BANKER SMITHS FORTUNE
Death Duties on His Estate in
LOndGn Amounted to
S4,5OO,O 900.

London, March 6.-The estate to
which Sir Michel Hicks-Beach re-
ferred in presenting the budget to
the house Of Commons to-day as
having yielded $500. 900 to the Gov
eminent in death duties was that of
the late George Smith, a banker,
formerly of Chicago, who died some
time ago at his club in London,
where he lived for many years in a
most unpretentious and economical
manner.
George Smith was a native of
Scotland, but went to America
sixty years ago, locating in Chicago,
where he laid the foundation of his
great fortune. He became the pio-
neer banker of the Northwest and
issued notes which circulated freely
and were popularity called George
Smiths money" He organized with
his partner, Alexander Mitchell,
another Scotchman, the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul Railroad
system.
When he came back to Europe
Smith made his home at the Reform
Club in London, where he was
known as a recluse. His heir is his
nephew, James Henry Smith, of the
firm of Geddes & Smith. 10 Wall
street, New York. The younger Mr..
Smith has bachelor apartments at
the Wilbraham, 1 West Thirtieth
street, New York, He was already
a rich man when his uncle died. The
death duty in England on estates
worth more than 5000, 900 is 8 per
cent, SO that the value of LGeorge
Smiths estate, as assessed, was
somewhat more than $56;0OO,O 0O.

CITY SOLONS IN SESSION.

The Business That Engaged the Attention
OF b Board of Aldermen Last Night
Daily Argds, Wednesday.
The Board of Aldermen met
last night in regular monthly ses-
sion at the city headquarters with
Mayor Peterson in the chair and
all the members present.
City Clerk Broadhurst read the
proceedings of previous meetings
during the past month, which
were adopted without change.
The first question of reference
was the water rental. Chairman
Dewey of the Finance Committee,
reported hat the committee had
agreed to pay the Water Company
rents by the month at the same
rate as heretofore.
The question of finance was dis
cussed at some length and as a
means of reform the finance CON-
mittee recommended the follows

ISOLATION OF THE Beers.

The congratulations of the en-
peror of Germany and the King
Of Italy, promptly sent after
Lord Roberts successes, and the
lack of congratulations from the
heads of the Russian aud French
governments, define the general
position of Europe in the South
African war. This position has
long been understood, however,
and the congratulations sent to
Queen Victoria simply empha-
size and make plain to all what a
few had understood. It is now
plain that Germany, for reasons
best known to herself, some Of
which are shut up in a treaty
negotiated just before the Beers
marched into Natal, proposes to
give England a free hand in
South Africa, and Italy is supp
porting her in that position.
This commits to some extent the
third member Of the Dreibund to
a like policy. France and Russia
may feel inclined to intervene,
but neither of them will care to
encounter the Dreibund. Ger
many and Italy practically say to
the world, "Hands off; this is
England's piece Of business, and
she shall settle it in her oHn
way" And SO iG will be settled.
The Beers of Boerdom have
the political sense of Isolation
and straight shooting, and that
is not very much; but their agent
in Europe, DR.. Leyds, must see
that his people are completely
isolated, and that England will
settle the wal in her own way if
she be victor at the end. He
must see that better terms can be
obtained now than can be had
when British troops occupy
Pretoria and johannesburg and
Bloemfontein. But he is perhaps
controlled by the state OF public
sentiment at home, which is
neither broad enough nor intelli-
gent enough to grasp the situa-
ton. And so it happens that the
two sides will fight it ou', and in
the struggle many valuable lives
will be blotted out, and after the
slaughter is ended two little re-
publics will be blotted out also.

EDITORS INVITED.
Asked to BE Present when Printing
Contract Ii Awarded.

The contracts for county printing will be
awarded by the County Commissioners to-
morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. So much
has been said of the printing bids that the
editors of the various papers have been
asked to be present when the contracts are
let. The awards are to be made in their
presence. and the printers who bid are also
requested to be present and enter any OBJ
~jections they may see ht.
The commissioners have given the print
ing bids much consideration, owing 10 the
fact that they appear to be ~'juggled." This
is a plan adopted by printers in bidding
for county and public work whereby they
make certain bids which appear to be very
low, but which in reality are high. The
plan is to bid low on articles that will not
be needed and place the figures high on
necessities and stationery used in large
quantities. The footings on such a schedule
give a comparatively low total.
1t is this apparent juggling that has
caused the commissioners to spend so much
time before letting the contracts. They
have gone over the schedules upon which
the bids were made and compared them
with the acquisitions made by the county
officers. Where Juggling is found allow
ances will be made according to the degree
Of extravaganza and calculated in figuring
up the bids. The purpose of the commits
sioners in having the printers and editors
present when the awards are made is 10
insure entire satisfaction to all concerned.

IS SEEKING HER CHILD
MARTHA KANE TRYING TO RECOVER
POSSESSION OF LITTLE RUTH.
Babe Has Rcen I'm the Care of the In
dinnapo1is Orphans Home
A Mother Story.

Martha Kane came to the courthouse
late yesterday evening inquiring for the
officials who had charge of the adoption
of babies" She wanted to get her three
year-old baby girl who is now in the In
dianapolis Orphans Home. The child's
name is Ruth. She said she was told at
the orpahns' home that the child had al
ready been adopted and she could not get
the little one.
The mother told a sad tale in connection
with the effort to get her child. She said
she was married and her husband lived in
G~alesburg, III. Their life was happy. ac-
ccrding to her statement, but her sisters.
who live in this city, persuaded her to
leave him. She consented, without cause.
she says. and the only reason her sisters
advanced was that he was not able TO
support her and keep her in the proper
station of life. She finally consented and
brought her little girl with her to this
city. The mother and child lived with
their married sister for more than a year,
when there was an e-strangement between
her sister and her husband and they
separated. This threw her out of a home.
She says she had no place TO a k the
babe, and earned but So a week, which
was not sufficient to pay its board and keep
OROh SA(
ter, she says, she allowed the sister to take
the baby to the orphans home about three
months ago. She says she has not seen
the child since, admission being denied
her, and that her sister made the visit
Thursday, when the matron informed them
the baby had been adopted.
The mother was almost frantic at times
and asked if there was any way she could
get her child. She says she is going back
to her husband, that he had promised to
forgive her and taxi her back and wanted
to take the baby with her. She says her
husband has written frequently since she
left him, asking her to return, but her
sisters nave kept her from going. Now she
is confident she made a serious mistake
and only asks for her child and another
chance to make a happy home. The or
phaas' home has filed an application for
adoption of the child, which will be heard
by Judge Walker, Of the probate depart
rent, tomorrow morning. The mother was
tcld TO return in time for the hearing and
tell her story to the judge. She says she
did not know any petition had been filed
for the adoption Of her child, and did not
| realize what she was doing when she per-
mitted il to be taken to the home. She
| says her husband earns on an average of s.
a day in the mines, does not drink and
was always kind and provided for all her
necessary wants.
