A WEALTHY PRIEST.
Archbishop Hennessey's Estate Totals
Million Dollars.

Washington, Aug. S.-By the settle
ment of Archbishop Hennessey's estate
in Iowa and Minnesota, which has just
been effected, the Catholic university
authorities here expect to realize at least
$150o00. The archbishop had always
been one of the university's staunchest
friends. 1t is understood that his estate
approximates 81, 000, o00, the bulk of which
is bequeathed to various charities. He
acquired this vast fortune through spec
ulation in real estate when priest prior
to his elevation to the hierarchy. When
Mgr Keane of the Catholic university,
succeeds to the aTchbishopric of Du-
buQue, Archbishop Martine1H will invest
him with the palliurn, or badge of met
ropolitan rank Mgr Keane's present I'll
tie archbishop is but an honorary dis
Tnction and he has never yet received
the sacred paIlium.

GLOBE SIGHTS.


IF'rom the Atchison Globe.1
After a loafer has loafed six or seven
years, he thinks he is as good as any
body.
If man meets six girls in the course
of the day, i've tell him that he is real
mean"
her dressmaker is the first person to
find it out.
As a man grows older. he begins to
appreciate more why a dog gets out
and howls-
a handsome monument to his wife's
memory overcomes 70 per cent OF the
opposition to a mans re-marriage.
An Atchison man has gone crazy in
trying to decide who is the sweetest
girl in town between the ages Of six
teen and twenty.
When a man loses his position, and
is without money, his relatives keep as
far away from his house as II ne MAD
the bubonic plague.
The divine right of kings isn't in it
with the right of the married daughter
who comes home for the first time to
show off her baby to her parents.
In cheering the young men, do not
forget the faithful old fellows who kept
the pot boiling while the boys were
acquiring strength and experience.
The worst abused husband in Atchi-
son is one whose wife, before her mar
riage, had the most admirable theories
of the manner in which q husband
should be treated.
Do not neglect good. honest hard
work for a little fool art Some of the
pictures you see, and some of the
poetry you are asked to read, are not
as ereditable as an honest days work
in the harvest field
When a woman finds after years of
trying that she can't make good bread,
and her cooking is poor, she still main
tains an air of superiority over her
more skilled neighbor, if she was
college graduate, and her nelghpor
was not. She never gets over it.
Six or seven weeks ago, an Atchison
woman died, and her husband was so
much affected that he had to be car
ried to the grave. One of the women
now quoted as saying that unless
certain other woman leaves him alone,
she will shoot her
1t is probably the secret hope of every
woman'S heart after love has folded its
hands on its breast and gaSped its last
that she win outlive her husband.
When a man is left behind because of
the infirmities of old age, then he should
rise up and give thanks if he enjoys
game of cards. 1t is a sin to play cards
eyes fail for reading, and the feet fail
for finding amuSementS away from
home, deck of cards is a WEAKNESS
killer that demands some respect.

that hampered him were withdrawn
After that the witness said he had q
talk with John Gaynor and they agreed
to divide the work and let the GaynOrS
get the contracts. Mr.. Gaynor paid him
$3.50 for the concession. That was in 1882

nor offered him 81 900 not to bid for GER
tain contract. He refused the offer and
underbid the contracting company $400
The contract was awarded to him.

declined to accept work from him, al
though he had personally accepted SIM
liar work from the Gaynors, built under
like specifications and by the same work
men. Mr. Twigg testified that under the
methods pursued by Captain Carter it

WRONG SIDE UP.

The manner in which complicated
lenses are set in the frame makes
all the difference in the world
They must be set exactly so. If
they are turned around or turned
over they will have just the oppo-
site effect from what was intended.
If you break your frame or a lens
drops out have it reset by some
one who understands in what posi-
ton it should stand One of my
patrons came in the other day and
said that the right lens Of his
glasses did not seem to fit him
any more. It bothered him so much
that he. had been going without
glasses a good deal for the past
three months. I found the lens was
standing wrong side up. Instead of
relieving him it made his condition
twice as bad. He said ne had
broken the frame three months
ago and had it repaired. That was
the time the lens, was displaced.
