New York, Dec, 29.-The body OF
Charles T. Yorkes, who died at 2:15
o'clock this n'' t the Waldorf

afternoon to Lie llmily residence at
6Sth street, and Fifth avenue.
The death certificate signed by Dr.
Loomis, gave heart failure as the cause
of death.
No arrangements have been made as
yet for the funeral.
Charles T. Yerkes prospered from
his youth. He was born in Philadel-
phia June %, 1889. At the age of 20
he embarked In the business OF bank
ing exchange. In 1861 he purchased
street railway stock Of Becker Drexel
and became Interested in the censtruc-
tion of Philadelphia lines, In 1864 ihe
built and occupied large banking
ho Dse OF his own, out OF his profits
About this time the city finances
were in a deplorable condition and
Yerkes undertook TO dispose OF a large
loan, making settlements monthly
with the city treasurer. The Chicago
fire occasioned fearful depreciation in
securities and Yerkes was unable to
maintain the par value OF the munic-
| ipal bonds or to make Immediate set
! tlement of balances due.
! He was indicted and found guilty.
Members of the bar united in a petit
tlon to the governor who extended ex-
I ttYfA fl Hg,
manded trial on other similar charges
! which resulted in a verdict of aGqu.t t.
| tai.
| He took advantage of the stock mar
ket at the time OF the commercial de-
| preston inaugurated by the failure OF
Jay Cooke and was able to recoup u
| large proportion Of his losses. Follow
| ing this his attention was first at
tracted to Chicago. He arrived in
Chicago in 1882 and opened a banking
house.
In 1886 he organized the North Chi
cago street railway company and ac.
| quired control of the Old company
Then he cabled the main lines anu
following this organized the West chi.
cago street railway company.
For the privileges accorded his cor,
poration he donated the double
bridges at Lake, Clarke and Well!
/ streets at a time when the city treas.
ury was empty. Another of Yerkes
notable gifts was the $4,000 telescop'
which bears his name which was CIV
en- to the University of Chicago.
In 1898 Yerkes leased to a synGI
cate his interest In the North ant
West Chicago railroad companies. A
the same time he organized the Con
solidated Traction company to whici
he sold his outlying lines.
When in 1901 he bade farewell t
Chicago to go to London he took will

If woman is wise, she conceals her indepen.

with her own pocketbook, but she must pretend
TO care more for some man.
Women want everybody TO like them, but they
cannot bring this result about unless they con

public.
Other women do not like the independent wom-

envious of her.
Both sexes are in agreement in regard to their
conception Of the position that woman should

proper duties are those connected with the home.
She has no business with women's clubs, and she

she may do in private, in public she must con-

If she is forced to earn her own living, she
should never appear to know more about the

The expression of the hair is rather more diff
fcut to determine, and it is not from its hue or
its texture that one can judge at all-but from
its condition -well-kept or otherwise. Lazy,
dirty, untidy persons will always be LATEST, dirt
lest and most untidy in regard to their hair;
while frivolous, eccentric or lop-sded people seem
to find the manner of wearing it the natural way
of expressing their souls aspirations.
The hands come next, and are the most de-
ceitful of all the outward seeming. So much de-
pends on the occupation of their owner that
conclusions must not be jumped to hastily.
A few indications of character there are, how
ever, and though these must be taken collectively,
they point definitely to certain traits.
A thick thumb, with decided curve-back, is
a sign of obstinancy.
Large thumbs denote will power and executive
ability.
Small, loose fingers show an easy, facile dis.
position.
Welkept nails-regardless of shape or size
show love of order and personal daintiness.
And now to character told by the bearing.
This last is the easiest, safest and surest way
TO get at the truth concerning ones fellow man
and sister woman-or any other woman, for the
matter of that
A quick step denotes nervous energy, capabil-
ity and strong will power; slow, tagging step

The poise of the head is exceedingly deceptive,

eyes are strong the head is kept we'll thrown

MEN SCARED OFF.
They are afraid Of the girl who boasts Of her
own pocketbook, Of her practice" of her sue
cess as a lawyer, Of anything, in short, which
makes her less woman, and more a man. Their
knees shake when they are presented to the sweet
girl graduate of a womans college, and they groan
inwardly, fearing that she will direct the con-
versation into such deep intellectual channels
that they will drown. They don't bother to
look at her, for they are sure that she is ugly.
woman never takes the trouble TO educate her
self, they argue, unless she is so ugly that she
just can't do anything else.
So they give the college graduate a wide berth,
and devote themselves to the ingenious little
thing with curly hair, who looks at you with
big, confiding blue eyes, and who always subtly
conveys the impression that she is trusting her
self to your superior strength.
1t flatters a man TO be regarded as a superior
being, and it is wise woman who makes note
of this fact and uses it to her advantage.
In the business world they cannot stand having
a woman over them. If things go wrong they
will be- sure to say, "That's what comes of hav-
ing woman at the head of the concern" The
same mistakes might just as easily have been
made by a man, but they will never acknowledge
this. The woman was made inferior in the be-

will always be hard and bare. The blades of
the lawnmower should hang fully two inches
above the ground, and water the lawn frequently

cover the lawn with a sprnkling of good mould
and let the grass grow up through this. Con-
slant rolling will do more for a lawn than all

any average-sized garden and will afford much
