Mr. Powderly was arrested at his home

Congressman Enloe, of Tennessee, wants
the expenses of congressional funerals
cut down, and he is quite right. His
idea is that SSOO is enough for a funeral of
this kind, and ho has introduced a bill limit

they have been as high as $2,000 and some
time $5,000, and scandals have come out of
them. It is thought that tbe committee on
accounts will report the bill favorably.
Congressman Amos J. Cummings’ bill to
provide for a monument to the late Samuel
J. Tilden, and to inscribe upon it, “Nine
teenth President of the United States
Elected bat Not Seated,” will never be
taken out of the pigeon-hole to which it has
been consigned, but it served a very good
purpose. It directed attention anew to the
great republican steal of 1576, the most
gigantic political fraud in the history of the
country.
The little King of Spain seems certain to

Congressman Simands, of the First Con

Congressman Siuionds course in supposing
him, but tbo c mgressinan seems to be some

sta .dsupoi hii right to name the post
master under the avowed policy of Presi

Some republican newspapers are calling
upon the United States Senato to investi
gate the election of Mr. Calvin S. Brice.
They pretend to believo that Mr. Brice
bribed some members to vote for him. If
tbe Senate wishes to investigate, let it go
ahead, and let it sift matters to the bottom.
It will very likely find tha, Mr. Brice on
ducted a clean campaign, and that some of
his accusers are controlled by ra dl te, while
others presume, si nply because he is
Wealthy, that he bought bi3 election.
Blaine's Mistake.
It is evident that it is the purpose of the
democratic senators to insist upoa tho pass
age of Senator Morgan's res lution rec >g
mzmg the republic i,f B ard. Tie senti
ment of the country te ms t< be that this
government ought to have shown its friend
ship for the nw republic we.-ks ago bv giv
ing it such moral support us wonl 1 follow
the formal recognition of it. Tuere is no
good reason why Senator Morgan's resolu
tion should not Be adopted. Although
Braz 1 lias no- yet a republican government
it will have as soon as an electi on is held.
The time for an election has aiready been
fixed.
There may be serious disturbances b fore
! the republic becomes fairly established,
j According toour dispatches yesterday there
has already been one di-turbaace in which
| a hundred or more rebellious soldiers were
killed. But tho occurrence of disturbances
j or the apprehension of them should not
deter this government from extending t o
the republic a friendly hand. M >ral as
sista ice of that kind may help the republic
to resist the attack of its enemies, a id it is
no doubt the desire of the peopl > of this
country that the republic should be perma
nent.
Thero is an impression in Washington that
many of the republican senators think thy
made a ini-takein voting to refer Senator
Morgan's resolution to the committee o:i
foreign relations instead of voting to adopt
it at once. It is known that some of them
favor it, but voted to refer it simply be
cause it was understood by them that Sec
retary Blaine was not re idy for the govern
ment to announce itself the friend of the
now republic. There is some ground for
thinking that Mr. Blame cons.d >rs that he
made a mistake, and it is reported that the
President is far from Rati-fled with the
position which tbe government occupies in
the matter. If this is true the republican
senators ought to correct their mistake at
once.
It is pro bablo that they would consent to
tha passage of Senator Morgan’s resolution
now if they could do so without appearing
to follow the lead of tbo democrats. They
don’t want the Democratic party to have
the credit of taking tho lead in showing
friendship for the Brazilian republic, and
this feeling may influence them to delay
action on the resolution longer than they
otherwise would. It is wiser to acknowlege
a mistake, however, than to persist in it.
This country wauts the good will of Brazil,
and the best way to obtain it is to help her in
her time of trouble. When she has passed
beyond the danger point, and considers who
were her friends when sue needed friends,
she will npt find much in tho action of this
governmsifc that will give her pleasure
unless congress aud the administration
promptly recognize her. Her trade will, to
a large extent, go to those who stood by her
in her days ot trouble.
South Bound Road.
Is it not About time for the committee
which has the interests of the projected
South Bound road in charge to get to work?
What benefit is to be derived from any
further dfilav ? Last fall it was said that an
effort to' raise the additional amount re
quired to'insure the success of the enterprise
would be made as soon as tha bulk of the
cotton Ofogj was marketed, aid the mer
chants had time to give attention to the
matter. VVSell, the cotton season is about
over. Very little cotton is now c i ruing into
the hands of tho factors. Business men
have leisure. There is no more favorable
time than the present to make an effort in
behalf of the South Bound.
Does anybody doubt that the road would
be a jiaying one, or that it would contribute
largely to Savannah’s prosperity? Of course
not. Money invested in it, thoro is every
reason to believe, would be profitably in
vested. Why, then, this delay in getting
subscribed the additional $25,008 that is
needed?
If we want to build up Savannah we
must work together, work earnestly, and
never show any signs of weariness, if we
make up our minds to have the South
Bound road, we can have it in operation
by tho beginning of next year.
Electing War Veterans to Office.
It is not uncommon for republicans to
say, in a fault-finding sort of way, that the
democratic canditate in the south who has
the best military record has the best chance
of election. Asa general thing, this is true,
bat it must not be supposed that in the
south a military record Is considered the
chief or the only qualification for office. A
man who has served his people well in time
ot war is more than likely to be faithful in
the performonee of any other public duty,
and it is natural that his countrymen
should regard him with feelings of co ifi
denco and gratitude. If, in addition to
this, he possess the ability to perform satis
factorily the duties of the office to which
he aspires, ho lias a decided a Wantage over
the candidate who has no military record,
or a record that excites uo enthusiasm .
This is equally true in the north and the
south. But for his military record, Gen.
Grant would never have boon President,
and in the last national campaign a groat
deal was heard concerning Ga i. Harrison’s
services as a soldier. The sketches of the
lives of the members of the Fifty-first con
gress in the Congressional Directory show
that more congressmen who have military
reoords were elected from the north than
from the south.
It is very well understood that the term
“confederate brigadier,’’ as applied to south
ern democratic congressmen by republicans,
is intended to be one of reproach, aad that
those who use it hope thereby to make
political capital for th dr party. Consider
ing how many confederate veterans the
republicans themselves have elected to con
gress, it is a little strange that they should
refer to this subject as they do. Since recon -
struction the south has had a oout 125
republican congressman, of whom nearly
one-third were confodorate vetora is.
Among them were Foster Blodgett (sen
ator), Christopher C. Biwen, Samuel C.
Gove, Simeon Coriey, E lward W. M.
Mackey, Thomas T. Spear, John R. Cham
bers, and John S. Wise. Every time the
republicans elect a confederate veteran,
they virtually admit that thoir loud talk
about “rebel brigadiers” is merely for po
litical effect in the north.
About one year ago, six masked men en
tered the homo of the Oman family, near
Fhidlay, 0., and announced that they
wanted $ 5,0)0, which was said to be se
crete lin the house. They found only SISS,
and gave vent to their disappointment by
holding a little 4-year-ol 1 boy over the fire
until he was well scorched. The other day
the grand jury returned indictments against
six of the leading citizens of the county for
the crime; and yet it is being daily stated
that the north is comparatively free from
crime, and that suc.i crimes as are commit
ted there are by outcasts.
THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JANUARY If., 1890.
Brice's Triumph.
Mr. Calvin S. Br.c\ wnoTias been cho en
; senator from Ohio too succeed Senator
I’ayr.e wiii n t take his seat until a year
: from March 4. next. Very few men who
l ave sougut high office have been attacked
|si bitterly without cause. All kinds of
stories affecting his character we:e circu
lated during thejprogress of the senatorial
c ampaign. It was iai 1 that he was not a
detainer it fro n principle, that he accumu-
I latai his fortune by dishonest methods and
that he purchased his election. Of course
there was no foun lation for any of these
stories. Nobody beiievod them, t .ough a
great many republicans pr-tended to do si.
Tbe stories did not do Mr. Brice any harm
because they wore understood to be cam
pi. gu lies. If they had beta true they
would have been supported by evidence of
some sort. The absence of evidence of any
kind was sufficient to rob them of ail power
to injure Mr. Brice.
It is right and proper that public men
should be held to a strict accountability for
their acts, but the practice of charging those
who seek public office with offenses of more
or less gravity with the hope of lessening
their chances for success is one that should
be severely condemned. The tendency of
it is to cause them to bs regarded with sus
picion and to take from them some of their
power to servo toe public.
It is quite safe to say that Mr. Brice did
not pav a dollar to a single one of those who
voted for him. He was chosen on his merits
alone. It is true that he is a very rich man,
and it is to be regretted that so many mil
lionaire! are getting into the Senate,because
very rich men, as a rule, have business con
nections which load them to favor legislaj
lion that is not always for the best iute ests
of the masses, but the fact that a man is
rich sh mid not be a sufficient reason for
shutting him out of the public service.
There are rich men in congress who serve
tho people more conscientiously and success
fully than some of the poor ones to be found
there.
Mr. Brice is a man of marked ability.
Although he is a money-maker ho has tal
ents for other things than money making.
He was at the head of tho national demo
cratic committee during the last presiden
tial campaign, aud lie acquitted himself
very creditably in that posit.on. Some dem
ocratic newspapers have said that the
democrats were defeated in that campaign
because of his bad rn inagement, but thoy
failed to convince the democratic leaders
that their statement was correct.
Mr. Brice is a comparatively young man,
and doubtless will make a good senator. He
may not play a great role in the Senate, but
jt can be safely predicted th at he will make
his influence felt in that body.
A Prompt Response.
The Morning News, it appears, has
more influence with the postoffice depart
ment relative to postal matters than the
request of any number of citizens. There
has been need of a night clerk in the Savan
nah postoffice for a long time, and the post
office department his been requested many
times within the last year or two to
provide one. The request was answared
with a promise that the matter would be
looked into, and that was about all the at
tention that was given to it. A few days
ago the Morning New3 presented the
needs of the Savannah offio clearly and
forcibly, and a copy of the edition contain
ing the article was forwarded to the post
office department. The following answer
was received yesterday;
Postoffice Department, )
Washington, D. C. f
Editor Morning News: A copy of the
Morning News of the 10th inst., ad
dressed to tho Postmaster General, has been
referred to me.
In reply to the article in the said paper,
relative to the Savannah postoffice, I beg
to state that, under date of the llth inst.,
an order was made increasing the allowance
for*clerk hire for the sail office from tho
20th inst., in order to enable the postmaster
to employ an additi inal clerk for night
duty, in accordance with the revised
schedule as made by the general superin
tendent of the railway mail service.
J. 8. Clarkson,
First Assistant Postmaster General.
The foregoing is a very satisfactory re
sponse to the Morning News’ article.
Within a few days the Savannah postofflee
will be provided with a night clerk, and
mail arriving at a late.hour in the evening
will be promptly distributed. From the
statement of the needs of the Savannah
office, which appeared in the Morning
News, the Assistant Postmaster General
saw clearly doubtless that the force in the
office was too sm ill to do all the work nec
essary to be done to give the people as good
a service as they were entitled to, and
therefore he promptly ordered it to be in-
croasod.
The truth is thero is a great deal more
work to be done in the Savannah postofflee
than there was a few years ago. Savan
nah’s population is increasing rapidly, aud
her post ifflee accommodations are far from
what they should be. It is sincerely to be
hoped that the bill of Representative Les
ter, asking for an additional appropriation
for the postofflee building, will be passed at
this session of congress. The building is
greatly needed.
It is a fact worthy of note that the demo
cratic leaders in the House have almost
always been southerners. Commenting
upon this, the Boston Globe says; “The rea
son for this lies very largely ia tho fact that
southern constituencies are in the habit of
keeping their representatives a 1 onger time
in office than northern constituencies are,
especially democratic c anstituencies. Mr.
Mills has been elected to congress nine times
without a break. But in the north demo
cratic seats are more precarious. With a
few exceptions, like Randall of Pennsyl
vania, Holrnau of Indiana, and, until re
cently, Morrison of Illinois, and Cox of
New York, democratic congressmen from
the north seldom hold their seats longer
than two or three terms.” The Globe's ex
planation is a very good one so far as it
goes, but it doesn’t go far enough. In the
first place, the south is the home of states
men. In the next place, southern constitu
encies ge lerally seed their best man to
congress, and, as the Globe intimates, they
give them a chance to show what is in
them.
Tha New York delegates who went to
Washington to present New York’s claims
for the world’s fair express themselves as
being confident that their city will se
cure the prize. No doubt the dele
gates from the other cities do the sane
thing. Mr. John C. Calhoun, who has just
returned to New York from the south, says:
“I feel more than ever certain that New
York will get the fair. Tnefeeli ig in the
south is almost unanimous for New York,
and I think the great majority of southern
representatives ia cougress will vote that
way.” There is something solid about this.
Southern sentiment for Now York means
votes.

"Plots for stories have not all i<een usM. as
some people assert." remarkelW. A Jennings
of Wyi nniog in the Coktonads the (tier even
ing. “A friend of mine,'* t*e continued, "who
ii ■es out in the cattle country of the Big Horn
h isin. wav a witness in 1885, to one of tje most
remarkaole weddings of which I have ever
heard. At that time a few sellers had gath
ered in aad formed the mucieus of what is now
a prosperous farming region, but the swav of
th • cowboy vas undisput and. Toe first wedding
in that section on Owl creek was that of Big
Charlie and Jleetutse Xancr. a native sagebrush J
belle. The bride and groom came seventv-fiv- i
miles on horseback to the squire s, ani in
exactly the sane fashi.m. When within a few j
miles of the squire s home they met that official,
surrounded by half a dozen cowboys. Then the
bride got restive anil nervous, declaring t at she
wouldn't marry any man on earth. But the
ju ige, the cowboys, and the groom were equal
to the occasion. At a short distance stood a
corral.
" "Take her over to the corral, boys, and put
her in,’ said his honor.
“As Meetutse Nance heard this ordershe made
a wild break for the hills; but her days of free
dom v. ere over. She was quickly ru i down, and
amid a volley of feminine sagebrush eloquence
the delighted boys started on a lope for tne cor
ral. Reaching this. Nance leaped from her
bronk and started like a scared deer from some
adjacent brush; hut it was no go. Howev r,
she fought vigorously, and his honor ordered:
‘Hobble her boys.' The boys were inecstacies.
A pair of ra vb.de hob les were stripped from a
cavuse’s neck, and their twist adjusted about
the sturdy ankles of the struggling bride. She
was taken into the corral, and his honor, mount
ing the fence, bade the groom take his place by
her side, and catch on to her hand. This done,
his honor assumed the look of dignified imiior
tance called for by the occasion, and said:
'Big Charlie and Me. tur.si Nance, you come
inter ibis corral single. I now pronounce you a
couole B.g Charlie, unhobble your wife.’
"But this Big Charlie found it difficult to do.
and it was not until one of the cowboys had
gently cast his lariat over the newly-made wife
that the husband was able to turn the lady
loose. Then the justice called his boys together,
and. say ng, ‘Come on. boys, wo haiu't got no
business here now,’ led them away. Ole of the
boys lookel back, and the happy co..pie were
busy unpacking their camping outfit, and the
honeymoon bad evidently begun.”
He Sat Down.
From the Few York Tribune.
There is a sound of the voice, common, I be
lieve. to all the languages or peoples of the
world, which cannot be spelled, so far as I
know. It means an inquiry, it means an assent,
it means astonishment, it means anything and
everything. It is not a guttural sound like the
“u'gh!” of the savages, nor is it “uruph:” b..t it
sounds more like uh! than anything else, yet
that pboneticism, so to phrase it, does not
convey the full articulation.
There was a gentleman. Judge “Jack”
Wright of Indiana, well known in Washington
several years ago, who used that sound with a
rising inflection at the e and of each sentence he
uttered. He was an Indian agent for several
yars, and now lives quietly in a cottage at
Berkley Springs, on the meager savings from
the salary and perquisites of t hat office. In ante
beilum days Judge Wright sat on the bench in
Indiana, and on one occasion there came before
him the late Chief Justice Cartter, who had a
peculiar habit of stammering at the middle of a
word. He did not stutter at the b’ginning of
it. but stammered in tne middle. Well. Mr.
Cartter—that was his title then -said some
thing in the course of an argument before the
judge which the latter took umbrage at. Then
the following colloquy ensu-d:
“Mr. Cartter, sit uown, sir, uh?” said Judge
Wright.
“111 no-o-o-t do it, sir,” was the reply.
“Sit down, Mr. Canter, or I’ll put you in
prison for contempt, uh?” said the judge.
“You ca-a-a-u’t do it,” was tue rejoinder;
there isn't a ja-a-a-il in ail your juris-is-i-dic
tion.”
“Mr. Sheriff," said the judge, “take Mr.
Cartter down to the river, take a pair of hand
cuffs with you, take him on to that little islau I
over there, d'ye see, uh? Make him hug the
tree, and put the handcuffs on his wrists, so
that he’ll have to keep on hugging it, uh ?”
“I’ll si-i-i-t down, your honor,” said Mr.
Cartter.
“I thought you would, uh?” remarked the
judge.
In after years these gentlemen became great
friends, and it is doubtful which one of them
took the greater satisfaction in telling the fore
going tale.
Strength of Three European Armies.
From the London Timet.
The Almanack de Gotha for 1890, which has
been lately published, contains, as usual, statis
tical details concerning the military forces of
tho various European states. This portion of
the work has been thoroughly revised, so as to
secure the most accurate information accessi
ble. It appears that it is practically impossi
ble to ascertain the fighting strength of the
German army when placed on a war footing,
on account of the complicated arrangements
by which portions of tne territorial forces are
worked into the strength of the regular corps.
The peace establishments of Germany. France
and Russia are given by the Almanack as
follows: Germany—Bß 4 battalions, 465 squad
rons, 364 batteries, 1,500 mounted guns, 19, !5~
officers, 468,409 rank and file France—2o,763
officers, 534,100 rank and file, 480 field batteries,
with 2,06'J mounted guns. Russia—B4B battalions,
or 486,321 infantry, 328 squadrons of cavalry
with 57,416 men, 344 batteries of field artillery
with 1,642 mouuted guns and 61,880 men, 3 >4
battalions of engineers having 18,977 mem
besid-s 31,120 men of the “Train” service!
making a total of 562,500 men. To these should
be addc i 288 squadrons of Cossacks numbering
51.944 men, 112,850 local troops, and 72,634 re
serve men; which will bring up the strength of
tile Russian peace establishment to 799.928 men.
The Russian forces when on a war footing are
estimated as follows: 994,460 men of regular
troops, with 4,030 pieces ol* artillery; 280.810 re
serve men, w.th 010 guns; 137,730 Cossacks,
with 240 guns of their own; and 189,500 supple
me itary reserve men, with 381 pieces of artil
lery. This estimate is exclusive of local troops.
The war footing strength of France is esti
mated by the Almanack at "about” the follow
ing: Active artny about 2,000,000, dividel into
ten classes, according to age; 1,022,000 of the
territorial army, divided into five classes, ac
cording to age, and reserve troops, divided into
six classes, numbering 762,000, the totaJ amount
ing to 3,784,000 men.
A Draped Engine.
From the Hartford Times.
The sombre streamers floating from the engine
as it passes.
Festoon and fold that drape and swathe her
brightly polished brasses;
Rosette and band of black and white, conceal
ing gold and red.
Convey along the line the news: “An engineer
is dead:”
Perchance some woman, overworn with grief,
and weak with weeping.
Has left ner heart within the grave where he,
for aye, is sleeping;
Perhaps some little orphaned child is sadly
wondering wtiy
The “dear papa” so long is gone—and why
mamma should cry.
What matter though I knew him not? Is he the
less my brother?
Or can a ueart that bleeds for one be hardened
toward anotner?
Or may not we, in verity, the old command
ment keep—
" Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep
with them that weep?”
Whether within a peaceful home, or at his post
of dang r,
This engineer saluted death—l do not know; a
stranger
He was to me; yet tears will spring—l cannot
keep them back;
lam conquered by the pathos of the engine
draped in black.

When D. K. Tenney was admitted to the bar
he was one of the “boys.” He enjoyed a good
time as well as any one, and the following story
is told of him:
He went to a country dance near Madison,
Wis . one night, and b eanie smitten with one
of the country girls. He danced with her nearly
all the evening, regardless of the fact that m
certain six-footer in Jbe room kept watch
ing him threateningly. Finally a friend ap
proached:
“l)a i,” he said, “do you see that big fellow on
the I'ther side of the room?”
"Yes.”
“Weil, he’s going to lick the life out of you.”
“What for?” asked Tenney.
“You've been dancing wittt his girl all the
evening,”
"I didn’t know It. What shall I do?”
“Well, if I were you, I'd put on my coat and
make a sneak for hom ■. I'd get away from
here just as soon as I could.”
The embryo lawyer said never a word, but
reached down in his pocket and pulled out a $2
bill.
“What are you doing?” asked the friend.
“Take it.”
“I don't want any mouey.”
“Take it.” repeated Tenney. “I vo taken $5
for a blamed sight worse advice than that.”

porti >ns of a brick and mortar, picked up in the

at Rome, Italy, by a son of the late Dr. O’Con

rope- The material of the brick is similar to
that of which American fire brick is made, but
this ancient brick is only an inch thick, and it
and the mortar are 1,809 years old. Mr. Cline
prizes the re! cs of eighteen centuries as only an
old bricklayer could such curiosities.
There need be no more Leander-like or
Byronic swimming across the Bosphorus if the
project contemplated' by a French engineering
company be taken tip seriously and carried to
completion. This pan comprises nothing le s
than the construction ot' a colossal bridge 809
meters, or 872 yarns, long over the historic and
picturesque channel that flows between the
shores ot Europe a id Asia, connecting the Sea
of .Marmora with the F-Uxioe. The project has
been talked of many Times these twenty years,
but it was not considered that the bridge would
be useful enough to justify the enormous ex

It is a common thing for engineers to use
kerosioe to remove The scales which form on
the inside of boilerd. The oil is poured into an
e mpty boiler, and the water is turned on. The
oil, floating on the water, co . es in contact
with the scales before the water does. The use
of kerosene for this purpose in one of Mil
waukee’s slaughtering establishments where the
steam is U3ed in cooking ham, beet' aud sausage,
produced unexpected results. Tho kerosene
minzled with the steam, and the cooked meats
smelled as though they had been dipped into a
petroleum well. It was some time before the
cause of the seeming phenomenon was dis
covered. .
Here is Mr. Labouchere’s account of his ex

fluenza it be that is now loose in England: “I
like to be in the fashion, so I bore my fate with
equanimity when I discovered that I had caught
the preva ling epidemic. All of a sudden I
seemed to have caught a cold, and took to
sneezing, etc. Then came a cough, a headache
and an all-overish ache. Knowing that it was
not dangerous, I proceeded to doctor myself
by the hg.it of common sense. To prevent any
fever, lat once administered to mysel thirty
grains of quinine. Tnat settled the fever To
meet the cough, I took unlimited squill pills
That settled the cough. To meet the cold I
went to bed, heaped on my bed blankets and
took notmng but slops. That settled the cold
In four days I was quite well. I give my ex
perience for the benefit of others who may be
attacked.”
There’s a girl herein New York, says the
Still, who owes her figure to the art of the
tailor and to the chief product of the southern
states. She is the sort of woman who loses a
charm with every pin she takes out of her
gown. Instead of suffering under so much
cotton, it is a mystery to me that she doesn’t
go in for fattening, which is quite possible if
one will only be a little careful. A woman can
be fattened exactly as is a Strasbourg goose
llrillat Savarin sajd, “Gormaudizimr is favor
able to beauty.” The thin girl has only to eat
correctly and live correctly to get fat. In the
first place she must learn to be lazy, and thou h
she must walk a little, it must not be too fast
nor must she go too far. She must eat all the
fresh bread possibl , potatoes, in fact, all
starchy foods, game, gravies, sweets, nuts, and
creams. Sae must let tea and sour wines
alone; and if her bead is pretty good, she must
stick to champagne. If she guards her diges
tion, she can with good result keep a box of
p ain, sweet chocolates on her dressing table
aud nibble at them whenever she gets a chance
Do you know how the darkys in the south sav
the lit: le pigs get fat? It's “picking round the
kitchen do’,” which, being Anglicized, means
eating a little very often. RuiTbing tends to
make flesh, and a Russian bath once a week
will tend to keep it firm.
Mrs. Hetty Green has enjoyed the reputa
tion for a long time, says the New York World,
of being the most shabbily dressed millionaire
who wanders within the precincts of Wall
street, and any one who has seen her and made
a comparison mentally with tbe appearance of
a mecuanic's wife going to market Saturday
night is convinced that her reputation is well
deserved. Russell Sage wears inexpensive
clothes, but they ara not only neat but usually
have the appearance of being recently
purchased. Tbe only millionaire rival Mrs
Green oas in point of suabbiness is old Joe
Robinson, who was one of tbe contractors
eugaged in tho construction of the Union
Pacific railroad, and is said to be worth
$4,000,000. He was down in Wall street
yesterday progressing along tbe thorough
fare with the assistance of his crutches as
the genial old fellow is lame, dressed in an
old suit of gray clothes aud wituout an over
coat. He doesn't wear any overcoat because it
represents an expenditure of money he is not
willing to make. His whole outfit, including
hat and boots, would not command 250 at any
well regulated pawnshop. He is one of the few
stingy millionaires who are perfectly good
natured in their stinginess. He is not cross or
crabbed, bat greets everybody he knows with
the utmost geuiality. die and Siduey Dillon
are very good friends, but neither the argu
ments of Mr. Dillon nor of auyuody else can
spur him on to invest money in a wardrobe
The story is told of his seeing a friend on tile
street not long ago in conversation with a gen
tleman whwn ue did not snow. He went up to
the two men aud was about to sp ak, when the
man who was a stianger to him turned and
said lie was very sorry but lie had no small
cha ge. Tli" friend explained the situation
although be was some*- at embarrassed, and
the. stranger extended profuse apologies to the
millionaire whom he had mistaken for a
beggar.
