Every man, woman and child in
the United States in 1912 is accred-
tied with 81 ,965 and the entire ma
ton with grand total of $187,739-
100000 in bulletin by the census
bureau on the national wealth in
that year. Today the total is more.
The report shows that the country
is getting richer and that since 1850
each person is six times richer than
he was in 1850, or. rather, six times
richer than his parents or grandpar-
ents. For in 1850 the total wealth
of the nation was 81 ,l36, 900, 900, or
$308 per capita. The wealth of the
nation in 1912 was twenty-five times
greater than in 1850.
While New York heads the list
with the greatest wealth, Nevada
stands at the top in the per capita
allotment of wealth.
New York's wealth in 1912 is Civ
en- at $25, oil 900, 900, with Illinois
and Pennsylvania running neck and
neck for second place with SIS ,484-
100000 and SIS, 458, 900 900 respec-
lively. Nevada has a per capita
wealth of s4,865, with Iowa second
and North Dakota third.
The latest published estimates of
the wealth Of foreign countries show
1880. 600, 900 for the British EN-
pire in 1903, of which amount $72-
997,0OO,OOO was credited to the
United Kingdom. The estimate for
the United States in 1904 was $107-
1O4,00O,OOO. The wealth of Ger
many IN 1908 was estimated at ST.
100000. Comparable estimates
are not available for other nations.

MS. P. WINS HOLIDAY GAME
DEFEATS OAK PARK BY
SCORE 1913.
BIZ Z. ". Z.

Decoration Day was celebrated
at this Institution on Monday. May
31st. The weather man did the
usual thing for the occasion by pro-
viding the first real summer day
we have had this year. The in
mates herein enjoyed the pleasure
of seeing our home team, the M.S.P.
gain decided victory over the Oak
Park nine by a rather surprising
one-sided score of 23 to Is. The
game was ragged from the start,
and from the sixth inning to the
end, the outcome was a foregone
conclusion. The scoring started
from the beginning. Law the first
man up for Oak Park famed and the
next failed to reach the initial sack
but the following five scored, the
eighth and last man being caught
trying to steal second. The home
team did nearly as well in their
half bringing in four TALES before
being retired. Score ga.
For the next three runs the visit
ors collected collection of
goose eggs, while the M. S. P.
on heir side, picked up one, five
and two runs respectively in the
same time. In the fifth, the Oak
Park boys scooped in single and
followed this by pair in the sixth,
and seven in the seventh, but they
were unable to keep up this pace
and in the next two innings were
moved down in an easy manner.
The locals on the other hand,
annexed one in the fifth, nine in the
sixth and single to finish in the
seventh. The Dark Park nine is
certainly game bunch" of losers
aud we trust they will have better
luck next time. There pitching
staff was the weak point, and it is
due to this we place the long score.
On the home team the players
all put up good steady game.
Red and Saxo forming the battery
Errors were few and stolen bases
many. Lovely walking away with
six. Saxo made the first home run
of the season.

SENoUSSI HAVE
SWEPT THE SoUDAN
According to Berlin, the British Are
About to the Driven Out
of Africa

Berlin, March IA German mer-
chant who recently has returned from
Egypt is authority for the declara-
ton that the whole of the Sudan, in
cluding Khartum, and also parts Of
Nubia are in possession of the Der
wishes.
The statements of the traveller are
published in the Vossische Zeitung.
He describes also an engagement near
Fashoda last December, in which
General Hawley, of the British army,
and a number Of other officers, to-
gether with almost 1000 men, lost
their lives
The merchant in question relates a
story of the alleged uprising of the
Senoussi tribesmen in November. He
declares that they destroyed an Aus
traIian camp near the Pyramids on
November 10, killing 200 Australians
and capturing guns and provisions.
Later, in large force, not less than
go, 700, they oyerf1owed the entire pro-
vince of Fayum and destroyed all
railroads, including the Cairo-Assuan
line. December l they destroyed. the
Cairo railroad near Da-
manhur.
Thousands of tribesmen responded
to the appeal of the Dacvishes. and
IN December 13 10000 Of them march
ed in the direction of Fashoda on the
White Nile. where General Hawley
opposed them with 5000 troops. Of
the men under Hawley all the native
soldiers deserted to the Dervishes,
leaving him with only 1000 men. Most
of this contingent was killed, and
General Hawley and all his officers
fell. Nabus- -El5Asi, commanding the
Dervishes, had all his prisoners de-
capitated.
AS result of this victory all the
native chiefs joined the Dervishes,
who on January l took possession Of
the important military post at Mas
ser, IN the district of Sennaar.
This merchant declares further
more. that the Dervishes destroyed all
the telegraph lines in lower Egypt.

DETERMINED TO MAKE CHINA
A JAPANESE DEPENDENCY
Advantage to the Full Being Taken
b Mikado of the War
in Europe

London, March 19.-The Manches-
ter Guardian publishes what IS de-
'seribed as a complete list Of Japan's
demands on China, and says editorial
" that their general effect would be
seriously TO impair China's independ-
enee and place entire provinces under
the tutslage Of Japan.
The paper compares the Japanese
demands as sent out by press corre-
spondents at Pekin with the version
published officially by Japan.
ct VIII Immediately be apparent
from this eomparison,' the paper con-
tinues, that not only had many OF
the most important demands been
omitted from the list as supplied to
the pcwers interested, but others had
been so modified as to disguise their
real character. Thus Japan did not
indicate that while she insisted China
should agree not to ALLEVIATE any por-
tiop Of her coastline or any islands
off her coast to a third power, she re-
tained the right to demand herself
the lease of cession of such terri
tory.
Neither did Japan let it be known
that she demanded exclusive mining
IN the Yangtse basin, and she be al
lowed to construct railroads which
would seriously affect British inter
ests in that region"

PREPARING To MAKE
ANOTHER PROTEST
THE ADMINISTRATION DEMANDS
THAT BLOCKADE MUST BE
COMPLETE TO BE
OBSERVED

Washington, March 19.-The block
ade of Germany by Great Britain and
France must be real to give the allies
the legal right to stop commerce to
Germany in neutral ships and through
neutral countries. This is understood
to be the position of the administra-
ton regarding the British "order in
council" and is expected to form the
basis of new representations soon to
be made to Great Britain and France.

GERMANS HIT BLUE JACKET
RUSSIAN CONDITIONS
ARE NOT ROSEATE
Effects of the War Felt All Over the
Cars Vast Empire

Petrograd, March 19.-Rosy re-
ports Of conditions in Russia are CON
stantlys finding their way abroad. One
would almost believe on reading these
stories by correspondents of English
birth and pro- British prejudices, that
Russia is better off now than in peace
time! This is shameful mistake.
The war burdens are bitter hard on
the lower CLASSES in the empire. Mis-
cry is widespread.
1t is true that the prohibition of
the use of vodka has done something
to alleviate the situation But the
effects are not as great as has been
heralded abroad. What would be
called "blind tigers" in the United
States are springing up like mush-
rooms. Their speciality is "Tchant-
chi" said to be an imitation of drink
by the Chinese It is much more
potent than brandy or vodka.
Everywhere one hears complaints
about the rising prices of the neces-
saries of life. Spectators are blam-
ed, of course, in addition the taxes are
almost beyond endurance and hit the
peasants especially hard.
The use of horse flesh for food il
increasing. The government has re
duced the freight charges on horse
flesh, recognizing that it is now the
food of the very poor.
In the Polish provinces conditions
are infinitely worse than in the inter
ior. The INST alarming reports come
from the small towns, where dir,
poverty prevails. There is lack o
coal. due to the German occupation
of the mines of Jaglebie. This ha
recessitated the closing down of fac
tories and industrial establishment
aend has consequently impoverishe,
hundreds Of thousands of Polisl
workingmen. In Warsaw fuel is s
high that four-ffths of the inhabitant

place of kerosene lamps.

Editor Star: The Lake Weir Yacht

hopes for a gustatory revel. For in

pinochle and tennis; among the en-
trees was wood block with cement
sauce and liver pads; among the veg
etables were dead beets, chilblains and
lettuce alone, while the pastry afford
ed choice between glue mango, yeast
cake, linoleum glace and door jam in
family jars.
But do you think that the diners
were permitted to partake of any of
these delectable products of the mod
