"Think of the powerful influence that
great wealth gives" people say. Sure
ly that must be a source of great hap
piness" Here, however, popular opin-
ion is wrong. Money possesses virtual
energy only when transformed into ac-
tual energy, work, and this transfer
nation Is only possible by introduc-
ton of another factor, personality. The
merely rich man, the man who merely
cashes coupons, who sits immovable on
his money-bags, possesses neither pow
er nor influence. His wealth attracts
only beggars and swindlers, and If he
does not shut himself up behind strong
locks he finds himself surrounded by a
crowd Of questionable persons whose
presence certainly does not make him
happy. Power and influence come to
the rich only when he possesses per-
sonality and takes an active part In
common life, In sympathy with his fel-
lows. 1t is not even necessary for him
to possess wealth, but only to control
riches. The energetic president Of a
corporation with capital Of hundred
millions wlelds infinitely more power
and influence than the passive possessor
of billion. Only the circulation Of
money, active money which is working,
brings power and influence. Dead capt.
tai lends no splendor to the possessor,
who remains Just as Insignificant as II
he did not own a dollar. At some dis
tant day, perhaps, we shall have gain
ed sufficient mastery over the earth
and ourselves to make 1t yield plenty
for all of us. Under such conditions
every man will be judged only accord
ing to his personal qualities, irrespec-
tive of his money. The talented, active,
and useful man would rank high above
the pig-brained millionaire. The moral
satisfaction which the higherdevelop-
ed character considers infinitely much
higher than the physical satisfaction
In the way Of food and clothes-the
glorious feeling Of power and influence
lis already understood by the modern
captain Of industry, who thinks, works
and acts, but not by the passive mil
lionaire idler at Newport. Money Is a
powerful weapon, but 1t is not the man
who guards the arsenal where weapons
are kept who counts but the soldier
who uses them and wins battles. True
money does buy pleasures Castles, cot
tages in charming places, yachts, pri
vate cars may be had by anybody who
has money enough. But there are
things which cannot be bought, ant
these, as it happens, are the very things
that count most for happiness. Homes
loves, genuine sympathies, sentiment
tender and true and tastes pure and re
fined-these, the soul of happiness, can
not be bought by any mans money
True, million dollars will build
mighty mansion, but it cannot buy tina
mystic something which makes happ,
home even in hovel. 1t may sur
round one with a host of sycophants
, but cannot buy one friend. Yes mon
ey Is good thing to have, If its pos
, SCISSOR can only remember that man
hood is more than money. Money help
to happiness, but there are other thing
that help good deal better.

POLICE MONEY ASTRAY.
Sum of $S55, Owned by DemsAted
Woman. Is Missing.

JERSEY CITY, Oct. M.-The Police
Board has ordered an investigation to de-
termine what has become of s255 taken
from Mrs. Caroline Beck, a demented
woman, on October 26, 1902, when she was
committed to Snake Hill. Mrs. Beck's
Mrs. j. Harrison Foster, Of 347
East Fiftieth street, New York, applied
to Chief Monahan to clear up the matter,
and wrote him a letter in which she SAYS
she called on Chief Murphy, in 1903, and
asked him about the money.
The property book was produced before
the board at its meeting yesterday. In it
three entries are ~bracketed. One. for Mrs.
Beck's $255, is between two entries for
William Cairns. who died in the City
Hospital on October %, 1902. The first of
these entries is signed by James Me-
Cormick, a New York undertaken. and his
signature also appears between the Beck
entry and the other Cairns entry. Nc
Cormick, in an amdavit, says he only re-
celVed from Chief Murphy S140.2S for the
cost of burying Cairns.
Chief Monahan also announced to the
board that there were thirty other parcels
or property recorded on the books. on
record OF which or the disposition of which
could be found; also tina in searching the
old police headquarters building two ingots
OF what Is supposed to be solid silver and
which weigh 100 pounds. no record of. the

ORIENTAL LINER SINKS.
Empress of China, with Sea Cocks Open,
Goes Down at Vancouver.

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 24.-The
Canadian Pacific Railway Company's
Oriental liner, Empress of China, sank
last evening along the wharf at Van
couver. Her sea cocks must have been
open, but no one seems able to ascer-
tain the truth of this. Her main deck
on the port side was awash in several
feet of water. She sank and keeled
over on her port side so that the main
deck is now at an agile of about As de-
greeA Her engines and dynamos are
under water.
Just after 6 o'clock the steward no
ticed hat the water was coming in
ever the lower deck. She continued to
list and sink, and by 8 o'clock her port
stern was resting on the bottom of
the harbor, the tops of the masts lean
ing over the wharf extending to the
gables of the big freight sheds.
She is valued at approximately a
million dollars. She was booked to
sail next Thursday for the Orient and
would have carried the British mails
for Kong Kong, for which the line re-
ceives a large subsidy from the i'm
Derial government.

SENATOR ACKERMAN RAPS
THE liberal" SUNDAY.
"Due to Selfish Desire for Profits" De-
clares Lawmaker from
Union County.

PI,AINFIEI.D, Oct. M.-state Senator
Ernest r.. Alderman. of this city, gave
liberal Sunday Legislation a rap today
while speaking of the European Sunday
as he saw 1t during his trip this summer
He said:
1.-THE increasing demand by the thinking
electorate for the OOserVnree OF the amer
lean abbath is not the result Of contrac-
ton of intellect or narrowness of vision, or
blindness of bigotry. I have heard it sad
that more people are now Working seven
days a week than at any time before In
our history. The idea of forcing people 70
work without n day OF rest is not SOUND,
either from an economical or humanitarian
point of view. The thOughtless clamor for
a so-oalled liberal Sunday with open liquor
saloons simply adds to an already existing
evil, and is largely the selfish desire Tor
profits regardless of Its effect upon the
time-honored policy OF the good old State
of New Jersey. There would be far more
logic for Sunday opening Of grocery stores
and meat shops than there would be fer
open saloons. The final result would bring
all the miseries and priVations of the late
Continental Sabbath.
ST say late Continental Sabbath, for the
Did regime in Europe is passing away Iii
present European Sabbath cannot be re-
Rarded now as the same wideopen, noisy
day it used to be, Eve the London Sun
day is no longer regarded as the only stand
ard of law and order. Travelling English
men are amazed at the lack of Sunday
gaiety in Paris. and find that they must 60
day have progressed steadily through Er-
rope. and embrace Italy, Switzerland, Spain
and Portugal.
Does 1t not appear strange that Europe,
which has long suffered from the evils Of
an open Sunday, should now be held up as
an object lesson of merit to those who
would wish to DESTROY the American Sab
bath in the interest of the %saloon?"

JOB PRINTING BOSSES
CONSIDERING DEMANDS.
Get Together to Talk It 0ver-Composi-
tors Ask $21 a Week and
Overtime Raise.

A number of master job printers met at
Achtel-Stetter's last night and formed a
temporary organization for the purpose of
considering the request of the compositors
in their employ for an increase Of 50 a
week and sixty-siX cents an hour for over
time.
The demand was mnde on October 10 by
Typographical Union No. 1903. The en-
ployers have until December 2 to consider
the matter. The compositors are now
getting $40 a week and sixty cents an hour
for overtime.
A committee was appointed with Ma
thias Plum as chairman to confer with an
other committee from the union. EN-
ployers engaging so per cent. of the union
compositors who work in the job Offices
were present. Harry NJ. Friend, of the
Essex Press, was elected chairman, ard
j. K Clark, of the Osborne Company, sec
rotary, 1t Is not unlikely that a perman-
ent organization will be formed.
