the first floor are finished in beautifully

the finest room in the hotel is the ballroom,
brilliantly lighted by electricity, as in
fact, the entire house, and dentirely surround
ed by a gallery, where those who do not
care TO dance may enjoy the music of the
fine orchestra.
Among the other amusements provided
for the guests are tennis, croquet, bill

fit through the halls, under cover of the
friendly darkness, prepared to take dip

The Rise of Pierpont Morgan

The fact that Junius Pierpont Morgan

OF the LeEigh Valley Railroad gives him
control OF more lines of transportation
than any other man In the world. His
word alone is law as Involving the spend
ing and operation of millions OF cal pital
lie controls the New York Central and
Hudson River Railroad, the West Shore
Railroad, the Harlem Road, the Rome,
Watertowu and ogdensburg Road, the
Reading Road, the Erie Road, and now the
Lehigh Valley Road, as is told below He
therefore controls all but two of tie great
roads that lead from New York city to
the great West.
he controlSa huge percentage of the com
merce-carrying ferries of the metropolis;
his miners delve into the black depths of
Ihe earth for coal, and it is this man who
suddenly looms up as the nest gigantic
figure on the financial horizon. He was a
power several years ago, when henegotiat-
ed the notorious bond deal, but to-day, con-
trolling these great railroad corporations
as he does, and even reaching cut fer the
absolute control Of the st. Lawrence River
traffic from Clayton to Montreal, he stand
alone and unique among the money uowert
OF this land
Through the firm founded many years
ago by his less daring father, Junius s.

to London and established a bank. he is
more Influential with Inoneyed Englishr en
than any half dozen other Americans tits
largely through this influence that he ha
gained his tremendous power, for, repre-
senting, as he does, untold millions Of Brit

uses and disposition, for the investors
trust him blindly.
He also wiclds large influence n the az

intcie ests in the conduct of the New York

The other Man Didn,t survive

The grenadiers of the famous "Old
Guard will never lie forgotten In France
as long as the memory of brave men shall
live in the national heart. But some of
them, at least, were as bright as they
were brave, as the following trustworthy
anecdote bears witness:
One fine morning, after peace had been
concluded between France and Russia,
the two Emperors, Napoleon and AIexan-
der, were taking a short walk, arm In
arm, around the palace park at Erfurt.
As they approached the sentinel, who
stood at the foot OF the grand staircase,
the man, who was grensdier Of the
guard, presented arms. The Emperor nf
France turned, and, pointing with pride
to a great scar that diviled the grenadie.'s
face. said:
What do you think. my brother, of SOL
dters who can survive such wounds as
tbat?"
And you," answered Alexander, "what
do you think of soldiers who can inflict
them?"
without stirring an inch from his posi-
tion or changing the expression of his
face in the least, the stern old grenadier
himself replied gravely:

MAY BE a DOUBLE MURDER.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles lie Cluse
Found Dead in Their Kitchen.

BGyport, l.. L., July 10.-Coroner BeI.-
nett aud TIE local police today admit them
selves completed ymystified over theStrange
deaths OF Mr. and Mrs. Charles lie Cluse.
The theory that they died from poison
secrGs the most tenable, but whether 1t
will develop into murder, suicide or acci-
dent is the point that is keeping the entire
community goSsiping and in a fever OF ex-
citcIuent.
Bertha lie Cluse, a granddaughter Of the
aged couple, who lives next coOr, ran
into their house last night to pay them
visit.
The door was open and the Child ran in,
calling for her grandmother. She was sur
prsed that she received no answer.
She continued On until she reached the
kitchen, where she found the old couple
lying strangely still, stretched out on tie
floor.
In an instant her screams reused the
neghbors, WHO came running from all di-
rections.
They found not sign of a struggle
Everything in the kitchen was in its ac-
customed place, and not piece of cloth
ing On either body was disarranged
There was even faint smile Oh the old
woman's kipGly face
One side OF Mr.. lie Cluse's face still had
traces Of lather, and close be side him lay
his open razor.
But there was nothing to indicate that
the razor played part in the strange
deaths. There were two slight gashes
on the old mans face, but neither was
deeper than the one Il nervous man VIII
make While shaving himself.
There is one theory that the old man
dropped dead from heart disease, and That
when his aged wife saw him dead the
| shock killed her, IL seems improbable,
however, that this could be the case,
particularly as neither one was known
to bc afflicted with a weak heart
Many OF the villagers think that the
old couple deliberately decided to axe
themselves out of the world that had
naturally lost much OF its charm, and
took some quickly fatal poison.
The fuul play theory is also advanced
by many, though they We're a highly re
spected couple, without u known enemy,
and robbery could not have been the mo-
tive, for not thing in the house was
disturbed
An AUTOPSY is probably the only thing
that can clear up the mystery.
