rtlCH BECAUSE SHE WAS KINET.
Jennie Rrnun Heiress tb S4^,000 foi
Befriending; an Old Man.
For befriending an apparently friend-
less old man Miss Jennie Brown, a fac-
tory girl of Binghamton, N. Y.. lias
been made an heiress. William Brown
was % resident of Newark, N. J., and
recently his wife died leaving him
alone except for three sisters and his
distant relative, .Jennie. He was ap-
parently in indigent circumstances and
was coldly received by the sisters. Jen-
nie, however, pitied Uie old nyin's for;
lorn situation, and did all she could to
make life as comfortable as possible for
him. The sisters smiled, but did not ob-
ject and when at last the old gentle-
man died little interest was shown in
the event. After the funeral, however,
an attorney announced that Mr. Brown
had left a will. This caused a sensation,
as his relatives supposed he had noth-
ing to leave. None was more astonished
than Miss Jennie, and her surprise was
overwhelming when it was announced
that she was the sole heir to $45,000,
which Brown had accumulated without
'etting any one know it.

Notice—Several influential dowagers
have combined together to charter the
steamship Frisco, 6,000 tons, for the
purpose of conveying a cargo of disap-
* pointed British girls to America, with
a view of disposing of them advantag-
eously in the states. Attention is earn-
estly requested to the circumstance
that presentation at court is desirable,
since importance is attached to this
social formality across the Atlantic,
and ladies who have attended a draw-
ing room may, therefore, be expected
to obtain more satisfactory terms than
those who have not. . The steamship
Frisco, according to present arrange-
ments, will sail from Southampton for
New York on October 15 next. All in-
quiries as to terms, etc., should be ad-
dressed to the secretary, 225 Belgrave
square, S. W. Office hours, 10 a. m. to
G p. m. upon week days; Saturdays,
close at 2 p. m.—London Truth.

CURRENT COMMENT.
From the World of Thought and the
Field of Action.
' The Arizona Populist says: The
freight rate on wall paper from New
York to San Francisco in carloads is
CO cents per hundred pounds. From
same point to Phenix, $3.86 per hun-'
dred. The freight rate on a letter from
New York to San Francisco fs 2 cents.
From same point to Phoenix is 2 cents.
One is under a system of private owner-
ship, the other under public ownership.
The man who is able to ship in car-
loads does it for 400 per cent less than
the poor devil who is not able to do so.
But tht man who buys a million postage
Btamps pays the same rate as the poor
devil who buys one. Awful thing, this
public ownership.

Carlisle's recent speech at Boston
may serve one good purpose. He shows
clearly the administration policy, so
ihat the people may not be mistaken as
to the real position of the money power
as represented by the leaders of the
two old parties. They are for gold
monometallism, without the use of
either greenbacks or silver, all other
currency except gold to be issued by
the banks only. He says gold can only
be obtained by the sale of bonds, still
he wants the greenback destroyed,
which would increase the demand for
gold and .make it difficult for the gov-
ernment to buy gold even with bonds.
The rate of interest would be increased,
as Carlisle sadly "deplores the fact that
"Interest rates are lower than ever be-
fore"—and of course • "idle capital"
Would have an opportunity for "profit-
able investment" in the bonds which
it would be necessary for" the govern-
ment to issue in order to retire the
greenbacks. It mu3t be remembered
that Carlisle is an authorized mouth-
piece of the administration, and that
the administration is the duly recog-
nized American agent of the Roths-
childs—and whatever Carlisle says goes.
...
The New York World, whose real
position on any important question is
unknown, since it has been everything
by turns and nothing long, says: "The
worst sign of the times is the grip the
monopolists are getting on the press-
especially in this neighborhood.
When a man like Prof. Bemis is-de-
nounced as an anarchist, it becomes al-
most dangerous to call for the observ-
ance of the ten commandments." The
World in its policy of being all things
to all men says a little on both sides of
this question, as well as others—but
sometimes tells the truth accidentally,
as it does in this case.

Calvin S. Brice, millionaire senator
from Ohio who was a poor boy and
who had to hustle hard, to got a start
in business, tells how it makes a boy
who was bom poor feel to handle and
control millions:''
"There is no difference between
handling millions and handling cents.
It takes no more exercise of brain pow
er to do great things than to do little
ones. I exercised Just as much thought
on my small operations as I do now on
my large ones, and it was fully as hard
to succeed with the little as the big.
It Is much like driving a ha-se. You
may drive one \\rortb $100 or one worth
$100,000. It makes no more muscle nor
care tn drive one than the other."
And here the capitalistic prqes has
been*telling us poor clodhoppers, that
it requires brains to become a million-
aire. Guess ther mean gall.

Lansing, Mich., Special: Mrs. Sarah
E. V. Emery, who had a national repu-
tation m a popallat and reform •paaktr,
died here yesterday, aged 57. She was
the author of "The Seven Financial
Conspiracies," which reached a sale of
350,000 copies, largely in the west, and
"Imperialism in America," with a sale
of 40,000 copies. She was a pioneer in
"Greenbackism," and has followed all
the different organizations of kindred
nature through their history. At the
time of her death she was a member of
the state populist committee and presi-
dent of the department of labor and
capital of the National Woman's
Temperance Union."
...
' Perhaps there is nothing unusual in
the fact, bftt nevertheless we consider
it worthy of note, that the man who had
most to do at the general convention of
the Protestant Episcopal church was J.
Pierpont Morgan. He is also the gen-
tleman who advises President Cleve-
land when to issue bonds, and also "pro-
tects" the United States treasury at the
rate of nine million dollars a protect.
He is called the "financial Bismarck,"
the great central figure around which
the New York financial system re-
volves.. It is but natural that lie
should also control a branch of the
church of Mammon, since there is none
greater than he in the kingdom.
... *
The great toady press makes quite a
sensation of the fact that President
Cleveland was guilty of a "breach of
etiquette" on account of having neg-
lected the time-honored custom of beinj;
present at the opening of the supreme
court, so that those dignitaries might
exchange the usual flatteries and con-
ventionalities. The president was busy
fishing and forgot that the supreme
court was entitled to his august pres-
ence, according to all the traditions and
superstitions of judicial formality. And
yet what should be expected of a presi-
dent who has repudiated the principles
upon which his party was founded,
bonded his country to England, and
brought every departmant of govern-
ment into disgrace by dictating its
whole policy. Why should Grover
trouble himself about a mere formality?
...
The great toady press makes quite a
aesthetical and self-appointed guard-
ians of the race about the possible harm
of the cycle in producing a stooped gen-
eration. I wonder that the great sym-
pathy and solicitude of this class has
not been agitated Into excitement be-
fore, seeing that men bend over plows
and spades and shovels and picks for
eight and ten hours a day, and have
been for centuries. Why has not the
expression of solicitude been spoken for
tailor, for shoemaker, and such callings,
whose whole lives haveobeen in unnat-
ural curvature of the spine? J^o fear of
these producing a generation of stooped
or hump-backed citizens, eh? If the
classes that live idle or uselessly active
lives will get oft the backs of the men
who work, and allow them to have
more hours to stand erect, by doing
their share of producing something, I
think the world can get along with the
Ills of the wheel and be more erect—
and upright—than it now is. There is
much far-fetched anguish in this sud-
den solicitude for the future genera-
tion.—Appeal to Reason.

Apropos to the pugilistic contest agi-
tation, a preacher at Hot Springs pub-
lished the following challenge for a
preaching match to be held in the am-
phitheater immeliately after the pug
contest:
"As I am now informed that the Cor-
bctt-FitzBimmons glove .contest la a
fixed thing for the 21it instant, I would
•unMt that at it* cIom all tbo
mackm ti Hot Bprlaga mo tfeo
amphitheater for a prize preaching con-
test. The preacher preaching the
closest and nearest to Jesus Christ to
carry off the stakes. Plebian as I am, I
will preach against any or all of them.
The pugilists, their managers and ref-
eree may act as judges. I would ask no
prize money for myself, but would
freely put up $25 to have the clerical
mill go off with these assumed vice-re-
gents of the humble, unlettered Naza-
rene. But no doubt they are all too
cowardly to give it a serious thought.
"THOMAS COOK."
This suggests the idea that if all the
preachers of the country would do a
little more preaching, according to the
Vules of Jesus of Nazareth, pugilism
would soon lose its popularity.

In the Raleigh, N. C., silver conven-
tion the following resolution proposed
is the one that met the greatest opposi-
tion from the democrats:
"To this end we earnestly recom-
mend to the voters that hereafter they
elect only such senators and representa-
tives in congress as are sincerely in
favor of the principles hereinbefore ex-
pressed and only such presidential
electors as will publicly declare on the
stump that they will vote for no man
for president or vice-president who is
not in favor of such principles, and
whose record and platform are guaran-
tees that they will be faithfully execut-
ed."
The silver men In the old parties are
great on talk, but when it comes to
pledging themselves to vote for silver
that is different.
...
Dr. Parkliurst, the preacher purifier
of municipal politics, is opposed to dick-
ering for the support of opposing parti-
sans. From the standpoint of the in-
dependent party in New York, ho says:
"Gentlemen, there is no wisdom in
our discussing these matters unless we
can meet on one broad and generous
platform and consult together with an
eye that is single to the exigencies of
this city. Some of you are purchasable
by a judgeship; some of you by a city
clerkship; some of you estimate your
tender devotion to this city in terms of
Sunday beer. We are not running a
dickering business, gentlemen. Our
purpose is to deal with men who do not
want to go around tagged with a cost
mark. You will excuse us from further
attempts at mediation. The responsi-
bility of failure would then distinctly
be seen to rest squarely upon the shoul-
ders of politicians."

In commenting on the recent treasury
report showing a surplus for the month
of September, the Batesville Guard
offers the following:
"But the gold reserve is being de-
pleted and the Indications are that an-
other bond Issue may be necessary to
replenish It We shall then have the
remarkable spectacle of a government
whose receipts are larger than its ex-
penditures going heavily In debt to bor-
row gold, In order that the money-gam-
blers of New York may draw it out
again and compel the issue of further
bonds."

The boasted "progress of civilization"
Is cleverly described by a London paper
as follows:
"First comes the 'pioneer' with the
Catling and the gallows; then comes
the 'developer' with the rum bottle and
the Bible; then follows the 'clvllizer'
with the shoddy cotton, the glass beads
and the lecturer on the advantages of
industry; then comes the 'exploiter'
with the steam plow and the heavy
horsewhip; and then the native get* his
note on tbo grlndotono—and keep* it

FAIRMOUNT COLLEGE,
"Wiolaita., Kansas.
LOCATION.
The College is situated on a beautiful eminence in the northeastern part
« f the city of Wichita, sullicient.lt\ removed from the bustle and temptations of
the business center for the best incentives to study: but by means of the wide-
ly-extended system of electric cars, readily accessible from all quarters. The
outlook from the College tower over the city, and the broad rich valley of the
Arkansas, is as tine as any college can boast. The location is also as whole-
some in a sanitary point of view as could 1> ' desired.
