The President Of fas Standard Oil Com
 rany sati fzis Bride.
 President Henry H. Rogers of tho Standard Gil company, who married Mrs. E4nelIe A BandeI q few days ago. is said fo have acquired 8 fortune Of s65. ooo. 900 by transactions iA oil. The bridegroom is 63 years olat hut his well preserved physique and vigorous buoy ancy of manner seem to take nearly 3 quarter century from his age
 Mr Rogers WAS born at Faifhaven, Conn, and his first wife was also na- tive of that town When she died, three years ago, Afr. Rogers gave $5o0, COG for the building of q church sa her memory at Fairhayen.
 He is looked up to as the presiding genius of the Connecticut village His $1, 900, 000 country place there Is one Of the finest ill New England, aud his an- nual expenditures there are lavish. AL though far richer than many of the mil honaires whose names are synonyms for wealth, MT. Rogers is singularly retir- ing and free from vulgar display For this reason his fame as ;t multimillIon- aire is comparatively slight. except among the persons who have benefited by his charities.
 These charities are not accompanied by brass band attachment, and few of them creep into the newspapers, for which reason the public has 10 idea Of their extent
 Mr Rogers IS saiG to have started ais business career as driver of | grocery wagon. His rise in life and the popular ity and respect he commands now in business circles are matters of Now York history
 Mrs. Randel. his bride is 45. She married Lucius k. Hart 9 years ago. and lived with him for % years. At the end of that time, suspeeting his fdel- fly. she set detectives to watch him, and soon secured evidence sufficient to obtain a divorce. Mrs. Hart resumed her maid en name of Randel Since that time she has lived with her father, . prominent diamond broker of New York.
 MT. and Mrs. Rogers will, it IS said, go to Fairhaven for the summer. MT Rogers steam yacht will also go 1s.te commission soon. and the newly married couple will probably spend part of their summer cruising. ng.-Exehange

Some Stories of the Famous Gentleman
 From Indiana.
 Senator Turpie is one of the most in. teresting characters in public life. He is perhaps, the most scholarly man on the Democratic side of the senate Handicapped by partial palsy and an unpleasant and indistinet voice, he yet ranks as one of the best orators in con. gress, though from his infirMFties of voice and delivery there is more plea sure in rea6ing than i'll listening to his speeches. He possesses q vast vocaaMlary and power of inyective that eonsstute him an antagonist to be avoided by dis. erect opponents.
 He was graduated at Kenyon, Ohio's famoss college. When he went there, he was q raw youth from the farm. It was the custom at Kenyon to divide the stu. dents into two sets or classes for pur. poses of debate. The division of new students was made when the course be. gan each yeN. The year of Turpie's first attendance the leaders divided the new corners amicahly until Turpie only was left. He was Of such unpromising ap- pearance that neither side wanted him. But he had to Dc taken by one or the other, so the leaders sat down and played game of seven up, Turpie, un. known to himself. forming the stake, but with the agreement that the loser should take him.
 After the game the winner thought he had a great joke on his antagonist, but his satisfaction did not last long. for ill month Turpie carae to be recog. nized as the best man in the college and remained it's intellectual star until grad. uation- - " axhington Post

LARGEST DAILY CITY CIRCULATION
D0 WOMEN W4NF TO FoHE2

DO WOMEN HdNF TO f0fER Under the laws of Illinois women have the right to vote for Trustees of the State University.
 In 1892 more than 90, 000 women in Ghieaeo registered for the por- pose of exercising this limited sufs frage. They were enthusiastic ID the exercise of their new.fqund priv ilege. They locked to the registfa. tion booths and when election day came they polled vote almost as large as their registration called for. This year less than 9,0oo women were registered and it is fair to as. sume that not all of these voted. The new toy had lost its attraction and had been thrown aside.
 It may be said that women can not grow enthusiastic over a limited suffrage. They want the whole thing or nothing. And yet it cannot be doubted that only by the vigorous and patriotic exercise of the franchise on the installment plan can the sex hope to attain the full electoral franchise. Only by being faithful ia small things can
 
 they hope 10 be entrusted with greater things.
 This they doubtless realize. There is hardly room for doubt, in view of this and similar exhibitions in other parts of the country, teat the women are not really desirous Of suffrage. The few active and intelligent women who have maintained the az itation for years speak for them selves rather than for aay consider able number of their sex.
 What the women want they generally get. Ii they had wanted the ballot they would have had il ere now Post. Biispateb

 If the state board of health of Indiana carries out it's idea, there is going to be less splitting done in the state than there is at present. Tine board is the inveter- ate enemy of the mum who spits, and proposes to pursue him with all the weapons that law will permit it to use. It has issued q circular letter to all rail road officials i'll Indiana asking them to have ejeeted from their trains every man who spits-that is. if he spits per, sistently after being warned not to
 In its circular the board explains that asputum is an exerement, full of the germs of ia grippe. nasal eatarrh and a whole train ef minor ills It also adds the information that espitting Is nasty and unnecessary labit' and that .wom- en do n9t. 7 It explains that the state board of health will pass q rule against splitting, which will have all the force of law if the railroads will only post it up and do their best to enforce it. With a stroke of persistence the board adds:
 When the rule is first published in each county, and when posted in public places, this beard will, of course, be loudly abused as foolish, impraetieable and idi0tie. Attention then being gain ed, we will publish in every county reasons for the action. D

As He Read 1t.

A small Indian boy made queer ren dering of Mrs. Hemans' familiar poem on the pilgrims, which he was required to turn from poetry into prose. The lines were:
 When band of exiles moered their bark
 On the wild Now England shore.
 And the little Indian thus interpreted: The banished musicians tied their dog on the coast of New England. ''

Around the World In Thirty Days.


 Perhaps you've never read Jules V9ne's thrilling story Around the World In Eighty Days. When it was written. the author thought he was tell. ing very big story. indeed. and so did every ono else The idea, said his read CTS, of travelling %, 900 miles i'll so days Preposteroasl
 But since then many travellers have made the trip in less time, and within the next four years any boy or girl will be able to mako it in 90 days. For in the year 1900 the Russians will com plete their famous Transsiberian rail- road, which connects Europe with the Pacific coast of Asia. Starting from New York: the tr1veler may then cross the Atlantic ocean to the coast of France. Here he may take train which will whirl him over Europe and Asia aud put him down at q Pacific port From this point he may ship to San Francisco and catch train for New York. It is calculated that the fare for the trip will not be more than $500 or $4o0
 If this railroad building keeps on, there will soon be no parts of the world left for our boys to explore. Chicago Record.
