MONTE CRISTO" NOWHERE.
He Is Far outdone by Many Million
aires of the Present.

The increase of wealth has been pro
digious since the time of our civil war; es-
pecially in America. When | was a boy
ony one who had 100000 to his name was
considered fairly rich, but at present peo-
pie think little of trille like that Even
in Europe, where fortunes are gained much
less rapidly than with us, property
must now be many times larger than in
the first half OF the century before it be-
gins to dazzle society. l suppose some Of
you have read Monte Cristo," and you
know that few things were too eXtrava-
CANT for the Imagination of Alexander
Dumas. He meant that his romantic hero
should lead the whole world III magnifi-
cence, and probably thought of giving him
the biggest bank account ever heard of
But Monte Cr.isto was worth only a frac-
ton of what several real men now living
can show This was not the sort of mis-
take you would have expected from Du
mas. 1t would have cost him only a
stroke of the pen to multiply the hoard
in the Mediterranean island hundred
times; but, although his novel was writ
ten when he was 40 years old, he could
not foresee that his fiction would be utter
ly distanced by solid facts before he died.

Poor Dave, not n great chance. Even
after they had started on that long sec

LATE NEWS FROM MANILA.
A Story Told by II Nurse, Who Has Just
Returned Government Allows sixty
Cents Day for Each Patient VIII
Have Bank in Honolulu.

Honolulu, via San Francisco, Dec. 10
The United states transport Scandal
which arrived from Manila, which place
she left November Is, brings number
of officers, 81 discharged and furloughed
men and two Red Cross nurses. She
brings the largest mail that ever left Ma
Mia, 2l3 sacks for San Francisco and one
for Honolulu. The vessel will resume her
voyage on or about the 10th inst.
Miss Shaefer's Statement.
Miss Shaefer, the Red Cross nurse, who
went from Honolulu to Manila, arriving
there September 26, returned on the Sean
dia. She makes startling charges as TO
the way United States soldiers are taken
care of in Manila. Miss Schaefer made
the following statement for publication:
Scores of the soldier boys are dying
in the hospitals in Manila just for want OF
proper nourishment. They say the gov
eminent allows 60 cents a day for each
patient | could have saved dozens Of
lives on cents Il day. Oh, the utter woe
of the hospitals, the helple5sness Of them
Men as bright and noble as God ever
made given up to death, hoping for it..
seeking for it, taking poison doing any
thing that will relieve the despair that
comes upon them. Seeing nothing before
them but days of pain and nights Of
wretchedness without proper care, with
out proper food, alone, with no one to
give them sympathy or cheer, to write
to friends, to soothe aching broWs on
moisten parched lips. If by sheer endu-
ance of nature, of obstinacy OF vitality,
they do get better, there is nothing before
them but the still more cherries period
of convalescence with the probability Of
relapse and the old WEAKNESS OF despair
to be suffered again. No wonder there
are six or seven funerals a day. No won
der the dead house is never empty.
81 do not mean that all in the hospl-
tails are careless or indifferent. Men are
irving to do their best. There is a lot OF
worthiness and unseltishness among at
tendants at hospitals.
I'm whole ward there is no more than
one nurse with experience, and Tor help
ers, only one or two awkward boys VINO
perhaps never saw sick room before.

SITUATION UNCHANGED.

There was no change yesterday, In
the strike situation at the Wheeling
pottery. The clay hands the branch OF
the trade on strike, will meet this af-
tsrnoon, but nothing definite can be
outlined until President Frnnzheln. who
Is out OF the city, returns. The men are
more hopeful than ever, that their'dlf-
ferences With the management will be
settled satisfactorily upon President
Franzhelm's return. The ridiculous
story in an evening paper about the
one-fourth of one per cent difference in
the scale being the bone of contention.
Is too absurd for Erefutation. The real
differences have been previously noted
In the other local papers.

COUNCILMAN sCIlllDT'S.
FROM THE HOUSE.

The third bold theft OF the week oc.
CURED last nigh. about 40 O'Clock. The
home OF Mr.. Charles Schmidt assistant
superintendent OF the Reymann Brew
ing Company. who lives at lst Six
teenth street, was visited by thieves,
and they were well repaid for their
trouble.
The only inmate Of the house at the
time was a domestic. and her sasplcions
were aroused when she came down
stairs to answer a ring at the door.
She noticed that the hall lights had
been extingulshed and there was a
general appearance OF disorder In the
front room on the second floor. Inyesti-
cation disclosed the fact that thieves
had taken advantage OF the family's
absence, and succeeded In getting
away with some cash and jewelrv, con-
tents Of bureau drawers, for which they
found the keys quite easily.
The police were Immediately notified

and It IS likely they went up the back

tangible clue. but are OF the opinion
that the thieves were very familiar with
the surroundings. Mr.. and Mrs. Schmidt
last night couldn't estimate the extent
of their loss. as It is thought that other
articles were taken besides those mem
