PATTEN CUTS FORTUNE
BY 100000 DONATION
Northwestern Medical School Gets
Sum to Establish Chair of Path
illogical Research.

Chicago-James A. Patten, Evans
ton millionaire and retired board OF
trade operator, has given 100000 to
Northwestern Medical school to found
a chair devoted to pathological re-
search.
The death of Mr. Patterns brother
George from tuberculosis a couple OF
months ago is ascribed as furnishing
him the reason for making this large
donation to fight insidious disease OF
all sorts.
Mr.. Patten already has turned over
to the school securities for the $780,
000," said Dr. Arthur r. Edwards, dean
of the school, THE new chair will be
installed at once and we hope to &C
complish a great deal toward the ale
Walton of suffering from disease In
the United States. We will devote the
major share of our attention to the IN
vestigation of tuberculosis, although
Mr.. Patten does not expect us to con-
fine our activities to any single neId
of research"
Il have received several bushels OF
letters asking for slices Of my fortune,
since I announced my intention of CIV
ing it all away before die" said
James A. Patten. Il shall succeed IN
getting rid of the money, but these
begging persons will get none of it.
Receiving of begging letters is an old
story with me. Various charitable or
CARNATIONS as well as individuals ask
for donations"

10 trap the auctioneer who was selling
the retired druggists stock of medi.
cine into an admission that the medi-
cine he doomed was fake goods, but
always he was too quick witted for
them. But when he got to the cough
strip warranted to relieve tickling in
the throat and stop the worst cough in
five minutes after taking they thought
they had him sure. The cold that had
hampered the auctioneer throughout
the day developed into a racking
cough which punctuated his praises
of the peerless medicine.
why don't you stop talking long
enough to take some of your own
cure, eh?" a wag called out.
My dear sir barked the auction
eer. IF l should do that l would
have no cough handy to illustrate the
kind of cough my medicine will cure"

Johnson's Opinion of Rousseau.

One evening, at the Nitre, Johnson
said sarcastically to me. 1T seems,
sir, you have kept very good company
abroad-Rousseau and Wilkes" l an
swered with a smile, my dear, sir.
you don't call Rousseau bad company;
do you really think him a bad man?'
Johnson-"S if you are talking jest
ingly of this, l don't talk to you. If
you can be serious. l think him one
of the worst of men. a rascal who
ought to be hunted out of society, as
he has been. Three or four nations
have expelled him, and it is a shame
that he is protected in this country.
Rousseau, sir. is a very bad man.

FRIEND OF THE CHILDREN"
Beautiful Title ST. Louis Woman Had
Earned Through Many
Years Of Service.

What more beautiful title could
woman desire than that of Friend OF
Many Children?" And that was what
called. She died a few days ago, and
sketches tell of her life spent in max
ing children happy. She held hum
bic place in the community, conduct
Ing a little store where candy and
cakes were sold, her patrons being al
most entirely the little people of the
neighborhood. and she never sold
them anything that by any possibility
could do them harm. The ST. Louis
Times devotes an editorial to Mar
garet Madden, and pays this tribute:
The children knew her as friend,
and when she died an account OF her
death published in st. Louis paper
bore a headline which contained the
words. Friend of many children.
That would not seem a great distinc-
ton; but the world is filed with peo-
pie who have won no distinction at
an. And 1t would be very hard to
think of any kind Of fame so lovely
and touching as that which fell to the
lot OF this st. Louis shopkeeper. For
to be the friend of many children is
a blessing vouchsafed to but few.
Cffildrens friendships are largely of
the heart-not of the judgment, of in
tuition, not of expediency. 1t is their
blessed privilege to love those who do
not always attract attention from old
er people. You may see only the little
shop, the trembling smile, the narrow
outlook and the long procession OF
dull days. But it is the heritage OF
the child that it can see the heart,
rather than the bare surface ind1ca-
tions. 1t can see the vision that was
not realized-the power that was only
latent. It senses the kindness that
came with sacrifice. It knows more
than the misleading What Is, and
looks beyond into the great domain of
What Might Have Been"

The Friends We Leave Behind.

1 find the one great thing in this
world is not so much where we stand
as in what direction we are moving.
To reach the port of heaven we must
call sometimes with the wind and
sometimes against it, but we must
sail and not drift, nor lie at anchor.
There is one very sad thing in old
friendships, to every mind which Isl
really moving onward. 1t is this
That one cannot help using his early
friends as the seaman uses the log, to-
mark his progress. Every now and
then we throw an old schOOlmate over
the stern with a string of thoughts
tied to him and look-I am afraid,
with a kind of luxurious and sancti-
monious compassionate see the rate
at which the string reels off, while
he lies there bObbing up and down,
poor fellow! and we are dashing
along with the white foam and bright
sparkle at our bows-the ruft1ed
bosom of prosperity and progress,
with a sprig of diamonds stuck in it!

The mistake is frequently made Of

London-Dr Hawley H. Crippen,
convicted of the murder of his WIFE
Belle Elmore, the actress, did not
hang today, but was granted a new
lease of life because the law provides
that two weeks must elapse between
the dismissal of an appeal and the car
rying out of the sentence.
November % has been fixed upon as
the date of the execution.
Solicitor Newton, Crippen's counsel,
is drafting a petition for reprieve.

a lawyer and real estate broker OF
this city, insists that he has definite
evidence that Belle Elmore, wife OF
Doctor Crippen, is alive in this coun-
try
Tobin said that early in the Grip
pen affair he received letters from
persons who knew Belle Gilmore and
who had seen her on train going
from Kansas City to Chicago. Be
fore that he said she had been seen
in San Francisco and later she had
again been seen in Chicago, where
she met several former friends and
made no secret of her identity.
Washington-Th state department

action in the Crippen case. The Off

ton that the case is entirely within
the jurisdiction of the criminal courts
of Great Britain and no diplomatic ac-
ton at this time is necessary.

PEARY IS GIVEN
ESK|MCS SUPPORT
Their Recital of Polar Trip Tai
lies With Explorers.
NATURE FAVORED TRAVELLER
Ice Smooth and Weather Good, Making
Long Journeys Possible, Rasmus-
sens Report Shows-BIow
to Cook.

Copenhagen. Knud Rasmussen
has forwarded from Greenland the
story told of their trip poleward by
the Eskimos who were with Comman-
der Peary last year.
This story, which tallies with that of
the explorer, is as follows in the words
of the Eskimo Ukujak:
Leaving the ship (Roosevelt) we
travelled north in the months of Febru-
airy and March Before the departure
many sledges were sent ahead, three
at time, with food for men and dogs.
Peary travelled with Kitdlugtok and
Arkriok After five nights the depot
supply sledges returned
During the whole trip We had fine
weather. When only three days jour
ney from land we were delayed by
open water. Well over this, we had
40 delay on the whole route; ahead
the ice was splendid, After leaving
Capt. Bartlett we did five days jour
ney. Before separating from Captain
Bartlett Peary had taken several OBJ
serVations. Now since we were alone
he took observations oftener when the
tent was pitched. We still had food
for men and dogs.
we were so far north that the sun,
however late at night, stood high in
the sky, moving in a circle, without
going up or going down. Finally Peary
ordered a halt and thereupon he him
self, with two men, continued the jour
h. hoy
ing done the forward and backward
journey without rest. AT last said
Peary to us, I have reached what
wanted" At this place we slept two
nights. Peary was very much en-
gagged with observations and the last
night he did not sleep at all.
"On the way home We had fine
weather without any fog. How long
the days journeys on the outward and
hOmeward journeys were we do. not
know. The fine easy ice made very
long journeys possible every day. On
the whole trip home we had only one
days rest. That was when we reached
land. Now, Peary was in a great hur-
ry Together with me and Igganguak
he hurried ahead to the ship, with only
one nights rest. We and our compan-
ions slept two nights. Later on, after
we had reached the ship, we had an
eclipse of the sun.
I'VE did not notice Peary's happi-
ness at the pole, but after the arrival
at the ship he arranged a festivity for
the Americans and for us Eskimos
This is all we, Igganguak and Ukujak,
have to tell about the journey with
Peary"
Rasmussen's report from tAe Eski-
mos of Cooks party and those of
Peary's party has made strong i'm
preston here, where many still be-
lieved that the Eskimos would rehabil-
itate DIR. Cook in the confidence of the
public The National Tidende says
that their story means the final rejec-
ton of the doctors claim that he
reached the north pole. The newspa-
per adds that the story told by Com
mander Peary's Eskimos gives valua-
BILE support to his own narrative.
