Contributes Liberally to the
Earlham Debt Fund.
Joe Vey Also Cannot Read or Write English, but He Is Very Wealthy. Portland, Ore., May 22. Unable to read or write English, even to the exlent of signing his own name, and yet so rich he cannot state the extent of his acres, the exact number of his sheep or cattle or the amount of his wealth, Joe Vey. a native of Portugal, has shown in a striking way how the opportunities of the Pacific Northwest may be turned to account. Joe Vey is little more than 50 years old. He landed in Umatilla county. In Oregon, in 1887 with scarcely enough money In his pocket to pay for a square meal. He went to work as a range rider and by thrift and industry he has amassed a fortune calculated at a half million dollars or more. "I just figured it out that way," was his answer to the question as to how
he came to do it. While the other
cowboys with whom he rode the
range were planning how they could have the most hilarious time as soon
as they collected their wages, Vey
was figuring out how to avoid working
for wages ,all his life. Although he
has accomplished his purpose, and
need do no further "figuring," Vey
has found it impossible to retire and
spend an Inactive old age. He is
working just as hard today as when
he was struggling . to save money
enough to buy his first bunch of sheep, for it was with sheep that he
made the greater part of his fortune.
"How many acres have you all
told?" he was asked. For answer ie
held up both hands and shook " his head. Then, after a moment's pause, he said:
"Well, in Umatilla and Morrow coun
ties I have 25 or 26 sections. I purchased about 15,000 acres of loggedoff land in Union county recently and about five years ago I bought 16,000
or 17.000 acres in that district."
Vey is not a miser but a worker. He thought to retire a few years ago
and visited his old home in Portugal. He found he could not be satisfied to be Idle and is in theharness again and will be as long as he lives.

New pledges 1,175
Today'a total ..$13,431 Indianapolis again came to the sup
port of the Earlham debt fund today, adding to it $1,175 and carrying the total into a new notch. The eighteen
thousand mark has been passed and left behind. The fund is now in the

about to break into the twenty thous

Morton C. Pearson, chairman of the
campaign committee, says that the fund will reach (25,000 within a very few days.
"Our work could not be doing bet
ter." said Chairman Pearson today.
We are receiving pledges each day
at a rate that assures our ultimate success. The people understand the Importance of this movement and they
are giving it their loyal support."
Indianapolis figured again in the re
ports when the new pledges for today were added up. Every one of them, in fact, came from Indianapolis, there being eight men who contributed the total of $1,175.
So far the communities that have
made the best showing have been Kokomo, Indianapolis, Lewisville, New Castle and Spiceland. Many advance reports are being received which indicate good contributions in other places but no announcements are being made of any pledges until the signed cards are received and filed at headquarters.
The campaign In Wayne county (outside of Richmond) Is being conducted vigorously this week. No reports have yet reached headquarters from this territory, however.

Philadelphia, May 23. Local society, especially that portion of it which tends to conservatism, is breathing a sigh of relief that the warm weather for a time at least, will prevent "behind closed doors" functions, thus eliminating the zephyrs of scandal which have followed in the wake of the recent party given by Mr. and
Mrs. W. Yorke Stevenson in honor of the new society organization, the
Play and Players club." While the entertainment was given
some days ago in the old Wetherhill mansion, at-Eighteenth street and Delancey place, only has the news filter
ed beyond' the sacred portals that the
"the follies fantastique," as it was called, was brought to an abrupt termination by an irate neighbor, who. cloth
ed in pajamas, poked his head out of
the window at 3 o'clock in the morning and demanded of Walter Wheeler and Arthur Jackson:
"What the dickens do you mean,
singing a back yard duet at this hour and keeping the whole neighborhood
awake?"
: Forthwith the party broke up, but
some of the young people did not ad
journ to their' homes. One belated
couple got into the Stragglers club, where the succeeded in upsetting the stove, as well as the dignity of some regular members of the club. Their
ATTACKSCATHOLICS Pastor Creates Sensation at Louisville Today. -
(National News Service)
Louisville, May 23. Sectarianism created a Bensation at the general assembly of the Presbyterian church of the South today, when the Rev. Payner, of Virginia, introduced a resolution attacking the catholic church for "pernicious activity" and condemning

When needing a basket
exit was more hasty than graceful, after which they continued to argue on the sidewalk until a policeman advised them that home was the place for argument. According to reliable information,
the "follies fantlsque" was the warmest thing pulled off in Philadelphia society for many years. The Wetherhill mansion had been turned into a regu
lar "house of all nations." On one floor was a French cafe with society girls in dainty little caps and aprons running around with trays. What
Uhe trays contained provided for the
amusement later in the evening. For persons of a German turn of mind there was a rathskeller presided over by Arthur and Walter Wheeler, who recently broke into the limelight by playing "Ursus" and "Croten" in Natoma. But the piece de resistance was the Turkish room, made especially for a lounging place. It was beautifully decorated with the highest priced rugs and with the society damsels. There was by far more .decorations on the walls than on the damsels. The entertainment during the early part of the evening was of the staid conservative kind. There Was a reason because - among the gnests were such persons as Mr. and Mrs. Charlamagne Tower, Mr. and Mrs. Henry La-
Baire Jayne, Mr. and Mrs. John Read Pettit, Mr. and Mrs. Eli Kirk Price. Miss Helen C, Perot. Miss Emily Eh-
ret, Mr. and Mrs. Edgar M. Church, ' Mr. and Mrs, Ralph Townsend, Mr. ' and Mrs. Horatio G. Lloyd, Mr. and Mrs. John C, Groome, John Howard V McFadden and many others equally prominent. Until a few of the elder members of the society had decided they hed heard enough of the entertainment th younger people kept within bounds, but upon the leaving of the "conserva
tives'" the fun became fast and furious.
Mrs. Bob Drayton, who acted as one
of the barmaids, saw that there was
no thirsty person in the house and she kept the mugs filled to overflowing. It made no difference whether the drinker was overflowing or not Had not Messrs. Wheeler and Jackson insisted upon that backyard duet there is no tedding what might have happened. As It Is, the Wetherhills probably will sit up and take notice as to the happenings in their old mansion, but had they seen Mrs. Steele, who once was Mary Hatlehurst, endeavor to do a pas seul in a hobble skirt and come to a cropper on the floor they would turn in their graves.
Few people outside her family and: her most intimate friends knew until the other day that Queen Alexandria is an expert mandolinist. Her tutor, Senor Leopold Francia, has now told how he first met his royal pupil in 1895, when he was appointed director of the Ladles' Mandolin and Guitar Band orchestra.
