HIS SINS (ll? OMISSEON W. Jr. sauuff%ovraws_s THE CHARACTER OF JAY GOULD. The Duty of Millionaires to The" Genera- llIm-mwunt Demo: Will "o " " Sts Not ootre-0%o I’m-501ml Habits of the, Deccan ed Ma1tFtnutonalre. But, after all, it is not so much by the dir ect abuse of power which money gives thatthemillionaire of to-day will be weighed in the balance and found want- ing. It is not so much the sins of com mission as those of omission which lie piled at his door, The wealth of such Y n ta s, _ ”m-.-" .J “Amt... tgnaw as Jay Gould is a sceptre oi power'. The failure to exert that power in the promotion of the great causes which mark the progress of humanity is an offence which cannot be atoned for by any amount of tithing of mint, wise and cumin. Private beneliceratse, even on the most lavish scale and conducted in the most secret way, can no more compensate for the failure to exert the authority and iniNenee that a million- aire possesses in stemming the tide of vice, ignorance and savager3, and in promoting the advent of a higher and nobler life. The regular attendance at a. parish church does not justify a mon- arch in allowing his frontier to lie open to the incursions of the foe. Of the millionaire, more than of other men,ms.y it be said, in "getting and spending, we lay waste our powers ;” but in the case of the millionaire it should be "getting and hoarding weslay waste our powers” It was computed that around the bier of Jay Gould were gathered some dozen men whose combined fortunes amount- ed to one hundred millions sterling. No unnecessary work can long be left neglected, andiflmillionaires will not clis, tribute their wealth and use their great position with great souls and hearts, they will find that they will come to be regarded by the hungry and thirsty Demos much as compensation reservoirs are regarded by the inhabitants of the cities who have constructed them to re- plenisli the,sirrearu which their thirst would otherwise drink dry. These great fortunes of 70 millions and 100 and 300 millions of dollars will come to be regarded as the storage service upon which mankind draw in season of bear'e- ity and drought. That is the use which society will make of its millionaires if millionaires do not anticipate the iuevit- able by utilizing their millions, Some people imagine chat the progressot dem- oeratie socialism will tend to discourage the accumulation of these hugefortunes; it is more likely that Demos wall regard his millionaires as the cottager regards his bees. Times: useful insects spend the Iivelong summer day in collecting and hoarding up in their combs the golden plunder cd a thousand flowers, but when the autumn comes the bee wishes to) take its rest and to enjoy the fruits of its summer toil.' But the result does not altogether correspond with the ex- pectation of the bee. A few more Jay Goulds and the autumn of millionaires will be near at hand. He was more or' less an invalid all his life. It has been said that he scarcely knew what it was to be with- out an ache. Certainly he was afflietrt,d with dyspepsia and neuralgia for many years. He was of a very nervous tem- perament. His face had a faded yel- low hue, looking at times waxy, yet few men took better care of theurslves than Mr. Gould. It has sometmes been said that he occasionally overate, but this probably arises from the fact that the slightest 1ntempeva-cce in eair ing affected him more than other men. He was seldom out of bed later than eleven o'eloek at night, except on those evenings when he would take his child- ren and grandchildren to the theater or circus. He abstained absolutely from spirit' nous liquors and never used tobacco- His doctor told him a number of years ago that it wouldn't do him any harm to smoke a. little, because it might di- vert his mind from the cares of bmi. ness. He laid in a great supply of the most expensive Turkish cigarettrs and assayed the feat. But it Was a dismal failure and the office boys in the West- ern Union building reveled in the Turk- ish cigarettes which M r, Gould threw away. A modest cup of claret was all he ever took at'dinner and he cared no- thing especially abuot the brand or quality-Typ the “Character Sketch of Jay Gould." by W. T. Stead, l?ebru- ary Review of Reviews. A Disturbance isn't what yon want, if your stomach and bowls are irregular. That's about all you get, though with the ordinary pill. It may relieve you for a moment but you’re usually in a worse state af- terward than before. This is just where Dr. Pierce’s Plea- sent Pellets do most good. They act in an easy and natural way, very dif. ferent from the huge, old-fashioned pills. They've not only pleasanter, but there’s no reaction afterward, and their help lasts. One little sugar-coat- ed pellet for a gentle laxative or cor. rective--three for a cathartic. Consti. pation, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks, Dizziness, Sick and Bilious Headaches, are promptly relieved and cured. They'ro the smallest, the easiest to alre-and the cheapest pill you can , for they're guaranteed to give 'sfaction, or your money ls returned, 11 pay only for the good you get. A Myutery About Arte mu Ward. l Among the mysteries of his life (and they are many). none was greater than that involving the total disappear- ance of his property at. the time of his dersth. Mr. Maxtield, his administra- tor, who knew much of his "airs, says that while he did nothave as much money as was generally supposed, yet, being in bis room In Waterford one day, just before hisdepareure for Eng. land, and while he Was arranging his business anlrs "so that," as Charles said, "if anything should happen moth- er will be all right," he saw a pile of notes on the nablo amounting to $12.- 000, which he thought Was all the money Charleshad. He had a. vulu- able gold watch Mid chain. The chain was of solid gold, 21 present from the California miners, very heavy, though plainly wrought, and worth alone sew eral hundred dollars, He has also a a diamond pin of considerable value, and two diamond rings. Besides, his lust season in London was very success- lul. For some six weeks he netted $300 a night. He was also liberally paid for his contributions to Punch. But of all this his mother never receiv- ed a cent, and not so mach as a single relic. Previous to his death he had cleared the old homestead of debt, and had willed his mother a small property st Yonkers, New York. What became of the rest l.-.Serihtoer. The inventions or Our Age.

Brockville, Ont., March 8,-Last night, between 11 and 12 o,eloelr, Mr. William Cheetham and wife with their daughter, on returning home from a social held at St. John's church here, were horrified on finding their: son sit- ing upright in a chair with a revolver in his hand and a bullet hole through his head and one through his left side, having shot himself in their absence. Deceased has been very despondent for the last year or so. He was a carriage trimmer by trade, but has not worked for over a year. coronerhraux being notified, decided that it was not necessary to hold an inquest. It is said that a fair calculation of the time occupied in seeing the World's Fair places it at a month. A project is on foot to have electrical carriers supplied to the building and grounds. Those who cannot afford the time nec- essary to see the show in an ordinary way, may get into a receptacle and be whisked through the building at the rate of a hundred and twenty miles an hour. It is calculated in this Way that visitors getting into the city in the morning may leave at night if they escape the thugs and sandbaggers. Peach Bloom consume nothing that can injure the skin.

If it be true, it is equal- ly true that the world needs more fan. Mics. The man who throws himself, body and srul, into the world's work Is far preferable to his visa versa, the indifftuy em. man. Of all the flaws which a character may poswess, that of indifference is the worst. Show us aboy enthusiastic in his work and we can show you one who will make his way in the world; show us one who is indifferent and it easy to pick one who in after life will never be heard from. All this is aimed at the he -ds of our boys to show them the blackness of I dou't-careness. Boys, be enthusiastic. Move. Let every effort counc. If yois undertake a thing, stick at it- succeed in it. If you undertake to learn a trade show enthusiasm enough in it to master it in every detail. If you enter college and a. profes- sional lite, be crank enough to stand at the head of your class and your chosen profession. Remember nothing sueeeedy like success and the I don'tresre never ac- hieves it.--Wis, Tunes, Rebecca Willciasou,of Bcowns1ralhsy, lnd says: "I had been in a distressed condition for three years from Nervousness, Weakness of the Stomach, Dyspepsia and Indigestion until my health was gone. I had been doc- toring constantly with no relief. I bought one bottle of South American Nervine, which done me more good than any $50 worth of doctorUsg I ever did in my life. I would. advise every weakly person to use this valuable and lovely remrdy. A trial bottle will convince you. Warrsuted by E. M. Devite, Druqgise, Waterloo.
