HOW TO SPEND MILLIONS.
Two Writers Give Interesting Hints
Which May Relieve ScrantOnians OC
Much Worrv

Perhaps there is hardly anyone who
has not thought at some time of what
he or she would do if possessed OF a
large fOrtune-say, of several milliOns,
or even OF $10000,000 or $lj,0O0OO0. Not
having it, the next most pleasant
thing is TO imagine the possession Of
such q fortune, and certainly nothing
is easier than to lay it out according
to what appears likely to bring the
mCst enjoyment, says the Baltimore
News.
Two of the magazines this month
tell how certain English millionaires
really spend their mOney-the Million
aire being defined as a man who has
a million sterling invested at percent
This gives G5O,000 a year, the mere
contemplation of which affords what
the Irish term a power Of dlvar-
shun." In one Of the articles in Gas
sells" the contributor Mr.. Arnold
White, mentions some Of the items OF
necessary outlay as follows: $4,000
for rent of a town house for four
months, P3, 500 for the keep Of the
house, exclusive of stables and Wines
country house, Gl4000, which includes
the maintenance Of 2S gardeners and 80
indoor servants; travel and amusement
HtuN'B NlblINo - IDOS AODiNtO d-N'oi
while poor relations are to get only
$500 and philantrophy $4,000. There
is q balance left to cover such items
as politics, religion, insurance, hrtI
literature, racing, wedding preSents
and crossing sweepeTs
Mr.. Whites idea of living on a scale
commensurate With the income en-
joyed are a little curious as in the Lon
don house there is to be a dinner five
nights in the week for four mounths,
to which from TO 20 persons arc to
be invited. Sixteen indoor servants
will be needed. The millionaire must
have nine carriage hOrsese each to cost
GEO year, and five common horses
and he will also have steam yacht to
cost when in commission, G1,5O0 a
month. But, reading over all this, why
so little In philanthropy MI White
| seems to think that it should not be
even so much, but, he explains, it Is

mans lady acquaintance will look upon

ACQUITTED.

Tha jurors thought that was very
witty, and rubbed their hands in APP
probation. They were still smiling in
diligently when Brands attorney at
tackled them. His client, he declared,
was the dupe of an artful woman. At
these words the jurors looked very
much hurt but they frightened up
when the attorney went on to say how
much his client had loved the coun-
tess. From this the attorney took his
cue, and in the course of half an hours
speech he dwelt on the beauty, the
sacredness of such a love. At the end
the jury was in a real sentimental
stew. They We're out but five minutes,
and came back with q verdict acquit-
ting both the countess and her lover.
The judges had no remarks to make
upon the verdict in the criminal case,
but, to save the honor of France and
the majesty of French law, they gave
civil damages against BRAND and the
countess in the sum of twenty cents
each. Thus We're the Oppenheims
salved and the law avenged. The two
lovers left the court arm in arm amid
applause from the spectators benches.
Two days afterward nine of the mem
bers of this jury were on another jury
in the same court. a case of petty
larceny came up. a man had stolen

ARRESTED.

When the Oppenheims discovered the
loss and threatened to prosecute him,
the countess went to see them. She
was very high and mighty. She eX-
pressed lively indignation at the dis
honesty of Mr.. BRAND, but added that,
out Of pity for him, she would under
take to repay the entire amount that
he had stolen. The Oppenheims were
pleased, not only with the proposition
but with the countess, and agreed to
drop any thought of prosecution. How
much they were pleased with the Coun-
ess will never be known, exactly, al
though she limited in court that she
might have something to tell If the
case went against her. In any event,
these two flowery letters were put in
evidence at the trial:
"A million thanks, dear madam, for
your exquisite letter. May God and
the Holy Virgin bless you-you and
your adorable children. / return to
you the letter of NJ. BRAND. We will
speak of it later If you will permit
You may be sure that your mention Of
my beloved mother will bring you

1t was but few days after the
writing of these letters that the OPP

Dez and Percy Nash are in
Alaska. There is a pass travelled
by those going to the Yukon
mines, and at one place there is a
huge, steep mountain, covered
with snow and ice, over which the
miners have to take their supplies.
Muleteers charge a cent and a
half per pound for carrying freight
over this mountain. The Nash
boys have taken an eight horse
power engine to this mountain and
haul freight over by sleds and
ropes. They have bonanza.
Dez was the second man to reach
the new big mines last year. In
coming out, he carried on his back
40 pounds over the glacier, the
heaviest weight ever attempted
by one man. Stephens, Multno-

A New Law Firm.

The pension office is soon to lose
another efficient clerk. The loss this
time is uot due to the pugllistic pro-
clivities of the gentleman in question,
but he leaves of his own accord to

clerk in the office for the past four
years, has rendered his resignation to
take effect November I. Mr.. Gates
will 60 to Maryville, where he and
Mr.. Samuel Nuchols, now Of this city,

fession. The firm will be styled Gates

tice in all the Blount county courts,
and in the United States and supreme
courts, which meet in this city.

an office in Maryville as soon as posi-
Bile after..the first Of November. They

are proficient in the statues on Tenn
essee and general principles of law.
They go forth well equipped to build
up liberal practice.
Mr.. Gates is recognized as one Of
the mos, efficient clerks in Major Car
penter's office. When he leaves it will
