A LUCKY IS BILL.
Prom the New york Herald

From the New York Herald.
Blind Tom" Angus. who for many
years has sold papers at the West
Twenty-third street ferry, was made
happy yesterday when his counsel, l..
E. Hermann, Jr., of Jersey City, no.
titled him that he was 5000 richer.
Sixteen years ago. when living with
his parents in the Lafayette section of
Jersey City, Angus attended public
school. While returning to his home
one afternoon a playmate, William j.
juggling, accidentally threw ammonia
into his face. 1t destroyed his sight
and his school days were ended. He
obtained permission to sell papers at
the Pennsylvania ferry at the foot Of
West Twenty-third street, and he made
a comfortable living.
In 1901 Charles M. Schwab purchased
a newspaper from the blind boy, gave
him a five dollar bill and told him to
keep the change. A cab driver told
tom" the name of his benefactor.
With this five dollar bill tom" called
upon many lawyers in Jersey City and
asked them to institute suit against
Jungling's father. They declined, and
informed the blind lad that the claim
against juggling was debarred by the
statute of limitations. He continued
his quest, however. and eventually Mr..
Hermann took the case, but declined
to accept the S.. "Tom," however,
insisted, saying:
"Mr. Schwab, the great millionaire,
gave me that bill. think it's lucky.
Please take it,"
Hermann looked up the law and dis
covered that he had just thirty days
in which to bring his suit before it
was outlawed by the statutes. Toms"
sightless eyes moved the jurors and
they awarded him a verdict of $6,20S.
He had asked for $4,000. The verdict
was carried to higher court, but
realizing that there was little hope of
obtaining a reversal of the verdict,
counsel for Jungling recently opened
negotiations which resulted in a COM
promise.

justified in trying to open up new cot
ton fields, because of the profit there
is in growing cotton at those prices,
but there is very little encourage
ment in opening up new fields at the
price which prevailed yesterday.
1t is probable that nearly two-thirds
of the crop is out of the hands of the
farmers, and that more than half of
it has been marketed in this country
and abroad. The farmers will not suf-
fer so severely, therefore. as they
would If the belief had strongly pre-
vailed earlier in the season that the
crop was above 100000 bales.
1t is probable that the size Of the
present crop and the drop in the price
will have the effect of making the
farmers a little more conservative
than they otherwise would have been
in their planting. They were preparing
to plant a considerably larger acreage
next season than they planted this. This
is shown by the amount of fertilizers
sold. If the farmers are wise they will
give a little more attention to DIVERSE
fled farming next year.

GIOries of War.

Maj. Gen. Corbin, commanding the
Department of the East, tells the fol-
lowing with reference to a member
Of the militia of Northern state TAX
ing part in the recent maneuvers at
Manassas, says the New York Herald.
The guardsman was one day making
heroic efforts to get away with his
first ration Of army beef. A fellow SOL
der walking near him stopped to
watch. with some amusement the at
tempt of the Northerner to masticate
the meat. What's the matter, Bill p
asked he.
"Oh, nothin' much" was the sullen
reply. Then, disgustedly regarding a
piece of the beef that he held in his
hand, the Yankee added:
Now l know what people mean
when they talk about the sinews of
war"

GIRL MAY DIE FROM INITIATION.

From the New York Tribune.
Lafayette, Ind, Dec. Miss Alkaline
Irwin is suffering from a severe at
tack of nervous prostration and is not
expected to recover, and six other girls
are seriously i'll as the result of being
initiated into the Phi Kappa Theta
Society, local high school secret So
ciety. According to the story of one
of the victims, they were blindfolded.
Ice was passed up and down their
bare backs and at the same time a
red-hot branding iron was applied to a
piece of beefsteak.
A dish of angleworms was then
shown them, and, after being again
blindfolded, hot macaroni, as fried
worms, was forced into their mouths.
This made several of the girls sick,
but the tortuTes continued until all
were Frustrated. The school board has

KING PETER BUYS GROWN.
Belgrade Cablegram to the Chicag

Belgrade Cablegram to the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
The news has leaked out that the
broze crown, scepter and globe, made
by the skill of a Paris jeweler from
bronze of the cannon taken by the
ancestor of King Peter from the
Turks in 1904, have been purchased on
the condition Of monthly instruments.
The price for the three pieces was
$4,000. a larger sum than the King had
available, but the Paris jeweler, rath-
er than keep the coronation waiting
for an indefinite period, consented to
accept payment at the rate OF $400 a
month.
The treasury is known to be in such
condition that even this compare
tive small debt will weigh as heavily
on its resources as the bronze crown
weighed on the forehead of the King
during the ceremony of his coronation.

BREAKING DOWN AT THIRTY.

What good is all Of the wealth Of
John D. Rockefeller. Jr., going to do
him if he loses his health? 1t is an
nounced that he has been compelled to
give up business for two or three
months and go abroad. 1t seems he
has been unable to stand the strain
of his many business connections.
He is a director in ten great corpora
tions and he is expected to know
something about the affairs of each
one of them-enough to enable him to
act in its affairs intelligently. Be
sides, he has his regular business to at
tend to, and it is not improbable that
once in a while he takes a flyer in
Wall street.
He is said to be the richest man of
his age in the world. He is only thirty,
and leading Wall street men estimate
that If his father were to die now he
would control 1000 100000. This sum
is so great that the mind can hardly
grasp it, If Mr.. Rockefeller wanted
to it is probable he could bring on
money panic at any time, and could
wreck about any corporation in this
country.
What pleasure does he get out Of
all of his wealth? Does the mere
possession of it compensate him for
the burden of taking care of it? Does
the knowledge of the power it gives
him make him satisfied to be its will
ing slave for the remainder of his life?
And his life may not be long if it be
true that he is breaking down under
the weight of his responsibilities?
He doesn't get much pleasure out of
life-at least what the world calls
pleasure. He goes to bed at 10 o'clock
and rises at $780, He is at his desk
at o'clock. With the exception of
half an hour in which to eat his 30-cent
lunch, he tolls until p. m. Even his
Sundays are pretty fully occupied, as
he has to prepare for and guide
Sunday-school class of $50 men. Many
who envy him his wealth wouldn't ex-
change places with him If they had to
live exactly as he does and bear the
burdens he carries. After all, the hap
piest people are not those who have
the greatest amount of wealth. More
happiness dwells in a cottage than in
a palace

Of his majesty the Mikado of japan.
The other day Mayor Mcclellan had an
engagement to meet Prince Fushinai
the Mikado's representative visiting
this country, at the Hotel st. Regis.
But the Mayor was detained at the
City Hall on official business and did
not reach the hotel until some twenty
minutes after the time set for the
meeting. The Prince had waited fif-
teen minutes and then gone out for a
drive. He left a representative at the
hotel, however, who told the Mayor
when he came that If such an act of
discourtesy had occurred in his coun-
try, the offender would have been de-
capitated. The Mayor sunderland

high road to financial independence
and even ahiuence. Still we have
made only slight inroads upon
our resources.
There is especially one source of
wealth for farmers that we have here
tofore given little attention in Geor-
gia-the poultry business. Secretary
Wilson says that in single month of
their busy season" the hens Of the
United States lay eggs enough to pay
the years interest on the national
debt" These Industrious and valuable
hens live largely in other sections than
ours. We have not hens enough to lay
eggs for our own tables. and every
week tens of thousands of dollars are
sent out Of Georgia to other states to
pay for eggs and dressed poultry. Yet
there isn't a single good reason why,
instead of buying eggs, we should not
have them for sale to other people.

We regret being compelled to record
one of the worst financial failures that
has happened in Wayne county for some
time. The failure effects Isaac Wood,
Kirt Mosher and George Fl. Miskimmins,
of Washington township. They are all
comparatively young men and have
been dealing in horses for few years
past. Until Saturday of last week the
general public were not aware that
they were not in good financial shape as
each of them owned good farms. From
what we can learn they are comp etely
cleaned out, losing their entire farms
which together amounted to nearly five
hundred acres of the best land in
Wayne county, valued at nearly 100000.
At this writing it is not thought there
will be much loss to anyone outside of
the above named parties, except per-
haps the Cambria Bank holds unsecured
notes for about $4,000. The F. & NJ.
and Wayne County Bank at this place
were interested parties, but we under
stand they were secured. The above
named parties we understand, acted
very manly and secured everything as
far as their property would go. The
failure in such large amount is hardly
understandable and is very much re-

BRYAN'S PROTEST.

The Appeal belives that the six mil
lion Democrats who voted for Villa Il
Jennings Bryan in '96 will heed his
honest and scathing protest against
New York.
1t is easy to read the signs of the
times in his candidacy The element
of money brokers who laid the wires
to gain control of any administration
that happens to secure the reins OF
government have decided in their own
minds that the country is getting rea-
dy to throw aside the yoke Of the Rep
ublican party and the trusts and that
Democratic success is certain in Nov
ember. 1t accordingly stands them in
hand to get as close as possible 70
the next Democratic President. The
simplest way to accomplish this re-
suit is to nominate him. They have
accordingly prepared Judge Parker
for the Democratic nomination. He
looks good to August Belmont and
other Republican leaders and he looks
good to the Wall Stree People and the
trusts have looked him over and liked
his points and to cap the climax Grov-
ed Cleveland and Dave Hill have pro-
nOunced him all right.
Now the honest Democracy of the
country cannot allow such a candidate
to be forced upon them by the Wall
Street Republicans and Byan's burn
ing words of dissaproval are well
timed. He says:
my objection to Judge Parkers
candidacy is that he goes before
the country on a cowardly and
straddling platform that can only
appeal to towards and straddlers.
Il object to playing with loaded
dice. We don't know Judge Par
ker's views. I'm afraid there are
those who do. The people will not
look favorably upon a candidate
VIII refuses to make his views
known to the public, while con-
fiding them to August Belmont,
David B. Hill and others
Il was not defeated by the plat
form on which ran in sc an 1900
nor by the vote Of the Cleveland
men 1t was the odium Of the

feated me.
II was compelled to carry in
those two campaigns the sins OF

trayed his party
The last time Bryan ran in New
York he received more than 124 0O
votes, more than Parker received tn
last time he ran. Parker cannot carr.
