CORNELIUS VANDERBILT THE FIFTH.

white dresses, ten hats and thirty sets
of underclothes. He is always as clean
AS newly minted silver half-dime, and
his little eyes are brighter than any
metal that was dug out of the earth.
When he goes out every fair morning
in all seasons for his ride in his little
white push buggy he wears white
Tam O. Shanter hat with four white
flaring ostrich tips on the side, tied
with great white bows Of ribbon, a big
ruffle of lace over his head and white
cloak that cost his papa 5000 net. Cor
nelius V. at all times wears string Of
pearls about his pink neck. For his
best dress, which consists Of a miracle
of lace and silk construction, there was
paid the sum Of $175. This marvel of
baby is big expense. His wardrobe
is estimated at value of $4,000. His
sixty costumes cost from $50 to $75
each. His shoes are such as one might
imagine to have been worn by an orien-
tai prince. and his chariot in which he
is perambuiated daily cost 500. He is
the infant king of 9TH avenue.

The kaiser, while making his pious
and picturesque pilgrimage to the holy
land, found time and inclination to act
as agent for the Krupp Gun Works,
and his persuasive powers were suffi-
cient to secure a good big order for
cannon from the sultan. This stroke
Of business, while admirable from some
points of view, seems open to criticism
from others, or, at any rate, it suggests
dubious questionings as to the stand
ards of conduct whichconsecratedp per-
sons are obliged to maintain.

An English poet-more or less minor
celebrated some time ago the indu-
bitable fact that though we can live
without conscience and live without
heart, we cannot live without cooks.
The doctors that have shown us the
way to live without stomachs, however,
seem to have come very near to render
ing Owen Meredith's couplets more
than archaic.

A peculiar condition of affairs is dis
closed by the annual report of the New
York State Board Of Charities, where
in 1t is stated that the inmates and
other beneficiaries Of the institutions
and associations of the State number
more than 100000 in the aggregate,
and that the expense of their mainte-
nance amounts to nearly $22,00O,OOO a
year. Two and half millions of peo-
pie, in a population of little over
100000, receiving charity is circum-
stance that may well create surprise in
the foremost State in the Union.

young days when we don't feel like
study" We dawdle over the book with
our thoughts half asleep, and as re-
suit give a fine exhibition of stupidity
in the recita tion-room. This sort of in
diligence in youth is very dangerous,
and it becomes a habit, and the mind
grows rusty and dull in the very prime
of life, when it should be at its best.
On the heels of this form of laZiness
comes another bad habit-that Of in
tellectual loafing. What loafing is IN
the common sense we all know; it is
hanging about with no definite aim or
purpose, idling away the time without
profit. Well, there is mental loafing as
well, and it is known in the dictionary
as "reverie." 1t is a dreamy state OF
the mind, when the thoughts go wool
gathering. This habit so common to
young people is fatal to mental growth;
many a promising youth is ruined by
overindulgence in it. 1t wastes time
and enfeebles the mental powers. 1t Is
really form Of laziness, and it should
be sternly corrected on the outset. The
action of the mind should be kept under
control. When the thoughts begin to
wander it is time to whip them into
order. A resolute will will do it.

It required no table of statistics from
the Treasury Department to prove that
the year 1898 was ''the farmers year."
But the extent to which American
farms have furnished food for the
world can only be adequately appre-
ciated by reference to the comprehens-
i've tables compiled by the statistical
experts of the Treasury. These tables
disclose the fact that the farm products
exported from the United States last
wear were valued at the enormous sum
of $S5O,OOO,O0O, which is a gain of
$120,O0O,OOO over the exports of 1897,
and surprising by over $1OO,OOO,OOO
that of the great export years of 1891
and 1892 Of breadstuffs alone the ex-
ports of the year were $65,OOO,OOO
greater than those Of 1897, while the
exports of cotton were also consider
ably in excess Of those of 1897 and
1895. That the Europeans are begin
ming to appreciate the nutritive value
of our corn is also indicated by the fact
that for the first time in our history the
exports passed the 2O0,O00,OOO bushel
mark. Although we purchased nearly
one-third less of Great Britain in 1898
than we did in 1897, our sales of agri-
cultural products to the United King
dom during the last year aggregated
$500, 100000, which was an increase of
more than $5O,OOO,OOO over 1897. Fifty
per cent. of our total exports of wheat
and -four went to the United Kingdom
Next In Importance as a foreign GUS
toner is Germany, which, in spite of al
legged determinations against our prod
ucts, doubled her purchases of wheat
and flour as compared with 1897 and
increased her purchases of corn 20 per
cent. To show that she had no preju-
dice against the American hog she also
increased her purchases of our hams
100 per cent. and bought five times as
much of our fresh pork as she did in
1897 or 1896.

THE INTELLIGENCER,
WHEELING, APRIL 90. 1890.
The End in Sight.

There Is little doubt that the end of
the Filipino rebellion against the au-
thority OF the United States government
is but a question Of 4 few days. Aguin-
aldo's initiative step looking to q cessa-
ton OF hostilities. details of which APP
pear in this mornings dispatches, has
brought matters to a condition which
warrants the most sanguinc predictions.
The campaign which has been made
by the American forces In the past
week has brought this result sooner
than was expected and the news Of the
peace overtures by the Filipino COM
mander through his chief Of staff has
been received at Washington and by
the foreign diplomats there, as well as
by the country at large, with no small
degree Of pleasure and confidence in
the ultimate outcome OF the negotia-
lions.
The only hitch between General Otis
and the ENJOYS from the insurgent
chief seems to be on the poin. of recog-
mixing the so-called Filipino Congress,
but another conference to be held to-
day may clear up all differences and a
step be taken toward a final agreement.
1t is expected at Washington that the
American commission at Manila will
not make the terms of surrender too Sc
we're to prevent such an agreement,
while Otis is expected to make sure
that the Filipinos are acting in good
faith and not playing for delay.
Among army and navy officials, how
ever, the impression seems to prevail
that Asuinaldo is In earnest In his de-
sire to cease the struggle against the
Americans, realizing the. hopelessness
OF his cause. 1t is evident. from all cir
cumstances, that his proposition to
await the submission Of peace terms to
the Filipino Congress is to save himself
humiliation by shifting the RESPONSE
bility on the shoulders of that body.
The commissioners Of the United
States are endowed with more or less
plenary power to negotiate peace. and
the outcome Of to-day conference will
be looked forward to with,no small in
terest,on two continents. In the mean
time. allthonor to the American heroes
