quiring 1t. When he was not forced to De in the center of the wheels-even then he was far lonelier than most politicians during his premiership, he used to steal away in a little brougham-ofte four wheeled cab--to Kings Cross and bury himself In the recesses of Hatfield as long as possible. The place, itself, IS sternly secluded; and even when political garden parties had to be given there the ex-premier often contrived to escape and get away by himself. His father was an even stronger lover of solitude, and had all the windows and outlets by which it was possible to see any part of the house from outside the ground bricked up or covered fin, and no one but mem bers of the household staff was allowed inside the gates.
 Lord Salisbury gets a carriage reserved for him when travelling by rail or any arranged journey, and when travelling short distance in public carriage busies himself In a book and is often not mo- ticed at all by the other travellers.
 But of all famous people who detest be- ing surrounded is Rockefeller. the oil king, and the richest man in the world. He passes from one house to another, often seeking solitude in the little cot tages built for him in the Adirondacks and other semi-wild districts, seeking al- ways to keep away from the world at large. His chief exercise is digging, at which he never misses at least on hours work day, and he goes into large cities as little as possible.
 Having a good many enemies-on pa- per, at least-he has often been warned against the danger of isolating himself, for It IS said he gets-or used to get-an average of two letters a week whose writers threatened to shoot him. To these and the warnings he pays not the slightest attention, but, if he finds him. self worried by curious people In the spot, he simply moves to another.

Some Modern Financing.

From the Philadelphia North American.
 Charles M. schwab in 1901 bought the 300, 900 shares of Bethlehem stoek-upon which the original holders had paid in only $500 OOO--for $7.2O0,000. The entire con- cern was transferred later to the ship building trust in consideration of sl0.- 100000 fin bonds, and like amount in common and preferred stoek-s90, ,00o,0oO.
 Of course, these latter figures are nomi- nal the stock being regarded as "bo- nus" and not as representing It's face value in physical property. Nevertheless the arithmetic of the promoters yields this result: A concern which cost the original in vestors $3O0.OO0 was capitalized at $30 100000
 Sober minded investors and honest q. nanciers may well ask by what system of reasoning men can persuade them selves that mere figuring can make one cent worth one dollar. For every dollar actually invested in the Bethlehem com pany $l0O worth of shipbulding paper was issued. Can anyone point out wherein this kind of manipulation differs from the idle figuring of feeble mindedness, ex- cept in degree? Yet not only do men Of national and international reputation lend their names to 1t, but banking and brok- craze firms of recognized conservatism" aid 1t by underwriting.
 When will the solid, sensible men of affairs awake to the peril toward which financial operations are tending and com. pei the abandonment of these disreputar ble methods?

PREFER LONELINESS.
Celebrities Who Hate Even the Sight
 of Man.

From the London Answers.
 Of all the famous people with an undy- ing hatred of being looked at or having strangers around them Rudyard Kipling Is one of the chief. He takes extraordin- ary pains to avoid the usual conse- nuences of fame-so much so that he has has recently given up the house ne mas liven in for so long, and was so altach- ed to- and fled from the race ol Hlaii' He settled years ago in a secluded house in the little village of Nottingham, near the Brighton, hoping to escape the world at large. But he was soon found and besieged by admirers
 Finally, char-a-banc owners LOOK 10 running special Kipling excursions from Brighton, bringing wagon loads or peopie to see the house and plot to get view of the owner This was so exactly oppo- site to the tastes and wishes or the Ia nous author that he recently stole away inland-much as he loves the sea-to a spot among the Sussex hills, near Bur wash far from any road or railway sta- tion, where he bought fine old farm- stead, buried in the depths of the coun- try. Every year he goes to South Africa for a spell and avoids society as much as possible He has the name for being TuQe anu curt WHitD OthtA oiioND oCfSAS from his horror of being pestered.
 Another strong objector to fame and inspection and fuss of any kind is Mar coni the electrical genius of the day. His pet method is to take remote country cottage for a holidy or for study, and hide himself completely so that no inter viewer or photographer can rout him out and torture him. If one abode be- comes known he shifts to another, and does nearly all his work either alone or with a single colleague. He is so follow ed especially when in Amerlca-that he sometimes finds the papers publish his intentions of going away to some re- treat for a day or two, upon which he quietly goes in a practically opposite di- rection; and baffled reporters have even declared that he drops hints of his in- tentions of going to certain place and then quietly chuckles to himself and goes elsewhere, leaving the pursuers lament ing.
 The greatest lover of solitude in Brit ain. however, is Lord Salisbury. who in herits the peculiarity, in addition to ac-

GOVERNORS CLASSIFIED
 AS TO THEIR CHURCHES

and was raised in a Methodist home. After reaching years of maturity, I satis- fled myself that the Methodist crt and discipline suited me better than of any other church. 1 am a Methodist, therefore, because of early training and because my experience and observation in later years have been such as to con firm the wisdom of my ehoiee.'
 As contrasted to Governor Mickey is Governor Chamberlain of Oregon. One is well satisfied in his belief, while the other seems quite satisfied in his liber- ality.
 T do not belong to any church." said Governor Chamberlain, although my parents and ancestors, so far as I know about them, have been Presbyterians. To that church, therefore, I lean, though l do not think 1t is necessary by any means to salvation. 1 am extremely lib- eral in my views, and if I were going t1 join a church would just as soon unite with the Catholic, the Methodist, or the church of any other denomination.
 Governor Peabody of Colorado always stands ready to express his religious views. When approached on the subject he says:
 T am an Eplscopalian, and have been for & good many years. I believe that their church record concerning success sion of apostolic authority is beyond question:
 Governor Mccullough of Vermont, while not church member. is religious man.
 q belong to no church," he said re- gently, but I lean to the Congregational belief It seems to me that It Is nearer right than any other"
 Likewise, Governor Frazier of Tennes- see is not a church member, although he leans to Methodism.
 Governor Sparks of Nevada Is a church. goer. but not church member. He and his wife attend the Baptist church, and the governor Is known as a liberal giver.
 Governor White of North Dakota is an- other non-church member, although he does not profess disbelief. His parents were members of the Congregational church, and hs wife Is a Quaker He was married under the Quaker ceremony, which, in his own words, takes fel- low in"
 Another state executive who is not a church member and yet is seen at ser vice ellnost every Sunday is Governor Bachelder of New Hampshire. He and his wife attend the Congregations church.
 Cover Toole of Montana is a noh- churchgcer, while his wife is Catholic.
 The position of Governor Van Sant f Minnesota is peculiar. He is an attend ant and trustee of the Central Methodist church in Winona, and yet Is not a mem- Der cf that or any other religious organi- zatlon. The members of his family are member of the church, however.
 Wblle Governor Cummlns of Iowa 's not member of any church, his wife is a Cangre gationalist and he often accom- pa iics her to service.
 "I an, a Congregationaist. al.htbgh not a member of that denomination" is the way Governor Chamberlain of Con- nec-icui puts it.
 He goes on to explain that his father and mother were devoted workers in that faith.

NEW DEPARTURE.
Solomon G Levi Introduce Suburban Delivery Covering Entire District.

Because of the immense increase in their family supply trade, Solomon & Levi, the "caterers to family trade" have been fairly compelled to inaugurate a system of suburban delivery that the private trade demanding the high quality beyer- age, may be promptly supplied with the least inconvenience to the patron.
 This is a new feature and one that will be appreciated by customers of this pop ular supply house of fine liquors. Their ad in today's paper shows to what por- tion this delivery will extend and on what days.
 Solomon & Levi Is an old concern, hav- ing been established in S3 and since their authorization in business have always en- joyed reputation for high class goods, fair dealings and entire responsibility. It is these mottos that have made their name familiar throughout the state and given them the distinction of having the largest retail business in the city and surroundings. They have always been first in whatever movement tended to introduce features for the special advantages of patrons.
 Many people, no doubt, will be glad to take advantage of their latest movement to supply their immense trade carefully and promptly. zee

I Exhaustion of Our Timber Re.
 sources.

From the New York Sun
 The possibility of substituting steel for wood in many lines of structural work was certainly fortunate discov- cry, inasmuch as our supply of steel promises t, outlast for long our supply of wood. Whether it be fully war ranted or not, Professor Fernow's re- cent declaration that, at the present rate of consumption, our supply of trees suitable for manufactured lumber would not last another thirty years commands the most serious attention. Even though there were a hundred years supply in sight the situation would still be so grave as to demand thoughtful consideration.
 We may owe nothing to posterity, but we are not justified in robbing them of so important an item in the life and work of the world by extrava- gant and even wasteful use of our forest supply. That wastefulness we undoubtedly inherit To the early American settler, and to numerous gen erations which succeeded him, the forest was a good deal of a nuisance They were obliged to destroy it over large dredS III OFucr to plant LDelE crops. There was a wilderness of it, and it was freely used. Generations grew up with belief regarding wood that there was always plenty more where that came from" Even now the idea of possible exhaustion, or even scarcity, brings amazement to all ex- cept those whose business interests have forced them to notice the rapid diminution of our forests.
 Accurate statistics of forestry are almost impossible Our American re- sources are roughly estimated at two million millions of feet, board measure. Strung out into figures, 2,000, 900, 100000. this presents the ap- pearance of an everlasting supply But some thirty thousand sawmills are cut ting this up at rate of forty thousand billion feet year. Vast areas are de- nuded of merchantable timber every year, and little is done in the way of restocking for future supply.
 Beyond the menace which this forest destruction holds for our water supply, there lies the only less serious danger of exhaustion of material which is. from any present point of view, abso- lutely indispensable.

Curtain Cleaning.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
 If your lace curtains are blackened by a soft coal atmosphere, don't put them h warm water. If you do they will be gray to the end of their existence, no matter what is done afterward to bleach or clean them. Instead soak them from 12 to 2i hours in cold water which has been changed once or twice.
 Light colored window shades may be renovated to look almost as good as new If taken down from their fixtures, fast ened taut and firm on table with tackf or pins. then vigorously rubbed with rad of coarse white flannel dipped in nne- ly powdered starch. As the pads becomt dirty, exchange them for clean ones, When the curtains seem as clean as they can be got. roll them up with new coat of starch well rubbed into them. and lay aside for 24 hours.

A Gentleman of the Future.

 Mamma, what is gentleman"
 It was in the year 1850 that these words were spoken. The kind and beautiful young mother drew to her heart the little girl with the patrician face, and repleid:
 "A gentleman, my dear, is one who has never done any work. It is a mark of vulgarity to work, and no gentleman would think of it."
 The little girl sighed a sigh of relief.
 Then papa is a gentleman?' she said half auestioninBly.
 Surely my dear. Does he not belong to a trade union?"
