Rockefeller's Wealth.

New proof OF the probable truth Of
Andrew Carnegie's statement that
John d. Rockefeller is the wealthiest
man in the world was given in ar Of
Ter of $500 a share for 500 shares Of
Standard Oil stock made in the
Waldorf Astoria Hotel, New York, by
Congressman Jefferson M. Levy. AT
this value the holdings of Mr.. Rookie.
feller IN the Standard Oil company
must be worth approximately $a26,-
100000. The company is capitalized
at $Ioo, 900, valued at the price
offered at $500, 900. MIR. Rock
efeler, according to common report,
holds one-third Of the total number of
shares, which seem therefore, to have
a market value of more than $226,
100000.
If Mr.. Rockefeller had increased his
wealth in no other direction than
through his Standard Oil stock dur
ing the last year, he would still be
worth about $95,coo, 900 more then
he was year ago. Standard Oil stock
was $4s4 a share In the market on
November "a, 1899, and $739 share
was bid for it in the market on Sat-
urday, the corresponding date of this
year.
Mr.. Rockefeller's annual income
from his holdings of Standard Oil
stock is estimated at about $I6,ooo,-
900. This is his share Of the 4S pei
cent. dividends paid on the capita
stock of $roo, 900, 900, but it is esti
mated that he receives several million
OF dollars a year from his other invest
ments.

Over 1900 Cattle Killed.

State Secretary of Agriculture John
Hamilton has given out some inter-
ssting figures concerning tuberculosis
among cattle in Pennsylvania. Dur
ing the past year, according to re.
port of State Veterinarian Leonard
Pearson, which he is about to make
public, the number Of cattle tested
for the disease was 9,27% OF which
I,a27 were killed. The amount paid
10 owners of the Infected animals
$28.330.5o, or an average of $2S.io
a head. Secretary Hamilton says
that when the present law went into
effect four years ago, twenty-five per
cent. of the herds examined were
found to be more or less infected,
while now not ten per cent. OF the
herds examined have the disease. The
law provides that not more than $25
a head can be paid for ordinary cattle
and not more than $50 head for
registered stock.

A MOTHERS SACRIFICE.
Had Flesh Cut From Her Back and GRATED
10 Little Daughters Forehead.

An operation tina, has but few par
alels in surgery was performed Friday
by DR.. S. S. Koser, OF Willamsport.
The three year old daughter of J. M.
Poust, of Muncy, was born with a
terrible birthmark which almost en-
tlrely covered her forehead. From it
grew lot of coarse hair.
The child's mother cheerfully
agreed to sacrifice herself for her Off
spring. Both we're chloroformed at
the same time. The brthmark was
then cut away. Then with a block
tin pattern previously designed strip
of skin and flesh exactly the size of
that taken from the child's forehead,
fifteen and FIVE eighths inches in cir.
cumference, to be exact, was taken
from the mothers back and fitted
snugly into the place where the birth
mark formerly existed and stitched
fast.
The mothers wound was then GOV.
cred by numerous small hips from
other portions of her body. The
operation gives every promise OF sue
cess, and as a case Of actual transfer
ence from the body Of another to the
face successfully, with underlying
tissues, probably stands without par.
allel in surgery.

He Owned a Lot.
But |, Was in the Cemetery at DooIeyvilIe.

Judge Savidge was up against a
new proposition the other day that
dazed him for moment and that has
taught him a trick which he will re-
member. 1t will be recalled that DUR
ing the last naturalization court His
Honor laid down rule to the effect
that all foreigners owning property
would be entitled to full naturaliza-
ton papers. His Honor argued that
if they possessed property that was an
incentive to remain residents of the
country and by granting them citizen
ships they would be desirable as resi-
dents. All who did not own prop
erty were put through the customary
rigorous examination. In consequence
many became citizens via the property
route. 1t is now remembered that a
great many owned lots on Marion
Heights; in fact, enough to occupy the
town from Hickory Ridge to Natalie.
The other day he listened to Mt.
Carmel foreigners plea for papers
and the fellow gave the usual response
of having and holding a lot. "Where
is this lole" demanded the judge. "Oh
near Dooleyville," was the answer.
His Honor happened 10 know some,
thing of the topography of the local
vicinity and he continued "You near
a cemetery lot, don't your" eyes sir!

know how soon he was going to occu
by it. His petition was refused. E'

New Placer Location Law.

The recent legislature passed a new law in reference to the To- cation of mining claims in this territory. The law of 1895 is practically re-enacted in the mat ter of quartz claims but new pro visions were enacted in regard to the location of placer claims, which are as follows
 "The locator of a placer min ing claim shall locate his claim in the following manner: By posting a location notice thereon containing the name of the claim, the name of the locator or lOca- tors, the date of location and the number of acres claimed, a de scription of the claim with refer ence to some natural object or permanent monument that will identify the claim, by making the boundaries of his claim with a post or monument of stones at each angle of the claim located. When a post is used it must be at least four inches by four feet six inches in length, set one foot in the ground and surrounded by a mound of stone or earth.
 "Where it is practically i'm possible on account of a bed of rock or precipitous ground to sink such posts, they may be placed in a pile of stones. And if for any reason it is impossible to erect or maintain a post or monument of stone at any angle of such claim, a witness post or monument to be placed as near the true corner as the nature of the ground will permit. When a mound of stone is used it must be at least three feet in height and four feet in diameter at the base.
 "1'he locator of any placer claim shall, within sixty days after the date of location of such claim, have a copy of the loca- tiOn notice claim recorded in the office of the county recorder of the county in which said placer claim be situated. Any record of the location of a placer mining claim which shall not contain all the requirements of this section shall be void"

A how in the Temne school

A boy in the Tempe school was suspended for reading the following essay on pants:
 "Pants are made for man, and not man for pants. When man pants for a woman and woman pants for man, it is a pair of pants. Such pants can't last. Pants are like mOlasSes; they are thinner in hot weather and thicker in cold. The man in the moon changes his pants during the eclipse.
 "Don't go to the pantry for pants, you might be mistaken Men are often mistaken in pants, and such mistakes make brooches of promise. There Is much dis cussiOn as to whether pants IS singular or plural. When a man wears pants they are plural, but when he doesn't wear pants, 1t Is singular"
