There has been much gossip as to the

having been alternately called a failure

and was for five months exhibitions.
Fitzsimmons is reputed to receive Is per
cent of the profits from the fight pictures.
This would indicate that the pictures mad
realized nearly $4,000 during the last FIVE

prefaced with this statement: THE
continued use Of feathers and birds
on women's hats is, 1 think, due to an
urwillngness on their part to assume
individual responsibility. Most women
know the cruelty entailed in obtaining
the pIumes that ornament their hats,
but excuse themselves on the ground

tiles of modern times. unique in the
history of personal philanthropy. The
magnitude of the gift is beginning to
be appreciated by the people, and, as it
is, the character of Girard is beginning
to reveal itself in a new and more IA
vorable light to the people of the United
States. Time and the COOL sober judg-
ment that comes half century after a
man has passed away show this remark
able man to have been one of the great
characters of the age.
At the time of Girard's death his
estate amounted to about 81, 500, 900. It
was by long odds the greatest fortune in
the United States at that time, and it
was surpassed by few if any of the
private fortunes abroad. One hundred
and forty thousand dollars of this vast
sum was bequeathed to members of the
Girard family, $780, 900 to the city of
Philadelphia for the improvement of its
water front, $500, 600 to the state of
Pennsylvania for internal improvements
and the balance in trust to the city of
Philadelphia for the erection, improve
ment and maintenance of a college for
poor white orphan boys. In addition
Girard devised to the cities of New
Orleans and Philadelphia $50, 900 acres
of land in the state of Louisiana, but
this was subsequently lost to the lega-
tees by a decision of the United States
supreme court.
Two million dollars was set apart by
his will for the expense of the erection
of the college. Excavations commenced
on May 6, 1888, and the completed
buildings were transferred to the board
of directors on the 13th of November,
1847. 1t will thus be seen that 1 5 years
were consumed in carrying out the pre-
liminary instructions of Girard S will.
The work, however, was largely delayed
by reason of innumerable suits brought
against the estate by the heirs of Girard.
Pupils were accepted as soon as the
building was completed, and the num-
Der has been gradually growing larger
year by year until the number of boys
now being maintained and educated
reaches the large total of l, 500.
There are hundreds of applications
on the waiting list of the college, and
it is considered rare distinction to
finally obtain admission to the institu-
tion. In 1882 the value of the estate
left for the endowment of the college
amounted to between 50, 900, 900 and
So, 900, 600. In 1895 the total value Of
the estate reached the enormous sum
of $14, ,828, and the net income
amounted to $1,000, $50. %, and this
latter sum is now sufficient to maintain
the college.
Girard left minute instructions re-
garding the construction and manage
ment of the college. The main building,
which was built according to his direc-
tions, is of white marble, and in its de-
sign resembles Il Greek temple. 1t is
considered the purest specimen of that
style of architecture in this country. A
colonnade of 81 Corinthian columns
form the peristyle and aid in support
ing the splendid marble roof. The re-
mains of the great philanthropist rest
in a marble crypt in this building, and
in front Of it is marble statue of Gil
rard. The face of this statue was copied
from a death mask taken at the direc-
tion of DR.. John Y. Clark. The artist
