THE GREAT PHILANTHROPIST
OI (SEKVEI) PINT ANNIVER-
SARY TODAY.
HAS HELPED MANY SCHOOLS
He Made Many Handsome Gifts in
Commemoration of Today—In all
He Has Given to This Work Over
95,000,(MX).
Chicago, April 14.—Dr. D. K.
Pearson, the Hinsdale philanthropist,
celebrated his ninety-first birthday
today by giving away about $300,-
OOQ to the American Board of For-
eign Missions and a number of small
colleges or, as h© called It, “paying
his debts.”' Dr. Pearson called these
gifts "debts,” because in most cases
the sums are fulfillment of his
pledges to the institutions concern-
ed. Today's gifts were as follows:
American Board of Foreign Missions,
$100,000; Perea College, Kentucky,
$100,000; Doane College, Nebraska,
$25,000; Northland College. Wis-
consin, $10,000; Highland College,
Kansas, $10,000; McKendroe Col-
lege. $10,000; other small gifts,
$15,000.
Today's gifts bring the total of
Dr. Pearson's donations, mostly to
smaller colleges, during the last 25
years to about $5,000,000. in practi-
cally every case the venerable phi-
lanthropist. made the recipients of
bis bounty earn his gifts. They had
to raise by their own efforts, three
dollars for every dpllar which Dr,
Pearson contributed and the whole
became an endowment fund, only
the income from which to bo used
in many cases Dr. 'Pearson pledg-
ed himself years ago to contribute
certain sums to the endowment of
various small colleges and he con-
sidered these pledges his "debts,'
which he worked off as one after
another of the institutions complied
with the conditions upon which bis
gifts depended. Today's list of dona-
tions cleans up the elate of Dr
Pearson's “debts," and as he ex-
pressed it, he will be able tonight to
lie down to sleep peacefully, free of
debt for the first time in many
years.
The list of the colleges and other
institutions which have benefited by
Dr. Pearson's philanthropy, incudes
the following; Beloit College, Chi-
cago Theological Seminary, Whit-
man College, Colorado College, Be-
rea College, Mount Holyoke College;
Lake Forest College, Knox College;
Drury College, Yankton College, S.
D.; Carleton College; Fargo College,

Canadian Swimming < liampionsliips.
Montreal, April 14.—The speedi-
est swimmers of the Dominion are
entered in the Canadian swimming
championships, which are scheduled
for decision tonight and tomorrow
night in the tank of the Montreal
Athletic Association. The program
provides for the folowing events: 40
yards, 100 yards, 220 yards, 440
yards, diving and 160-yard relay
race for teams of four men each.
IT’S UNLIKELY
that the lion and the lamb would
lie down together, nor would any of
us care to have our lamb butchered
for us by the “king of beasts.”
Butchering these days Is both a
science and an art, and we believe
that we have taken master degrees
in modern methods. Another im-
portant thing, we believe in giving
good values In meats the same as in
other merchandise’ When you or-
der a certain cut and pay the price,
you are entitle dto lhat eut and not
an inferior one. Suppose you phone
us a trial order. Telephone 257.

To the ladles of the Civic League;
t note with a great deal oJ pride
the very fl.no work you ate doing In
this city and will say am sure It is
the wish of every progressive citizen
that you continue. However, there
is one or two things that 1 want to
call your special attention to.
We have a condition existing in
this county that doubtless few, If
any of you, have thought of.
1st. Do you knotf and under-
stand that at this time there is no
separate place to keep our boy crim-
inals? That the young tender boys
of our county who are unfortunate
and have to be putN^i jail are bound
to be placed in the same cells with
the hardened criminals, and that OS
times out of 100 whether guilty or
innocent, when turned out, are far
worse than before they were pun-
ished.
2nd. Do you know and under-
stand that in this great Christian
city that our poor unfortunate crazy
women, where It is necessary to re-
strain them, have to be placed in the
cells where women thieves, both
black and white and dissolute of
each color, are kept, bo It s&ld tb
the shame of whoever you may see
fit to rest the blame on, that such is
the case.
The writer begged for four years
to have these matters removed, but
to no avail. Now 1 want to be fully
understood, the sheriff Is not In any
way to blame for these conditions,
as he Is absolutely helpless, for
there Is only one place furnished by
the county to hold women, hence
when one is placed In his charge he
is bound to place her In the only
place provided.
1 am not a writer but feel that,
something should be done and not-
ing, as above stated, with a great
deal of pride, your work along oth-
er lines, thought, perhaps If you
would give these matters a little of
your very valuable time, you may
be Rble perhaps to accomplish some-
thing that should forever Immor-
talize your work in the,eyes of all
God-fearing and liberty-loving peo-
ple.

Outlook Bright at Churchill Downs.
Louisville, Ky., April 14. Every
succeeding day is adding to the
number of thoroughbred horses that
Hr^bolng stabled at Churchill Downs
In anticipation of the opening there
of the Bpring meeting of the Louis-
ville Racing Association. The num-
ber of entries this year eclipses all
previous records and has led the of-
ficials of the association to predict
one of the most successful meetings
that lias taken place hereabouts In a
long time. Nearly one thousand
horses are now quartered at the
track, including the cream of those
that took part in the meetings in
the south the past winter. Pari-mu-
tuel machines will be used at
Churchill Downs again th.is year.
Twenty-one machines will be put in
operation and it is said they will be
much superior to those used last
year.
Grape Fruit*.
Laredo, Tex., April 14,—Mr. Jno.
S. Kenedy of La Parra, who is cred-
ited with -being the first Texan to
make a marked success of Citrus
fruit growing has just, had an ex-
amination made of grape fruit
grown tinker his direction and the
horticultural experts ^making the
examination have announced that it
combines all the best qualities of
the grapefruit grown In California,
Florida and Mexico and that there
Is no superior fruit grown in any
other state in the Union.
The culture of citrus fruits de-
serves special investigation in Tex-
as. Its future can well stand on its
merits as there is a large area In
the southern portion of the state
that Is conducive to the growing
and cultivation of citrus fruits.
Texas Asphalt
Austin, Tex., April 14.—A rich
bod of asphalt has been discovered
near the mouth of the Rio Grande
river in Southwest Texas and there
is every reason to believe that vast
beds of this valuable paving mate-
rial exist in large quantities In that
section of the state.
Most of the asphalt used for pav-
ing in .Texas is Imported from Col-
orado and other states, the expert
geologists have declared the Texas
material equal in every parttcula
to that of Colorado.
Nature has given us large depos-
its of the best of road material and
we will need It in building 150,'
000 miles of permanent highways.

Missouri Republicans to Banquet,
Reminiscence* of the ifay That Pre-
ceded and of the Beene When the
Fatal Shot AVaa Fired In Ford's
Theatre.
Washington. D. C„ April 14.—
One of the notable anniversaries of
Important events connected with the
history of the civil war period In this
country, is the forty-sixth anniver-
sary of the assassination of Presi-
dent Abraham Lincoln, who was shot
and mortally wounded at Ford s
Theatre by John Wilkes Booth, an
actor, while attending a perform-
ance of “Our American Cousin," on
the evening of April 14, 1865. In
commemoration of the day the flags
on all public bulldjpgs were at half-
mast all day and commemorative
services were held by many of the
patriotic societies.
'l«e bloody sectional struggle be-
tween the north and tho south had
just^been ended by the surrender of
Gen, I.ee and the country was re-
joicing over the conclusion of the
civil war which had cost so many
preclouB lives and enormous sacri-
fices of money. President Lincoln
had been busy all day. In the morn-
ing he had a long conference with
his son, Capt. Lincoln, In the course
of which he dissuaded him from
continuing a military career, latter
in the forenoon the president at-
tended the last meeting with Uts
cabinet. All the members of the
cabinet wore present on tnat occa-
sion, excepting Mr, Seward, the sec-
retary of state, who bad broken hla
jaw by a tall from his horse. His
seat was occupied by Gen. Grant-
The terms of Lee's surrender were
discussed and approved, and Presi-
dent Lincoln strongly expressed him-
self against any harsh measures In
the south. ^
During the afternoon the presi-
dent received many visitors and
when the evening came, he was tir-
ed and would have liked to rest, but
he did not wish to dlsapjioint the
crowds at the theatre, and accom-
panied by the members of his family
occupied the Btage box, especially
decorated for the occasion. It waa
after the close of the first act that
Booth fired the fatal shot and es-
caped during the Indescribable ex-
citement following his deed. Lincoln
was carried to a tailor shop opposite
the theatre and there died early the
following’ morning.

MARLIN'S FAMOUS VWBLIdf
Tile Marlin Democrat of February
4th contained the following; “Rev-
erend W. L. A. Stranburg of. Hunt-
ington, Ark., who Is visiting In Mar-
lin for the baths. Is Improving rap-
idly, from a severe attack of rheu-
matism.
“To be exact Rev, Stranburg ar-
rived in Marlin, Saturday, January
21st in an invalid’s chair and
couldn't move a muscle. About ton
o'clock today he was able to walk
down town, without either cane or
crutches.
The above is only one among
thousands of what Marlin's famous
hot water can do for a person suf-
fering from rheumatism.”

Good Friday in giotliam.
New York, April 14,—New York
today observed Good Friday In ac-
cordance with established custom.
Special services were held In manj
of the churches with elaborate must
cal programs as one of the chief
features. The New York Stock Ex-
change and the other leading ex-
changes' were closed and will not
resume business until Monday.
One of the distinctive features of
the day that could scarcely cscai^
the eye of even the most casual ob-
server was the large consumption of
hot cross buns by all classes of the
metropolis. This custom of English
origin has gained a most surprising
foothod In New York In recent
ye^rs. The demand upon the bakers
for hot cross buns on Good Friday
has increased year by year until this
season, so local statisticians have
computed, several million were oft-
en by New Yorkers yesterday and
today.
