IAITLY BERNARD
w ROGAN.
Tie Tale Of How He Secured a First.
class Funeral Including An Ex-
penSiYe Wake.
brooklyn Eagle.)


OF course nobody could blame Ber-
nard ROgan for wanting to go to
heaven. me only fault to be found
was the way he sought TO get there.
At any rate, whether he got there or
not, the fact remains that he had a
most elegant funeral, an elaborate
church service and an expensive cas-
ket, to say nothing of the wake. which
cost sometime, too.
Rogan died at the West Penn hospital
one day last month. About the very
last thing be die before he drew his
parting breath was to present one Of
his best friends with the latest and
most ingenious gold brick ever heard
Of up to date
What benefit does a man EXPECT to
gpt out Of a gold brick? Read Rogan' 8
last Will and testament, and read this
story and then judge for yourself.
Bernard Rogan is, or was, an Irish
man. He worked as a laborer in the
Totten foundry. and was an Industrious
but improvident old chap who consid-
cred tina. tomorrow was another dav.
and tool no further thought of it.
The old man had lived in this neigh Dor
hood Tor years and years; had lived
here sin G 1858, in fact, but had gone
home TO Ireland for two or three years
to escape the draft when the civil war
broke out He was of the opinion tsSdt
a draft Of that kind was liable to give
him cold feet.
Being improvident, old Rogan was
likewise impecunious, and it was.
therefore, a matter or surprise to Al
derman Charles F. Anderson Of Eighth
street. who knew Rogan well. when he
received a few weeks ago q note from
the old man. asking him to call upon
him at his room. Rogan explained in
the note that he was sick unto death,
and wished to make his win.
He viii probably leave as much be-
hind him as the next man." remarked
Alderman Anderson, but it won't be
his. I don't think the old man ever
saved a dollar in his life"
Nevertheless he rolled uD a blank
Last Will and Testament" form. and.
putting it IN his pocket, went around to
old ROgan's room. and found the old
nan pTOpped up in bed and on his last
legs, if man can be said to be on
his last legs when they are too weak
TO hold him He had suffered from
asthma for years.
"Ut's a fine man We are, squire" said
ROgan. AN ut was sure I was that

derman Anderson developed the inter-
esting fact that Rogan didn't have any
property in Dublin. Gradually Il
daWned on the alderman and the ss-
loOnkeeper that ROgan had been play
ing a new kind of a gold brick game.
In Rogan's room a card was 1ouho

this county as 4 jury commissioner ne
had been good to the old man and had
put him on the jury list as often as Was
possible. The name of Ennis was PROB
ably the first one that occurred TO Ro-
gan when the alderman had asked nm
who his attorney in Dublin was.
The joke is evidently on me- re-

the title for the three three-story brick
houses with porticos on Glasgow street,

The next day ROgan's death was re-
ported from the West Penn hospital,
and Blank neglected his business to
make all the necessary arrangements
for a fine funeral, for the church ser

of Bernard Rogan in the newspapers.

MUCH PRAISE FOR CONSUELO.
The London Papers Point Out the Sue

Duke of Marlborough.

The current number of the London
Taller leads its society department
with the following paragraph, accom-
panied by portrait:
"The duchess of Marlborough Miss
Consuelo Vanderbilt), when she was
married to the duke of Marlborough,
had the desire to become the best
type of English chatelaine without
abandoning her national Characters
ties, and she has certainly succeeded.
"Within a very short time of her
marriage she entertained the then
second royalties of the kingdom as
to the manor born. She has restored
the fortunes of the house of Spencer
Churchill She has embarked eager
ly on politics and is a dame Of the
Primrose league. In common with 50
many English wives she spared her

A TELEPHONE WIRE NET.
An international system That Com
meets Principal European cities
with Paris ms the Center.

Paris is the center of an interna-
tional telephone wire net; its extreme
ends are London, Hamburg, Berlin
and lin connection with the French
Italian line about to be opened) Turin
and Milan. The Paris-Berlin line is
the longest, with about CPS miles Of
wire. The Paris-llamburg line is
about the same. The distance from
Paris to Turin, measured by an air
line, is about 37j miles, and that be-
tween Paris and Milan about 470 miles,
states the Scientific American.
But all these lines are eclipsed in
length by that between Paris and Co
logne, not by the direct line, but by
indirect connection, often rendered
necessary by breaks in the other sery-
ice. In such cases a person in Paris
desiring to speak to Cologne, is con
nected via Berlin. This roundabout
way increases the wire distance about
375 miles, making the total about
1000 miles. The Cologne Gazette
states that this does not impair the
distinctness of the message, and no
loss Of time is noted in using this in
creased distance.

TRACES OF LONG-LOST ISLAND
Steamship Captain from Tahit Il Nal es
Interesting Report to Hydro
graphic Authorities.

Capt. Lawless, Of the steamship
Australia, from Tahiti, thinks he has
found traces of an island, rich in phos-
pilates, discovered by Capt. John De
Graves, of Honolulu, in 1859, and for
which the government and private ex-
petitions have ever since searched in
vain, says a San Francisco report.
Stormy weather and the fact that
he was in charge of mail boat carry
ing passengers prevented Capt. Law
less from more thoroughly investigat-
ing. He has reported the matter to
the photographic authorities. The
latitude of this island Is calculated
by De Graves, was about 1850 north.
The longitude he had no means Of cal
eulating, but thought it was about 1873

dDIe as having been the armor Of
Henry, Prince of Wales, says the Buff
falo Commercial.
Curiously enough, this interesting
research amongst the armored tenc-
ments of men who have long been
numbered with the dust confirms
Solomon's dictum that "There is no
new thing under the sum-" or, at least,
proves the proverb that "Ilistory re
peats itself" Practically all thesr
coats of proof were made in the Ger
many of their time; so that "made in
Germany" is, after all, no new phrase.

west.
Capt. Lawless says he has often
spoken with De Graves about the is
land. A man in Honolulu named Pea
cock has shown his faith in De Graves
story by fitting out two expeditions TO
search for the island. Other eXpcdi-
tons have gone out, and De Graves still
lives in the hope of some day sharing
the wealth of that midPacific phos-
phate deposit.
The United States steamer Alba
tross twice took a hand in the search
in the interests of nayigators. The
Albatross' investigations, in the light
of Capt. Lawless' information, were
conducted too far north.

SOULS OF MILLIONAIRES.
New York Bank President, Whose
Two Daughters Have Joined saI-
walton Army, Pleads for Them.

Warner Van Norden, president Of
two daughters deserted the circles of
the 400 to become Salvation Army
lassies, appeals to the churches to
save the souls of millionaires. He
chided modern preachers at a meet
ing of the Presbyterian union, and
he is quoted in the same strain in an
afternoon paper. He is reported as
saying:
whoever has heard of a sinner be-
ing converted in one of our big
churches? I mean n real sinner
some big millionaire, purse proud
and hardhearted, or some crime
tainted, hardened criminal? Not one
of you. What we ought to strive
for is to convert millionaires and take
them out of their wretched, selfish
lives, and the women, those foolish
butterflies, who are wasting their
lives. We speak of sin in the alb
stract, and Russell Sage smiles and
rubs his hands and says: That's
right
''It has become nothing less than
scandal that so many millionaires
leave their work for three or four
months of the year. There are many
Of tho rich laity who take a vaca-
ton from church activities, not mere
ly for three months, but for the
whole year. If poor people come to
a fashionable church, among wealthy
persons, they are made to feel un-
comfortable, and so they stay away.
Greed is not the all-important
question confronting the Presbyte-
rian church. The problem is to find
way to cure the rich of their cold
ness and Indifference"

of Wales did not permit us to entertain

he did not know then that we could en-

WOMEN SMOKE IN PUBLIC.
High-Class Hotel in New York City
Has a Room for Their Ac-
comm Odation.

AS liberal in it's views as New York
city is generally conceded to be in
most things, there have always been
certain Puritan prejudices which it has
chung to tenaciously-a few very def
mite laws against the offending of the
proprieties which one might not vio-
late with impunity. Possibly one of
the most stringent of these unwrit-
ten laws has been that which prohib-
its women from smoking in public
places, says the New York Post. I'm
til within very recently, it is safe to
say, not hotel in the city that pre-
tends to cater to the "better element"
has allowed its women patrons to
smoke in any of its public rooms.
Either the owners of these places are
becoming broader minded or else the
feminine demand to be allowed to
smoke has become too insistent to be
further ignored. At any rate, this
form Of woman's rights has been pub
licly acknowledged by at least one
hotel proprietor. In the diningroom
of high-class hotel an engraved card
bearing this inscription, is placed on
each of the tables every evening:
"Gentlemen and ladies wishing to
smoke may do so in the giltroom."
The giltroom is back of the parlor
on the second floor, and nightly it is
filled with men and women smoking.
Simply as commentary on the "prog-
ress Of the times" the fact may be
recalled that only little while ago
woman was arrested and taken to
police station for smoking on Broad
