come really great by war. True great
ness does not lie in the extent of terri
tory nor in the strength of battalions,
but in the character Of the people.
From personal observation am inclin-
ed to the belief that the American peo-
pie possess the elements of national
greatness in high degree. The test
of loftlness in character Is to possess
boundless power without abusing it.
Wealth Is power Where can you find
such vast accumulations of wealth in
private hands as in America with so
little attendant evil felt by society? /
have seen countries where the rich OPP
press the poor and the poor curse the
rich.
There "money is the root Of all evil"
The reverse seems to be the case in
America. The rich use the ample
means at their disposal for the benefit
of the people, and the people have good
reason to bless the rich. In other words,
American men of wealth are public BEN
efactors. / have not far to go for an
example. In your midst, you have sig
nal instance of this class of philan-
thropic men of wealth. This institution
is an enduring monument to the foun-
der's munifcence. Here one can find
the effective means for the enlighten-
ment of the mind and the uplifting of
the soul. Books, paintin, sculpture and
specimens of objects possessing educa-
tional value are accessible to all per-
ons at all times. The day will soon
come when foreigners will visit this city
not so much to see the great industrial
establishments as to see this institution
which sheds it's refining influence far
and wide.
The report of Secretary Church fol-
lowed. 1t showed that the library and
it's branches now contain 10000 vol
umes There was issued for home use
during the year 900 volumes, an in
crease of 900 over the previous year
The report speaks in glowing terms of
the success of the art gallery, of the
organ recitals by Frederick Archer, and
Of the Pittsburg orchestra, under the
direction of Victor Herbert. Mr.. Frew
read a very brief letter from Andrew
Carnegie. In it he said 1t was most
appropriate to invite the Chinese min
lister to speak, and added that the
American people do not appreciate the
Chinese as they should. The award Of
prizes in the international art exhibit |
ion then followed. Andre Duchese,
Paris, France, won the medal of the
first class (gold) carrying with it an
award of 1900 for his picture entitled
"The Kelp Gatherers.''

WoMAN's ODD MONUMENT.
Great -CoffectAon@ of Crockery and
Glassware Marks Her Tomb
Near Atlanta, Ga.

Probably the most unique tom bstone
to use the word tombstone figur-
atively-in the state is one not more
than three miles from the center of
Atlanta. Ca, in the rural cemetery in
Battle Hill. 1t is that of Mrs. V. E..
Bartlett, and was erected by her hus-
band, confederate veteran. The Bart
let's lived. hermits' lives and had no
children. When his wife died five years
ago. Bartlett appeared to be crazed.
For long time he buried himself in
the forests. Finally he began the cree
ton of tombstone over his wife's
grave, adding to it from time to time
until at present the following articles
compose the pile.
s Eight porcelain bowls, twelve china
pitchers. ten glass pitchers, one wheel
from toy wagon, one grindstone. six
oyster shells, three quart bottles, eight
pint bottles, six berry bowls, one mir
TOR, three salt cellars, one pepper box,
twelve china plates, cups and saucers a
finger bowl and innumerable bits of
colored glass.
: The odd man, in spite of the fact that
he has remarked, spends every moon
light night on cot over the grave.

on their way to the Paris exposition.
The doctors speciality is filing teeth
with diamonds, and Miss Dmrance ex-
hibited one in each hicuspid of her
upper jaw by the way of illustration.
Even the farmers out in Peoria
have taken to having diamonds put
into their teeth" said Dr. Kelly.
''They come around and say that they
are feeling poorly but when + put
in few diamonds they feel better.
John Hergot, the millionaire distiller,
the only man who ever successfully
fought the whisky trust, has IS dia-

THOUGHT SHE WAS IN HEAVEN
Little Girl Spends Five Days In q
Trance and Sees Queer
Visions.

A remarkable case of trance or sus-
pended ANNA tion occurred in Milford,
Conn. Sophie, the 11-year-old daugh-
ter of Mark Fowler of Broad street. lay
in an unconscious state from Sun day
evening to Friday forenoon, taking no
nouFishment whatever
On Monday morning, when the fam
lily assembled at breakfast, Sophie did
not appear, and one Of the younger
children was sent to call her. In a
moment the little one came running to
the head of the stairs. Mamma she
called, "Sophie's dead" The mother
rushed to the room of the child. They
found Sophie lying in an unconscious
state upon, her bed DR.. A. l. Tuttle
was called, and upon his arrival he used
every know method of restoring So
phie, but without success: He said,
however, that she was not dead but in
a comatose condition.
On Friday morning the condition OF
the girl was seen to be changing. She
was breathing and showing signs of
life. Along toward noon she opened
her eyes. Nourishment was brought
and soon she was able to talk She re-
lated wonderful tales of strange visions
that had come to her during the trance.
Her ears had been filled with strains of
music and her eyes dazzled by the beau
tiful sights she saw. "Oh. mamma -
said the little girl. as she was telling
what she had seen, II must have been
in Heaven" -
DR.. futile was at the bedside by the
time Sophie had thoroughly awakened,
and he, examined her to find that she
was in a normal condition. Her heart
beat was full and regular, and, while
she showed slight exhaustion, that
was all. She improved rapidly, and
soon was up and around the house as
bright and clipper as ever.

GERMANY'S PREDICAMENT.
Unable to Get Enough Canned Meat
Situation VIII Be Worse When
Exclusion ACT Is in Force.

Packing interests of Chicago and the
west will be interested in knowing that
Germany is experiencing great difficult
ty in securing an ample supply Of
canned meats before the proposed ex-
clusion goes into effect, and the indi-
cations are that there will be much
greater difficulty in supplying this de-
mand when that obnoxious law be-
comes opera tive 1t is we'll known that
the German government is opposed to
the exclusion of meats of this kind, as
well as those of other descriptions,
but it was compelled to enacterestrict-
i've measures to satisfy, the demands
of the agrarians.
According to Consul Pitcairn, the
American consul at Ham burg, the naval
authorities at Kiei are compelled to
buy canned meats whose import is to
be excluded On account of alleged i'm
Purities dangerous to the lives of con-
sumers at a high price from foreign
countries because of the inability of
Germany to supply home demands. In
consequence of this exclusion the pro-
visioning of troops for China has been
greatly interfered with.
The commissary department at Kiel
has Identifying in vain to buy boiled
and corned beef for supplying the avy,
because all the stock that remained of
canned meats has already been subject
to the levy of a duty, and it will there
fore be necessary for it to turn to Eng
fish and other foreign markets in Or
der to obtain necessary quantities.

No warshfps of such lighting power

The board has given these ships
$4,000 toms displacement, 90 knots

of 1000 toms, Eteamin4 radius Of 1000
miles They will be the only ships IN
the navy literally armnred all over,
their protection extending from below

will mark a notable departure from ex-
listing cruisers and battleships of their
class, in that they Will stand much
higher out of tia water, giving bether

Among the novelties, the tower decks
will be covered with hnoleum, all wood

CITY OF TIL b FUTURE
Electricity Will Make It Noiseless
and Clean. ..s


In discussing the naiseless electrical
city Charles w. Price, editor Of the
{ Electrical Review, says:
Tin the IDEAL city distracting noises
will be unknown and dirt and ali an
& clean things will be kept without IT'S
pabe. Eleetricity is the ma 1aian that
can n al aasuredly will work the
change &. s3
This admirable day may not be SO
. far away. We move rapidly now.
q Twenty-Five years ago there was no
telephone, the electric light existed
only IN the hborat cries of few expert
mentors, and the eleetric motor, In the
form Of an ingenious toy, was looked
upon as an ingenious little machine of
no practical utility, The car horse
5ingled his bells on our streets; the
|selectromobie was still only dream,
and the cab horse and draft horse mon
arch OF our roadways. e.. # e
Electric power stations and electric
light sta tions are being located far
Their and farther away from the city's
heart the horse car, the steam loco
motive, the, engine in the. basement, the
coal stove, are one and all being re-
placed by the quiet, Cd orless and effect
i've electric motor, by the electric loco
motive, and surely but slowly by the
electric heater @~s -" s.szs
The citizen of New York may to-day
have his Office cooled by his. electric fan,
lighted by his incandescent electric
light, and heated, it maybe, BY cleo
tr1clty; and his electric telephone
gives him communication with the
country at large, and the same wire
may carry his telegraph message ST
smultane ously without interferencewith
the spoken word, so sdllfully has the
magic art of the telephonist prevailed.
ELECTRICITY will soon supplant the
steam locomotive on the elevated roads
Of this city, and it is believed will soon
replace all steam locomotives now en-
tering Greater New York. The tunnel
now being constructed under Greater
New York will owe it's success in carry
ing passengers rapidly and comfort
ably chiefly to that mighty tahsman n,
the electric current.
''The rubber-tired electromobile is
rapidly replacing the driven horse, and
will replace him not only for driving
but for heavy hafsling purposes,
'.Ihe awful and constant volume of
sound of his unnumbered thousands of
1ron-shod feet hammeriag resembling
pavements will disappear forever, and
with it 80 per cent. of the filth and dor
Of the street. With the passage of the
horse will go also the stone pave
ments." -, e

Furniture of Match Boxes,

Perhaps the oldest suite Of furni t11re
in the world is owned by a hotel-4eeeper
in Buda Pesth. For many years he has
made it his business to collect match
boxes, of which he has now a collection
Of 4,0W. He ordered skilled cabinet
maker to equip a room with furniture
made Of these boxes. The outfit con-
sists of a writing table with smoking
apparatus, a fire screen, a cabinet, a
chair and other smaller articles.
Though the boxes are empty they are
adjusted so ingeniously that the pieces
are fully as strong as the ordinary
furniture. 81
