$4,000 for Her Kindness.

From the New York World.
Peter kronheim of South Africa, Aus
tralia and Montana is now a millionaire,
but twenty years ago he was regarded as
a spendthrift with no friend left but his
cousin, Mrs. Ray Wolfe, who row lives at
16 East One Hundred and Thirty-first
street. He had been left a fortune by his
father, a Brooklyn tanner. but had dissi-
rated 1T in less than three years. Curl
ously enough, a tanning process of his own
discovery had been strume in accu-
mulating the fortune, but when he came
into his money he spent it with a free
hand and then dropped out of sight.
From time to time his cousin used to
hear from him-row from the west, now
from South Africa or Australia. In every
case his letters contained an appeal for
money, which she never neglected to send.
But having little she could not send much.
His last communication was from Jo-
hannesburg. and instead of an appeal 1t
contained a gift of a handsome pearl neck
lace. That was eight years ago. The
letter said he was a pearl broker in South
Africa and was at last meeting with
moderate success"
Last Sunday a roughly dressed man
called at the Wolfe home. The servant
was afraid to admit him and called Mrs.
| Wolfe, who at once recognized her cou-
sin. He refused to come in, but merely
asked If she was willing to help him again,
as he was in severe straits. She replied
that she was, and he left saying that he
might be back again.
He came again Tuesday. roughly clad
/ as before, and announced that instead Of
being penniless he was a millionaire. He
tossed his cousin an envelope, saying:
I've kept track of what you've lone for
me all these years, and it comes to about
this. Don't open the envelope. Wait till L
get out"
He left at once after inquiring about a
brother last heard of in Washington.
When he had gone the envelope was
opened and found to contain twenty-five
LOCO bills. The Wolfe family didn't 90
to bed at all. Instead they sat up with
the money until morning, when they
placed it in a safe deposit vault with the
| pearl necklace.
Kronhe.m's interests are extensive. Be-
sides valuable ranches and city lots in
Montana he owns gold mines in South
Africa, adjoining the famous Queen Char
lotte, and sheep ranges in Australia. He
is unmarried and is very anxious to find
his brother, whom he believes TO be in or
near Washington. He told Mrs. Wolfe
that If he did not succeed in finding him
he would return to Australia.

Uncle Rastus' Defense.

He Had His Wish.

The late Carl Schurz had no cons.dera-
ton for hypocrites or ~pretenders. Upon
literary r%retenders he was particularly se-
we're.
AT a dinner in New York one night a
millionaire who had written a volume Of
poems sreered at politics.
IT wouldn't give a ~picayune,' he said,
'.for a senatorship or a abine Office. To
be even president wouldn't tempt ME. I,
for my part. would rather be known any
day as a third-rate poet han a hrst-rate
stateman."

INVESTMENTS FOR FARMERS.

In some sections good crops for a num-
Der of years In secession have made the
farmer fairly we'll off or at least with
debts paid and some cash ahead. Schem-
.ers watch crop reports and are quick to
ascertain when a section is prosperous,
and they find, unfortunately, many vic
tins anon farmers. There is no better
place for the investment of surplus money
than right on the farm. which gave one
the money. First of all improve the home
in which you and yours spend your lives.
and the very first Improvement here
SHOULD be conveniently arranged rooms
arsd then improved methods Of heating
them. We may not have gas and electric
lights on all farms but there is no reason
Mhyrour homes annot be heated by fur
race. Then improve the stock of all
kinds; then improve the land and add i'm
plcments which will enable you to do more
work with less effort. After that, if there
IS any surplus which is not needed for the
xan11ly or the farm, a saving banks &C.
count is a safe investment and your cash
Is available at all times. Few farmers are
there who are so far ahead that they can
find nothing more to improve on the farm.

TO SUCCEED NEGROES
THIRTY GERMAN IMMIGRANTS AR-
 RIVE FROM NEW YORK.
TAey Have Been Employed By . Lum- her Comnany of Montgomery and
 More of Them Will

Thirty staiwart young Germans. fresh from the Fatherland, anxious to became q part of the citizensLip of America. alighted from an incoming Central of GeorRia passenger train at o'clock last night and looked about them upon the city and country they had selected as their new home, the place in this great country where they are to begin for success or for failure.
 These young Germans---everv one of them Is unnarried-~have come to Mont kcrnery to work for the lumber com pany of Robert Nixon and Company. They are to supplant negro laborers. If they Eive satisfaction, more of their kind will follow and Montgomery may eventually have a colony of strong. hard working, honest minded German citizens.
 The Nixon Company employs about 100 laborers In It's Montgomery plant and in its logging camps in Middle Ala bama. Like many other industries of Alabama, the Nixon Company has been dissatisfied with the negro workman. He Is thriftless, uncertain, and conse- duently unreliable With view to se- curing better class of labor, an agent of the company was sent to New York. At Ellis Island he determined upon the German migrants as solution of the labor problem. The thirty young. un- married subjects of his Imperial Ma jesty. the German Emperor, were pick ed from large number of immigrants. They desired to come to the South. The officials of the Nixon Company who re. ceived them at the union railway sta ton last night, were well satisfied with thcir selection.
 The German Immigrants travelled by way of steamer to Savannah and to Montgomery over the Central of Geor- Eia Railroad. They shook their heads and smiled as they indicated that the Southern climate was rather severe, but they will no doubt become accustomed to the heat
 An official of the Nixon Company said last night that 1t was probable settle ment house would be erected on the company's property in North Montgom- cry, near the banks of the Alabama river for the accommodation of the young Germans. If the company's ex- pertinent with German labor Is suc- cess. all of their negro laborers will give way to Germans as the foreigners are bfOuGht here.

Life.

The poets exclamation: 70 Life! feel thee bounding in my veins,' is a joyous one. Persons that can rarely or never make it, In honesty to them selves. are among the most unfortun- ate. They do not live, but exist; for to live implies more than to be. To live Is to be well and strong--to arise feeling equal to the ordinary duties of the day, and to. retire not over come by them-to feel life bounding in the veins A medicine that has made thousands of people, men and women well and strong, has accom- plished a great work. bestowing the richest blessings. and that medicine is Hoods Sarsaparilla. The weak. run down, or debilitated. from any cause
 should not fail to take 1t. It builds ur the whole system, changes existence into life, and makes life more abound ing We are glad to say these words in its favor to the readers of our col

Bids Under Consideration.

The Board of Bond Trustees still has under consideration the bids for the sewerage and drainage system. which were opened last week, and inasmuch as considerable time has elapsed since the bids were received 1t is more than probable that the board will wait un- til meeting of the City Council be- fore coming to a decision in the matter and mailing a recommendation as to the successful bidder. It is possible that a special session of the council will be held during the coming week when this matter as well as others, will be considered.

REVIEW OF TRADE
REFLECTION OF THE USUAL SEA-

Nevertheless, Business Is More Active Then Is Customary Rt This Sea-

New York, June S.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Jobbing and wholesale lines are com mencing to reflect the usual seasona- ble quietness. nevertheless business IS more active than is customary at this season, and fall orders for dry goods, clothing, shoes and inter-related lines are of very good volume. Retail trade has been stimulated by warmer wealth CT and the outlook is for a full sea sons trade. Industries with few ex- captions are active although the time Is approaching when the usual summer shut downs will take place.
 Grain crop returns become more IT, regular as the season progresses, but that fact haS not deterred purchases to any extent. AS whole the situa- bor situation though disturbed at diff ferent points is considerably better The return flow of money from the country Is unmistakably large and easier rates are feature.
 Railroad earnings continue very heavy, the increase for May being no less than 14 per cent on roads oper- ating outside the anthracite coal fieids and bank clearings are considerably in excess of last year at this period. Cu the other hand reports about the meat packing industry adversely affect trade in that line while high prices tend to cause deadlocks in some lines, notably wool and some lines of build Ing material. Lower prices for yellow pine reflected in ease in North ern soft woods have caused some new business.
