GOOD NEWS COMES

Hon. Mark Ayerill of Douglas, Me-

The evidence shows that Cohn al

declines to prosecute the man who

Cohn is q money lender who has Of

streets. The man who sold him the
brick is Max Guttel. who is said tc
keep junk store on Third street ard
who lives at 1856 Railroad avenue
According to Cohns Office employees
Guttel has devoted most OF his time TO
he race track.
Blackmailing is strongly charged by
-ohn's friends as the real cause why
ae should buy for $4,000 burden that
vas worthless. 1t is openly stated that
iuttel formerly imposed on Cohn To
he extent OF $1,000 ard gave MIN the
gold brick valued at $4,000. to settle
ne account.
Cohn refused to discuss the case. He
stated that he did not care TO talk

ently he is much broken in health anc

Klondike. accord ng to the statements
contained in letter received here to-
day from John Boultell well-known
mining man, who was attracted to

He says that Juan Mendoza. who dis
covered the new placer field. has
cleared more than $15.0Oo.OO0 In gold
from, his prope. ties during the past
four months.
Many Americans are fiocking to the
district and some of them have oo-
tanned title to placer cla ms which
have yielded them big fortunes in the
short time they have been working
Boulten says that he has a good
claim. which has yielded nearly So.

for several times that amount. Ee
asSerts that practically all of the good
gold clam have been taken up and

Preservation of Treasures.
ew York Tribune

From the New OK tribune
The burning of the Turin Library is rec
ognized as an irreparable catastrophe.
Unique literary treasures were absolutely
lost forever to the world. There were
ancient manuscripts which never had been
transla ted and whose contents were I'M
known to the present world. There were
many others, and there were books, of
known value. but of which no copies exist
All are now gone beyond recall, and the
lea rning of the world is so much the poorer.
Nor is 1t safe to say there will be no more
such losses. Other priceless libraries, even
that of the Vatican itself. probably no
more secure from fire than was that of
Turin The lessons of this mournful event
should surely not pass unheeded. They are
sufficiently obvious to make their appeal to
every custodian of literary treasures and
to every munificent patron of arts and
learning The first is, of course, to make
every library building as freproof as pos
s;ble That had VIGOROUSLY not been done
at Turin We have no knowledge that it
has been done at the Vatican at any of
the ancient repositories of literary treas
ures in the old world. Yet it would be
quite feasible to do SO in every case, and
that generally without destroying or i'm
pairing the antique beauty of the buildings.
To transform the Vatican the Bib
liotheaue Rationale the Bodleian. into
a fireproof building might not make go
great a show as the erection of a new
building or the founding of new college,
bu. it would be of more real benefit.

he st. James Gazette.

From the st. James Gazette
We hear so much OF American captains
of industry, of John D. Rockefeller the
farm laborer's son; of Edison, the news
paper boy; of Yerkes, the youthful soap
1obber; that we are apt to forget British
giants Of perseverance. Livingston worked
as a factory hand until twenty-five; the
man who sought and found him In the
wilds was born in workhouse The great
firm of w. H Smith & Sons was begun
by two brothers so poor that the wife of
one had to go into domestic service. The
house of Tangye began in little workshop
whose rent was but is. a week; that of
Lever Brothers had a scarcely more pre-
tentious start at Bolton. A coffee stall
on a London curb was the fount and origin
of Pearce & Plenty; 200 once formed the
total capital of the universal Whitley
Bass brewery was founded by a carrier;
the Elder-Dempster line of steamers by
ships apprentice, now Sir Alfred Jones The
inventor of. Bessemer steel was once
poor, almost starving boy in London the
poorer for having devoted his labor to an
invention of whose profits the government
robbed him. So one might go on throughout
the whole range of our industries It is the
sergeant and the plain constable of lifes
affairs who have made this nation indus
trially great, and carried its flag and fame
to the ends OF the earth.

Largest Pecan Grove.

From the Charleston News and Courier.
Not only do we grow better pecans In
South Carolina than any of the Texas va
riety that have ever been sold in this mar
ket, but we have If South Carolina the
largest pecan grove in the world. 1t be-
longs to Capt. John s. Horlbeck OF Charles
ton. and is situated in Christ Church parish.
Just across the Ashley river from this city.
We wish that it were possible for South
Carolina to enter the competition with
Texas in pecan nuts, and with Texas and
Louisiana and all the rest of the world In
rice and with New England in the manu.
facture of cotton goods. and with the world
in the production of fine cotton. small
appropria ton by the legislature and an ac-
tive agent IN the field would enable South
Carolina to take all the gold metals offered
for competition in field crops and orchard
products and manufactured goods 1t is
pty that the richest state in the south, in
proportion to It's area and population,
should be the slowest state in the south
to make its advantages known to the III
vesting and home-seeking world.
