They Keep Quiet as a Matter of Self- | noe boastful braggarts, suddenly over- taken with wealth, somet:mes become note i for their quiet, retiring manners. A multi- criticised for his extravagan= wife is caricatured; if he does not sub- and his WHERE WATER IS WATER. Defense. From the New York Evening Post. In the popular imagination the very rich Wan occupies a pecullar position. Every one would like tc be very rich, for the pos- session of a million, or, not to be too primi- tive, let us say two millions, represents in- dependence, freedom from toil, a life of if not pleasure, opportunities for one’s self felt, or for benefiting fellows, or carrying out long-cherish- €d schemes of some sort. Yet the very peo- ple who long for wealth picture those who possess it in a very different light. In pro- portion to their distance from the world of the very rich ts their ignorance of it; and much as the man in moderate circum- stances may long for wealth, he never fails to misrepresent to himself the result of possessing it, while among the poor the very rich man ts gradually coming to be looked upon as a sort of public enemy who Becomes richer and richer, while the rest of the world grows poorer and poorer. Ex- plain to them as much as you will that this is not a fact; that the very rich are so few in number that their wealth divided among their fellows would make no one apprecia- bly richer, or that all great fortunes are very soon broken up, or that the poor are improving their condition quite as steadily and surely as the rich, what you say mak no impression. To be rich is every man’s dream. To be poor is to suffer that others may wax fat and kick. ‘The very rich man of real life is, for a variety of reasons, difficult to descril oO that the picture will seem fair. His larity is that he has so few typical pe- cullarities. He is neither necessarily lav- ish, nor loud, nor noisy, nor fond of self- assertion. Though he may, of course, be one, or all, of these, he is just as apt to be @ rather quiet man, whom you would pass im a crowd without thinking twice about lum. Inexpefienced persons sometimes, hearing that one of the very rich is near them, try to pick him out—almost always vrsuccess: , because they inevitably think he must be a noticeable is off, is often to seber and ehasten. Even x millionaire may spend a whole evening without letting the cat out of the bag. On the other hand, he may make the room echo with his boasts; but in this case it al- most always turns out that he is some- thing else besides a very rich man-—a phil- anthropist, or a corruptionist, or a jour- nalist, perhaps. Our remarks are intended to be confined to those who are merely very rich. Their aim seems to be as often as not to render themselves in dress and manners and speech indistinguishabie. No doubt this comes in part from the fact that they do not feel sure of their sccial position, and this is necessarily the case with all the wealthy whose position has come to them solely through their wealth; but this does not apply to the sec- ord generation, who almost always go to cellege, and mingle more or less in the so- cial world. Why are they so quiet in gen- eral society? We are inclined to attribute it to a good motive—the instinct of self-de- ferse. They know that they are surroand- ed by enemies, by blackmailers who want an opportunity for blackmail, by philan- thropists who want their money for chari- ty, by sturdy social beggars who want it for themselves. If they tell a family anec- dote, they will probably see it in print within a week; if they express an interest in Crete, their next day's correspond- ence will contain a request for a “nice check” to help the poor Cretans; if they express their dissatisfaction with a legis: lative measure, they hear at once ‘rom the “old man,” or one of his friends. Which- ever way they turn, they are marked ren. For men in their position to escape atten- tion is to escape spoliation. Self-preserva- tion is the first law of nature. The law is not made any easier for them on account of their wealth. The taxes fall upon them with equal weight, so far as houses and lands are concerned, and though they may be “let off” a little as their stocks and bonds, this Js not owing to the law, but through the cleverness of some attorney whom they must quietly re- tain and pay for the work. The law is al- ways on the alert. scribe liberally to public objects, he is held up to public reprobation as u miser; if he is so unlucky as not to get into a club, the fact is advertised as if he had been de- feated in an election to Congress, and any objections to his life and coaversation, or to his personal appearance which may have affected the result, are bawlsd cut undet the head of “club news.” The result of the dangers which threaten, and the jealousy and suspicion which sur- reund him, is that in the end he js very far from daring to be the arrogant, purse- proud creature he is painted by the popular imagination. So far from being haughty, he has seldom even the high spirits and pcwer of enjoyment that ought to go with wealth, Indeed, the millionaire as we kucw him is generally a quiet, reserved man, who rarely expresses an opinion except about the tires of bicycles, or the weather, or the best places to buy shoes und undercloth- ing, aud evidently shriaks from advancing views which, however mistaken, he may be called upon to support with cash. The very rich American, in short, is apt to be embarrassed. His tastes are still more or less those of a primitive, semi- rural community, founded upon equality, managed under democratic forms, in whick rank and title and etiquette do not exist, yet this social organization, which was ip Its full flower a generation ago, ©; sub- merged by a neW civilization, of which he is the head, which is not arranged for him or prepared to receive him, and of which he is at once the boast and the butt. He is the victim of a social order which he repre- sents but does not understand. He knows that he 1s one of the great of the earth, but does not know how to manage it all. It has to be managed for him by private sec- retarles, and “‘major-domos,” and ahove al} by his wife and ch‘ldren, who make him build”a house as big as a hospital on a two-acre lot, and entertain “house parties’ of young people whose uames he does rot know. Quiet is the role of such a m: and quiet he generally is. In his‘own eat he may find relief and momentary solace ip ber about his liquors and cigars, or stocks, but when he. goes abroad among those who would give their eyes to change places with him, one idea is often te | “Went” ads. in The Star pay because they bring answers, - : 3 There is Not Enough of It to Make Clean Linen an Everyday Comfort. From the Oregonian. A. B. Ellis, while on a visit to Ascension Island, met an old friend, who shook hands, reached down a coat from a.peg and put it on, saying: “Excuse my not putting on a shirt, will you?” “Of course, of course,” replied Mr. Ellis. “Take off more of your clothes if you'll feel more comfortable.” “N—no; it’s not that, butotbe fact is I haven't a shirt clean enough to put on.” Mr. Ellis could not murmur his surprise at this strange circumstance and endeavor- ed to look sympathetic. The -friend con- tinued: “I dare say you think ft odd that I don’t have them washed?” Mr. Ellis, hardly knowing, what to say, inquired, “Why don’t you?" 1D The friend unfolded a horr! ‘ale, to the effect that the water suppl the island consisted principally of wha! distilled by a condenser, a small quai being ob- tained from Dampier’s drips Brandreth wells; that water was ali "80 scarce that it was served out like a ration of rum, only more sparingly, the allowayce in pros- perous times being two gallpag’a day per man. When clothes were sent to the wash, the water for washing them had'to’ be sent with them. But the condensé¥ #t that time had been out of order for some nine or ten days, and everybody on the isiqtid had been put on short allowance, so that they had not enough for drinking, mich less for washing either themselves or their clothes. A Series of Coincidences: From the Medical Journal.

The climate which covered this world was, of course, somewhat different from the present. It was colder, and the pre- cipitation was greater, but the existence of certain plants shows that a compara- tively temperate climate prevailed to the south of the ice; yet it was anomalous. Animals which loved the cold and those of a torrid land were curiously mingled. Troops cf mastodons wandered over the land and gorged themselves on the soft twigs of spruce and fir. The slow, lumber- ing, woolly rhinoceros wallowed in the muddy streams and lakes.

Mrs. McKinley, in graceful recognition of her erjcyment of the entertainmert given for her by the Yale Glee, Mandolin and Banjc clubs at the White House last Monday, sent to the clubs a beautiful basket of tuips, which the young gentl. men treasured as the proudest trophy of their stay in Washington.

Argument in the Action of the Johm Hopkins University. Argument was begun yesterday morning in the United States circuit court at Balti- more in the sult of the Johns Hopkins University against the receivers of the Bal- timore and Ohio Railway Company, in which it is sought to establish that the 6 per cent dividend on the preferred stock of the company is a prior lien over all other outstanding obligations. The total issue of preferred stock is $3,000,000, of which Johns Hopkins Univer- sity holds about $1,000,000, and from the income upon this stock it is largely de- pendent for its existence. The contention of the plaintiff is that as this preferred stock was originally issued to the state of Maryland as part of the educational fund, it takes precedence over all securities is- sued thereafter. The receivers, upon the other hand, contend that the preferred stock takes precedence in the matter of dividends over nothing but the common stock, and that the holders of it get noth- ing unless the earnings of the company justify its payment, ‘The case is to be submitted upon an agreed statement of fact embodying these points, and it is thought that at least two, and possibly three, days will be consumed in the argument. An imposing array of local legal talent will take part in the dis- cussion, aided by James C. Carter of New ‘Wm. C. Demming, also of that city, and John G. Johnston of Philadelphia. United States Circuit Judge Goff and United States District Judge Morris are hearing the case. ———+ee______ Pensi Office Changes. Capt. James R.
