The following is the example and
answer to the problem in arithmetic
recently published in these columns.
The example is given: "a Is indebt-
ed to B IS. B to C, C to D, D. TO z,
e to T, same amount. A, B, c, d
and e each have 81 and no more, and
consequently they cannot pay their
debt. They put their money all to-
gether. A takes the IS goes 10 3,
pays his debt and gets his receipt. B
does the same TO C, c TO D, D to e
and z TO T. A, B, C, D and E are
out of debt, and T has his money.
Who. if any, is the loser?" Many
have cudgeled their brain in figuring
the affair and to avoid further trouble
we append the answer: "A pays IS
liability in the transaction and gets a
receipt, whereas his assets are only
81. B, C, D and e also get receipts
for their Indebtedness of SIS, but are
out the 81 which they each advance
A, consequently A is 81 gamer. and
b. G, D and E lose 81 each in the
transaction. T comes out even simp-
ly collecting the amount due him"

takes great many figures to express.
But now, having made his pile, he is
anxious TO show his admirers, and the
public generally that he is capable OF a
higher class of work than he has here
tofore been identified with, and to prove
ii he has written chattanooga. While
the new piece does not depart entirely
from old methods, in that elaborate and
brilliant stage and scenic effects are
made q leading feature, there Is no
cheap sensationalsm, but an interest
