We are greatly indebted to THE CLAIR
ION for this result. In 1879, the matter
was projected, and a beautiful young
lady, now the wife of Mr.. Love, of
Amite, a member of this Legislature,
went with me to Meridian, and read an
address to the Methodist Conference,
asking that body to donate the buildings,
ETC., of Whitworth College to the State,
in case the State would endow a female
college. This failed, but after five years
the project has attained a measure of
success, for which We are indebted to

Western Union and small puts on Erie, James
r. Keene failed to respond, and with that fail
Ire announced to the street that he had reached
The bottom of the splendid fortune which few
years ago was the wonder and admiration of
Spectators. 1t for some time had been sus-
Pected that Keene was in strait, but pluck
kept him up, and until lately he though he
would pull through. Very little was held
asinst him by brokers, but he has privileges
out ofwhich have come heavy losses. He paid
out recently to holders of his stocks $l75,OOO
The failure was for but $4,000
The following statement was issued for pub
lication:
After paying out millions of dollare in cash
during the last few months, in my efforts to
protect my. privileges in the falling market I
have finally determined to call a halt in
the interests of those with whom have bust
ness. JAMES r. KEENE
Keenes career has boon wonderful He
matte his fortune i'll silver speculation in San
Francisco. He was q bull in Crown Point from
$40 to s., zoo, and bear all the way down 1t
.,ss estimated that his winnings there were from
three to five millions. Coming here in 1879,
entered the market as bull and was credited
~ two years with having added to his fortune
e7,OOo,U 700! Meanwhile he had won a reputa
ton as beng one of the pluckiest operators
ever on the street Everything he touched
during his success Nc turned to money, and quite
early IN his Vail street experience he worstel
Mr. Gould. 1t is curious that the remarkable
drop in Goulds Western Union recently was
the direct cause of Keene's failure Luck
turned against him in 1881. He lost on wheat
at Chicago and had fight with the Standard
Oil company which cost him all immense sum-
Then some of his speculations turned on him.
He fought pluckily but could not resist the
tide. He has paid out within two years millions
Ut dollars Oh privilege accounts,
