Government It may not be imper-
ative' but it certainly is judicious for
any secretary of the treasury to con
suit Mr.. Morgan before making a
great loan not as to its advisability,
perhaps, but certainly as to it's exc
cution. It is doubtful if any COM
binatlon@Of men in America would
attempt a project involving a vast
amount of money without ascer-
tanning how Mr.. Morgan would re-
gard it. He occupies the primacy
to-day as a fnancier and railroad
magnate in the United States. There
are rich men within our borders who
form syndicates of men but Mr..
Morgan combines syndicates. His
great prestige is not a creation of
days Or years, but of generations.
He inherited a large fortune, and
has developed it in a manner second

throat cut from ear TO ear with pen
knife but not fatal. Il 10 alleged that
Jones confessed, last night. his part Of
the forgery Of the check Of the dead man
which was presented to the banks for
payment before the information Of the
millionaire's death had been made
public.
This afternoon Assistant District At.
torney Osborn gave out = statement re-
garding the confession Of Valet Jones 10
this effect:
Jones says that Albert +. Patrick the
lawyer, gave Rice some tablets Of gray.
ish color. which the millionaire took
daily for more than . week before he
died.
The alleged confession details the ia.
cidents immediately preceding the death
Of Rice, in which it is asserted that Jones
saw Patrick holding towel twisted cone
shaped over the face Of Rice who soon
died. Although the confession does moi
say 80, it ID supposed that chloroform
was administered.
The alleged confession goes on to tell
how Patrick signed the fraudulent will
and also the bogus checks for 10000.
The attorneys for the defense claim
that Jones was sweated mnch like the
inquisition and virtually charges the au
thorities with murder, If Jones dies frou

an estimated population of 100000,
''the average number of suicides may
be estimated at about 1000 month"
DR.. William Park says that in the
whole of China there are over 100000
deaths by suicide each year, and that
$4,000 of these deaths are due to
opium poisoning. AS to the use of this
drug for such a purpose and the causes
which lead to suicide. Mr.. Graham
says
But why do so many take opium to
end their lives? The causes are
various: There has been a quarrel;
mistress has beaten the slave girl; a
schoolmaster has thrashed' his pupil,
and the boy to be revenged on the
schoolmaster, and get him into trouble,
takes opium; a row over some money;
a lost cat; in fact nearly every little
circumstance imaginable has been the
cause of some one taking opium. The
aggrieved party in the heat of his or
her anger, believe that if they kill
themselves their spirit will take ven-
geance on their enemy. Opium is
found in almost every home. What is
easier that in the heat of anger to
snatch up a box of opium and swallow
the contents? If only opium could be
made more difficult to obtain, many
lives might be saved AS long as
opium is everywhere. as it is at pres
ent, and the Chinese are as they are,
this awful amount of self-destruction
will go on"

Matinee Heroes.

In reply to letter inquiring what
she thinks of a girl who boasts of be
ing 'sstuck" on an actor whom she
knows to be married Ella Wheeler
Wilcox replies as follows in the New
York Journal:
II think the young woman is tenn
porarily insane. Many excellent girls
pass through such periods in early
youth and live to become good. sensi-
BILE women and devoted wives and
mothers. To romantic girl an actor
often assumes the form of a semi
divine being, a creature like the IA
bled gods of Olympus. She imagines
him to be possessed of all the great
and striking qualities which he as
sumes with his roles on the stage. /
have personally known two girls who
passed through this actor-struck
period. One learned that her hero
was married and father of several
children, while he carried on innumer-
able frivolous f1irtations with girls as
silly as herself-and all her infatua-
ton died in an hour of shame and hui
initiation The other learned that her
noble idol papered the walls of his
rooms with the photographs sent him
by love-sick girls and that he read
their letters aloud to his men friends
over beer and cigars. If it had been
over champagne her passion might
have endured the shock-but the beer
effected a cure.
"The girl of whom my correspon-
dent writes would be benefited by
knowing the facts of her hero's daily
life. She would be made in an adroit
manner to realie how ridiculous girls
like herself seem to such men-even
while they a1nuse themselves with
their letters and their alteration. She
should be guarded as strictly as posi-
bic from any act which could com
promise her during her dementia, and
her friends should good-naturedly
guy her and her idol until she re-
covers, as she no doubt will in time

Successful DahIia Farm.

One of the novelties in New England
agriculture, is the dahlia farm of H. T.
Burt of Taunton For many years Mr..
Burt has made a speciality of the
varieties of this flower. increasing his
collection with the finest of European

the largest number of named varieties
in America and, with one exception,
the largest acreage After filling his
spring orders his remaining stock
usually plants from Z to 10 acres. To
secure fairly uniform size among his
mailing stock requires skilful system
of fertilization. The varieties are
graded into classes according to their
constitutional vigor; those most deli
cate receiving heavy application Of
fertilizer very rich in potash and each
grade in it's order a less amount, con-
tanning a smaller percentage of potash
until those most vigorous are given
only a light application, having 20

OUR ovERFURNIsHED HOMES.
Health, Comfort and Taste Sacrificed
for Display in American Houses.

Health, Comfort and Taste Sacrificed
for Display in American Houses.
more simplicity in our homes would
make our lives simpler" writes Ed
ward Box in plea for the exercise of
better taste in furnishing our homes,
in Ladies' Home Journal. Many
women would live fuller lives because
they would have more time. AS it is,
hundreds of women of all positions in
life are today the slaves of their homes
and what they have crowded into
them. Comfort is essential to our hap
piness. But with comfort we should
stop. Then we are on the safe side.
But we get on and over the danger
line when we go beyond. Not one
tenth of the things that we think are
essential to our happiest living are
really So. In fact, we should be an
infinitely happier and healthier people
if the nine-tenths were taken out of
our lives It is astonishing how much
we can do without, and be thousand
times the better for it. And it doesn' t
require much to test this gospel of
wisdom. We need only to be natural
to get back to our real, inner selves.
Then we are simple. Tt is only be-
cause we have got away from the
simple and the natural that SO many Of
our homes are cluttered up as they are,
and our lives full of little things that
are not worth the while. We have
bent the knee to show, to display, and
we have lowered ourselves in doing it !:
surrounded ourselves with the trivial
and the useless; and filling our lives
with the poison of artifciality and the
unnatural, we have pushed the Real,
the Natural, the Simple, the Beautiful
the best and the most lasting things
out of our lives"
