1t is not possible to be too conscien-
tious, but it is easy to imagine that
conscientiousness includes what it does
not include. In a recent religious con-
ference devout missionary objected
to accepting millionaire's gift of two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars for
missionary purposes on the ground
that the rich man is not so religious
as the missionary thinks he ought to
be. This man became rich in almost
the only way in which vast wealth can
be accumulated honestly-by the exer-
else of superior business ability. He
has given substantial proof of his deep
interest in the welfare of those less
favored pecuniarily by setting aside
several million dollars to be used fol
their benefit in religious, moral and
educational ways. The objecting mis-
sionary evidently had been reading
the sweeping TRADES of the anarchistic
newspapers against the possessors OF
wealth, and-what few Intelligent read
ers do-accepting their allegations as
true.

Emil Minson lost jewelry and money

whereabouts consulted a clairvoyant.
She told him that woman with blond

THAT PETROLEUM LAKE.

Only Two Miles From the Ocean and
of the Best Quality.
San Francisco, Aug. 4. = While the,
world is excited over the gold discov-
cries in the north, sight has. been lost
of another that promises to be of great
value in the development Of that sec
ton. Six months ago a lake of al
most pure petroleum was discovered
and samples sent to Seattle for ana1y-
sis. The report on these has just been
made public, and the find is reported
to be of most marvellous richness. A
company has been formed in Seattle
to handle the product, and travellers
from there say that the company in.
tends to put it on the Alaskan market
at once. The lake is unknown depth,
several niles wide and five to six
miles long, and the quality of the Pc
troleum is said to be of the finest. It
is fed by springs, and the hills sur
rounding it are said to be rich in coai
and asphalt. The lake is only two
miles from the ocean, so that the diff
culties Of transportation are reduced
to minimum. 1t is the expectation
of the owners of the lake to take it's
product into the mining camps of
Northern Alaska wherever the water
ways will permit.

ALREADY SELECTED
NEW PRESIDENT OF THE NORTHERN

But His Name VIII Not De An
nounced for q FortniEht-He Is
An Operating Man and IL Con-
nected with an Eastern System of.
Which Morgan & Co. Are Largely
Interested-J. j. Hill in the Di-.
res'tOry. @

New York, Aug. 4.-Conferences dur
Ing the latter part of last week in this
city settled in way that is under
stood to be satisfactory to all con-
cerned the interests of the Northern
Pacific and the Great Northern rail-
reads. 1t was decided that an operat-
ing man should be president of the,
Northern Pacific, and that Daniel s.
Lamont should be vice president and
take active part in the management of
the Northern Pacific property. The.
syndicate which purchased the reor-
ganization stock last spring and which
is composed of Jacob Schiff, William
Rockefeller, D. Willis James, Col. Oil
yer Payne, Daniel S.. lamont, John s.
Kennedy, the Deutsche Bank Of Ber-
lin, Lord Mount Stevens of Boston,,
James Stillman Of New York, James j..
Hill, of the Great Northern, land others,
will be represented in the new direc-
cory. The announcement will be made.
within fortnight of the details of the
adjustment of relations between these
companies, together with the name Of
the new president. The new president
has already been selected, and is con-
nected with an Eastern system in
which J. z. Morgan & Co. are largely
interested.
The adjustment is one that is re-
garded as harmonizing all the differ
ences Of management in the Northern
Pacific and the Great Northern. 1t
may be positively stated that ex-Secre-
tary Lamont will accept the vice-presi-
dency and the responsibilities that will
be entailed upon him by the office IN
der the arrangements just completed.
