FRIEND OF SMALL COLLEGES
Famous Philanthropist IJ.hI:

j
Chicago. April IT.?Dr. Daniel Klm
bfi.ll Pearsons, ninety-two years old.
who In recent years gave more than
?S.00P.000 to small colleges, chiefly In
tho Middle West, died early to-day in
a sanitarium at rflnsdalc, a so.b-.irb.
comparative a poor man.
Pneumonia with complications due
lo old ago was the cause. Tor sev?
eral diya he had been sinking, a
patient tn an Institution where he
maintained himself on an Income of
J6.0CH' a year paid him by a college
to which he had contributed $1!.">P,000
?n the condition that ho would bo
given t par cent of that amount for!
the remainder of his life.
It was Dr. Pearsons who declared ]
that "giving away money Is a great?
er sport than baseball, und more fun
than auy other form of entertain?
ment." He began giving money to |
tweedy colleges In 1888, and in Sums,
ranging from $10,000 to $195,000. dls. '
posed of more than $6,000,000. Ills j
last gift, he said, left him compsra- j
tlvely poor with an Income sufficient j
to keep hint from want. His ?loath j
defeated his often expressed expecta?
tion that he would live 100 years. |
Recently he sold his home to go to j
the sanitarium. The \alue of the!
home and an endowment were given
lor a public library to Hlnsdale, HI.,
bis placa of residence
At the age of ninety-one Dr. Pear
eons gave up a lifelong use of to?
bacco, making, he said, a renuncia?
tion for conscientious reasons.
Dr. Pearsons wns born In Bradford,
Vu Ho began practicing medicine In
1S4?. Coming to Illinois in IS57. he
made a for tuna In buying and selling
Illinois farm lands. Ho was a Chicag ?
Alderman In IS";..
His first notable gift was ll^e.ooa to
Belolt Collet,.. Wisconsin. He gave
Uelo' t In all $600,( 00,
Most of i>r. Pearsons'* gifts were on
orvr.dlUcn thu.t an u-tnount equal to his
rhould bo provided by others. It was
Iiis way of Stimulating philanthropy in
others.
"None of Ihn rich colleges will get
my money," he often said, "Only the
poor ones, the obscure, struggling
otiAs, up In the mountains or out in the
woods, where the boy or girl, living
out at nowhere, may get an education."!

"I Never Want Any But
The Hardman"
In adding his enthusiastic praise of the Hardman, tin's great
singer places himself squarely on record along with scores of
others who know. Read this letter:
Gentlemen:
When 1 first reached America I was enthusiastic .
about various American pianos, hut 1 had then not
heard the Hardman. Within the last few weeks my
attention has been particularly attracted by the Hard
man Piano, and I can assure you that I now feel that
I never want to use any other.
Its tone excels all other? in its refinement. I con?
sider that I owe you a debt of gratitude for calling my
attention to it.
With my kindcsl regards. 1 am,

convention; The county Democrats
packed the courthouse here Hits af?
ternoon and the convention was 'n ]
reality a love feast. Wilson's name |
was lottdly cheered whenever it was
mentioned. Nino delegates were elect,

adopted:
??Resolved, That the Democrats ot
Frederick county, in convention as
sembjed, do recognise that Governor
Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey. a|
native of Virginia, 1? one of the fore?
most political th'nkers of the ace and
a practical statesman who has ac?
complished many needed reforms, and
that there is a national demand for
his nomination by the Democratic par?

therefore, ie it resolved:
"Thnt the delegates from Fredrrkk

vote and work for an instructed dele?

Sprech by H> rd.
Immediately after adjournment
Speaker Byrd made a charactcrtstlcal-1
ly strong and eloquent speech, during
which he was frequently interrupted
by storms of applause. He began by
s?ying that In- would give an account
of h:s stewardship. He sa'd the pub?
lic school system is too f?r from the
people and not sufficiently subject la
their control, and that he voted for
an amendment which gave the people
the r'ghi to elect division superin?
tendents, hut the Sengte threw t out.
He said lie ha I proposed and s >tt< :i

registration lists, but they were turn?
ed down by Hie Seriate, His child
labor hill met the same fate. Taking
?>P tit- presidential matter, Mr. Byrd
said Missouri had instructed for
I lark, Alabama for Underwood and
Vlrglnin should Instruct for Wilson.
This, he said, is a time of change.
There i- no standing still. The stand?
patters lag superfluous on Hi-- .itage.
The question Is: "?iiall we advocate

as there Is no visible likelihood of the

Wm. G. C. Gladstone; grandson of
th. Great Commoner, in an Interview
on the Irish convention in Dublin,
?vtiich he attended by special invita?
tion, says it was the greatest thing
imaginable. He was not surprised at
its order, hut he was deeply impressed
at t'/e way the home rule measure was
received. He. conveyed the impres?
sion to the reporter that In his Judg?
ment Ireland had forgiven and forgot,
ten tli? coercion nets and ideas of his
grandfather's days, Mr. Gladstone is
spoken of as a new and greater link
betwet n Ireland and England.
Dreamed 11 Im Stories.
The death of Justin McCarthy, the
novelist and historian, lias brought
out a crop of anecdotes. It Is said he
used to dream his stories. -When 1
awoke mid recalled the whole,-- he Is
quoted as saving. "I wrote it word for
word, as If I were copying without
taxing my bra'n u> provide idea? or I
word dressing'. Many passages of the !
Maid of Athens' were dreamed."
Mr. McCarthy thought the piesent!
age was one of decay In oratory. Hal-j
four was no successor' to Disraeli, nor i
Joseph Chamberlain to John Br aht.'
Harcourt, he used to say, was a good i
tighter, like Kipling's "Fuzzy-Wuzjsy,"
tun he was no Gladstone. Asquith and ]
Sir A. Fowler were brilliant, but they I
did not till the shoes of Cobden or I
