A Genuine Philanthropist.

The late Quintin Hogg, founder of
the London Polytechnic school, which
has between 10000 and $4,000 stu
dents and members drawn exclusively
from the poor classes, started his
work among poor boys when he lef,
Elton in 1864. He began with two
little crossing sweepers and organ
lied a Ragged school, the equipment
for which consisted of tallow
candle stuck in an empty beer bottle
and two bibles. To learn the ways
of the boys he bought a bootblack' S
kit, and for over six months spent
two or three nights each week with
the waits, eating with them ana
sleeping with them wherever they
happened to be, in all kinds OF
weather. His Ragged school grad
ually grew in size and Importance,
until he built the great Polytechni,
que, which has been the most sue.
cessful institution of its kind and has
been a model for many others now
located in the large cities of England.

Big Railroad Plans for the West.

Railroad improvement plans that
may mean almost as much to the west
as the original projection of the
transcontinental lines are announced
from two rival quarters. Both of
them look forward to reducing the
travelling time between the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts to four days. In
asmuch as it is only fifteen years
since this amount of time was neces-
sary fer little more than half the
journey. and since, under such rela-
lively SLOW transportation, the farther
west advanced to its present splendid
development. there must be very
large and notable progress awaiting
il under the new program of the rail
roads The first announcement in
this direction was made some weeks
ago by President Hartman of the
Southern Pacific. who declared that

alterations in roadheds, to build some

Quakers' Mayor an EnuIishman.

Philadelphia has contributed an un.
usual bit of news to the political his
tory of American cities by electing
! to its mayoralty an English-born
citizen Mr.. John Weaver. The
successful candidate was regarded as
machine republican, though he had
won his way to the higher honor
through the trying Office of district
attorney. He was the choice of the
city by majority of 10000 votes.
In contrast with Mr.. Weaver's cleo
ton, interest grows intense in the
Forthcoming mayoralty campaign in
Baltimore, where strenuous efforts
are being made to secure the re-
election of the present mayor,
Thomas G. Hayes. Mr.. Hayes has
made striking record as reform
official having been successful in
working out numerous popular plans
for taxation of franchises and in
creasing the city revenue, in raising
the city 31s per cent. bonds to a
premium price of ia, in lifting the
public schools out of politics, in re-
'ducing the tax rate, and in scaling
the public expenditures. The
machine is strongly against Mr..
Hayes, but the preliminary indica-
tons appear to be in his favor. Balti-
moreans, having had taste of that

STORY OF AN INDIAN CHIEF.
White Calf of the Blackfeet, Died at
Washington Recently.

For sixty years as boy, young man
and fierce warrior he had roamed the
prairie free as the other wild crea-
lures who travelled 1t, and happy in
his freedom
He had been but a little fellow
when the white man first came into
the country to trade, but he was old
enough to have been present, and was
well enough thought of in the tribe,
at the signing of Gov. Stevens treaty
with the prairie people in 1855 to afiiX
his mark-as The Feather-to that
paper. AS yet the coming of the
white man meant little to him and to
his people. 1t furnished them with I
market for their robes and furs, for
which they received in exchange guns
and ammunition, which made them
more than ever terrible to their en-.
emies. The whole broad prairie was
still theirs 10 camp on and TO hunt
over Their lodges were pitched along
the streams from the Red Deer river
on the north to the Elk river on the
south, and tSelr war Journeys extend
ed south to the country of the Mexi-
cans.
More than twenty years ago hap
pened the greatest misfortune that
ever came to his tribe The buffalo
disappeared and never returned. From
this time forth they We're forced tc
depend upon the food given them by
the white man and, in order to receive
that food. they were obliged to stay il
one place, confne themselves to tina
little corner of ground, their reserva
ton.
Long before this he had become tn,
chief of his tribe-the father of hi
people. Already he was putting thei
welfare before his own, and was think
ing first of them and of himself last.
For 1t was the duty of the chief Z
look for the wen being of his people
to care for the widows and orphans
to make peace between those VIII

his whole mind to the work of helping
his people to be happy Such wer

example and his precept so much de

How can cease to pray for thee
Somewhere
In Gods great universe thou art today
Can he not reach thee with his tender
care?
Can he not hear me when for thee
pray?
What matters it to him who holds
within
The hollow of his hand all worlds, all
space,
That thou art done with earthly pain
and sin?
Somewhere within his ken thou hast
a placei
Somewhere thou Invest, and hast need
of him;
Somewhere within his ken thou hast
to climb;
And somewhere still, there may be
valleys dim
That thou must pass to reach the hills
sublime.
Then all the more, because thou canst

GAMBLING PROFITS BIG.
Man Who Controls Game in Mexi-
can State Makes 100000 a Year.


Did you ever hear of the man who
broke the bank at Camanea?"
Possibly not, as the Camanea
gambling resort has not attained the
fame and prestige which is given to
Monte Carlo. The bank is there and
better known rival in the domain of
the prince of Monaco.
Frank L. Proctor is the ruler of
this gambling territory. In extent it
is far greater than the territory of the
prince. 1t occupies an entire state in
Mexico. Frank Proctor has absolute
sway over the state of Sonora. The
government of Mexico has given him
a long term lease on the gambling
privileges.
Camenea is the richest and largest
mining camp in Mexico. 1t is in the
center of Proctor's gambling prin-
cipality. Not many years ago Proc
tor, now prince of Camenea, was a
cowboy in Arizona, not extremely
we'll fixed in this worlds goods.
Not many years ago w. c. Green
married a daughter of Proctor and
afterwards managed to attract some
eastern capital to mining schemes he
had on foot in Sonora. Today he
owns a s30,OOO,O0O copper mine
Through Green Proctor was provided
with the gambling privileges in the
state. The concession gives him the
income of a multi-millionaire.
Over the gambling tables at Ca.
manea it is said that $4,000 passes
every night. Some days the total
amount has run up to 100000. It re-
quires 500 men to operate the tables,
and profit of 100000 a year is
derived from that place alone.
Not only does Proctor control the
gambling of Camanea but also that of
Hermosillo, Guaymas and Alamos.
When it is understood that the popu.
lation of Sonora would rather gamble
than eat it may be appreciated what
an enormous sum passes into Proc.
tors hands annually.

In science its wants are manifold
II lacks equipment for the study of
metallurgy, its instruction in geology
is woefully Inadequate. 1t needs 4
mechanical laboratory, with instruct
ors. buildings and machines; IL has
no engineering department and is far
behind the times in the attention it
paws to physics. Something seems to
he wrong with the relations OF Eng
land to oxford. Perhaps the trouble
is that the old university has been so
long regarded as the rich mans uni
versity and as a source of income
and maintenance to fortunate fellows
that the British public is slow to
realize that the venerable nurse of
learning herself needs to be fed.
There is no lack of money in Eng.
land but the British millionaires
seem not to have formed the habit so
widespread here of giving money to
universities. DR.. Andrew White,
defending his countrymen from the
charge of greed, said last November
in a valedictory speech in Berlin
that the gift of over s70,000,000 to
American colleges in 1901 abundantly
proves that if the American knows
how to chase the mighty dollar he
also knows how to use it. The
British are earnest money getters,
but they don't seem to have the
American accomplishment of letting
it go-Harper's Weekly.

BRIGAND INVESTS SICILY.
VarsaIona has Six Spies Murdered and
Defies Regiment of Soldiers.

When Musolino was captured after
chase extending over nearly three
years, 1t was fondly hoped that the
race of great bandits had been def
nitely uprooted in Italy. That this is
far from being the case is evident
from the accounts of the exploits in
Sicily of another and far more terrible
brigand, named francesca Paolo Var
salona.
The authorities have been straining
every nerve for the last six months
to capture this notorious outlaw, but
as yet without success. A reward of
$4,000 has been offered, but such is
the fear with which Varsalona Is re-
garded that nobody had been tempted
to turn informer, especially as no
fewer than six would-be spies have
been found murdered.
Wholesale arrest of suspected ac-
completes. including such important
landowners as the Duke of Cordova,
have proved equally fruitless, and,
although hundreds of gendarmes and
whole regiment of regulars are patroli-
ing the infested district night and day,
Varsalona is still at large.
Several gendarmes have been shot
by the mysterious brfgand, who ap.
pears to be as invisible as he is
ubiquitous. A gendarme named Car
bonare met death near Ternini tort-
night ago
It is feared that Varsalona will con-
clude a defensive and offensive al
lance with another notorious Sicilian
brigand, in which case the authorities
will have to wage a veritable war
against the bandits and their follow
ers. So serious is the view taken by
the government of the situation that a
bill has been laid before parliament
for the granting of special funds for
the carrying out of vigorous cam
paign against these brigands.

ST. BERNARD A NEW CONFER.
IT is Only Forty Years Since This
Breed was Domesticated Here.

Forty years ago the st. Bernard dog
was hardly more than a myth to most
Americans. In Sunday school liter
ature he figured occasionally, to the
joy of dog-loving children, but the real
live hero of Alpine fame they would
not have recognized had they seen
him.
Comparatively few of our country
men visited Europe in those days; our
leisure class was limited and jour
ney abroad meant as long a stay as
possible in the great cities among the
treasures of art st. Bernards were
rare upon the great highways of travel.
Their work was on the bleak mountain
passes protecting poor wayfarers
from the fury of the elements and far
away from the beaten tracks of foreign
tourists.
Travellers who crossed into Italy by
way of Tete Noire pass and saw
beautiful young pups there were some
times tempted into buying them, but
the risks of transportation were great
and very few crossed the Atlantic.
Prior to the early '70s most of the
importations went to New York state
and the first fine collection. or kennel,
of them known belonged to Colonel
Parker of Albany.
Soon after the era of dog shows
opened the eyes of the general public
to the wonderful beauty extraordinary
size and charming character of this
breed and then the St. Bernard bound
ed into popularity, and as American
dollars ever fly fast after beauty and
fashion, many thousands were ex-
changed for beautiful specimens of the
Alpine mastiff. Country Life in
