RICHEST AMERICAN YOUTH
Marcellus Hartley Dodge, by many
millions the richest youth in. the
United States, probably attracts less
attention among those who do not
know him than any other student in
:erested in the commencement exer
ises at Columbia university, New
Ykrk, this year.
He is still under 20, tall and slen
der in appearance, with dark eyes
ldi a pallid complexion, that shows
his devotion to his books. Alfred
3ywnne Vanderbilt received under
his father's will, after all other be
quests had been paid, about $54,Q00,
000. Marcellus Dodge received up

ward of $60,000,000 under his grand
father's will a few months ago.
His riches have not c anged his
manner of life. He still lives in one
room just as he has done since he
first began to prepare for college. It
is too far for him to walk to Colum
bia, but wherever he has to go with
in two or three miles of his home
he walks simply to save car fare.
He is economical almost to the
point of penury. He dressed well, as
befits an under-graduate, but never
showy. About the only extravagan
ces that he has at present are clothes
and books.

Harvard AiHn q .Traknp.
Two tramps '&aPiq l; for' work re
cently at the hpme of Frank C. Shaw,
in Fishkill ,village, Duchess county,
INew York. The two men were put to
work hoeing weeds.' When Mr. Shaw
saw them in the morning he turned
to one of them and said. "I think
I know you, but I cannot femember
where I have seen you."
"Yes," said' the tramp, "I know
you. For a year I sat in'a seat behind
you at Harvard."
The men shook hands, and the wan
derer asked Farmer Shaw not to dis
close his identity.
Statesman's Peculiar Position.
Mr. Combos, the new French prime
minister, was formerly a priest and
as the real executive will now" be 1
charged with the enforcement of re
cently passed statutes which will
drive half of the priests from France I
out of the country.
Honor to Boer Leaders.
Gen. Kitphener has testified a good
Smany tles .to9 the courage and fight
ing abilities "of the Boers. In his
latest communication to Gens. Botha,
Delarey, and De Wet, he puts on rec
ord his appreciation. "of the unflag
ging energy and unfailing tact" of the
3oer generals in carrying out the
terms of surrender. Within a few
days the Boer leaders secured the
surrender of nearly 17,000 fighting
men and turned in their arms. They
redeemed their promises in the same
spirit that Gen. Lee and his subordi
nates carried out their promises after
Appomattox in 1865.
Case of Open Bribery.
On :"suspension day" in the national
House of Representatives all little
bills to which there are no objection
go through at the rate of about one
a minute. The speaker calls the yeas
and, nays, but nobody answers and
he declares the measures passed. One
day Major Dick of Ohio, had one of
t.hese bills in charge. When the title
was read he said: "This bill ought
to go through with a noise. I will
give a street car ticket to every man
who will vote for it." Half a dozen
members voted yea and each gravely
collected his bribe from the Ohio man.

of Henry Bennett of New York, has

time and announces that she will not
return to the stage. Miss Biggar is
the divoroed wife of Burt Haverly,
the well-known comedian. She began
her stage career about fifteen years
ago and made her most pronounced
success in the part of the widow in
Hoyt's "Trip to Chinatown." Miss
Biggar is one of the most beautiful
women of the American stage. She
was a clever actress and very popular
with the play-loving public.

and who is reasonably satisfied with
the old, we would suggest that a trial
of Defiance Cold Water Starch be
made at once. Not alone because it is
guaranteed by the manufacturers to
be superior to any other brand, but be
cause each 10c package contains 16
oza., while all the other kinds contain
but 12 ozs. It is safe to say that the
lady who once uses Defiance Starch
will use no other. Quality and quarn
