Had Incomes Of
Million In '35
One Person Reported Making
Between Four And Five
Million That Year.

One person in every 100000
rolled up an income of $1,O0O,O0O
or more during 1885, the United
States treasury reported this week,
The report said there were Al
millionaire incomes in 1885, COM

ter were only one in every $780,

In the boom year 1929, 513 indi-

The treasury said in a survey ten
persons had incomes between ST.

$l,50O,OOO and 100000; two be-
tween $52,OOO,OOO and 100000;

Yankees Retain Their Crown AS
World Champions; Lick Giants
Captured 1887 Series In Five
Games. Gomez Is Big
Hero For Winners.

Again the New York Yankees
are world champions.
The conquering Yankees climaXed
another record-smashing chapter in
their book of amazing baseball &C
complishments by over-powering
the Giants in only five games to win
the. 1887 World Series.
This triumph of the Yankees
marked the second straight conquest
of their neighboring rivals, their
fifth successive World Series vic
tory and their sixth since the war.
They won previously in 1928, 1927,
1928, 1882 and 1896.
This set an all-time record. The
Yankees broke a tie with the Bos-
ton Red Sox and Philadelphia Ath-
letics, each of whom has won five
World Series. The champions of
the world have now captured 20
of their last % series games and
there is no club in either league
that, in two years, has come close
to challenging their supremacy.
On the other hand, the hard-fight-
ing Giants experienced their eight
World Series defeat, thereby add
into their own record for absorb
ing the most setbacks of any single
club in series history.
The Yankees started the series
off with bang last Wednesday by
winning the opening game 8 to l
The next days contest ended with
the same score prevailing. On Fri
day, when most everybody was pull
ing for the Giants, the Yankees cap
tured another game and it looked
as though everything was about
over the Giants.
However, on Saturday the Ma
tional League champions came
back strong behind the superb hurl
ing of the renown Carl Hubbard
who had lost the opening battle
and won the fourth game making
the series count 3 to l.
Last Sunday nearly 10000 avic
fans ignored inclement weather ane
saw the Yanks, with the mighty
Gomez on the mound, clinch the
series, winning by the score of I
to 2.
Besides the marvellous pitching
performance of Gomez, other out
standing features of the series were
the sensational fielding and hitting
of Joe Moore for the Giants anC
the clubbing of most every member
of the Yankee club.
Cliff Melton, North Carolina:
star, was unable to hold the Yanks
He pitched the second and fifth
game.
The total gate receipts for the
five games just missed the million
dollar mark. The world champions
collected $169,26851, or $5,836.3
per individual player; while the
Giants got $112,845.67, or $3,891.2;
per player.
Interest in the series here as wei
as throughout the nation was very
keen.

She Wanted to Be President

CHE wanted to be President of
- the United States but if ever
there was a forlorn hope it was
that ambition of Victoria Clafin
Woodruff.
She started under the handicap of
being born in Ohio to family that
was not only poor but diSreputable.
And neither she nor her sister,
Tennessee Clafin Cor ''Tennie c."
as she wrote IT'D ever tried to re-
trieve the family reputation. In
stead, both of them added several
shocking items to Puritanical Amer
ica's low estimate of the Claims.
For one thing they went in for spir-
itualism and, what was worse, they
became free love advocates.
Victoria first married DR.. Can
ming Woodruff but soon discarded
him for Col. James H. Blood, a
handsome and distinguished Civil
war veteran and kindred spirit,
whom she later married. TenneS-
see went to New York and won the
admiration of Commodore Wander
bilt who set her and her sister up
as brokers. Having thus entered
the business world, the sisters set
out to prove that women were just
as capable as men in other lines
of activity.
They began publishing Woodruff
and Claims Weekly and with it
Victoria started her own boom"
for President. She ran for that
high office on a platform of wom-
ems rights-and kept right on run
ming for many years. She went to
Washington and appeared before
the judiciary committee of the
house of representative to demand
the right to vote. Of course, she
failed to win that right just as she
failed to get anyone to take her
Presidential candidacy seriously.
So she finally gave up the at
tempt, discarded Colonel Blood and
went to England where she acquired
another husband, as did her sister.
Then both of them disowned free
love, won their way into English
society and for many years pub
lished magazine devoted to ad-
vanced views on many subjects.
Eventually Victoria settled down
into a placid existence as the Lady
Bountiful of small town in Wor-
cestershire and became known as
"a social reformer who suffered for
views now generally accepted"
When she died in 1927 at the age of
ninety, the vicar who prea ched her
funeral sermon told his hearers,
I'VE have been privileged to have
had one of the worlds greatest
personalities among u.s.!

UNCOMMON
AMERICANS
By Elmo @ Western
Scott WdtsOn Union
Father of the Dime Novel

4 FEW years before the open
4 ing of the Civil war a printer
in Buffalo, N. Y, began issuing a
magazine called the Youths Casket
and a little later another, called
the Home Monthly. Neither was
much of a success. More success
full was his brother who ran a
newsstand and began selling songs
o.. single pages in much the same
fashion as the ballad-hawkers of an
earlier day. Then the printer broth
er published a number of these songs
in a pamphlet called 1.-The Dime
Song Book" and it sold so well that
they decided to move to New York
city and publish other books for ten
cents.
Thus it was that great Ameri-
can institution was born, for these
brothers were Erastus F. and Ir-
win P. Beadle and they were the
Fathers of the Dime Novel," They
took into partnership another ma
tive of Buffalo, Robert Adams, and
for the next three decades there
came from the presses of Beadle
and Company and Beadle and Ad-
ans a perfect flood of little books
(the Pocket Library, the Haf-Dime
Library and the Dime Library to
thrill the souls of American boys
and to fill the hearts of American
parents with fear that their sons
were being corrupted, beyond all
hope by these 'yellow-ba cks."
How groundless that fear was is
shown by the fact that some of the
most distinguished Americans of to-
day grew up on a reading diet Of
Beadle's dime novels. Exciting and
thrilling those stories may have
been (opening, as so many of them
did. with Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three shots rang out and another
redskin bit the dust'O but they were
also highly moral. For the Villain

single boy ever was ruined by read
ing one of them.
Irwin Beadle retired from the
firm in 1862, Robert Adams died in
1866, and his two younger broth
ers, William and David, succeeded
him. With them as partners Eras-
tus Beadle carried the dime novel
to the heights of its success. He
continued in the business until 1889.
Then he retired with fortune built
up by the dimes and. nickels Of
Young America. He died in 1894
too early to realize that certain of
the little yellow backs which he
sold for a dime would later sell for
hundreds of dollars because they
are Americana" and collectors
items!

firmly to the belief that only Johnny

the midst Of argument that Glenn
Morris had the looks and physique
for the part, but she still held out
that he would never be able to give
the Tarzan yell. Whereupon some
old meanie said that in that case
the producers would hire the same
yeller who hoWled for Johnny.

For those audiences that like

two new pictures just made to Or
der. "The Soldier and the Lady,"
an RKO picture which is really that
old classic of spine chillers, "Mich-

lar since it introduces army scenes
made in Europe. More intimate, but
less bIood-curdling, is Love From
