A Big Shipment Over the Boston and
Elaine,
Five Miles of Harvesting Machines.

HAfo Mhes Oh harvesting Machines.
At this the dawn of the Goth century,
when the business enterprises are as
Stunning such colossal proportions, it is
not surprising to find that the shipments
from these great industrial establish
ments increase proportionately Perhaps
the greatest single shipment on record
was made over the Boston & Maine
Railroad, on May IA, when a train of
IS cars, loaded with machinery from the
Walter a. Wood Moving and Reaping
Machine Company, was shipped from
Hoosic Falls to Chicago. The details of
that shipment are as follows:
The route was over the Boston and
Maine Railroad from Hoosick Falls to
Rotterdam, thence to Buffalo over the
New York Central, and from Buffalo to
Chicago over the Lake Shore and Mich.
gan Southern. SO cars of the last
named road were used to contain the
shipment and were run solid to Chicago,
being distributed from there as follows:
= cars to Illinois; 4 to Missouri; 9 to
Nebraska; to Iowa; s to Minnesota 9
to South Dakota; 1 to Wisconsin; II to
Kansas; to North Dakota. The run
was wholly by daylight, and the train
was decorated with flags and bunting as
well as placards bearing the advertise
ment of the shipper. The train was
given an enthusiastic send-off at Hoosick
Falls. Stores were closed, factories
ceased operations, and whistles, bells
and cannon announced the departure of
this great freight shipment. One of the
Boston and Names most modern
freight locomotives, No. 1855, was used
in hauling the train, which left Hoosick
Falls at 9 u a. m. and arrived at Rot
terdam at 120 p. m. The shipment
consisted of 5000 harvesting machines,
which, if placed end to end, would extend
a distance of FIVE miles. The total way.
billed weight of the shipment was l.
675, 400 pounds, and the freight charges
amounted to $9,692.S2, while the value
of the machines is estimated at aboat
$125, 000 This train occupied about
two days in crossing New York state,
and at every place from starting point to
destination there was great interest mani
tested.

The Passion for Wealth.

Many a man has sacrificed the bes
part of himself in his struggle for sue
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 ambi'
ton. In his mad rush for the almighty
dollar" all that is beautiful in his social
life has been lost sight of. He has de-
veloped his money getting powers, the
faculties which grasp and hold, at the
expense of all his mobiles qualities.
In middle lie, he suddenly awakes to
the fact that he no longer loves music,
that his admiration forpoetry and paint
ing has evaporated. He finds that he
does not linger by the wayside to drink
in the glory Of 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 difficult to carry on conversation in
society as he once did. In fact there is
only one thing in life that yields him
business. In the narrow
rut, between his office or store and his
home, he finds his only joys.-[Orison S.

MEN, WOnEN AND EVENTS.
Caruegie,s Lntest Gift

Andrew Carnegie has given fund oil
$10,O0O,0O0 to the four Scotch univer-
sities-Ednburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and
st. Andrews, for the purpose of giving a
free university education to every Scotch
boy or girl who can pass the entrance
examinations. The benefits of this fund
are to be shared by rich and poor alike,
no distinction is to be made between the
sons and daughters of earls or peasants.
But one stipulation is made, and that is
the benefciaries must be- as Mr.. Carnegie
puts it, his Scottish fellow countrymen.
No English, Irish, colonials or foreigners
are to profit by it. Mr.. Carnegie had for
some years been considering the plan for
helping Scotch students to obtain a
university education. He consulted with
many of the leading educators of Scot
land, and the result was the presentation
OF the fund. The announcement of the
gift has brought out a great deal of favor
able and unfavorable comment in Scot
land and England. The leading Scotch
paper-The Edinburgh Scotsman-says
editorially that Mr.. Carnegies offer is
'disconcerting from its very magni6-
cence, and proceeds to show how the
gift might disorganize the whole educa-
-ional system. The London "Review of
he Week" is particularly bitter against
he project. 1t says:
We trust in Scottish pride to rise in :
is wrath against this invasion of the .
llmlghty dollar. Imagine the duke of ,,
hamilton, Cameron of Lochiel or Mac
Donald OF the Isles allowing his heir to {
ct education at the cost of an American Y
-on monger. Weshall next hear of some 1
hlcago pork packer proposing to buy up
'X'ord and Cambridge and debating
1rms OF admission and the subjects to be
aught; or of Boss Croker forming a
'bby to control the London university,
nth the object of including Tammany
in the mind of the rising genera "
on of cockneys." II II
1t is not at all likely that the univer- 6
ties will decline to accept the gift, for p
'otchmen, from the highest to the low a
'st, have passion for learning, and the d
Ter OF free university system will not W
turned away for any sentimental Il
asons. In another column we give an t.

The death of Gen. Fitz-Toh Porter,

town, N. J., May 81, ended a military
career which began with brightest prom
Use and was blasted, as is now generally
conceded, to shield another. Gen. Porter
was born in Portsmouth, N. H., studied
at Philips Exeter, and was graduated
from West Point in 1916. He served in
the Mexican war with distinction. Early
IN the civil war he was made major
general OF volunteers and commanded
the Filth army corps Those were DAYS
OF great mistakes in the Union army, and
the mistakes which led to Pope's dis
astrous defeat at the second battle of
Bull Kun was charged to Gen. Porter's
failure to obey orders. He was tried bv
court martial and cashiered from the
service. He Immediately set about hav-
ing the case retired, but it was not until
1882 that he received any relief from the
sentence, and not until 1886 was he ex-
onerated from the charges and restored
to the army with the rank of colonel.
Gen. Grant, when president, refused
many petitions to reopen the case, but
after retiring from office studied the case
more thoroughly, and in 1882 published
an article entitled IAN UNDERSIGNED
Stigma" in which he stated his convic-
ton of Gen. Porter's innocence.

A Sidney Carton in Real Life.

In Indianapolis the other day two
negros, William Phelps and James Staple
bury, were working on the inside of an
eight-foot upright boiler, when, by an
accident, the steam was turned on and
poured in on the two men. The ONLY
means of escape was ladder. Phelps
reached the ladder first and took one
step upwards, then, quick as flash, he
jumped aside and shouted "You go first.
Jim; you are married" Jim sprang I'D
the ladder and escaped with q few burns,
Phelps followed, but by the time he
reached the top he was So badly scalded
that the flesh was dropping from his
limbs. He lived for two hours in great
agony. ut was Jim's right to go first"
he said quietly, che is married." There
is little of the romantic in this act, but
who will say that this coored man is
not as great hero as he who in Dickens
"Tale of Two Cities" died that Charles
Barney might be spared to Lucie.

Reports OF the wonderful prosperity Of
Kansas have been frequent during the
past two or three years and now comes
the story that, owing to lack of paupers,
three fortunes have been made from the
poor farm belonging to Finney county.
Five years ago the county purchased
the farm for $4,000 and spent 81 900
tor improvements. A contract was then
made, with man to run the farm. and
from it support all paupers without ex-
pense to the county After short time
1T became known that the contractor
had, although perfectly honest, saved
$4,000 in the deal. He was removed
ana his successor made similar fortune
Also Then contract was made with a
county othcer to act as superintendent,
ana IN two years he had saved $500
Now the institution is looked after bv
salaried superintendent and the county
will make about $4,000 from the farm.
This year the poor house at present has
but one inmate. What is the matter
with Kansas?
John Riley Tanner, ex governor of
Illinois died at Springfield Thursday
His career was rather an unusual one.
In earlier life, while he was working out
his poll tax on country road, he killed
a companion with a shovel. He was
convicted and sentenced to death, but on
a new trial he was acquitted. He served
in the Civil war and afterwards became
prominent in the republican party in
Illinois. President Cleveland removed
nm from public office twice for offensive
Partlsanshlp. He held his place as a
party leader in 1896 was elected govern
or OF the state over John P. Altgeld. In
1898 Governor Tanner came into motor
iety, because of his attitude in the
famous Virden coal strike when he re.
fused the operators the service of the
state militia IN protecting their works.

HEBREWS ATTITUDE ToWGRD SUNDAY.

The injustice of forcing dry Sunday In this

The Injustice OF leaving the rich man at liberty 10

privilege of buying glass Of beer Sunday is
equally obvious.
But viewing this matter from the Jewish stand
point, the saloon question Is OF minor Importance.
Jews Is a rule are such temperate people that II
matters little TO them whether they at liberty
