ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE TO ANY ADDRESS FREE. Vin, J03. A. mu'iou, i-j The Otaly Thins; he Possessor of Millions Can Do to Be Isksows. From the Church Standard.

The London Spectator once published a list of it called "obscure millionaires" who had died within the previous Id years. The list was a rather one. This list sets one considering. The age is a shopkeeping age, it is true. It Is apt, we say, notwithstanding the exaggerated Importance of money and money getting, it appears that wealth in the largest measure redeems no man from obscurity; that money In Itself, by its mere possession, confers no distinction which even this age values.

Its use, and not its possession, is all that can make it a matter of distinction. In our own country even more than In Europe wealth exaggerates its own consequence. It is natural that it should, for here, more than there, It is a personal matter. The American millionaire has "made," as he says, his own millions. They represent his own shrewdness, industry, tact, perseverance, or "good luck." He Is fond.

It may be, of reminding us all that it Is so. He is a "feif-made and recurs to the time when he was a barefoot boy, or a penniless youth, with some pride, as a proof of how bright a man he is in having changed by his own now ers the early poverty for the present wealth. He feels in his heart he has done a noble work, and that he deserves the commendation of mankind or doing It. He is liable to dlsanpolntment, as we all know, and It Is somewhat straiige that, shrewd as ha is In money matters, he Is so blind In others. For the rest of the world is very busy has little time to trouble Itself about his success or his failure.

Neither can other people se-e on exactly what grounds a man'can claim its applause only for having taken good care of his own Interests. The consideration given 10 nun iur ma money is given only to' his face by those who expect to get something by It. Tne community would look complacently upon the matter if a sudden revulsion should set him to sweeping the streets to-morrow, would consider him, indeed, quite as Important in the last occupation as In that of raking his heaps higher. In other words it is the wealth Itself that is Important, If there Is anv importance In the case. The man who owns it may be very unimportant; In fact, if Tie Is content toibe merely Its owner.

Is sure to be so. The only way to create distinction with wealth is by its use. What a man does v. i i. j.tumin,, tha niiAinnn Willi WIJUL IIO Una UCiriimir, of his obscurity.

The Longevity of Trees.

From Meehan's Monthly. America does not seem ns favorable to the longevity of treos as muny parts of tne old world. It Is salt that plr.es in the north of Europe are known to have endured for nearly 500 years. In Bavaria there Is a larch which la known to be 225. Many oaks In Germany are known to be over 300 years old, and many over 200 vears.

Of other trees individuals are known that have reached the ages set opposite them: Ann, ITu years; birch, lfiO to 200 years; aspen, 220 years; mountain maple. years; din, 130 years, and red alder, 145 years. In our country there are few that ure more than mere remnants. Most of Bartrnm trees are gone wholly or are fading. The famous cypress has yet few green branches.

The fine silver fir on Johnson estate in Germuntown, which figured In the car-lv issues of the Horilculturtst nnd often elsewhere, Is entirely dead now, though less than 100 years old. Level-Ilendeil I.nnnllc. From the St. Louis Republic. A gentleman was visiting a Scotch lunatic asylum, where new premises were being added.

The inmates were assisting. On seeing one of the latter wheeling a barrow upside down from the building to the stones, the visitor asked him why he wheeled it in that manner. "Oh," said the lunatic, "that's tho best way." The visitor tool; tho harrow, nnd, turning It right side up, said: "That Is the proper wav," "That's a' you Ken," said the lunatic: "I tried it that way, and they tiled it full o' bricks." saying, he trotted on.

This prior to the lifting; of the curtain for the usual morning performance seentral station, Col. Bob Smothers held Jforth to a coterie of interested admirers on the weather. "What fo' dat man in tho gruvment building 1 send us weather like die yar, dat Is what I want to know?" said the colonel. "Dis nipping an' a nlggah air will spoil de peach crop in Delaware and cause man bredren's corns to ache down in ole Virginia, WTien MaJ. McKinley comes to power we'll turn de rascal out." At this moment his honor approached and there was a profound hush, When Magistrate McKenna was seated Lieut Bcott Introduced William Donovan to his honor as a man who had been viola ting the Bunday laws by drinking In a house on Second avenue.

"Didn't you know that was wrong, ill-lam?" said his honor. 'i did sir. hut. I was thirsty and If I done wrong It was that good might come front Jl." "That Is no excuse in your case, when hydrants are so plentiful in tho city." "Do you take me for a hoss, your honor?" "No. but I take you for a confirmed old toper, and will tine you $3 and costs or 10 days to Jail." Cleaveland Again Netted.

James Miller, a Hebrew, was led up smiling by Officer Yeager, but after a short parley with his honor went back to bis cell with his Up dpwn. Miller was invito tn show cause why he should not divorce himself from some garments he formed an attachment to in tjrowiey no-tel. He picked up a coat belonging to Henry Myers, and the balance of what he required to make himself presentable was tne property of Charles Brown. He took the clothing the latter to another hntl wlfore he wss arrested. Brown's coat was 'found hidden In his bed at Crow ley's hotel, where he intended to return What did you do it for?" said his honor.

"Everything was my own and I took the package to the house with me." "What explanation can you give for Brown's name being on the "I'm a working man and know nothing about that, your honor." "How long have you Doen in me cuyt "Two days. I came to look for work, but work is bad here." "I should say yours Is," remarked his honor. Hold him over until Brown can appear against him. Dick Cleaveland, an alleged newspaper agent not unknown to fame and the po lice, was plioteu to tne iront oy ueiecuvo McTlghe. Iast night Cleaveland was.

arrested at the' house of Mrs. Woods, 107 Third avenue, and charged with being a suspicious person. Cleaveland la connected with objectionable Chicago publication? and the police have tried In vain to make htm leave the city. He was fined $50 and costs last Wednesday, but the lesson did not prove a warning. "Young man, I think I have met you before?" snkl his honor.

Cleaveland nodded aequlesence, but mado no remark. At this point Attorney Roddy Marshall stepped up and inquired what offense the prisoner was charged with. 1 '0111 Walk Out a Dead Mon av Yez Do." i don't think that constitutes a sus picious person," said Attorney Marshall ufter the matter was explained to him. To come under that charge a man must have no visible? means of support." Attorney, I beg to differ with you there," said his honor. "A man may have means at support and yet be a suspicious person.

You must admit that If you were fuuiiht In a ladv's boudoir like the pris oner here, the circumstances would appear very suspicious. The attorney blushed and said his honor was right. "Young man, you can go," said his honor, "but if you get caught again It wMI not be well with ycu." Mike Paradine, with the tears streaming from his eyes, was led to the bar by Officer Yrsger. "Officer, what Is this man charged "Vagrancy, your honor." "Are vou "crying because you can't betted your condition?" to the prisoner. "Faith, no, your honor; it's because 01 got caught." "He was drunk on Eleventh street and sleeping In a barrel," raid the officer.

"Bore" It's the f.rpt time In three years, an' 01 hone yer honor will look over this wan offense, wailed the prisoner. "Arrah, now, yer honor, won't yclet me go an' Olil take the pledge for 18 months. "You have lied to me, and I mean to punish you severely for It. Six months will about fit your offense." "farra a bit yer honor menns that. 01 wud walk out ov the workhouse a dead man." "He Was Fighting With His Shadder." "Takehim back, and htm 3 hours to straighten up then." Paradine was talc-en away, rubbing both yes with hi knuckles.

John W. Simms, a man of ebony hue, was next trotted up by Officer Hughe. Simms was charged with making it very disagreeable for Mrs. Bertha Duman, his landlady, at 220 Webster avenue, last right. "Mrs.

Duman state what the prisoner did to vou," said his honor. "He Is" a roomah at man house, sah." "If that Is all he Is charged with, I'll rilsmlRK the case.

He walked Into a Fifth avenue house-decorating establishment one day last week and gazed, In a bewildered way, at the hangings, tha stamped leather and the antique furniture. "That's the dentist's chair, I s'pose," he said, pointing to a lot of four-legged furniture over in a corner.

"Style of Louis Katcrze," replied tha nice young clerk, as ha put nn extra touch to his very proper string tie. "Don't ker what style, young nan," replied the man with the made-up necic pcarf.

A notable feature In railway travel during the past three weeks. In fact, for over a month back, has been the scarcity of railroad accidents. This is especially true of the roads' in western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio. When the great Increase In passenger travel, brought about by the demand for special trains to Canton, Is taken Into consideration it Is es-peclall notiocable. There has not been a day for over a month that the roads running Into Canton have not had from throe to half a doaen special trains of from to 12 coaches running to" the mecca of the republican, party.

With the running of all these sneeiat trains, as well as the great number of Tegular trains, there has not an accident occurred. It Is the putting on of a. special train that makes the running of the regulars more hazardous, and yet no accidents have been reported. On last Saturday, with 21 extra trains running over Its different divisions, the Pennsylvania pulled through the day without a scratch. All this Is due to the carefulness with which trains art handled nowadays and the excellent shape In which both rolling stock and roadbeds are kept.

It has been the prldo of this company that the record haB been such, and aa the time draws nearer for ttie election the number of trains will grow larger, thus making it more necessary for care to be exercised. Another fact that makes this record more wonderful Is that most of these special trains have made record-breaking time, and in every case have run on faster echtdules than even the express trains on the road. The running of a Hpeclal Is usually trusted to men well tried In tho service of the road, from the engineer to the rear brake-man, ar.d even the operators who have the directing of the trains over the wires. When such facts as these are taken Into consideration the record of these roads Is a feature that should not be overlooked. The resignation of Gen.

Horace Porter ns vice-president; of the Pullman palace car eompahy was announced Saturday. Gen. Porter's action is occasioned by his election as chairman of the board of directors of the reorganized St. Louis San Francisco 'road, and while no action has vet been taken by the Pullman directors, It is believed that the resignation will be acted upon at the board's next meeting. Gen.

Porter has been vice-president of the Pullman company for nearly years, and has bad charge that company's office In New York city. It is eald that the Pullman company may close its New York office, but It Is claimed the proposed step has no bearing on Porter's resignation. A mass meeting of the Southern states passenger association and the Central passenger committee has been called for on October 1. This meeting will be held at the Gault house, Louisville; and will be for the purpose of considering the tourist rates for the winter to the south. Some time ago such a meeting was suggested, and acting upon this suggestion the meeting was called Saturday.

Immediately after this meeting of the general passenger agents of the roads interested the rate clerks of the several roads will convene and arrange the winter schedule of rates. There Is a general feel-lna- that travel to the south this winter will be better than any previous winter, as already many of the resort hotels in the south have received inquiries and bookings for the winter months. Almost all the southern roads have made many 7.50 UP TO S35.00. Improvements In their service with an Increased traffic In view. Among them notably being the Queen Crescent route and the new acquisition of the Illinois Central.

The following recommendations have been made bv the board of managers of the Joint Traffic association: "Effective on legal notice, the withdrawal of rail and lake class rates authorized by Joint Traffic association freight circular No. 202 from Whellng, W. and Bellalre. to Buffalo, N. via Cleveland and lake, on the basis of the following differentials below the authorized all-rail rates; Per 100 pounds, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1 cents on the six "That the effective date of Joint Traffic association freight circular No.

S23, withdrawal of commodity rates on paper, straw-board and wood pulp board be postponed until further notice." Harry Pollltt, superintendent of motive power of the Manchester Lincolnshire railwav, of England, accompanied by his chief assistant, P. McClure, arrived In New York cltv Friday. Supt. Pollltt was met at the pier by O. S.

Cockey, general agent of the Grand Trunk. It is the Intention of the English railway official and his aeslstant to make a thorough tour of inspection In this country over the principal lines of the United States and Canada, with a view of noting all. Improvements in the railway world that car be put to use In his own country. The party will visit Pittsburg later in the month. Although his arrival In this country Is so recent the two are very favorably lm-prosaed with the way Americans handle their roads.

Thursday will be another banner-day at Canton. On that date the Pennsylvania railroad will run three special trains from Westmoreland county and the Pittsburg Lake Erie will start three from off Its Monongahela diviFion. The Lake Erie trains will start from Wrest Newton and pick up all along the division the enthusiastic sound money men who are anxious to go. This week will witness the starting of the machinery of the executive department of the Pennsylvania lines.
