plants which appear diseased, and
when were they first observed?

CONCENTRATION OF WEALTH.
One-Tenth of Total is Possessed BY
Not Over 100000 Families.

At Thursday nights session OF the
American Church congress OF the
Protestant Episcopal Church, in New
Orleans, there was discussion on
The Moral Strain in Social and Com
mercial Life"
Rev. H. C. Garrett of St: Louis
said that the question OF regulating
corporate wealth was the first source
of strained conditions, and the Sec
ond "the widespread departure from
the simple to the artificial mode of
living"
Speaking on corporate wealth, he
said: 1T is remarkable fact that
nearly eight millions of families in
this country average in holdings 4
little less than $500 each, while not
over 100000 families possess one-half
the entire wealth Of the country. Out
of. the total annual income, one-half
goes to one-tenth of the people. The
other half is divided among the re-
naming nine-tenths."
