Seated with some congenial cronies
in a cool corner of a roof garden the
other night was James Conner Roach,
actor, playwright, wit and raconteur,
says the Philadelphia Times. They
had been discussing wealth and what
IL meant to be a man of millions, when
Roach said:
Now, how many of us here to-
night know what $1000,000 really
means? How many people in general
know?
Some think of a million as check
for that amount signed by George
Gould and Endorsed by Russell Sage.
Others picture great heaps of gold.
when 1 hear poor chaps like us
speaking of millions I think of the
story of three of my countrymen who
were digging a sewer in Kensington
They had shovels with very short
handles, and the dirt had to be thrown
higher the deeper they dug, SO the
longer they worked the more energy
had to be expended.
& zone noon hour, they were, seated
along the fence, eating dinner, when
Pat said: A.f
Dyes, do yez know what I'd do if
1 had a millyun dollars? I'd buy me-
silf a job as porther on a Pullman
car and spind the rest of me days in
luxury.
Mike removed his pipe from his
mouth, sighed as he looked at his
empty pail, and said:
well, well now, would yez? I'd
buy me one of the big corner saloons
with all the lookin' glasses, and iv'ry
time l took a drink I'd see mesilf
twenty-four times takin' H..
The whistle summoned them to
work, when Jim gave his opinion.
Holding his lame old back with one
hand, and reaching for his shovel, he
declared.
IF l had a millyun dollars I'd add
two fleet to the handles of all these
shovels."

The Moros are the fiercest tribe in
the Philippines. They are Mohamme-
dams by religion. and traitors and as
sassins by nature. They want TO fight
and Gen. Chaffee has been instructed
to accommodate them, in his own way.
In all probability he will be obliged to
use severe measures; possibly some
cruelty will be practiced. That he will
beat them. and soundly, does not ad-
nit of any doubt. But when he has
accomplished his task we may expect
to hear him roundly denounced. in
Boston and elsewhere. for his "inhu-
manity." 1t is a pity that some of
these Boston fault-finders do not go
out and show US what humane war
really is.

EngIand's treatment of the Beers
continues to be in marked contrast to
the Norths treatment of the Confed-
crates. The Beer generals, DeWet,
Bctha and De la Rey, are going to con-
fer with Colonial Secretary Chamber
lain respecting the future of South
Africa, and in all probability the three
ex-warriors will enter the colonial gov
eminent in some capacity. Did any
cabinet minister following the close of
the war of secession, invite Confed-
crate generals to Washington to con-
fer with respect to the best policy to
be adopted in the South? Were Con-
federate generals offered positions I'M
der the government, in order that the
rehabilitation of the section devastated
by war. might go on as rapidly as pos
sible? The blacks in the Transvaal
and the Orange River Colony are prob
ably as much civilized as were the
blacks of the South in the sixties, yet
there has been no suggestion that
Great Britain give them the cleo
tive franchise and make them legis-
lators and judges. by way of furnishing
the whites who dared to fight.

And now the race problem, in its
darkest form, casts a shadow over
South Africa. That problem will ex-
list whenever and wherever the white
and the black races are brought into
contact. so long as the blacks remain

Boer regime the crude but simple re-
tribution for assaults on women was
shooting on sight" Whether under
British rule it will be possible to insti-

TYPHOID FEVER M MANY CITIES

TYPHOID FEVER IN MANY CITIES.
A dispatch from Chicago says that
the opening of the public schools in
that city on Sept. 1 is regarded with
apprehension by the people, because of
the fact that there is no probability
that the epidemic of typhoid fever
which has been prevailing there for
nearly two months will have abated
by that time. 1t seems that all of the
filters were taken out of the public
schools when the drainage canal.
which cost $26, 100000 was completed,
because it was thought that an ample
supply of pure water having been Sc
cured, there was no longer need for
them. 1t is alleged however, that the
water is now about as bad as ever.
and that it will be two ,years-the
time necessary to complete the inter
cepting sewers-before the full bene-
fetal effect of the drainage canal will
be felt.
AS a matter of fact. however. there
has arisen in that city a question as to
whether the fever is due to bad water.
The basis of this question is the state
ment that the section of the city that
is now receiving the purest water is
suffering the most from the epidemic
Washington, D. c.. Brooklyn, N. Y,
and a number of other cities are re-
ported as having epidemics of typhoid
fever. 1t is certain that in all of them
water is not -bad-not infected with
typhoid fever germs. There must be
some other cause for the fever. The
germs are probably brought into the
cities from the country in milk. In
deed, there are many ways in which
the germs are scattered.
There are reasons for thinking that
the common house fly is responsible in
many instances for epidemics of ty-
phoid fever as well as of other dis
eases. They are scavengers and it is
practically impossible to keep them out
of dwellings and away from articles of
food.
1t is doubtful If there is any city in
the country that has as bad water as
Philadelphia, and there Is generally ty-
phoid fever there. often in an epidemic
form, but for some reason or other
only few cases have been reported
there this year. If bad water were the
main cause of this disease it would he
reasonable to suppose that Philadel-
| phia would have an epidemic of it
pretty nearly all the time.

the cENTRAL.s ANNUAL REroRT.


The annual report of the Central of
Georgia Railway Company which has
just been issued shows why the COM
pany paid only per cent. on its first
income bonds this year. notwithstand-
ing the fact the gross earnings were
over 100000 greater for the year end
ing June 80 than they were the pre-
Vious year, and the net earnings more
than $1,000 greater. An unusually
large amount was spent upon the road
for betterments, equipment and new
ships. In addition to these eXpendi-
lures there was a marked increase
in the cost of supplies and in the
amount of taxes. 1t is pointed out
that on account of the purchase of
new ships the company received no
dividends whatever on its stock in he
Ocean Steamship Company last year.
In fact, it received no dividends on
this stock the previous year.
If the percentage of the gross earn
ings required for operating expenses
had been no greater last year than
they were in 1898 the company would
have been in a position to pay divi-
dend of per cent. not only on the first
incomes, but also on the second and
third incomes. In 1898 the cost of OPP
Grating the property was 62.35 per cent.
of the gross earnings. In 1902 the cost
of operation was 1.36 per cent. of the
gross earnings. In other words, the
net earnings in 1898 were 1856 of the
gross earnings, while in 1902 they were
only 1854 per cent.
1t has been the general understand
ing that as the property was improved
the cost of operating it would decrease,
but it seems that such has not been
the case. There has been pretty
steady decrease in the net earnings in
proportion to the gross earnings since
1898.
The only explanation of this is to be
found in the steadily increasing
amount annually that is being applied
to betterments and equipment. The
question may be raised eventually
whether this policy is entirely fair to
the holders of the income bonds.
