EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF
JAMES EADs HOW.
Declines to Accept an Immense Inheri-
tancs-Hs Prefers to 1.-Two monk the
Poor and Lowly-Endsayo rs to Follow

James Eads How, Of St. Louis, has
laid claim to unique and extended no.
toriety by giving up his Inheritance of
100000 in order that he may obey
the command Of Jesus and follow his
example of living among the lowly.
This is perhaps the most remarkable
example in America of the practical
application of the doctrine of the Sa-
vior. Other rich men sit in their
cushioned pews of Sundays and listen
to high-salaried ministers explain how
Christ did not mean just what He said
when He advised the wealthy young
man to give his all to the poor. James
Eads How isn't that kind of a Chris
tan. He holds that Jesus either
meant what He said or He did not
II the Savior was in earnest there is
only one road open to the rich man.
II He was not In earnest then the
words are mere empty sounds. In
fact. says Mr.. How, no ingenuity,
however stimulated by desire to
blind ones eyes to the truth for the
sake of gold, can extract from the
verses in Mark any meaning but the
one meaning which was clearly in the
mind Of the Redeemer.
Mr.. How is the grandson of James
b. Eads. who built the great Mississ-
ippi bridge that bears his name, and
the jetties near New Orleans, which
opened the big river to the deep bot
toms Of the worlds commerce. His
father was the late ]. F. How, the

is the greatest number of men
ever found guilty In this state

probably the largest in the United

extreme penalty of the law they will
constitute the greatest number ever

lion with which. to repay the sum that
his friend Horace L. Porter lost in
speculation on his advice in San Fran
cisco two years ago. Porter is
dead, but he left pretty sister,
Miss Alva Porter, to whom Ma
son has been engaged for five
years. He says he doesn't wish to
marry the girl SO long as the debt of
honor is unpaid, but at the same time
he feels that it is unfair to keep girl
of her age tied up with a matrimonial
contract the fulfillment of which is UNI
certain. So Mason has set to himself
the task of securing the money within
the next six months. Arthur Mason
is the son of Elias Mason, the head Of
large shipping business on the great
lakes. The elder Mason would gladly
have his son join him in business, but
the young man has determined that,
alone and unaided, he will make his
own fortune Mason's ambition and
romance are the result of five years
career as interesting as any young
man had after leaving college. While

youth of rather retiring disposition.
Porter was Of the sort that is suscep-
tible to man of strong personality,
SO strong attraction sprang up be-
tween the young men. which strength
ened as time wore on.
Shortly after leaving college Mason
came to Chicago and began to specu-
late. Like many another man who has
tried the same game, he lost, and lost
again and again. His father refused
to give him an additional allowance
At the very time of Mason's finan-
cial distress he received an invitation
from his former. college chum, Horace
L. Porter, to visit him at his home in
Nevada. The invitation came as
piece of good fortune to Mason, who
jumped at this temporary abatement
of his troubles. 1t was there that
Mason met Alva Porter and won her
heart and the promise of her hand.
Too poor to marry. Mason went to San
Francisco and began operating in
stocks, and was soon joined by his
friend Horace Porter, who brought
plenty of cash to do business with. AS
an evidence of his sincerity in his
friendship, Porter suggested to his
friend that they go into some business
together. Porter had the capital, and
he was sure Mason had the brains.
The offer was accepted and under Ma
sons guidance Porter began speculat-
ing on the stock exchange.

did not earn It." One day not long
ago he walked into the office of Mayor
Ziegenheim and rendered that official
100000 which he wished should be
given to the poor. Mr.. Ziegenheim
nearly fell off his chair. He ques-
toned Mr.. How and found that his
visitor meant business. The upshot
of the Interview was that Mr.. How was
escorted to DR.. Starkloff. the health
commissioner, with the request that
he examine the millionaire for his san
ity. DR.. Starkloff pronounced the man
perfectly sane. Then Mr.. How renewed
his offer. But the mayor couldn't get
over his fright and wouldn't touch the
money. Mr.. How came to the con-
clusion that the influence of Christ's
words was pretty dead In st. Louis.
He had forgotten that he was the only
man in town who takes the New Tesla
ment seriously. Baked at the very
threshold of his noble purpose by an
economic and sord:d age, Mr.. How de-
termined to live up to the second part
Of the Savior's injunction. He would
take up his cross and follow Christ.
He went to live among the poorest
people he could find, to teach them, to
minister to them, to lead them toward
the light which he himself saw or
fancied he saw. He founded mission
at Washington avenue and Ninth
street and here expounded the gospels
after his own fashion. His dress is
that of the lowliest, his fare as simple
as that Of the apostles and his life is
ordered in every way to help on his
hope of regenerating mankind.
This modern apostle went east not
long ago to attend meeting OF the
Brotherhood OF UAlly Life, an associa-
ton which he himself founded. He
visited an old friend who was coll
lege chum Of his at Harvard The
chum sat down with Mr.. How to fine
breakfast But the rich young man de-
clined to eat the sumptuous fare. In,
stead he walked to the Medical Mis-
sion in Brooklyn and paid three cents
for breakfast Of pea soup, bread and
coffee. A visiting minister approached
him and asked him what kind Of
Christian work he was doing.
Trying the best can to get away
from the Christ and the church that

The queerest and most interesting
story that ever came out of the mael-
strom Of speculation is that of Arthur
Mason. a Chicago plunger, who is try
ing to make fortune Of $780, 700 In
order to cancel debt of honor and
marry the girl Of his choice. He went
out several months ago to gather in
this sum from the New York stock
exchange. Sometimes luck was with
him and he succeeded in accommodating
as much as $150,00O: at other times
fortune was unfavorable and he lost
the bulk of his winnings. He is up
and down by turns-one week clear
ing from $4,000 to $4,000, and the
next down, practically on his uppers.
But he is never discouraged, and be-
lieves he will win in the end.

why starohed Clothe. Are Unhea,.h,u,

Why starohed Clothes Are Unhealthful.
Hygienists have been making
starched clothing the subject Of their
Investigations and have established the
fact that starched garments act as a
barrier to the escape of heat from the
body. One, therefore. would suppose
that these starched garments, which,
as everybody knows. heat us so un-
comfortably in summer, would at least
have the advantage of keeping the
body warm in winter, on account of
being a non-conductor Of heat. This,
however, is not the case, for the value
of starched pieces as non-conductors
increases with the increase of outer
temperature, and correspondingly de-
creases with the drop of the thermom-
eter. This means, therefore, that in
winter. when we try our utmost to
keep the body warm and prevent as
much as possible of the escape Of AMI
NAL heat, the starchy raiment Is re-
duced to minimum as protector on
account Of the outer cold, and in sum-
mer, when we wish to keep cool, these
same garments are effectual in hold
ing back the heat Of the body. 1t Is
also to be noticed that when perspira-
ton runs the starch. 1t not only clogs
up the pores OF the linen. but also
those of the body. and in that way
adds to the difficulty OF entrance OF
cool air to the body. It is seen, there
fore, that the starching of the washing
Is not only impractical, but also in
imical to health, and perhaps when
this fact is recognized universally dame
fashion may condemn the practice.
