RICH NOT TO BE ENVlED.
Banker Forgan Can Swap Positions
With Most of Us.

Chicago, June 1.-The rich man is
not to be envied. The poor man is
happier than the rich
With these words David r. Forgan,
president of the First National Bank,
told Il Fashionable audience in the First
Presbyterian church at Evanston, Sun
day night, that money alone could not
produce happiness. Mr.. Forgan was
delivering an address on character in
business" He said:
''The rich man has business cares on
his mind constantly. He worries about
them at night. The poor man can
leave his work in the evening and give
it little further thought until the next
day.
Il would like to get 81, 900, 900 before I
die but if the acquisition of that for
tune will make me hard and selfish,
God forbid that / should attain the de-
sired end"

tail was managed perfectly and was
thoroughly enjoyable.
The letter compliments Mr.. Cock
rell upon his success as their escort,

senting the gift.
The manner in which the testimo-
nial is given should set at rest the

ARRIVAL OF SHAMROCK III.


New York, june 10. Safe and sound
after rough passage from Gourock,
Scotland, of 16 days and % hours, Sir
Thomas Lipton's latest challenger for
the Americas cup, the Shamrock ILL.,.
Is now lying at anchor off Tomplins-
vile, 5, L. where she arrived at 1920
sunday morning, in company with the
steam yacht Erin that had towed her
most of the way across the Atlantic,
and by the Shamrock l., towed by the
British tug Cruiser The 1856 men
which manned the yachts and their
conveys are all well, and there were
no accidents to mar the passage.
Between Gourock and Fayal, Azores,
where the steamers stopped for coal,
calms and squally weather we're en-
countered. The Erin and her tow
became separated from the cruiser
and Shamrock ]. before reaching
Fayal, but they never lost sight of
each other after leaving there. On
June l2 the yachts were caught in
gale from the southeast, and while it
blew very hard and heavy sea was
running very little water was shipped
and no damage was done.
The new challenger is a far hand
somer craft than either the Shamrock
!. or II, She looks not unlike the CO.
lumbia above the water line, and her
beam seems greater than either of
those yachts, She tows easily, max
ing very little broken water at the
bow and leaving a clean wake. Her
captain, Robert Wringe, says she be-
hayed splendidly under all conditions
of weather during the passage across
the Atlantic
At 1890 Sunday morning when the
Erin was 100 miles cast of Sandy
Hook, the operator of the wireless
telegraph system on board the Erin
succeeded in raising the Coney Island
station, Capt Matthews then sending
the following message to be cablcd to
Sir Thomas Upton:
"Flcct arrived safely Sandy Hook,
Experienced rough weather during
voyage. SharnrocEs all right Wire
less working well 100 miles.
"MATTHEWS."
The reply to the message was re-
ceiycd by the Erin by wireless from
the Coney Island station at s;55 a m.
"DeIighted to receive news Convey
to all officers and men my best
wishes. hope they are all well and
fit as fddles. "LIPTON.'
