The Childless Rich.
From Success.


Andrew Carnegie has no son and only one
daughter, SO his hundreds of millions will
start no line of Carnegie kings Russell
Sage has neither son nor daughter and his
fortune will be scattered among strangers.
Leland Stanford had only one son and he
died. c. P. Huntington had no children.
Frederick Vanderbilt has no children. Perry
Belmont has no children. And three of the
younger Rockefellers, although married for
ten years or more, have no children. So we
might go on through the list of millonaires,
and while we should meet with some excep-
tons, like William H. Vanderbilt with eight
children, George Gould with six and ]. P.
Morgan with four, we should quickly estab-
lish the fact that the average number of
children in very rich American families
Is far below the general average; instead of
approaching four it would probably no.
reach two. And / have It ON the authority
of DR.. GuiIfoy. registrar of vital statistics
in New York, that the 9Th avenue residence
section, where our multi-mllionafres live,
shows by far the lowest birth rate of any
section in the city. I may add that
a doctor of great authority on this subject
assures me that as riches increase not only
is there a rapidly diminishing number of
births but there is an increasing number
CT crimes against birth. Probably this is
new and 1t may be passing condition for
we are told that seventy five years ago rich
New Workers were accustomed to have
large families. Thus we read in New
Workers. of the Nineteenth Century that
Col Nicholas Fish and Elizabeth Stuyves-
ant had five children and fifty-nine great
grandchildren; that Col. William Duer and
Catherine Alexander had eight children and
one hundred eat-grandchildren, etc.
Which shows how things have changed
since then in the fashionable set!

Colonel Despard.
ON the Dundee Advertiser

From the Dundee Advertiser
In connection with the Nelson cente-
nary it is interesting to recall the fate of
Colonel Despard, Lord Nelson's companion
and friend This unfortunate officer was
the most loyal AMI devoted comrade of
Nelson during the siege of Honduras, and
in his zeal for the success of their COM
bined arms he advanced large sums OF
money from his own resources for the pro-
motion of the operations of war. For this
and for his gallantry and ability he was
thanked by parliament, but the question OF
repayment was not referred to. When Des-
pard arrived in England he pressed his
claims upon the ministry, and appealed to
the house of commons, without success.
He now fell into pecuniary difficulties, be-
came desperate and launched out into vio-
lent denunc tons of ministers, with the
result that he was thrown into prison IN
the winter of 1897. There he remained till
1902 when he was released-a wreck phys-
cally and mentally With an intellect
weakened by his sufferings, Despard was
easily led into further extremes. Some
wears later he, with thirty-two other per-
sons, was arrested for reasonable conspir-
acy in a public house in Lambeth. In Feb
ruary 1904, they were tried by special COM
mission, and being found guilty, Despard
and seven others were executed on Febru-
ary 81. Thus persisted. miserably, one who
played a great part in shaping the glorious
career Of Lord Nelson.

Acquiring a Title in Europe.
San Francisco Chronicle.


'"The martial spirit that pervades Europe
makes the average civilian very much OF a
nonentity as he Journeys about the gay
capitals across the water" remarked Henry
Stern Which leads up to the advice that,
if you want to attract attention when you
go TO Europe. you want to have military
title attached to your name. The fact was
forcibly impressed my mind while I was
on European tour some time back. The
clerk at the Grand Hotel in Paris re-
marked to me that two distinguished Of
ficers from my city had been spending
some time at the hotel q little while be-
fore. ! was curious to see who they were,
so we looked back over the register for
their names. We found them without
much trouble. The first to greet my gaze
was written down in this fashion:
'' Col. NJ. H. Hecht, San Francisco. CAL.
u. s. A
:" Further down on the page interrupted
the clerk, you viii notice the name of
Gen, SaIz.'
There. in a bold hand, was inscribed
Jacob Salz. Gen. Mer., San Francisco. Cal.
u. S. A.
"What actually happened was this. as I
subsequently learned. Salx, who Is well
known as the owner of big taunery at
Benicia. arrived at the hotel, and noticing
Col Hecht's name and title on the register,
decided that he needed a title himself. So
he wrote after his name what he thought
was q proper abbreviation for general
merchandise. II worked beautifully. Dur
Ing his stay at the hotel he was respect
fully addressed al Gen. SALE. !.

Automobile for the Sudan.

From the Motor World
AS the result of extensive experiment IN
the use of automobile on the desert a
novel car has just been completed for the
use of the Sirdar of Egypt, who. will use
it on the vast sandy stretches of the SUI
dan. The wheels are entirely inclosed by
light metal side plates. leaving nothing
but the broad, solid rubber tires exposed,
and it is thought that the latter will re-
move the difficulty of getting over the
surface of loose, shifting sand without be-
coming irnbedded SO deeply as to impede
progress. To prevent the fine grit working
into any part of the mechanism the entire
undertody is protected by an ingeniously
devised apron
Either Kerosene or gasoline suits the en-
CINE equally well, and owing to the char
acter of the country to be trayersed pro-
vision has specially been made for a three
days supply of cooling and drinking water
as well as fuel. The change speed gear
gives range from three to twenty miles
an hour. The car will in addition haul a
two-wheel trailer very similar to gun car
rage, upon which will be mounted a
dynamo and search1ight. to be run from

The Kaiser as a Bogie Man.
From the London Wor

A Magyar was asked a month or two ago
whether there was any danger OF a revolu-
ton in Hungary. He seemed almost as
much surprised at the question he was
manifestly indignant. "A revolution? No,
indeed he replied emphatically. You
don't suppose. surely. that the Magyars are
such fools as to play into the hands of the
German kaiser in that fashion,"
Nor is it only Hungarians. Norwegians
and Poles who talk in this strain. Wher-
ever one encounters a F'renchman, an Aus
trian, even a Dane. one hears the same
tale. Nay, one is beginning to hear it also
from Italians. In France even the stol:d
peasants, 1t seems, are firmly convinced
that the kaiser is only waiting for op-
portunity to attack thems and in Austria all
the world knows. or processes TO know,
that the day Franz Josef is laid to rest an
attempt Will be made to secure good
third of his dominions for Germany. In
Denmark all parties one in framing
their policy on the assumption that Kaiser
Wilhelm must at any cost be kept at arms
length IL the independence of the country
is to be maintained; while in Italy no at
tempt is made to conceal the anxiety with
which the triple alliance is now regarded
thanks to the mtstrust the kaiser inspires.
Now that William the Second is dis
turbing element in the world, force that
makes for strife, cannot be denied; 1t Is
not altogether without reason that what
ever he does or leaves undone Is regarded
with suspicion, and excites both unrest and
apprehension. This feeling prevails even
among his own subjects, who frankly con-
fess that they are never quite sure what
he will do next and would be less worried
than they are If they did. None the less.
there is surely a touch of exaggeration In
the Importance that is attached to his DO
ings tust now, and there is undoubtedly
something positively absurd in the panfcs
that manifest themselves in certain quar-
ters every time he makes a speech. After
all, Kaiser Wilhelm Is a human pefhg, not
n Inconsistencies.

The Morality Of the Average.
m the pittsburg Dispatch

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
1t Is the fashion of the day to place So
ciety upon the vivisection table, and since
the abnormal is always more sensational
than the normal we are being treated to
horrifying dfsquisitions upon the results OF
these Investigations Why do not these
sensat ionalists consider the average man
once In while? Is 1t because he Is con-
ventiona1 and fails TO furnish startling thee
ries? Yet there are many millions more or
him than OF the subjects of social vivisec-
ton at either end of the scale. And the
normal men and women are TO be found in
ordinary dwellings that do not belong to
either category. The progress OF the ma
tion, of humanity. depends upon normal,

The Distribution
Of Immigrants,

Notwithstanding the fact that the
south needs immigrants, and offers the
most attractive inducements to set
tiers Of any section Of the country,
the tide of immigration continues to
seek entrance to the country through
the northern seapOrts instead OF
through Gulf ports, from which they
could be distributed to the sections
where they are so badly needed.
The recent arrival Of large numbers
OF immigrants at New York has
brought the subject of their distribu-
ton up again. The Birmingham Age
Herald Of yesterday contained the fol-
lowing article in reference to the mat
ter:
Nine ships landed in New York last
Sunday with 1,S39 immigrants, and
eight big ships were expected 10 bring
in as many more yesterday. What
the prospects are for today has not
been stated, but If an equal number of
ships come in today, this tide will
be equivalent in numbers to the land
ing Of an Admission on Sunday, a
Huntsville on Monday, and a Selma
today
This great tide Of homeseekers
would be all right if it could be turned
10 sections where it is needed. One
Of Sundays ships that put into New
York had on board S5S immigrants to
be landed in Baltimore, and yesterday.
that ship sailed 10 that port. This
points 10 the true remedy. Let the
immigrants be distributed properly by
landing at the ports nearest districts
that need them. This would be bet
ter than head taxes or educational
qualifications. Better still it would be
il all immigrants from Southern
Europe were ordered to land at South
Atlantic or Gulf ports, while those
from North Europe are landed at
North Atlantic ports. The control Is
vested in the general government.
This country can readily assimilate
a million immigrants a year il thew
are properly distributed along our
long coast line. Unwise distribution
works all the harm of immigration.
The southern cotton fields suffer be-
cause, while the congested northern
cities complain bitterly against the
influx of newcomers. 1t is fully dem
Onstrated that the Italian farmer
could prOftsbly make cotton. Il is,
in fact, his best opportunity. The
climate is his own, and all other con-
ditiOns are favorable. But the govern
ment persists in landing him in New
York when he should be landed at
New Orleans, where plenty of return
freight is available. The Dillingham;
bill, now before the senate, does con-
tain some provisions relating to dis
tribUtion, but none Of them 20 far
enough, and no bill will meet the
problem fully and sqUarely and solve
il until all immigrants from Southern
Europe are landed at Gulf ports.
LANDED in New York they are out Of
reach. The cotton fields are as far
away in travel and cost as their old
homes in Europe.
