to support themselves. This money
is paid Mr.. Hunt whether he mas one
pauper, or twenty. If he has but one
to care for he is making hand
some profit.
1t is openly stated that Mr.. Hunt
devotes much of his time and abll-
ity to moving on" every possible case.
AS in the case of Pat Curran, 1t was
cheaper for Mr.. Hunt to buy the dying
man a ticket and send him on to the
next county, than to care for him and
provide medical attendance.
The statements made that the Coun-
ty has no poor farm. Under the con-
tract Mr. Hunts large ranch and ranch
house, is supposed to be devoted to
that purpose. There is but one reason
for shipping a doomed pauper away
without attention and that reason Is
financial one
The Statesman believes the Pat
Curran case demands thorough in
vestigation by the county commission
ers in the name of humanity.

ADJUSTMENTS
GRAND PLAY TONIGHT,

An event of much Importance is the
production of Goldsmith's fine old COM
edy, "She Stops to Conquer" with its
H. Crane and Ellis Jeffreys, at the
Keylor Grand theatre tonight. 1t is
years since the old play, which was
first produced 1873 years ago, has been
seen here and the present opportunity
will probably be the first which many
theatre goers of the present generation
will have had of living wit hits char
acters and appreciating it's wholesome
and sparkling humor. The comedy
opens in Hardcastle's house and one
is Mr. Crane, who enacts the role of
the philanthrOpist, philosophical and
quantity humorous old squire. Soon
there comes his daughter, saucy Kate
Hardcastle, breezy, vigorous. healthful
and with fine sense of humor. Miss
Jeffreys will play the part. George
Giddens comes upon the scene as Tony
Lumpkin. the gay young roysterer who
preferred the public house and the
stable to the drawing room, charac-
ter in which he is known to excel.
Walter Hale plays the bashful NARROW,
bashful in the presence of women but
rather otherwise with his own sex.
Lester Kenyon will be Sir Charles
NARROW, Fanny Addison Pitt. Mrs.
Hardcastle, and the handsome Marga-
ret Dale Wal be Miss Neville. Charles
Frohman and Liebler & Company. who
are jointly interested in the revival,
are the biggest play producers in this
country and Mr.. FrOhman comes close
to being the biggest producer of plays
in England as well. They intend that
the revival not alone in it's cast or the
of the fine old charac
tiers, but in it's every detail should be
one that the public will store up as
an exquisitely pleasing memory of the
theatre.

is LIFE LONG ENOUGH?

Is Andrew Carnegie the descendant
of Ponce de Leon, the famous Span
lard. who came to the new world ir
search of the fountain of perpetual
youth? Ponce did not find it. but die
find a poisoned Indian arrow from
which he died. Andrew Carnegie viii
not find it, even though he were able
to double his alleged offer of $780,,
100000 for an assurance Of but ten
years of life. Life cannot be bought.
1t seems that we must allcrumble to
our original dust, even though we
may have laid up much treasure upon
earth. Probably Carnegie's desire to
live, says the Minneapolis Journal, is
prompted not by an ignoble wish just
to go on existing. Life is an mex
pressibly lively and interesting prob
lem to such a man as Carnegie. He
sees so much ahead, so many events
that~he would like to participate in,
so many problems he would like to
nave hand M settling, So many great
discoveries just on the eve of untold
ING. tIidt naturally lie ODJeClS TO MS
view of these things being cut off just
as though he had no interest in them
and no purpose in connection with
them.
Caregie's state of mind raises the
question: Is life long enough for what
busy and interested man would like
to do? Would a hundred years or two
hundred years be better? Could Car
negie live to see the time when uni
versal peace. in which he has taken an
immense interest, is established, woui0
he then be ready to go? The chances
are that he would have some other
plan afoot which would delay his de-
parture again.
There does not seem to be such a
thing as completing a life. Our ex-
istence here is only a crossmark on the
illimitable tape of time. 1t woulo
make little or no difference were that
| crossmark made broader or thicker. II
| would still be insignificant as COM
| nared with the whole.

THE WOMAN DID 1T.

Students in the causat ton of human
events usually get lost in the laby-
rinths of conjecture The causes of any
great event are usually multitudinous
and complex 1t is rarely possible to
trade them all out and catalog them
neatly, Some recent speculatlons,
however as to the life insurance
the ousting of Stuyvesant Fish from
the presidency of the Illinois Central
are decidedly interesting The social
aspirations of certain society women
are now held to have been at the bot
tom of all these weighty matters.
1t is ridiculously simple. Mr.. Jimmy
Hyde. heir to the Equitable. gave 4
fancy dress ball, at which he accorded
the honor of precedence to Madame
Rejane, the French actress. Whereat
Mrs. E. H. Hartman was so angered
that she induced her husband to re-
venge her by making trouble for Mr..
Jimmy Hyde in the possession of his
inheritance. The family quarrel that
broke out in the Equitable led to the
whole series of insurance scandals.
VOLTA. There you are!
And again: Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish
to herself the leadership of
New York society She encouraged
Harry Lehr to give monkey parties and
devise ether reyels in honor of her
queenship Whereat Mrs. John Jacob
Astor and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt
were taken with violent attacks of
heart burning. So, when the moment
came that Mr. Hartman wanted Stuy-
vesant Fish out of his way, he had
Mrs. Hartman insidiously suggest to
Mrs Astor and Mrs. Vanderbilt that if
they could get Mr.. Astor and Mr.. VAN
derbilt, who are directors of the Illi-
nOis Central, to vote to GUST Mr.. Fish,
the result would inevitably be the
downfall of Mrs. Fish as queen of So
ciety. Thus instigated. the directors
cOmpliantly inserted the fatal stiletto
atwixt the Fish ribs. And there, again
you are!
If the fair Helen caused the down.
fall of Troy and John the Baptists
head was cut off to please the SAL
torial Salome. why shouldn't Jimmy
Hyde be shOrn of his predestined ca
reer and Stuyvesant Fish thrown down
from his high place, when fair women
asked it? Why, indeed? Besides, it all
fitted in we'll with the plans of our
modern COLOSSUS of Roads," the silent
Harriman-which, after all, is prob
ably the best reason for these great
events.
