GOEBEL HAS PASSED AWAY
DIED LAST SATURDAY NIGHT.
sassin stiu Unknown-TnyIor En-
joined-TroubIe Expected.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 5.-The bullet fired
morning ended the life OF William Goebel
at 6:45 o'clock Saturday evening.
The only persons present at the death
bed were Mr.. Goebel's sister, Mrs. Draw
hacker, and his brother, Arthur Goebel
of Cincinnati, who have been in constant
attendance at Mr.. Goebel's bedside, and
DIR. Mccormack Justus Goebel, another
brother, who has been hurrying from Arr
IONA as fast as steam would carry him,
in vain hope of reaching his dying
brother in time for some token vi recogni-
ton, arrived 40 minutes too late. Oxygen
was frequently administered to the dying
man in the afternoon, in an effort to keep
him alive until his brothers arrival, but
in vain. For, by the cruel irony of fate,
the train on which Justus Goebel was
travelling to Frankfort, was delayed sew
eral hours from various causes, and when
Mr.. Goebel finally reached here it was
only to learn that his brother was dead.
Among bitter partisans of both parties
deep grief is manifested, and already d
movement has been started to erect a
fitting monument for MIR. Goebel's mem
DRY ON the spot in the stat house grounds
where he was shot.
1t is understood that request will be
made on behalf of the citizens of Frank
fort that MIR. Goebel's last resting place
be in the cemetery here, where lie buried
Daniel Boone and Vice President Andrew
johnson.
From an early hour until the hour of
his death, Mr.. Goebels condition grew
steadily worse. Shortly before noon, after
hypodermic injections of strychnine and
whisky and afterward OF morphine, Mr.
Goebel requested that Captain l.. G. Wal
lace of the Kentucky penitentiary, an in
innate friend, be sent for, and when the
latter came the two had a short CONVEX
sltion.

every one is interested, for it is one in
regard to which there are a variety of
opinions. At the present time this pop
ulation has been variously estimated
at from "a 600, 600 to 100, 600, 600, but the
most reliable prophets believe that it
will fall at least 100000 if not 15,000,-
900 short of that mark.
There were So, 622, $50 persons in the
country ten years ago, according to the
last census. Secretary Cages actuary
OF the Treasury, who is a close guess
er in matters of statistics, computes
the present population between Maine
and California, Alaska and Key West
at 76,14S,0 00- To these must be added
the people brought under the Stars and
Stripes within the past year or more.
This viii include all the people who
have become citizens of this country
by reason of the war with Spain, as
we'll as by the annexation of Hawaii.
If this computation is anywhere near
correct it will be several decades be-
fore the United States will advance be-
yond fourth place in point of pOpula-
ton among the nations of the earth.
China, despite all the encroachments
upon her territory, still holds the lead

the United States. George Washington
was president Of a nation of about g.
000, 600 persons. 1t required about 20
years for the population to double In
1910 it was ,239, SS1: in 1920 it had only
increased to 8. 1888, S22, and in 1880 the
total was only 12,s66,020 This was the
period of inactivity, however, but af-
ter 1880 the population began to in
crease by leaps and bounds In 1910
it was 1909. 453; in 1850, %, 191, SIG; in
1860, 81, ABS in 1870 3S,55S, 371; in
1880, so, 1856, 1873 and in 1890, 81, 622, $50.
1t is impossible to say beforehand
how great an expense will be involved
in the taking of this census. It is well
known. however, that the clerks will
receive an average of about $500 a
year. This alone will mean the ex-
penditure of nearly SO. 900, 100 a year for
the salary list of the Washington Of
fee.
To pay the army of enumerators will
certainly require about $4,000, 600 more,
while the cost of material and the ex-
pense of publication viii exceed an
other million. AS the result, therefore,
it will be safe to say that it will cost
us not a penny less than $15,000,000 tc
discover what a great nation we have
become.

tunnel stations. The engineers assert
that the traffic on the road will be so
great as to prevent the use of elevators.
They say that they have planned to
have the Stairways large and built at
an angle so as to be easy of ascent The
stations on the viaduct portion of the
road will be very much like those of
the elevated railroad, except that they
will be tiled throughout and will be of
a much more artistic design.
Engineer Parsons has taken great
precautions against injuring private
property in the construction of the
road The contractor will have to in
demnify property owners for all dam
age DONE The portion of the route
under Central Park will be built with
great care, so as not to injure the pleas
ure ground. The contractor will have
to set new trees for every one killed in
construction, and all shrubbery re-
moved or affected must be restored as
soon as possible to good condition.
The portion of the route along Park
Row and Broadway adjacent will be
constructed with special care. The dirt
will not be allowed to pile up in the
streets. The openings of the streets
must be rooted over so as to permit the
passage of vehicles and pedestrians
and there is requirement that no
opening shall be maintained in front
of any property for a greater period
than thirty days.
The portion lying beneath the Har-
lem River and approaches thereto will
be constructed by means of compressed
air dredging, open caissons founded on
piles, and a free and unobstructed wa
terway for the passage of vessels, at
least 300 feet wide, must be left at all
times
All the work on the first section be-
tween City Hall and Fifty-ninth Street
will be completed in about year. This
is the most expensive portion of the
route. At least $40, 900, 600 will be spent
in building the main line.

CLOTHING SHOULD BE AIRED.

Everyday garments, particularly
those which are not Numbered, should
be disinfected. Brushing is not Suffi-
cient, as it does not remove the I'M
pleasant doors which come from long
usage. Some women sprinkle their
waists and dresses with scent and use
sachet powders to perfume their bon
nets and wraps. All this would be ad-
mirable if it were awaiting Scent
needs to be oYerpowering to conceal the
unfragrant emanations from an old
garment. Then the bouquet is fulsome
and vulgar. Better than scent bag and
pOtporrri are c1othespole and an open
window. Turn the garments wrong
side out and let the air and sunshine
dfsinfect and deodorize them All night
airing is good, but a day of blowing
winds and purifying sunlight is better.

The work on New York's rapid tran
sit underground railroad has begun.
How the engineers are going to bore a
hole through the center of Manhattan
Island and directly under the founda-
tons of the city'S SkyScraper buildings
is problem which has been success
fully solved.
Every detail of this enormous work
has been planned. Within three years
the Rapid Transit Commissioners are
hopeful that the people will be speed
ing in fast and comfortable trains
through the tunnel road from City Hall
to Harlem in fifteen minutes
The railroad will commence at a
point in Park Row. A two-track loop
will extend around the City Hall Park.
The route then lies under Centre street,
New Elm street, Lafayette place, across
Aston place and under Aston place
through private property to Ninth
street and Fourth avenue.
The route then runs under Fourth
avenue and Park avenue to Forty
second street at the Grand Central De-
pot. Thence the road will run west to
Broadway and under Broadway to a
point near Ninety sixth street. This is
the main line.
The construction of the loop around
City Hall Park will allow the trains to
be run at a Roadway of fifteen seconds,
and the engineer estimates that more
than 200, 900 persons can be handled each
way at the City Hall Station every day.
The tunnel will be twenty-five feet I'M
der ground along most of the downtown
sections between City Hall and the
Grand Central Depot. Four tracks will
be laid in the tunnel.
The inside tracks are to be used by
the fast express trains, and they will
stop only at comparatively long dis
tances. The outside tracks will be used
by the local trains stopping at each
station of the road. The express trains
will be the fastest passenger trains run
in the city of New York. It is esti-
mated that a speed of more than forty
miles an hour will be attained over
most of the route without danger The
City Hall station will be the largest

WHY IT PAYS
TO BE HONEST.
By Chauncey N. Depew.

Honesty is too much talked about as
If it were scarce in these days. The
business principles of to-day are bet
ter, purer and more universally honest
hood. Then the motto of life ran some
thing like this: "All is fair in love, war
and trader But this generation has
tabooed that maxim, and business
methods were never better or more re-
putable than they are at this minute.
Many immense fortunes have been
made by men of this generation, who
employed strictly honest means to at
tain their ultimate success and great
wealth. Take Bessemer, for example
No. 1. He invented the steel which is
used so extensively all over the world
for car rails and revolutionized the
manufacture of steel, giving employ
ment to thousands of persons and
bringing wealth to many beside himself.
He only made ten millions out of the
invention. and have heard people say
that they thought it was entirely too
small sum for the inventor of so won
derful an improvement. 1 think my
self that it was quite a respectable
sum.
take for example No. 2. He started in
a small way with a small store, and he
is to-day one of the Wealthiest men in
the country. and he has been always an
upright, honest man. In what lay the
secret of his success? Simply in this:
He knew what the people wanted, he
knew where to buy it and he knew
how to advertise. Many a man, as we
all know, has made a fortune through
judicious advertising. Take two men
starting in business at the same time
One uses all the money he makes in
living well and sometimes even ex-
travagantly.
The other invests all the surplus
cash that he can lay his hands on in
advertising here, there. everywhere
that he thinks will attract public no
tice. What is the result? The man
who advertises has crowds focking to
his shop to see the beauties of the ad-
vertised goods, and as the public be-
gin to run so they will continue from
sheer force of habit. The first shop
keeper will in the mean time be sitting,
unthought of and uncared for, aghast
at the crowds which daily throng the
counters of his competitor and bitterly
bewailing the bad luck which has fol-
lowed his own venture into trade. Yet
he has no one to blame for it but him
self.
Some persons might consider that old
Commodore Vanderbilt was dishonest
because he did not refund the money
which the stockholders Of the Hudson
River and Harlem Railroads would
have made il they had continued to

very weak position. If the Beers de-
eide to hold it Lord Roberts viii only
have to invest that place with suff1-
Gent force and viii still have ample
force to prosecute his campaign toward
Pretoria.
AS far as can be seen from the official
maps, the country about Winburg and
Kroonstad affords the first available
positions for Boer resistance to the
British advances on the Free State
lines.
So long as they are free to move they
can meet at any place and offer very
stubborn and prolonged resistance to
the advance of the superior British
forces.
Having the shorter interior line Of
communication between their two col
urnns, the Beers can quickly send rein
forcements from one to the other as
emergency may require. Thus they
may hope to make a more and more
effective resistance as their two lines OF

and my experience with them has
taught me this: That most men who
gain wealth dishonesty, if they live
long enough, get poor again It is al
most an invariable rule.
The main temptation with which the
ordinary business man of to-day is be-
set is the temptation to misrepresent
his capital or business prospects and
thus obtain greater credit. But don't
do it 1t does not pay. The old, old
adage, Honesty is the best policy" is
the safest motto for every business
man to follow And know what 1 am
talking about, too

applause, but it is q fal1acy through
and through. It is easier, much easier.

hold their stock after he took hold of
the roads. But he was not. They
cheated themselves out of the money
by not being farsighted enough to hold
on to their stock.
When the Commodore had made
twenty millions in shipping of various
sorts he looked about for something
good IN which he might invest his capt.
tai He found these railroads, which
were then in a most deplorable out-of-
date condition-the stock only worth IS
on s10O-and the bonds you could nor
sell for love or money. But he took
hold, built new bridges, put ali modern
improvements into the car service, ad-
vocated new signal systems, in short he
infused new blood into the entire SER
vice of the road at an enormous outlay
of capital-and then he waited. And
all the capital came back, bringing
much additional wealth along with it.
