The Passion for Wealth.

Many a man has sacrificed the best
part of himself in his struggle for suc-
cess. He has given up his friendship,
torn up all the tender ties of his early
years, sacrificed everything which he
then held dear, to the goal of his am
bition. In his mad rush for the "al-
mighty dollar" all that is beautiful in
his social life has been lost sight of.
He has developed his money-getting
powers, the faculties which grasp and
hold, at the expense of all nobler
qualities.
In middle life he suddenly awakens
to the fact that he no longer loves
music; hat his admiration for poetry
and painting has evaporated. He
finds that he does not linger by the
wayside to drink in the glory of a
sunset as he used to do. He no longer
cares to lie on his back in the grass
and study the stars. He finds it diff
cult to carry on conversation in soci-
ETY. as he once did. In fact, there is
only one thing in life that yields him
pleasure-his business. Inthe narrow
rut, between his office or store and
his home he finds his only joYs,-E1.

shown by me-" said Mr.. Fagan; II do
not know when will announce them, but
all will be treated alike"

WILL DEMAND AUTOPSY
Stories of a Hold Up Abous
Two Weeks Ago And Ac-
cident in a Bath.
WILL DEMAND AUTOPSY

The mysterious death of ex-Freeholder
Adam G. Smith, yesterday afternoon, has
given rise to rumors that the popular
Hudson City politician was murdered and
did not die of pneumonia as stated by
some of his friends.
The brother of the deceased, William
Smith, stated last night that he would
apply to County Physician Converse to-
have an autopsy performed. He said b
believed that Adams death was cauS
by blow on the head which he recei1
about two weeks ago when he was held
up and robbed on his way to his home
one night. 1t is known that Smith at
that time had a severe scalp wound that
seventeen stitches were required to join
together. The explanation offered by his
friends at the time was to the effect that
Smith in diving into the plunge in a New
York Turkish bath had struck his head
on the marble bottom infiicting the ugly
wound
William Smith says he does not belieye
this story and if the autopsy reveals that
his brothers death was due to other than
natural causes he will use every effort TO
ferret out those responsible for his death
and see that they are properly punished.
There is considerable mystery surround
ing Smiths death and a disposition on
the part of his friends to be very reticent
in discussing it.
