Although en- gaged in the pursuit of bis coaling, yet he was so delivered ..eoni sin and sinful affinities as to be able at any mement to quit the scenes of this world, step into the heavenly chariot and. sweep through- the skies to the paradise of God. Many centuries afterward he came, back to earth in compeuy with Moses, nutl on the glory -caped mount in coinpany -with the transfigured Ohrist talked of the Saviour's coming death. Here we have a clear evidence of the immortality of the soul.

Ten in the United States of Great Wealth. New York report -The report •from vaChicago, at Marshall Field, themer- chant of that city, pays taxes on a great- er amount of property than any other man in the United. Stattes, the total be- ing put at $40,000,000, called attention to the fact that in John Jacob Astor, New York City, is a close second, the latter being assessed for property worth $35,300,000. While Mr. Field spays taxes on $40,- 000,000 worth of Chicago property, this represents only a fraction of his wealth. Besides being interested. in numerous corporations and business enterprises, he bas large real estate holdings outside of Chicago, and is a large stock and. bond holder, especially in the Pullman, Palace Car Co. It is estimated that Mr, Field is worth bettveen, $250,000,000 and $300,- 000,000. John Jacob Astor is the only one of New York's rich. men whose real estate holdings are conaparable with. those of Mrs Field, being about $5,000,000 less in value than the Chicagoan's. William Waldorf Astor lives in London, but he pays taxes on $27,500,000 of real estate in this city. Andrew Carnegie leads the personal property list here, being as- sessed. for W.000.000. John D. Rockefeller is asessed for only $250,000,000, while Russell Sage pays taxes on $2,000,000. Pittsburg; has a resident, H. C. Frick, of coke and iron fame, who owns nearly $10,000.000 worth of taxed real estate, all in the city. Wealthy Boston's larg- est individual taxpayer is J. Montgomery Sears, whose contribution to the city is $67,917 yearly. Philadelphia's largest record against an individual taxpayer is $30,000,000 worth of real estate, the assessment of Wiliam laseightmet, who died several days ago. In Baltimore, Francis White's combined real estate and per- sonal property is $8,000,000. " Next to Mr. Field, in Chicago, the late Levi Z. Leiter paid taxes on the great est amount of real estate. Mr. Leiter's down town property amounted at the time of his death to $13,000,000. Otto Young probably is next to Mr. Field as a heavy taxpayer. His real es- tate boldings in the county amount to $10,000,0000,and his personal property assessmeni t s $200,000. In the last year Mr. Young has bought $4,000,000 worth of real estate. CORSET STEEL SAVED HER. Woman Shot by Her Husband Saved by Her Cdreets. New York, Sept. 5. -In a quarrel yes- terday morning George Wood, 30 years old, of 29 Willow Terrace, Hoboken, fired a. 32 -calibre revolver evith the -muzzle pressed resainst wife's breast. She fell to the floor with a scream and Wood jumped out of a back window and es- caped. ale woman was taken to St. Mary's Hoepital, where it was found that the bullet had struck a steel in the front of her corset, and, glancing down, had been imbedded in the oorset. The pow- der from the cartridge had made a bad burn, but the woman was otherwise un. hurt. The doctors at the hospital say that as the revolver was held at Such close range it is extraordinary that the bullet did not penetrate. Mrs. Wood, vsho is 28 years old, was formerly an actress. She would not give any information about the &mabits. Wood, it is said, Ms often threatened to kill his wife and himself, and it is thought that he may have tommitted enicide. AYLMER GIRL WINS TITLE.

Beyond. agreeing to one clause out of the nine in the Brit- ish demand, which provides for the relief of a couple of obscure Sikkinese prison- ers, the Thibetans have done nothing. .

Reoldeoco-.Catherloo The July report of the Provincial Board of Health 18 :most gratifying, as indicating a decided improvement in the health of the Province, as compared with the same month of hist year. A decided decrease both inathe nutnner of cases of infectious diseases and in the number of deaths recorded therefrom is reported. The onlysexception is in the case of tub- erculosis, from which an increase of 40 in the number of deaths is reported. This increase is, the department suggests, partly accounted for by the greater ac- curacy of the returns made' by the di- vision registrars, and does not indicate the actual growth of the white plague to the extent which the figures would. suggest. The most gratifying feature of the reportas the marked reduetion of smallpox, which is 55 per cent, -' of scar- let fever cases, a reduction of 51 per cent, in the number of cases,. and of 65 per tent. in deatha. Diphtherm cases re. ported were 29 per cent., and the deaths 03 per centless, while although an in - Crease of 18 per cent, was eported in the number of cases of typlusid fever, the mortality rate was 44 per cent. less.
