The Standard As An Earning
Capacity.

Cleveland, O., March 21.-A sum es-
timated at s1,0OO,000 was dumped into
Cleveland yesterday by the Standard
Oil Company. 1t came in the form of
dividend checks, most of which found
their way to the windows of the re-
ceiving tellers OF various banks before
noon.
Few of the checks were cashed, the
great majority being deposited by
stockholders for credit on their ac-
counts. One cid lady appeared with a
check for $40, her quarterly dividend
upon two shares of the face value of
500 each held by her. which consti-
tutes the bulk Of her fortune. She
drew the cash.
The company on February 9Th last
declared quarterly dividend of $40
on each share of stock The aggre-
gate amount of checks issued from the
New York Office was s2O,OO0,0O0.
Cleveland is the home of the COM
pany and its organizer. and is natural
| ly the home of the greater number of
its smaller stockholders. The number
has been growing less as the stock in
creased in value and the owners of
small interests were pursuaded to sell.
A few who have clung to their shares
now reap the profits from an original
investment ridiculously small.
The dividend just paid was the
largest known in the history of Amer
| ican financial transactions. The Pull
man company once paid total divi-
dend of $4,000, ,OOO which is the next
highest.
Between last Thursday and Saturday
Standard stock in New York rose from
$40 to $50, but that offer included the
paying of the dividend to the buyer
and was not sustained, the price now
being settled at $50. Standard Oil
stock is now held by 5000 persons, OF
whom a bakers dozen own so per cent.

of money in the world is $4,000 900,
900. At the rate of $2O0O0,OO0 per
quarter, the Standard Oil Company
would earn all the money in the world
in 1877 years.
The largest check issued was one for
81, 100000, payable to John d. Rookie
feller, who holds one-fcurth of the
stock. The smallest was for 500, which
was sent to Cleveland
The company was incorporated at
$40 ,000,0 exactly half the amount of
the last quarterly dividend. The capi-
talization was increased in 1892 to
$110, ,000, 900, CT which 100000 900 has
been issued Notwithstanding 80 per
cent of the water therein, the value
of each share has increased within six
years, each s10O share being now read
lily salable at $500. The total valua-
tion was 100000.

CENTRAL ASIA.
Preoonceived Nctions About 1t MI
wrong Good Health
Resort.

One finds difficulty In associating
Central Asia with the idea OF health
resort, says the London Lancet. The
names Of Bokhara, Samarkand and
Teshkend call to mind pictures OF u
country the past history of which waa
one of nameless horrors and the recent
history of which IL one of reluctanb
submission after bloody war to the
overwhelming might of Russia, which
only succeeds IN keeping peace by free
use of the iron hand barely concealed
under the velvet glove of civilized rule.
The climate one Is apt to think of as
one of burning heat in summer, alter
mating with arctic cold in winter. All
these preconceived opinions are prob
ably equally wrong. Central Asia Is
settled and as safe under civilized west
ern rule as India; and as regards eli
mate, though the plains suffer from ex-
tremes, there are said to be hill sta
tions admirably suited for health re-
sorts. Such place is Rokube, $500 feet
above sea level, In the hills, not far
from Samarkand, where the mortali-
ty is very low and chest diseases are
almost unknown. Other places In the
neighborhood are equally favored
The winter is mild, and spring begins
in March. The sky is constantly clear
and the air is of great purity. The
climatic conditions are compared with
those of Greece or Italy, but are more
continental in character. Next year o

still seemed to resemble the mans dis

A Congressman's Troubles.

Congressman receive many queer re-
quests from their constituents and
most of them have an enormous mail
to hook after every day. They are
probably in closer touch with the
great body of the people than any 9TH
er class Of legislators. Some of the
letter writers, however, have very Pc
culiar ideas of the duties OF Con-
gresham, and many seem to think
that the government is able and ready
to supply them with almost anything
According TO an exchange a Missouri
member OF the House of Representa-
tlves was showing some OF his fellow
members letter he had just opened
asking for a package of gherkln
seeds" Another MiSsourian was
prompted to spek of lady in his dis
trict who had written for sitting of
government eggs" The third fished
out letter which called for some
battle-ax tobacco seed" A south Car
Gilman told of a constituent who
wanted a sample OF every kind OF ap-
pie tree the Department OF Agriculture
is distributing" Then a Wisconsin
Representative told Of two OF his com
missions from the people. One was
to send Webster's dictionary and the
other was to buy stallion. A New
Jerseyman had written for Smiths on
ion report. which his Congressman
hadfnally decided meant Smithson-
ion report. The Tennessee member OF

ous-minded constituent who said he

RIFLES FOR sHARpsHoorERs. "A
The Present Infantry Weapon IL
Not Well Designed for
Long Range.


The Napoleonic maxim that "fre is
everything" Is truer In these days of
smokeless powder and long-range
weapons than ever before. says Cas-
sier's. An expert shot is no longer
blinded by his comrades smoke; nor
is his position revealed by his own
smoke when firing from cover. Ten
sharpshooters nowadays are worth
more than so bunglers with the rifle.
The present infantry weapon, how
ever, Is not we'll designed for sharp
shooters.
IL the sharpshooter is required to
use regular infantry ammunition his
rifle should differ from II common
muskct in the following particulars:
Its barrel should be thick through
out, tapering slowly toward the muz-
zle. On u telescope-sighted gun
1t need not be over "a inches long.
This restricted length, together with
the amount of metal in the barrel,
would give it stiffness, would keep it
from excessive heating, would neu-
tralize recoil, and would enable the
man to hold steadily when shooting
from hip rest, which is the steadiest
of all -oifhand positions and as prac-
tical In the field as on the range.
1t is mistake to use high
powers in rifle telescope. They re-
strict the field vision, lessen the illu-
mination and magnify errors of hold
ing, So fur as aiming Is concerned,
a power of four diameters draws a
man ! 900 yards distant to within $50
yards of the shooter, and this is close
enongh for murderous accuracy.

Almost as HAD as GreeIey,..

Among living statesmen, Mr.. Co.
schen writes probably the worst hand.
His figures are fairly clear, as one
would expect from so eminent finan-
cial authority, but some of his corre-
spondence would eclipse Dean STAN
ley's letters for being indecipherable.
Mr.. Goschen took up one Of his own
memoranda the other day, and, being
very short sighted. exclaimed: "A
man who writes like that ought not to
be in the public Srrrice!"

Reviving the Half Cent.

A movement Is reported from Phila-
delphia to have the government revive
the old half cent or rather to issue n
new coin of that denomination. 1t is
represented that in these days of close
cutting of prices such coin would be
very convenient since economical
buyers are getting to that point where
in their hunt for bargains, the saving
of a half cent would be likely to prove
attractive, while the margin between
a cut of a whole cent and a half cent
would make considerable difference to
sellers. The demand for this coin would
seem to contradict prevailing theory
that we are getting more eXtrayagant.
We used to have half cents as part
of our coinage, but the extravagant
era of the Civil war caused them to be
abandoned. Ever since then, though we
have been piling up enormous wealth,
we have been looking more closely af-
ter the pennies.
There was time when over large
portion OF the country this coin was
not regarded at all, and in California
and some adjacent states this is still
partially or wholly the case. There
was a time in California when two bits
or a quarterof dollar was the small
est change that was current, and there
are still establishments On the coast
where nothing but two bits goes. But
in all parts of the East the cent has
been more and more sharply looked af-
ter with the gradual fall in the price OF
commodities which has been constant
for many years, up to the beginning OF
many instances almost to the figures
which prevail abroad, and we are COM
ing to be cheap country in one sense
and are feeling the need of those small
coins which minister to the economic
habits OF the people Of European coun-
tries. 1t seems rather strange that
while we are infinitely wealthier than
We ever were before, we should look
more closely not only after the pennies
but even after the fractions thereof
but it is undoubtedly the fact, and
there is no question but that that is
partly accountable for the prosperity
which would seemingly cause US to be
careless of small thigs. .-Pittsburg
