WHAT A BUr.I'ISHR is. V Sew Feature in |be Keol Eatate Buaiaeia. -They have anew profession down in Southwest Georgia," said a well known business man. who recently returned from a trip through that section. "Bogussers they call them. It is a very common pro fession in the turpentine and lumber re gions of the state, and a very lucrative one, too, apparently. I was looking for a bi lot of tine turpentine land, about 60.- io< acres which a well known Savannah firm wanted to sell me. I found the land, but I didn’t buy. It is a splendid, flour ishing country, and the people are build ing towns right out in the woods. The only trouble is that there are too many bogussers. What is a bogusser? Well, 111 tell yotl just how I found out. While 1 was looking around for this land I met most of the prominent people in that sec tion. Among those I met were a number of t asy going, prosperous looking sort of follows, who didn’t seem to have much ,-lse to do but talk about the advantages of the prospects of the country. Thev didn’t seem to be real estate agents, and they were all colonels. After 1 had met several, I began to inquire about them. • What does Colonel So-and-So do?’ I said. ’• ’Oh, he’s a bogusser,' would be tho reply. What’s a bogusser?’ 1 inquired, i hen I found out. A bogusser, I was in'ormed. Is a man who makes a busl n. s.- of laying claim to lands to which lie has no real claim, and compelling the bona tide purchasers of the lands to which he lays claim to buy him off You go there and buy a lot of land, for Instance, and settle down on it You haven’t been there long before a bogusser conic# along and lays claim. You pro duce your titles. Then the bogUFsor pro duces his titles to the land. Like as not he will have a long chain of titles run ning a\*iiy back to the old land lottery The thing looks serious and he threatens you with a lawsuit, if he doesi/’t try to bulldoze you and threaten yo* with a shotgun. He goes away, and alter he has given you time to think it over he comes back or sends some else He doesn’t want the land himself, and to save trouble he is willing to soli his claim for 3200 or 1300. If you are a green horn you take him up and the bogusser Is that much richer. Land titles are so badly mixed In South Georgia anyway that a man never knows where he stands Living is cheap in that country, and the bogusser has enough to live on until an other victim conies along. Half a dozen men were pointed out to me who, I was informed on good authority, have done nothing else for the last few years. They either forge their titles or buy up old titles which have been proved In the courts to ba worthless. ’1 here arc so many old land grants, the titles of which have been handed about from one purchaser to an other, none of the purchasers ever seeing the land, the same land in many instances having been granted to more than one i 'arty, disposed of under the old lottery s heme and now held by squatter sover eignty that the bogusser has all the loop holes he needs to escape the law, and It is very difficult to prove fraud on them. 1 did not buy the land I went to look at, because 1 think the title of the Savannah owners is worthless, there being other parties claiming the land, who appear to have a better title." It would seem that the first move that should be made by those who are now en gaged in booming Immigration should be to straighten out the South Georgia land titles. TOURISTS MOVING NORTH. The Near AN am a Fairly Good One anil Hotel Men Are Not U'oniplnDs iHK. The tourists are now making their way north as rapidly as possible, and very few of them comparatively are left in this sec tion. There is quite a number of north ern people left scattered around in Flor ida at the smaller hotels, but all the larger houses have closed for the sea son, and their guests either re turned home or sought resorta In cooler climates. The busy season with the De Soto so far as the tourists are cohcerned closed about a week or ten days ago, but up to that time tho house was filled, and at times it was a difficult matter to accom modate the large number of guests. For the last week, however, the hotel has had an average of 200 to 250 northern people, and rooms have been engaged by people who are in Florida for the next two weeks to come, so that the sea son will really extend up to about May 1. The tourists, when they leave Florida, either go direct home or stop at some of the resorts en route. Savannah seems to be one of the most popular places with them, and its popularity is on the Increase every year—a strong argument in favor of some action on the part of the railreads looking toward making this a tourist point. The other resorts sought are Asheville, and Old Point Comfort, while some of them go to the Bon Air, near Augusta. The season altogether, the hotel men say, has been a fairly good one. It was much better than that of last year, though hardly up to that of 1892-93, which was an exceptional year, at least so far us this city was concerned. It is said by some of those who have kept up with the tourist business that •Mr. Flagler has made considerable money out of his hotel business in Florida this season. His principal profit was from the Royal Poincianna at Palin Beach, which had about 900 guests for seven weeks. It is said Mr. Flagler made $75,000 clear from ■this hotel alone. ROOKING FOB A FORGER. Mr. .1. A. Gottee of Mlllen the Victim of One. Mr. J. A. Gottee of Mlllen is In town looking for a man k'ho forged his name on checks upon the Citizens Hank to the amount of $l6B. The forgeries were com mitted some time ago and were only re cently discovered when the bank notified Mr. Gottee that he had no more funds to his credit and refused payment of a check drawn by him on the bank. Mr. Gottee requested a statement and upon examination of the checks with which he was charged he found that three of them were forgeries, the amount se cured by the forger being, as stated, $368. It seems that the forger got in his work by purchasing goods from three differ ent firms in the city and giving in pay ment checks having Mr. Gottee's name signed to them. The ohecks were ac cepted by the firms and the forger got the difference between the cost of his purchases and the face of the checks in cash. The checks were paid without question by the bank. As they were en dorsed by the merchants, however, the loss will fall upon them. Mr. Gottee's name was misspelled, how evr. by the forger, and the merchants may claim that the bank should have recognized the forgery. The whereabouts of the forger is unknown. Death of Robert Lockett, Colored. Robert Lockett, colored, a messenger of the Western Union Telegraph Com pany, died yesterday morning, after an Illness of three months' duration. He was 27 years old, and had been employed by the company for nine years. He was faith ful and trustworthy and was well-liked by his employers. The funeral will take Place to-duy at 3 o'clock p. m. from hla late home, 28 Oak street. The deceased was a mumber of the H. 11. of O. F. and Golden K Social Club, both of which will attend the funeral. Tin- Hibernians* Tourist Club.

Hut the Sower’s Costume Was Ea • trelj in Advance of the Scaxoa. In the old-fashioned almanac the page devoted to April was adorned with the figure of a man In his shirt sleeves, wearing a straw hat and scattering seed from a huge apron. He set an example of iudustnr, but not of dress to us who know April never passes without mauy an overcast, bleak, bitter day. In such weather we are liable to prosaic bothersome colds that stop up our noses, make our eyes water, and stiffen the muscles of our backs and limbs, so that we wonder if we are growing old. Mot a bit of it. The blood is sluggish, and does not carry away broken down tissue—the ashes of the body. Duffy's Pure Mult Whiskey changes all this. It Is an honest medicinal stimulant, helpful to revive the flagging strength when sud den changes of temperature try the body sorely. It quickens the circulation, and diffuses a healthful and most welcome warmth through the body. Often we find people complaining at this time of year, that after exposure It takes them a long time to get thoroughly warm. A spring cold has gripped them with its gaunt, icy Ungers. Let them assist the processes of life with Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey, and the clutch of the intruder is shaken off. FOR THE FEM E ELECTION. Tin* Registration 1 ntler the Yew l,aw Picking I p in the Last Few Days. The registration under the new general law has been picking up In the last few days, and there are now 1,044 names on the book kept In the office of Capt. J. J. McGowan, the tax collector. Since the announcement to the effect that there is to be an election this year on the question of fence or no fence, the registration has In creased considerably from day to day, but there will hardly be any general rush for the‘books until It has been fully deter mined whether this registration or that taken under the local registration law Is to be used in the lection on the first Wed nesday In July. 'lho question as to which registration WMi be used will be, no doubt, an interest ing one. The new law certainly reqieals the old local law, and it is certain also that the provisions of the new law* cannot be tally carried out, in time tor the use of the registration lists under it at th'.s elec tion. The new law' requires that the three commissioners of registration shall go over the lists and carefully examine Into the qualifications of each of those registered, and this work is to bo begun on the first Monday in July. It is hardlv probable that it could be completed by the first Wednes day, which is only two days later, and which is the day on which the election would have to be hold. The commtisslon ers of registration for this county as ap pointed by Judge Falligant ure Messrs. T. F. Johnson, R. J. Wade and John i. Morris sey. It will probably be left to Judge Fa Mi grant to decide as to which registration will have to be used at the election. The law requires that the registration used for the election of members of the general assembly shall be need In the election of fence or no fence, and much in teres: will center in this point. If the new registra tion is to be used the commissioners will certainly have to hustle to get It ready in time for the election, which will take place two days after they begin on the books, and if not there will he no trouble about the registration, as that used for the eleotion of members of the general assembly last October will be used. FOR A ONE FARE RATE. The Ordinaries Have Filed n Request With the Southern Passenger As sociation. Judge Hampton L. Ferrill of the court of ordinary returned yesterday from At lanta, where he has been in consultation with Judge W. L. Calhoun of the Fulton county ordinary's court, with regard to the coming convention of ordinaries, which is to be held In this city. It has been concluded that May 15, the second Wednesday, will be the most ad vantageous day for holding the conven tion, especially on account of the fact, that a great many of the ordinaries who belong to confederate veterans’ associa tions are desirous of attending the exer cises at the unveiling of the confederate monument at Chicago, which will take place the latter part of the month. Judges Ferrill and Calhoun called on Commissioner Slaughter, with a view to securing a one fare rate for the ordinaries wbo will attend the convention. The or dinaries have a good deal of business to do for the railroads, and a rate of one fare for the round trip would be an advantage to many of them, while it would not put the railroads out at all to grant it. Com missioner Slaughter informed them that he could do nothing in the matter, us he went, out on April 15, and that, in any event, they would have to make applica tion to the rate committee, which had ex clusive jurisdiction over such matters. An application to the rate committee was duly filed and left with the commissioner. Funeral of Little Clanilln Sullivan, Tho funeral of Little Claudia Sullivan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Sullivan, whose death was announced' in the Morn ing News yesterday, took place at 3:30 o’clock in the afternoon at St. Johns church. The services were attended by many of the Sunday-school of St. Johns. The Easter carol, ''t ome, Bring the Bright and Blooming Roses" was sung. The burial was in Bon aventure and the little grave was covered with beautiful Easter flowers, placed' by loving hands. The banner of little Claudia's class was draped in mourning at the Easter festival last night in memory of the little one who had gone. A MOTHER UPHOLDS A NURSE. 3ny* She Did Right to Spank a Child and Rent It Against a Wall. St. Augustine, Fla., April 14.—Edith Jen nings, a white nurse for Mrs. Frederick F. Butler, a lady of high social standing in Detroit, Midi., was before St. Augus tine's municipal judge yesterday, on a charge of assault and battery, preferred by C. L. Bunting, who saw the nurse spank the child of Mrs. Butler and beat It against the sea wall. In court the mother declared the nurse had done only what she sanctioned, adding that had she been present the child would have received much worse punishment. The attorney for the nurse gave notice of appeal from the-court's sentence of $5 and costs, but Mrs Butler Insisted that the fine be paid, as she did not wish to appear in the police court again. FIRE AT A RUDDER WORKS. The Pumping Station nud Grinding Department Ilurneil. Port Jefferson, N.

THE MORXING NEWS: MONDAY. APTiTT, 15. 1595. BA.\KKR (LEW* VIEWS. Tbe Fiaanfl.nl Outlook us Sera From Wnll Street. New York, April 13.—AM the commercial symptoms continue to be encouraging. The upward tendency in the prices of merchan dise becomes more marked, which means not only a sustained increase in the de mand for goods, but also a growth of con fidence among the trading community. We have witnessed this week a pronounced ad vance in petroleum, cotton and beef. Coal has also been marked up and also silver, thus showing the tendency of products to seek a higher valuation. It 1s an evidence that the country is waking up from Its long existing condition of pessimism, and that the brighter side is becoming visible to those engaged in business undertak ings. Ihe outlook for the crops general ly has materially improved of late. What this country particularly wants this year, however, is a good yield of corn, and not excessive ones in either wheat or cotton. The two latter crops can be too large to be of benefit, the former cannot be, as it is a product that never deteri orates with age. and makes the most solid and healthy food for both man and beast. In it we have little competition with other nations, and no fear of any. It is therofors entitled to be considered the king of crops in this country, and has dethroned cotton, which used to be so considered. 1 think it Ip unfortunate that the por tion of the income tax law which was sustained should have been by a tie vote, as it will cause increased dissatisfaction on the part of the tax pavers. It leaves a grave doubt in the minds of most peo ple as to the constitutionality of the law. If half of the supreme bench judgbs share In that doubt, why should it not be general with the tax payers? 1, therefore, doubt whether anyone w’ill be wtlling to pay a large amount of money as an income tax under the circum stances, excepting it is done under pro test to admit of it being again recovered as a result of a future reversed decision. The income tax law*, as it now stands, is in about this shape: If I had a farm and rented It, giving me an income of slo,oo*. I should not have to pay any tax on that income; but my tenant would have to pay a tax on his income de rived then from. On the basis of Justice, the revefse should be the case. Tho great activity among the silver propagandist*! of the west Is attracting much attention; the more so as it appears to be directed almost entirely towards national free coinage, independently of any international arrangement. Of course, but only one result would be possible under such a state of things— the suspension of gold payments and tho forcing out of the country of our pres ent stock of gold. It v well, however, that this suicidal scheme should receive nil the publicity the .diver fanatics are trying to give it. When the next presi dential election comes the honest people of the country will understand the mean ing of the plot, and will be prepared with a verdict that will settle all such rant once nnd forever. In the meantime. President Cleveland will see to it that no further harmful silver legislation gets on the statute book. HUDMALL’S ASSESSMENT. Other Notes of Interest From the Lively Town of Orlando. Orlando, Fla., April 14.—Edward Hud nall, one of the largest shoe dealers In the state, who has done business here for the past ten years, under the name of E. Hudnall & Cos., made an assignment last night to L. C. Vaughan. Mr. Hudnall has been considered one of the solid men of the community. He purchased an un usually heavy stock last fall, relying upon the prosperous condition of this section nnd the outlook for an Immense trade. The fruit crop was lost by the freeze, and business dropped from a boom to low water mark. This prevented him from meeting his bills, and while the larger creditors were disposed to tide him over, some of the smaller ones pressed their claims, even refusing to receive back one half of their goods In partial liquidation of their claims, unless Mr. Hudnall would consent to a 50 per cent, reduction below Invoice prices. The assignee Is busy tak ing stock, and Investigating the business of the house to-day, and can give no ex act figures, but he says that assets will exceed liabilities four to one, and that all claims will be paid in full. It Is hoped that matters will be adjusted in a few days and Mr. Hudnall be doing business again. In the return game between the Orlando and Apopka base ball clubs, played here Friday the Apopkas won by a score of 15 to 14. Orlando won the initial game of the scries two weeks ago. The final game will he played in Apopka next week, and as each has a game to Its credit, the contest for the final victory promises to be spir ited. T. C. Hockersmith. anew settler, caught a black bass In Lake Jessamine yesterday which weighed thirteen and three-fourths pounds, and measured twenty-nine inches long. This is an encouraging beginning. In spite of the set back to this section, the demand for real estate Is quite brisk, and a number of important sales have been made recently. Farming lands arc In greater demand than an ever before, and it seems probable that the Injury to the fruit Interests will result in greater energy In all around farming. STORY OF A RATTLESN AKE CITY, Nothing Left of the- Town hat Five Lowly Grave# and nil Inscription. Wichita Correspondence St. Louis Glehc- Dcmoerat. Tho death of Outlaw Bob Rogers and his wife, Ixiuise, recalls the rapid rise and fall of F.attlesnake City, Greer county, Texas. All that now remains of this place Is five grajss-grown mounds, two graven of the victims of the "big kill* ing, 1 ’ and on a stone in the center of this group is the following, inscribed in rude letering: "Rattlesnake Grave Yard. A Modern Hell." A mushroom city had grown up In a week down In Greer county, in the fall of 1887, while the government was dis puting as to whether this land belonged to the Indian Territory or to Texas. First, a big fellow calling himself “Rattlesnake Joe,” had gone through Kansas and Mis souri, making speeches to the Oklahoma boomers and inducing them to stop try ing to force an entrance to Oklahoma and go to Greer county, "the paradise of The Spine is one of the most tender parts of the body.

W MADE FROM Higfe Scads Msecs ajo> ABSOLUTELY PURE America,” as Joe called it. InrMenitilly Joe lectured and took up coll cations. Somehow the people got the Idea that Greer county had unworked gold mines and diamond fields of fabulous richness. Perhaps Joe told them so. At any rate Rob Rogers and luls€‘, his pretty wife, left the boomer camp at Hunnewell in Kansas, and with others of tho home seekers, they trundled off dojim tho old Kansas and TVxas trail into the prom ised land. Once there, they found that others had come in from the Indian Ter ritory, Texas and Mexico. In some manner peculiar to the west a little shanty, wxigon and tent town sprang inco existence, and they trolled tho place “Rattlesnake City.” By common con sent “Texas Ben” Jones became the mar shal. No one proposed the name In a convention, nor was there an election hold. Ren ©imply became the marshal because he did, and probably because he was bigger, quicker on the draw, and read to gb into a light any day or night of tihe year. Rattlesnake was a '‘daisy’* w’hile she lasted, and the boomers were usually law’ abiding. Unlike mining camps, there was noth ing to keep up the town. No one w’orked, because there was no W’ork to do. Almost every one had a little money, and gam bling became the recognize J trade of Rat tlesnake. W'hile the men played poker and bucked the tiger, the women pitched pennies for rash. Kvery shanty and every wagon had a layout for gambling, and socn the desperate bands of high waymen, moonshiners and cattle thieves that infest this country’ began to come 1n to play. Quite a Monte Carlo was thus built up. Bob Rogers and Louise had been raised in Ohio and came of good stock. Rob had gone to college long enough to learn to play poker and swear. He soon became a leader in the colony* about Rattlesnake because of his nerve, bearing and good looks. Ijoulse was tho beauty of Greer county, and by virtue thereof the queen of border society. She led in all the dances held in the center of the canvas and shack city once a week. By’ degrees Rogers won all the money of his neighbors, and as fast as he become broke the unsuccess ful player took his outfit and .moved nwny. Not always, though, for some times he would wager his wagon and team and lose them also. Then he walked out of Rattlesnake. ‘ As Rogers won money be took on impor tance. He opened a big gambling house in a tent and called the place "Rogers' pavilion.” He now virtually owned the city. This tent became the center of attraction for all that part of Texas. Louise objected to the opening of this house, but her husband, carried awav with the fever of gambling, laughed at her fears. “He that lives by the sword shall perish by the sword," she told him more than once, but Bob went right on winning the money of the people who played there, it appeared that he could not lose. One day Texas Ben strode In and took a seat at a table where three strangers were prepar ing to play poker. Ben was ugly and had been drinking. He picked up the cards and Joined in the game. Ben had money, and so did the other people. By and by, when a big jack pot was in sight, only Ben and a dapper little chap remained in the game. Ben drew one card, the stranger three. Then they went to betting, and raised until all the Texan had was in the pot. Every one In the room had quit to watch this play. "I'll call you," swore the big marshal, “and if you beat tny hand you’ve got to fight ” The little fellow on the other ldo of the table only glanced up with a sidewise glitter In his eyes. Bob Rogers pushed his way through the crowd and declared that the game was on the square, and if there was any killing done in the pavilion he'd have a hand in It. The mqre peaceful boomers moved away, but the gamblers and outlaws generally remained. Bob tried to get Louise to go away, but she re fused to comply- unless he would go with her. Still the big Texan glanced across the table at the little player on the other side and the little one smiled back at him. Every one smelled tragedy In the air Texas Ben was a known ‘‘killer," and the little cuss facing him had all the indica tions of a “kllief" himself. "Three kings and a pair of queens ” roared Texas Ben, laying down his hand on tho table. "Four ace*,” cried the littlo man, drop ping his cards like hot cakes, and catching a knife from his sleeve. In a moment a froo-for-all tight was in progress. Ben Jones was killed. Louise tried to drag her husband away and was shot through the nose. Bob was bound to defend his place and shoot the matter out. The dapper stranger was one of the slain, proved to be a woman in disguise. In all five were killed and Louise was dlsfiguered for life. Rattlesnake city had had a shock that made the people awake as though from a hypnotic trance. They shouted that the place was accursed. The shooting occurred at noon, and by night not even a dog was left to tell where Rat tlesnake City had stood. The dead were hurriedly burled, and the wounded were carried away in wagons. The tents were folded up and the shacks were burned to the ground. When the United States of ficers heard of the "big killing," as It was called, they went to the place where the town had once stood, but found nothing but a few heaps of ashes and five newly made graves. The outlaw portion of Rattlesnake's po uiatlon returned to their hiding places in the hills. The gamblers sought new pas tures, wliere mousy was plenty, and the "boomers" slowly trundled back toward Ocklahoma. They had had enough of Rattlesnake Joe’s earthly paradise. Poor Louise Rogers, her boauty gone forever, was Inconsolable. dbob was sorry, but consoled himself with some money he had left out of his winning*. At Purcei! he con tinued to play until this money had gone back into the gamblers' cotters from whence it sprang. When Ocklahoma opened he got a claim and was elected sheriff of his county. By degrees he'hecame estranged from his disfigured but faithful wife and took up with a neighbor's. He was ousted from office by disgusted constituents, and his wife remained on the claim, while he drifted away with the other woman. Next he flashed up in the territory as a deputy marshal, and finally a reward was set upon his head for murder and robbery. They killed him last Friday near Ooffee rille, after he had had almost as exciting a career as the Daltons, Starrs, and Doof ans. On Monday It won learned that Ix>ul*e, his wife, being blind almost, Hnd loving Rogers as she did, had cither died of a broken heart or had suicided. The man who once owned Rattlesnake City died a fugitive and a pauper. —An Earner Tragedy.—“Ha!” She glanced at tne clock. 'lt is ioo late." She contemplated the vial in her hand.

RAILROAD!\<; l\ TIRKBY. fev*re Discipline That Applies to I'RMrngrra ns Well us Trainmen. From the Chicago Record. Henry C. FinkelsteJn, who has been con nected with Turkish railroads for some years, gives me some interesting facts concerning the transportation system In the sultan's dominions. The total railway mile ige In Turkey is now 3.123, the princi pal Hens being from Constantinople to Bellova via Adrainople and Fhillippopolla. miles; from Smyrna to Alden, 607 miles, with branches in different direc tions. The discipline on the Turkish roads Is very severe. Negligence is punished with heavy penalties, and if a collision occurs all employes who share in the responsibil ity are likely to be sent to prison and If any one Is killed or Injured under sen tences for long terms. Employes of the road who are injured in service receive pensions and if the injuries prove fatal their families are provided for. The law requires railroad companies to provide for the families of persons who are killed on their lines by accident, and those who arc Injured receive compensation to cover their board, medical attendance and loss of-wages as long as they are unable to pursue their accustomed avocations. At the same time there Is a penalty of $1 for walking upon a rallroud track in Turkey for every offense. Cattle and other ani mals found on the right of way of rail ways can be confiscated by the com pany. although the owner can redeem them by paying 25 cents each for uheep, dogs, goats, hogs, and other small ani mals. It costs $2.50 to get a cow or horse out of a railway pound. Animals that are not ransomed within a given time are sold at auction for the benefit of the rail way company, watch, however, miHrt re turn to the owner any suit) in excess of the line imposed by law and the cost of keeping the animal w’hile In charge of the company. All articles left by travelers in the cars or in the station houses are also subject to similar rules. They can be re deemed upon the payment of a fee. and at the end of a cretaln period all articles not redeemed aro sold for the benefit of the company. Every passenger must be in his seat when the last row: sounds, a few mo ments before the departure of n train. Travelers buying tickets must present the exact amount of money to the ticket agent, otherwise he Is authorized to charge a commission of 4 per cent, for making change, w hich goes Into his own pocket. Local tickets are good only for the trains for which they are sold and will not be redeemed; but through tickets will be ipted on 111 tr.-iins within the limit of time indicated upon them. Children un der 3 years of uge travel free, and be tween 3 and 7 are carried at half rates. All gendarmes, prisoners of state, police men and other officials are carried at half fare upon the presentation of a cer tificate of identity called an “ilmihabur.” Army officers and soldiers are carried for one-third fare noon the presentation of an “ilmlhaber. SoldlerH traveling on duty for the government are carried free upon the presentation of a “pestle” certificate. Passengers found upon trains without tickets are required to pay three times the full fare between the place where they •darted and the first station reached after they are discovered, when they are allow ed to buy a ticket for the rest of their Journev at the regular rate. One hundred pounds of baggage Is al lowed for every ticket, but the traveler has to oav 3 cents for having his trunk checked. The oriental express and trains from Constantinople to Vienna (forty four hours) and to Paris (seventy-two hours) run twice a week and carry first class parlor and sleeping cars. Similar trains run between Smyrna and Alden. after the scraps. Even Though n Millionaire He Dill Not Propose to Allow AVoste. From the Chicago Record. Another story illustrative of the dally life of a Chicago millionaire may help to explain why some people have more money than others. This millionaire Invited a visitor from another city to meet him at a certain hour anil accompany him to the sto?k yards, where he has large interests. The millionaire rode up In a sidebar buggv somewhat the worse for mud and wear, drawn by a shaggy but active horse. He explained that before starting for ihe yards he would have to go to one of the large hanks down town, as he was on the board which regulated loans, ant he had to pass on an application for a loan of $500,000. They slopped in front of the hank, and the licit ntan hurried In and remained several minutes. He came out on a run and they started rattledy-bang for the stock yard* and Paekingtown. When they arrived and wero entering the packing house they saw an old man sorting out into barrels a heap of bones and fatty remnants. The bones wore trimmed and put into one barrel and the flesh and fat into another barrel. The millionaire owner of the place walked over to the workman and began asking questions. Then he drew off his coat, rolled back his shirt sleeves to tho shoul der ami began rummaging among tho bones. He found several which had not been properly stripped, and the workman received a scolding which he will remem ber all his life. The stripping of these bones was just as important as the loaning of $500,000. SHIPPING FROZEN MILK. A Process ley Wliieli It tins fleen Successfully Sent lo England. From the New York Post.
