twenty-six weeks in 1861 he received $2l 500
from Gardner, Hemmings e. Cooper's cir
Gus.
From that time on his star seemed to be
steadily waning. His property at Girard
was swept away by the foreclosure of a
mortgage. He had married again. His
second wife, the daughter of banker in
Girard. owned a considerable amount OF
property in her own right, but Rice was
ruined. Disappointment seemed to embitter
him. and his habits grew worse. but he
kept in the ring as clown each season with
young circus men. In ISL he was out with
Will Stow under the firm name of Rice &
Stow, but the partnership was dissolved by
his enforced retirement before the close
OF the season. Some years ago he struck

that there was not pint of petroleum

In 1873 Dan Rice reformed in st. Louis
and afterward delivered temperance lee
lures, occasionally slipping back into old
paths. Forepaugh once said that he would
let Dan Rice fix his own terms for a sea-
son in California If he would engage to
keep sober the season through, but the
offer was refused. In 1879 Nathans, June

for his sobriety. He refused the offer, say

and liberty to do as he pleased than any
terms on such conditions.
In Girard at one time he ran newspaper
called the Cosmopolite. He sought election
TO Congress in 1879 from that district, but
failed to get IL. When wealthy he gave
away great sums of money to public insti-
tutions In that part of the country and still
more, it Is said, in private charities. He
built a soldiers monument said to have
cost $4,000. Yet, as an old Snowman and

money was spent by President Lincoln and

Dan Rice made three fortunes, but died a
comparatively poor man. He married three
times. His third wife survives him. She

TOO MUCH PASSING THE HAT.
Protest Against the Frequent SUBJ
scriptiOn Paper.
New York Evening Sun.

New York Evening Sun.
There is altogether too much voluntary
passing of the hat nowadays. The fault Is
1t lies with those who, for their own pur-
pose-many times an unworthy one-take
advantage of the liberality of persons with
money to spend. Take the case of Mr.. Rud-
yard Kipling's very. proper appeal to the
people of England in his "Absent-minded
Beggar'' TO look after the wives and chill
dren of the men who have gone to the
front Unscrupulous persons seized on the
opportunity TO exploit themselves. The
chance, took to reciting the lines in sea-
son and out of season, not so much for the
purpose of helping the work along. as with
a view to drawing attention to themselves
Nor did IL stop there. There might be some
excuse for such enterprise In London and
English places OF amusement But TO make
an appeal for Tommy Atkins from the foot
lights of American theaters was a clear
case of abandoning even the pretense of
propriety and fitness.
And this case is only typical Certain
persons have started war fund in this
city, the proceeds of which are to be turned
into the English Mansion House fund. The
main mover In this enterprise states that
only persons of British parentage are ex-
pected to contribute. OF course 1t matters
not that they may be American citizens:
that all their interests are here: that they
make living here and have claims upon
them of a public sort, which as good Ameri-
cans they ought TO attend TO. You would
think from the actions of the promoters Of
the charity that the people OF England
were unable to attend TO their own widows
and orphans. which they not. or had
appealed TO the charitably disposed OF
Christendom, which they did not When
you come down to hard facts and motives
IL Is impossible TO come 10 any other con-
clusion than this: that there is no radical
difference between the music-hall and
legitimate professionals who pass the hat
for notorietys sake and the laymen who
pass the hat for the sake of getting their
names into the papers. Notoriety is the OBJ
ject I'm one case as in the other.
The mania for getting up subscriptions
has increased, Is increasing and ought to
be suppressed. Indeed the more worthy the
cause the more skeptical the public ought

The fact that several large blocks of
stock of the Chicago. Indianapolis & Louis
vile road were sold last week, and at adj
vanced prices, has created some speculation
as to the future of the property. The Wall
Street Journal says: 1.-The buying of Chi
cago, Indianapolis & Louisville came from
good quarters and in the opinion of we'll
informed people appeared to be in the in
terest of people associated with the Louis
Vile & Nashville Railway Company. 1t is
generally known that the same interest in
control of the Chicago, Indianapolis Sc
Louisville is also the dominant factor i'm
the Southern Railway Company. The rea-
son given for the buying in the interest of
Louisville & Nashville is that by securing
a large block of stock they would be in a
position TO prevent certain favors and con-
cessions that otherwise might be made TO
the Southern Railway Company. The stock
was also bought the expectation that
the decision in the suit which has been
pending since the road passed from the
hands of the receiver, in which $300OO0 is
involved, will be handed down soon. Ii is
expected to be in favor of the company In
such case 1t is believed the directors will in
the near future declare dividends on the
preferred stock on the basis of per cent.
per annum.'

A DECREASE in TONNAGE
UNFAvORABLE WEATHER AND BAD
ROADS CUT DOWN TRAFFIC..
Two Strong Southern Lines Said to
Want Control of the Monon-Move-
ments of Railway officials.

The train record show that there were
received and forwarded at Indianapolis in
the week ended Feb. "a a total Of 25.937
cars, 1854 being loaded, 1,6S7 fewer loaded
cars than were handled at this point in the
preceding week, which was due to the fact
that on Washington's birthday no local
freights were run. Empty cars are in bet
ter supply than at any time in many
months but there seems 10 be no trouble
in loading them as soon as they can be
placed for loading. Shipments of gain are
increasing, although country roads are
had. Stocks held in cribs at way station
warehouses and elevators are now being
shipped more extensively than at any time
since last years harvest. In commodity
freights, such as hides, fertilizers, We
neering and hard wood lumber. shipments
east are heavier than usual in February.
and there has been an increase of late in
shipments of -four and cerealine products.
West-bound shipments of staple groceries,
such sugar. coffees and molasses, are
unusually heavy. and Of the higher classes
of freight the tonnage is as heavy as 1t
usually is in March. when Western mer-
chants usually stock up. There is great
cars is short of the demand. The tom
mage of transcontinental freight continues
heavy beyond precedent in both directions,
the advance I'm rates not having checked
shipments. Local business was never be-
fore heavy in winter months. Since
Dec. l at the city freight depots the full
force of men has been retained and the
roads have found their depots inadequate
to handle the incoming and outbound
freights to advantages; both tracks have
been utilized TO an extent never before re-
ouired- The iron industries and the manu-
factIrers Of articles from wood being as
heavy shippers as in their most prosperous
times in the past, which is unusual at this
season of the year. The packing houses are
again heavy export shippers as are the
cerealine mills, and not in years has as
much coal been moved in local way. The
table below shows the number of loaded
cars handled at this point for the week
ending Feb. "a and for the corresponding
weeks Of 1899 and 1898:

run their course or have been driven
out, the poisons which they created
remain in the blood, the heart, the

They irritate the nerve centers, low
