From table recently compiled that gives the fortunes left by one thousand persons in England in the past ten years it is significant that the list en- tirely excludes art, literature, music and the drama, while the learned pro- fessions, medicine and law are well last. All of which contains the comforting suggestion that the knack of money making excludes every other talent. No fewer than thirty-eight bankers, for instance, have left an average of considerably over $2,5OOOOO each. Coal owners and iron-masters early reach s1, 100000 and money-lenders are close up to them. Three-fifths of the for tunes made in brewing were monopo- lized by three single brewers, so that the average is not very high But there is not single trade of those known as "commerciar' which does not beat mere "brains'' in the most hollow fashion.

Numismatists in England are much interested in the recent discovery of ancient Venetian coins in proximity to one of the Mashonaland rivers. The coins in question have, in the mean time, been sent down to Natal, and sub mitted to expert scrutiny at Pieterma- ritzburg, with the result that casts of the originals are to be sent on to Lon don. The coins have been declared to be medals struck at Venice between 1870 and 1577 A. D. On one side is a figure of St. Mark, with the inscriptions 'This dukedom be thine, o Christ, and the giver be Thine;" while on the re- verse are three figures, two in a kneel- ing position, the other upright, with d halo, on which the inscription is: "The Doge Alloys Mocenigo, first magistrate of Venice"

Unknown Man KILLED at HoltOn.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
HOLTON, Ind, March 9.-An unknown
man was killed at this place by a train on
the B. & o. Southwestern, due here at 1907
last night The man arrived here yesterday
from Nebraska, Fremont county, and was
about town until 9:35 in the evening. His
body was found about 200 yards east of the
depot by the side of the track, about 1920
this morning, horribly mutilated. Nothing
was found on the body to reveal it's iden-
tity. A piece of paper, however, was found,
on which was written, &C. r. Wilson," and
scrawl of something else; a silver ring
with the date 1896 engraved on the face,
some smoking tobacco and bobbin of a
sewing machine. When seen yesterday, he
claimed to be a sewing machine adjuster
from Minneapolis. He was about five feet
seven inches in height, weighing about $50
pounds; blue eyes, sandy hair, mustache
and imperial, and claimed to be of Scotch
descent. He was very gentlemanly in his
appearance, but had the look of a heavy
drinker.
He claimed to have brother at $50 West
Washington street, indianapolis. tele-
gram was sent to that number to-day, and
was answered that no such man was known
there. The evidence to-day at the coroner 8
inquest indicated that the death was sui
cidal. The body will be in charge of Under
taker Cox until tomorrow.

P0STMISTRESS'S TROUBLES.
Miners at Dyea Call for Mail for One
Thousand Different Names.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-An interesting
letter showing rather anomalous condi-
ton of affairs as regards postal matters has
been received by First Assistant Postmaster
General Heath from Clara III. Richards, the
postmaster at Dyea, Alaska. She transmits
the complaint of the president of a trading
company because she would not deliver the
mails for more than two persons to any one
individual who might be waiting in line at
the office window. Under date Of Feb. "A
Miss Richards writes there is a line several
hundred feet long in front of the office all
day, and to stop the whole line to wait for
any one person to call for list of names
amounting sometimes to six hundred and
even thousand, from the outlying camps,
would work great hardship on the general
public. She also limits the sale of stamps
to twenty-five or fifty cents worth to one
person, as it is impossible to keep supply
on hand, and private spectators getting
possession of them charge as high as %
cents each. Miss Richards adds that the
assistance given her thus far in conducting
the affairs of the Office has been entirely
voluntary, and that as a result Of the en-
larged business her bond has been increased
from 500 to $1,000 without increase of pay.

WILKEsBARRE. Pa. March s.-The
jury in the case of Sheriff Martin and his
deputies, charged with the killing of the
strikers at Lattimer. on Sept 10 last. this
morning returned verdict of not guilty.
Long before the time for court to convene
there was a big crowd waiting to gain adj
mittance to the courtroom, and when the
doors were thrown open there was wild
rush, but only a limited number was adj
mitted. Judge Woodward did not take his
seat on the bench until five minutes after
10 o'clock, the jury coming in few min
utes later.
When the jurors had taken their seats the
roll was called, each man answering to his
name. The clerk then asked: Gentlemen
of the jury, have you agreed upon YER
dict?'

When the jury retired last evening they
took only one ballot, and it was unanimous

pared to render verdict before leaving
the box.
After the jury had been thanked and dis
charged by Judge woodward, District At
torney Martin asked that the defendants be
required to continue their bail bond, as
there are still seventeen indictments of
murder hanging over them and thirty
eight for feloniously wounding. The bond
was continued, as requested District At
torney Martin says he has not decided what
to do with these other cases The prose-
cutting committee, it is said, will insist upon
further prosecution.

ANDERSON, Ind, March 9.-The mid
year meeting of the Indiana w. c. T. u.
closed in this city tonight 1t has been ex-
ceptionally well attended The treasurer and
secretary, and Mrs McWhirter, the presi-
dent, delivered their reports in full con-
tanning the information which the Journal
gave this morning in brief The forms CT
the petitions to be circulated over the State
and presented to the next Legislature ask
ing for the extension of franchise to wom-
en- were also prepared, and it was decided
to have five thousand of them printed and
distributed among the different unions in
the State. One form will be for the Senate
and the other for the House. and all sigma
lures will be attached to both. The work is
to be done thoroughly, and when the Legis-
lature convenes there will probably be the
most voluminous petition yet presented to
the Indiana Assembly.
The Indiana w. c. T. U. is after the Indi-
ana colleges and especially the State Uni
versity. Rumors of depravity and the liquor
traffic finding it's way into the colleges have
reached their ears, and they have investi-
gated and claim to have found proof of
the charges. The mothers have also got an
idea that much of the intemperance which
is ILnuInS us way lnlQ the cOIl6SeS lays at
the doors of the fraternities-the fraternity
banquets and the alleged 'good-fellowship. E"
The State University is to be the first point
of attack, and it is to be given a thorough
cleaning if it is possible. An effort will be
made to restore the good well water of
Bloomington to the banquet table, if, in
fact, it has ever been displaced by wine.
There are some saloons that are within
easy reach of the college and it is claimed
that some of the boys have a habit of en-
ticing the new and unsophisticated youth
from the country to these resorts during
their happy "spiking'' season Many other
rumors have reached the ears of the moth
ers. Petitions-printed formS-are to be dis
tributed to every union in the State. These
petitions will be addressed to the presidents
of certain Indiana colleges-the State Uni
versity president f1rst-and are to pray
that he will see that the great evil be re-
moved from the collegiate path. Purdue
will probably come second, as rumors of
scenes at Wise's Theater and other places
in Lafayette have reached the ever vigil
liant mothers ears.
March 20 was set aside as Willard me-
mortal day for all Indiana unions to OBJ
serve.
