The Pleasure of Giving.

The Rev. Robert Collyer says that
in the last twenty years the leading
American ambition has changed from
money-getting into money-giying.
Never before in the history of the
world has there been such an oItpour.
ing of wealth and in so many channels.
1t is not only the very rich who are
generous, but countless smaller gifts
come from others who are even more
generous since the credit is given to
the more conspicuous.
There is an example of this in the
Chicago University, with which John
d. Rockefeller'S name is linked. as the
founder and the giver of many
millions, but recent report shows
that many others have given NUM-
ficently and that altogether about
3, 900 people have contributed to it.,
which supports Mr.. Collyer's belief
that there is new realization of
human unity and a nobler ambition
rapidly taking the place of the merely
commercial ones.

1t is now pretty well established
that the real cause Ut the repeated
slumps in Wall street are due to the
need Of large sums Of money by cap
italists who became financially intox-
icated by their vast earnings" in the
boom period. Thus intoxicated, they
engaged in new enterprises, mourning
large obligations and taking upon
themselves burdens OF which they
would have steered clear under normal
conditions. Now they are sorely
pressed for funds to meet their obliga-
tions. In order to raise such funds
they are obliged to sell stocks at what
ever figures they can realize on. That
is what demoralizes the stock markets
on Wall street, and has driven num-
Der of millionaires to the verge OF
.bankruptcy.-South Bend Times.

Ruth Bryan Married.

Friday. October 2. Ruth Bryan.
daughter of William Jennings Bryan,
was 18 years of age. Saturday, Octo-
Der 3, she was married to William
Homer Leavitt, the artist who painted
Mr.. Bryan'S portrait. The parents
didn It take kindly to the marriage
not on account of any particular OBJ
lection to the artist, who bears good
name, but chiefly because they are
averse to youthful marriages and short
courtShipS. But Ruth appears to be
a girl who is as seIf-willed and de-
termined as is her father. She learned
to like and love the artist, and when
he proposed to her she accepted. From
this decision there was no appeal. The
artist is widower and by something
over IL years the senior of his young
wife.

the Fusion organization in Greater
New York by placing Mayor LOWS

Fusionists seem determine to take

Ready For the Debut.

"Yes," says the proud mother, '.if
do say it myself, there isn't another
girl in society who has been SO thor
oughly schooled and who has enjoyed
so many Of the preliminary advantages.
She has had the appendicitis, has
spent two years in a rest-cure. has
gone on six sea trips for exhaustion,
had seven attacks of nervous prostra-
ton, has been written up in the pa
perS as about to elope with the coach
man. and has been proposed to by ten
foreign musicians, and eight noble
men have looked her up in the finan-
cial agencies. Now that she is about
to make her debut see no reason why
she should not become great favor
tie, IL complete preparation has any
thing to do with it. From Judge.

In view Of the growth Of immigra-
ton at time when an increase Is not
economically desirable 1t is safe to
say that the labor leaders will appeal
to the next congress as they did to the
last one to restrict immigration. A
few years ago the union men, so many
Of whom are OF foreign birth or par
entage. could not have been induced
to ask for legislation to keep out men
of their own race They do it now be-
cause they are afraid the newcomers
will interfere with their wage scales.
That is their dominant thought at
this time.

has been connected with the Michigan
City prison for nineteen years has
been named deputy warden to I'LL the
position made vacant by the resigna-
tlon OF w. NJ. Barnard, now connected
with the reformatory at Jacksonville.
Mr.. Sewell will qualify and begin bis
duties at once. The new appointee
began prison duties under a Demo-
cratic warden and is credited with the
same political affiliations. Warden
Reid stated In an interview tonight
that the appointmeGt was made be-
cause of Mr.. Sewell's peculiar quail
dcations for the position. It will be
remembered IN this connection that
while the law does not require the ap-
p0intment OF democrat on the board
OF trustees OF the state prison, the
last appointee thereon was member
of the party opposed to the admins
tration in power. But these things
will not be mentioned in the columns
Of democratic papers who talk about
vicious prostitution Of state institu-
tions to partisan ends.

The value OF the annual egg product
OF the United States exceeds that OF
the combined gold and silver output
Of the country. The poultry and eggs
raised and eaten in the United States
last year were worth more than all
the gold or the silver produced in the
world in the same year. These are
a few Of the interesting facts about
the poultry business that have been
unearthed by one Of Secretary Will
sons experts in the department of
agriculture.
From the foregoing il will be seen
that the poultry is something worth
taking into consideration in calculat-
ing the resources and riches of the
country. Secretary Wilson believes
that large profits are yet to be made
by those who will take up the business
OF producing chickens along scientific
methods. He knows of a'number OF
instances where men have gone
into the industry on a small cap
itaI and by paying careful attention
to the work have made comparative
ly large fortunes. The statement of
the amount of money involved in the
industry is sufficient proof of the op-
portunities it affords for yielding good
returns on investments.
How well the hens performed this
duty may be gathered from the state
ment that in the last year for which
statistics are available 1890, 900, 600
dozens Of eggs were produced in the
United States. This allows for the
consumption of 2O3 eggs by every man,
woman and child in the country dur
ing that year, and makes the value of
the eggs per capita s1.S9.
Except for the year 1900 the egg
product Of the United States has ex-
ceeded il value that of the combined
gold and silver output Of the country
for every year since 1850. The same
statement is true of the poultry pro-
duct, save for the years 1899 and 1900.
The surprise occasioned by these fig
ures is still further heightened when il
is known that the poultry and eggs
together produced in single year are
worth more than either the gold OF
the silver production of the world for
any year since the beginning OF
records, expecting the two years OF
1898 and 1899, Pursuing the COM
parsons further, it is found that the
poultry and eggs of 1900 outvalued
the total exports OF animals and
animal products during all the years
down to and including 1900.

On the farms of the United States
are the most hopeful generation OF
boys of which the world has knowl-
edge. They are the very seed corn OF
the nation. From them will be re-
cruited not only the successors Of
their fathers as managers of the
farms and breeders Of the stock of
this great nation, but future captains
of industry, mighty merchants and
talents for the halls Of legislation.
the boards of trade and all the duties
of craftsmanship. The fathers of
these boys will make great mistake,
however, to teach them that they
mnst leave the farm in order to sue
coed.

Bos, Want, District Chairmanship.

Last SATURDAY. Frank w. Boss made
known to his friends the fact that he
had fully decided to be candidate for
district chairman and his announce
ment- was sent to most of the papers
in the Thirteenth district and to In
disnapolis papers. Mr.. Boss asks US
to publish the following.
l had not thought to make an
nouncement Of my candidacy now well
knowing that the work necessary to
secure election would occupy much Of
the time between now and the date of
the meeting Of the district delegates.
But it has been so well settled in the
public mind that l would be candi.
date and have been urged by so many
within this county to become candi-
date that l thought further delay in
deciding wholly unnecessary.
The craftsmanship of the thirteenth
Congressional district is one to which
any man may well aspire and / do not
hesitate to say that Ishould like the
position. But aside from personal
ambitions, / believe that Marshall
county is entitled to this position.
There has been but one term in the
history OF the thirteenth district that
Marshall county has had the chair
manship while the other large coun-
ties in the district have had the chair
manship repeatedly.
In several previous campaigns
the craftsmanship has been almost con-
coded to this county but the republi-
cans have declined to enter contest
for it. Now that the workers of the
party in this county have taken up the
newspaper reports that this county
should have the craftsmanship and as
sured me of their support, l have de-
cided to enter the race.
Marshall county alone cannot secure
the position for me, and consequently
1 am depending on assurances that
have been given me from other coun-
tles In the district. From letters which
haye received and conversations /
have had with scores of representative
republicans III other counties, believe
my election to be pretty generally
conceded. FRANK w. Boss.
