Pennsylvania, for instance, has raised a

President Roosevelt. In every instance
the State buildings are characteristic.
Four of the Western States, Washing.

ADVICE THAT PAID.
Clergyman Who Found the AEricuI-
tural Department Reliable.

Clergyman Who Found the AEricul-
tural Department Reliable.
A few years ago a clergyman who had
injured his health retired from the vine
yard of the Lord to 10 poor acres in
Pennsylvania. He knew absolutely moth
ing about farming. From the different
parts of his little field he sent samples of
soil to the Agricultural Department at
Washington and asked for guidance, and
he got it. The scientists were delighted
to encounter a man who had no inherited
agricultural prejudices to uproot- He
was ready to pillow according to the rules
laid down in the pamphlets and to treat
his stock scientifically. The farm, be-
cause of it's good house, cost the preacher
$1,000. His own faith in the ability of
the Agricultural Department to make it
pay, and the friendliness of a parishioner,
enabled him to get the place on credit.
He has conducted his crops with strict
fidelity to instructions from Washington.
The result is that within a few years he
paid off the $1,000 mortgage, with inter
est, has an accumulatins balance in the
bank, and is deriving from his 10 acres
an annual income of $1,000. The Depart
ment of Agriculture has published an ac-
count of this preachers remarkably sue
cessful experiment, describing his 10 acres
rs a model American farm.

SIGNIFICANT SENTENCES

Ihe world has moved so far that it is

This is an era of combination alike

of labor. Each kind of combination can

must be opposed when it does i'll.
Thu greatest problem before us is to
exercise such control over the business
use of vast wcalth-individual, but espe-
Cially COrporate-as will insure it's not
being used against the interests of the
public, while yet permitting such ample
legitimate profits as will encourage indi-
idunl initiative.
The wrongdoer. the man who swindles
and cheats. whether on a big scale or a
little one. shall receive at our hands
mercy as scant as if he committed crimes
Of violence or brutality.
1t is our business to put Il stop to
abuses and to prevent their recurrence
without showing Il spirit of vindictivcncSs
FOR what has been done in the past.
Quoting from Burke: IF I cannot
reform with equity, | will not reform at
nll. There is a state to preserve as well
as n state to reform" This is the exact
spirit in which this country should move
to the reform of abuses OF corporate
wealth.
We are unalterably determined to pre-
vent wrongdoing in the future: We have
no intention of trying TO wreak such in
discriminate vengeance for wrongs done
in the past rs would confound the limo
cent with the guilty. Our purpose is to
build up rather than to tear down.

That the professional gambler has thu

But the recent revelations made by Dis
trlct Attorney Jerome of New York are
SIMPLY astounding in their exposure of
how the pool room proprictors fleece the
people who think they can beat the horse
racing game. The other day his agents
ralded a pool room at 112 Fulton street
and were fortunate enough to secure pos
session of a neatly kept set of books
which make astounding revelations. The
books contain a complete record of the
pool room transactions for several years
past. They show that in January, 1899,
a bank roll" Of $1,000 was made up.
Every day of the month the transactions
are summed up in columns of winnings
and losings. The books show. after all
expenses including protection" money
had been paid, a profit of S1O,O53.75. In
May there was another "whack-up" OF
profits amounting to $14,271. Then the
bank rolf was increased to $4,000.
From that time, May, 1899, the bank roll
was never drawn upon in any single
month and for eight years the winnings
have averaged $25O,00O q year or ST.
100000 during the eight years. The
books show how and among whom the
money was divided and it is believed that
Nr. Jerome is warmer on the scent Of
the man higher up than he ever was
before. One of those who regularly re-
ceived a 16 per cent rake-of is said to
be a State Senator. Mr.. Jerome will not
make names public at this time.

These figures do not include the work
on the Ambrose channel in the harbor,
which is n $4.OOO,OOO job. nor do they
take into account the engineering work
done on great buildings. There was
about $40.OOO,OOO worth of building done
in New York last year for Office and fac
tory buildings alone. 1t is safe to say
that from $10,000.000 to $40, 100000 of
that work required the services of expert
engineers. There is probably more work
of that kind going on this year than last.
So it may be said that besides the SELL
100000 already mentioned there is fully
$l4,00O,O00 more of engineering work
going on, making a grand total of $625,-
100000 worth of construction in connec-
ton with transportation and building al
ready under way or provided for in and
around New York which may be describ-
ed properly as great engineering projects.
This sum of S625, 600, 900 may be term
ed n fact established, but there are other
vast projects still in the stage of con-
templation-more tunnels and bridges
and buildings, some of which undoubted-
ly will be constructed in the not distant
future, which will amount to from $780,
100000 to 100000, 900 more.

the unnel and railway terminals. Nam

if anything like a complete idea of the
construction work in New York is to be
obtained.
New York City's great project for Sc
curing a water supply from the Catskills
will cost about $162,000,000. That pro-
ject means the construction of enormous
dams in half a dozen different valleys,
the wiDing out of many settlements, the
construction of a long system of tunnels
and pumping stations, including the tun-
mel under the Hudson river, the erection
of gates and the distribution of the water
in the city. 1t is the largest undertake
ing of the kind the world has ever known.
This water supply for New York is a
far greater enterprise than the Panama
canal in the engineering problems and
even in the money outlay. There are
also private engineering problems going
on in New York which reach into the
millions. Many of these nave to do with
the construction of great buildings.

Marshall Field is comfortable on $15,-

has $5,OOO,OOO. Her wealth is not SO
great in itself, but her sons will come
into, perhaps. $50, 100000 when they are
OF age. All this wealth has not accumu-
lated by the husbands of the women as a
matter OF fact, in but two instances were
the husbands the money makers, and they
were Russell Sage and Marshall Field.
Hetty Green inherited about $4,000

her daughter, Sylvia, who is unmarried.
Mrs. Russell Sage's greatest gift was
for improving the condition
OF the poor. She has announced that in
the distribution Of the Sage millions there
will be no indiscriminate giving. Mrs.
Walker Is primarily a business woman
and spends most of her time keeping track
OF her investments. Her wealth came
from her father, William Weightman Of
Philadelphia.
Perhaps the greatest of all recent es-
tates was that of Marshall Field, the
Chicago merchant, who died worth more

grandchildren, who will, in time, inherit
the bulk of the estate, and the important

sons to care for the millions that will be
theirs.
