There is a good deal OF truth and
philosophy in the observation. Amer
lea has stepped to leadership on its
scrap heaps. The other day, in New
York, four million dollars worth OF

at League Island there was a scrap
heap OF old monitors which were
hardly valuable even as objects OF in
terest, and II the recent work OF the
new projectile In smashing the strong
est armor plate is continued there will
be other scrap heaps OF larger ves-
sells. which have cost the government
millions OF dollars. II has not been
many years since the newspapers had
TO make scrap heaps OF their old
presses. In fact In every department
OF effort the scrap heap has been the
sign OF progress and success, II would
be fortunate II men could deal as
promptly In their ideas and preiudices
as they do in their machinery. The
spoils system in politics would make
good junk. The excessive tArifi pro-
toction would look well as a second
class ruin. Some OF the present navi-
CATION laws might be sacrificed with
profit. And there are other things. A
government needs scrap heaps as much
as a corporation.

SCHOOL LANDS
Two Thousand Acres to be
Leased Oh December FL.

! The committee appointed by tn.
School Board to lease the school,
lands last Saturday decided to post.
pone the matter on account Of an
irregularity in the advertise ment.
Acting upon the advice Of an attor.
new the committee concluded to
re advertise the lands so as to give
| lesees an nndisputed title. AS will
be seen BY reading the advertise
men, in another column the lands
will be offered for lease on Dec
81, 1901
The public schools own about
1000 acres Of land most of which
is very fertile and capable Of pro-
ducing very remunerative crops
During the last and preceding years
the 1000 acres brought to the
schools annual revenues of about
5000 This year there is good rea-
son to believe that the revenues
from that source will reach S25oo.
This handsome increase will be
the result of the intelligent and
business-like methods of the com
mittee. The matter has been
thoroughly advertised and every
effort has been made to acquaint
prospective bidders with the value
of the lalus.
Under proper management the
school lands can be made to Weld
annually quite a large amount and
we are pleased to see the commend
able interest that the Board has
shown in the matter.

FORTUNE FROM A WHIPPING
sixty $4,000 Lashes Started One Man
to Great Wealth.

sixty $4,000 Lashes Started One Man
to Great Wealth.
There died recently in San Francisco
John Magee, one of the wealthiest resi-
dents of that city Of millionaires, says
the New York Press. John Magee's
immense fortune came originally as a
result Of fiogging which he received
In San Jose, Guatemala, in 1874. In
that year Magee was British consul
lar agent In San Jose. He fell out
with the military commander there,
one Colonel Gonzales. Gonzales threat
ened and stormed, but Magee defied
him. Thereupon the colonel took Ma
gee from his consulate, ignoring the
protection of the British flag, and Or
dered him to be logged for his con-
tumacy. He got 60 lashes on his bare
back and then was thrown into prison.
A British man-of-war came steaming
into the harbor of San Jose. and Il
wrathful man was her commander
He demanded that Magee be delivered
over to him Immediately under penalty
Of blowing the town sky high. Magee
was given up, but that did not close
the incident. Unless an apology for
the insult to the British flag was made
Immediately by the government OF
Guatemala, the flag saluted and an in
demnity paid to Magee the British gov
eminent threatened direful things.
Guatemala appealed to the United
States, but this country replied that
the Monroe doctrine did not protect lit
tie Central American republics in com
hitting such outrages as that perpe-
trated by Colonel Gonzales, and Guate-
mala was advised to comply with the
Just British demands. ThereupOn the
government of Guatemala offered to
pay Magee 100000, $4,000 for every
lash he had received. The apology and
the salute of the British flag were also
forthcoming.
Now. this amount cannot be found
every day in the treasury of Central
American republic, and while the gov
eminent of Guatemala might agree to
pay the sum the collecting Of it would
probably be delayed and attended with
trouble and complications. So Magee
said to the Guatemalan government
that he really could not distress it
financially by accepting such a large
amount of money but would be con-
tent to call it square for certain con-
cessions which would cost it nothing.
Magee got the concessions at once, and
they included the right to establish a
bank in San Jose and the building OF
wharfs in that port. The government
was so grateful to him because he had
not insisted on cash that he was pro-
tected in his monopoly every way, and
thus he laid the foundation Of his enor-
nous fortune.

Florence Kahn will be leading wom-
an with James X. Hackett next sea-
son.

girls in New York called the White
Mice.
A play founded upon the life Of Tom
Moore. the Irish poet, will be used by
Andrew Mack next season.
"Ben-H ur" will remain in Boston for
the remainder Of the season, as its hit
has been something remarkable.
Laurence Irving expects to be IN
New York in the fall to see his play,
which Mr.. Sothern Is to produce.
There will probably be five versions
of the French novel "Manon Lescaut"
seen on the American stage next sea-
son.
The story first published some months
ago to the effect that William Gillette
was to play Hamlet seems more than
likely to be true.
Mr.. and Mrs. Seymour Hicks (Ella-
line Terriss), according to a London
announcement. will appear in "Alice In
Wonderland" in New York in the au-
tumn.
Joe Murphy, the we'll known Irish
comedian, has closed his tour to go
tarpon fishing Mr.. Murphy is a mil
lionaire and appears on the stage for
his own amusement.
Miss Marie Bates. the we'll known
character actress. will support Mr.. Da-
vid Warfield next season in "The Only
Levi" She is to have the role Of an
eccentric old Irish woman.
Miss Minnie Ashley, who made a
hit in "San Toy" will be unable to re-
turn to the stage this season. The
glare of the limelight has so affected
her eyes that she must remain In a
darkened room for long time to come
or run the risk of losing her sight alto
gether.
