COST OF NEWPORT COTTAGES
Mrs. Belmont Will Not Sell Marble
House for Less Than Million

Mrs. Oliver Belmont sets a very high
value on the Marble house" at New
port. At least, she refused to sell it to
Potter Palmer for less than 81, eco 900.
The house, however, is assessed at $780,
goo, and che will not take a cent less than
100000.
Mrs. Palmer will content herself with
Pratt's "Arleigh' which is large enough
for any sort of a Newport entertainment.
For Newport entertainments are never
very large One may see there the same
faces with little variation. One may al
most compare Newport to large, ex-
elusive ana expensive club, where en-
tree is effected only by long and constant
maneuverlng.
Calvin S. Brice also negotiated for
the purchase of the Marble house

THE SOURCE OF THEIR GREATNESS

COMBINATIONS SKILL FOR COMPLICATED DIS
Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1897-10-07

The Ludwig Herman inquest was
concluded last Thursday, several more
witnesses being examined but no new
facts brought to light. The jury final
ly took the case and after considering
the testimony gave a verdict prac-
tically To the effect that it was mur.
der. One or two of the jurors thought
possibly it might be suicide, but all
signed the following verdict: 1--WE,
the undersigned members of jnry in
the case of Ludwig Herman, having
listened to the testimony, do come to
the conclusion that Ludwig Herman
came to his death by gun shot wound
in the head, the gun being in the
hands OF some party or parties nn-
known to the jury" There is no
prospects at present that the mystery
will ever be solved.

THE HABIT OF SAVING.

Now that the good times are march
ing upon US, filling the farm and the
factory, and making the people cheer
full and the country glad, it might be
well for all to remember that the best
way TO profit by the depression of the
last four years is TO save something
out OF the new prosperity for any other
possible season of idleness and distress.
Saving comes easily when it is once
begun. Do not spend more than you
earn. When Peter Cooper earned 81
he lived on 80 cents of it, and the other
successful men will testify how hard
the struggle was to save the first money
and how easy it was after the habit had
been formed. There is safety only in
saving. Weekly.

BIG BON CONTRACT.

w. w. Huelster of Grand Rapids
was in the city few days this week.
He says his business, that of manufac-
turing paper boxes has improved won
derfully in the past three months, and
there are unmistakable evidences of
business advances in all lines where he
is interested in supplying boxes.
While here he closed contract with
the Belding Bros. & Co. through A. N.
Belding to supply their mill here and
at Rockville with boxes for the next
year and a half. 1t is big contract as
immense quantities are used and his
factory in this city and Grand Rapids
will be taxed to their utmost capacity
in filling orders.

THAT HORSE RACE.
Mckinley Wilkes the Trotter Wins it-He
Takes Three Heats From Lady
Bonair the PAGER.

There was large delegation OF Bel
day to witness the horse race between
j. B. Vincent's trotter and Samuel
Davis PAGER for 300 side. 1t was a
pretty contest for speed and the friends
OF each were highly elated over the
exhibition. The Ionia Sentinel gave
the following account of it:
The race at the fair grounds Satur-
day between Mckinley Wilkes, owned
by Vincent of Belding, and Lady
Bonair, owned by Davis Of Smyrna,
was nice exhibition and demonstrate
ed that both are horses with a git
thar" gait. The first two heats went
to the mare, the time being 2:26f and
2:2lt. Mckinley Wilkes then took the
next three heats in succession in 2:2l4,
2:2l4 and 2:22. 1t was pretty race, but
in spite OF the result there are num-
ber of horseman here who insisted that
Lady Bonalr can win out, and they say
they will back up their assertion if
necessary They say this horse was
fourth in race OF something like 2:l2
at Grand Rapids, and she could have
made much better time than 2:26 in the
first heat on the Ionia track which was
never in better or as good condition rs
at present. Mckinley Wilkes, on the
other hand, demonstrated that he had
good staying qualities. There was a
liberal attendance, and Starter Adams
gave the word.
Mr.. Adams says there is no doubt
but that Mr. Vincent's colt will make
a wonderful record within the next
two years; that the race was fair one,
Notwithstanding there were some
kickers
The American rules were discarded
and both parties agreed that it should
be square up and up race and it was,
being the fourth race Mckinley w.
has fought out.

ERICH RICHER, POOR POORER"

That the rich are growing richer
and the poor poorer is IA charge fre-
quently made against modern society,
and the reiteration OF the charge to-
gether with the acknowledged multi
plication of millionaires and the aggre.
CATION of capital in large companies
have led great many people to ac-
cept the statement and to believe that
there is some fundamental mistake in
the social organization. The truth Of
This charge is the subject OF an inquiry
by Carroll ID. Wright, chief of the fed
eral bureau of labor statistics, and the
results of his investigation are given in
an article from his pen in the Atlantic
Monthly.
The conclusion arrived at by Mr..
Wright is that the statement is but
partially true, and that the inference
sought to be conveyed is not justified.
y more truthful statement would be,
he says, that 1.-THE rich are growing
richer, many more people than for
merly are growing rich, and the poor
are growing better off. "
Taking the United States census re-
turns as guide, Mr.. Wright finds
that the number employed in the
lowest walks and poorest paid pur-
suits is decreasing while the number
employed in the higher walks and bet
ter paid pursuits is increasing. 1t
appears also that the amount of earn
es per capita are increasing. In
1850 the average amount earned by
each employe in manufacturing and
mechanical pursuits was S247; in 1860
the amount was $3.50; in 1870 it was
1902, in 1880 it was S347, and in 1890 it
was SI45
Finally, TO ascertain whether the
people are becoming pauperized, the
author compares the number of pau
pers in almshouses in 1850 with the
number in 1890, and finds that while in
the former year there were 2,l7l to
each million of inhabitants, there were
in 1890 but l,l66 to each million Of
inhabitants.
These figures sustain the opinion of
nearly every unprecedented observer
who has taken any note of social con
ditions. The workman of today, they
hold, receives better wages than the
workman OF former days, his wages
buy more than ever before, and he en-
joys many comforts and luxuries which
were totally unknown few years ago.
1t is not denied that the rich are
growing richer. The figures just
quoted, however, tend to show that
the poor are sharing in the same pros
perity, and the statistics of wealth
show that there is abundant material
for adding to the wealth of the rich
without draining from the poor. The
total wealth of the country in 1850 was
S3OS per capita; $3.50 in 1870; $50 in
1880, and Sl,036 in 1890 There is,
therefore, it appears, "A constant crea-
tion Of new wealth.

a banker sauntering home for his
dinner saw so bill lying on the curb
stone. OF course he picked it up and
took the numbers in order to find the
owner. While at home his wife re-
marked that the butcher had sent in Il
bill amounting to 80. The only
money he had with him was the bill he
had found, which he gave her and she
paid the butcher. The butcher paid it
to a farmer for calf and the farmer
paid it to merchant who in turn paid
it to the washerwoman, and she owing
the banker note of SO, went to the
banker and paid her note. The banker
recognized the bill rs the one he had
found, which up to this time had set
tied $50 of debt. On more careful
examination he found that the bill was
