People who belong to what is called

Tho Atlantic. aro usually quite uncon.

In n complex society, down to the beggar

way, has his social position" The
city missionaries of Boston report, with
some astonishmcnt. that q great social
gap exists between tho peanut vender
On the sidewalk and the peripatetic or.
gan grinder and that the children Of the
former are forbidden by their parents
to play with the children of the latter.
IL Is indeed asserted, and with consider
able truth, that mere wealth is pass
port to the best society, but this Is less
true in America than it is in England
and less true In Australia than Il il in
America
Tho reason IL that in England the
best society Is state institution and
therefore is more sure Of its position
and can afford to be less exclusive-to
DO moro hospitablo not only to wealth,
but also to intellect and originality
than is possible for the corresponding
class in democratic country. More
over, even from tho most HTistocratic
point Ct view, good reason can be
given for accepting wealth as substi-
tute for birth. The fact that man has
made much money implies, us a rule.
that both his mind and his physical
strength are far above the average
From what better stock, then, could
the best society be recruited? This, Of
course. is not the motive of the rich
mans reception in good society. 1t
might better be described as natures
reason for permitting the anomaly.

Eaton Hall. but few seem to know Of
the vast extent Of this splendid home OF
the Duke and Duchess Of Westminster.
So numerous are the rooms that 60

but it is only on the occasion of a royal

duchess are alone or have only a small
house party, they prefer to occupy q

LITIdATI0N DISPOSED OF.
"A ffecree OF Judge Laughlin Renders
UnassaiiabIe Mr. Forces Bond
on Benton Mine.

In the matter of Wilson Waddingham
ct al We. W. e. Dame ct al, involving the
ownership and possession of the Benton
gold mine in south Santa Fe county, in
chambers yesterday afternoon Judge
Lsnghlin ordered and decreed in sub
stance as follows:
That the prayer of the petitioners be
granted, and especially that the appoint
ment of William T. Thornton as trustee
of the Huhn estate interest in the mine,
vice W. E. Dame, resigned, be ratified
that said trustee be excused from giving
bond, and that said trustee be authorized
and directed as such to deliver to the
said Wilson Waddingham a conveyance
and release at law and in equity of all and
singular the property affected.
The decree is made subject to final
decree in the premises, to the sub-lease
of the Benton mine to Sale j. Force, to
the trust vested in j. H. Kuaebel as
trustee, and also to the condition to be
inserted in the conveyance and release to
be executed by the admisistratrix of the
HUM estate. For the purpose of these
proceedings the court retains jurisdic.
tion of the case.
j. H. Knaebel represented the petition
ers and Fl. M. Beardsley of Kansas City,
for Marie HUM, admnistratrix.
1t is understood that this decree finally
disposes of the litigation that has so long
clouded the title of the Benton mine and
renders Mr. Foree's WORKING bond on the
unassailable in all respects.
