journal comes fore ward with q beated sensation
This Chicago man has computed that the cOlOs
sa benefactions Of American miiOnaires during the
past two years have amounted to 1927 1854 600. This
does not include the Insignificant gifts Of $4,000 Or
other paltrv aims, but only has to do with dignfed
amounts. or course, the Iist is headed BY John p.
Rockefeller who is credited with . total Of S1O3,

Mayor Dunno seems to be- starting down the in

made himself useful. The bee Of ambition bids him
hope on. In order to pass the time and occupy
himself he has followed the example Of the political
adventurers headed by Bryan who make the lecture
platform their means OF keeping before the people.
Il makes no difference whether Bryan and his fell
low unappreciated patriots talk write neither is
destined for perpetnity. In allsthe long word re-

politician, he has never said one thing worthy OF

A Common Man.

He's just a laborer, they say
A common man, and nothing more,
His work is hard his mearger pay
Brings scarce comfort to his door.
And yet for every man tits said
There is both sweet and bitter bread.
His clothes are greasy, patched and old,
His hands are never free from soil.
Upon his face is plainly told
The story OF his life OF toll.
Yet he rails not at unkind Fate
'Tis his to labor and to wait.
He bravely sends his boys to school,
Thinks Of the tax on his poor purse
But education is his tool,
The lack Of which has been his curse,
"A common man, yet !. maintain
To him we owe our Drawn and brain.
This man Of corsae and common clay
Whose breast eachday with sWeatis wet,
Looks forward to brighter day
And back to some he cant forget,
For hope dies not in any breast
While there with outstretched hands
waits rest.

Boys and Man Who Bought
 Goods Locked Up.

Lorenzo Aquilano, Emanelle Spar ano, Edward sparano. Salvatore Camadella and Pietro Aquilano are at the police station as the result of the theft of $150 worth of brass from the new freight station one day last week. Lorenzo Aquilano who receiv- ed much notoriety because of the Elamo murder of which he was ac- cused, and who was latter stabbed by one of Aquilano's friends, was ar rested Saturday night and is charged with receiving stolen goods. Mrs Sparano is also charged with receiv- ing stolen goods, while the three boys are accused of stealing the brass. The brass was of a very good quality, be- ing worth about $1 a pound. It ap- pears that while it was on the plat form of the freight station the boys made of with 1t and disposed of tLe greater part of it to Aquilano
 Mrs Aquilano caused quite little excitement this morning when her son was arrested She rushed to the police station and wanted her boy released immediately, claiming tha. he had nothing to do with the theft of the brass. The case is likely to Ee heard in the clcy cuu"r tomorrow morning.

NEICHBORS QUARREL
Ended In tbe City Court This
 Morning With sis Fine.

Another chapter was added to the story of the Brennan-Jordan case of Town Plot in the city court this morning. August Jordan. the IS years old son of MT and Mrs August Jordan of Greenmount terrace was charged with breach of the peace. Miss Mary Brennan was present with a discolored optic which she received from Jordan juniors fist on last Friday evening Mrs Brennan dtd not put in an appearance.
 : The Jordans and Brennans have been quarreling for the past two years and complaints have been pouring into the prosecuting attor- ney's office. When the Jordans are not swearing out warrants for the Brennans, the Brennans are for the Jordans. At any rate on last Friday 1t appears that Mrs Brennan and her daughter, Mary, and Jordan and his younger sister, who was wheeling a go-cart along the highway in front of the Brennan residence, had a col lision. August Jordan was able to look after himself and sister never theless and the Brennans were worst ed, although Jordan had his cheek badly scratched. Mrs Agnes Buck ley saw Q part of the fight and de- clared that Miss Brennan was the aggressor. The court admitted that Jordan was in all probability pro- voked but if he had hurried along the fight would not have occurred. Jordan was accordingly fined $15 and costs. An appeal was taken un- der bonds os $100.
