Absolutely Pure ROYAL BAKING POWDER 6.0., NEW YORK. .4- GUATEMALA’S CROESUS. 'Oncea Slave, Now Worth Millions. Em- ploys the Son ofa Former Owner. ‘ Don Juan Knight is popularly sup— msed to be-the richest man in Gna- temala. He is said to be worth $7,- 500,000. And yet, previous to our civil war, Don Juan Knight was a negro slave, the property of Daniel Upton. who lived, in Dadeville, Tallapoosa county, Alabama. ‘ ' Born in the bondage of slavery, John Knight 'never knew his father. His parents were separated at a sale 01 ‘ slaves before he was born. At the close of the war, .when the slaves were declared free, he walked to New Or- :lcans. He was twenty years old and hadn’t a dollar to his name. Now his annual income is over $400,000. ’And more than this, by the strange irony of fate, he has, in the days of his affluence, befriended those who formerly claimed him as a part of their goods and chattels. The son of his former owner is in his em- ploy as superintendent of his mines. Mrs. Upton, his former mistress, is _ the recipient of his bounty in her de- clining years. Thus has the , negro slave boy totally reversed the order of things. » Daniel Upton, Knight's former mas- ter, was a scholarly man, and his wife was a former school teacher. They had half a dozen slaves, all of whom had been treated well. Knight was born in the plantation one spring morning in 1845. Mrs. Upton gavethe negro child sufiicient lessons to get him started on childish studies by himself. ‘ Later M-r. Upton became in- terested in little “Black John” and provided him with common school books. He became the most promising negro in Tallapoosa county. ‘ .- Mr. Upton died in. 1860, and the to a new master, who took him to a cotton'pl-antation in Central Alabama. The muster entered the Confederate army. Young John became the over- seer of a part of the plantation. For four years he superintended the gathering of the cotton and its ship- ments to New Orleans art the best mar- ,ket prices until the close of the war. Then he walked to New Orleans and worked as a wharf laborer for a firm - which handled fruits from Central America. He saved his money. In 1866 he was sent by his employer to Yucatan, in Central America, to live there as b05s of the packing and ship- ping of fruits to New Orleans. That was practically the beginning of John Knight’s mil-lions, says the San Fran- cisco Examiner. A lively, Wide awake person was something unique in those days of si- estas and tropical sunshine. A rev- olution in Guatemala, in which Ra- mon Sanchez had been deposed, was just at its close. Knight saw what hard work and an opportunity to gain the favor of the new adminis- tration would do for himself. He pro- posed that for a cohoessidn of -some 50,000 acres of land suitable for pine- apples and banana growing, he would go to New Orleans and get the whole- sale fruit dealers, who ruled the American markets thirty years ago, to agree to buy $2,000,000 :1 year of Gua- temala fruits. The Guatemala gov- ernment gladly accepted the proposi- fi tion. In less than three months the deal was consummated at New Or- leans. It was the beginning of the trade in millions of dollars annually. He married a native young woman in Stapa in 1872, and the union has been a great help to his fortunes. There are seven children in Juan Knight’s home, and all have been ed- ucated in the United States. Two of the boys are in a military academy in Mississippi now. One daughter is an accomplished portrait painter in Boston. Once a year the father and mother go on a trip to New Orleans, and from there to New York. They were in Europe in 1894. Mule walrmck. But Never Runs Over. . Touching the protest we occasionally bear against the dangerous practice of driving loose mules through the streets it may be well to assure the timorous that there is no ‘possible danger of a mule running over a child. You may setfla baby in the middle of Marietta street and drive a thousand mules at a wild gallop through it and not one would hurt the baby. It is well enough to give a mule’s heels 3. wide berth, but no one ever heard of a child or man being run over by one. You could not drive a mule‘over a child—Atlanta Commercial.

I » Are Fairly Good; New York, Oct. 15.—It has never been possible to make a more satisfac- - tony quarterly report of failures dur— ing the five years which are covered by the returns made exclusively by this paper than can the made for the .past quarter. ' . ‘While 'a very few heavy failures still swell the aggregate tor the last quar— ter, those in real estle brokerage or speculation :alozne counting for mort than 131 per cent, of the aggregate, with as much more in operations not at all reflecting the general state of .business’, the aggregate was neverthe— less smaller than in. any other month covered by our returns for many bran- ches of business. In some branches the failures in Sep- tember or in August were the smallest in any month, and also in many others failures for the quarter were the smal- lest in any quarter. The wheat business is more active, with prices abouttwo cents higher for spot and nearly three cents for the December option. Very heavy purcha— ses have been made within the past few days, not as yet reflected in the official record of shipments, but the exports from both coasts, flour included, have been 4,101,770 bushels, against 4,886,015 for the same week last year. The price of Corn has advanced about two cents though the receipts are just now larger than they were a. year ago. ~ The price of.,spot cotton is a. six- teenth IOWer than a week ago, and the January option has also lost a few points, while there is a weaker tone in the market for goods. This is partly due to“ the official, admission that the price of print cloths, now a sixteenth below two cents, cannot be sustained without a. selling agency. which is now proposed. mm \_ *‘Ww-‘a’ ea... While some woolen mills have start- ed operations during the week quite as many have stopped. Although wool is about ten per cent. lower than it was on February lst, the manufactur- ers are not buying, and the market is remarkably dull, with sales during the past two weeks of only 6,179,700 pounds, at the three chief markets, against 24,331,600 last year, and 14,536,300 in 1896, and 13,703,800 in 1892. The‘iron manufacture again reports a small increase in weekly output, 215,- 635 tons against 213,043 a month ago, and with the decrease in quantity of unsold stocks on hand outside the great steel companies, the apparent consumption for the month of Septem— ber was 983,804 tons, against 980,503 in August: in “ma“...- _.». .,_ . , . .. ‘ In minor metals tin has advanced but little on account of the marked speculation in London, which lifted the price to 17 cents. It is noted-that freights to London are higher than to New York. -.~-'»<“’.>:;‘?"’ -'--- W ~ In boots and shoes the output for the year to date has been 136,310 cases lar- ger than ever before, and 245,289 cases ' » 11;,»va 9‘ dz ' .~-. ,lar er than in 1897, or about eight per smart black boy was auctioned off‘ g cént. Yet the demand is much restric— ted, the dealers holding off in the ex- pectation of lower prices. , There has been no marked change in the money market, continued ship- ments of gold preventing any strin— gency. . r.

OBDAM’S TRIP FROM PORTO RICO, Lieut, Briana Contradicts Sensational Statement: as to the TrauSpox-t. Washington, Oct. 15.-—The war de- partment has authorized the publica- tion of a letter to ColonelICharles Bird, assistant quartermaster general, from Lieutenant Briand, quartermaster of the Fifth United States volunteer in- fantry, who was on the Obdam, which has just arrived at New York from Porto Rico. Referring to sensational statements concerning the trip, Lieu- tenant Briand says: - “The ship was handled well, both by the captain and crew, and the comfort of the passengers was l‘ooked after in an able manner by Captain Allen. In regard to the sick on board I wish to say that we had two surgeons, one as- sistant surgeon and the ship’s surgeon. I know that the sick were looked after in a proper manner and had all the comforts there possibly could be had on a. steamship. The convalescents were under the or- ders of Lieutenant Johnson of the Nineteenth regulars. I saw him issu— ing out ginger ale, malted milk and condensed milk, jams, etc. In fact, he looked to their Welfare as well as any captain would to his own command, and I. never heard a single complaint except in regard to the delay, which was unavoidable and for the safety of the passengers. ' Train Robber Confesses. Kansas City, Md, Oct. 15.——L'owe, the self-confessed Missouri Pacific train robber, has added to his confession the statement that he also had a hand in the hold up of the Chicago & Alton pas- senger and mail train atBlueCut on the night of December 23, 1896, and alleges that the notorious John Kennedy led the raid. It is said that he Will again be ar— rested and will have to stand trial on the charge of stopping the United ‘ States mails. At thetime of Kennedy’s acquittal it was ope'nly charged that the jury had been approached. - Gold Imports. New York, Oct. 15.—The steamship Germanic, which arrived from Europe yesterday, brought these gold consign- ments: ‘ Lazard Freres, 53,000 pounds; Na— tional City ank, 19,500 pounds; Heidel- berg, Ickelheimer & C0.. 14,500 pounds. During the last fortnight the local branch of the Bank of Montreal has imported $1,000,000 in gold from Mon- treal. r Lazard Freres announced yesterday that they would import $500,000 more gold.
