summary of large public benefac-
tions in the United States during 1909
gives total of sl4l.25O. 900. which is
$+0,0o0.00O beyond any former year
and double the aggregate of 1905. 4
third OF the amount was bestowed OF
public education, which has always
figured at the head OF the list. Some
Of the gifts are from persons who led
exceedingly simple and quiet lives and
whose wealth proved to be much
greater than was supposed. Their
plans to dispose of 1t were also un~
known until their wills were read.
During the last decade large benefac-
tions in this country have exceeded
3s00.000.000. a fact that will be viewed
as surprising In any other nation.
The movement on this scale Is dis
tinctly American. Something must be
credited to the fact that this is the
wealthiest country i'm the world. but
other races are rich and not disposed
to give to anything like this extent
Gifts in the United States amounting
to ten billions is a conservative estl-
mate for the next century.
Although this country has long led
all others in liberal provision for
public education the gifts this year for
the purpose footed up nearly $4,000
900. Public libraries have multiplied
to such an extent that the supply has
almost overtaken the demand. Numer-

of any musical comedy of the present
season. II was the universal opinion
that Miss Cahill had never appeared to
such splendid advantage as I'm her pres

were unanimous in praising her WORK.
This season the Coincidence has. OF
course. n number of new songs to offer
her admirers. among them being ITS
the Doctor. Bil.' a Little Farther"
"Auf We'dfrsehen'' and The Arab
Love Song. the latter being of the
typical Cahill character and fully as
popular as any of her former successes.
The company this year is one of the
best that Miss Cahill has ever had in
her support. The list contains the
names of w G.. Stewart. Sam ID. IIar-
