Dumas the younger honors the memory of his 
father, one of whose dramas he has recon¬ 
structed. He says: “ To know the author of 
the piece Is not easy. The public shall decide. If 
It succeeds, It is my father’s; If It fails, It Is 
mine,” 
Mark Hopkins, the treasurer and brains of the 
Central Pacific Railroad, who died childless, leav¬ 
ing 113,000,000, wore shabby clothes, dug his own 
garden, picked up bits of old Iron when ho saw 
them, worked until two o’clock In the morning, 
wrote more on a page than most business men 
put on sheets, and paid thirty-five dollars a 
month rent.

21,179 in Leitrim, making In all 95,619 acres. Of
