Woodbine Hotel building, erected in
Englewood for the Worlds Fair, and
which he bought after the close of the
fair The house has seventy-five rooms.
He lived in one room only. He took
care, however, that the other seventy
four rooms We're furnished.
Underneath his bed were ranged
eight violins, side BY side, each in a
leather case and each covered by a
white silk handkerchief. Here the
colonePs passion was concentrated. For
ten years he passed the time in that
room, rarely going out but to infre-
quent meals, and playing the violin
the remainder of his waking hours.
One of the eight Instruments was an
Amatf, worth $1,000. This was his fav-
orite, and no other hand was ever per-
mitted to touch it.
Sometimes the colonel would not APP
pear for two days, during which time
he had abstained from food. He would
then go to some small restaurant and
invest in toast and hamburger steak
at an expenditure of 10 cents, with Is
cents as the maximum. Before giving
his order he would draw carefully
from a pocket of his rusty frock coat
a cornucopia- shaped newspaper pack
age. In this was black tea that cost
81 a pound. He insisted that his cup
of tea be made from that. And he
confined himself to an average of one
meal day at a cost of SO a month.
Besides his violin his only other
known amusement consisted in finding
an Irishman with an emphatic brogue.
For him he would buy meals and
drinks, pouring out money freely, and
getting in turn the Irishman's talk.

Debts and Debtors.
From the London Spectator.


Casual moralists take different views
of the moral turpitude of debt Thev
call debtor anything between a thief
and a careless fellow The former
verdict is, of course, too harsh, though
we have often heard its justice serious
ly maintained, and it is certainly more
easily refuted by illustration than by
argument. On the other hand, to ex-
cuse debt as mere thoughtlessness, as
many upright people do excuse it, is
clearly absurd. The reason of This
divergence of judgment is, we think.
this Debt is a moral disorder, If not
in itself of fatal import. One or two
attacks in youth have as a rule no
lasting effects upon character Again,
debt is often symptomatic of serious
moral disease, because it is a common
outcome of the selfishness which lies
at the root of all departure from a
state of moral health. Consequently
the man in debt is much misjudged-
most often, perhaps, on the side of
leniency. There are men-and they are
right and wrong seem to be re-
placed by penal and "non-penal."
They owe money, but that is perhaps
the least thing they owe. They never
turn kindness or help, or justice even,
and certainly not affection, should any
one be unfortunate as to have let them
have any. They behave decently or
not, according to the nicely with which
they are able TO calculate conse-
quences.
