ECCENTRIC MILLIONAIRE DEAD.
~ Perkins Dressed Like a BeEgar In spite
OF His Wealth.

NASHUA, y. H.. June oo.--After living for
year, in primitive manner despite his
vast ossessions. l.. kilburn Perkins.
commonly known as Cy Perkins is dead
al hi, home in Brookline, \. H.. near this
city. His demise closes the career of one
OF the most interesting cha IA ter' in New
Hampshire. He was known to be wor; h
over 81 OOO, 600, and yet in personal appear
ance he resenbled beggar.
The direct cause of Mr.. Perkins, death
was on accident in which he lad his hip
broken several weeks ago. At that time
il was thought he would recover, but the
shock was too great for his heart and eX-
trene age, and he gradually grew weaker
until the end came
Mr. Perkins was over So years old. al
though he had tho appearance of maj
much Younger He stopped but little
and his step was springy even after he
had walked ehind his oxen eleven miles
to this city. He was frequent visitor in
Nashua, coming here on interest days
at the hanks and also AZ intervals to close
real estate deals or dispose of small amount
of garden truck. On his trips to Nashua
he was accompanied always by his son
and his sister. the latter usual lily riding
in a two-wheeled duppcart, drawn by
two of the est oxen in the State.
Like Mr.. Perkins. the sister and son wore
the oldest of clothes. They were ragged
and ancient in style, Mr. Perkins hed a
large amount OF money in the Nashua
banks and was the owner of consider able
bank and railroad stocks. In addition to
this he was the owner OF some of the most
valuable tracts Of timber land in New Eng

whom he lived he is survived by num-
Der Of nieces in Lowell and Worcester.

This very remarkable letter comes l"
us from a woman lawyer Of this town
who is an expert in patent suits:
"ro the Editor or Tux suH sir; when two
people are drawn together by the Invisible power
OF love. the Church and state will not recognize
tina, GOD is love. but insis, that COP is u m"gls

thinning person knows that people are constantly
marrying where no true love exists and also thar
people very often mistake heetinE passion for love
yet II two such people have been Joined BY man
rod, that u.s. q magistrate, &c. and then true love
forces one OF them into desire for union with an
other. the Church rises in great indignation and
shouts Con Is not iove-Gop Is politician or
State or Church
The person who takes literally the view thas
Gop Is love- propounded BY JOHN. Is branded
under the mlsnamsd title free lover by those
who have not the sushtes. conception OF the highest

NEW YORK. June H."
This is about what has been said lately
by man who deserted his wife, the
mother Of his six children, for young
Typewriter Of whom he had become
enamored. He is sin love SO deeply
that he is forced by that love to disre-
gard" his duty He holds himself to be
under a higher law" and he, too calls
it Glove
This woman lawyer says that ministers
and magistrates often marry people
who mistake heeting passion for love. y
Very likely; but how about the people
who love so deeply that they are forced
by that love to disregard the opinion Of
the Church that is, get along with an
Illicit union?
If man takes a fancy to another
woman than his wife or woman to an
other man than her husband, that fancy
she calls true love-: for of course, there
would be no need Of putting up such a
defense unless the law Of marriage was
violated.
We are astonished that a woman who
seems to have even a respectable place
at the bar should write such wretched
stuff to us. Love what is love? Is it a
sentiment apart from selt-respect from
the law of society; Il vagarlous impulse
to be followed blindly and madly with
out regard to established social morals
A woman lawyer who has not learned
that legitimate marriage is essential TO
the conservation of society, and more
particularly the protection of women and
children. has pursued her studies to very
little purpose. She is an anarchist not
lawyer She says she renders obedi-
ence to her higher nature actually she
is under the dominion Of her lower senses
True love"-bosh! The saddest degra-
dalton Of society comes from the croft
cism which she calls love

The Chicago Strike Sufferers.

Chicago believes that the strike of
union transfers which has transformed
the city's streets into armed camps for
nearly three months is entering its final
phase. SHEA, the president OF the union,
In whose hands the entire conduct OF the
war lay, is discredited. His own union
paws no more attention to him. The
affiliated bodies of labor have ignored
him lately The teamsters are applying
for their old places on the old terms.
Many of them will not be reemployed
at ALL and others must wait for vacancies
before they can go back to work.
The Chicago employers have lost
thousands Of dollars through that strike
but they will be able TO survive ii. Some
non-union teamsters and more innocent
bystanders" lost their lives, and others
were knitted. bludgeoned or shot. Some
strikers were injured too. The list OF
dead and wounded is long one. Chicago
is not inhabited by flabby population
When its workingmen go out on strike
they mean business The hospitals and
the deadhouse bear witness to the sin
cerity Of their desire to win.
But the sufferers whose plight stirs
sympathy are the women and children
Of the misguided men who left their jobs
at the beck Of the union bosses. Many
OF the strikers went out unwillngly
and only because they dared not disobev
the summons. These men have wives
and children to support, and the strike
benefits drawn from the union treasures
are small amount each week. The men
are not to be criticized for throwing up
Jobs that if retained would have meant
their serious injury or death. The women
were not to blame for this, however.
President CORNELIUS p SHEA did many
unjust things before and during the
teamsters' strike, but none Of them was
as bad as the injustice he did to the
innocent families of his deluded fol.
lowers when he issued the order TO quit
work

Where They Are Wante u +.

As usual when the stream of foreign
immigration is great, talk is now heard
Of the necessity of further legislation by
Congress to check it. AS usual at such
time too, this immigration is said to be
of an inferior quality; fd' example, in
the period of the great Irish imm9a-
ton between 1910 and 1850
Little of this talk. however, is heard
In one part of the country. The South
wants immigration. Outside of the
Border States the population OF the
Southern States is almost wholly Ameri-
can and negro, less than G per cent, Of
the foreign born population of the United
States being in them. For example, in
the great States Of Georgia, Alabama
Mississippi and North and South Caro-
lima there were S,S3o,424 people in 1900,
OF whom 4,l?? $40 We're negroes and only
A,998 foreign born.
Moreover, since the civil war the
South has sent to the North and West
alb )ut two and a half million whites and
received in return native and foreign
less than half as many people
Meantime and consequently the South
ern States are thinly populated as com
pared with the Northern. For example
New York has more than five times as
many people tothc square mile as Louisi,
ana, and about four times as many as the
two Carolinas. Many millions of acres
OF exceedingly arabic land in the South
are uncultivated, in Louisiana alone
nineteen millions out of "A total of twenty.
six million acres. The Southern demand
for labor in manufacturing industries

mills manufactured Sc? S3S bales of

Good News and Bad,

New England sends to the world this
month good news and bad The lobster
crop is larger than for several years and
the fear that this necessity of New York
life would disappear off the face OF the
earth proves to be unfounded What q
weight of despair this announcement
lifts from mankind! It is not too much
to say that the lobster is the handspring
of existence on Broadway. In honor Of

THE Sun recorded Yesterday the fact
that many immigrants to this country
change their names to make them easier
Of pronunciation by taking the title OF the
street in which they live. Thus 1t has hap
pened that many new Americans are called
after tho streets on the lower East Side.
The principal interest in this new tendency
is in its Typographical limitation OF custom
which earlier had a much broader scope.
The cities OF Europe used to provide the
names by which tho families Of 80 many OF
our own immigrants are known. Thus
Berlin, strassburg and other cities with the
addition of a syllable provided names, but
these, it seems, are now giving place to the
New York streets in which the foreigners
settle. In most cases these street names
are the patronymics of noted American
families. The LUDLows. CLINroNs, DE-
I.ANCEYs and the like we're first among New
York's noted citizens Of the past Probably
none Of them ever imagined that its former
fame was to be carried into the future

scendants and the streets named after them
