A GREAT BUSINESS.

1t Is doubtful if anybody in the country,
outside of the Carnegie Steel Company,
had an idea of the vast net earnings of
that company before Mr.. Frick, it's former
general manager, filed his suit against it.
A synopsis of the petition in the suit was
published in our dispatches yesterday.
From Mr.. Tricks statement the profits
Of the company in 1899 were S21, 600 900 and
Mr.. Carnegie estimated that they would
amount to fully 100000 this year. Mr.
Carnegie is a very rich man outside of his
interest in his steel company, of which he
owns IS per cent. His income from his
interest in the steel company last year
was about S12,OOO,OOO. This year it will
probably be full $2S 100000. With such an
immense income Mr.. Carnegie can well
afford to give many more millions of dol
lars to libraries and schools than he does
and yet hardly make an impression on his
annual income.
Mr.. Frick quotes Mr. Carnegie as having
said that he could sell the Carnegie Steel
Company in London for $500 900, 900. If he
can do that it is probable that he is rich
er man than the head of the Standard Oil
Company-that he is, In fact, the richest
man in the world. The sale Of the plant
at these figures would give him something
like $500 100000, and 1t is probable that he
has fully s1OO 100000 outside of his interest
in the steel works.
In view of such immense fortunes as
those of Mr. Carnegie and Mr.. Rockefel-
ler-fortunes accumulated within the life
of a single individual-t is not surprising
that there is growing feeling against
trusts, feeling that too much wealth is
being concentrated in few hands.

THE QUAY CASE NEXT.

1t Is expected that the Senate will act
upon the financial bill to-day and that
Mr.. Quay's friends will make an effort
to have the Senate take up his case on
Friday. 1t is by no means certain that
1t will do so, however. In fact, the
chances are that it will not There are
other matters which the Republican lead
ers regard as of very much more import
ance.
Some of Mr.. Quay's friends say that his
case can be disposed of in a day or two
after it has been brought before the Sen
ate. Evidently they do not mean what
they say or else they do not know what
the feeling in the Senate in regard 10 this
case is. 1t is believed that they are sim
ply talking for effect; that they know that
Mr.. Quay does not expect to get the seat
he claims
In Pennsylvania 1t is freely talked
among the Republican leaders that Mr..
Quay will not be seated. 1t seems to be
admitted, however, that he will be able
to name the man who will get the sena-
torship. Christopher l. Magee of Pitts
burg is said to be the man Mr.. Quay will
name as the one on whose shoulders the
senatorial mantle shall be placed.
If Mr.. Quay should name Mr.. Magee he
would, in all probability, be elected. In
that event Mr.. Wanamaker would be
greatly disappointed. Mr. Wanamaker
does not of course expect any assistance
from MIR. Quay, they being bitter enemies,
but he has been hoping that If Mr. Quay
did not succeed in getting into the Senate
the Legislature would be called together
to elect a senator and that he would be
the choice of that body. 1t appears TO be
well understood among the politicians of
Pennsylvania, however. that Mr.. Wanna
maker has no chance for getting the posi-
ton. Mr.. Quay will see to it that Mr.
Wanamaker does not get another Office in
Pennsylvania, except that of superintend-
ent of Sunday school. If the Senate
does not give Mr.. Quay the seat he is
claiming it is probable that the Legisla-
ture will elect Mr.. Magee.

Senator Baker of Kansas. says the Wash
ington Star. that he had ever been the
target of would-be murderer-a murder
er, in fact. The Senator will tell you that
his good nature saved him from an I'M
timely end The story is an interesting
one.
A dozen or more years ago an unprin-
cipaled young fellow named Thurston was
tried in Leavenworth on a charge Of MUIR
der. Baker, then a member of the Lea
wentworth bar, defended Thurston. and,
after an exciting trial, secured his acquit-
tai
Two years afterward Thurston quarrel
ed with Editor Anthony of 'Leavenworth
because of the publication by the latter
of an article which cast some reflection
upon him. They met on the main street
and Thurston, without warning, whipped
out a gun and began firing. Anthony es-
capped injury, but one of the bullets went
clean through Senator Baker, who was
about rod and a half away, talking with
a friend.
Baker had been listening to a funny
story. The point was reached simultan-
eously with Thurstons firing. In burst
of laughter Baker threw his body back
ward The bullet struck the fieshy part
of his left arm and passed on through the
left lung. For several weeks he lowered
between life and death. To-day. he is ap-
parently as well preserved as any man in
the United States Senate. Thurston was
convicted of shooting with intent to kill
and was given long term in the state
prison. T.

President James ]. Hill of the Great
Northern Railroad, has a plan for abolish
ing trusts. He says; THE way TO abolish
trusts is to make stockholders Hable;'
compel the corporation to demonstrate to
the legal authorities that every share is
sued has been fully paid up on par
basis. Every stockholder should be made
responsible for ultimate losses in double
the amount of par value of the stock held
by him. Thus it would happen" says Mr..
Hill, that every time man of property
put out a share of stock from an organized
trust he would be liable not only for the
money which he had already put in, but
for as much more in case any loss was
sustained by the public on account of the
organization" With such plan in force
the probabilities are that the trust pro-
motors would have to quit business. They
could not induce men OF means to 80 into

An elephant enjoys joke as well as
anybody. says the Chicago Record.
huge elephant was kept in the Paris Zoo.
He lived in a great Enclosure out in the
open air. so that he had plenty of room TO
roam about.
In the same inclosure was large hippo
potamus, for whose comfort and amuse-
nrent great stone basin had been built
and filled with water, and the hippopota-
mus, in turn, furnished amusement for
The elephant. 1t was early one morning.
before the hour for admitting the public
10 the garden-when privileged visitor
noticed the elephant walking round on the
stone edge of the basin, curiously watch
ing the hippopotamus.
He felt sure that the elephant was up to
some prank-and was not mistaken, for,
just as soon as the ears of the hippopota-
mus came into view, the elephant quickly
seized one of them with his trunk and
gave it a sudden pull The enraged hip
popotamus lifted his ponderous head clear
of the water and snorted and blew, but
every time he rose to take breath the ele-
plant recommended his antics. Round
and round the playful beast went, keep
ing a sharp lookout for the little ears of
the hippopota mus. which he seized the
moment they appeared His evident de-
light in teasing his huge neighbor was
comical, and there could be no doubt that
he thoroughly enjoyed 1t.
Then the keeper placed some food for
the hippopotamus in a corner of the in
closure, and at once the hippopotamus be-
gan to leave the water to get it; but the
elephant slowly ambled over to the same
corner, and arrived there first He plac-
ed his fore feet over the favorite food in
such way that the hippopotamus could
not get at il, gently swaying his trunk
backward and forward, and acting alto
gether as though he were there accident
ally, until the garden was thrown open
to the public, and he went forward to re-
ceive the daily contributions of bread,
cake and buns which were always offered

Caricatmre In a Map.

Take the large official map of the West
Florida coast, printed for the government
in 1885, said an ex-federal employe to a
New York Journal reporter, 'and run your
pencil carefully along the boundary line,
southwark from Tampa bay.
You will find the peninsula there makes
all sorts of extraordinary turns and twists
and presently, if you look sharp, you will
run across grotesque portrait of a man,
formed entirely by the line of the shore
THE face is round and fat with bot
tie nose and bristling moustache, while q
little lake indicated near the edge, makes
comical staring eye. The arm of a
small bay suggests the outline of a neck
and chest, and two or three diminutive ISL
ends are located at just the right places
to do duty for buttons. Altogether it
looks Ike caricature of some pompous
little officer, and according to tradition
in the bureau of survey, that is exactly
what it was intended to be.
LAS the story goes, one of the drauGhts-
rnen who did the work for the 'S6 map
claimed to have been badly treated by o
certain fussy little captain in general
charge and to get even he worked this
caricature portrait of him into the out
line of the coast. The thing was done
with such diabolical ingenuity that the
Captain himself passed the map without
noticing the hidden picture.
Later on, when it was observed and
recognized, the draughtsnan insisted bland
ly that the resemblance was a mere coihci-
denee and he had simply followed the nat
ural confguration of the peninsula.
IF it happens to correspond to the
Captains profile, / am surely not respon-
sible,' he said. L cannot change the
coast of a state on account of the shapa
of his nose.
"Of course the Captain was furious, and
the whole department roared with laugh
ter. 1t is significant fact that the later
maps do not contain the caricature."

Fen the mighty winds of centuries these

This hallowed spot they've guarded. like
sentinels untired,
What army not immortal such soldiers
have inspired?
Thy gray and trailing MOSES seem weep

And when God sends His showers, with

Who've won the crown of laurel, and here

But who are sleeping meath the branches

Until the Father wakes them, and they

When God they'll praise in melody that

For they'n all be given voices, like the

day." remarked a downtown real estate
agent, according to the Boston Journal,
land said he and his wife had been look
ing at one of my houses, and he liked it
very much.
"Tu bring her in tomorrow he con-

house is rented.

"It will be- said the man, if you do
as tell you. My wife never wants any
thing unless she thinks she can't get it.
If she thinks she can't get this house,
she'll want it right away
Sure enough, he brought her in the
next day, and the trick worked to perfec-
ton. 1t took me two or three days to
persuade my imaginary customer that he
could live somewhere else, and the wo-
man was pleased enough when 1 an
nounced that l had been successful"
