were in a private box. The prince

she declined. Miss Bishop was then
quite young, and gave as her reason
the strict rules of her church against
dancing, particularly in a public all
room.

HOW MUCH HAD HE GIVEN AWAY ?
Philadelphia Press.

When a rich man dies the first question
that springs to the lips of those who knew
him in life is 4: "How much did he leave?"
And the general public that was only ac-
quainted with him as one of the men of
colossal fortune will wait with feverlsh
anxiety for the publication of bis will 30 as
to add up the ciphers and units and de-
termine by the product how many mill
ions the heirs and bcnefciaries are to d.
vide among themselves.
The latest instance of the kind occurred
in connection with the recent death OF
Philip D. Armour of Chicago. Mr.. Arm
our was one of the most successful gather
ers of money that this country of great
fortunes has known. His wealth was esti-
mated wien he was alive all the way from
S. 900 900 to $50, 100000. This left wide
margin for conjecture which could only be
definitely answered by the reading of the
will. And when it was announced that
the estate was appraised at $4,000, 900
there were many signs Of satisfaction and
mods with the exclamation 81 told you
so /"
But while nearly every one was inter-
ested in knowing bow much MIR. Armour
left, few, if any, asked "How much had
he given away ?" And yet the figures
published by the Chicago newspapers
show that MIR. Armour gave away during
his life more than he was able to will away
at his death. Carefully prepared tables
prove that his gifts were considerably more
than double his devised estate. To the
Armour Institute and Armour Mission he
gave about 81, 500, 900; to other public in
stitutions and charities $500, 900; to rela'
tives, friends and faithful employees about
$25 900, 900, and in other ways $1,000, 900,
making a total of $35,OO0,00O disposed of
during his lifetime. Had he boarded his
wealth it is estimated that it would have
amounted at his death to $50, O00, 900 at
least. But it was less than one-thlrd That
sum.
In view Of these facts and the growing
disposition of rich men to give away large
fortunes during their lifetime it will not be
surprising if the question GLOW much
did he leave2" is changed to: "How
much had he given away ?" One of the
richest men of the time has declared that
it is disgrace for man to die rich. !"
All rich men are not following Mr.. Car
negie's wise forethought, but enough are
and their gifts are numerous and generous
enough to prove that it is fast becoming
more honorable to a man to be known by
what he has given away during his lifetime
than by what lie leaves at his death.

Aaron Burr's Trial for Treason,

"No court in this country had ever pre-
sented a more impressive spectacle than
on the day when the third vice president
of the United States was arraigned as a
traitor" writes William Perrine in the
Ladies Home Journal.
"On the bench sat the most renowned
of all the long list of jurists of the Supreme
Court, John Marshall, and the courtroom
and streets about the famous capitol
(Richmond), which still exists among the
most venerated of the historic buildings of
Virginia, were crowded with witnesses,
lawyers and public men from all parts of
the country. Burr was not proved to be
guilty under the indictment and the ev-
idence submitted. His beautiful, brilliant
daughter, Theodosia, radiant with joy,
appeared in the streets of the town for a
long walk with her father amid the admi-
ration of his partisans. She had won the
hearts even of his enemies with her beauty
and still more with her filial devotion.
The further proceedings which had been
meditated by the federal government were
dropped, for Burr's most uncharitable
foes must have been satisfied with the
new outburst of popular feeling which his
acquittal raised against him. He could
not appear in public without taking the
risk of personal insult or of being mob
bed"
