A Vlnillrntlon ol the Charge *
Mndo Aclnit Him ,
3. A. IlofT , formerly local freight Rgcnt of
the Hock Island , received a telegram from
the headquarters of the company In Chicago
yesterday afternoon , the contents of which
will bo n source of pleasure to all of his
friends In this city , as It certainly was'to
him. The chocking up of the books after
the shortage In CashlorJ , P. Christiansen's
books was discovered has been completed
nnd the results wore telegraphed to Chicago.
Yesterday a reply came , stating that Mr.
Gcorgo H. Dnnton would occupy the position
of local freight agent In place of Mr. Uoft" ,
nnd that the latter would bo promoted to the
position of commercial agent.
The position of commercial npont Is a now
ono , and was created especially for.Mr. Koff.
Its duties will call him out nmonir the business
men ot the city , Instead of keeping him
cooped up in tin ) llttlo olllco in the southern
part of the city as bcforo. Ills business will
bo to work up trade for the road , and the
growth of business the Koclc Island has seen
during the past fo\v years Is n sunk-lent In
dication of his qualifications for the placo.
The dry details of the oflfco will bo taken oft
hU hands and the outsldo work which will
fall upon his shouldcts Is much more to his
liking.
Mr. Holt has been wishing for this kind of
a windfall for years , and now that It has
como ho Is elated , as ho has a right to DO.
The work Is nioro agreeable and the pay Is
hotter , two considerations which nro , of
course , highly satisfactory. But the best
part of the promotion , as ho looks at it , ts
the fact that the company in making it com
pletely exonerates him from "all charges of
crookedness that have been made a.zatnst
him. Whatever was wrong with the books
has been credited up to his underling , \vhcro
it belongs , nnd the charges which are made
by the underling have been fully investi
gated. The fact of the promotion tolls , in a
far clearer manner than words could , Just
what the olllClals of the company thought of
Mr. Kofi's way of doing business.

Old timers who have scon Lake Mamma
In all of Its phases of beauty , when reflect
ing the smiles of n perfect sky or lashed In
fury by a storm , agree that they
never saw the lake so beautiful
as It was last night just before
and nftor sunset. Tlio .surface was as
nmooth and polished as a mirror , and magni-
llod In reflecting the rich coloring of sky nnd
cloud. The only thing that broke the glassy
surface was the ripple of a passing boat or
the graceful gliding of n train of stately pel
icans that had stopped to refresh them
selves on their voyage around the
world. There wore many people to
enjoy the perfect beauty of the scene , an d
huso who had a spark of artistic instinct
ii their souls felt it stirred ns It had never
men stirred before. When the shadows
row denser and obscured nil but the bolder
lutlincs of the lake shores , songs and music
rom a dozen boating parties added a new
harm , nnd there was nothing wanting to
imlto a picture that appealed to the hotter
ilcments in the human composition.
There were several carriage and tallyho
larties from Omalia , including V. S. Potter
lid friends , who thoroughly enjoyed the
ivening.
There will bo band music at the lake this
venlng , besides the ether usual attractions ,
nd if the conditions nro anyways nearly ns
'avorablo as they were last night an hour or
wo at the lake will afford exquisite enjoy
ment.

II. Bennett , manager of the ofllco of the
Western Iowa Insurance Inspection bureau ,
has issued a circular to all the companies
doing business In this vicinity authorizing a
raise in Hro Insurance rates of " 0 per cent ,
commencing Immediately. Accompanying
the order Is a circular giving the reasons for
this action. It states that the losses and ex
penses for the various companies for the last
four years ending December ill , 1892 , have
amounted to $4i7-UH,720 : ) , whllo the gross
receipts have only been 18 ,1157,818 , which
leaves u not loss of fS.MO.Uor on the four
years buMnebs , Thus , according to these
llguros , the lire Insurance companies have
been doing business at 'J per cent less than
the actual cost , which accounts for the fail
ure of ono company every week , on the
uvrraga Mr , Uionnett attributes the In-
cre.isu in the number of 11 res to the use of
electricity , gasoline stoves ami other modern
improvements , and thinks the Increase of
risk demands a corresponding Increase in
the rates of Insurance.

WHAT EVERY MAN IS WORTH.
The Chemical Compound * of an Avoraeo
Voter Are Yulue < l nt 818,300.
An interesting exhibit at the National
museum shows the physical ingredients
which go to make up the average man ,
weighing 154 pounds , says the American
A.nalyist. A largo glass jar holds the
ninety-six pounds of water which his body
contains. In other receptacles are three
pounds of white of egg , a little le/s than
' : en pounds of pure glue without which
.t would bo impossible to keep body and
soul together 13J pounds of fut , 8t
pounds of phosphate of lime. 1 pound of
carbonate of lime , 3 ounces of sugar and
starch , 7 ounces of fluoride of calcium ,
(1 ounces of phosphate of magnesia and a
'ittlo ordinary table salt. Divided up
nto his primary chemical elements the
same man is found to contain 07 pounds
of oxygen enough to take up , under
ordinary atmospheric pressure , the
space of a room 10 feet long , 10 feet
wide and 10 feet high. His body also
holds 15 pounds of hydrogen , which , un
der the same conditions , would occupy
somewhat more than two such 'rooms as
that described. , To these must Do added
3 pounds and 13 ounces of nitrogen. The
carbon in the corpus oi the individual
referred to is represented by a cubic
foot of coal. It ought to bo a diamond
of the same size , because the stone is
pure carbon , but the National museum
has not such a ono in its possession. A
row of bottles contain the ether elements
going to mulco up the man. These are
4 ounces of chlorine , 3J ounces of fluor
ine , 8 ounces of phosphorus , 3 } ounces of
brimstone , 2 } ounces of sodium , 2i ounces
of potassium , one-tenth of an ounce of
iron , 2 ounces of magnesium , and 3
pounds and 13 ounces of calcium. Cal
cium at present market rates is worth
$300 an ounce , so that the amount of it
contained in ono ordinary human body
has a money value of $18,300. Few of
our follow citizens realize that they are
worth so much intrinsically.

THE SOCIAL DJJT OF HELEN GOULD
A Co nil up ; Kvent' lf > Which Notr York So
ciety U Interfiled The Uimnttiniliis
You ME Womnn Whole Fortune l
EltlniRtt'ti nt 810,000,000.
Among the many social debuts that
will take place in Now York during the
coming winter the ono that will oxclto
the most interest is that of llolen M.
Gquld. only daughter of the great
financier and his favorite among all his
children.
The entrance into society of this young
woman is likely to be accompanied by
not a little stir and comment. Miss
Gould has passed the ago when young
women are as n rule introduced to the
social world in a formal way. She is no
longer a young girl in tbo strict sense of
the word , for in the matter of yearn she
is very fairly into the twenties and is
grave and womanly beyond her years.
She will represent $15,000,000 or more
of her own , all good hard cash , or , what
is as good , railroad securities whoso
tendency Is ever upward , and property
that is always increasing in value. She
owns the splendid Fifth avenue resi
dence her father so long occupied , and
the great mansion at Irvington-on-tho-
Hudson , where the Gould family spent
the summer. These great properties
are the exclusive possession of Miss
Gould , and they are gorgeously and
completely furnished throughout. To
gether they arc worth quite $1,500,000.
So , whllo Jay Gould in hia lifetime
had many and HorcocriticB.and til though
that sometimes nebulous clamant known
as the best society rather looked down
on the famous money maker , there is
no likelihood that his daughter will bo
cavilled at unless it bo by ambitious
matrons with young daughters of their
own in the market for disposal to the
highest legitimate blddo.
Miss Helen Gould is not strikingly
handsome , but she is very sweet and
womanly in her manner. She need not
fear that she will become a languishing
wall llo wor in the ball and reception
rooms that she will figure in during the
social season now drawing near. Her
recommendations to favor are too many
and too weighty.
But as for fortune hunters , they may
as well keep their distance. Along with
her mother's amiability and sweetness
of character she has much of her father's
keenness and strong common sense.
Hence , while 8119 , will bo a bud worth
the plucking , tho.man who would per
form that feat must look well to him
self , for ho will' have no gushing damsel
to deal with. "
Few young women who figure or rca
soon to figure in New York's social whirl
are so little known as is Helen Gould.
Even the leaders ; in the circles where
she is to enter donot know the young
woman well. They know , to bo sure ,
that she is the daughter of the late Jay
Gould , that she is said to bo a good and
charming girl and that she is enor
mously rich. Their fund of information
runs out at this pbint , and they are wait
ing with some curiosity to add to it by
means of porsoriaji observation.
The soqial debut of Miss "Gould has
been delayed considerably beyond the
time that .it would have been made by
the deaths of her father'and mother.
There was never a daughter raoro devoted -
voted to her mother than was Helen
Gould to hers during the latter's de
clining years. The two were very like
in temperament , and their constant com
panionship made the daughter the coun
terpart of her mother in disposition and
manners a result that was good for the
young girl , for while the wife of Jay
Gould never figured in society , but
always shrank from so doing , she was
none the less a superior woman in many
ways.
The death of this mother throw the
young girl upon her own resources. She
could not enter into society , and , indeed ,
had no wish to do so. Instead she de-
otod herself to her father , who had be
come partly an invalid , and up to the
time of his death she was his mainstay
and his solace in his hours of Buffering
and sickness.
And .w it is that Miss Gould will enter
nto society a comparative stranger to
ts members.
Those who know Helen Gould give evi
dence that she is attractive both in ap
pearance and manners. Rather retiring
and unassuming , shobtill has that power
to charm that marks some young women
of more than ordinarily quiet demeanor.
She is not what would bo called a beau
tiful woman , but she is a handsome ono
taken from either a man's or a woman's
point of view.
Of medium height , Miss Gould is a
brunette , but not a very pronounced ono.
Her hair is dark , but not of the inky
blackness that marked her father's hair
und beard , and her eyes are of the unde-
finable shade that is neither dark nor
brown , but that seems to change and
alternate. Her features are strong with
out the hard lines that were worn into
her father s face , and they are further
softened by the sweeter nnd more
amiable traits that came to her from her
mother not strictly beautiful , as has
been said , but still a woman whoso face
would command more than a passing
glance no-mutter where seen. She is of
graceful figure and the walk of ono used
to pedestrian exercise. Such is the
greatest heiress in America as she is
peon today.
Miss Gould's name has rarely , If fjver
appeared in those papers that assume to
servo up the small boei1 of New York so
ciety to those who like that sort of
thing. Nor dOjiyou often see it in the
great dailies. i.But . when you do it is al
ways connected with some act of bonovo-
loneo that has been performed so quietly
that even tho"keou-eyod reporter has
stumbled ovoi1 It by sheeraccident. .
Work among"1.the city poor was Mlbs
Gould's hobby"ubforo her parents died ,
(
and since thcirdeiith she has had more
time and moijo. mc'iin's to continue the
worn. - , j
Jay Gould IiJmsolf never posed as a
benevolent man 01-11 philanthropist. Ho
used to say iVVas of no use that he
would bo'inorely .assailed , and would not
have hit * motives questioned. That ho
was in a wayj'rlght was shown when
about a year betoro his death there was
a meeting hold Ih his hottbo on Fifth ave
nue to further church work in Now
York. Ho did not originate the idea
The ministers asked permission to moot
in his house. Ho gave the permission ,
and he gave in audition his pomona
check for $10.000 to help the work in
hand , and in addition cheeks for smaller
amounts in the name of other members
of hib family. For this G.mld win bcuri-
fied by the press , religious and secular
whice pronounced him an ostentatious
hypocrite and several ether things bo
sides. . It was his first and lust export
ment of the kind , According to the
New York Herald it was hiu daughter
who hod brought the affair about , hop
ing for a very ditfurent verdict on her
father's action. After this affair she
acted as his ulrnonor and his numo never
figured in her workalthough his check :
book was practically at her command. ;
Miss Gould's method of doing good i
> ractical. She does not Bond a check to
his or that charity and then rest In
weot content , her duty done. Her
method Is more like the parish visiting
j-Btoni that great ladles In England
ometlmes aflect as a fad rather than
or a better reason. Jay Gould and his
timlly were attendants at the church of
) r. .John K. Pax ton , who preaches to
nero wealth , perhaps , than any other
mstor In Now York. Miss Gould when
n Now York always identifies hornclf
vlth all the mission nnd benevolent
organizations connected with this
church and has always stood as ready
to do real work as to contribute In
money. She has acted as a Sunday
school teacher and , being a sweet-
omporod young woman , was a success.
As a volunteer parish worker she has
> een Invaluable , for whllo being gen
erous her strong common sense "kept her
rom being humbugged by chronic
mupors.
Her favorite homo is her late father's
minmor house at irvington , upon whlcli
le spe-nt a fortune , and to good ad van-
ago. The house remains her property
and Miss Gould spends much of the
summer there , to the great satisfaction
if the poor of the neighborhood ,
rtuch was written during. Jny
Sould's lifetime of the splendid hot-
louses connected with his Irvington
ionic , In which almost every known
chid of rare plants and flowers is ctiltl-
ated regardless of cost. It Is said that
.ho famous financier used to smile grimly
vhon complimented upon his skill and
pstf ? In floriculture. Asa matter of
act the miiltl-mllHonatro had very little
do with his conservatories save to foot
ho bills. Ho liked flowers In a negative
ort of way , as ho liked most of the
hings that his favdrito did , but heloft
ho management of the flowers to his
laughter and the expert floriculturist
vhom he employed.
Miss Gould has always been more
[ Uiot In her tastes than most young
vomen of large means. It is and has
icon with them the fad to go in for
ports and games of almost all sorts.
Yachting and coaching cotno first and
ess Important methods of enjoyment
allow in their order. Miss Gould haslet
lot , so far as Is known , displayed pro-
ielency in any of those linos. She is a
amous pedestrian and a good horse-
voman. Her retired life has made of
lor somewhat of a student and she Is a
killfiil musician. If she over had lltor-
iry tendencies , as nt ono time her father
lad , she has carefully concealed the
act. She is practically mistress of her
ast fortune , but it is not likely to suffer
at her hands , for she is said to have as
teen a mind for business as oven her
U'othcr George , now the head of the
ainlly and chief conservator of the vast
Gould interests.
' ArtcmimVar < l nnil Mark T\vnln.
Artemus Ward had a favorite trick
hat ho loved to indulge in , and out of
vhlch ho appeared to got a good deal of
original fun , says the Californian. This
vas the disbursing of a rigmarole of
nonsense in a solemn nnd impressive
nanner , as though ho was saying some-
hing of unusual weight and importance.
t was a game of mystification in which
10 greatly delighted. At a dinner
fiven him by leading Comstockers at
he International hotel , Ward played
lis trick on Mark Twain , all present
> eing let into the secret beforehand.
3o began an absurd exposition of the
vord genius , upon the conclusion of
vhich the embarrassed Mark was
obliged to acknowledge his inability to
comprehend the speaker.
' 'Indeed ! " exclaimed Artemus , and for
mlf a minute ho gazed at Mark with a
ace in which a shade of impatience
> egan to mingle with astonishment and
compassion. Then , heaving a sigh , ho
saidj "Well , perhaps I was not sufli-
cfently explicit. What I wished to say
vas simply that genius is a sort of illu
minating quality of the mind inherent
n those of constitutionally inflammable
natures , and whoso conceptions are not
of that ambiguous and disputable kind
which may be said "
"Hold on , Artemus. " interrupted
tfark. "It is useleses for you to repeat
your definition. The wine or the brandy
or the whisky or some other thing has
jono to my head. Toll it to mo some
) ther time , or , botte- still , write it down
'or mo and I'll study it at my leisure. "
"Goodl" cried Artemus , his face boam-
ng with pleasure. "I'll give it to you
tomorrow in black and white. I have
jcon much misunderstood in this mat
ter , and it is important that I should
pot myself right. You see that to the eye
of a person of a warm and inflammable
nature , and in whose self-luminous mind
deas arise that are by no means con-
Inod to the material which conception
tarnishes , but may be "
"For God's sake ! " cried Mark , "if you
o at that again you'll drive me mad. "
The general burst of laughter which
followed this feeling and half angry pro
test made it plain to Mark that Artemus
iiad been sot to work on him with malice
aforethought , and that all pre'sent were
in the plot and had been amusing them
selves at his expense.
