Ziort Dwigging of Rensselaer, Indiana—theredy hangs @ tale of ro- mantic finance, ‘The Gtting prototype of Dwiawine is the man who first tried to finance the entire Mississippi valley-—John Law of “Mississipp! Bubble" fame. Like Law, Dwiggins was one @f those energetic dreamers who try to make thelr dreams come true, Like Law, he was honest and sincere, In 1890 Dwigg¢ing was presi¢ent of @ Httle bank in Rensselaer, But that pent up Utioa was too small He sought « large arena, Chicaga He bought @ controlting interest in the Columbia National bank of that city—« small concern with good crodit. He made its capita $1,000,- 000, paying for his controlling Interest with notes of hand, Dwiggins was a great hypnotist, With 4 Chicago base, he started to corner ali the money in three or four states, Strange as it may seem, with his promissory notes he bought a controlling Interest in 25 small banks in Indiana, 1 In IMnela, T in Oblo and 3 tn Michigan-—43 tn all, The Cotumbia Nettonal extended credit to these banks tn the amount of their stock subsoription, Inciden- tally 91,500,009 of their deposits went to the Columbla National, mak- ing it a strong Institution, If Dwiggtins had made a better Investment of these deposits there f# no telling where he would have stopped with his bank trust. He put the money Into securities easily affected by the stock markets, As in John Law's stupendous scheme, the paychological moment came. : ‘There was @ slump tn the market, a rum en the Columbia, and down went Dwiggins’ whole string of banks—as Mat a» Darius Green's fying machine. j Dwtagine turned over to the creditors every cent he had In the world.

Henry Phippe js an iron king who was once associated with Andrew Car- Regit. Mr. Phipps made a gerat deal of money. Some say he has a hun- dred million dollars. At least he has more than he can spend. Instead of following in the steps of other millionaires and devoting his wealth to Mbraries and colleges he is gotag to invest a mifion or two in the noblest kind of charity, He is going to fight consumption. He is gotng to put bis dollars Sgainst 4 disease that has caused mmre sorrow in homes of poverty than any other If that assail# the body, ‘The rich consumptives must dle and the poor runt die. ‘That is because it costs money to fight the dismuse, The child that is coughing its iittle life away in a hovel needs good food, constant atten- tion, pure air and unitmited sunabine in a Gry climate. ‘The doctor can preserthe these things, but he might as well, to many cases, advise a trip to the moon. With ail the wealth in this country, with wealth op every hand, with soctety throwing dollars away, human beings die because of bitter pover- So Mr. Phipps calied the architects and doctors tn and sald: “T want @ great hospital for consumptives. The cost tent going to matter, Locate it tm the center of the city, among the poor. It te to be PRE. We wilt have the beat scientific talent in the world. We will buy everything that tends to comfort, and we willtry to save some tives im our fight consumption. - ‘ ‘That is the biggest thing Henry Phipps ever did, and the noblest, Surely & man who can thitk of such & thing and finds it in his heart to carry out the grand idea, NO MATTER WHAT IT COSTS, has a fine na- ture, that even the possession of wealth cannot strangle. ———_—_—_ New York matrons are congratulating themselves over what ap- Pears to them to be a solution of the servant problem. out this is only & small part of the victory gained by the “girls.” ia to them, but so is Thursday. There had to be further jaht dinners are also growimg in popu- Yarity at the hotels, This means that the servants not only get the time @amanded, but get more, since nothing must be left In readiness for the family dinner. Witn “nothing doing” im the servant's absence, there Is . Bathing to get ready before she goes and nothing to clear up after she returns ‘Thus the Gotham matrons have solved the ancient problem of the eervest’s day of. Of course, it might have been settled years aga hardly to fave been expected that the New York dames would GO Te their independence without at least a show of resistance. They have made a long fight against the inevitable, and now in their final capitulation there i# no discredit. Their fate is the common fate. Resistance to servant girls’ demands, however bravely it may be inaugurated an@ maintained for @ while, always ends in capitulation. ‘That is the only sotution of the problem ever discovered. —_—__oOoOo Stow TO EASY DIVORCE ‘The United States supreme court, by @ vote of five to three, has rendered a decision that ts a solar plexus blow to the Dakota divoree. It upholds the right of a state to protect the marriage of its own citizens against dissolution by another state on residence taken up ealely for that purpos, and abandoned the moment the divorce is ob- tained. ‘The decision does not, of course, affect the constitutional ruarantee thet full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public nets, records and judicial proceedings of every other atate, but It doen restrict the right of one state to legisiate and adjudicate for the citizens of other states, It is @ matter of common and nauseating notoriety that many & person has gone from his own state, where he could not dissolve his marriage, to another state where divorce is easy, acquired the pre- soribed residence and obtained the divorce, and then promptly re- turned to hie usual residence. i This is constantly done, without any intention of becoming « bona fide resident of Dakota or of abandoning the former legal residence, The sum of ft i# that the Dakota residence is in intent and in effect, a fraud. ‘The divorce granted to such a sojourner by the Dakota court is divorce to a real citizen of another #tate. It infringes upon the laws of others states as applying to their own citizens, ‘The legislature of Maw 1 this procedure an a mere husetts tre evasion of the law of that state and the divor obtained as hous, leaving the marriage tn full foree. The supreme court upholds the constitutionality of the Mansuchusetts legiaiation. Any ntate that chooses may now pass a similar statute, if it secs Mit, Indeed the courts, in the absence of express legislation, may hold that such divorces are illegal and worthles This decision, of course, applies only to cases where the divorce secker has obtained a decree in another state without permanently abandoning or intending to permanently abandon residence in his own atete. No state can compel any person to maintain residence within a borders or prevent anyone from becoming a bona fide citizen of an- other, and as such obtaining a valid divorce in ordanee with the Jaws thereof. But thia in quite different from going to another state merely for the purpese of divorce and returning as soon as that pure pone is accomplished. It is the prompt return that marks the divorce @ fraud. oO Two Culltornta young men, enamored of the same girl, attempted to nacertain which was more worthy of her affection by dissecting each other with long sharp knives.
