Rich Men An- Not the Ones Who I'll ilcrstnntl the Philosophy. Truxton Renle, formerly United States minister to Greece, believes thut millionaires need education in regard to the proper manner of spending their money, no says that union 1: the men iinsscsscd of millions tlioro exists a fnllacy in relutlon to their wealth, which fal acv was exposed bv Adam Smith In tho very your In which wo started on our national life, nnd that Is that speudtlirlf t expenditure Is a good thing for society. This Idea pertains to 11 great extent umong tho millions ns well as among tun millionaires. Mr. Bcnlo suys: "Despite tlio fnct tlint every grout economist slnco Adam Smith has demonstrated the contrary. It Is 11 fallacy thut bus not yet been rooted out of the minus or n largo majority or even tlio educated, iniieeu. 11 miKiu no canon tnc pons uslnorum of economics. There urn so few even of eollego-bred men who hnvo ever Klven themselves tho trouble to under- slnnd the subject In tho nbstrnct, and of those few some tiro constantly stating propositions that nro altogether Incon sistent. "If Adam Smith, when he first exposed tho fallacy of tills belief n century nnd u quarter ago, Implied n responsibility on tho pari 01 ino citpiiuiiHi 10 expend ins money In wnvs that would he 1.111st benellclal to society, or ut least in ways not harmful to it, that responsibility must be much henvlor today, with capital so onorm-uisly increased und coneentrnted. It Is surprising, too, that tho question of expenditure of tlio llch should have suddenly hecomo u more serious nuestlnn Willi us thnn It Is with miv nf tho countries of the old world. When Adam Smith wrote we were a hard-work lug community, engaged In the simple occupations of clearing forests and killing Imlluns, while todny palnres have arisen mi nitr shores tirnhnhlv ns tnaunltleent ns Hint of Dlnolethm nt Spnlato und 11 scnlo of iinnroiluetlve expenditure has been In Itlnted, with rucliig stables, oeean-golng yachts, etc., Unit could not possibly have been equnled by the expenditure oven of Mneoonas. It Is thiH thnt iustlllOH 11 re insertion of some of tho axioms of economics in regiird to it. "When tho millions us well us tho mil llnnalres thoroughly iiudorstunil that ubsurd and vulgar expenditure 1 111 noverlshes society und cheeks the nroduc Hon. und when they learn that there Is no economical Justification for tho present vast, unproductive expenditure, then public opinion will compel the 'mullls' to expend their fortunes In ways that will bo more in accordance with simplicity und gont taste The vulgarity of wasting wealth will bo nil tho clearer when Its effect upon the public wealth is understood, nnd no sound public opinion on the subject can bo formed until the public understands tho purely economic sine 01 tne question. Happiness is hut another namo for por feet health. Use l'rickloy Ash Hitters and bo happy. It lteops the vital orgnns healthy nnd well regulated.

Mndr III Tills ('oiin(r) lij- Millions An- luillllj- ror Home e nud lporl. "The lamp chimney." said a man ncnunlnted with tho trndo to n New York Sun reporter, "seems n simple sort of thing, but thcro nro not many things of more common use tho world over, nnd In tho aggregate the number sold Is enormous. In this country thcro aro 12,000 men and boys employed lit making lamp chimneys, and the chimneys produced number mil lions annually. Tho greater number aro now mado west of tho Allegheny inoun tnlns In Pennsylvania, Ohio nnd lndlnnn, where the majority of tho glass works of the country nro located, tunny of them In tho natural gns regions. 'The fl ret glass works in tho country was established in Boston, ami formerly tho glnssmnkltig Industry was principally In the cast. Now thcro nro not nearly so many glass factories hero ns there onco wore." One not familiar with tho business might bo surprised with tho great vnrloty in which lamp chimneys nre made. Lamps nro Hindu in these dnys In very great va riety hy many makers, ud of course there nro mado chimneys snl?(;blif ffr all nf them. Thcro Is ono American lnmp chimney mnkcr who, counting sizes nnd styles, pro duces COO varieties. Among tho great va riety of chimneys mado thcro nro eomo that nro of common use everywhere, nnd then there nro soino that nro specially suited to demands In this or thnt part nf tho country and aro not In demand In other parts. 'Lamp chimneys arc not only mado In far greater variety than formerly, to lit per fectly uvery sort ot lamp, hut they nro also mado better thnn ever. In fact lamp chim neys hnvo advanced with everything else. But enormous nnd Increasing ns tho produc tion tho demand scarcely keeps pneo with the lncrciiso In population, this being especially truo of cities In which gns Is more and more used, nnd hero In Now York, for Itistnnce. by users through slot gns ninchlnj's, which havo somo Influence on tho sale of lamp chimneys. Still tho num ber of lamps used hero Is enormous. There aro plenty of people burning gas, for In stance, who hnvo as well three or four lamps, und the number ot pcoplo hero who uso lamps alone for the purpose of Illum ination Is very great. There aro used In New York nnd Its vicinity millions of lnmp chimneys annually. "Thcro aro received In this city from western manufacturers, for domcatte con sumption, I suppose about four carloads ot chimneys weekly, running from 1,500 to 2,000 dozen chimneys to tho car. Theso aro sold to Jobbers, who distribute them through their trndo to customers in tho city und lierenbouta nnd to customers nt greater or less dlstunces away. Perhaps half of theso chimneys, or rather more, tiro used In tho city or within fifty miles of It. To the chimneys thus brought hero nro tu Im added those produced here, tho eastern chlmnoys being mado chiefly for tho local trade and for export. "Wo import a fow lamp chlmnoys of thu cheapest and ot thu best grades, tho cheap chimney from (icrmuuy and tho costlier from Prince, but tlicso imports cut only n small llgurn in tho total consumption and wo export lamp chimneys in great quan tities. Wo send very few to Europe, though wo do sell them somo of our 1-tst chimney. Rut outside of Europe wo sell lnmp chimneys everywhere. Wo como Into competition In somo parts of tho world with tlio Gcnnnns, who mnko chlmnoys very cheaply, but our exports nro Increasing ni'd wo send chimneys, as I said, everywhere to Mexico, tho West Indies, South America, Soutli Africa, China in fact to nil lands In which lamps aro used, all around the earth." HANDY WITH II IS IMUCES. Lively Knockdown and DriiKont on n Crow lied Train. An exciting cplsoilo occurred In a city line train of tho Kings county "L" nt C o'clock tho other night, reports tho Brook lyn Citizen. Tho train was leaving the bridge shortly after C o'clock with tho usual rush. Tlio cars wcro crowded, aB is tho regular order, nnd Just ns thu gates woro about to bo closed sovoral men mado a rush for tho train aud succeeded In get ting aboard of It. Ono of Iheuo cnrrled n valine and ns ho wns hustled Into tho car hy tho guard ho mado his wny with dilllculty within. Ho had but JiiHt got within tho car nnd tho gate was closed, when suddenly n man Jumped up and without saving n word hauled off nnd hit him a smacking blow on tho Jugular. Tho man with the sachcl stood dazed for a moment nt the unexpected suddenness of tho blow und then, suddenly realizing thnt he hnd been struck without cause, ho squared olf und, singling out tho mail who struck him, ho went up to him and asked htm to stand up. Tho man, who was nearly n foot tailor than his victim, stood up, und then the smaller man said, laud enough for till In the car to hear him: "You hit mo without cause.; now tlofend yourself." Then tho spenkor shot forth his right arm and tho big man went down. He uroso In a minute and rushed nt IiIh antagonist, ap parently to nbnlhllate him. When ho nr rlvcd at reaching distance, ho recolved an other left-handed hook, which placed him "hors dli combat." Ho was down and out. In n moment tho enr was ullvo with ex citement. Sevcrul passengers who wero ev idently friends of the vanquished man went nt his victim with clenched lists, but tha latter, while only a llttlo man, was of the right sort of stuff. As fnHt us these men enmo within reach ing dlstnnco they went down with well de livered blcws. In a few moments tho car presented tho sight of sovcraj, men lying prostrated, while tho llttlo man with flash ing eyes stood his ground, ovldently ready for nil comers. It took but u few blows to annihilate nil tho fighting proclivities of tho would-bo champions of tho man who struck tho first blow, nnd then, ns tho victor stood llkq n gladiator of old Homo surveying his vic tims, ho 811I1I: "My name Is Captain Georgo Hoff; I live In East Now York; If any of you want sat isfaction, hoo you later." Nobody wanted satisfaction, apparently, nnd tho train proceeded without further trouble. Idoiillf Iiir bi' Clnsa. Chicago Post' "I don't recall Hecing you at college.
