go where she had others gone before
whom she wanted to meet beyond the
river of Jordan. She has been a mem

Americas Growth in Wealth.

The baldest sort of outline which is
possible to he made of the growth of
the United States in wealth leads us
into fairyland of figures. Director
North, of the Census Bureau, recently
reported the country's wealth for 1904,
at S106.SS1 900, 900. These figures are so
stupendous that the mind can hardly
grasp them. Let us make q few com-
parsons. and see If we can show how
far and how fast tho increase of wealth
has beaten that OF population. In 1850.
the first year in which the Census
Bureau made any inquiry into the
matter, the Country's real and personal
property was placed ut value of ST.
1S5, 100000 i was Sl6,159, 100000 in
1860 SI2,6i2.000.000 in 1850; SSS,52S,-
100000, in 1900, and Sl06, ISL, 100000, in
1901. This Increase has so far exceeded
that in population that the per capita
wealth of the country. which was sS0T,
in 1850. was S513 in 1860. $3.50 in 1850,
Sl,2S5 in 1900, and $1,000 IN 1904.
Although there are no official figures
for the country's wealth previous to
1885, the most carefus estimates which
have been made. place it ut less than
$1,000 100000 in 1850. In that year the
countrys population was 5,SoS,000. Al
lowing for the growth between 1900
and the most recent year 70 which the
Census Bureaus inquiry has extended
we may place the eountry's population
to-day ut S5,OO0,O00 and its wealth at
Sis, 600, 000,0 600. Thus we see that from
1900 to these opeuiug days of 1907,
while the population OF tho United
States has been multiplied sixteen
times, that OF wealth has increased lis
times,--Leslies Weekly.

GROUNDS, May 4.-The Columbian
Guards policed the grounds of tho
chicago Worlds Fair; the Jefferson
Guards performed that duty at the
st. Louis Exposition, and the Powha-
tan Guards are protecting property
and preserving order on the grounds
OF the jamestown Exposition.
The guards form military organi-
cation of two hundred men, divided
into three infantry companies, and a
cavalry troop. Captain Henry w. Car
penter of the marine corps, is In COM
mand of the guard. He organized it
several months ago, having been de-
tailed for that purpose by the score
tary OF war. He has done his work so
we'll that he is the recipient of univer-
sal commentator by the men at the
head of the exposition, and by the
time the big show closes the general
public, or that portion which has Wis
tied the grounds Will be ready to adj
init that in so far as policing was con-
cerned, at least, the exposition was
eXcellently managed.
That which Captain Carpenter has
accomplished Is the enlistment of
about two hundred mon, nearly every
one of them discharged soldier, or
marine; he has his cavalry troop We'll
