as fictiou: “In

A Strange Coincidence.
Friday’s issue of the New York
World contained notices of two
deaths which occurred Wednesday,
one of John Wilmot, 81 years of
age, who died at his residence in
New York city, the other of Samuel
Wilmot, 77 years of ago, who died
at his home in Newcastle. Canada.
The two men were brothers, and
both died of the same disease at
the same hour of the same day,
after having “ been taken ill on tire
same day. , It is . related, . , , further, ,
that the twe specialists w ho treat
ed them, although widely sepa
rated, u?ed precisely the same
treatment.
As John Wilmot’s son left the
house Wednesday to telegraph to
the family in Canada, a telegraph
messenger came up the steps bear
ing the news of the death of the
other Wilmot in Canada.
A strange coincidence!
Whuf Differences of Opinion!
Since Andrew Carnagie, t h e
multi-millionaire, gave utterance
to the declaration that, “he who
dies rich dies disgraced,” he has
been the recipient of vast amounts
of free advertising. The poor peo-
pie and the papers have run wild
over him because that is a senti
ment which by inference would
seem to give us glory—transpose
it and it ready, “he who dies poor,
dies honored!” This inference is
what makes it so “taking” with
the vast majority of us.
To put himself in position to
avoid the penalty he pronounces
upon those who dies rich (that of
“disgrace”), Mr. Carnagie expects
at some future date to dispose of
Ins $200,000,000 to worthy causes,
and it is said that a great many of
his admirers are offering as sacri¬
fices for him to unload part of his
wealth upon—the more of it, the
.better. But the old gentleman is
not ready to go into the disburse¬
ment business in dead earnest yet,
and has given notice that none
others need apply. Remembering
that he has such a pile of wealth,
we would suggest to Mr. Carnagie
that if he really does intend to
give away all of it (which he prob
ably will not do) he had better
shuck his coat and proceed to
business.
On this question it is said that
there are a great many rich men
who desire to take issue with Mr.
Carnagie as to the disgrace of
dying rich. Mr. Russell Sage is
one of these dissenters. He doesn’t
think it is to the struggling mans
interest for men of large affairs to
retire from business. He con
tinues in business himself, not to
make more money but to protect
that which he has already made,
which he regards as a duty he
owes to the world; and in keeping
together that property he contends
that he protects the public wel
tare as well as sets a valuable ex
ample for the struggling young
men of teday! Great philanthro¬
pist, Mr. Sage! Walk up to-the
head of your class—-no one else
would have thought of anything
so noble.
About three years ago there was
a story floating around to the
effect that Philanthropist Sage
(referred to above) had loaned a
brother’s son $300 and took a
mortgage on his , . little farm to
secure the debt; and after a few
years of hard work the young man
died, whereupon old man Russell
took the farm and turned the
widow and three small children
out upon the cold charities of the
world! This picture at tbe time
was thought to be overdrawn, but
it is about iu keeping with Mr.
Sage’s recent utterances—it is
about the philanthropy he believes
in.
After comparing Mr. Carnagie
and Mr. Sage, one is emstrained
to remark, “What differences ot
opinion!”

Lake City Wants Postmaster.
-
Since tiie assassination of the
negro postmaster, Baker, at Lake
City, S. C., over a year ago, the
town has been without a postmas
ter. Reoeated appeals have been
made by the people of the town,
for the reopening of the office, but
the department has persistently
refused to do so until some of the
participants in the Baker lynching
should haze been punished,
The nearest postoffice to Lake
City is over three miles away, and
the people have to send that dis
tance for their mail. It is a great
inconvenience to the business 111 -
terests of the town, as the people
are not even allowed to mail let¬
ters on mail trains, the boxes
being kept closed by older of the
depaitmeut while passing that
place. The people have endured
this hardship as long as seems to
be reasonable, and are again mak¬
ing an effort to secure the re-es
tablishment of the office. Repre¬
sentative Norton, of that state,
held an interview with the presi¬
dent this week when the matter
was thoroughly gone over. The
president was apparently strongly
impressed by the plea made, and
promised to give the matter his
attention. One of the difficulties
in setting this troublesome case is
the selection cf a new postmaster.
It appears thas there are no white
republicans in Lake City, and it is
not deemed advisable to appoint
another colored postmaster there.
It has been suggested that the
problem might be solved by the
appointment of a white conserva¬
tive democrat, Rev. Dr. Curtin, a
white Methodist preacher. At the
suggestion of friends, Dr. Curtin
has filed an applicant for the ap¬
pointment. It remains to be seen
whether the administration is
willing to treat the subject from a
non-partisan standpoint and thus
pu„ an end to the Lake City con¬
tention.
M hen it comes to keeping up
an everlasting little stink, the Cu¬
ban “patriots” are the boys to do
it. Now they are refusing to come
up and receive the $75 from Un
cle Sam because he demands that
the y lay down their arms before
the money is paid over ’that is
all right, though; if they would
rather keep their old rifles than to
take the $75, why not let them
do it?
