Another good man of whom Mr..
ClewS relates many anecdotes is the late
Daniel Drew, who founded theological
seminary and died pauper. Mr.. Clews
makes the point that the success of both
Vanderbilt and Drew was due to their
illiteracy. "Never tell nobody what yer
goin' to do till yer do it," was the favor
lite maxim of the old commodore.
"Gimme them sheers," was Drew's way
of designating the shares he wished to
purchase. Daniel Drew at one time
could command more ready money than
any man in Wall street. His wealth
was estimated at S13,0o0,00 This
money not only brought him financial
fame, but cringing admiration. Be
cause he got rich by the ruin of other
men he was wined and dined as a pub
lie benefactOr, and in a speech at
dinner in his honor Henry Clews
proclaimed him "a true representa-
tive of American thrift and enterprise"
Within five years after that din
ner Uncle Dan'f' was ruined. His
thirteen millions had faded away like
summer cloud. His money had been
made out of speculatiOnS in Erie stock,
of which corporation he was managing
director and treasurer. He was on the
inside, and from the inside it was his
pleasure to fleece the poor lambs on the
outside. Sometimes Erie stock would
fiuctuate from 20 to 80 per cent in a
single day through his liable manipula-
ton" But Jay Gould came and it
was not long until the old man found,
as he afterward said of Gould, that ''his
touch Is DEATH" After his failure Drew
went to live among his grandchildren
in Putnam county, New York, where he
was born and where he began life al
most without capital as a drOyer. His
experience was not pleasant. II was
troubled with visitors" he said in his
own peculiar .vernacular, "some of 'em
we'll on to 100 years old. Some of 'em
said bought cattle from 'em on credit
when l was young, and they wanted
their bills. / kept no books, and how
was | to know | owed 'em for them ere
critters. 1t was dull Outen thar, and
yer never can tell till the next day how
sheers has gone" So this other good
man who had spent the greater part of
his life promoting the prosperity of his
country by making corners" in Wall
street, returned to the city to die.

 s'Going to college when he can get $3, 800 season. Never heard of such 8 thing be- fore. That fellow is pitcher and should be playing ball. You wouldn't catch me going to college when could get $3, 800 for playing ball." Thus spoke "Mike" Kelly of the Bos- tons when here Tuesday. Stagg has always been modest and never told how muoh he had been offered to pitch for professional team. Kelly says, however, that he has been offered as much as $3,So0.
 "Stagg is great pitcher" says Ed. Crane of the New Yorks.
 John Merrill says that the Yale grounds are the finest in the country. Harvard will have to play great ball to beat Yale this summer," ejaculated Clarkson at the Converse House after the game on Tuesday. ''Stagg is great pitcher" he added.
 Ward says that some people think it un- reasonable because he wants more than Keefe. He doesn't think so, however, for Kssfe plays in but two games 8 week, where he (Ward) has to play six, and yet he wants but $500 more than Keefe asks for.
 President Day says the New York club didn't make $50, 900 last season. Of course he would say that.
 "Con" Daily, released by Boston, has signed with Indianapolis. Denny of the Indianapolis has been on spree and has been fined $160 and suspended by Manager Spence.

RAINY AND CADDY.

Nor was this the end of the matter, A young Boston gentleman, who has not missed a single performance of HErminie'' in that city, and who has been very lavish in his fio- ral offerings, slipped from the theater, and quickly returning, sent up to MT. Francis Wilson, that cleverest of all comedians, a handsome sheaf of oats in commemcration of his joke.
 Of course, when a remedy becomes as pop ular and we'll known as Dr. Buckland' s Scotch Oats Essence, it is not surprising that it should be travestied by such popular and witty comedians as the members of the "Er- mimic" company.
 Bestonians are known the world over as cultured, intellectual people, and by reason of governmental fatigue and the strain of brain and nerve are prone to nervous exhaus- ticn and like nervous disorders. Hence it is not surprising that this magnificent brain tonic and restorative is so justly popular there, for from physicians, lawyers, minis ters, actors, authors, lecturers and all per- sons who are nervous, hysterical, exhausted, brain strained and the like, it has received the highest encomiums. It is alike good in neuralgia, paralysis, sick headache and in- sanity
 It is hinted around Boston tonight that Mr. Francis Wilson got his idea from the fact that recently several members of the sErminie" company, worn out by their la- bors incident to the phenomenally long run of the play, have been using Scotch Oats Es- sence as a healthy and natural sleep-produ- eer and brain-invigorant with the best re- suits. This view is strengthened by the fact that several of the handsome books on brain and nerve diseases, published by the Scotch Oats Essence company ot 160 Fulton street, New York, have been mailed to members of the "Erminie' company. They are free to

 On the night in question, when the tims came for Miss Hall to sing this famous song, Mr. Francis Wilson is said to have stepped forward and placed in Miss Halls arms a large bottle of that great sleep producer, Scotch Oats Essence, the top of the bottle and cork having a miniature night-cap and the body of the bottle being swathed in infants long clothes. For a moment there was dead silence. and then the audience, all of whom knew of and many of whom have used this remedy, burst into wild tu- mutt of applause

How a DyingChild

CICERO. HAMILTON Co.,, IzD Sept. 1s. 1ss7.- The following is Q true account of what your 8. s. S. has dono for little daughter, HaEei, now four years old. When 12 months old . lump appeared OF her heel which slowly grew larger. The family physician thought 1t was caused by piece of broken glass or needle, but failed to bring anything to light. The child became feeblsr all the time, seeming to lose the use of her leg, and finally quit walk ing entirely. The middle finger and thumb of either hand became enlarged, the flesh be- coming hard The hip joints became involv- ed, 90 that when seventeen months old she could not stand, having lost the use of leg and arm. Partial curvature of the spine also followed. The nervous system was wrecked, muscles contracted, and there was general wasting of flesh and muscle. At eighteen months of age she was placed under the treatment of prominent physician Of Bos- ton, Mass, but at the end of ten months she had declined to such degree that she was in . dying condition. This was in April, 1868. We took the child sway not knowing what to do. In this dreadful dilemma VIC were over-persuaded by friends to try one bot tie" of SWEETS SPECIFIC, which we did. and before it had all been taken we saw Q change for the better in her symptoms We kepttt up, and have done SO to this day, and will keep 1t up, if the Lord wills, for many days to come, for It has brought our dying Hazel to life, to vigor, to strength and health again. The ashen hue of her cheeks hss changed to . rosy tint. She ia able to walk Anywhere. her languor and melancholy have passed away, and she is now b1ithe, cheerful, hap py romping child.

 The gentleman who was the authority for the article in your esteemed paper of the 18th entitled Founders Day-Quite a Breeze evidently spoke without knowledge of the facts and without authority, certainly as far as the New Haven Cricket club is con- eerned. To my certain knowledge the matter has never been mentioned in the N. H. Cricket club.
 It is not an organization restricted to any nationality;it welcomes all lovers of the game, English, Irish, Scotch, German or American. The club does not wish to have it understood that it is bigoted- or prejudiced agSsnst any nationality or creed. It's members are com posed of Americans as we'll as English, and have earnest desire to do their part to- wards commemorating the two hunnred and fftieth anniversary. of the founding of New Haven.
