RICH ON $40 A YEAR.

London Cable to New York Sun.
 A correspondent has discovered mod ern Utopia, where the fortunate natives are so rich that they some times do not know what to do with their wealth. Yet many of them live sumptuously on about $40 a year. The happy place is little village of Marchesi, at the foot of the Jura mountains, in Switzerland
 The villagers number' about 15O. A ma jority of them own their own houses and farms. They do not pay any local rates or taxes. In addition to what their farms cheese, milk and butter, and sometimes meat and wine, which are practically forced upon them.
 The explanation of this condition of af- fairs is that the village community, by wise investment and shrewd business methods has acquired the ownership of large tracts of titled land, forests. herds of cattle and hogs and fiocks of poultry. The produce, after being carefully weighed and checked is apportoned by the elect ed authorities of the village and con veyed to the doors of the villagers who thereafter have the disposal of their re- spective shares.
 Most of the hard work of the farms and fields is done by paid outsiders. who although they get fair terms, do not share In the utopian conditions of their em- poyers.

not be unduly blamed. Few party lead CTS could bring themselves up to a plan that would leave their organiza. tion stripped and naked, exposed to the shafts of a merciless enemy.
 The President did well in assailing Privilege as he did. As rule he stood by the many as against the few, and if he would stiffen up his anti-tariff back bone he would be eligible at once to full membership in the great demo- cratic party. He may yet get there, for he knows full well that he cannot coil, vert Nelson ". Aldrich, Simon Guggen- heimer and other lights of plutocracy, and he will in the natural course of events drift over to the party that bucks Privilege and monopoly at every opportunity.

AN ENEMY OF DEATH.
Scope and Work of the Great Rocke- feller Institute for Medical Research.

One of the most powerful enemies of death in the United States is the Rocke-
 feller institute for Medical Research, housed in a massive building high on an
 East river bluff in New York City,
 writes French Strother in the December
 Worlds Work. In this building, securely
 placed for light and air above the city
 and the river, the battles of science
 against disease are being fought out by
 skilful, carefully selected investigators
 aided by every device of the best labora-
 tories. Scientists there, freed from all
 financial cares and from all Interruptions,
 are at work with only one responsibility
 that of dedicating their best talent and
 their time wholly to research into the
 nature of disease, and its prevention
 and cure.
 The organization of the institute is into
 departments each under scientist of
 established reputation. The researches in
 experimental pathology are under the
 direction of Dr. Flexner and Dr. F. l..
 Opie; in chemistry, under Dr. P. A. Le-
 vene: and in physiology under Dr. s. J.
 Metzer Each of these heads of depart
 ments has an assistant or assistants, and
 both chiefs and assistants are engaged in actual experimental research work in ad- dition to their executive duties. Besides
 this permanent staff, provision is made for resident fellows and scholars, who are endowed for limited periods during which they work out problems under the supervision of the staff. Then there are facilities for few doctors and sur geons to make original investigations with the aid of the laboratorys appli- ances. To spread the benefits of the in- stitute still further, the trustees grant small sums yearly to nonresident scient- ists whose investigations they are con- vnced it may be wise to further About twenty of these grants have been made
 every year, and they have been used in ways so various as helping to send a
 Harvard scientist to the Philippines to study smallpox and cooperating with the health department of New York to secure a better milk supply for the city. In the laboratory itself, great many important investigations have been and are being carried on. The results of these labors are published in the institutes own organ, the Journal of Experimental Med icine. These researches include discover ies concerning dysentery diarrhoea, dia- betes, snake venom, smallpox and milk. More important researches than these
 are now under way; but even the subjects of such investigations are not made pub lie until some results have passed beyond the experimental stage.

ROBSON STUDYING HARD.

From the Washington Herald.
 Although he will not take the seat Tn Congress, which he wrested from the veteran, Colonel Bankhead, for year. the Hon. Richmond Pearson Hobson has come to Washington to live, and Is de- voting all of his time to studying the ways and duties of the national lawA makers. He has thus early asked John Sharp Williams, the democratic leader of the House, to give him a place on the naval affairs committee in order that he may the better promote his scheme for making the United States navy bigger than the combined navles of the world. The hero of the Merrimac is resolulely in earnest about this idea, and delights to diseuuss 1t with anbody who is in- terested. He talks about the expenditure of billions for the increase of the navy with as much sanfroid as other states men talk about securing few thousand dollars for postoffice buildings for ;heir districts, and seems unable to understand why anybody should think his scheme impractible because of its cost. He ap- pears to be convinced that the United States will have to fight the world with in the next twenty years or so, and 1t is because of this conviction that he wants a navy bigger than the combined fleets of the earth.

HoBsoNs SOCIAL ASPIRATIONS.

From the Cincinnati Times-Star
 Richmond Pearson Hobson is going to try new sensation when he comes to Congress, to which he has already been elected. He's going to be a social lion. He's tried lots of things-has been in the hero business. an author, lecturer, a politician, and now he's to be ''it' among the Washington 400 Although his term does not begin until the Sixtieth Con- gress meets, he is already on the scene, determined to study the lawmaking bus mess during the last session of the Fifty ninth He has engaged apartments, and he and Mrs. Hobson are to entertain lavishly. Mrs. Hobson, who was a Miss Hull of Alabama, is highly connected, and society will welcome her enthusias- tically. She was a cousin of the first wife of President Harrison, as well as of Mrs, Dimmick, President Harrisons sec- ond wife. Mrs. Dimmick was niece of the first Mrs. Harrison, and Mrs. Harri- son is related to them through the Lord family, with which both were connected. Congressman Hobson has already become a figure, locally, of some prominence. He was recently initiated in the local camp of Spanish War veterans, his exploits in the Merrimac incident of the Spanish war making him most highly prized addition to the camp in question. MT. Hob son hopes to become a member of the naval affairs committee in order that he may push his particular hobby, which is the creation of an American navy strong enough to whip the combined navies of the other powers of the world. And he doesn't care what it costs.

New Orleans Fast Mail.

On January the fast mail train from Washington to New Orleans will be discontinued after trial of eleven years. Every year battle took place in Congress to secure a subsidy of about S150,000 for this train, and the Southern is now compelled by increas- ing traffic and double-tracking to sur render both the train and it's subsidy.
 This is regrettable because the New York mail that is at present laid down here at o'clock in the morning will not be delivered until 1 o'clock in the afternoon. This is regrettable, but it seems to be unavoidable, and the peo- pie in the south will have to do without what they cannot obtain.
 Let us hope the Southern railroad will soften the blow by bringing in it's mail-carryng train of next month on time. That train should be dispatched from Washington in close connection with the arrival of the newspaper train from New York, and then every known and possible effort should be made 60 send it oyer the Southern on scheduled time.

The Pessimist.

"The misanthrope whose liver is out Of order or perhaps whose life has not been well ordered, should have a place set apart for him in one of the parks said a good fellow.
 well, I was going along today think ing how much better off I was than the man without legs who solicited aims of me. With a nickel to the cripple and a whistle to my conscience, I overlook a friend. He was all out of sorts. He said It is going to rain, plague on it, and it will cost me hack hire tonight In few moments the sprinkling pot of the clouds was out. He complained that people were not so polite as they used to be- Mrs. Jones' who attended house party with him last summer, was in such hurry to get out of the rain she forgot to speak as she passed by. He next complained of the street cars being run in punches.
 After a smile he said there is no more good whisky made.' Well, presently a miner totally blind came by, and l said, Don't you think you are fortunate to be able to get about without guide% He growled, Well, I suppose so.'
 For me, praise God for his tender merces, and the ability to see and en- joy"

Miss Nethersole in nsapho."

Miss Olga Nethersole has chosen "Sapho' for the presentation at the Jef- ferson theatre tonight" said an attache of the Jefferson. "The eminent actress regards this as one of the really best plays of her extensive repertoire Long before she produced it in New York, which was in 1899, she had conceived the idea of playing 'Sapho' in drama made from Daudet's familiar novel. The book had lain undisturbed in libraries and book stores for years It was admittedly a classic in literature Yet when it was announced that Miss Nethersole would appear in 'Sapho' a storm developed. which culminated when she finally pro- duced Clyde Fitchs adaptation of the novel. Of the resulting agitation it is not necessary to speak in detail, except to emphasize the fact that Miss Nethersole was triumphantly acquitted of the charge of presenting an immoral play, and that 'Sapho' was permitted to be presented without interruption, and has always since remained one of her most popular offerings.
 "A year or two after 'Saphos' run in New York. Miss Nethersole produced the play in London at the Adelphi theatre, where it ran for many months, and where the present King of England wit messed her performances, accompanied by Queen Alexandra"

5 A HUMAN DIVINE,
From the Nashville American.

From the Nashville American.
 A special from Gadsden. Ala. to tho Chicago Record-Herald, reads:
 "The Rev. pr. James A. Duncan. prominent minister of Birmingham, may continue to play golf and smoke cigars the while. The effort in the Meth,a:st conference for North Alabama. sitting
 here, to upbraid him for indulging in this pastime has failed.
 "The Rev Mr. Duncan is a daily visitor to the links in Birmingham and recently engaged in a tournament a1 Mempnis.
 winning a loving cup and playing with such brilliancy that the daily papers reproduced his photograph which showed him dressed in a regulation gols costume and smoking a cigar as he was in the act of driving" Bishop Hendrix and Presiding Elder Dobbs called on pr. Dun- can for statement. His reply was that he had never committed an act in his life that he could not thank God for. The incident was thus closed
 "Dr. Duncan resigned from a pulpit in Chattanooga several years ago, when bis
 congregation sought to discipline him for engaging in golf"
 pr. Duncan was formerly pastor of q church in Knoxville, where he was very popular and esteemed as an able preac.,- CT. He is a strong Methodist, and ns never mistakes liver disease for religion. He is man of broad charity and sym pathy, likes music is not afraid of tho violin and owned one, does no. scare nt
 novel if it is, good one, and is not
 averse to witnessing a high class play in the theatre. He went from K ,oxvills to Chattanooga. Previously, he had been in the west-Kansas, if we mistake not, Occasionally he lectures, and his lectures are very entertaining. He is sunny haired, sunny-tempered, and knows many
 things about many subjects. We trust he will get into no trouble with tine church authorities. At the worst, play ing golf is only miSdemeanor, and if it were sentence it would be called hard labor. As for smoking, that is no crime the main thing being to avoid smoking hereafter. If Dr. Duncan fails in this then there is not much show for some of the rest of us

Tuberculosis.

Jefferson county's sanitation, how ever creditable, will remain defective until some provision is made for prop erly taking care of it's tuberculosis poor. It's big trunk sewers bespeak much progress, and so does the city's meteorological department which meets a requirement. that modern hygiene has made necessary. Yet these do not ex. cuse the lack of an institution for the isolation and treatment of those af- flicted with consumption.
 About 20 per cent of our indigent poor who are i'll have some form of tuberculosis, and this 20 per cent, un- less fsolataed and properly handled, are capable of distributing the infec- ton to many others, thereby giving impetus and luxuriance to the already rapid growth of the white plague.
 There are a number of elevations near this city from HOO to 1900 feet above sea level which might be util- ized in taking care of these poor un- fortunates. Certainly the people would indorse and appreciate any move made by the Board of Revenue which would at the same time carry comfort to the already afflicted, and protect those who are as yet untainted by the most dreadful of scourges.
