EndoVing a Family.

An editorial in The World To-Day.
speaking Of large fortunes and the
manner Of their bequest. by men Of
wealth, says:
We have had our discussion con-
cerning tainted money. It is time
we considered the endowment of
families. Recent events exhibit the
new tendency in American life to es-
tablish a parasitic class composed of
descendants of men who have accu-
mulated = fortunes. These fortunes
are no longer distributed among
mans heirs. but are kept intact and
placed in the hands of trust COM
panies for administration. The bene-
ficiaries face no responsibility of
wealth, but simply receive the whole
or portion of the funds income.
In one case three young children
have approximately the same endow-
ment as that of Harvard. Yale, Co.
lumbia and Chicago Universities COM
bined.
The next step in our financial evo-
luton Is the concentration of wealth
in trust companies An enormous
percentage of the productive wealth
of the United States is now held by
small proportion Of our citizens.
Should each one of these citizens at
death-and this is to-day's drift
provide that for the next thirty or
forty years his wealth should be
handled by trust companies for the
benefit Of his descendants, it would
follow inevitably that large proper
ton Of our national capital would
be concentrated under the control Of
a half dozen financial institutions
There may be benefits attending suci
a concentration, but the most conser-
vative of us can see that its dangers
are inevitable and tremendous. With
all respect for the ability and hon
esty of these companies, no single
group Of men is capable of admins
tering such power. No group OF men
ought to have such power to admin
lister.
TheAmerican people have no desire
to destroy incentives to the creation
Of wealth, or to deprive the family
of rich man Of generous share Of
his fortune; but the establishment Of
an endowed class of idlers Is con-
trary to the American spirit and dam
gerous to American institutions.

KILLS EAGLE AFTER FIGHT.

The largest bald eagle seen in
Berkshire for many years was killed
by James Bolger, Of Peru, after an
exciting struggle. AS he was sitting
reading he heard eommotion in the
barnyard Looking out, he saw
large eagle just rising from the
ground.
Grabbing his gun Bolger ran out
and took a shot at the bird. He
broke its wing and brought 1t down
He attacked 1t with club, but found
he had no easy victory. The bird
fought savagely, and his hands were
lacerated, his face scratched, and his
clothing torn before he succeeded IN
getting in blow which subdued the
eagle and enabled him to dispatch 1t
He brought the bird to Pittsfield to-
day, and it measured eight feet from
tip to tip Of wing. .--Pittsfield (Mass.)

With A Silent Guard.

Modern science seems to spend its
time undoing its own efforts. Take,
for instance, so-called burglary-proof
safes.
The up-to-date burglar soon found
that by means of compressed oxygen
and acetylene gas he could produce
a flame so hot that the steel doors
of safe would fuse in it like lead
in an ordinary gas Jet.
In addition, the accessories requir-
ed are Of handy size, and there is
no noise. Observation is all the safe
breaker has to avoid.
Now it is suggested manufactur-
ers should add simple apparatus
to the material used in making safes
which would liberate certain chemi-
calls, rendering it dangerous-or even
fatal-to tamper with the walls or
door.
No doubt in time the scientific
burglar will find a means of over
coming this, but for little while,
at least, protection can be obtained
against the scientific cracksman.
