JOHN LANGpoN HEAT,
Cost of Great Wnra.

DIR. Engel, a distinguished German
statistician, has figured the ap-
proximate cost of the principal wars of
the last 40 years as follows: Crimean
war, $4,000, 100000; Italian war of 1889,
100000, 900; Prusso-Danish war of 1864,
S35000000; the war of the rebellion in
the United States, $7,4OO,OO0,OO0, of
which the north's share was $500 ,0OO,-
600, the south's, $2,300,00O,0 1000; the
Prussian-Austrian war of 1866, $780,
O0O,000 Russo-Turkish war, $125,0O0,-
600; South African wars, $S,770, 900;
African war, $12, 25O,OOO, and Servian-
Bulgarian, $4,000, 900, and the Franco
Prussian war, $9,50O,O0O,OOO. During
this time 100000 have persisted as the
result of war. Sickness has probably
killed more people than have guns or
swords. 1t was sickness that ran the
death rate in the Crimean war up to
100000, or only $4,000 less than fell in
all the tremendous battles of our own
civil war. During the Franco-Prussian
war $4,000 died of sickness. accidents
or suicide, and 10000 in the German
prisons alone, while the total number
of sick and wounded, whose lives were
doubtless shortened by their illness or
injuries, was Az, 421.-Pittsburg Dis

What is the ideal Peoples palace9
Depend upon it, good many rich
men are thinking about the answer to
this problem.
There is something more than coin
cidence i'm the recent building of such
great establishments as the Auchmuty
schools in New York, the Pratt instr
tute in Brooklyn and the Armour insti-
tute in Chicago. Men of wealth who
realize their responsibilities are provid-
ing many American cities, and eveh
towns of moderate size, with splendid
institutions. wherein instruction and
amusement are provided in varying pro-
portions for all who wish. And there
are others ready to follow the example.
There is no one better qualified to an-
swer the query than ex-Mayor and ex-
Congressman Abram S. Hewitt, of New
York, who. as the son-in-law of Peter
Cooper, has for many years been prom
inent in the management of Cooper
union. Edward Cooper and Mr.. Hewitt
have in the aggregate put into the
union millions of dollars. They plunged
their hands deep into their own pockets
few years ago to repair and enlarge
the building--a purpose for which no
funds were left by Peter Coopers will.
And Mr.. Hewitt has recently given an
other illustration of family methods in
announcing a new gift of 100000, be-
queathed by Julia Cooper, 100000 Of
which was devised in proper form, and
100000 added as an afterthought in an
unwitnessed penciled line rendered
valid only by the generous agreement

had money enough to approach limit
to its usefulness. The ideal has never
been attained. and without attaining
it altogether, Peoples palace might
go a long way further than any has
yet gone, in making the lives of the
people bright, healthy and happy"
Mr.. Hewitt added that any Peoples
palace should be orderly and well kept,
so as to teach those who frequent it the
beauty of neatness and the value of
system.
