BIG AND LITTLE FRAUDS

Dowie was several kinds of a
lunatic aud fraud. no doubt; but
he was a full sized man, anyway.
He gathered around him many
thousands Of people who accepted
bis guidance as divine; he founded
and for time maintained "model
city" which was perhaps no worse
than such models usually are, and
which assuredly gave testimony
that its founder was no fool. Ad-
mitting, as we must, that human
credulity is pretty near boundless,
the fact remains that it takes a big
chap to center this credulity on
himself and keep it in working or
der for term of years. Now that he
is gone, about twenty men and
women are scrambling for his va.
cant place, whose vacancy no one
of them would perceptibly relieve.
The row will doubtless end with
the breaking up of Zion City.
This is not to be regretted, for the
whole scheme was bad from the
beginning. But it is instructive
to a dozen swelling individuals
cutting themselves garments of
divers shapes from the prophets
mantle, and finding there is still
cloth to spare.

work. 1t is possible that he has no
equal in the United States In his line
He is descended from a family OF en-
sravers and artists. His grandfather
and his father were expert engravers,
and members of his family are noted as
artists in whatever line they under
take.
| The salary paid Mr.. Smillie calls at
tention to the fact that there are COM
paratively few expert engravers in the
| United States, so far as the making Of
plates for currency and other Govern
ment obligations are concerned. In the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing
! there are 20 engravers Their salaries
range from $4,000 to $4,000 a year.
| Mr.. Sullivan, the Director Of the Bu-
reau, says that an engraver Is q man 0s
genius and ability Without genius he
would never become an engraver. APP
prentices are out of the question unless
boys can be found with a decided talent
in that direction. This is what makes
the great scarcity of certain classes of
engravers in the country Should the
20 men in the Government service go
out on strike the Government would
be practically at their mercy. as 1t Is
doubtful if their places could be filled.
There is discussion in the circles of
the Confederate veterans and Daugh-
ters here in Washington of a move
ment to restore and preserve the birth
place of President Jefferson Davis, of
the Confederacy, in Todd County, KY.
and make it 4 historic mecca similar
to the Lincoln Farm, in Illinois. 1t is
understood the final plan is to invite
contributions from the people not only
of the South. but of the North as well,
but the belief here is that the fund
must be raised almost entirely in the
South. Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner
originated the movement, and presented
the resolutions carrying it into practical
effect
The organization is styled "The JEFF
ferson Davis Kentucky Home Associa-
ton" Gen. Buckner Is a native Of Vir-
ginia, and Richmond was the homo Of
President Davis during the Confeder-
acy. Mighty right the contributions
will have to come from the South, and
if history is faithful to fact. a small
portion of the South. Jefferson Davis
wore no halo for the Confederates at
any time, and none has sprouted since
the war. 1t is a well-known fact that
Mrs. Davis made her home in the
North because she could not endure to
hear her husband daily mentioned in
sighting way while she lived in the
South. 1t is late in the day to get up
any enthusiasm over Jeff Davis.
The brother of Secretary Root, Mr..
Oren Root, of Clinton, N. Y, who died

noted mathematicians. The first Oren
Root was a professor of mathematics
in Hamilton College, and his eldest son
succeeded his father and died in the
same institution. So learned and quaint
was the first Oren Root that his stu
dents affectionately called him Cube"

of Mr.. Smith are true, there must
be certain reasons for it.
First reason Planting the wrong

care, to grow to perfection. Third
reason: The fruit grower does not
know how to place his fruit in the
proper package and tn emost attract

the wrong varieties accor ding to mar

We see in the market this time OF

many instances the place of fruit.
