st. Petersburg, June 5.-Premier
stoIypin spoke in the Duma yesterday
in defence Of the governments draft u
a law dealing with the matter Of chang
ing from one faith to another and
against the notifications removing al

but it fell upon cold ears. The premier,
for the first time in the third Duma,

der way, when, to put it IN his own
words, he was waited upon by the may

that the people OF the town did not care
to have the negroes organized. They

bis stay in his normal condition Of
health in that town would last just about
an hour
Mr.. Miller did not wait for further
ceremony. but packed his grip and START

SIMPLE LIFE OF MILLIONAIRE.
Amassed Great Wealth and Yet Was
 Unspoiled By 1t All.
From the Mexican Herald.

From the Mexican Herald.
 In the same week that Henry H. Rogers died in the United States there passed away in Great Britain a man of equal If not greater wealth, a man quite unknown to the public. This was Charles Morrison who died at the great age of 92, leaving a fortune estimated at from $60,o0O0oo to S75.000,0O0. Fifty years ago he inherited from his father the comfortable fortune of s, ,0eO,000 and by careful investments he immensely increased it. It Is told of Charles Morrison that he was large land owner in Berkshire and Scotland, but he never In any way appeared in tho public eye. He never married, but lived on his estate Basildon, near Reading, with his brother and sister, both extremely rich septuagernarians, who inherit his for tune. He also had a town house In Har- ley street.
 He went to his office in the city daily. He wore shabby ready-made clothes, and never had carriage or automobile. If he drove, 1t was in a public cab. He ate 1S-penny luncheons, and otherwise lived very simply at the estimated rate of $l0,000 yearly.
 He never indulged in the slightest de- gree in spectacular or sensational finance and was never a promoter or market rigger. His simple method was to buy largely of sound securities when a panic
 
 them again when 8 reaction showed re- spectacle profit. His purchases in times of panic were of enormous service to the stock exchange.
 He habitually kept large sum of gold as a reserve against time of serious financial trouble In 1854 he wrote a book on the relations between capital and labor. He was a student of Darwin, a great reader, and lover of pictures, of which he had a valuable collection, in- cluding Rembrandts, Rubens, Reynolds and Watteaus.
 This multimillionaire who led the sim pie life was no miser; he gave largely to charity and was exceptionally kind to his old workpeople.
 His case, in one respect, parallels that of sundry ether unknown rich men, who, dying within the last 15 or 20 years, were not suspected of possessing vast wealth till their decease brought the probating of their wills. In all probability there are many "ricachones" still living quiet lives whose great wealth Is not guessed by their contemporaries

both in buildings and machinery. It is distributed at every important point along the railroad. At terminal and operating points, roundhouse facilities of greater or less extent are sure to be located, and at the headquarters of each division these are generally expanded into shops for the making of light repairs and to avoid handling crippled equipment for any great distance. One large shop plant is apt to suffice the average railroad for the heavy repair work. If the road stretch to any extraordinary length, even this feature is apt to be duplicated in order to concen- trate this repair work as far as possible.
 All this concerns the care and repairs of the locomotlves-which the raflroader quickly groups under the title of motive power" To care for the engines while they are In use out upon the line, to see to it that engineers and firemen alike handle these mechanisms with economy and skill is a responsibility that Is placed upon the road foreman of engines of each division He has supervision over smaller roundhouses, but at any of the larger of these structures there is a roundhouse foreman in direct charge. The railroad long ago learned that its best economy rested in having a plenty of executive control. That has come to be one of the maxims of the business.
 There is a master mechanic in charge of the division shops. and in many cases he has authority over the road foreman of engines anu the roundhouse foreman. Then under him he has his various assist ants, forming a working force not at all unlike that of the average iron working shop. All of this organism is gathered together under superintendent of motive power, who. in turn, may report to a general mechanical superintendent. This official answers only to the general man ager, or, in some cases, to a vice pres ident to whom these functions of the care of the railroad are delegated.
