DR. PEARSONS HAPPY.
Aged Philanthropist Receives Many
Birthday Remembrances and
Congratulations.
Associated Press.
Chicago. 11).. April 15.—No boy ever
was happier with a birthday wagvn or
pair of skates than was Dr. D. K.
Pearsons, aged 90 years, philanthropist,
with the birthday gifts that a lon t '
stream of messenger* deposited at his
hon£ yesterday.
Ine aged philanthropist practically
had no relatives to remember his birth
day celebration—he has outlived them
ad—but the colleges and institutions
tbst have been the recipients of his
Charity for twenty-one years, ail remem
bered him. Where he had given mil
lions he received cakes, apples and mes
sages of congratulation, but these gifts
brought just as much joy to him as had
the money to the objects of his gener
osity.
There was a great box of flowers
from members of the faculty of Berea
college, a cake from the girls of the
same institution, a barrel of apples
from somebody who remembered that
he was born in Vermont, and a stack
of congratulatory notes and telegrams.

Chicago, Ill., April 15.—‘‘We must
wash our currency bills to prevent their

approached the ideal in our medium of
exchange,” said Eames MacVeagh. son

South Side Business Men’s association
last night.
Mr. MacVeagh exhibited a dollar bill,
half of which had been washed in

difference as in a clean collar and one
worn a week without change.
Mr. MacVeagh said that the govern
ment would save from $200,000 to $300,-
000 annually by washing its paper cur

was quoted today as saying, ‘‘bully,
in fact. I’ll be all right as soon as 1
