HAS FAD FOR PHOTOGRAPHS.
Thousands Of Negatives Made For
Millionaire August Belmont.

Among rich Americans perhaps
none is so fond of being photographed
as August Belmont, James r. Keene
being a close second. One New York
photographer, whose patrons are most.
iy wealthy men, has made thousands
OF negatives for Mr.. Belmont in the
last few years. One Of the largest
single orders for prints from old nc "a
tives ever received by this photog-
-apher came from Mr.. Belmont himself
soon after the death of his wife. 1t
included a good print from every mega
tive In which Mrs. Belmont appeared.
The photographer guessed how
many photographs he had taken for
Belmont till then; he found that they
numbered nearly a thousand.

Rich Vein of Ore.

Deadwood, s. D., Aug. 1.-THE Safe

very large vertical vein Of free-mill-

vein is at least 400 feet wide, and the

cross-cut at the 175-foot level and in
the center Of the ledge recent discov.

AS A PLANTER.
How Warrington Managed His Plan
tatiOn and Marketed His
Crop Of Tobacco.

AS Virginia planter Washington's
chief crop was tobacco. This tobacco
was shipped to the London market
under his own name, loaded upon YES
sells which sailed up the Potomac to
Mount Vernon, or other landings
convenient to it. An agent in Lon
don disposed of the shipments.
Twice year Washington would
forward lists of needful articles for
farm and household to this agent, re-
questing that the things be purchased
and shipped to Mount Vernon. Wear
ing apparel in this way was ordered
for every member of his family. the
names and measurements of each per-
son being given.
In addition to the general bill for
these purchases made by the agent,
the latter was required to forward re-
ceipted bills from those persons of
whom he bought goods. In this wav
check was kept upon the purchases
made. In those days as a planter
Washington was his own bookkeeper,
and the care with which his books
were kept is an example of tie thor
oughness that made the man.

In these forests the enterprising sub

Fire protection is one the things these

Chief Musham asks for 100000 more
this year than he had last. Instead OF
this increase, however, he must manage
to get along with mere than 100000
less, and if he is to accomplish this it
may be expected that more farm houses
will burn in 1904 than We're destroyed
by fire in 1903, as the tendency is to leave
the farms to shift for themselves and

Mary Washington, mother of George.
lived until she was SO years old, and
died only ten years before her son.
She is chiefly remembered from her
proud title of Mother of Washing
tom Her influence upon the deyel-
opment of his character in youth and
early manhood seems to have been
slight, for he was not at home much
after he was IA years old. He never
claimed his share of his fathers es-
tate, which was in her possession. and
he gave her direct support during
much of her life. Washington was
hurt deeply by proposition made in
the Virginia assembly to give his
mother a pension, and at his earnest
request the proceedings were stopped.
He was devotedly attached to his
stepchildren, and treated them with
the greatest Kindness He carefully
educated his nephews, and one, Bush
rod Washington, achieved prominence
as lawyer during the administrations
of Adams and Jefferson.

more than a very limited Indebtedness.
There is no way of bonding the city so
that future generations will have to pay
for present reeds, though it is proposed
to present to the voters of the state at
the next election for members of the
state legislature new charter for the
city which will permit a municipal in
debtedness not to exceed five per cent
of the full value of all the property with
in the city limits. Without some such
relief the city is on the high road to the
bow-wows.
Dirty streets, inadequate fire and po-
lice protection, a complicated and expen-
sive form of government is some of the
ills from which the city is suffering, and
for which there appears to be no immedi-
ate remedy. All of these things existed
last year when the city had 81, 500 900
tor corporate purposes, and ended He
year about 100000 in debt besides-a
debt of unpaid bills.
The difference between last year and
this is just about 20 per cent. But that
20 per cent. must be saved principally
by a reduction in the number of en-
ployes in such departments as the po-
lice, the fire, the street cleaning, ETC.,
rather than in the reduction of official
salaries, which are fixed by law The
slC5, 900 paid the aldermen as salaries,
the $4,000 paid the mayor, and all the
other official salaries will be paid as
usual.

HIS CLOSING YEARS.
Ihe venerable Washington Was Not
Permitted to Live Them in
Peace and Quiet.

While Washington was permitted to
spend his remaining days at Mount
Vernon, he did not succeed in finding
the peace and leisure that he had
longed for. His house was filled with
guests, and his correspondence was
large and laborious. In one of the
Kaleidoscope changes in the govern
ment OF France the United States was
ON the verge of war with that people.
and Washington was made command
er-in-chief of the forces which were
tc be raised. He accepted under pro-
test. with the condition that he should
not be called in active service unless
the country was invaded. The cloud
passed over, however, without war.
During his closing years he took great
interest in projects for opening up
commerce with the country being set
tied west OF the Alleghenies and made
donation which led to the establish
ment OF Washington college, now
Washington and Lee university. He
took much interest in the Society of
the Cincinnati, comprising commits
stoned officers of the revolution. The
care OF his estates took uD the re-
mainder OF his time, and Of leisure he
had none. The end came December
IA, 1899, through cold he took from
getting wet in looking over MS es-
tate.
