The troubles of a millionaire are il lustrated by a story told of William Rockefeller by one of his attorneys. The oil magnate bought a large tract of land in the AdTrondacks, which he uses as a game preserve and forest home. A local paper announced that Mr. Rocke feller intended to buy half the Adiron dacks and make them into a park. The article w as widely quoted, and soon let ters began to pour in. The letters were soon followed by brokers, farmers, real estate agents and speculators. Mr. Rockefeller at first denied the report, but this had no effect. His secretary answered every letter in the negative, but this proved ineffective. His clerks were instructed to tell all callers that their employer did not want any Adi rondack land, but even this was futile. Not long ago Mr. Rockefeller was driv ing, and stopped to rest his horses, when a man suddenly walked out from behind the trees and asked for a match. Mr. Rockefeller went through his pock ets and handed the man three or four. The man struck a match and said: "I am much obliged to you, sir; I wanted a match very badly, and you came just in the nick of time. By the way, I believe you are Mr. William Rockefeller and you want to buy some land in this neighborhood. Now I—" The sen tence was not finished. The unhappy capitalist threw the box of matches to the man and drove off in a gallop. The governor of Texas has a name with which some people are fond of taking liberties. It is Hogg, and some of his enemies once started the story that he had two girls, one of whom he named lira Hogg, the other Ima Hogg! But, in a recent interview, Gov. Hogg has this to say: "The truth of the mat ter is that my girl's name is Ima Hogg. She was named by her mother. Her mother was reading a book somewhere, in which one of the characters which interested her exceptionally was named Ima. About that time the little girl came along, and she was named Ima. We never noticed the play on the name until it was called to our atten tion. The boys all have rational names. They are Tom, Mike and Will." So the governor cannot be accused of in tentionally making the little girl say she is a small, porkish animal every time she speaks her name! The San Francisco Wave reports that a young woman who patronizes the free library at San Jose was anxious to read Ilopkinson Smith's "Tom Grogan," but whenever she called for it the book was invariably "out." She begged then that the librarian notify her by tele phone as soon as the book came in. The book was returned next day, and the librarian telephoned. It was the girl's father who answered. "Tom Grogan," he shouted, indignantly. "So Tom Grogan wants my daughter to come up after him. Look here, you tell that young man from me, if he wants to see my daughter he had better come here and do i(." While a dozen states in the central part of the country were suffering last week from a temperature of about 100, with a hot wind from the south west, the temperature was down to the frost line in northern New York and to that of freezing in one corner of Ver mont. In the grand army encampment at Philadelphia some of the veterans built fires in order to be comfortable in the mornings. The two extremes seemed to be related in some way not made clear by the weather department. A pitiful story, with a very evident moral, comes from Toledo, O. Five rest less boys left good homes to "see the world." They got as far as Akron, 0., where an accident befell them as they were endeavoring to board a train, and now one of the five is dead, two are badly injured and in the hospital, and 'the other two are in jail. It hardly seems necessary to comment upon this over-true story from real life. Anyone can easily draw the most evident moral from it. Spain will not be surprised to learn that under tlu» management of the United States government the receipts of the island of Cuba from January 1, 1599, to June 30 exceed the expenditures by $1,480,( 21. The surprising thing to Spain will be that the American offi cials didn't pocket the surplus hastily and say nothing. THEORIES AND CONDITIONS. UcKlnlry I'mmiirll) llns Taken the Wind Out of Hit- Calamity llowler'* SIK U. After inexcusable delay and with un graceful reluctance lion. William Jen nings Bryan and his cohort of calamity howlers admit the presence of prosper ity, but, true to their instincts of mis representation and evasion, they tem porize with the inevitable. Their fallacious tiatism met face to fece with an actual increase upon a gold standard basis of $400,000,000 in the money supply within the space of three MeKinley years, they double on their tracks with the plea that this but jus tifies their contention that an increase in the money supply was a necessary precedent to prosperity. They have a band of elastic logic easily adaptable to any given condition, only they fool no one but themselves, and themselves not overmuch There docs not appear to have occurred to these wise political economists the rare possibility that prosperity due to restored commercial confidence, good crops, and a foreign trade largely increased under the im petus of a revived industry, may have created a new and profitable use for money, and so held at home the gold that democratic hard times from lack of confidence in home enterprises hail driven abroad. It has been suggested by some discerning student of finance that prosperity may be a necessary prece dent to an increase in the money sup ply. It is a thought worth the atten tion of these special pleaders from a specious premise. Another thought in this connection worth careful conning is that genuine A DEMOCRATIC DUET, WHICH SOUNDED LIKE DISCORD. prosperity depends upon genuine money. The increase has been $400,- 000,000 in gold. It is not the product nor the accompaniment of a debased and depreciated currency. But, to waive argument, and accept conditions instead of temporizing over theories, is it not a good, sensible, sound business principle to, having now an abundance both of good money and stable prosperity, view the situation with satisfaction and eschew experi ments? The, positive state of MeKinley and prosperity is certainly far preferable to the possibility of Bryan and adver sity. It is not to be expected that an intelligent people will contemplate in any measure of complacency the ex change of the one for the other. Ohio, of a surety, has no such intention. For that reason, even though she had not others of import, she will ratify her republicanism in November and reaf firm it a year hence. —Cincinnati Com mercial Tribune. CTHuinbugs and charlatans may use the trust bugaboo for political effect, as they have attempted to do for years, but the people are interested in the agi tation just the same. It is scarcely to be expected that the Chicago confer ence will harmonize the many and di vergent views there presented or come to any agreement of practical value. But it is a beginning in a campaign of education that is highly essential and important, before enlightened and care ful legislation affecting large business interests can be had.

Present Prosperity Points to u Sur« Victory of (lie Itepnlitlenn* Next Year. Senator Hanna comes back from Eu rope full to his hat band with the op timism that makes for stalwart Amer icanism. -No sooner had he left the gang-plank than he proceeded to dis tribute cheerful prognostications re garding the country and the republican party. Senator Hanna predicts that Presi dent MeKinley will be renominated and reelected and that Mr. Bryan is sched uled for another defeat as the leader of the silver democracy. Of course, no one expects the senator from Ohio to pre dict anything else, but it cannot be de nied that he bases his predictions upon facts that are so generally recognized that they scarcely admit of any contro versy. So far as the currency question is con cerned, Senator Hanna reminds the op position that the republicans had to conduct a great "campaign of educa tion" in 1896, which will not be required in 1900. The people were at first in clined to yield to the sophistries of the cheap money advocates, but the tide of public opinion was finally turned by the most magnificent appeal to the pop ular intelligence ever witnessed in any political campaign in any country. The people arc educated upon this question. They have continued the study and in vestigation begun in 1896, and the longer t hey study the currency question the more firmly does the gold standard become intrenched in the popular will. So far as the trusts are concerned Senator Hanna is of the opinion that the democrats will derive no advantage from making this a political issue, for the republicans will take an advanced and aggressive position in favor of the regulation of these combines. The sen ator is alsc/of the opinion that "the Phil ippine question will be closed in six months," and it will then be difficult to create any great amount of enthusi asm over such a false issue as "imperial ism." The strongest reasons given for the senator's confidence in the determina tion of the people to continue the pres ent national administration are the sound commercial condition of the country, its revived industrial activity and the restored jiublic confidence in the stability of the national finances. These are the considerations that will have greater weight with the people than any demagogical appeals against "trusts" and "imperialism."—Chicago Times-Herald.

CAME AT DAWN. Admiral Deivey's M»t|>, Olymplii, Keaelies INew lurk Two flats Aliead ol Time The Admiral Astoiiislietl at tlie Preparations tluUe lor His Ite ceptiou on Nliore. New York. Sept. 27.—Admiral Dewey arrived oil' New York at dawn Tues day and the Olympia is now anchored in American water off Sandy Hook. The first shout of welcome was from the crew of pilot boat No.T. The marine observers along the coast had sigh I"d the Olympia in the first light of the morning. The shore batteries of Fort Hancock, manned by gunners called from breakfast, let loose 17 guns. The flagship replied with 21 and let go her anchors not far from where t.he cup challenger Shamrock is moored. The admiral was in his own coun try again, after 2:i months' absence. He had returned great and he scarce ly seemed to realize it. The pilot had brought aboard the Sunday papers and a reporter was received by the admiral in a cabin littered by the illustrated Dewey editions, which together made hundreds of pages in black and white and in colors, all concerning the ad miral and the preparations made to receive him. "It almost saddens me." he said, "to see what my people are doing for me. The pride and Gratification are im mense and I cannot express the appre ciation I feci. I did not know until this morning tlie splendid welcome my countrymen are giving m<\" The admiral said he felt tired, but he did not look so. His complexion is a clear bronze, his hazel eyes bright, his bearing brisk and rather jaunty. Some deep lines tire under his eyes and around his mouth, but his voice is clear and pleasant. The admiral's w hole presence is that of u man in his fullest powers. Minding to his arrival two day? ahead of the time he wsis expected. Admiral Dewev said: "I am sorry that lam ahead of the schedule. The Olympia has been steaming at the uni form rate of ten knots an hour since we left (iibraltiir. Several days ago we knew we would arrive before Thursday unless we moderated our speed or went somewhere out of out course. (.'apt. f.amberton, Lieut. Brumby and 1 held a consultation. The propriety of running inlo Hamp ton Roads or some other port in the south was spoken of, but we conclud ed that we ought not to touch land first anywhere except, at New York." The Olympia looks as smart now as a yacht. Tl#' anchors were hardly down before 1 lie crew were washing the ship's white sides and touching up the stain# with paint. The ad miral's first business was to send an officer ashore with telegrams for the navy and Mayor Van Wyck announcing the arrival. He was just finishing a midday breakfast when Sir Thomas Lipton called on him. Admiral Dewey hail a succession of notable callers. Rear Admiral Samp son with ('apt. Chadwiek. his chief of staff, and Lieut. Commander Winslow came on the Dolphin. Soon after Sampson had gone. Rear Admiral Philip voyaged down the bay in the Nnrkeeta and paid an official est 11. at tended by Commander Kellev. Dr. Sanborn, of llie port physician's staff, visited the Olympia and looked at hei papers. Kleven of the crew 0f,".75 men have typhoid fever. Some of the eases are convalescent and all of them are of a mild type. (leorge Lidwell, collector of the port; Postmaster Van Cott and several ot Ihe customs officers visited the ad miral and were conducted around th« ship by him. AH day tugs, sail boats and excursion steamers came up neat the Olympia and took a look at her i'verybody who asked was permitted to come on board. About 5 o'clock the admiral returned Sir Thomas Lip ton's visit. The unexpected arrival of the Olym pia for a time completely upset the plans of the reception committee. lie lore proceeding further in the ar rangements for the celebration in Dew cv's honor it was decided to consult the great naval hero.

Mew York, Sept. 28.—The Olympia yesterday moved up to the lower bay and passed through the picturesque strait guarded l>y Forts Wadsworth and Hamilton amid the l.oomiug' of great guns, and there inside the city gates Admiral Dewey and his gallant lars received the thunderous welcome of tiie men-of-war as the stately ship glided up to tier position at the head of the column, there to remain until (he great naval pageant starts on Fri day. Never perhaps did a triumphant warrior returning front a victory re ceive a more impressive welcome. Early in the morning before Dewey left his anchorage inside Sandy Hook, Hear Admiral Howison, aboard his flagship Chicago, which arrived Tues day night after her journey of 21,000 miles around South Africa, steamed in past tin' Hook, expecting to join the North Atlantic squadron in receiving Dewey upon his arrival.

There is a gentleman in Chicago—and th» boom of a cannon fired in front of the Times Herald ofiice would easily carry to him as he sits at his desk —who has made a study of economics and who writes financial editorials. A few weeks ago the managing editor took a vacation and the financial expert was left in general charge of the paper. One morn ing recently he received a letter from the managing editor, who wrote: "1 am stranded over here in Canada. I have been buying a lot of stull' that may bo useful to me some time, anil 1 need SSO. Will you please send me a draft for the sum named?" Of course he would. It would be a pleas ure to accommodate the managing editor. So the great financial expert hurried over to the First national bank, in which he kept his account, and asked for a draft for SSO ti> send to his friend. The bank officer gave him a paper to sign, and after giving direc tions where to send the draft the writei re turned to his desk. Two or three uneventful dayspasscd, and there came another letter from tut managing editor. "Dear sir," he wrote, "I asked you to send me some money, and I told you 1 was 'strapped.' What do you mean by drawing on me for SSO? I have telegraphed to a who has sent money to pay my way home. ' —Chicago Times-Herald.
