CURRENT EVENTS.

There Is more wealth in the United States
than in any other country in the world.
This fact would be discreditable rather
than honorable if the men Of wealth In the
United States, or great proportion of them,
did not use their money for noble purposes.
In no nation is so much given 10 charitable
and educational institutions. This record
for the past six years will astonish most of
our readers. Here it is:
Middletown transcript., 1899-08-05

IhlS year the spirit OF giving has been
strong in our men and women who are
blessed with an abundance of this worlds
goods, and by the end of the year we shall

has been devoted to charity and education

RICHEST AMERICAN CLERGYMAN
Al 20 Rev Engene Angnstns Hoffman,
D. D., multi-millionaire and richest clergy
man in America, if not in the world, is
busy, shrewd, clever man.
As dean of the Union Theological Semi
nary in New York, he is at the head of the
chief divinity school of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, and in the twenty years
he has filled this post he has exercised
tremendous formative influenced upon the
Episcopal clergy of the country.
Dean Hoffman,, is sixth in descent from
Martinus Hoffman,, who came to Amer
f64i6, and SUI Of the late 5a HIuef YER
plank Hoffman,. The family has been a
factor in the social, commercial and polit-
ical life of New York city for two and a
halfcenturies. Conservative capitalists es-
innate the present value of the Hoffman,
estate at from $15,o0O,0O0 to $4,000, 900,
but no one not even the dean himself, can
appraise it with certain accuracy. 1t was
founded before the Republic was born. and
under the never-faulty Hoffman, manage
ment has been growing year by year and
decade by decade, almost without intermis-
sion, eyer since. 1t now takes in row on
row of downtown structures and blcck
after block uptown. The Hoffman house
Itself is worth more than 100000.

cause the heart is Over-working to
pump the thick, kidney-poisoned
blood through the veins and arteries.
Soreness or uncomfortable feeling
in the back indicates kidney trouble

The passing of scanty or prOfuse
quantities of urine is warning of
kidney trouble. If you want to feel
well you can make no mistake by
first doctoring your kidneys.
