Man Accused of Selling the Stolen
Boats at Liberty.

Ben Chambers, the man who vas
arrested by Constable Roberts for steal
ing boats and selling them to parties in
this borough, was back in town today
and again seeking work with II. c. Per
rine & Son. lie was captain of one of
Perrine's scows when he was arrested and
Mr.. Perrinc had to take the captain of
the other scow and put him in charge of
the one Ben Chambers had, as it was
loaded and ready 10 leave the dock.
1t appears that Chambers claimed to
nave sold the boats for another party and
remarked at the time, that he didn't
know why they didn't take the fellow.
He asked Mr.. Perrine to go on his bail
but Mr.. Perrine said if he was guilty the
jail was the place for him. 1t appears
that it was not the place for him, how
ever, for they could not hold him, as
they could prove nothing against him,
nor can they find the other fellow, who
it seems must have run away This one
claims hat he is not out on bail and
that Mr., Perrine is going to put him
back on the scow when she returns here.

MERELY A COINCIDENCE.
Postman Helps Out Man Who Ex-
hibits Scant knowledge Of
Sarah's Age.

"Probably it was just a matter OF
chance, but perhaps it was something
worthy of consideration by the sharps
on matters occult" began the mar with
the story of a coincidence to tell, accord
ing to the New York Sun. A
friend and myself were talking about
one thing and another in my office this
morning when the friend suddenly asked
me how old Sarah of the Bible was when
she became a mother.
81 said I didn't know, and led off on an
other subject to conceal my Ignorance
of what the man was talking about. If |
had been perfectly frank, | would have
confessed that l didn't even know who
Sarah was.
"Just then the mail was pushed through
the slit in the door. With the letters was
a sample copy Of a religious magazine
which | had never heard of before and
which. evidently, had been sent as an ad-
vertisement.
"I tore the wrapper off and threw the
magazine IN the desk. 1t opened of its
own accord and the title of the article
beginning on the exposed page was
Motherhood and the Age of Sarah"

WEALTH MADE A PURSUIT.
Few Who Have Won a Competence
Are Disposed to Retire
from Business.

In the United States leaders in every
lire OF activity, in politics and business
have bcea spicuously prone to die
as il is said, in harness, observes the
Bankers Magazine. But the list OF those
distinguished for their successful at
tainment Of wealth and fame, who have
continued their activities long after the
advance of 6 and the diminution OF
physical strength must have warned
them Of the approaching end, is a very
long one. In the older countries Of Eu-
rope, on whose civilization that CT the
United States is founded. it seems eaSiCl
for men who have more or less success
fully obtained the object they aimed al
to retire and enjoy freely the prizes they
have gained, although wen there the ole
barbaric struggle is in many cases kept
up to the end. Public opinion there, too,
b moro tolerant Of those who lay off the
harness before being compelled to DO 50
by the decree OF fate. In this country,
however. thers seems to exist in the
mind of the ordinary man a certain con
tempt for those who give up the strcnu-
Gus paths Of labor and ambition before
their strength has wasted away. The
successful mon Of tho United States who
have spruag from the masses are imbued
with thi. opinion. Until within the last
25 years the idea of retiring from active
life and settling down to a life in which
personal tastes and proclivitios could
be followed was regarded as at least
eccentric.
There have always been two Geces-
sary steps to be taken before retirement
from active life could with safety be ac-
complished; one was the requirement Of
wealth and the other provisions for its
safeFeeping. AS civilization progresses
the second and more important step al
be more easily managed. The individual
no longer has to depend upon his own
efforts to guard the store set aside for
his future support. The power of cor
porations, originally directed simply to
the accumulation Of wealth, is now to a
very great extent applied TO its conserva-
ton.
In Great Britain there has always been
a wealthy leisure class, and naturally
there has been a decentralization of the
manners and customs consequent on
such an association of wealth and
leisure. Public opinion is more tolerant
of a man who wishes to do what he likes
with his own than il has yet become in
the United States, The existence of a
leisure class. able and willing 10 enjoy
their lives nationally and intelligcntly.
is a check on the wilder exhibitions of
leisure on the part Of suddenly acquired
wealth, II also holds GU something be-
yond mere mO|ney-getting as the goal of
a successful life. II encourages retire
ment after reasonable fortune has been
gained and discourages to some extent
the piling up of exaggerated redundant
cy. The effect of a more philosophical
view of life on the part of our own bust
ness men will tend to a more even dis
tribution of wealth and a leveling of the
inequalities now so frequently pointed
out.
