those who are not. 1t can't do
them any harm and may be of ben

GENEROSITY OF RICH MEN.
The Beque,ts Of Wealthy Men For the Year
1902 Amounts to Over $SS.O00. 900.

The Bequests Of Wealthy Men For the Year
1902 Amounts to Over $SS.000.0Oo.
During the year 1902 the gifts
and bequests that were made public
and which have been compiled,
amount to over SIS, 900, GOO. This
Is an enormous amount and would
be tribute to American liberality
IL 1t were all that bad been given In
charity and endowment. But besides
the sums known to have been given
there has been a vast amount OF
money disposed of In one form or
another for worthy purposes that
has not been made public. There
are men who still obey the scrip
tural adage to keep the acts OF the
right hand secret from the left.
AS rule the rich man Is found
fault with when he gives Of his
abundance to the church, to educa-
cation, to the hospital or to any OF
the other forms that his liberality
profftrs. The stock argument being
that he should not accumulate the
money or that he should divide Il
with his employees. Such argu-
ments are wholly untenable. The
man who has money Is probably
entitled to say how he shall dispose
of 1t. Some of the rich men might
do better; some do very we'll. Pa.
irons of colleges all over the coun.
try. of hospitals and churches 6ud
no fault with the men who, for sew
eral generations have been giving
OF their abundance to public benefit
The rich mans gift has been such
factor In education that without 1t
the United States would not be the
intelligent country that 1t Is. The
size of the benefactions In the year
1902 Is enough to make the old
world wonder. However, nothing
surpasses an American any more.

That an active poison of some
kind Is sold as whiskey in certain
localities, Is shown by the deaths
that are reported among the poor
wretches with too much co1vital-
ity In the slums. There used TO be
some truth, as we'll as little grim
humor, In the stories that are told
about the fighting whiskey that
was s.sold In some places, but
the stuff that sends a man to the
morgue In 4S hours must be worse
than fighting whiskey."

OIL DEVELOPMENTS
THE OIL MARKET.

Summerset "
S.
The production of Pennsylvania
oil for December according to pipe
line runs will show a decrease from
that of November of about 1900
barrels daily average.
The purchase of producing prop
critics off the lines of the Pure Oh
company Is one of the most snc'
cessful of the methods of wsrfare
waged against the independent In.
teres,s by the Standard OH COM
pany. 1t was this policy that com
PEELED the Pure OH company TO ex-
tend Its lines to the West Virginia
and Ohio fields adjacent to the
Ohio river. The production thus In
creased Its earnings during the past
year and he has enabled the inde-
pendent refners to increase their
profits. There Is some question as
the benefits to the producers as the
Standards prices are always close
ly followed.
The price for which the re6ners
oil Is sold to jobbars and consumers
are such as to warrant much higher
prices for crude but Dan O'Day's
bumpers can hope for but little of
the margin of profits justified In
the markets of the world"
The price for crude oil has been
kept too low too long for the pres
ent advance to cause an increase of
operations in small territory. Pro-
ducers from the Pennsylvania fields
have been migrating to Ohio and
Indiana territory where territory IS
more easily secured and profits
equally as great as In the eastern
fields. At best 1t Is a tiresome
game and many producers have re-
stricted their operations with view
of waiting for prices that will justl'
fly drilling for the smaller average
o! wells.
Export refined oil has advanced
since the market reached was 81 22
just no points, which, If the basis
Of calculation on which cuts In
prices are made should justify an
advance of az cents instead of the
80 cents.
Clarinston, O.
The company composed of Chi
cago capitalists, who are going to
drill some test wells over the river
have located one on the David Ar
rick farm, on Sims Run, between
the old Austin we'll and the one
drilled on the Arrick farm at the
same time the Austin we'll was
drilled. The Austin we'll showed
up for good producer, and several
hundred barrels Of oil were pumped
out of 1t but 1t was finally aban'
doned, the salt water having got in
and spoiled it-so the operators
claimed. The Arrick we'll made
quite a showing of oil also but was
never operated. Now they seem to
think pay streak may possibly
exist between the two wells.
The same parties have also 10
Gated test we'll on the F. HARRISON
place, some two miles back of
Woodland and the rig is now under
way. They expect to put down
three or four wells at least In that
locality.
They are drilling away at the
Lapp we'll, north of town, and ex
pect to continue. at least till they
reach the Berea grit Independent.

cred by U, S. Supreme Court,

The libel case of Admiral Dewey and
others against the Don Juan de Austria,
captured from Spain, has been remanded to
the District Supreme Court by the Supreme
Court of the United States with a decrea
reversing in part the decree heretofore en-
tered in the District Supreme Court, ana
opinion establishing rules governing the
condemnation. According to the libeliant
many matters Of fact remain to be settled
before a final decree of condemnat ton can
be entered. requiring the examination of
extended accounts and making the case
proper to be heard and reported upon by
an auditor prior to being submitted for
decision.
In view of the foregoing, and upon mo-
ton of the libellant, concurred in by the
United States, Justice Anderson today
signed an order referring the cause to the
auditor of the District Supreme Court for
the ascertainment of the amount and value
ton under the rules laid down by the Su-
preme Court Of the United States in the
Manila prize cases.
BY the terms of the order if any ques-
tor is raised by the United States as TO
the right of the libellant in law under The
decision to condemnation of any portion of
the prize property, then the auditor shall
make separate finding in regard to such
property at the request of either party, and
shall report the question of law involved,
the amount and value of the prize property
embraced within the question and his con-
clusion thereupon.
The auditor is instructed by the court to
cree may be entered with little delay as
possible.

CLOSED SUNDAY LAST.
Thirsty Ones Unable to Get Liquor at
Chesapeake Junction.

Many of the thirsty ones who frequent
Chesapeake Junction on Sundays were I'M
able to get liquor last Sunday. Two of the
saloons have closed during the past few
days, and, it is said, will not open next sea-
son. One resort, that of James Godfrey,
was closed because of the experience of the
owner in court at Marlboro last week
There were twelve charges against him for
alleged violations of the law, and nine of
them were stetted upon his entering a plea
of guilty in the remaining three cases. In
disposing Of the cases Judge Merrick took
occasion to remind the defendant of his
past record, and warned him that his next
appearance would result In his receiving
sentence in which he would be unable to
purchase his freedom for short while.
The court fined him 500 and costs, and he
assured the Judge that he would give up
the liquor business. 1t is said that he sold
out his stock of drinkables the next day
and closed his doors.
