Rise of Henry &. Frick.

Thirty years ago Henry c. Frick was
a poor bookkeeper in a flour mill in
Fayette county, Pennsylvania. He
made his start in business by the pur-
chase of a small interest in coal mine
near his home. The business grew
steadily. In 1873, at the time of the
panic, he was only "a years old. The
panic enabled him to acquire the whole
plant, and then he began to spread He
bought everything he could reach in the
way of coal land, and when the reac-
ton came he found himself enormously
wealthy. At forty he was master of the
coal trade. In 1878 he took in a partner,
e. M. Ferguson Of this city, and in 1882
the Prick Coke company was organized.
Andrew Carnegie then became associ-
ated with Mr.. Prick in the coal and
coke business, and for many years the
two worked together Mr.. Prick is only
five feet four inches tall, blonde and
slight. He is affable and generous and
has great capacity for work and organ

\ Typical Cuban Village

The Midway at the Greater America
Exposition at Omaha July l to Nov. l,
will afford information as we'll as amuse-
ment, and perhaps no more attractive
feature will be found upon the grounds
than the native villages of Cuba, the
Hawaiian and Philippine islands. Of
these the last two are incomplete, the
exhibits and natives having been delay
ed on their ocean voyage. The village of
native Cubans and Porto Ricans is,
however in order and presents many cur
ious sights to the visitor. A number of
families have built almost exact repro
auctions of their native habitations and
are living their home life employed in
their customary way and surrounded by
their usual implements of art, manufac-
ture and agriculture. Many curious ex-
hibits have been brought from the is
lands, to prove the sensation of the
Midway. Aside from these special feat
ures there is an opportunity here pre-
sented to meet and converse with intelli-
gent native Cubans and to learn much
of their home life and the opportunities
and possibilities which await Americans
in the rich island, that "Gem of the
Antilles whose civilization dates back
400 years and whose history has been
one long story of wrong and oppression.

DIR. j. A. JACKSON is unquestionaly
correct in defining the kissing bug as a
humbug. The state economic zoologist
of Pennsylvania deems it a fake pure
and simple so far, at least, as its reported
Osculatory achievements are concerned.
He says: Il have known that bug for
fifteen years. 1t was only recently
that [ heard of its alighting on the lips
of persons, especially at night. The
story that the bug cuts such capers is a
fake, as it lives entirely off plants juices,
[ cannot say that the bug would not
bite person, but the stories that are
being printed about it's attacking per-
sons while they sleep, do not believe
true" At Madison, it is true, a man
died recently with a face horribly swol-
len from blood poisoning, but no kissing
bug was the cause of the trouble, unless
a common measly mosquito, with man
dibies poisoned by feeding on carrion,
may be regarded as the dreaded insect.
We have OSculatory crabs, kissing snakes,
amatory worms and love-lorn spiders, if
one is to regard every bite, pinch or
scratch he may receive from animal life
as evidence of the fact Why. just the
other day, was not a lad running on the
sand after a swim afectionately stung
by some lackadaisical creature with
which his bare foot came in contact?
That it was not moping nudturtle he
is sure. Some gullible folk would GER
tainly class it as kissing bug but for it's
peculiar pedal proclivity as displayed in
this case

THE New Richmond relief committee
has divided the tornado victims into
three classes to be known as No l, g 3.
The first class is composed of those who
are supposed to have lost everything;
the second class those who are badly
crippled, and the third class those bust
ness men who have lost so heavily as to
make it the part of wisdom to help as a
general benefit to the community as a
whole The first class is to be helped
first and the committee estimates that
$4,000 will be required for this class
alone.

ANOTHER indication that the country
is too prosperous is the number of strikes
and labor troubles we read about these

enough to get any kind of job those
years. Is it possible that history is
bound to repeat itself?

YOUNG GAINS A POINT
Decision Excluding Big Part Of
Wise's Evidence.
It wns Taken Aner tho Forty Days
Allowed by Tho Statute For the
Taking OF Dispositions by Contests
nhts md COmtcstecs.

The evidence in the Young-Wise con-
US was told in the Associated Press
dispatches III this paper yesterday, and
1t is now in the Government printers
hands, TO be prepared for presentation
to the Congressman at the next session.
The evidence was opened by Major a.
Mcdowell, clerk of the House of Rep
resentatives, whose duty it is to send
ali such matters rs this to the printer.
Nlr. John S. Wise. the contestants
brother, was present to act as counsel
FOR DIR. Wise, and Congressman Young
represented himself, as his counsel,
Judge ID. Tucker Brooke was detained
by court business at Suffolk DR. Wise
WAS also present.
1t comes within Clerk NIcDowelrs
province TO pass upon the technical
points raised III regard to the admission
of evidence in contest cases, and MIR.
Young gained an important point in
having Il large part of the contestants
evidence excluded from the record. This
evidence was that taken by the CON
testants counsel after the forty days
allowed by statute in which TO take
evidence had expired.
The contcstee and the contestant are
allowed forty days In which to take
evidence and ten days additional to
take evidence i'm rehuttal.
1t Will be remembered that the con-
testant consumed the forty days and
then served notice OF the contcstec that
he would continue twenty days longer
TO accumulate evidence. Congressman
Young replied to this notice protesting
against further proceedings IN the case.
but further than this protest he ignored
the matter.
Friday. when the evidence was open
ed, Congressman Young argued before
Clerk Mcdowell that this evidence ia
ken after the forty days had expired,
was inadmissablc. ana asked that it
he excluded. Mr.. Wise was also heard
III the meter, and the clerk decided
against the admission of this evidence
This Will have an important beariny on
the case, ms some of the contestant $
strongest evidence was in that left out.
Congressman Young also moved to
have evidence taken in rebuttal by the
contestant stricken out on the ground
that II was not rebuttal In it's nature.
but the clerk decided that 1t did not
come within his province to exclude
matter on this ground but was rather
question for the House of Represen-
tatiVeS to decide.

ton yesterday morning.
