CURRENT COMMENT
SOME USES OF WEALTH.

MT. whitney's fortune. estimated at $25. 900. 900. might perhaps have been twice as large had he followed the practice of many men of great wealth of accommodating money for its own sake. In his wiser estimate he regard ed riches not as an end to themselves but as a medium of exchange for pos sessions of greater value.
 He lived lavishly. He spent a small fortune each year in entertaining his friends. He bought art treasurers. built mansions, maintained country estates, kept a racing stable, and in general, from the safety deposit millionaire's point of view. put his money to ex- travagant and unproductive uses. His wealth was never hid away in a strong box awaiting stringency in the market to be loaned out at usurious interest.
 He endowed no libraries and built no hospitals. Yet his abundant dis tribution of riches was in effect a form of philanthropy which found its way into the stable-boy's home, helped the struggling artist, encouraged many business activities and eked out multi tudes of small incomes, From such q SOuFCe oL suppiy lFuStliylHS sbepIn of wealth goes out into the industrial world the abrupt cessation of which would be felt as a serious loss.
 In the multitude of millionaires whose chief ambition seems to be to see how big pile of dollars they can heap up there is surely room for here and there one who acts on his belief that the best use Of superfluops money is to spend it with discriminating prodig- ality for his own enjoyment, for the pleasure of his friends and the benefit of his fellow men.-New York World.

ing at a resort in East Fourteenth

The fight was over in time for the spec
tators IN get back to town before mid
night.
The combat took place in a well light
