company, which, on .liily 1 ne.U, will
Institute a pt'ii.'ion .ystetn even inoro
liberal than some already in opeiatlon
on a number of other American "all
toads. Years uro this railroad took a for
ward tilde toward cultiatlti a
wholesome sense of the community ot
Interests between employer and em
ployes by enabling Its employes to hc
nulie stuck in the i orporatlon. The.
rxperinii'iu worked Well and It was not
uncommon for oiisiiieors and biakemeu
10 participate in the company's annual
stockholders' ncjcthms, wheie they In -Mirlably
received icspecttill and atten

lint now the road rocs further, llme
atter, ollieeis and employes between
the iircs of M.l.-oiie and seventy who
have become incapacitated tor any
cause and who have beii ten years In
the service of the company may be ic-
11 red and pensioned. The amount of
the pension ranges all the way from ID
to KU per cent, of the salary, depi'iidliiR
upon t hi. time the employe has been in
the service. An engineer, under this
system, wlm-e average pay was SU'.I a

of salary varyiiiR lioni 10 to 5U .iccord

To slait with, tho company makes a
cash Rift of jLTili.OOllO to the pension
land. In addition it agrees lo pay any
amount needed for the pensions up to
?lun,iiuii each ye.'i. If the annual pen

by reinstatement within one year, ot

lediietion of the force, when unattend

considered a bieak in the continuity
The Illinois ('Vntial is also liberal in
another icsp-.'ct. Most joads nowvie-fu.-e
to employ new men over thiitv
llve yeais of ape. It applies this iMle
to Inexperienced men, but wheie the
applicant for employment has had ex
perience, the age limit ift put at forty
lle ji'.irs. Hays 1'iejident Fish: "Tho
load hits now between oO.i'UO and B.'i.uOn
employes, half the size of the I'nlttd
Status army, and all active workers.
They must be kept to high elllcleiuy.
Conditions are moie arduous every
year. Wages arc higher and stability
ot employment greatei. To keep the
force in the best condition, we want a
penson system."
Unquestionably this practical form of
business-like good will to the instiu
inents of business success is bound to
grow in tavor among employers and u
time will come when no hone t w-jvkor,

T WILfj surprlro no one who
knows of John D. HockefJller's
gltts to the cause of education,
and of tho devotion of hla son
and namesake to all causes of philan
thropy to learn that the younger
Uockofeller was-one uf the pattv of
seventy-live distinguished .Vorihurners, j
twice spoken of In these columns, who
last mouth went South In. the cause of '
education. .Mr. Hockeft Her, aecordlng
to all the reports made of that Journey,
kept himself as much out of the public
eye as possible, hut, accompanied by
nn architect and builder, inspected
many sites for schools and drew plans
for school buildings according to local
ity and population. The UucUefelleis,
father and son, are among tha several
millionaires who stand ready to make
tho educational scheme planned at.
Winston-Salem, X. i, a success for all
the South.
The enormous jesultaui good Unit
must coma In a few years to tills en
tire nation from the carrying out of
this great scheme of public school, in
dustrial, and normal, training can bo

oniplo. men! of the millions and bill
ions of doll.ira In the gi-al ludiistilal
I'eiitres of the land, and the over-wld-eiilng
circles of population iirouinl
them.
It is really worth while to quote a
paiagrapli from a late letter of "Hol
land" to tho Press of Philadelphia. It
Is not tfio brief luvlew he makes of
gteai gins, but of continuous employ
ment and wusi'i, naming but a few
iriincs, that we reproduce:
"When John D. Itockefcller modestly
and for the t pore of Illustrating his
point told Ills son's Bible elass that
Ihc corporation of which li is tho head
had pakl out J700,u00.fi00 In wages hu
did no more than echo what Abrnm is.
Hewitt once (old an audience of work
lugineii. Mr. Hewitt's tlienifi was that
no man can amass great wealth by the
aid of any Industry or any Invention
without increasing the wealth of the
w oi Id In tar Rreater pioportlou than
Ills own was increased. He Illustrated
that by speaking of Sir Henry Besse
mer as one of the greatest of philan
thropists. For Jlesseiii-'r'n piocess
brought him about $:'0,Ouu,uuii, but It
Increased tho wealth of tho world, ac
cording lo Mr. Hew-ltl's estimate, by
as much as $l,00a,0i)0,ni)ii, and almost
every person at least in the civilized
world was directly or indirectly lvne
lltod thereby. IMi-ou once made a
compulation that his Incandescent
lamp supported l.fliin.OOi'i persons and
increased the tapltal of the world by
i.eaily $SnO,000,ni.io, although his own
share in that invention was only a lit
tle over ".OfiO.OOO. So, too, the inven
tion! of AVestinghouse, of Bell, have
probably inci eased the wealth of tho
world by as much as $1,000,000, (Jilt) and
the two corporations, one Identified by
Wcstliighoiisc'.i name and the other of
which .Mr. Collin is the head, am pay
ing several millions every year, the
pioportioiiale wagjs each one receiv
ing Iroui this payment being very
high."
Tills is the point of view of the good
thai enormous industrial enterprises,
that can only be carried on by im
mense (apital, arc doing eery day,
that N so pusislcutly ovei looked by
multitude.-. Is it because it lies :,o
near them? It is no less worthy of
consideration than is the power of
wealth held as a trust to lcgcnernte
through education the social condition
of ,i 'jivat section of a great nation.

fintry, dated Tar lac, Liuon, P. I , .March 2.',
In ublch the writer !)js: "I want to tell voa
toniftliiixr about tho Brt pay day alter the
abolishment of the aimy canteen. I think, after
J on hiw lead it, that you will acknowledge
that the doliiff away ulth the eantcen in the
army was a Ripat mistake; and all rlcht-mlnded
.inn put people will do the. tame. I am In
position win re I sec a great dell more than
eonici to tho knowledge of the officers, and,
though much hippcnrd that w! brought to
their nollre, theio was a great deal niorc of
Mhieli thi-y lai. uotlilnsr about. The amount
of diuiikcnneM and flslitlns was awful md dii
Kiivttiitr. And whi? Deeniip, in the th.M idacc
the foldieii hid too iniiih money, hailnp; no
tinlten rlniUs to pit- for. And, In the second
plirc, there was id po.,t caulien in which to
pend it, wheie tl.ey would luce hid to keep
onler. I lie results weic mil the men dimply
reiiiud all our town anions the canteens urn
by eliilijn5, and for two or three dais It nas
fcindjlou-. uw, oil of thee men drank before
they came In the army and they arc bound to
cct it alter they gel in. When the army canteen
w ii in existence checks were issued to those
who wanted them, at the rate of thife dollars
worth a week. On pay day these cheeks were
paid for, and, is a le-ult, ery little drunken
ness. And, bc.-.ldc-., the companies Rot all the
piofits, which went into the company fund
and was med for billing c.tia food for the men.
.Sow the outsiders Kit it all, and the. men hie
ni KOiernment .straight, on which I auio jou
wo don't liee quite hs IiIkIi a.-, they do at tlie
Allan lloii'c. Of our Minn detaelimeiit, sta
tioned al this place, fiic wcie put iu the guard
houif and theie weio about twice as many
ouslit to hue been, and the number of black
e.irs and bruised fues It iciv gnat. Now, I
do not want to piic the impression tint the
Amctican soldier ii in that condition all tho
tunc, (or he ts not. A finer looking set of men
than we hair here il would be had to find,
or a bcttir lot of tlghting; men, but they will
drink, and, theiefore, r.ugni to liaic tome place
to diink in wlure theic would be no trouble
and from which they theni.ielies would reap the
profits. Instead, they aie compelled to patronie.
places where all kinds of liquor are fold, and
jou can bet they are not of the beat quility.
An armv niitcen, jou know, -pIU nothing but
beer and hslit wines, and is at all times under
the Mipeiiision nt a sciKCiut, who is the tttuard,
mid cf an otllcer of the por. Ml this talk of
the KOcrnment eiitieini,' men lo dunk through
the canteen i )ittcr nit. A )nan does not haie
to draw cbeckj, neither is he compelled to
dilnk; and t want to tell uu something: That
.1 nun who does not dunk is icspccud and
trusted by tin; rest ot the men. cicn the worst
nt them. A pieat nuny men dicw checks who
were not drinkiu? men, but it was for buy In?
tobacco, soap or paper, or lots of thincs that
i soldier needs. Sow they do without until
inv dav, and I tell you it is quite a hardship
to' some of them lo ko four to sis weeks with
mil tolueeo. Thcv cannot lay in a stock when
tlicv haw the mone.v, as tobacco molds iciy
quickly in this eliiiiale, ami as for keeping by
enough money for that purpose, well, that is
almost Impossible for a soldier. You see it ia
so hot in this country that his money is contin
ually bin nine; holes in his pocket. '

1 Trilkrd toward the door of him that I hated
In- the month nf the apple blooms
And like tlioughtj of (foil's loiu for s loiing
world
neat down the ntr perfume.'.
Of loio the mated songsters saii(-.
And the child'llkc brooklet prited
Still I Journejed em with a heait n( hale
To Ihe eloor of him I Inled.
And Ihc hills sent up their Iijinu of pnl-r,
To skies bent low lo hear;
And the world was alert to catch the Minn
Of the song of tlio wakened jear;
And the heait of tho woild beat dt with jm,
With Jul' and loie elated
But. I strode, on with a heait of liate
To the door oi him I hated.
And then there rame tliiough the open door
A coffln borne by men,
Which they bore lo a graic 'neith Iho ipple
treis I
Al. the loot of i blossoming glen.
When they left him tbtie' mid the apple tires
To his ue.i.heaped mound I trcpt, ,
And the birds sang glad as- they sang before,
Ilut I fell on his giaie and wept.

ExpeosDve
There are two kinds of expen
sive furniture--
First The kind that is pur
chased at a higher price than it
is really worth.
Second The kind that's made
out of costly and rare woods,
beautifully carved, and upon
which no expense is spared in
its construction and finish.
The latter is classed as "ex
pensive" because it costs more
than the ordinary, and there is
an impression that such furni
ture cannot be bought anywhere
short of New York.
We have Bedroom Suits. Side
boards, Dining Room- Tables,
Parlor Suits, Library Tables and
all the smaller articles that go
with them, of the very highest
fjrade, elaborately carved and
highly finished.
Look them over before your
next trip to the city.
