of habit. The first shopkeeper will
of and uncared for, aghast at the
crowds that daily throng the counters
of his competitor and bitterly bewail-
ing the bad luck which has followed
his own venture into trade. Yet he
has no one to blame for it but himself.
Some persons might consider that
old Commodore Vanderbilt was dis
honest because he did not refund the
money which the stockholders of the
Hudson River & Harlem railroads
would have made if they had contin-
ued to hold their stock after he took
hold of the roads. But he was not.
They cheated themselves out of the
money by not being far-sighted
enough to hold on to their stock.
When the commodore had made $780,
100000 in shipping Of various sorts he
looked about for some thing good in
which he might invest his capital. He
found these railroads, which were
then in a most deplorable, out-of-date
condition-the stock only worth SIS on
500 and the bonds you could not sell
for love or money. But he took hold,
built new bridges, put all modern i'm
provements into the car service, advo-
Gated new signal systems, in short, he
infused new blood into the entire
service of the road at an enormous
outlay of capital-and then he waited.
And all the capital came back, bring
ing much additional wealth with it.
| have seen many men who have be-
come wealthy through dishonest
methods, and my experience with
them has taught me this: That most
men who gain wealth dishonesty, if
they live long enough, get poor again.
1t is almost an invariable rule.
The main temptation with which
the ordinary business man of to-day is
beset is the temptation to misrepre-
sent his capital or business prospects,
and thus obtain greater credit. But
don't do it. 1t does not pay. The old,
old adage, Honesty is the best pol
ICY" is the safest motto for every
business man to follow. And I know
what l am talking about, too.
"Be cool and you'll be happy, but
you won't have a good time" may
sound very smart and elicit rounds of
applause, but it is fallacy through
and through. 1t is easier, much easier,
for an honest man to become wealthy
than for his dishonest brother. who
may seem to prosper for a time, but,
mark my words, it is only temporary
success.

TAKES PROMPT ACTION.
Chinese Imperial Edfct Issued Re-
gnrding Recent Massacre of
Christians.

Peking, Jan. 1.-The Gazette pub
fishes an edict recounting the massa-
ere at Ning-Sha-Foo, in Kan-Soo prov
ince (where missionary and num-
Der of Christian converts were re-
ported to have been killed, supposed
ly by troops under the command of
Gen. Tung), and ordering Chinese Of
ficials to pursue and punish the
guilty outlaws.
A second edict degrades the magis-
trate and other Chinese officials with
in whose jurisdiction the massacre oc-
Cured, but retains them in office until
the murderers shall have been secured.
Unless they succeed in experimenting
the guilty parties they are forbidden in
perpetuity to hold Office. This edict
will doubtless result in the punishment
of somebody, whether guilty or not.

Ia GOOD INVESTMENT.
Honesty Pays Better Profits Than
Trickery or Deceit.
Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew breaches
-. d Sermon to Young Men Who
Want to Become Rich and
Respected.

Honesty is too much talked about
| is if it were scarce in these days. The
business principles of to-day are bet
ter, purer and more universally hon
est than they were in the days of my
boyhood. Then the motto of life ran
sonnet hing like this: ''All is fair in
!ove, war and trade" But this gener-
alton has tabooed that maxim and
business methods were never better
or more reputable than they are at
This minute.
Many immense fortunes, says
Chauncey NJ. Depew, in the Chicago
Chronicle, have been made by men OF
this generation who employed strictly
honest means to attain their ultimate
success and great wealth. Take Bes-
semer as an apt illustration. He in
vented the steel which is used so ex-
tensively all over the world for car
rails and revolutionized the manufac-
ture of steel, giving employment to
thousands of persons and bringing
wealth to many besides himself. He
only made $1O,OO0,O00 out of the in
Vention, and l have heard people say
thay they thought this amount was
entirely too small sum for the inven-
ton of so wonderful an Improvement.
think myself that it was quite a re-
spectacle sum.
Many man, as we all know, has
made fortune through judicious ad-
vertising. Take two men starting in
business at the same time; one uses
all the money he makes in living well,
and sometimes even eXtravagantly.
The other invests all the surplus cash
that he can lay his hands on in adver-
Using here, there, everywhere that he
thinks will attract public notice. What
is the result? The man who adver-
tIses has crowds focking to his shop to
see the beauties of the advertised
goods, and as the public begin to run
so they will continue from sheer force

which has opened a subscription for
the erection of monument. Already
the response has been so generous
that M. Jean Leon Gerome, the illus
trious French sculptor and artist, has
been given carte blanche, the only
command issued being that the me-
mortal must be of the finest mate
rials. ... ...
He has promised it for the early
part of 1902, but the unwilling will
not take place until the spring days
come and the weather is warm
enough to permit of a lengthy and
elaborate ceremony.
The monument is a striking piece
of work. The principal figure rep
resents dying eagle with one wing
broken and dropping by it's side, and
the other extended but pierced with
bullets; one claw firmly grasps the
French flag, while with the other the
mortally wounded bird defends the
colors on which are inscribed the
words: 'Austerlitz" and "Eylau."
The eagle is of bronze, and stands
on a huge bowlder of marble over
which the flag droops on one side,
and on the other will be carved an
inscription, the exact text of which
has not yet been decided upon, but
it will contain the date of the battle
of Waterloo, and in a few brief SEN
fences tell the results of the strife
and also state that the monument
is lovingly dedicated to the greatest
general France had and to the noble
men who so courageously and gal
lantly followed their leader.
The eagle measures two meters in
height, and the extending wing three
meters, 25. The entire monument,
with pedestal and bronze, is Is me-
tiers high and is very impressive.

THE PEAVEY ESTATE.
Will of Millionaire Grain Man Who
Died Recently DispOses of
Millions.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. 6.-The will
of Frank II. Peavey ,thewell-knownM Min
neapolis grain man, who died in Chica-
go Monday morning, was flied Friday
in this city, and is one of the most
remarkable wills ever filed here. 1t
places the value of the estate at ST.
100000 personal property and $4,000
real estate, but the total will probably
be in excess of this. The will is chiefly
notable for the manner in which it
shows Mr.. Peavey's character. The
vast estate is divided into hundreds Of
requests. First of all, the business is
provided for, $1,O00,000 of the life in
surance being turned into it, and the
son, George w. Peavey, and two sons
in-iaw, Frank B. Heffelfinger and Fred
B. Wells, who have been associated in
are to manage the business for five
years and stock company is then to be
formed and operated under the name
of T. H. Peavey & Co.
Foremost among the personal be-
quests stands out the following: 10
John I. Brewer, of Chicago, for being
kind to me when a boy, 81 ,0O0." Every
employe of the firm who has been in
service for three years is given one
months salary, and the executors are
instructed to retain old employees and
to care for them after they are too old
for work.
The widow is given 100000 cash,
100000 in trust and 100000 life insur-
ance, also the country home, Highcroft,
and $4,000 annually for it's mainte-
nance. The three children, Mrs. F. L.
Heffelfnger, Mrs. Fred b. Wells and
George w. Peavey, are each given $780,
900 in trust. Mary D. Peavey, of Sioux
City, the mother, is given 633 shares OF
bank stock and $500 a month for life.

BELIEVED TO HAVE LANDED.
Revolutionary Forces in Venezuela

Arms,

Willemstad, Island of Curacao, Jan.
6 (Via Haytien Cable).-The armed
revolutionary steamer Libertador
formerly the British steamer Ban
RICH, has, it is believed here, landed
the expedition near Barcelona, Nene-
zuela.
Advices received here from Caracas
show that the Venezuelan govern
ment is without news of the move
ments of the Libertador.
The vessels composing the Venezue-
Ian fleet are without coal, and be-
sides, their engines are out of order,
and, therefore, President Castro's
ships could not put out to sea and
search for the Libertador.

ceived further signal distinction that
seldom comes to one so young, of be-
ing made bishop coadjutor of the do
cese.
BY this new appointment, which has
been made by Pope Leo XIII, he has
coordinate jurisdiction in this great
diocese with the venerable archbishop,
Most Rev. p. A. Feehan.
The greater significance of this new
honor is that it confers upon him the
right of succession to Archbishop Fee
han.
In naming him as bishop coadjutor
the holy father designated at the same
time the next archbishop of Chicago.
Bishop Muldoon was born little
less than 3s years ago in Columbia, CAL,
of Irish parents.
His early education was obtained in
the public schools of Stockton, Cal.

$3.50 in 1900, and 1885 in 1899.
Epidemics.
The loss of life by epidemic diseases
has fallen off considerably as CT npared
with 1902 The ravages of the plague
have increased, the number of victims
in 1901 being a little over $4,000, las COM
pared with 10000 in 1900 Cholera, how
ever, has greatly decreased in fatality,
it's victims in 1901 being about 5000, as
compared with about 10000 in 1900 The
total of deaths in 1900 owing to the In
dian famine reached the large sum OF
about $4,000. 1t is difficult to make any
but, roughly estimated, the cholera and
plague last year claimed about 1000 VIC
TINS. No returns have been made of the
fatalities by famine in India and Russia.
Wars.
The war which has most conspicuous
ly engaged public attention during the
year has been the Boer war. 1t has now
assumed the form of guerrilla warfare,
and the new year opens with serious
losses inflicted upon British arms. In
addition to the South African struggle
there has been the customary number OF
revolutions in Central America, and
more or less sanguinary conflict between
trouble between Argentina and Chill
