from a child he had taken an interest
in what he called the science of as
trology," and after having read much
on the subject, he set himself up about
eight or ten years ago as professor"
His reputation quickly grew, and he
made money. In 1873 he came to New
York and opened an office with even
greater success. Not only was he Wis.
tied by women and men who might be
expected TO be credulous, but among
his patrons were bankers and brokers
and professional men, who sought his
assistance in their speculations. Some
of them are said to have paid him a
regular weekly salary and to have Wis.
tied him every day. His friends tell
wonderful stories of his predictions, one
of them having been, it is said, the as.

placed upon the value of his practice
vary, but $50 a day is considered not
extravagant, as his clients extended

years Mr.. Jaquith was in poor health,
and he told his friends that he could
not possibly live until 1884. He went
