CHARLES p. CLARK.

Charles p. Clark who died yesterday
in Nice, did not live long after he laid
down the burden which had grown too
heavy for him. 1t is less than a year
and half since he sought rest and an
opportunity to reeuperate. His friends
hoped that with relief from the carklng
cares of his great office he would find
firm health and length of days But the
end has come.
Mr.. Clark will be chiefly remembered
for his work as President of the Con-
soldated railroad. The magnitude and
the importance Of that work have long
been recognized, and it would not be
easy to overestimate them. He came
to the road we'll equipped. He was
man of large IDEAS large courage and
thought and quick in action. He saw
clearly what the prosperity of the road
demanded, and he did not hesitate to
act accordingly, even at times in the
face of slow conservatism and hostile
criticism. The result has vindicated
his Judgment and his foresight. He
found the road small and not in good
shape to adequately do the business
that was in sight. He left it large,
amply equipped and fully up to the
times. Those who use the road owe
him a debt of gratitude which they do
not always think of when they buy
their tickets or pay their freight bills.
Mr. Clark was hearty, courteous
even tempered man. He was just and
kind to his subordinates who respected
his great ability and relied on his in
tegrity and goodwill He was enthu-
sastc in his work and inspired enthu-
siasm in those associated with him.
The news Of his, death will cause sorrow
all over the great system which he did
so much to build up, and many of those
in it will mourn the loss Of a
staunch friend

REGU1ARs AND PENSIONS.

An interesting argument in favor OF
large standing army is made by H.
Clay Evans, commissioner of pensions
He has been making an analysis of PEN
| sion figures TO find out what proportion
! of pensions Is due to the service of vol
unteers and what proportion is due to
| the service of regulars. As a result of
| his inquiry he declares that from
money standpoint, it would be cheaper
for the government to maintain rea-
sonably large standing army than to
depend on volunteers in time of war.
More than nine tenths of the pensioners
now on the pension roll are volunteers,
or the widows, children and other de-
pendents of volunteers. The surprising
discovery was made by Commissioner
from the regular army from 1861 up to
January l, 1901, amounts to only $4,000.
This includes enlisted men, officers,
their widows and dependents, and takes
into consideration the service through
the civil war, through the Indian wars
that followed and through the war with
Spain and the campaign in the Philip
pines All of the other pensioners that
go to make up the grand total of 100000
are due to the volunteers.
OF course regulars are better able to
take care of themselves in the field
than volunteers Another reason why
fewer pensions grow out of the service
of regulars is found in the fact that the
War department authorities discourage
the enlisted men from marrying, thus
creating fewer widows and children to
put in claims for pensions later on. 1t
frequently happens that when a regular
is wounded he goes to the hospital and
RECEIVERS and continues in the service.
AS long as he remains in the army he
is not eligible for pension.

Mr.. Rowe on Mr.. WalIace's Arithm ettr nj
Argument.

|
To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
Mr.. Wallace's yesterdays communica-
ton abounds in figures. and may well be
termed an arithmetical argument His
conclusions being based on his arith-
metic l will analyze his last and most
conclusive problem.
| His first erroneous assumption we
Twill designate "a" He says that per
cent of $4,000 Is $95. My arithmetic
makes 1t $3.50.
| His second incorrect ASSUMPTION we
will call 3D." and is that property of
an assessable value of 100000 cannot be
sold for over $4,000. Let us reason this
somewhat mechanically on Mr.. Wal
lace's assumption.
First-Its lawful assessable value is
it's present market value"
Second-Its present market value"
is, of course, what it will at present sell
for in the market
Third--Its present market value" Is
he says, $4,000.
Combining two and & rec his state
ment equals
Four-Property will sell at present in
the market for 100000
Five-But he assumes that it will sell
for no more than $4,000.
Therefore, siX-He assumes that prop
erty which will at present sell for $780,
900 will not sell at present for over $12-
000
1t is unnecessary to follow this rea-
soning further.
&C." Mr.. Wallace assumes that the
$4,000 bid will necessarily secure the
property I think not If the property,
according to Mr.. Wallace's premises,
has a present market value" of $4,000
in other words, will sell at present for
$40, 000-then someone will bid $4,000
and the property will be sold, not to
"A's" fellow conspirator 3D." but to
someone else.
2. But suppose, for the purpose of ar
gument, we discard our reductio ad alb
surdum in paragraph ''B" and we admit
that the property will not at present
sell for within $1,000 of its present
market value" namely, $4,000, and
that 'B" buys the property at $4,000
This he must do, because If the prop
erty will sell at present for 500, 900 it
will certainly sell at present for $4,000,
so there must be bids to at least that
3. Now suppose we admit Mr. Wal
laces assumption that what will sell for
900 will not sell for $4,000. Then
Mr. Wallace figures out a successful
swinde to the city in twenty years of
S., 255. Mr.. Wallace's arithmetic being
different from mine, as shown under |
a." I will figure this:
Bidder "B'' forfeits to city one-half
of per cent. of $4,000, equals. $475 |
Taxes reduced-$2C0 900 less $4,000
equals $S,OO0@15 mills Equals. 100
Net loss to "A" and "B". S355 |
Gross profit to Observation-Disclosures. $355 |
Less expense '................. B |
Net profit to city,, $3.50 |
Mr. Wallace figures out the swinde |
to the city in twenty years at $5,255. l |
figure net profit first year to city $780, |

Gypsy souls,

There is a secret brotherhood, whose rules
Are never framed, whose watchword is un.
known,
Whose. dogmas flourish not in learned
schools,
Whose creed is but a precept to disown
The wisdom of world that names them
A band where brother scarce encounters
brother,
But treads the maze alone,
Doubtful OF life's enrichment with another
To share his thought, bruised In the human
press,
And us the rowing wind companonless
But, here and there, two kindred dreamers
meet,
And straightway learn to talk the common
tongue,
And wake strange fancics from their dim
retreat,
And know the throb Of hearts sublimey
Moving together with responsive beat,
And murmur bars of old forgotten ditties
That all their tribe have sung
Since the good days before the birth Of
Had made the cody new. commercial man,
And scared abroad their dwindling caravan.
For they are born the children of race
Furnished on earth with no abiding home;
Whose dreams fly out to ask a dwelling
place
OF shifting desert sands, or ocean foam;
Who build up castles on Il sunbeam base,
And gather unregarded bloom of pleasure
As DER llfe's field they roam,
Rating above the boards of valued treasure
That one rare thing no garnered gold has
bought,
True freedom shrlned In palaces of thought

NOBLE CHICAGO PLAN.

Minister WI was perhaps not as
much impressed by Chicago as he was
expected to be, but that didn't disturb
| Chicago. She knows her own worth.
Just now she is congratulating herself,
and with good reason, on the plan
which has been made for the adornment
of the lake front. There is a John
| Crerar library fund in Chicago, and an
ordnance which has just been passed
| by the city council permits the library
| trustees to erect a library Building on
the lake front between Madison and
Monroe streets. This will cost $1,000
900 and will occupy a site with $50 feet
frontage in Michigan avenue and a
depth of $40 feet, extending east to the
right of way of the Illinois Central rail-
road. The grant Is made to conform to
carefully prepared plans for chain Of
imposing and artistic structures on the
lake front, of which the Art Institute,
Field Columbian museum, Crerar
library and a municipal building are to
form parts The artistic beauty of the
plan will be still further heightened by
the building of Bridge of Arts from
the Art Institute across the Illinois
Central tracks, to be used to connect
the main building with the school
building which is to be built east of the
Illinois Central right of way. The site
originally chosen for the Crerar library
which is almost opposite the public
library building, will be reserved for
city hall, which must be constructed in
the near future to meet the municipal
requirements of the city Still further
opportunities for elnbellishment of the
lake front are presented in the provision
of the Crerar will, which set aside
100000 to be expended for a statue of
Abraham Lincoln as soon as a suitable
site could be secured. This sum has
now increased to $150,0OO, and the
colossal statue will probably be erected
somewhere on the site that has been
voted to the trustees by the city coun-
ell.
This is certainly noble scheme, and
it is not to be wondered at that Chi
cago is feeling proud Of it.

Law WITH Il LESSON IN 1T.

Laws don't always work as they are
expected to. For instance, the legisa-
tors of Wisconsin got a notion that 1t
would be a good thing to pass law
permitting the county Judge to send to
gold-cure institutions impecunious ine-
briates, the county to pay the bills,
which were not to exceed $3.50 for each
patient AT once institutions of this
character sprang up all over the State
and agents were sent out to obtain pa
tents. In some instances the victims
Of drink were allowed liberal commits
sions for the use Of their names. Mil
waukee county alone sent 1873 patients
In only two cases were the costs Of
treatment paid, that being done by the
patients themselves. Payment was re-
sisted in Milwaukee county, and the SUI
preme court sustained the county's po-
sition on the ground that the law was
not a legitimate exercise Of the police
power, and that it involved the imposi-
ton of a tax for the benefit of individ-
uals and institutions not legitimate OBJ
jects of public charity This decision
and the repeal of the law came two
years after it's enactment, and mean
while the cura tive institutions had sold
their claims on the counties to mer-
chants, bankers and others, in most
cases at their face value. These claims
aggregate an estimated $4,000. The
holders would be pleased to settle on a
basis of forty cents on the dollar, and
the present legislature is asked to APP
propriate 100000 to make partial resti-
tuition.

The Gordon Memorial college building
at Khartoum of which the foundation
was laid a year ago, is now nearing
completion. The first story is to be
used for technical and high-grade pri-
mary school; the second and higher will
contain laboratories, library, museum,
sleeping quarters, etc. The income from
the endowment of over 100000 sub
scribed in England is ample, but Sin a
country where there is little wood and
few carpenters" progress is slow and
the approach of hot weather does not
quicken work. Nothing has yet been
done in the direction Of laying out the
grounds, which cover an area of about
eight acres, so that at least year will
probably elapse before the whole design
is perfected. But that does not preclude
beginning being made, and the vari-
GUS departments are being utilized as
they become ready.

Queen Victoria was very anxious that
the royal farms at Windsor should be
carried on by her successor, and she
has left her famous herds of Shorthorn,
Devon and Hereford cattle to King Ed
ward. The Shaw and Flemish farms
were established by the prince consort,
and they have been principally devoted
to the breeding of pedigree stock and
for many years past the queen had been
large prize winner at the leading
shows. The dispersion of the royal
herds would have been a national loss
but they will be fully maintained in
every respect by King Edward. The
queen also had farms at Osborne and
at Abergeldie Mains, where there is a
very fine herd of pure-bred Aberdeen
Angus cattle.

WHOSE BABY ARE YOU?"

The general verdict Of the theater-
going pubiic this season is that Mark
Il. Swans thren-act farce Whose
Baby Are You?" that is billed to make
its first appearance here Friday even
ing. January 4, at Doris theater, is
the funniest and cleverest piece Of
farcical construction that has been
seen on the. Stage for several years.
The piece was built for laugh making
purposes only. That is Its only excus,
for existence. 1t is to be considered as
a sort Of dramatic patent medicine to
cure the blues and It Is an accepted
fact by most physicians thaiJ next to
fresh air and sunshine, laughter is ma
ture's cure for all mental ills. Whose
Baby Are You?" Is n sort Of jolly hur-
rah from start to finish. The story Is
a complicated and a funny one. The
characters are said to be the incarna-
ton of the spirit Of humor. A clever
company of farcsurs direos from New
New York interpret the farce. Several
new ana clever features are introduced
and the entertainment from begin
ming to end is bright and sparkling In
the extreme.
