TROUBLES OF WEALTH.

There are several reasons why 1t would
be better for a man who has a large
amount of wealth to distribute It during
his lifetime. 1t seems to be almost inn
possible to draw a will that cannot be
broken, or which is not in some respect
so faulty as to invite attempts to
break it,
1t is now predicted that there will be
a squabble between the states of New
York and New Jersey over the inherit
ance tax that is due from the estate Of
Jacob S. Rogers, who died in Paterson
a few days ago. leaving an estate esti-
mated to be worth between 100000 and
s10.00oO00. If II is worth the latter amount
the inheritance tax will be $4,000. II
MIR. Rogers was a resident of New Jer-
sey that state will get the tax, but if
his residence was in New York then the
latter state will get 1t. Mr. Rogers lived
the greater part of his life in Paterson,
n. j., but in his will he mentions him
self as being a resident of New York. lie
and in every one of the codicils. the last
one of which was written by himself only
a few months before his death 1t is an
open question, therefore, whether New
York or New Jersey will get the half a
million OF dollars inheritance tax. The
tween them.
1t is not known yet whether or not
the viii will be contested. 1t is the be-
lief of the executors that it will. There
are some features of 1t that a court
might think sufficient to declare IT void.
MIR. Rogers. it is reported, was extreme
ly anxious that his will should be so
drawn that it could not be broken. He
wanted his wealth distributed as he di-
reoted. 1t would be a striking illustra-
ton of a mans inability to do what he
pleased with his wealth if the win should
be broken and his property distributed in
accordance with the law.
A man who gives away his property
during his life time has the satisfaction
of knowing that he has put the money
where he wanted ii TO be. Besides. he
gets whatever satisfaction there is In
making large donations. 1t is true that
mans wealth may be so great that
he cannot give it all away. to his own
satisfaction, in a life time. Mr., Carnegie
has been giving away his wealth for
many years, and yet he has more now
than at any previous time. 1t is said
that he has given away about S5O,OO0O0o
and has now more than s275,0O0OO0. His
income is stated to be more than 900
year. Therefore. unless he gives with
a very liberal hand his wealth is bound
to accumulate. or course, he could get
rid OF all OF it in years time II he
were so disposed. but not TO his satisfac-
ton. He is under obligations not to 20
give IL that il would be productive OF
more harm than good. A moment :
thought, therefore. will make It appar-
ent that 1t is not so easy matter to
give away great fortune.

IT'S tricks, me boy. tricks that make
the successful lawyer nowadays" once
more remarked famous Eastside law
yer the other day in a police court as he
walked out of the court room with
client who had just been discharged on
a charge of attempting to pick a wo-
mans pocket, says the New York Sun.
When the prisoner was first arraigned
the day before a central office detective
swore that he saw him with his hand in
the woman's pocket in crowd in Grand
street, and that when he pulled forth
the hand suddenly it clutched a pocket
book. The woman was present in court
TO corroborate the detective, but the case
was continued before she was called.
The aforesaid lawyer was later seen in
conversation. with the woman on the
sidewalk
On the stand the next day the woman
was not sure that she felt a hand in her
pocket, but would not deny it, The de-
tective was positive, however. Then the
lawyer cross-examined the woman.
Madame, are you now wearing the
dress that you wore yesterday" he
asked.
II am" she replied
Are you positive, on your oath?"
II am"
SIS there a pocket in your dress?'
81 don't know" answered the woman.
Il scarcely ever use a pocket and
know most of my skirts have none in
them"
Then look and see now If there is a
pocket in this dress and stand back so
His Honor can see you" said the lawyer
sternly. The woman fumbled around the
dress for a few minutes and then said:
why, no, this dress has no pocket in it
at ALL
That is all, Your Honor, that is all"
said the lawyer triumphantly. The mag
istrate discharged the prisoner and in
dorsed on the paper the officer swore
he saw defendants hand in woman's
pocket The woman had no pocket in
the dress"
The detective muttered something I'M
der his breath and went away
Yes added the lawyer afterward to
a group of his legal friends, my rival
down street would make a grand speech
and his client would go to Sing Sing. /
say nothing and my client goes free. It's

leave much to be inferred. They declare
for tariff reform. industrial and CONNER

THE FuTrnE OF cunA.

Gen. Gomez went back to Cuba firm in
the opinion that that island would one
day be part of the United States. He ex-
pressed that opinion at the Stokes din
ner. given in his honor. Reports re-
ceived from Cuba indicate that the opin-
ion has not been well received there.
Gen. Gomez has been pretty freely criti-
cised for giving expression to it.
However. it is not an easy matter to
find out exactly what public sentiment
in Cuba on this subject is 1t is certain
that there is a very large element among
the best class OF Cubans who would be
glad If the island were part of the Unit
ed States now. 1t is apprehensive that
there will be no peace there and no great
amount of prosperity until the island be-
comes q part Of the United States This
element however, is not undertaking TO
control public sentiment. knowing full
well that If 1t should attempt to do so 1t
would make itself unpopular with those
who have the support of the great major
ity of the Cubans. and who are deter
mined, with the aid of the uninformed
masses, to get control OF the government
that is to be formed. or course Gen.
Gomez is not in favor Of annexing Cuba
to the United States at this time. He
believes that the Cubans must first try
self-government. Evidently he does not
believe they will succeed. If he did he
would not give expression to the opinion
that the best thing for the island would
be to become a part of the United States.
The Cubans are just beginning to under
stand some of the difficulties in the way
Of establishing a government. Their con-
stitutional convention the other day re-
jected the proposition that the central
government should have no control of the
elections The proposition, however, was
rejected by only one majority. Had It
been adopted the probabilities are there
would have been such frauds committed
that there would not have been acquies-
er words, the elections would have been
followed by efforts to overthrow the gov
eminent. The great majority of those
who will have the right to vote are illit-
crate, and will be easily led by designing
politicians. The efforts which have been
made at elections, the municipal elections,
to win by fraudulent means, show what
may be expected in the way OF frauds at
the general elections. 1t is therefore the
better plan that the central government
shall have some control of elections.
No doubt Gen. Gomez sees that self
government is going to be a failure in
Cuba, and he is but rendering the Cubans
a service by preparing them for becom-
ing citizens of the United States II they
get accustomed to considering their ISL
and part of this country it wifi not be
very difficult for them to give up the idea
of an Independent republic when it be-
comes necessary for them to do so.

A new marvel in the way of a steam
engine is promised TO be introduced to
the public shortly. 1t is the invention
of Lieut.. Graydon, formerly of the
United States navy, who is said to be
backed by Mr.. Andrew Carnegie and 9TH
er rich men. Lieut.. Graydon's engine
is an amplihcation of the Parsons tur-
bine, to which he has applied the com
pound principle. using the steam under
nineteen different pressures. 1t is said
that the turbine type of engine is espe-
cially adapted to compounding, a fact
that will be appreciated by all mechan-
zeal engineers. The chief points of value
in the Graydon compound turbine is that
it economies fuel, gives high velocfies
and runs without vibration. These are
all highly desirable qualities. In the
high-speed oscillating type of engine there
is constant strain and loss of power in
reversing the motion Of the piston. In
the turbine the motion of the revolving
shaft is continuous, without halt or
break The new type turbine, it is
claimed, can be employed for steamboats,
and railway locomotives, and great things
are predicted for it.
