Washington,s Fortune.

Richmond Dispatch.
 Whether Washington can be put into the envied category of millionaires nc one can assert positively. According to the late Paul Leicester Ford, whose work "The True Story of George Washington, has received wide recognition, the fath- CT of his country when he died was clude his wifes property, but neverthe- less 1t made him one of the wealthiest Americans of his time. Ford adds:
 And 1t Is to be questioned if fortune was ever more honestly acquired or more thoroughly deserved
 John Adams. however. probably would have differed with Ford on this point had the two ever come together. In one oi his recurrent moods of bitterness and Jealousy toward Washington. Adamf asked:
 Would Washington have ever been commander of the Revolutionary army or President of the United States if he had not married the rich widow of MT. Custis?"
 According to Mir Ford, it seems that military fame before his marriage That the widow of Custis was a desirable ''partie7 is not to be denied. however, as her part of the Custis properly equal ed .15, coo acres of land, a good part of ii adjoining the city of Williamsburg sev- eral lots in the said city, between 200 and 300 negroes and about 5000 or 10, GOO pounds upon bond" estimated at the time at about 1000 pounds in all. This property was further increased on the death of Patsy Custis in 1773 by half of her fortune, which added 10000 pounds to the sum.

EX-GOVERNOR BOIES
MAY BE A CANDIDATE FOR
 PRESIDENT IN 1904.
If Successful in His Race for Con gress in Speaker Henderson's District, Thinks He Will Go on Up-sees Victory in
 the Tariff Issue.

Waterloo Qa.) Special.
 From his Grundy County farm to a seat In the National House of Represen- tatives. from the floor of that House to the Presidential chair-this Is declared to be the ambition of Horace Boies, twice Governor of Iowa, and the only Demo- crat who ever carried the State since the Republican party came into existence. Seizing upon the present opportunity. when the sudden withdrawal of Speaker Henderson from the race for Congress has given the appearance of breach in the Republican ranks on the question of the tariff, he hopes to win a sufficient number of votes from that party to send him to Congress, where in all probability he would be the only Democratic mem her from the stanch Republican State of Iowa.
 His election on the issue of tariff re- duction in such a strong Republican dis trict, if 1t could bc brought about would make him at once the most conspicuous figure in the Democratic fight against protection, and would bring the tariff is- sue to the front in place of the worn-out silver question, which the Democratic party would gladly drop if another rally ing cry could be secured.
 Friends of the ex-Governor declare that 1t is his purpose to make the campaign in thesThird District wholly on the tariff and trust issues, believing that on these alone can he hope to win support.
 That the ambition of Horace Boies reaches even to the White House is no secret. Twice before. in 1892 and in 1896. he went into the National Convention with a strong following. When the free- silver issue swept over the West Boies got on the unpopular side of the question and was for several years in very poor standing with his party in Iowa. Now. however, the Hawkeye Democrats are anxious to drop the money question and are ready to hall with delight the man who can give them a new issue. Many Of the State leaders have been in confer- ence with the ex-Governor during the mast few days, and friends of the candi- date are authority for tho statement that the eyes of Horace Boies are once more turned in the direction of the White House.
 Bryan. they argue, Is no longer pos- sihiIitv as candidate. This being so, there is nobody left but Tom Johnson. and he is not looked upon with great deal of favor in tho West. The ohlo man. fin the belief of Iowa Democrats, has by far too much money for a friend of 'the common people," They want man who is in close touch with the farm CT and the workingman and they believe that Horace Boies, the Grundy County farmer will fill the bill.
 But all these ambitious plans rest upon the hope of success in the campaign for Congress in this District, and here Is where the exzGovernor Is likely to meet

with disaster. Republican leaders from every County In the District declare that there will be no difficulty in electing the candidate to be nominated by the Hamp- ton Convention Thursday by as large a majority as that usually given to Colonel Henderson. But the buzzing of the Pres idential bee in the meantime will greatly disturb the rest of the sage of Water loo."
 That the ex-Governor intends to make this an anti-tariff and antitrust cam paign is shown by his declaration to an interview this afternoon. "The question of tariff." he said. Ifs the paramount is- sue before the American people. It Is 6 question of the gravest and most vital import. The present protective tariff is largely. almost wholly. responsible for the alarming growth of the trusts. To my mind the two are one and insepara- ble. I firmly believe that for the next four years no public Issue will be thought of importance as compared with them"

President Diaz's Trip.

In Europe much interest Is being shown in the possible visit of General Porfrio Diaz, President of Mexico, in the near future. Should President Diaz make the trip, he will be the first President in the Western Hemisphere who. during his term of office. has left his own country.
 General Diaz has never yet visited Ell- rope. He wishes to start in November, staying ten days in Havana as the guest of President Palma, H. s. Rubens, Vice. President Estevez, and General Maximo Gomez.
 From Cuba he will go by special steam er put at his disposal by the manager of the spanish transatlantic Line, to some Mediterranean port, probably Bar celona or Cadiz.
 President Diaz and his family will visit most of the Continental countries and make trip to England. He will spend most of his time. however, in France and Spain. returning to Mexico by way of the United States.

Artesian Water Power.

Marion Standard.
 The Standard has oftimes called atten- ton to the numerous artesian wells In this section of Alabama, and is astonish- ed that The Advertiser is not better post ed, as it's able help might have been felt in directing attention thereto. The well referred to by MT. Yerby is only one in possibly more than hundred that might be utilized in like manner. The Sprott well, near Marion flows stream of about six inches with force of a gusher the noise of which can be heard for some distance The stream from this we'll forms small creek and could be easily utilized for the running of machinery. The Advertiser should know that in the Vls, one in particular is the Gilman well which supplies water for whole block in the center of the city, and is utilized in various other ways. and could he used as power for running machin- cry. Marion. Unionto~n and Greensboro get their water supply from artesian wells, and while air lifts are used it is simply because these towns are located at a higher altitude than the average country with which they are surrounded.
 A few hundred dollars will secure an overflow well on nearly any farm in this section of the State. The Sprott well above referred to only cost about s350. The Standard believes that the time will come when this section will be irrigated from artesian wells, and that the agri- cultural product from truck farming as well as the raising of corn, rice and grass together with fruits adapted to this eli mate will make 1t one of the wealthiest sections of the South. The lands are equal in richness to the prairies of the West. and anything that can be grown at all can be made to produce abundantly, and with little or no fertilzing excepting diversity In crops The Standard is glad the attention of The Advertiser has at last been directed to the natural possi- bilities of the black belt, and looks for Ger tT, t- tention of the public to what can be &C., complished here. Strange, but true. with advantages that have never been told. the black belt has always prospered and with less effort towards progress and development than any section in the State.

------------------------------ CARNEGIE TURNS BEGGAR.
English Wish His Libraries in Jer icho on Account of Maintenance.

Brooklyn Eagle.
 A year ago the curse of Andrew Car negie's existence was the persistence with which town clerks and liorarians throughout the countrE followed him, hat in hand, begging him to donate some of his gigantic wealth toward their own little local libraries. The smiling little author of triumphant Democracy was obliged to pull in the drawbr1dge or ms Scotch fortress and to shout through the mullioned windows his defiance or the literary and municipal besiegers. Grad ually, however. there has been change The besieged has become the besfegT No sooner have the people of one district found themselves in possession Of MT. Carnegie's munificent donation than they awake to the fact that the whole thing is a gilded pill a delusion. snare fraud, a disappointment. because. you see, when they Have built the library they are obliged to maintain 1t at their own expense; and if there IS anytnmg m m the world that the acceptor of free gilt loathes 1t is to be obliged to pay for its maintenance later on. There is a uni versal howl against MT. Carnegies gem erosity. If he plans a library in, let us say. little Puddington, the taxpayers im- little Scotchman's impudence and lack of consideration in forcing up the rates and taxes of the district. They did not want these libraries badly. They merely thought it would be good thing to be alongside the times, to have one of Mir Carnegie's gifts in the neighborhood but as far as the actual possession of the treasures of literature Is concerned. they care not a row of pins. and now that the additional burden has been piled on the poor taxpayers backs, they wish MT. Carnegie would go to Jericho. It is one of the most brilliant illustrations of spy ing down the gift horses mouth that l have ever seen.

STATUES DYING.
Salt Baths Have Been Recommended e, Patients in a Very Bad Way.

nt EALleuts 1n tery 0au way. z. New York Times.
 very curious disease, extremely infectious and resembling smallpox among human being has broken out among the statue3 in the Egyptian Room of the National Skouloudes, the distinguished politician and archaeologist, noticed a few days ago some strange green marks on one of the bronze statues of the famous Egyp. tfan collection presented to the museum in 1881 by Mir. Demetrios of Alexandrias
 He at once communicated his dtsc0y- cry to the curator, who called in experts to examine the statue in question: They pronounced the marks to be due to an infectious complaint to which bronze IS liable. and which gradually spreads from the surface of the object affected to fha inside. until the whole crumbles away into dust. fsss
 The other bronze statues in the saHs found that they were more or less tainted with the disease, while five of them wers in very bad condition. These are the statues of Anta, the goddess of war; of Maout, wife of Jupiter Ammon; of Isis and two statues of Osiris. one of them ot great value.
 Worse than that. the infection has spread to the Mycenaean Room, which contains the results of the late Dr. Schliemanns excavations in 1876. There a dagger which was found in the fourth and finest of the six tombs has fallen victim to the disease. Altogether about fifty statues are badly affected. and the loss will be very large. unless the plagua can be stayed.
 A leading Athenian chemist pronounces the cause of the malady to be the pres ence of salt in the bronze of which the statues are made. and his remedy Is to extract it by means of baths. Mir. Mom- phematos, the Minister under whose de- partment the museum, comes, is taking steps to save the bronzes.
