die rich" From what We can judge
OF the canny little Scotchman, those
who would like TO partition his wealth
from him may spare the breath it
takes to give him advice, remarks the
New York Press. Ill his life he has
followed his own impulse and his own
judgment, AID doubtless the results
have been sufficiently satisfactory to
confirm him in q continuation of that
practice and habit. 1t would not bo an
unheard-of thing, however, should it
be discovered that genius that be IL

charity and philanthropy; but even
should this prove to be the case with
Mr.. Carnegie, the world will have the
satisfaction of 4 splendid example for
other rich men and of benefits that
must come in some measure from the
Carnegie gifts.

10 the tired business or professional
man, and prepare him fer better WORK.
The great number OF excursions from
Southern points now being run by our
leading newspapers and individuals,
over the Seaboard Air Line attest fully
the high degree OF public confidence
enjoyed by this progressive and popu.

A FINE FIELD FOR WOMEN.


Upwards Of 1000 women ind daily
employment at the exposition in all
capacities from wedding gardens and
tending flowers and washing dishes
mp to managing exhibits. They earn
wages that run from two dollars to
$3.50 week mp TO $50. with an average
that is probably considerably below
ten dollars. More are employed in the
Midway than in any other section CT
the exposition. There they are ticket
sellers, ticket takers, cashiers, wait
resses. ballyhoos performers and man
ayers. Nearly 500 Of them are doing
work Of one sort or another in the
Midway, says Buffalo exchange.
In the main show outside of the Mid
way they are employed in greatest
numbers as mattresses in the restau-
rants scattered about the grounds.
These are nearly all In the low grade
