Get Rich and Then what':

Some years ago MIR. Carnegie,
the rich steel manufacturer, SAID
that it was a disgrace for man to
die in the possession of millions.
People then thought that he Was
insipcere In his utterances. But
he. seems honestly striving to car
nv out his idea, He has recently
.retirad from business, and during
last year alone he gave away over
five million dollars for the eStab-
lishment of public Libraries in diff
fereAt towns and cities. He is
intensely loyal to everything
American, Las any one can perceive
who reads his writings. Ano to
read after him is to catch the fire
Of patriotism and enthusiasm for
our country, and every institution
that belongs to it.
|, In this day OF increasing riches
it might be we'll for the possessors
to inquire how they may best use
them. The example of MIR. Car
,negie is a striking one, and wor-
thy of being followed by others.
He is noble example Of a man
who accumulated millions of dol
lars, and yet. remained master OF
them Too. many rich men be-
come slaves of money and lose
!, sight of the, highest ends of life.

Mr.. Barnwell has Upheld the Best iTa-
ditions of the Community in the
State Senate.


State Senate,
Charleston county has been rep
resented in the senate by some OF
the ablest men in the community,
during the past few years, the
quality of her representation i'll the
upper house showing no deterlora-
,;onfrom the elder days, IN more
or less striking contrast to the state
OF tae house delegation. 1t would
he impossible to find ADLER men III
the community than those who
have represented Charleston IN
the State senate during the past
decade. Smythe, Buist and Barn
we'll are in the front ranks OF our
public men, and their presence IN
the State councils has been a sat-
israction and a strength. 1he
present senator, MIR. BarnwelI, has
upheld the best traditions of the
community he represented and
has borne his Office with dignity
and ability. In filling the place
he has made vacant by his retire
ment, there should be no lowering
Of the standard set by his prede-
cessors and maintained by him.
The office is one Of great import
ance. In some respects it Is the
most important Of all the Offices
to be voted for this summer. None
but the best men should be con-
sidered for it.--Charleston Post.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, August 31.-R. G. Dun
& Co.'S weekly review of trade will
\ say:
Commercial failuges during August
were 1856 in number, with liabilities of
81. 323, 9O3. Manufacturing were TIA for
2.945,607; trading $40 for $685.
and other commercial AZ for $792,629.
There were only two banks with liahil-
tiles of $4,000. This is the best
monthly statement for 1900 thus far.
but shows an increase over the CORE
spending month in the two preceding
years
Steel mills in the Cumberland district
and some in Indiana have shut down,
throwing many hands out, but part OF
these will be transferred to other de-
partments OF the new Crucible steel
Company. Otherwise the working force
is increasing and hope is expressed OF
an adjustment with the anthracite coal
miners. Reading Company miners are
said to be opposed to strike and some
others are in the same position. An
other important influence of the week
has been favorable weather for develop
ment OF corn over the greater part OF
the surplus corn States, though heavy
rains in the spring wheat regions have
rsasarded harvesting The cotton
movement lis slow and late, but weather
conditions average better except in the
Carolinas. Price changes are small.
Steady improvement is seen in the iron
IA rod NV op pn-
yances. but wherever change occurs 1t
is In the right direction. 1t is claimed
by some authorities that orders cur
rently booked aggregate more tran
present production and shipments. Spe-
cial concessions to secure prospective
business are withdrawn and buyers
seek contracts for prompc delivery.
In some lines mills are actively en-
ployed with orders for months ahead,
and contracts running to June were
placed this week Sales of iron bars
were made at $40 and $40 is quoted
for BeSsemer pig at Pittsburg. West
ern stove manufacturers have been buy
4ing freely and bridge builders signed
contracts for structural material. Mer-
chant steel advanced on increasing or

Late Copper exports average million
pounds per day, and the market is in
strong position. Iron ore handlers
have made trouble at Cleveland, and
the industry will be embarrassed by
delay in unloading vessels. Further re-
duction is shown in the output ait
Connellsville coke ovens. 1t is not pos
sible to report progress in the boot and
shoe industry, unless it can be consid-
cred encouraging that continued mac
tivity at the shops must in time reduce
stocks to point where orders will
mean resumption of operations. There
is general quiet at both cotton and
wool centers The only manufacturers
showing any interest in wool at Boston
are those with government contracts
that must be filled promptly. Prices of
wool are unchanged and western hold
ers have not lost any of their con-
hdence. Sales at the three chief east
ern markets were only 4,234, 700 pounds.

SLAUGHTERED THEM.
Two Thousand Boxers Slain by I'M
periuI Troops While at a Feast.


TAKU. August %, via Shanghai, Au-
gust 30-An intercepted letter, writ
ten by the viceroy at Pao-Ting-Fu who
commanded at lien Tsin during the
fighting there, complains that the Box
ers are overrunning the country south
west Of Tien Tsln, particularly the cit
les on the Grand Canal, despising the
officials, who at first countenaneed
them, and looting and killing the enc
mics of their organization and fighting
the imperial troops. The gates of Pao-
Ting-Fu are kept closed and the peo-
pie inside are suffering, the Boxers
practically besieging the place.
The viceroy reports that the taotai OF
the city OF 1sung-Chow, on the canal,
invited 1000 Boxers to a feast, and that
waiie the Boxers were eating and their
arms were stacked, the imperial SOL
diels by his orders fell upon them and
slaughtered all of them.
There is much recrimination between
the foreigners besieged in Picking and
the members OF the relieving force. Of
ficers say that the besfeged sent out
alarmist reports and that the condition
of the foreigners was never one of such
represented. The foreigners, they as
sert, could have resisted indefinitely.
The besieged accuse the generals OF
timidity and of exaggerating the Chi
nese opposition. They think much
smaller army might have made the
march and relieved them sooner.
The looting at Pekin proceeds indus
triously and openly. The officers of
every nation except the Americans ig-
more the repressive order, and all the
allies ridicule the Americans for their
abStention.

1t will be remembered that Wheeling

matters.

The Register had a conversation
over the long-distance telephone last
night with President G. B. Power,
who was in Now Castle. He stated that
all the difficulties had been adjusted,
but gave no details The Now Castle
cluI5 will come to Wheeling to-day and
will finish the schedule of games for
the season. The Thursday and Fri
day games, forfeited through non-ap-
pearance, VIII count for Wheeling.
The Wheeling club will go to Day
ton Sunday, President Power having
slightly rearranged the schedule, but
will be back home to play here all
next week.
Wheeling played gilt-edged ball dur
ing the series with Fort Wayne, and
now that the team is again in good
shape it may be expected to strike a
winning streak and continue it until
the end of the season. There is no
good reason why Wheeling should
drop a single game before The close
of the season, although, OF course, this
is expecting too much. The lovers OF
the national game should turn out and
encourage both players and manage
ment by their patronage.
