The Poor Rich Boy.

Instead of sympathy for the chance
less poor boy, we should rather pity
the rich boy. What opportunity has
he to become more than an ornament
or mere owner? AS Riley makes
the old Hoosier say: whats more
pathetiker than just a-being rich?"
Out of sheer humanity something
ought to be done for the boy whose
father has money. Genius is not con-
fined to poor and humble birth, says
the New York Globe 1t should be
possible for the chap whose mother
wore diamond sunburst really to
rise in the world. The cottage and the
cabin have become too arrogant
brown-stone fronts also have their
rights. File on civilization that opens
the door of opportunity only to the
fortunate poor!

ALeER HAS SOLDIERS FUNERAL
Military Note Predominant in obse-
quies of Dead Senator.

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 29.-It was dis
tinctly a soldiers funeral that was
held Monday over the body of the late
United States Senator Russell Alex
ander Alger, who died suddenly last
Thursday in Washington. With dele
cations present from the national con-
gress and the state legislature, with
the state of Michigan and the city of
Detroit fully represented, there was
no lack of recognition of the fact
that Gen. Alger had been statesman
and senator But as the title of gen
eral' had never wholly capitulated to
that of senator" SO the military note
was predominant in his obsequies.
The funeral was held at two o'clock
at the dead senator's home on Fort
street, West. The service, consisting
only of prayer, scripture reading and
benediction, was read by Rev. E.
H. Pence, pastor of the Fort street
Presbyterian church, assisted by Rev.
D. M. Cooper.
The procession to Elmwood GENE
terry was led by a military escort con-
sisting of the seventh regiment, Unit
ed States infantry and the First regi-
ment, Michigan National Guard, with
Lieut. Gov.P. H. Kelley and the mill
tary staff of Gov. Warner, who is con-
fined to his home by illness. Thou
sands of people lined the sidewalks
as the procession passed.

OLIVER GETS CANAL. CONTRACT.
Given Ten Days to Associate Himself
with Two Others.

Washington, Jan. 28-Following a
conference at the White House Sun
day, it was officially announced that
the contract for building the Panama
canal would be awarded to William j.
Oliver, who, with Arson M. Bangs,
was the lowest bidder in the recent
competition, provided that within the
next ten days he associates himself
with at least two independent contrac-
tors whose skill and experience, COM
bined with his own, shall cover the
field of the work to be performed I'M
der the contract.
When informed of the statement,
issued by the direction of the presi-
dent, Mr. divers representatives
said.
There is absolutely no doubt about
Mr.. divers being able to fulfill the
requirements of the canal commission.
There are now at least 20 of the most
responsible contractors in the United
States who have expressed willing
ness to join Mr.. Oliver in the work
of constructing the canal at the figure
mentioned in his original bid These
names will be submitted to President
Roosevelt with proof of their financial
ability. Before entering into another
arrangement, Mr.. Oliver, wants to
know positively that the contractor
he chooses will be acceptable to the
government"
