lev the Sun property had been heavily
mortgaged to j. Pierpont Morgan, who
would hereafter be its virtual owner.
Holland" after an examination OF
Mr.. Dana's will and other records, dis
misses every one of these stories as
utterly untrue and misleading. Charles
A. Dana left an unencumbered estate
worth not less than $l,00000 and more
probably worth $1,25OOO0. Not dol
lar Of his holding Of sun stock, or of
the holding of his two close friends
and co-trustees, Thomas Hitchcock
and William NJ. Laffan, had ever been
hypothecated. In thirty years the sun
has paid dividends exceeding 1000 per
cent. and this year it has already
earned 2j per cent. on the capital in
vested and ere the year Is ended will
earn more. Indeed, the only scintila
Of foundation for any of the numerous
adverse reports which have been cur
rent during Charles A. Dana's Connec-
ton with the Sun lay in the fact that
some years ago, when Mr.. Dana con-
templated erecting a new building for
the mechanical plant of the paper, n
mortgage Of 100000 at 4 per cent. was
executed, it being deemed more adj
visabe to borrow the money than to
pass an annual dividend.
1t was Characteristic of Mr.. Dana
that he disdained to notice any of these
uncomplimentary stories. But it is due
to his reputation as q business man
that the truth should now become pub
lie. While his career i'm journalism
would have been an uneXampled sue
cess without regard to pecunary con-
siderations it certainly is gratifying to
know that there was sufficient inteli-
gence and discernment among the pco-
PIE within range of the Suns circua-
tion to make possible the financial sue
cess of that superior newspaper. As
HOLLAND truly says, "the business
success of the paper is important as
showing that it is possible to maintain
in American journalism the higher
ideals and yet gain large business
prosperity"
Long life to the New York Sun. and
may its shadow never grow less!

blshopric but his friends have this

In the three fortresses in Havana there
are now confined 4,7H political prisoners,
and counting those deported to the Isle
of Pines there must be 10000 in the
whole Cuban command. From the COM
menCement of the war until this date
S,27i people have been deported to Afri-
can penal settlements; 427 prisoners of
war have been shot i'm the Fosse de los
Laurels, Havana, alone, and 1O3 people,
chiefly American citizens, have been eX-
PEELED from the island. Counting the
enormous number of persons who have
disappeared from their homes and never
again been heard Of the deaths of pacif-
icus from starvation and disease, the
captured rebels executed in the interior,
the massacre OF sick and wounded, and
the appalling lines of Spanish graves
marking every movement of the imperial
forces, some adequate idea may be gain
ed of the inferno into which the pearl
of the Antilles has been turned. During
the month of August 23,470 soldiers We're
admitted into hospitals with yellow lev-
er and dysentery, and these may be du-
plicated with the men untitled for duty,
but lnvalidated into the barracks Of the

1t is very welcome news which comes
through Hollands" admirable New
York correspondence for the Philadel-
phia Press that Charles A. Dana sue
ceeded as well upon the business side
of journalism as upon the intellectual.
There have been numerous rumors re-
garding the business affairs of the
New York Sun. one was that it lost
heavily by its support of General But

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Joseph a. Scranton in his Tariff
for His Personal Revenue Only" sheet
this morning asks me to "stand up" I
beg leave to assure the gentleman that
have never yet been in such condition
that | could not stand up-Can he say as
much? His charges do not disturb me
in the least. They are made to divert
attention and suspicion from himself. I
plead guilty to the charge of having
done what | coud during the late cam
paign for the Republican ticket, but 1t
was for the entire ticket. He cannot
truthfully say as much. Although his
paper is almost devoid of influence, it is
possible that had it been in favor of the
ticket it might have helped save Mr..
Langstaff. Probably there were hundreds
of reasons why he could not do this.
Stand up, Joseph, yourself-if you are in
condition.

THE FIRST ACCIDENT CAUSED BY

Yesterday morning about o'clock an
accident occurred on County street, near
Parkcr'S stables, between Middle and
Crawford streets, which came near re-
sultinE seriously. 1t seems that Mrs.
| Harris. mother of Mr.. I. Q. Harris, pro-
prietor of Hotel Portsmouth, stopped at
Dayton & Sons commission house, adj
| joining Parker's stables. to purchase 4
crate of eggs. While standing there
| she saw an electric car coming from
towards Water street Her horse saw II
| about the same time and began prancing
| around and appeared very much fright
| ened. Mrs. Harris asked an old cOlored
man named Davey Council to hold her
| horse for her. Davey caught hold Of the
! bride. In the meantime the car con-
| t'nued to approach, getting nearer all
the time, and the horse became more
unruy. Mr.. John Dayton says that
seeing the danger that would likely
| occur should the car continue towards
the horse, he jumped in the street and
| waved the motorman down when he was
about seventy feet away. Seeing he did
not stop he called to him TO stop, but
| the man, whose name Is c. j. Spence,
| continued to come on and struck the
old man Council. knocking him down.
! the horse then jumped across the track.
The car struck him, and passing, hit
the buggy, turning 1t over throwing
Mrs. Harris out on the rocks. sknning
her face and bruisinE her. The horse
started off with the buggy upside down
in run. but was stopped by the time
he reached Middle street
Mrs. Harris was carried through the
stables to Mr.. w. S. Langhornes drug
store, on Crawford street. Dr. McAur-

and had her carried to her home, ut the

The sleighs are very close to the ground, hardly six or eight inches away. They are built to accommodate two moderate-s sized people sitting very close together.

EMPRESS JosEpHINE's DEFECT.
Story of How She Gave to the World the
 Handkerchief.

It is related of thei Empress Josephine that she was the first to introduce to the world the custom of carrying a inc had bad teeth and to cover up this defect she resorted to the use of piece of the finest linen trimmed with rare lace.
 There are many women of to-day whose beauty would be enhanced in the same way; or rather whose defective teeth are source of constant regret And no wonder. Most women are abso- lutely ignorant of the harm done their teeth by worthless connections sold to clean them We have in the market preparations containing pumice stone and cutie fish and under the guise of cleaning" these miserable prepara- way for decay near the gums, and do all sorts of mischief
 It Is safe to say that never until the advent of Pearlo-dento has the public had an ideal preparation for cleansing the mouth. It is due time that every body who cares for his or her teeth should investigate this subject. No country outside of America has such an extraordinary demand for worthless tooth preparations.
 Pearlo-dento costs 50 cents a box. It is worth it. It is the ideal paste, put up in ideal form, and has the en- dorsement of dentists behind it. It polishes the teeth (not grinds them) ,and you don't have to rinse out your mouth thoroughly after using it either for fear some acid or alkaline reaction will injure your teeth.
 You will never know what an ideal tooth paste is until you try Pearlo- dento.
