How Mr. Morgan Was Worked.

J. Pierpont Morgan Is always a. liberal man, but he knows how to invest his money where it will do the most good. Recently MT. Morgan was trying the world-famous baths at Aix-les-Bains. in Savoy, for rheumatic troubles, says the Milwaukee Wisconsin. Whenever he leaves place he always takes good care of the servants. The following incident is related of how the great banker was persuaded by a messenger boy to give him $500 when $100 would have been a liberal compensation:
 Pierre" said MT. Morgan on the day of his departure from the watering place,
 Pierre, here Is $1OO for your honesty and promptness." (The boy had been the steel trust magnate's messenger for two weeks,)
 "A thousand thanks, monsiegneur," re- piled Pierre, fumbling the money unde- cidedly. but, monsiegneur-"
 "But-what?" cried MT. Morgan, did you expect me to give you a million?"
 NO, monsiegneur, yop gave me more than I deserve, but I would like your per mission to, tell the hotel servants that you gave me $500.'e no
 why, you young rascal?"
 ''In monsiegneurs own interest, to be sure. like to make people believe that you made money at the bourse, Instead of losing some, during the recent crisis of which the newspapers tell "You are a clever fellow" laughed MT. Morgan, but don't want you to tell lies on my account Here is $400 more"

Oil Kills Malaria Breeding Mosquitoes.

As a result of his crusade against mos quitoes on Staten Island by the use of oil Health Officer Dr. A. H. Doty con tends that the dan 4erous colonies of ano- pheles were foun6 in cisterns or holes near houses where there are cases of ma.- laria, and that they can be got rid of by dosing the cisterns and sloughs with oil and cutting down all rank vegetation that harbors the gnats during the day.
 The Bay, Morgan and Thomas cottages, which are the center of malaria cases, are associated beyond a doubt with anopheles. In the Morgan and Thomas cottages are several acute cases of ma. larial fever. The bay cottage, which was found to be a typical home of anapholes, was treated with lime oil on Thursday, and cordon of oil was made around the Morgan and Thomas cottages. The re- suit was told by Mrs. Morgan today.
 For the first time in ten weeks" she said 'all of us slept well last night. and last night, for the first time lhis summer, we had a lamp in our sitting room. We never dared to do this before"
 Mrs. Thomas testified in like terms to marked abatement of suffering from mos cuitoeS.

MANCHESTER MARKET.
There Has Been No Great Change ir
 Cloth Prices.

Manchester August 1S.-There was no great change in the cloth market last week. Business If anything, was shade more quiet. Inquiry for large eastern markets continue good, China especially purchasing at low rates for future de- livery The South American section still unsatisfactory. The home trade was also disappointing. little new business being done. At the same time the stock of cot ton afloat and ashore is unusually limit ed and the future supply depends largely upon the freedom with which the United States offer the new crop. Consequently the situation for the next few months will be unusually risky.
 Yarns did not show much improvement. The turnover for the week was limited with quotations a shade lower.

Mir. Fiske,s Rule on Hygiene.

Once, in a semi humorous vein, the late John Fiske, whose appearance was of the herculean rather than scholastic build. wrote out his system of health rules as follows, says the New York Commercial Advertiser: Always sit in draught when find one; wear the thinnest cloth ing can find, winter and summer; catch cold once in three or four years, but not severely, and prefer to work In cold room 50 to 60 degrees. Work the larger part of each twenty-four hours. and by day or night indifferently. Scarcely ever change a word when once written, eat when hungry, rarely taste coffee or wine or smoke a cigar, but drink two or three quarts of beer each day, and smoke pipe all the time when at work. Never expe- rienced the feeling of disinclination for work, and, therefore. never had to force work. If I feel dull when at work half hour at the piano restores normal mental condition. which Is one more ar gument for the hygienic and recuperative effects of music"

OLD NEGRO ROBBED.
Butcher Shop Was Torn Up and Old
 Man Fatally Injured.

Meridian, Miss, August 1S.-(SpeciaL)- )-
 An old negro butcher named Larkin was robbed and fatally injured by some unknown person last night. One of the old mans customers having missed him, upon investigation found the door to the shop battered in with an ax. It hung over to ono side on a single hinge, while the interior of the shop was almost total wreck.
 A small desk where the negro butcher was accustomed to keep his cash had been smashed with an ax, and the sack used to store the coin was lying on the floor Everywhere about the shop there was the evidence of the bloody work of this human butcher and his visit to the old negro sometime during the night.
 A trail across the muddy road to ditch showed where something had been dragged. The citizens followed 1t up and in the bottom of the drain was found the body of Larkin. He was covered with his own bloody clothes, and a hur- ried examination showed that he was still breathing
 An alarm was given and soon crowd
 
 shop He was asked repeatedly to tell who did it, but only now and then could he humble something that the listeners were unable to translate.
 The head of the negro had been beaten in with an ax or some instrument of that character. His skull was fractured in half dozen places, and it was apparent at once that death was not long off.
 Sheriff Jemison was notified and Con- stables Price and Foster hurried out with a deputy from the sheriff's office. The clue, but there was little to show who the murderer could have been.
 Will Lake, a member of the younger and tougher sporting set of negroes in Meridian, met his death in the yards of the Northwestern Railroad Company this morning sometime after 12 o'clock midnight. His dead body was found at daylight close to the office of the yard master. by some of the switch crew
 long gash over the left eye was gaping and still flowing with blood when the negro was first seen. Blood on the eu6S oi o SiooS tie opouI thiee feet away from where the body lay is thought to point to a solution of the case. The skull was crushed as If it had received severe blow, and on the right side of the head the bone was broken in although there was no break on the scalp.
 The supposition Is that Lake was steal ing ride on freight train coming in- to the yards, and fearing that If he re- mained on until the train came to a stop some of the trainmen would find him, he attempted to jump off and was killed

SHORT STORIES
 OF THE DAY
Why the Roers are unwashed.

why the boerS are OnWasheo.
 Prof. Joseph French Johnson. who has resigned the professorship of banking and Journalism in the University of Pennsylvania to become professor of com merce in the University of New York, bears striking resemblance to MT Sol Smith Russell, and has been frequently mistaken for that genial actor, relates the Saturday Evening Post. In his hu- mor, too, Professor Johnson is not unlike MT. Russell. Wit and amiable satire of ten illumine the professors lectures Recently in public debate in Philadelphia In regard to the South African war his opponent described the Boers as unwash- ed semi-barbarians.
 Tt is true" returned the professor solemnly. that the Boers are not cleanly of person, but the English have driven them first from Cape Colony, and then from Natal, to the desolate uplands be- yond the Vaal where there is no water; and how, therefore, can you expect them to wash?"
 In addition to his duties In the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania Professor Johnson was at the head of the college of finance in the Columbian University at Washing ton, where he lectured four times month.
 Secretary Gage Is a great admirer of Professor Johnson, and during the lat ters absence in Europe recently consent ed to address his students. Before doing so, however, the secretary read over the professors course of lectures
 Il had thought MT. Gage said to the class, that l might be able to give you some instructions on banking and the general theories of finance, but after reading over your professors lectures am reminded of the farmer who, having accidentally come across a volume of Plato, remarked.

BALTIMORE, MD, Sept. 30, 1901.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
In your issue of Sept. 2S, under the
heading of "A Half Truth Made Whole, "
occurs an editorial criticism of an eX-
preston used by me in letter to the
Baltimore SIM, namely
Democracy, properly understood, is the
only idea that can meet the sOcalistic and
anarchistiC ideas upon their own gr und and
yauquish both DIR. William N. Hill in
Baltimore SIN"
Not only properly understood" but
properly exemplifed especially by
democrats.
In reply l beg leave to say that used
the word, understood" advisedly.
MY experience covering twenty years i'll
politics has convinced me that few, if
any, of the So-called leaders of the people
have any proper understanding of the
democratic principle. Few of the
MASSES have clear conception of their
rights and still fewer have the courage
to maintain them. All this without re-
gard to any party-the sO-called "demO-
cratic or any other.
Pure democracy knows no such thing
us party Parties of all kinds are the
enemies of the democratic principle. 1t
is for this reason the progress to IA better
social condition i'll our country Is now at
IA Standstill. The parties, one and all,
having no correct knowledge of the
democratic principle, progress to better
state of things has become impossible.
You suggest that should have used
| the word, "exemplied,' instead of ''un-
derstood." From my standpoint it is
impossible for the democrats as party
men to "cxemplifv' the democratic
principle. Their party machine pre-
vents them from doing SO. Likewise
with the republicans.
Each and every party proposes to rule
the people, which means that party of
the people intends to rule the whole
Democracy means the rule of the whole
people. Ruling consists in making
laws. Unless the. people make the laws
they do not rule. Tire people do not
make the laws now; therefore, they do
| not rule
There is but one way for them to rule
that gives exact justice TO each Indl-
vidual. II is found in a system of law
making commonly known as direct
