GAVE UP FORTUNE TO REST

John Dupee, Commission Man, Sur
prises Chicago by Retiring.
The philosophy Of John Dupee. head
Of the firm Of Schwartz, Dupee & Co.,
the heaviest dealers in grain and stocks
west of New York, astonished Chicago
recently, says the New York World.
Mr.. Dupee says he ,abandons profit
Of 100000 ayear to get rest. Chica-
go cannot understand a vacation on
those terms.
II should have stopped ten years
ago." said Mr.. Dupee. 81 would rather
have a year in the woods than $780,
600. That is all have to say. The
time to stop is when philosophy tells
o man he has enough. 1t depends upon
how a man lives. had enough years
ago, but my friends kept me in. rec
ognize there is something in life besides
money making. l love nature, and to
nature go for stimulation and rest"
John Dupee has been famous in Chi
cago and in Wall street for years as a
commission man, an adept in forming
influential connections, in getting at
the facts as to great financial deals
and in making his people money. His
own great wealth and the magnifcence
Of his entertaining have been factors.
He is ffty-efght years old.
Mr.. Dupee has acquired a fortune Of
several million dollars and taste for
spending his summers at his beautiful
home at Oconomowoc, Wis. rather
than in business. His relations with
the Moores and with high railroad Off
Gals have given his house high pres
tge.

He HAD ENOUGH.
How an Author ssRubbed It Into" a
Chicago Publisher.

Chicago Publisher
They tell an amusing story on Henry
M. Hyde, whose new book, "One For
ty-two,,.' just published by Herbert S.
Stone & Co., treats in a clever way of
an untouched side of city life. A few
years ago, it seems, Mr.. Hyde was sent
for by a Chicago publisher who wanted
to get out volume OF golf stories. He
thought Mr.. Hyde was the man to
write them to order, but he wished
to make certain before he committed
himself completely. Without signing
a contract he persuaded Mr.. Hyde to
write him couple of stories and send
them to his Office by way Of getting
started. A week later the stories came
back with . note that for directnesg
and force would be hard to surpass.
"Don't write any more of that rot" It
said. Nobody but fool would print
stories like these"
Mr.. Hyde sent one of the tales thus
rejected to Harper's, and it was print
ed month or two later in Harper's
Bazaar. Mr.. Hyde marked copy Of
The Bazaar and sent it to the Chicago
publisher with note which read: RE
ferring to your last letter, here's one
fool. More to come" A little later the
second of the stories was published in
The Smart Set, and again copy went
forward labeled "Fool No. q" After a
third story had been written, publish
ed, marked and forwarded the publish
er in question sent an answer to Mr..
Hyde by special delivery. "Let up" it
said. What's the use Of rubbing it in?

cARNEelE's OFFER OF TEN. MIL.
LIONS FOR EDUCATION NOT
a CASH GIFT.
PRESIDENT IS EMBARRASSED

Fears the Acceptance Of Stock in the
Big Corporation Might Subject the
Administration to Criticisms Now
in Correspondence With Mr.. carne
gle to the End That the Bonds Be
Converted Into Cash.
Washington, Dec. 13.--It transpires
that the gift of S1O,0O0,O00 which An
drew Carnegie rendered to President
Roosevelt for the founding of a great
Institution for higher education was
not an offer of 100000 in cash, but
the par value Of that amount in bonds
of the United States Steel corpora,
ton. The offer Of these bonds is en-
barrassing to the administration ow-
ing to the complications which might
arise if the government accepted them,
and the president, it is understood, is
now in correspondence with Mr.. Car
negie about the matter. 1t is under
stood to be his desire that the bonds
be converted into cash If this is
done the only obstacle in path of the
acceptance of the generous gift of Mr..
Carnegie will be removed. Pending
the result of this correspondence Mr..
Carnegie's offer is being withheld from
congress. The president has conferred
with several prominent senators and
about the matter with
in the past day or two and all concur
with him in the belief that acceptance
by the government of the bonds of the
big steel corporation might subject
the administration to criticism and
might prove exceedingly embarrassing
in the future. 1t is pointed out, for
instance, that in the event of legal pro-
ceedings by the department. of justice
against the corporation the holding OF
The company's bonds by the govern
ment might lead to adverse criticism.
The suggestion that the government
accept the bonds and then dispose Of
Them is considered equally objections
able.

cadiz at the Mercy Of Revolutionary
Mob.

Cadiz, Dec. .13.-This city was in a
state of partial revolution practically
all night long. Riotous mobs, led by
striking bakers, armed with knives
and bludgeons, pillaged stores, at
tackled peaeeable people in the streets,
injured a number of persons, threw the
whole town into a state of panic and
made the night hideous with shouts
of "Long live the social revolution, !"
and down with the bourgeoise." The
police were powerless to QueH the dis
turbance.
After a series Of severe encounters,
during which many persons on both
sides were injured, the gendagmes re-
stored a semblance of order.

ON HORSEBACK TO CHICAGO

Cavalryman VIII Try to Ride From
New York In n Week ON One Horse.
Can man ride horseback from New

Theodore Molkinten, once crack
horseman of the German army, says
he will break the worlds record for
long distance riding by performing this
feat. Molkinten is daring young fell

he is. fonder Of horses and adventure

countries have taken great interest In

'sand the record of the world Is now
held by cavalryman in the German
army, who rode from Berlin to Vienna

York to Chicago the distance is greater,
but L propose to- make the trip on one

Molkinten's proposition is far more.

Reiterates the Governments Determin-

in Spite of All opposition-Besides

Bill VIII Procure Work at Good
Wages for the Toilers.
Berlin, Dec. .13.-In the reiohstag
the imperial secretary of state for the
interior, Count Won Posadowslzy-
Wehner, made a general reply to the
critics of the tariff bill. He reiterated
the governments determination to
carry the matter Through and said that
besides other advantages it had the
social-political object of procuring
work and good wages for the toilers.
The secretary adduced figures show
ing how the customs tariff of 1879 in
creased production and the demand
for labor. He deprecated the fight THAT
was being made against wealthy land
owners, though personally he favored
the formation of peasant holdings out
of large estates. The secretary also
favored commercial treaties of long
duration.
The reichstag, the speaker declared,
now stood at the parting of the ways.
The adoption of the bill was calculated
TO assist the commercial treaties while
its defeat would Leave the government
weakened weapons with which to con-
duct negotiations.
After the tariff bin had been re-
ferred to a committee of 20 members
the reichstag adjourned until Jan. 8.
