':While the great wealth of individ-
uals who accumulated it is, as long as
they live, apparently safe in their
for the country at large-these vast
fortunes, in time, will have all to be
transmitted, distributed and be-
queathed. In the opinion of many
thinkers herein lies the real danger,
il any, of great individual wealth.
May Prove Curse.
"Placed intact in the hands of an
heir who neither helped to create nor
save it, and who may turn out to be
incompetent, dishonest, unscrupulous
and prof1igate. it may prove a curse;
and should society not have some pro-
social and moral wrongs committed by
him in the abuse of this wealth?
New laws could, with reason be
enacted to prevent the evil and dis
solute use Of inherited wealth. So
deep a conviction have I that a proper

often thought it meet and just way
for man to distribute an estate by
first providing for his family, also
charities, and then dividing the re-

II will now take up the subject Of
corporate wealth. AIN corporations

money. This charge may be entirely

way affects the matter of his gifts. The
cry of tainted money does injustice,

Selfish Motives.
edison. Fulton and Morse may,
like most men, have been inspired in
their work and projects by sordidSor
selfish motives, yet this did not lessen
the value of their great inventions
I'm keeping with the undeserved
abuse of wealth, which is entitled to
no serious consideration, we are con-
tronted by the bold assertion, made by
extremists, that some limit should be
set to the amount Of property an in
dividult may own. The Impractical
bilitys and inadvisability of any such
measure are at once apparent. You
might as we'll try to limit the capacity
or energy of an individual. When you
prevent an individual from accumu-
dating you at once discourage his pro-
ductiveness. This is an axiom beyond
dispute.
LET us keep in mind the fact that,
as Carroll D. Wright says, while we
now have billionaires the poor are
growing richer, and that, as pointed
cut by Bernstein, there is a very large
increase in the number Of persons
paying taxes; ana also, Cnat the rlCn
in America now own a smaller pro-
uortion of the total wealth of the
country than they did so years ago In
view of these facts and the generally
good use of wealth, as shown by its
possessors, it would appear that the
objections made to great Individual
wealth are without tangible founda-
ton. 1t is the abuse, not the use, of
wealth that is to be deprecated.
with the characteristic American
way of keeping wealth actively en-
ployed and generously distributed, and
with the very apparent growing sense
Of heavy personal responsibility that,
in fortune building. seems always to
develop. there need be no fear of any
impairment or destruction of the in
situations of our republic from the
accumulation Of great individual
wealth.
Let us bear in mind that the vast
individual fortunes of Americans are
nearly all self-made and in the hands
of men who began life in poor circuum-
stances, and that most of the most
successful men in business are those
who possess high character, as we'll as
remarkable capacity, great thrift and
other good qualities; and that men of
this type with greath wealth have
never proved a menaca to public well

in point of numbers, any of it's for

the Manufacturers association Of
Bridgeport was held, last evening, at
The Stratfield. Covers were laid for
1877, the number including most of
the prominent, manufacturers of the
city, speakers of national reputation
and guests. The list of speakers could
not possibly be better arranged. They
included a financial king, a United
State Congressman head of a great
railroad enterprise, and one foremost
in promoting International peace. TAX

best ever arranged by the association

of the most notable in the city for a

Supreme Court Reyerses De-
cisiOn of Lower Court in
Famous Salem Road Case
WADE TO GET BIG JUDGMENT
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Ted Collier won out in his fight
against the town of Salem in the Su-
pr8me court of the state as this morn
ing the court handed down decision
reversing the decision Of the lower
court. In the trial Of the case in the
Circuit court the jury returned YER
diet for Collier and fixed the amount
of his damages at $500. On the mo-
tion of the attorneys for the town
board the court set aside the verdict
and rendered a Judgment for the town.
The attorneys at once appealed to the
Supreme court holding that the verdict
was not in keeping with the law and
the evidence.
The Supreme court affirmed the de-
cision of the Circuit court in the ease
of Nicholas R. Wade by his guardian
George r. Wade against the Chicago
and Northwestern Railway company
and Wade will be able to collect the
Judgment of $4,000 granted him by the
jury. The Wade case was one of the
most bitterly contested ever tried in
the county.
The court affirmed the decision of
the Circuit court in the suit Of Lothrop
VS.. Miller.
No decision was handed down in the
suit Of Enoch Kline against the Mil
waukee, Racine and Kenosha Electric
Railway the court having failed to COM
plete it's investigation of the argument
in this case.
In the suit Of Douwe Gaastra VS. the
County and the city of Kenosha, grow
ing out of the paving of Crate street,
the judgman CT the lower court was
affirmed, this being complete victory
for the city and county. This case had
been in the courts for several wears
and it is now expected that the paving
taxes levied by the city will be paid

BIC CLAIM COMING
Collapse of Harper Memorial
at Chicago is Blamed to
Powder Mill Explosion
DAMAGE MAY Be THOUSANDS

The E. [. DUPONT de NeMours Pow
der company may have one large bill
to pay as result of the recent eX-
plosion at Pleasant Prairie as kilograms
from Chicago declare that it is now
thought that the explosion at the Ken
osha county plant was the cause Of the
collapse of the great Harper Memorial
building being erected at the Uni
versity Of Chicago. The building col
lapsed a week ago and seven floors of
it fell. Fortunately there was no loss
of life but it is declared that the pro-
perty loss as a result of the collapse
of the building will be many thousands
of dollars. AS yet no formal claim has
been made against the powder company
by the University of Chicago but ex-
perts who have been at work seeking to
solve the cause of the buildings col
lapse declare that everything points to
the fact that it was caused by the vio-
lent vibrations of the earth caused bv
the powder explosion. An investiga-
ton was started on Saturday and it is
probable that there will be interesting
developments in the matter within the
next few days. Should claim be made
for the destruction of the building it
is certain that it would be by far the
largest claim made against the com
pany as a result of the explosion. The
building as planned was to cost in the
neighborhood of half a million dollars
and it is claimed that the loss result
ing from the fall Of the tower will be
IN excess of one hundred thousand dol
lars.

MANY EXPOSED TO DISEASE
AIRS. John Jones Attended Club Meet
ing When in Most Contagious Stage
of the Disease-Keep High School
Students at Hom0s

The village Of Bristol the largest in
corporated village in Kenosha county
Is under quarantine on account OF
scarlet fever scare and DR.. f. E. Stew
ems the health officer of the village has
taken prompt steps to prevent any pos
sible spread of the disease At the pres
emit time there is just one real well de-
fined case of scarlet fever in the village
but more than twenty-five women and
children were exposed to the disease
and DR.. Stevens has insisted oil the
quarantine Of every one Of them. The
one patient is Mrs. John Jones a well
known woman of the village. She was
taken with the disease some time ago
and when she was breaking out she at
tended a gathering of the women OF
the village attended by twenty-five PEG
pie. On the following day DR.. Stevens
was called to attend her and found that
she was suffering from the disease in
the most dangerous stage of the con
tagion. DR.. Stevens at once secured
list Of the women who had attended
the meeting Of the "soap club on the
afternoon in question and ten houses
were quarantinod.
The children from these houses have
all been taken out of the schools at
Bristol but the health officer has not
as yet doomed it necessary to close the
schools Of The village. Three children
Of the village who were attending the
high school in Kenosha are among the
number now under quarantine and they
will not be permitted to resume their
studios at the high school until all dan
ger Of contagion is passed.
When interviewed in regard to the
conditions Dir. Stevens said: "There is
just, one case Of scarlet fever in Bris
tol at the present time but it is true
that many people were exposed through
Mrs. Jones attending gathering Of
women held at the home of Mrs. An
drew Hansen There were twenty five
women and children at this gathering,

in quarantine. 1t is possible that not
d single other case of the disease will
develop but 1 was unwilling to take
any chances and have insisted on quar-
anHnes being maintained over all PEG
pie exposed to the disease. These quar-
antines will be kept up until such a
time as there is no danger of contag
ion. The disease is not in it's worst
form and the condition of Mrs. Jones
is satisfactory to her relatives.
