No one of the recent commercial fail ures has a stronger lesson for men of un bounded enterprlßO than thut of Erastus Wiinan of New York city. For a num ber of years past Mr. Wiman was special representative of a prosperous com mercial agency, and the connection gav him an Income of $25,000 a year, enough to satisfy ordinary ambition, and to earn which it would seem that 800 and odd working days are none too long. Never theless, Mr. Wiman for five or Bix yean has been interested in a variety of enter prises, each of which was enough to tax .one man's capacity for administrative work. One of them was a rapid transit steamboat and railway line from Now York city across the bay and threading Staten Island, lines aggregating over S( miles. After making good progress a couph of years Mr. Wiinan retired before tin system was half complete, leaving th< control and management to others. A second scheme was to thread the island with electrical railways, motive powet to be furnished by n lighting and motoi plant which has been under construction over a year. Another enterprise liai been the erection of homes for the mid dling classes, to be sold on installments, with a life insurance policy to secure the payment and to secure the family ol the purchaser in case of death. As s propagation for this enterprise Mr. Wi man secured the title to about 1,00( acres of farm land accessible and suit able for the purpose. Incidentally he hae advocated and devised plans to carry out a building and loan association with tin insurance feature attached to the loans A racing association on the beach al Staten Island is another project to whicl Mr. Wiman has given some attention. All of these projects are feasible and in line with public needs, and Mr. Wi man's intimate business associates de clare that If he had devoted himself tc any one of them exclusively he mighl have made a fortune for himself and created a public benefit as well. Bui aside from inability to attend to so many irons at once Mr. Wiman had insuf ficient capital at the start, although he was fortunate in possessing good credit. With inceptive enterprises resting upon foundations liable to be shaken in every financial flurry, the final outcome might have been looked for. And along with Mr. Wiman tumble the schemes. All of them feasible and reputable in them selves, they must carry the stigma oi having broken an enterprising man and wait a long time for new investors. Meanwhile the people who stand in need of the improvements must be the chief sufferers. Does that sort of a tiiania for doing things pay? Of Interest to Whist Players. The whist players of America are greatly interested because of the pres ence on this side of the water of Henry Jones, the Englishman who writes on thisjDble game of cards over the signa ture?)? Cavendish. Mr. Jonesishero for the purpose of taking part in the whist congress that is to bo held in Chicago, and he is in great demand wherever he goes. Whist players and newspaper men beseech him for interviews, the first class for the purpose of having knotty points of play settled by his auto cratic tips, and tho second for copy that may be sold for shekels. The players are delighted because the great British expert says tho "American lead" has been adopted by progressive English players, and tho reporters occasionally secure enough of his time- to enable tho making of a salable story. It should be understood by the public that the whist congress is in no sense a part of or'held under tho auspices of the officers of tho World's fair. It is an an nual-gathering of whist players, who de cided to meet in Chicago this year pos sibly because the fair is held there, but its arrangements are entirely in their hands and have been made independent ly of the Columbian exposition's commis sioners.

FROM SUBURBAN POINTS. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE OF NEIGHBORING TOWNS. Drlfton'rt Usual Ituilgct of News anl Note* Put Up in Readable Shape—Fire at Jeddo on Saturday and a Narrow Escape of Ninety Kegs of Fovpder. Special and regular correspondence from the surrounding towns is solicited by the TRIBUNE. Communications or items intended for publication must he accompanied by the name of the writer. DRIFTON ITEMS. Every person of town who takes any interest in base ball and wishes to see Drifton's reputation upheld on the dia mond should attend the Fearnots picnic here next Saturday evening. The boys did nobly last year and give ample promise of doing equally as good on the field this year. It requires money to give the public free base hall, and those who enjoy a game such as the Fearnots put up ought to show their ap preciation by turning out at the picnic. There will bo something there to amuse all, and those who wish to dance will be given lots of opportunities to enjoy De- Pierro's music. James McCarty attended the wedding of D. J.

The crews on the D. S. & S. are being laid off on their turn. It seems as if there is a little power to spare on the line at present. When the winter sets in, however, there will be plenty of work for all. The bicycle craze has struck town with full force and many new wheels have been purchased this spring. Where it will end is hard to tell, as many persons who propose buying them would be liable to fall out of a wagon. The slaughter house and the stream leading from it would stand a little in vestigation from a sanitary committee during this warm weather. The foul stencil which arises from the stream, between the slaughter house and No. 1 shop, especially in the evening, is beyond description. The air is filthy and sickening in that vicinity and is enough to create a plague. UPPER LEHIGH NOTES. E. B.

The fire is supposed to have originated from the spark of a locie and in a few minutes the (lames made such headway that they were beyond control. In a department in one of the buildings the powder was kept, and fortunately that morning tlio ninety kegs which it con tained were remoyed, or else the des truction might have been greater.
