DEAD AT NEW YORK

Magnate Gone.

Started Life it, Captain'd Hoy In tile

For This Scot ion, K,tnblisliii.g Hail*
roads, Steamship Lines, Etc,
New York, June 24 — Henry B
Plant, president of the famous Plant
system of railways, steamships aud ho
tels, and of the Southern Express com
pany, died yesterday at his home on
HENRY n. PLANT.
Fifth avenue. The immediate cause of
his death was heart failure, brought on
by a general state of debility. No one
was with him at the last hour but bis
wife aud family physician. His only
child, Mr Morton F. Plant, was on his
private yacht off the coast of New Jer
sey and does net yet know of his father’s
death.
Mr. Plant had not been well since
last November, when on returning from
a trip to Florida he was suddenly
seized in his private car in the Jersey
City railway station here. His life was
despaired of, but he revived and went
back to Florida, where he has been able
to attend to his various business inter
ests during the winter season His
death was so sudden as to have sur
prised even those closest to him.
Henry Bradley Plant was a native of
Connecticut, being born at Branford on
Oct.27,1819. With only a common school
education he began the battle of life.
His first position was that of a captain’s
boy on a steamboat line between New
York and Now Haven.
In ISod he came south, locating at
Jacksonville, Fla., and connected him
self with the Adams Express company.
Ho finally organized the Southern Ex
press company and was elected its first
president. Afte* the war Mr. Plant
continued with the express company
ami was again and again elected its
president, never being out of that office
from the time of its creation up to the
time of his death.
In the latter seventies and early
eighties Mr. Plant made two or three
trips to Europe, and it was while ou one
of these trips that he conceived the idea
of building palace steamers for his lines.
How he curried out those plans iho
thousands who haxe ridden ou his steam-
ears know well enough.
After the war, along with his steam
boat lines, Mr. Plant projected a system
of roads which today reach far aud
wide. Ali Florida is touched by some
of his lines, cither a branch or a main
stem tapping sectu nsof the entire state.
Mr. Plant went on the theory that
the workmen were entitled to share in
the benefits of ids labors and the mag
nificent hospitals and the libraries that
mark stations in his territory show the
care and attention he gave those who
worked for him.

A ItltBcelliinewa* Collection,
There is nothing particularly enter
taining about passing the plate or col
lecting box through a congregation at
the best, bat the monotony of merely
dropping in coins is varied in qnito a
lively way in India, it scorns, from an
account given iu Tho Indian Witness of
a meeting nt Knhgnnj The writer says:
“At a signal, tho preaching table was
removed, a space was cleared, and tbe
giving began. With pencil in hand, 1
took an inventory ns rapidly as I conld,
for all moved ou very briskly and with
out any western tricks of fdmulatiou.
“Animals were ‘put into the hat’ A
frisky kid was led up by n string nnd
tied to tho horns of tho altar, or rather
leg of the preaching stand. Then came
a fine goat. A cock and heu were added.
Then came a brace of whistling chicks.
Grain was contributed. Wheat, barley,
peas, rice, sheaves and flour w’ere poured
into tho area. Clothing and jewelry
were piled on tho table, aud the list
runs: Coats, a shawl, stockings, tar
biiiis, cotton thread, ribbons, an um
brella and toe and finger rings. Sundry
things' flowed in, as eggs, sweets, spice*
books, a lotah, bread and a large pile of
wood. Two men, apparently brickmak-
ers, reported f>00 bricks contributed.
Cash jingled down aud cowries rattled.
Rupees 83 13-0 were counted up, and
there were several bits of promissory
scrip, which the brace of chicks sent
flying as they fluttered about. ’
A Feculiar Problem.
The Longbow gives some amusing
pieces of Lewis Carroll’s humor from
tho forgotten jjages of Oxford pamphlets.
During tbe election ut Oxford iu 186.7
he gave vent to the following Euclidean
definition:
“Plain superficiality is the character
of a speech iu which, any two point*
being taken, tho speaker is found to lie
wholly with regard to those two
points. ”
A note is also given oa tho right ap
preciation of examiners: “A takes in
ten books aud gets a third class, B take*
iu tho examiners and gets a second.
Fiud the value of tho examiuers in
terms of books; also their value in
terms when uo examination is held. ”
