Anjou, the brother of Louis TX. of

and parceled out these kingdoms into

his cruelty toward the adherents OF
the dispossessed race, his tyranny, op-
pressive taxation, and the brutality of
his followers, excited among the vim

SCARE AMONG RICH MEN.


the Metropolis.
The exodus of wealthy Chicagoans
to New York continues at a rate which
bids fair to diminish rapidly the ranks
of the -four hundred" The past two
years have seen the departure of
large number to make their homes in
the Eastern metropolis, and lately
they have gone at the rate of one
week. For instance, James B. Breese,
the broker. left to make Gotham his
residence. Recently Charles B. Nc

nounced that he would say goodbye.
Next comes the departure of Frederick
X. Pulsifer, one of the leading MEM
bers of the board of trade. to swell the
list of ex-Chicagoans in the east. One
of Chicagos best known corporation
lawyers will follow him in the early
summer. Samuel M. Nickerson, late
president of the First National bank,
has bought a home in New York. and
has also his son Roland, popular
dent of the Chicago and eastern Illi-
nois railway, shook the Chicago dust
from his shoes about two years ago
and went to New York. He gave as
his reason the excessive taxation and
persecution against corporations. The
panies headquarters took not only

At the close of the civil war Gen.
A. r. Johnson of the Confederate
army, was left without money, with a
wife and family to support and, worst
of all, stone blind, his sight having
been entirely destroyed by a shell dur
ing one of the last battles of the war.
He removed to Texas and pluckily set
about building up fortune. In the
days before the war he had been a sur
veyor. and he was thoroughly familiar
with the topography of the state. Con-
sequently his services soon became
valuable in locating and setting up
land claims. Twelve years ago he
succeeded in interesting northern
capital in his scheme for founding a
town at Marble Falls, Texas. A city
of 10000 people sprang up there al
most over night. Then Gen. Johnson
built big cotton and a shoe factory,
and finally he succeeded in persuading
one of the Texas railroads to build
branch line to his town. Still the
prosperity of Marble Falls is growing
and still its blind founder is its most
honored citizen.

estimated that altogether the city, by
these and other removals of persons
and corporations, has lost several mil

it is worth noting that there have
been those military experts who have

it's officers have been chosen too close

Pronunciation of Automobile. -

Two ways of pronouncing the word
automobile" are defensible, accord
ing to current orthoepic authorities,
and two only, although at least five
have been suggested. AS noun the
word is not given in any dictionary.
1t is in the Standard as an adjective,
pronounced au-to-mo-bil. The noun,
of course, is only the adjective used
absolutely, to mean something that
is automobile or self-moving. The
ccmmonest pronunciation is au-to-mo-
heel. 1t is simply auto" self, and
mobile" movable. The Standard

others prefer mo-beel.-Inland Printer.

Railroads Use Lumber.

Among the largest consumers just
now of Washington lumber are the
railroads. A great amount of cons
truction and repair work is in progress
and the purchases Tor the big lines
have learned where to look for their
best market. II is estimated that
within the last month from 20,000O 600
to 1000, 600 feet of lumber have been
ordered to meet the demands of the
railways. ]. III. Waterman, assistant
purchasing agent for the Burlington,
has just placed an order for 2,000,O00
feet, chiefly for bridge tlmbers, to be
used in extending the main lire of the
Burlington westward into Wyoming.
]. L. Schwab, Great Northern con-
tractor, says that it will be absolutely
impossible for the mills to meet the
demand of the roads this season, es-
peclally for fir ties, which are no lon-
ger regarded in the nature of an expert
ment.-Seattle Times.

What Aguinaldo Fought For.

In an article written since returning
from the Philippines Gen. Wheeler re-
marks that Aguinaldo was fe hting for
great prize and chad he won he
would have been a powerful emperor
a mighty dictator" The true imperi-
alistic movement is located by this
statement. Its head was Aguinaldo
The government he intended to form
would have been despotism and fore
ed upon fifty unwilling tribes. His
only schooling was in Spanish forms OF
government He would have had a
state church. His edicts would have
been supreme. Large accumulations
OF products had been gathered by his
agents at various ports of fill bis treas
ury. Spanish prisoners were held for
ransom. Rates of taxation would haye
depended on a stroke of his pen, and
his method of collection is with a file
OF soldiers. Gen. Wheeler has seen
the islands and studied the situation
for himself. He believes that Aguin-
aldo would have been an Oriental die
tator, emperor.
Instead OF pursuing course of inn
perialism the United States has struck
down Malay imperialistic conspiracy

about 10 take steps to restrict the inn
migration of Japanese coolies to the

1t is asserted that the figures rela-

there are now not more than about

limits of the United States outside OF

" brought here under the delusion
that there were untold opportunities
for work at q great wages.
The japanese government is interest
ed in protecting its people from the
hardships resulting from such imposi.
tions and that is the reason 1t intends
to establish restrictions upon the up
ward flow.
