TEE BURDEN OF
GREAT RICHES

The woes of the rich are set WV
idly before us by Mrs. Russell Sage's
open letter explaining why she must
ignore the thousands OF applications
for charity that pour i'm upon her.
The doctrine that our millionaires are
merely trustees for their wealth Is
apparently widespread; and every
body who needs, or thinks he needs.
money for himself or for some other
good cause is asking the trustees for
his share. Beggars have always ex.
listed; but our modern machinery of
publicity has made them more for
midable than ever The wealthy citi-
zen used 10 be importuned only by
those OF his own town or city: now
his is the target for the whole world
The fact tina Mrs Sage is mistress
OF many millions is known in every
place where people can read: and ac-
cordingly the mails from the remotest
corners of the earth are bringing
begging letters. People who insist
upon seeing her personally beseige
her house, dog her footsteps and try
to approach her relatives. She has
discovered what John ID. Rockefeller
Andrew Carnegie, and others long
ago found out-that i'm sheer self
protection she must turn the work o.
distribution over to almoners. There
is an opportunity for new book on

ARBITRATION
is THE THING

1t is always foolish to take your
bulheaded notions into court, with
the Idea that the Judge and jury will
agree with you. Remember that
the lawyer on the other side can kick
a lot OF holes in your claims. Arbi-
tration is the thing. If you have a
disagreement with a nelghbor, settle
1t. In nine cases out OF ten, he will
throw on" as much as you are will
ling to throw OFF" A row with q
neighbor is disturbing as well as ex-
pensive.-Atchlson Globe.

STRIKES VESSEL,
Captain and seamen Say They
Never Heard Of Such in
Chesapeake Bay.

& NORFOLK, VA, August 12.--While
In the Chesapeake, bound from Balti-
more to Newbern, N. c.. last Saturday,
the schooner Charles T. Strann, Cap
tain Marshall, was struck by water
spout. which came alarmingly near
causing the destruction of the vessel.
Captain Marshall said here to-day that
in all the twenty years he has spent
ut sea. nothing like the occurrence of
last Saturday has befallen him, and
nothing worse short of sinking is like
ly to overtake him.
The schooner had cargo under
deck. A torrent of water poured upon
the deck, carrying away staysail, jib-
boom. boat, and everything movable on
deck. Even the heavy hatch covers
were misplaced. The vessel groaned
as If she would go down. but righted
herself when the water had run off
of her deck. Mariners here say that
1t Is the first time that waterspout
has ever struck q. vessel In these
waters. according to their Knowledge.

GIVE OPERATORS
BEST SUPPORT
Gon,pers Thus Out
lines Attitude Of Federation
of Labor.

4 CHICAGO, ILL, August 12.--President
Gompers, OF the American Federation OF
Labor, said to- day: "As to the merits
OF the telegraphers' strike, l know
nothing The action has had the sane
ton of their executive committee and
national officers. and that removes from
the scope OF the inquiry any investi-
gatlon as to its merits.
1--WE assume that an affiliated orSanl-
zation which has legalized a strike has
a Just grievance. and, adhcring to union
principles, we are determined to give
the operators our best support. Before.
any plan OF action can be adopted,
the. local heads of the union and the
national officers must confer. We will
do that some time to-day."
No change took place to-day In
the Offices OF the brokers and commits
sion men.
Yesterday many brokers Informed the
officers OF the union that they would
pay the scale demanded by the opera
tors but on&the other hand some Of
the other leading houses in the city
declared that they would pay no more
than In the past. 1t Is generally eX-
pected by the brokers that the CRISIS
In their AFFAIRS will come within the
next twcnty-four hours The officers
of the union claim that they will be
able to bring out all OF the hrokers'
operators, and tho brokers assert that

St. Louis Case for Dissolution Of
Trust to BE Tried in
ii New York.

& WASHINGTON, D. c., August 12.-
Attorney General Bonaparte to-day re-
turned from his vacation at Lenox,
Mass, and took UP at once many I'M
portant matters pending in the Depart-
mont Of Justice. He was unwilling to
discuss the reports that he had re-
turned to begin criminal prosecution
in the Hartman and Standard Oh
cases, but, speaking of these matters,
he said that the department stands
ready to bring criminal action when
there seems n good chance to convict.
He expressed no opinion concerning
the possibility of conviction In case
action is brought In either OF the
cases mentioned. Discussing the eX-
isting statutes, he said tho Elklns law
has been proven strong enough to put
an end to rebating, but that some more
active requirement. might he beneficial.
While he had no criticism to offer of
the Elkins law, he thought that the
Hepburn act, passed By tho last Con-
gress, may strengthen 1t materially.
Mr., Bonaparte had Telegram from
r.. b. Kellogg, Of st, Paul, who has
been acting for the government as
special attorney In both the Hartman
and the Standard !. OIL cases, stating
that the taking OF. testimony in the

Court Yesterday.

George Biggs. OF Maryland near
