II"GAIi IMESTIGATIOX THREATENED
tCOHEESPOXDENCE OF THE DISPATCH.
1 New York, July a There are certain
corporation which guard the secrets of
thir we? Hh almost as jealously as they do
the weahh itself which are so rich that
they fea." to divulge the figures. Silently
and steadily the put away million after
million in their swollen coffers, making no
"repornjf the fact beyond the returns they
a-e compelled by law to make to the State
officials, and rendering these in such am
Llguous language and such preposterous
bookkeeping as to hide most effectually the
truths they are supposed to be telling.
Of these, four great estates in this city are
especially worthy of notice, for the reason
that none of them is engaged in commercial
business ostensibly, while the aggre
gate value of the property they
own i3 probably more than 5200,000,000
Startling as this statement is, a little con-
&ideration will occasion more surprise. In
rested as the most of the money is in real
estate, the growth of the value (including
the unexpended surplus of rentals) is prob
ably twenty millions a year certainly not
lets than ten millions. "What, then, in
another halt century will be the extent of
the holdings of Trinity Church, Columbia
College, the Sailors' Snug Harbor, and the
New York Hospital?
Of the origin of the great estates owned
arl controlled by the four corporations
much has been said from time to time of
Trinity Church, especially. Claimants by
scores have applied to the courts for their
shares of ihe inheritance which they think
should be theirs, but the courts have been
unkind. Decisions have invariably been
favorable to the vestry of Trinity, nd the
title which is vested in them is now as well
established as any in Hew York. Few
things are more definitely settled than that
the heirs of Anneke Jans" will never get
a Collar of the estate.
A Hundred Millions in Trinity's Treasury.
How great the estate is nobody outside
the Board of Control knows, and it is not
likely that anybody will know, excepting
.n one contingency to be mentioned pres
ntly. The late Dr. Dix, when, some years
go, he was at the head of this board, ac-
cnowledged that there were more than
550,000,000 in the treasury. and it is well
mderstood that this was an entirely in
deqtiate statement at that time. There is
o doubt that at the present time the vestry
wns much more than 5100,000,000.
Probably half that sum is a reasonable
timate of the wealth of the Sailors' Snug
iarbor. The story of this estate is less
Ridel v known, but it is lully as interesting
as that of Trinity. It is owing to the leeal
acumen of Alexander Hamilton that this
estate has been held intact for 90 years. In
June, 1801, he drew up a wiK lor Captain
Eobert Itichard EaudalL The Cap
tion desired to do something
which the laws recognize as distinct
lj opposed to public policy, namely,
to tie up his money forever for the purpose
of maintaining a home for disabled sailors
the famous Sailors' Sung Harbor and
Hamilton adised leaving it to eight per
sons who should be trustees by virtue of
their holding certain public offices. Ihese
eight were the Mayor and Recorder of this
city, the Chancellor of the State, the Presi
dent and Vice President of the Marine So
ciety, the President of the Chamber of Com
merce, the rector of Trinity Church and the
senior minister of the T'resbyterlantlenomi
iiatiou in the city (construed to mean the
minister o-'jl'sraior church). There is no
louger any Chancellor ol New York State,
no there are only seven trustees, but until
the succession shall fail in some of the
other offices this number will not be de
creased. Moreover, the eight, following
the instructions of the will, incor
porated themselves in 1831, so that they
sow form a self-perpetuating body which is
practically responsible to no one for its
management ot the property. As a matter
of course the individuals die, but by the
terms of the will and of the articles of in
corporation, the incumbents of these offices
succeed to the trusteeship. It is true that
the treasurer is obliged to render a state
ment every year to the State Government,
and the law "is technically obeyed, but these
statements are invariably written expressly
ta conceal the facts, and no information is
to be had by the public excepting the in
complete and misleading figures in the
statements, so that nobody outside knows
how great the estate now is.
Wealth ol Columbia College.
In regard to the other two estates men
tioned, there is even less to say, by author
ity. Columbia College, rich as it is, un
doubtedly devotes the entire income to the
purposes for which it was established, and
no reasonable person has ever questioned
that its afUirs are honestly and wisely ad
ministered. The estate ot the New York
Hosiii.2,-"TO Hs other hand, is conducted
jfitu such defiant secrecy as to give rise to
the opinion generally held that it, like the
two first mentionedis managed with an ex
travagance that amounts to dishonesty, in
that enormous sums are diverted from legit
imate nse, and paid to favored individuals
in the shape of unearned salaries or fees. It
is not known positively, as it is in the
cases of Trinity and the Snug Harbor, that
this is the case, but it is i ehemently sus
pected. Not exactly pertinent to the consideration
of these four estates, but interesting in the
same connection, is the story of the Man
hattan Company. This is a corporation
nearly as old as the present centurv, and
exists by virtue of ''a charter obtained by
7iaron Burr when he was practising law in
is State. This charter authorized the
npany to supply the city with water
ad toperform such other acts as should
t be inconsistent with" that business,
was a clever trick, and somebody discov
ed soon that it was not "inconsistent"
o carry on a banking business. Accord
lglr the company is now a bank and per
rnis the water sii jply act by maintaining
tank in its costly building at 40 Wall
eet, from which tank any citizen is en
led to a free driuk of water. It is not
orded that citizens flock thither in great
bers for the water supply now that the
c aqueducts have been constructed,
ompany is rich very rich, but it dis
i its surplus in dividends.

The number who gave me tlie last reason is
significant as showing where much of the
iuoouic of these corporations goes, for fa
mous lawyers are not cheap.
Almost everyone who would talk at all
referred me to the great and famous argu
ment made by Daniel "Webster in defense
of the charter of Dartmouth College when
that was assailed. Everybody is supposed
to know that that particular speech was the
master-plea for the inviolability of chartered
rishts. r The general opinion of precedent
loving lawyers and lawyers do love prece
dentsis that Webster's position, taken in
that speech, is impregnable.
There are, however, many lawyers who
do not acree with this idea. I could quote
manv names if it were necessary, 'xheir
opinion is about as follows: A corporation
is a body formed by the Legislature of the
State. As such it'is distinctly responsible
to the authorities of the State for its uses
of the powers delegated to it in its charter.
It can be called upon at any time by the
Legislature which created it for a full
account of all that it has done, and if it
refuses, or if the account is unsatisfactory
as showing a misuse of its powers, the
Legislature has full power to revoke the
charter.
The foremost criticism directed against
the institutions mentioned is that they
have never made a full report of their acts,
and that the reports they have made are
misleading as well as incomplete.

STOPPED WHEN LINCOLN DIBD.
Story of a KrmarUable Clock Which Has
Bni Running Forty Tear.
COHBFRPONDENCE OP THE DIRPATCTt.l
New York, July a Probably not one
in a thousand of the multitude who dally
look up to Tiffany's big clock on the front
of their massive fire-proof building on
Union Square, New Yorfc, and set their
pocket time pieces to correspond, has any
.idea of its interesting history, and that it
became famous at the time of President
Lincoln's assassination, when its hands
stopped at the verv hour of his death.
In a talk with Mr. Tiffany, tie well-preserved
octogenarian and active head of the
house, the writer learned that the clock
was constructed for the firm long before the
war, in fact nearly 40 years ago, when the
firm was vet in its infancy. It was when
the building which still stands was creeted
on that site that the famous clock was first
put up. It is mounted on a wooden figure
of herculean proportions, representing Atlas
upholding the world upon his shoulders.
It was carved by a well-known firm of
American shipbuilders, who at that time
became renowned for their superior model
ing of figures and figure-heads, such as were
used in ornamenting the bows of vessels.
The figure itself stands nearly nine feet
high, while the circular space behind the
dial of the clock above, the figure, is almost
large enough for the man who cleans the
dial to stand up erect inside.
It was while at 550 Broadway that, by a
strange coincidence, it recorded one of the
saddest events of the history of the country;
for, without warning, and without any ap

Alter the firm became settled in their
handsome new building on Union square,
over 20 years ago, the clock was mounted in
its present position, where it continues to
mark the time of day, after 40-years of ser
vice, almost as accurately as the chronome
ter in the watch department on the ground
floor.
The clock stands on the-second floor of the
building, fitted into the center window on
the outside. The works were made in the
firiVs own clock shop,and are not behind the
dial as eapposed, but in a glass ca6e on ihe
flood above, and are so constructed that
several clocks can be run in diflerent parts
of the building all by this same movement

From Montana comes the glad tidings
that Mrs. Potter Palmer's nail is completed
and is now on exhibition. This nail i to
be the last one driven into the Women's
Building at Chicgao, and is to be driven by
Mrs. Palmer herself. The metals used in
its construction are gold, silver and copper.
It is arranged as a brooch, in the shape ot
the State seal. The nail rests on a slide
back of the pin
Both nail and brooch will be presented to
Mrs. Palmer, who will doubtless value
highly the interesting souvenir of one of
the proudest moments of her life. The
dashing gem at the top of the shield is a

The result of the above sweeping and startling offer, which went into effect last Monday, had a most electrifying effect. From all sides buyers streamed to take advantage of this glorious opportunity, and several
thousand Suits, which were on our counters last week, are now in the hands of several thousand happy customers, every one having saved from $5 to $15. But the money thus saved by the people was our loss. And
it's a big one. It has swallowed the profits of a year and more. Under the circumstances nobody will be surprised to learn that this great and glorious offer of
ANY SUIT IN OUR HOUSE FOR $15
Will positively and irrevocably terminate to-night We can't afford to keep it up any longer. Besides, the sole object for which we made this great financial sacrifice, the reducing of our large stock, has to a large measure
already been accomplished. Now, then, gentlemen of Pittsburg and Allegheny, if you don't want to miss this rare chance, come in before 10 o'clock to-night. Remember, it means" .choice of our entire stock for $15. The
same, or an even lower offer, might be made by other houses without causing as much as a ripple of excitement, but how different when made by Kaufmanns'! The reason is plain. Here it is: People prefer to take
choice from Kaufmanns' stock for $15 to. taking choice from other dealers' stock for $12 or even $10. And why? Simply because Kaufmanns' show finer Suits and more of them than any other house in this city. It is
a matter of fact that over three-quarters of Kaufmanns' stock consists of suits worth from $18 to $30, the other quarter being medium grades. ' Elsewhere the case is reversed-the. bulk of the stock consisting of lowei
qualities. But why explain what everybody knows? Wise men will be on deck to-day and save from $5 to $15 each by taking choice from Kaufmanns' entire stock of Men's Suits for Fifteen Dollars.

An Actor ten a legacy by Woman Who
Wanted to BUrry Him He Wa Already
n Benedict, Thonjb, and Is Now a
Widower.
New .Brunswick, N. J., July 8.
ISpeeidL'i Actor George a Dayle, of the
Howard Theatrical Company, has just
fallen heir to a neat little legacy of 110,000.
His good looks are responsible for his good
fortune, for-the money comes from a lady
who admired him and wanted to marry him.
Dayle was playing with his troupe at
Troy," N. Y., at the time he met the lady.
She had been noticed at the house every
evening, and occupied one of the boxes.
Finally she wrote a letter to Dayle .and
asked him to see her. He did so and found
that the woman, who was nearly 20 yeafs
older than himself, desired to marry him.
She admired and loved him, she Bald, and
could bring 'him her fortune as well as her
admiration.
Unfortunately for her the actor was
already married, having wedded Miss Hat
tie Smith, of this city, by whom he had one
child. He is now a widower, but had
heard nothing more of the woman from
Troy till a short time ago,' when he received,
word of her death and ot the fact that she
had left him $10,000, half her fortune.
Mr. Dayle himself was in this city re
cently visiting his uncle, ex-Alderman
Jordan Dayle. He sailed for Europe lately,
and consequently nothing can be learned
from him of his good fortune. His rela
tives are reticent about the affair, and the
name of his admirer cannot be obtained
from them. The legacv, however, is. un
doubtedly genuine, and it is from a desire
to shield the lady that her name is with
held. The actor is tall, fair and about 25 years
of age. He was brought up by his uncle,
who adopted him at the age of 5, and when
he was 18 he ran away and went on the
stage. He has many friends in this city
who remember him as a quiet lad, very
reserved in manner.

ROUTINGAN ARMY.
How the Worst Invasion or Modern Times
Is A biolately Overcome Hints ot Great
Value.
When men or women feel depressed or
debilitated at the present day, it Is common
to say, "I think I have malaria," What is
malarial It la only germs that set into the
body; germs that thrive and increase unless
they are killed; germs that worm themselves
all through the system; germn that ruin the
health and undermine the life. They are
aggressive, they feed upon the body, they
must be killed. Many things which have
been advocated for killing these germs will
not do so. It has been thought that quinine
would accomplish this, but many people
cannot take qnlnine; it disagrees with them,
it often nauseates. It is known, however,
that pure spirits taken in moderation will
kill and entirely exterminate the worst army
of germs which ever invaded the Bystem.
They cannot withstand It. Under the in
fluence of pure stimulants the germs are
killed, and the body is strengthened to ex
pel them from the system, and thus restore
the health.
It should not be understood, however, that
all spirits will do this, few will. It requires
something specially pure, and specially de
signed for this purpose, and that is precisely
what Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky is. It is a
scientific, medicinal preparation. It does
not rank, with the ordinary whiskies, but is
specially designed for fortifying the body
and repelling disease. It has the highest
endorsements of doctors and scientists; it Is
wonderfully popular became it Is so efficient
and powerful. Do not be deceived into the
use of any other, for there Is no other prepa
ration upon the market that can accomplish
what Is accomplished by Duffy's Pure Malt.
You will find that it is kept by reliable drug

Chronic" Diarrhoea, Weakness and
Debility a Result.
How tatarrb. Brought on a Train of Pain
ful Disorders Mr. Bowman's Story.
A specialist, whose observation 'covers a
wide range of diseases. Is often Impressed
with the frequency with which catarrh, ec
zema, rheumatism, stomaob, bowel and kid
ney disease, or some other painful and an
noying blood trouble seem to go hand in
hand. '
The depleted condition of the blood is
often due to a catarrhal affection, which
takes the direction of a blood or bowel dls'
ease rather than the nsual nature of such
results. The case of Mr. Barnes Bowman, a
packer In Messrs. Hbzan, vans & Co.'s glass
house, and who resides on Paul avenne,
Boggsville, West Liberty borough, may be
used to Ulnstrate this point.
"I had been troubled with chronio diar
rhoea for'two years," says Mr. Bowman,
"but which became unusually aggravated
the past six or seven months. My appetite
became depraved and fitful, it was seldom I
had any relish for food, and what little I did
eat caused a heavy bloated up feeling, with
frequent eructations of ens and almost con
stant pain in my bowels. It f eemed that my
food passed away without bein? at all di
eested, and I lose strength and flesh stead
ily. I became so weak and debilitated It was
hard for me to keep on with my dally labor.
I was more tired in the morning tban when
I ended a hard day's work.
"My head always seemed dull and heavy
with frequent headaches, but I had none of
the usual head symptoms following catarrh
of the head, excepting bad taste in the
mouth and coated tongue. My trouble was
principally confined to my stomach and
bowels. i
Mr. Barnes Bowman, Paul Avenue.
"I found that I must do something more
than I had done or I would have to give up
my work, so I concluded I would consult
Drs. Copelond, llall and Byers, as I had read
of their good work in troubles such as mine,
Tbey at once diagnosed my aliment as ca
tarrh of the stomach and bowels, and, as
their system of consultation and examina
tion seemed so thorough, it at once inspired
me with confidence and hope, and I imme
diately dealded on a thorough course 'of
treatment witn tnem.
"The results have been surprising and
gratifying in the greatest degree. My bow
els aie now regular, my appetite has re
turned, I am gaining in flesh and strength
dally, have no -pain, no dull, heavy head
ache, no bad taste in the mouth, arise re
freshed in the morning, and, in trutn, feel as
well as I ever did in my life. To say that I
am pleased with the treatment I have re
ceived from Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers
but feebly expresses my feelings, and I
freely recommend them to all my friends
and the public"

The Result of Neglected Colds Statement
of Mr. Robert Klein, Who Was Cured or
This Most Distressing .Affection.
"I had been troubled with catarrh and
kindred ailments lor five years," says Mr.
Klein, "biought on by exposure.
"My trouble first began with headaohes
over forehead and through temples. I bad
to cough aud spit for quite a while every
morning before I could sit down to my
breakfast.
"When I would begin to eat my stomaoh
would grow nauseated and feel full and
bloated in a little while, causing belching
up of gas and palpitation of the heart and
frequent digzy spelts. My mind grew con
fused, I could not concentrate my thoughts
on any subject and finally could not add
up a column of figures correctly. My sleep
?;rew troubled by horrid dreamaand 1 awoke
n tbemornlng umefreshed. The leas t exer
tion caused palpitation nnda weak and trem
bling feeling, spots before my eyes, etc. I
felt at times I would have to give up work.
, "Under Drs. Coneland.Hall & Byers' treat
ment I soon noticed a diminution of all my
symptoms. My head became dearer; my
stomach and appetite lmpioved: my eyes,
ears, nose and throat troubles passed away;
my sleep became sound and refreshing, and
I awoke in the morning rested, all ready for
my daily work.
"It is with pleasure I make this statement,
hoping it may point others, afflicted as I was,
the road to health and happiness. Drs. Cope

Please Remember.
That this is the most favorable season of

That more can be accomplished In one

KEEP
THE SKIN
CQOL!!
A great many pe'crpie; are-annoyed by
Itchy Skin, and attribute the cause to va
rions skin diseases or stomaoh trouble.
Most frequently the itchiness is-caused
by the clothes worn, being washed with
soap containing Free Alkali. This; alkali,
not being thoroughly rinsed out of the
clothes, has a heating and irritating -effect
on the skin, as well as gradually de
stroying the clothes.
WALKER'S. FAMILY SOAP
contains no Alkali; It fs all Soap. Clothes
washed with It last'twlceas long as those
washed with ordinary soap, and do not
heat and irritate the skin.

In this emergency I proposed to the nurse

fore the patient had taken it two full days
we noticed an improvement in her condi

for two months, during which time she took
four and a half Dottles of Rbeumaenrs, ana
no other medicine whatever.
She Is now walking about and is well, out
