The two largest retail ice dealers are
the Mutual Ice company and the Peo-
pies Ice company, the former operates
is wagons in the summer season and
the latter Is wagons. There are other
ice dealers but they are only in the
wholesale business and the ordinance
is not directed so as to affect them. IN
der his schedule the ice dealers would
be paying into the city s715 a year.
The Standard Oil, Uncle Sam oil and
the National Oil companies are TO be
assessed a tax of SIS per year with no
license issued for less than for six
months. The tax is not made to cover
the number of wagons used. though

Southern railway system have received
an increase of IS a month in salary.
The new salary order became effective
October Is. This makes the second 50

John Cotton of England
Ate 5000 Peas in a Day

Special Correspondence OF The Star
LONDON, March .. 1907
TOHN COTTON, who lives in Dewsbury,
/ Yorkshire, is believed to possess the
most veracious appetite of any man liv-
ing. Within the past few days he has con-
sumed a meal at which a van horse would
have jibbed in despair. He is already we'll
known in the district in which he lives by
reason of his past performances, but his
latest feat surpasses all his previous con-
quests.
The contest which has just concluded
lasted fourteen days. The condition was
that he should eat two peas on the first
day, double that number on the second
and continue to double 1t day after day for
fourteen days. The peas which were used
for the contest were the ordinary green
marrowfats.
During the first week the man simply
swallowed them like pills. in the dry state:
afterward they were stepped and boiled On
the tenth day the number was 1O24 on
the eleventh, 2,04S; on the twelfth, 4098; on
the thirteenth S,192, and on the fourteenth,
1854.
Owing to a little hitch in the proceedings
he refused to consume the total on the
last day, but on the thirteenth day he dis
posed of S.192, which is believed to be a
worlds record The only condiment he
took a little pepper.
On the thirteenth day operations were
commenced about o'clock in the after
noon. He disposed of 500 without the
slightest Inconvenience, and calmly rested
until o'clock in the evening before recon-
mencing operations. At that hour he faced
the enormous mass, which filled the largest
household bucket, with a determination not
to surrender. Just before IL o'clock he
cleared the last of the dishes, and was
greeted the worlds champion. During
the thirteen days he had eaten 1854 peas.
The man is prepared to defend his cham
pionship against all corners, and there is
some talk of rabbit-eating contest as the
result of the pea-eating competition. In
the contests which took place simultaneous
~ all the competitors were stopped when
they reached 1000 lest the affair should end
in a coroner's inquest.

could own it all in South Dakota; or you
could own it all in Connecticut. Maine,
Delaware and Arizona. he entire annual
production of gold, silver. copper. lead and
zinc in the country would just about equal
your wealth.
Providing your thoughts were phlan
thropically inclined. you could enter into
missionary work on wholesale scale. Not
long ago the question was raised W. 1t
cost to save a soul. preacher in Georgia
made the bold assertion that souls could
be saved in Atlanta for % cents apiece.
but that ii cost dollar to save them in
Chicago. Chicago Indignantly responded
that it cost on an average 500 to save
soul in that city. In New York it was es-
TINA ted by the Salvation Army that it cost
81 to save a soul in Harlem. so in the
''Tenderloin' and sol on the Bowery. Bas-
ing the number of converts in Dr., Park
bursts church on the amount expended in
maintaining that institution, it costs 81 ,S57
for each convert; but those figures can
hardly be used in this calculation fair
average would be to take the 25-Cent eSti-
mate of the Georgia preacher, the $500
claim of Chicago and the varying prices
in New York furnished by the Salvation
Army. These figures would indicate that
the average cost of saving a soul was
S41.G5 Making theee figures $50 for clear
ness and ease in computation and also for
due allowance for inaccuracies in the cal
culation. with your $300,0OO,OOO you could
convert 100000 heather, whether they
had their being in New York, Chicago. At
lanta, China or Africa. In other words, you
could convert every man. woman and child
in Senegal and Tunis.
All these things you could do and many
others in theory. at least, if you had $500,
OOO0O0 But perhaps in striving to do
nearly all of the sensible things that you
might do you would find it much more
difficult to invest. to spend, or even to give
away your money than you supposed.
What have other rich men done in this
direction?
If we return again for a minute to the
concentration of wealth we shall see that
the aggregate wealth of the -. 5000 per-
sons already mentioned is S65, 600 OOO, 600. In
this connection it might be stated that an
expert wealth statistics for the tenth
census estimated that per cent of the

plains:
Two life-saving vessels will anchor on
the ocean side of the wreck. Spray the
water with OIL fire lifeline across the
ship and take off the people in breeches
buoy or by a flexible iron gangway that
can be extended from the life-saving barge
TO the wreck, so that passengers and crew
may reach safety, no matter how great the
storm or high the surf or how far the wreck
may be from the shore.
II called on President Roosevelt at the
White House and showed him the drawing
for rescuing people from wrecked vessels
when 1t was impossible for the lfe-saving
corps to reach the wreck. He understood
the plan in a moment. and said 1t was a
good thing Then he wrote a note, intro
ducing me to Representative Cocks who
took me to the head of the life-saving serv-
ice.
II told him that did not want to injure
the life-saving service in any way, but felt
that with my plan people could easily be
rescued from wrecks when it was beyond
the power of the life-saving corps to per-
form such service. but ! was powerless
