FOUND TO HAVE WEALTH.
Miserable Looking Old Italian Gre
ntes IA Sensation I'm II New York
Courtroom.

Tender-hearted persons in the Har-
lem police court, New York city, were
shocked when Francisco Georgia, an
aged, shriveled and iserable-looking
Italian organ-grinder, was fined five
dollars for begging. The white-haired
old man looked appealingly about the
room, and from long habit, put his
hand out, but, quickly recovering him
self, and glancing uneasily at the mag
istrate, he brought forth a grimy old
bag and counted out pennies, nickels,
dimes and quarters until he had paid
his fine. Then he paid five dollars, also
in small change, to his lawyer. BY this
time a crowd was about him. To the
establishment of the court attaches
and those who had sympathized with
him, he produced a package containing
$3.50 in bills and book on the Bank of
Rome, Italy, showing he had $4,000

says he will retire from business"
He thinks a man shauld retire at 60.
The beggar also volunteered the in
formation that he recently gave his
laughter $4,000 as a wedding present.

WON'T PAY THE HIGH RENT.
Russell Sage VIII Move Rather Than
submit to what He Thinks Is an
ExOrbitant Increase.

Russell Sage said the other day
that he will move rather than pay
the increase in rent which Commo-
dore Gerry intends to charge after
May 1 for the house and lot at SOC
Fifth avenue. Mr.. Sage now pays
$4,000 a year, or five per cent. of $780,
300, the figure at which the land was
valued when he renewed the lease 81
years ago.
Now the valuation has been revised
and placed at 100000, so if MIR, Sage
still has to pay five per cent. his
rent for land will go up to $4,000 n
year. He owns the house. He built
it something over 40 years ago, and
has lived there ever since.
"Why, It's outrageous" he said, "to
talk of such a raise in rent. They'll
drive everybody off Fifth avenue If
they don't look out. / don't want to
move, for / have lived there over 40
years, but I won't stay and pay any
thing exorbitant."

MADE HIT WITH KAISER.
Naval Attache BeehIcr, who Is Leay-
ing United states Embassy at
Berlin, Was often Dined.

Commander William H. Beehler, the
United States naval attache at Ber-
lin, and Mrs. Beehler went to Ores
den the other day. Thence the com
mander will pay farewell visits to
Vienna and Rome, and will return to
Berlin for his formal leave-taking.
His term expired April I.
Commander Beehler, during the
last two years, has breakfasted,
lunched and dined with Emperor Will
liam 81 times, and has had 46 au-
diences with his majesty, almost all
at the emperor's initiative. The en-
peror has shown an extraordinary
liking for the attache. and has facili-
tated his official inquiries in every
way.
Emperor William on several occa-
sions, like the KEEL regatta and smok-
ing parties, put his arm on Com
mander Beehler's shoulder and called
him "Bin."

MOMMSEN'S VIEW OF RHODES.
The Great Historian Holds Him ms In
ferior Prototype of Warren
Hastings

DR.. Mommsen, the great historian
IF the Roman empire, of Berlin,
draws parallel between Cecil
Rhodes and Warren Hastings, holding
the former to be an inferior copy OF
the latter. Both we're imperialists,
both extended immoderate1y their
empire, caring little by what means
provided their end was attained
Rhodes was less patriotic than Has
tings, for, though Hastings wrung
vast sums from the people he subju-
gated, he died poor Rhodes also
served a company, but one Of his own
creation, and chiefly for his own ends,
and he died a sextuple millionaire.
Speaking of world policy, Dr.
Mommsen said he was in favor Of an
alliance of Germany, England and
America. It was to he hoped for, and
If attained il should be guaranty
Of the worlds peace and progress.

STUDIED CORAL FORMATIONS.
Prof. Agassfz, of Harvard, Pleased
with the Results of His Trip to
the Maldiye Islands.

Prof. Alexander Agassiz, of Har-
ward, who has returned after a month
spent in examining the coral reefs
of the Maldive islands, in the south
ern Indian ocean, says he learned
more in that time about coral forma-
tons than in the whole Is years he
had previously studied the subject.
His specimens have been shipped to
the museum at Cambridge, Mass
Prof. Agassiz last October chartered
the British steamship ArmL He was
accompanied by his son, DR.. Wood
worth, and II. B. Bigelow as assist
ants.
They took many deep-sea sound
ings, studied the formation of atolls
and took large number of photo
graphs. Next year Prof. Agassiz will
continue his Investigations in other
parts Of the world.

WOES OF CHILDREN OF RICH.
Mr.. Percfva1 Chubb Declares THAT
What They Need Is a Good Roll
in the Mud,

"Too much tutor and too little IA
Their; too much clothing and too little
mother; too much boarding school
and too little home" is the way Perez
val Chubb summed up the misfortunes
of the children of the wealthy on
Thursday at the meeting of the Soci-
ETY. for the Study of Life in the Tux
edo, New York city.
"Our wealthy children are disrepu-
tably Clean" said Mr.. Chubb. "They
are little patterns of anaemic prim-
ness. They exist merely for their
clothes. A good roll in the mud is
what they need. Mud pies, that bless
ed institution of happy normal chill
dren, would be their salvation.
"a plush civilization is not the one
for children. The home on whose
walls the pictures are crying out for
space is not the home for children.
Parents must decide whether the up
holsterer, the tailor or the child shall
rule the home.
"Mony Fifth avenue houses" he
said, look like the place of tombs'
or of lost souls. The children have
also the great misfortune of not 60
ing to the public schools. The private
schools have too long vacations, dur
ing which the hotel piazza disease fas-
tens itself upon the children"

KRUGER'S LIFE AT UTRECHT.
Newspaper Correspondent Says He II
More Phlegmatic and Taciturn
Than Ever.

Cabling from Utrecht, the London
staff correspondent of the New York
Tribune says there is no decline in
the popularity of former President
Kruger, although he lives in seclusion
and is seldom seen outside his villa in
this small factory town. He is sur
rounded by swarm of relatives and
Boer eXiles, sees few visitors, and is
more phlegmatic and taciturn than
ever. He is unmanageable in money
matters, and so deliberate and eau
tious in expressing his opinion and
Judgment respecting South African af-
fairs, that he is seldom consulted by
the other Boer leaders. DR.. Leyds is
received as the diplomatic representa-
tive of the South African Republic and
allowed to display his full uniform on
state occasions at The Hague. Mr..
Kruger is private citizen, living in
exile, and is not encouraged to visit
the capital or appearf in public. Yet
he is reverenced throughout the Meth
erlands as a hero.
Mr.. Kruger is Enthusiastically aging,
the dispatch concludes, as his follow
ers admit. His heart action is better
than it was and his general health has
improved during his residence near
Utrecht, but his mind has grown dull
and his grim humor has disappeared.
He remains the central figure of the
group of Boer refugees, because his
personality IL still unrivaled.

WRITING A SECOND NOVEL.
John Philip sousR, the "March KinR1
Hard at Work on History of
His BOyhood.

John Philip Sousa is writing a his
tory of his boyhood adventures in
the form of a novel-his second, by
the way-but it will set down almost
literally many things that happaned
in the younger days of the present
march king" Mr.. Sousa a few days
ago closed contract for the book
with the Bowen-Merrill company of
Indianapolis, and probably will finish
it before his departure in the autumn
for his European tour.
He will place his story in the
southeastern part of Washington and
along the Anacostia river. There are
to be found many qrgint characters
even to-day. There, too, is much his
torical ground. Bladensburg, besides
figuring in the war of the revolution,
was the old dueling ground where
gallants of the early republican days
repaired to settle their disputes. At
mosphere is furnished also by the
hunters, who even now find great
flocks of ducks, rail and reed birds
along the Anacostia.
Mr.. Sousa's book will tell the story
OF two boy chums. One was strong
and full of fight and the other was
lacking in physical strength but
smart at his studies and music. The
two were constantly together, the
strong one defending his weaker
chum and always bowling to his supe-
rior judgment III matters of mind.
