A BOOTBLACK's LUCK.
How Pat Higgins, of New York City
Amassed Fortune Out West.


Pat Higgins, of Denver, Col, who is
estimated to be worth at least 800, 900,
formerly kept boot -blacking stand at
the corner of Broadway and Ann street.
In spite of his wealth he dresses as he
did then, except on state occasions, and
is still engaged in backing boots.
though he does less of the manual work
than he did when barely making liv-
ing in New York city. He now employs
many assistants, and is said to have
stands in many Colorado towns, and in
Tombstone, Arizona. He was well
known to New Workers. doing business
near the City Hall park during the latter
years of the war and for several years
afterward. He was in the boot-blacking
business previous to the breaking out of
the war, but gave up his brush to serve
two years in the navy.
He then returned to his old stand on
Broadway, and lived in tenement
house in the fourth ward He was able
to add to his earnings by selling papers,
but even when making $5 a day at his
backing stand he continued to live in
the cheap rooms he had occupied when
81 day was good pay. He was an
everyday sort OF Irishman, unpreten-
tious, hard-working and sober. He
could have dressed we'll, but he did not
care to, and wore only common fan
rel shirt and trousers in summer time,
with the addition of pea-jacket in
winter.
Pat had ideas and aspirations that
were far above his station in life. He
was very proud of his two daughters.

ways neatly dressed, and went regularly
to church and to school, When they

grew up he closed his Broadway stand,
and. saying goodbye to tfe few friends
at the cruller and coffee stands near by,
he left New York and took his children
TO their aunt in Chicago. He went on
to the Black Hills Pat did not open a
saloon or locate claim or gamble. He
opened modest little shanty with
: chair in il, and hung out the legend:
Boots blacked inside" Whenever a
miner came to town he always went
first to the burber's, then to Pats place
to get shine, and then he was ready to
paint the town.
The miners paid Higgins in gold-dust
and 20 cents was the price of a shine.
The dust was not weighed. and Pat got
| more than quarters worth oftener
than he got less. He saved every cent
possible. He had no expensive habits,
never dressed up, seldom drank, never
gambled, and was making from $40 to
$50 day. Then he sent TO New York
for the illustrated papers. There wasn't
newsstand in the Black Hills at that
time. Every man and woman subscrib-
ed through Higgins for one or more of
the illustrated papers. He bought them
for 10 cents and less by subscribing for
the year, and sold them for 25 cents.
and even as high as 80 cents and 81.
Competition soon began. Higgins stay
ed till profits began to fall OFT pCrceptibly,
then moved on to the next frontier
town that had no bootblack and no
news-dealer.
When Pat got as far as Leadville he
found he was worth several thousand
dollars. He selected the First National
Bank OF Denver as his bank of deposit,
and he has ever since done business
with them. Not long after he went west
Higgins began sending occasional
orders for 800 worth of blacking and
brushes to New York firms The scrawl-
ing handwriting and doubtful standing
OF the unknown customer caused feel
ings of misgiving with some firms at
first, but the promptness with which the
little lrishman's drafts were honored by
the First National Bank of Denver set at
rest any doubts, and Higgins had be-
come very valuable and much appreci-
ated customer at II we'll known brush
hOuSc LII OcohnuH SIToet, anu also at q
backing mandatory which is adver-
tised on every rock and fence.
Not long ago travelling man for the
brush house hunted up Higgins. He
found him in Tombstone, Arizona,
Higgins was the me man, with the
same prudent ways and modest desires,
but with the same lofty ideas and fond
pride of his daughters. He had just
been to Chicago on visit to see them.
They were being educated at the best
schools there. Having seen them he
had returned contentedly, and with as
firm purposes us ever, to his cabin and
his brush.
The travelling man induced Higgins
to have his picture taken in his every
day clothes, with his pet dog at his side.
Higgins loved that dog very dearly.
They travelled together. When Higgins
went from the Black Hills to Leadville
he walked. only occasionally getting
ride on an emigrant wagon. Higgins
was walked up one night by the barking .
of his dog. The barking grew fainter,
and finally ceased In half an hour the
dog returned, wagglng his tail. He had
led band of Indians on false scent

Gsepn 1886 and The estimated Of said

Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1886-11-06

The result of the election in Mont
gomery county is enough to prove that
in GAINESVILLE and in several districts in
the county there is an element that
ought to be turned over without reserve
to the radicals. Those men will Join
in procession or talk on the streets in
vague and general phrases OF their De-
mocracy, and when it comes to voting
for men aud measures advocated by the
Democratic party they Glide out" under
any and every imaginable form Of ex-
cuse.
They need renovation and a shaking
up, and If nothing else proves effective
the old Baptist plan ought to be vigor-
ously applied. "Turn him out! If
he's a goat he'll flee to the mountains;
if he's sheep he'll bleat round the
iold." Mugwumpery is an unmanly
admission of inferiority, and there is
more hope of an avowed, out-and-out
radical than for one of those milk and
cider creatures who want to be called
Democrats, and yet who dare not assert
the right of every freeman to vote for
one party or the other.
The result OF this election will be
no,ed and quoted In coming times and
delinquents will be held to account. A
number OF papers in Tennessee, claim
ing to represent Democratic principles,
have followed tamely after Co'yar and
his organ, the Union, and on all occa-
sions they have found fault and thrown
obstacles in the way OF Democracy.
ALI Taylor has been their leader and
they should have placed his name at the
masthead.
The result only adds another chapter
to the storg of the duplicity Ito which
men are driven when they once break
away from the safe moorings, only
found in the harbor of truth. The
enemies of Democracy will never again
be allowed to fire on us from our own
lines of defense. The roll must be
called and let it be proclaimed as Gen.
Pat Cleburne expressed it on the eve
of the battle of Shiloh: "the man who
in the face of the enemy doubts or hest
tates was a coward and a traitor from
the first"
