Only Notoriety—One Ma} Be Entirely Deficient If He Has thl Qualifications of Engaging Attention. A contributor of the New York Pres: says Chauncey M. Depew is the mos‘. conspicuous of all Americans. With nothing to depend on except his own individuality he has made his name 2 household word throughout the Uni- ted States, While there is not a capital ' in Europe Where the sound of it has not been heard by the masses as well as the classes. We have no such person as a con- spicrious poet in America. The coun- try is full of feeble rhymesters. 0u1 most conspicuous writer is—mind you . I do'not say best—William Dean How- ells. No other living American literi ateur is so well known in the lengtl and breadth of the country. Our mosl conspicuous banker is, without doubt J. Pierpont Morgan. The most conspicuous American preacher is dead—Henry Ward Beech- er. No living preacher can approach him. You don’t hear of any greal amount of personal magnetism in the pulpit these-days, no vast crowds flocking to hear a sermon. Our mos? conspicuous orator is an Irishman—e Bourke Cockran. No man in the Uni- ted'St'ates can approach him in down right oratory. The woods is full of after—dinner and stump speakers. Oui most conspicuous editor was Charles A. Dana. Our most conspicuous mer- chant, retail, is John Wanamaker, and wholesale, Claflin. This about Claflin is said with a reservation, for it is the house of Claflin, and not John Claflin ' himself, that is so conspicuous. Our most conspicuous lawyer is Joe Choate, though the leader of the bar is James C. Carter. The most conSpic- uous politician is Mark Hanna. The most conspicuous statesmanis Edward J. Phelps. ‘It may be that there are plenty of “dead politicians” in Con- gress who could fill this bill according to Tom Reed’s idea, but Phelps is a man of extraordinary breadth, depth and fineness. The most conspicuous heavy swell in America is Ollie Beli mont. None 1 1 touch him. He is Fred Gebhard, Larry Wall, Louis On- ativia, and Tommy Tailer, rolled into one, with more sense in his little fin- ger than they have in their heads. Ollie is the Collis P. Huntington oi dudedom. He cares for the good opin- ion of only one person in the world and that one person is Ollie Belmont. The most conspicuous railroad man in the United States is Frank Thom- son, of the Pennsylvania. road. The most conspicuous manufacturer is Henry 0. Havemeyer. The most con- spicuous iron founder is Andrew Car- negie. Our most conspicuous ship- builder is Charles H. Cramp. Our most conspicuous Wall street specula- tor is James R. Keene. Our most conspicuous fisherman is Grover Cleve- land. Our most conspicuous hunter is the Rev. Dr. William S. Rainsford. Our most conspicuous governor is Pin- gree, of Michigan. Our most conspic- uous woman is Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Lease. Our most conspicuous theat- rical manager is Charles Frohman. Our most conspicuous gas man is E. C. Benedict, the friend of Grover Cleveland. Our most butcher is Philip D. Armour. most conspicuous speculator in. all lines is John D. Rockefeller. He makes all other speculators look small. He takes a chance with millions, where other men hesitate with a few hundred thousand. Our most conspic- uous millionaire is J .Pi-erpont Morgan. After him comes Rockefeller, then Huntington. .' The names of these men are familiar the world over. Our most conspicuous mine owner is William A. Clark, of Montana, the “Silver King." Our most conspicuous farmer is Ho- race Boies. After him comes “Silver Dick” :Bland. Our most conspicuous turfman is Michael J. Dwyer. Our most conspicuous soldier is General Miles. Our most conspicuous sailor is Lieut. Robert E. Peary.‘ 01d friends may disagree with this selection of conspicuous men, but they must understand that the word gov- erns. ' ablcst, the purest, the most talented, but “open to view,” “catching the eye,” plainly to be seen.” Our . An Uppertune Arrival.
