Roff Receives a Very Agreeable Burprise, ROFF'S SERVICE HAS BEEN APPRECIATED Tle Has Been Promoted to Be Commercia Agent of the Rock lsland Company ~A Vindication of the Charges Mado Against Him, J. A. Roft, formerly local freight agent of the Rock Island, received a telegram from thoe headquarters of the company in Chicago yesterday afternoon, the contenty of which will be a sourceof pleasure to all of his friends in this city, as it cortainly was to him. The checking up of the books after the shortage in Cashier J. P. Christianson’s books was discovered has been completed and the results were telegraphed to Chicago. Yesterday a reply came, stating that Mr. George H. Denton would occupy the position of local freight agent in place of Mr. Rof, and that the latter would be promoted to the position of commercial agent. ‘The position of commerc agent is a new one, and was created especially for-Mr. Roff. Tts duties will call him out among the business men ot the city, instead of keeping him cooped up in the little offico 1n the southern part of the city as before. His business will be to work vp trade for the road, and the growth of business the Rock Tsland has seen during the past few years is a sufficient in- dication of his qualifications for the place. The dry details of the oftice will be taken oft his hands and the outside work which wili fall upon his shoulders is much more to his liking, Mr. Roff has been wishing for this kind of A windfail for years, and now that it has come he Is elated, as he has & right to ve. The work is more agreeable and the pay is better, two considerations which are, of course, highly satisfactory. But the best part of the promotion, as he looks at it, is the fact that the company in_making it com- pletely exonerates him from “ali charges of crookedness that have been made against him. Whatever was wrong with the books has been credited up to his underling, where it belongs, and the charges which are made by the underling have been fully investi- gated. The factof the promotion teils, in a far clearer manner than words could, just what the oficials of the company thought of M. Roff's way of doing business. 2 Beautifal Evening on Manawa. Old timers who have seen Lake Manawa inall of its phases of beauty, when reflect- ing the smiles of a perfect sky or lashed in fury by a storm, agree that they never saw the lake so beautiful as it was last night just before and after sunset. The surfaco was as amooth and polished as n mirror. and magni- fied in reflecting the rich coloring of sky and cloud. Tho only thing that broko the glassy surface was the ripple of a passing boat or the graceful gliding of a train of stately pel- icans that had stopped to refresh them- selves on their voyage around the wor There were many people to enjoy the perfect beauty of the scene, an d those who had a_spark of artistic instinct in their souls felt it stirred as it had never been stirred before. When the shadows grew denser and obscured all but the bolder outlines of the lake shores. songs and music froma dozon boating parties added a new charm, and there was nothing wanting to makea picture that appealed to the botter elements in the human composition. There wero several carriago and tallyho parties from Omaha, including A. S. Potter and friends, who thoroughly enjoyed the evening. “There will be band music at the lake this evening, bosides the other usual attractions, and if vhe conditions are anyways nearly as favorable as they were last night an hour or two at the lake will afford exquisite enjoy ment. Womnn's Leilef Corps. The local branch of the Woman's Relief corps held a special meeting yesterday afternoon in the Grand Army hall for the purpose of meeting Mrs. E. Flora Evans of Clinton, the president of the idepartment of Towa. The excellenco of the showing made by the Woman's Relief corps in this city led Mrs. Evans to select it to exemplify the work of the order at the state convention which is to be held here next year. It is an honor of which the ladies'are justly proud,and to which the high character of the work they have done during the im few years amply ontitles them. Inmaking her address Mrs. Evans made some remarks which were of great in- terest to thosae present. In speaking of the work of the order she said: “Our order now numbers 130,789, an in- crease of 13,218 during the past ) ing the year money has been turned over to the posts amounting to §34,138; $61,403 have been expended for reliof, and the 'clothing and other articles which have been turned over to the needy have amounted to §33,041. In 1883 forty charter members knocked at the door of the Grand Army of the Republic and asked to be admitted ns their auxiliary.

Bennett, manager of the office of the Western lowa Insurance Inspection bureau, has issued a circular to all the companies doing business in this vicinity authorizing a raise in fire insurance rates of 20 per cent, commenciug Ammediately, Accompanying the order is a circular giving the reasouns for this action. It states that the losses and ex- peuses for the various companles for the last four years ending December 81, 1802, have amounted to $4i7,496,720, while the gross receipts have only been $482,057,818, which leaves a net loss of #5.686.907 on the four years business. Thus, according to these figures, the fire insurauce companies have been doing busiuess at 2 per cent less than theactual cost, which accounts for the fail- ure of one company every week, on the average. Mr. Bonuett attributes the in- crease in the number of fires W the use of electricity, gasoline stoves and other modern improvements, and thinks the increase of risk demands a corresponding increase in the rates of insurance.

Missount Varney, Ia., Aug. 4.—[Special to Tue Bre)—A gang of seven bums were arrested last evening and today had a pre- liminary examination before the mayor ana were bound over under £00 bonds to appear at the next term of district court. In de- fault of bonds they went to the county jail. This city has been a gathering point for the distressed laborers from Colorado, and the town has fed, at different times, several hundred, which has attracted a large num- ber of professional bums, to which those bound over certainl; belong. They were charged with committing larceny by taking a case of shoes from the store of John Caley, and were captured with a few pairs in their possession, Property Owners Pressed for Fands. Stovx Crry, Aug. 4.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.]—Many large property owners in this portion of the state are not going to be able to meet their taxes due September 1, and which default October 1, on account of the financial stringency. County treasurers are uniting in an effort fo tide them over by securing permission from state officers to issue receipts to them and take in return bonds for the amount of the taxes due April 1, 184, which, if not taken then, shall be tax lien upon’ the property. It is thought this will tide them over the hard times. Arrested the Assistant Matron.

It is believed the girl inflicted “the punishment on herself to es- cape from school. Pomeroy’s Tornado Insurance. Foxr Dovge, Ta., Aug. 4.—[Special Tele- gram to Tiie Bee.]—The tornado insurance at cyclone-stricken Pomeroy has fallen much below the figures of the firsy estimate. The insurance on the claims flled up to the pres- ent, aggregatiug over 100 individual amounts to only $21,667.40.

The Chemical Compounds of an Averago Voter Are Vulued nt $18,300, An interesting exhibit at the National museum shows the physical ingredients which go to make up the average man, weighing 154 pounds, says the American Analyist. A large glass jar hoids the ninety-six pounds of water which his body contains. Inother receptacles are three pounds of white of egg, & little less than ten pounds of pure glue—without which it would be impossible to keep body and soul together—43t pounds of fat, 8% pounds of phosphate of lime, 1 pound of carbonate of lime, 3 ounces of sugar and starch, 7 ounces of fluoride of calcium, 6 ounces of phosphate of magnesia and a little ordinary table salt. Divided up into his primary chemical elements the same man is found to contain 97 pounds of oxygen—enough to take up, under ordinary atmospheric pressure, the space of a room 10 feet long, 10 feet wide and 10 feet high. His body also holds 15 pounds of hydrogen, which, un- der the same conditions, would occupy somewhat more than two such rooms as that described. . To these must be added 3 pounds and 13 ounces of nitrogen. The carbon in the corpus of the individual reforred to is represented by a cubic foot of coal. It ought to be a diamond of the same size, because the stone is Rure carbon, but the National museum as not such a one in its possession. A row of bottles contain the other elements going to make up the man. These are 4 ounces of chlorine, 3% ounces of fluor- ine, 8 ounces of phosphorus, 3t ounces of brimstone, 24 ounces of sodium, 24 ounces of potassium, one-tenth of an ounce of iron, 2 ounces of magnesium, and 3 pounds and 13 ounces of' calcium. Cal- cium at present market rates is worth $300 an ounce, so that the amount of it contained inone ordinary human body has a money value of $18,300. Few of our fellow citizens realize that they are worth so much intrinsically. —_—— ENDED IN A MURDER. Tragic Conclusion of a Negro Celebration in Indian Territory. CorrexviLLE, Kan., Aug, 4.—The celobra- tlon by negroes of Independence day, which took place at Goose Neck Bend, L T, todsy, resulted in starting a race war between the whites and blacks. eat crowds of nogroes were present at the celebration and many white people attended ar spectators. Among- the latter wus James Singleton, with whom John Van (colored) ' had & long-standing quarrel. When the two men today met the quarrel was renewed and Van struck Singleton over the head with a revolver. Singleton’s son, & young man 21 years of age, went to his * father's rescue and shot and killed Van. The ne- groes at once declared a war of ex- termination against the whites and were about to begin hostilities when Deputy United States Marshal Bruner gathe. 3 posse aud kept the whites aud blacks sep- arated. Bruner arrested young Singleton and took him to Fort Smith, Ark., for safe keeping. 'The posse, in the meantime, kept the ‘l:luziuu. apart and hostilities were frus- trated. —— Choctaws Agauin Respited.

LOLDEN QUEEN Obarms of Hufl:j ma.m and Dowered with Millions, THE SOCIAL DEBUT OF HELEN GOULD COTHA'S A Coming Event ta Whieh New York So- clety Is Interested—The Unwasaming Young Woman Whose KFortone Is Estimated at 15,000,000, Among the many social debuts that will take place in New York during the coming winter the one that will excite the most interest is vhatof Helen M. Gould, only daughter of the great financier and his favorite among all his ehildven, The entrance into society of this young woman is likely to be accompanied by not a little stir and comment. Miss Gould has passed the age when young women are as a rule introduced to the social world in a formal way. She is no longer a young girl in the strict sense of the word, for in the matter of years she is very fairly into the twenties and is grave and womanly beyond her years. She will represent $15,000,000 or more of her own, all good hard cash, or, what is as good, railroad securities whose tendency is ever upward, and property that is always increasing in value. She owns the splendid Fifth avenue resi- dence ler father so long occupied, and the great mansion at Irvington-on-the- Hudson, where the Gould family spent the summer, These great properties are the exclusive possession of Miss Gould, and they are gorgeously and completely furnished throughout. To- gether they are worth quite $1,500,000, So, while Jay Gould in his lifetime had many and fierce critics,and although that sometimes nebulous element known as the best society rather looked down on the famous money maker, there is no likelihood that his daughter will be cavilled at unlessit be by ambitious matrons with young daughters of their own in the market for disposal to the highest legitimate bidde. Miss Tielen Gould is not strikingly handsome, but she is very sweet and womanly in her manner. She need not fear that she will become a languishing wallflower in the ball and reception rooms that she will figure in during the social season now drawing near. Her recommendations to favor are too many and too weighty. But as for fortune hunters, they may as well keep their distance. Along with her mother’s amiability and sweotness of character she hasmuch of her father’s keenness and strong common sense. Hence, while she willbe a bud worth the plucking, the man who would per- form that feat must look well to him- self, for he will have no gushing damsel to deal with. Few young women who figure or rea soon to figure in New York's social whirl are so little known as is Helen Gould. Even the leaders in the circles where she is to enter donot_know the young woman well. They know, to be sure, that she is the daughter of the late Jay Gould, that she is said to be a good and charming girl and that she is enor- mously rich. Their fund of information runs out at this point, and they are wait- ing with some curlosity to add to it by means of personal observation. The social debut of Miss Gould has been delayed considerably beyond the time that it would have been made by the deaths of her father'and mothe There was never a daughter more de- voted to her mother than was Helen Gould to hers during the latter’s de- clining years. The two were very like in temperament, and their constant com- panionship made the daughter the coun- terpart of her mother in disposition and manners—a result that was good for the young girl, for while the wife of Jay Gould never figured in society, but always shrank from so doing, sho was none the less & superior woman in many ways. The death of this mother threw the young girl upon her own resources. She could not enter into society, and, indeed, had no h to do so. Instead she de- voted herself to her father, who had be- come partly an invalid, and up to the time 0} his death she was his mainstay and his solace in his hours of suffering and sickness. And 30 it is that Miss Gould will enter into society a comparative stranger to its members. Those who know Helen Gould give evi- dence that she is attractive both in ap- pearance and manners. Rather retiring and unassuming, she still has that power to charm that marks some young women of more than ordinarily quiet demeanor. She is not what would be called a beau- tiful woman, but she is a handsome one taken from either a man’s or a woman's point of view. Of medium height, Miss Gould is a bruuette, but not a very pronounced one. Her hair is dark, but not of the inky blackness that marked her father’s hair und beard, and her eyes are of the unde- finable shade that is neither dark nor brown, but that seems to change and alternate. Her features are strong with- out the hard lines that were worn into her father's face, and they are further softened by the sweeter and more amiable traits that came to her from her mother—not strictly beautiful, as has been said, but still a woman whose face would command more than a passing glance no matter where seen. She is of graceful figure and the walk of one used to pedestrian exercise. Such is the greatest heiress in America as she is seen today. Miss Gould’s name has rarely, if aver appeared in those papers that assume to serve up the small beer of New York so- ciety to those who like that sort of thing. Nor do you often see it in the great dailies, : J3ut when you do it is al- ways connected with some act of benevo- lence that has been performed so quiotly that even the ‘keen-eyed reporter has stumbled over ‘it by sheer- accident. Work among’ the ullfi' poor was Miss Gould’s hobby'before her parents died, and since their’déath she has had more time and moe, meuns to continue the WOrK, + Jay Gould himself never posed as a benevolent man ora philanthropist. He used to say it was of no use—that he would be'merely assailed, and would not have his motives questioned. That he was in a way ‘Fight was shown when about a year before his death there was a meeting held in his house on Fifth ave- nue to further church work in New York. He did not originate the idea. The ministers asked permission to meet in his house. He gave the permission, and he gave in addition hln personal check for #10,000 to help the work in hand, and in addition checks for smaller amounts in the name of other members of his family. For this Gould was scari- fied Ly the press, religious and secular, whice pronounced him an osteniatious hypocrite and several other things be- sides. It was his first and last experi- ment of the kind, At'c:l'din! to the New York Herald it was his daughter who had brought the affair about, hop- ing for a very different verdict on her father’s action. After this affair she acted as his almoner and his name never figured in her work,although his check- book was practically at her command. .3 Miss Gould’s wmethod of downg good is practical. She does not gend a check to this or that charity and then rest in sweet content, her duty done. Her method is more like the parish visiting system that great ladies in England sometimes affect as a fad rather than for a better reason. Jay Gould and his family were attendants at the church of Dr. John R. Paxton, who preaches to more wealth, perhaps, than any other pastor in New Yor Miss Gould when in New York always identifics herself with all the mission and benevolent organizations connected with this church and has always stood as ready to do real work as to contribute in | money. She has acted us a Sunday school teacher and, being a sweet- tempered young Wwoman, was & Success. Asa volunteer parish worker sho has been invaluable, for while being gen- erous her strong common sense kept her from being humbugged by chronic paupers. Her favorite home is her late father's summer house at lrvington, upon which he spent a fortune, and to good advan- tage. The house remains her property and Miss Gould spends much of the summer there, to the great satisfaction of the poor of the neighborhood. Much was written during. Jay Gould's lifetime of the splendid hot- houses connected with his Ievington home, in which almost every known kind of rare plants and flowers is culti- vated regardless of cost. Tt is said that the famous financier used to smile grimly when complimented upon his skill and taste in floriculture. As a matter of fact the multi-millionaive had vory little to do with his conservatories save to foot the bills. He liked flowers in a negative sort of way, as he liked most of the things that his favorite did, but he -left the management of the flowers to his dayghter and the expert floriculturist whom he employed. Miss Gould has always been more quiet in her tastes than most young women of large means. It is and has been with them the fad to go in for sports and games of almost all sorts, Yachting and coacning come first and less important methods of enjoyment follow in their order. Miss Gould has not, 8o far as is known, displayed pro- ficiency in any of those lines. She isa famous pedestrian and a good horse- woman. Her retired life has made of her somewhat of a student and she is a skillful musician, If she ever had liter ary tendencies, as at one time her father had, she has carefully concealed the fact. She is practically mistress of her vast fortune, but it is not likely to suffer at her hands, for she is said to have as keen a mind for business as even her brother George, now the head of the family and chief conservator of the vast Gould interests. e Artemus Ward and Mark Twain. Artemus Ward had a favorite trick that he loved to indulge in, and out of which he appeared to get a good deal of original fun, says the Californian. "This was the disbursing of a rigmarole of nonsense ina solemn and impressive manner, as though he was saying some- thing of unusual weight and importance. It was a game of mystification in which he greatly delighted. At a dinner given him by leading Comstockers at the International hotel, Ward played his trick on Mark Twain, all present being let into the sccret beforehand. He began an absurd exposition of the word genius, upon the conclusion of which ~ the embarrassed Mark was obliged to acknowledge his inability to comprehend the spoaker. *‘Indeed!” exclaimed Artemus, and for half a minute he gazed at Mark with a face in which a shade of impatience began to mingle with astonishment and compassion. Then, heaving a sigh, he said: *‘Well, perhaps 1 was not suffi- ciently explicit. What I wished to say was simply that genius is a sort of illu- minating quality of the mind inherent in those of constitutionally inflammable natures, and whose conceptions are not of that ambiguous and disputable kind which may be said——" ‘‘Hold on, Artemus,” interrupted Mark. ‘It is useleses for you to repeat your definition.
