SADDLSTHORSES! A SPECIALTY
l
DISCOVERED CON EY ISLAND.
Austin Corbin was a Man of Many Elabor-
ate Projects.
Austin Corbin, the master spirit of
the intricate Long Island Railway sys-
tem, chief owner of Manhattan Beach
and leader in the restoration of the Long
Island wilderness to beauty and attrac-
tiveness, the discoverer of Coney Island
millionaire banker and financier of New
' York who was recently killed as a re-
sult of a runaway accident was a
unique figure in the world of finance.
Austin Corbin was born in Newport,
N. H., in 1827. His father was a law-
yer in the town and wanted to make a
lawyer of the son, and sent him to Kim-
ball Academy, at Meriden, N. H. Af-
ter graduation from the academy young
Corbin earned money enough to pay his
way through Harvard Law School,was
graduated there with honor, and went
back to Newport to practice law. This
was in 1848. He went out to Daven-
port,'Ia., a couple of years later and
practiced law there until 1854. In the
meantime he had made friends with a
banker named Macklot, and in 1854 they
formed the banking firm of Macklot &
Corbin, the only institution of the kind
in the city which didn’t suspend pay-
ment during the panic.
In 1873. while Mr. Corbin was spend-
ing a week in the neighborhood of
Coney Island, he became interested in
its possibilities as a summer resort and
began buying property there. In three
years‘ time he got possession of a large
part of the island, and then he built a
railroad to it and a great hotel on his
property. He had the secret of suc-
cessful advertising, and his hotel and
his railroad immediately became popu-
lar, and the natural attractions of the
island began to be realized by other
men of money. But he was ahead of
all, and had first call on about every-
thing there was’ to sell. He kept on im-
proving the property and it became im-
mensely valuable.
‘ It was a few years later that he be-
gan to move all Long Island ahead. He
went away down on the Island and built
himself a summer home. To get to it
he had to travel on the Long Island
Railroad, and the trains didn’t run to
suit him. He saw the possibilities of
development on the island, and he set
out to do the developing. He first got
control of the railroad and then he en-
couraged the building of homes. The
road, which was in the hands of a re.
ceiver when he got it, was on a paying
basis in two years’ time.
Mr. Corbin had a project for the con-
nection of the Pennsylvania and Long
Island railroads by means of a tunnel
road under the North and East rivers
from Jersey City to Brooklyn.
Mr. Corbin applied for the first ban
charter under the National Currency
law of 1863, and founded the First Na-
tional Bank of Davenport. Then he be.
gan to extend his operations East and to
seek railway investments, which after-
ward grew to such great proportious.
“There will be a :‘continuous line of
rail from the Atlantic to the Pacific be-
fore I die,” [said Mr. Corbin in 1861,
“and bring San Francisco within 15
days of London.”
"Where will the capital come from?”
he was asked.
“Never ask where capital will come
from,” he answered. “Produce a pay-
ing investment and capital will fall
over itself in trying to reach it. There
is enough money, credit and brains in
this country to accomplish anything
that will pay interest on the investment.
It requires work to accomplish great
things. and many will fall and fall in
the attempt, but others will march over
them and reach the accomplishment.
This road will come, and more railways
will be built in these United States in
the next twenty years that now exist in
the entire world, and I propose to have
a. finger in them.”
.Dolliver in “Filled Cheese." '
Congressman Dolliver, of Iowa, is
a friend and champion of honest cheese
at well as honest money. In his great
speech in favor of the Anti- filled Cheese
bill all lovers of sound logic and pure
cheese will find words of wisdom and
truth. Here are a few of the gems of
thought:
“The law has been a little slow in ~
coming to the protection of cheese—
probably because many varieties of
cheese have been thought able to take
care of themselves. It would seem for
example that ‘Limburger cheese now
safely domesticated in the district from
which my friend Mr. Sauerhering
comes, is endowed by nature with means
of defence that require very little as-
sistance from an act of Congress.
“I am Speaking of the victims of the
American boarding-house system, that
require very little assistance who eat of
cheese for the purpose of promoting
the digestion of pie and then have to
take another pie in order to secure the
idgestion of the cheese. -
“The world will not go on forever
buying coffee grains delicately moulded
out of blue mud. It will not go on
buying tea that has been generously
commingled.with the dried leaves of the
forest. It will not go on drinking
wine that has been manufactured in a
cellar without the intervention of
grapes, nor those other and more pene-
trating beverages that have been en-
tered into partnership with such a fatal
assortment of explosive chemicals as to
greatly facilitate the descent of our fel-
low citizens, as the old negro preacher
expressed it, down the lubricated steps
tothe opaque profundity of damna-
tion.
Nothing New.
Asker—Have you observed that the
young ladies at the theatres have been
lately taking their hats off? '
Tasker—That’s nothing new; the
paragraphers have been “taking them
ofi” for the last ten -years.—Yonkers
Gazette.
When a man flatters a woman it is
either because he is a fool or else be-
cause he thinks she is a fool. The
only compliment that ,is worth paying
or receiving is the one that has the
truth behind it. '

GRANT AND UNCLE BEN. '
{be President Remembered the Old Man
\Vho was Kind to Him.
D. R. Garrison told a story to General
Schofield, at the Dent House, which il-
lustrates to a certain extent the kind-
heartedness of General Grant. Grant
was a great lover of horses, and, while
he was President, he came on a visit to
St. Louis, and Mr. Garrison, at that
time President of the old Pacific road,
took him out to his farm. They started
off in a buggy for a drive, and, after
going some distance, met an old man
going along on a horse. The man was
in his shirt sleeves and wore a straw
hat, but Grant recognized him, and,
stopping the buggy, he got out and,
walking up to the old man, put out his
hand and said: “Hello, Uncle Benl
How are you and the old woman get-
ting along?”
The old man was Uncle Ben Sapping-
ton. He welcomed the President and
said he was getting along very well.
He remarked that they were happy as
long as they had enough to eat and a
pipe and a little tobacco.
“Uncle Ben, wouldn’t you like to be
postmaster of Meramee township?”
asked the President.
Uncle Ben said he would not object,
and Grant shook him by the handand
said: “God bless you and your wife,
Uncle Ben. I think of you often.”
When Grant got back in the buggy
the tears were streaming from his eyes,
and he said to Mr. Garrison: “Poor old
Uncle Ben! He has a big heart. I re-
member,” he said, “when I and my
wife, living in that house over there,
did not have any more ‘to eat than need~
ed, and old Uncle Ben would. come
around to the house at night and leave
a basket of provisions on our doorstep.
He was afraid to come and giVe them
to us, thinking that he would possibly
hurt our feelings. God bleSs his mem’
ory!”
Uncle Ben was made postmaster, and
after living to a ripe old age he joined
the great majority and was followed by
Grant a few years ago.
IA NOVEL EXPERIENCE.
Wiley was Arrested with
on Him.
James C. Wiley, formerly a ranch-
man of Greeley, was arrested by the
police a short time ago and locked up
on a charge of vagrancy, but when
City Jailer Hobart searched him he
found money in every pocket. the total I
footing up the very unvagrant like sum I
of $7,761.50. Immediately the charge
of .“vagrancy” was scratched off the l
police record and “concealed weapons"
substituted, for Wiley conveniently
had a big revolver in his pocket.
Officers had noticed Wiley for several
hours lounging on Larimer street, and
his actions had looked suspicious. He
was dressed very shabbily and he seem~
ed to spend his time following people
and staring at them. He followed
OffiCer Hendricks two blocks, looking
at his brass buttons.
Officer Kovsky’s uniform caught
Wiley’s eye yesterday morning, and
when he followed Kovsky the officer
determined to arrest him. Wiley went
to the station meekly enough, but when
an effort was made to search him he re-
sisted and help had to be called.
He had money in nearly every pock-
et. There were certificates of deposits
on Denver banks aggregating 87,000
and gold and currency to make the to-
tal $7,761.50. In answer to the sur
prised questions of the officers Wiley
said he used to be a ranchman at
Greeley, where he and his brothers had
made a fortune out of their farm and
had retired from business. He said he
had been stopping at the Western Ho-
tel, taking things easy.
When the money had been restored
to him he was taken to the Police Court
and fined $25 for carrying concealed
weapons. This he paid without a
murmur and was allowed to go.~—Den-

PERSIFLAGE IN BOSTON.
Tea Cup Banter in the American
At hens.
The airy persiflage that may be heard
may be imagined from the following
from the pen of a clever observer, who
thus describes a scene from a day at
home:
"The fair young hostess has dispensed
her fragrant cups to all, and is leaning
back in a quaint, antique chair, which
formsa charming setting for the old
time dress which modern girls are
wearing, the Marie Antoinette fichus
and brocades and high combs. One of
the newcomers, leaning an elbow on the
mantel piece, says abruptly:
“ ‘Do you know, I’ve wanted that
fine old chair of yours ever since I first
saw it.’
. “The chair’s occupant drops her lash: '
as over her eyes and says, demurely:
“ ‘The furniture and I go together.’
“ ‘Ahl In that‘case, I’ll call to-mor-
row with a carriage and an express
wagon.’
" ‘Oh,'but I didn’t say we went tc
the first bidder !’ laughs back the little
aristocrat, who knows equally well the 'i
value of her heirlooms and herself, and
does not appraise them at any low es-
timate.”
A Joke Revised.
She—Did she throw out any induce-
ment for you to call again?
He—Oh, yes; she said her father had
refused to pay the gas bill, and the Com-
pany was going to take, out the meter.

'HIS WIFE SUPPORTS HIM.
Jamel DI. Waterbury, Who lilanlpulatcc'
Cordage Stocks, Admits It.
. James M. Waterbury, formerly pres
ident of the cordage Trust, in whose
stocks millions were made and lost or.
Wall street a few years ago, was recent-
1y up in New York City in supplement-
ary proceedings. -
. Jacob Marks, attorney for the plain-
tifl, conducted the examination in sc
relentless a. manner that the severe
countenance with which Mr. Water-
bury entered the court room was soon
“sicklied o’er with the pale Cast of
thought.”
“Mr. Marks left no aspect of Water-
bury's private life unscrutinized. From
his boots up the judgment debtor was
forced to account, and in the end it ap-
peared that Mr. Waterbury was de-.
pendent upon his wife for pure susten-
ance. Never was there a more relent-
less sconrging of a debtor. Frequently
the victim’s eyes gleamed dangerously.
It was evident that he would rather
have assassinated Marks than lived to
see again the house that once was his in
Westchester. U
The examination yesterday began
w1th an exhaustive inquiry into the ex-
tent and quality of Mr. Waterbury’s
wearing apparel.
“How many suits have you?” asked
the lawyer.
A. I don’t know.
Q. Have you ten?
A. Possibly.
Q. Have you twenty? .
JAMES M. WATERBURY.
A. I think not.
Q. Have yen fifteen?
A. I don’t know.
Q. What’s your best impression as to
how many suits of clothes you have?
A. I never counted them. I may
have ten. '
In response to a number of questions
as to the value of the clothes Mr. Wa-
terbury said they wouldn’t bring more
than $100 if put up at auction.
“Does that include dress suits?" the
relentless Marks asked.
“I meant to include all kinds of
suits,” responded the witness calmly.
Q. How many overcoats have you?
A. Only two that I use.
Q. How many that you don’t use?-
A. I don’t know. ~«
Mr. Waterbury was then asked to
describe his hats and underclothing.
He approached the task without enthu-
siasm, insisting that he only were one
hat in a season.
“Have you any idea how many hats
you have in your house?" asked Mr.
Marks.
The witness said there might be half
a dozen.
Q. How many suits of underclothes
have you?
A. Counting winter and summer,
about half a dozen; possibly more.
Witness added that his wife had
bought the underclothing for him, or
podsibly one of his sons. He said that
he had probably a dozen pair of boots
. and shoes, but didn’t think they would
bring $50 at auction. The last pair he
bought, he, said, cost $7.
Mr. Waterbury was then asked about
the ruby ring he were and his watch
and other jeweiry. He said that he had
sold all his jewelry to his wife for cash
about two years ago.

Guarding the Bank of;F1ance.
The treasures of the Bank of France ’
are said to be better guarded than those
of any other bank in the world. At the
close of business hours every day, when
the money is put into the vaults and in
the cellar, masons-at once wall up the
doors with hydraulic mortar. Water is
then turned on and kept running until
the cellar is flooded. A burglar would.
have to work in a diving suit and break
down a cement Wall before he.could
even start to loot the vaults. When the
Jflicers arrive the next morning, the
water is drawn off, the masonry is torn
down, and the vaults opened.

WAS A REVELATION
To Her And Many Others In Nor-
walk.
It is always a revelation to every
sufferer from kidney complaints. Sur-
prise and gratitude are the impressions
it leaves behind. Medicines have come
and gone, some with merit, others with
none. Cures spring up inlhe papers like
mushrooms but are 'soon declared toad
stools from lack of profit. The people
hved too far away. Facts are wanted.
Whom have you cured ? That is what
is wanted. "Tell me of neighbors that
have found refief and I will believe
you.” That is plain English. The dis-'
ease may have a Latin name, but any-
one understands pain. Anyone would
rather have relief from backache than
to. know the Latin name for it. And
still it is well to know the cause. home
times out of ten it comes from the kid-
neys. That’s why Dean’s Kidney Pills
are so successful with all kinds of bad
backs. What proof have we of this
success 2, The only satisfactory proof
for you—Norwalk testimony. A Nor-
walk lady has good reason to speak well
of Doan’s Kidney Pills.

ple being the wife of the popular man-
ager of a big New York jobberls Drug
House. She has been a“ snfl'erer for
two years and a half, was under treat-
ment w1th a Brooklyn specialist who
claimed she had chronic Bright’s Dis-
ease. She got Doan’s Kidney Pills at
Hale’s drug store and began taking
them. Mrs. McLean says: “I do not
care to go into the details of my case.
Dean’s Kidney Pills are helping me

great confidence in their merit.”
