A $1,000 bond of the city Of Wheel
ing, bearing interest at the rate Of six
per cent per annum, issued a half CEN
fury ago, has never been heard from
since that time. None OF the coupons
have been presented for payment.
When the city compromised her debt,
the bond was not exchanged for a new
three per cent bond. The city has not
paid a cent of the principal or inter-
est.
If the bond were drawing interest at
the rate OF six per cent, it would now
be worth about SIC, 900, and a much
larger sum if the interest were COM
pounded. But in 1850, the city COM
promised her indebtedness, taking that
course in preference to a reputation of
the debt, the latter course being fol-
lowed by many cities after the panic
Of 1857. The city of Wheeling, then
comparatively small, had a much heav-
Ter debt than at present. Holders OF
the old bonds exchanged then. for COM
promise three per cent bonds. The
5000 Marietta and Cincinnati railroad
bond was never presented for exchange.
In 1852, the city issued bonds to the
amount of $250,000 for a subscription
to the Marietta & Cincinnati railroad,
which was to extend to Wheeling. The
road was never built, although some
grading was done and some stone
bridges constructed. 1t was abandoned
about the time of the panic, and the
city's contribution was virtually a loss
Of a quarter of a million. 1t was
one Of these bonds, of the face value OF
$4,000, which has been lost, strayed or
stolen.
Under the compromise loan. the inter
est coupons were paid in New York.
Many of the bonds were held by CAPT.
tslists in Holland and in Germany.
Most of the bonds have been redeemed,
and the city has annually made an ap-
PAOPA " PloNloC LII IUC lCQClup-
ton of the missing $1,000 bond with
interest at three per cent since 1860.
This condition of affairs continued
until 1898, the appropriation being an
nually made, and generally diverted to
some other purpose. Since 1898, the
missing bond has been ignored, and
simply passed over. 1t has occurred
to the city legislators, however, that if
any sane person held the bond, it would
have been presented for exchange, or
for payment of either interest or prin-
cipal or both.
The suspicion that the bond has been
lost or destroyed, has generally settled
upon the city inanciers with the force
of conviction. 1t is now believed that
it was either destroyed by fire, or lost
by some European holder while cross
ing the ocean to America. At any rate
the pressing need Of money for the ad-
ministration of municipal affairs has
finally brought the financiers of Coun-
Gil to the point that they have decided
to charge it Off the books. 1t is not
desired to repudiate the debt, but it is
considered folly to make annual appro-
priations for its redemption when
money is so much needed.
The $4,000 bond, with accumulated
interest since 1860, is now worth about
$11,150. 1t is not thought that the
bond viii ever turn up, but if it does,
the holder will no doubt be paid for it.

The Rex Contest.

The contest for Rex is waxing warm
already. and many persons are voting
in lump sums for their ~favorite can
didates. Five dollars, for example,
would mean fifty votes for a candidate.
Considering the fact that it is very
early in the fight a great deal of inter-
est has been aroused, and the voting
promises to be very heavy. 1t is an
honor worth the effort.

well-kuown business man of san
Francisco, who died I'm Chicago in Oc-
tober of last year The story is one OF
love and divorce, of poisoned nina
and of sons wel-beloved. disinheritps
it is alleged, without a word of eX-
PLANTATION. one of the sons is Frank
Norris, famous as the author of THE
Octopus "MCTeague,' and other Cali
fornia novels; the other, Charles c.,
is "a student at the State University at
Berkeley 1t is Frank who, through
Lawyers j. 4. Marsh of this city and
Marston & futile of Chicago, is insti-
tutng proceedings by which he hopes
to break the will of his father. 1t he be
successful, the younger brother will get
part of the estate, which is valued at
about $500. O00 1t is declared that the
father who had always shown great
pride and interest i'm his sons, was in
duced through duress and under the in
tluence of second wife to cut them off
practically without a cent, and that
when the will was made his mind had
been weakened through the intermit-
tent use of powerful medicines.
For many years the elder Norris liv-
ed with his wife and family ON Sacra-
mento street i'm the fashionable quar-
ter. He was deacon in Dr.. Macken-
zie's church and stood high in the
community. Their home life seemed
ideally happy and they entertained
lavishly.
Mrs. Norris spent several years
abroad for the purpose of educating the
two sons, only to find on her return
that her home had been broken up and
that her husband had gone on a trip
around the world-and not alone. I'm
mediately the wife applied for and Sc
cured a divorce The day following b.
f. Norris was united i'm marriage to
Mrs. Belle Garvey who, as Miss Bovee
was already widely known i'm San Fran

rs after settling 100000 on his former
wife, and breaking all his church and
social ties, finally went to Chicago
where, as one of the firm of b. f. Norris
Alister q Co.. he accumulated a large
fortune.
1t is alleged by those in a position to
speak with authority that Norris sur
rendered his will and his judgment from
the first to the new woman in the case
and that his mind was affected by pow
erful medicines administered to quiet
frequent and aggravated attacks Of
sick headache, to which he had been
subject for a score Of years.

CARNEGIE'S BIC GIFT
WILL STILL GO TO THE UNITED
STATES
The Iron King Says All Difficulties viii
Talks on the Subject.

WASHINGTON, December 1S.-An-
drew Carnegie was in the city today,
and, with Secretary Root, ate luncheon
with the President at the White House.
1t is understood that the proposed gift
of $1O,UO0000 by Mr.. Carnegie to the
Government for the establishment of a
university for higher learning in this
city was discussed, but the statement
was made tonight that the matter is
still undeVeloped, and there is nothing
to be said on the subject for publica-
ton. Carnegie left the city late in the
afternoon. He was quoted as saying
when he left the White House that
there would be no trouble about the
gift-that the matter would come out
all right.
NEW YORK, December 1S.-A cable
to the Sun from Berlin says: Speaking
today of Andrew Carnegie's offer OF
$lOO0O,O0O for a national university at
Washington, Won Stradonitz, rector of
the University of Berlin, expressed the
opinion that America must guard
against the danger of fostering higher
education at the expense of practical
intelligence and development Of native
spirit.
Too much learning" he said, IF not
danger, it at least, Improbable. We"
said Dr. Won oLradOnitz, ARE suffering
from it in Germany. We are burdened
with an unprOduCtiVe class who look
with inherited scOrn on those whose ed
ucation has been merely in the art of
bread winning. The evil manfests itself
in Germany by the existence of an idle
element which, lacking any other oc-
cupation, serves as the recruiting SER
geant Of the enemies of social order.
The fundamental feature of American
schooling, as "A preliminary fitting for
men and women in life's battles, is a
truly Darwinian principle, and it finds
splendid Vindication in the strength, of
the American position in the word to-
day Carnegie's technical school endOw-

mony with the American spirit, but his
