His Reward.
carson Appeal.

Charles Croker, the railroad man who
died recently, left $35,000,000 A good
many peopleIsimprove the opportunity to
accuse the dead man Of piling up a vast lot
Of money by robbing the people.
Now, as matter of fact, Croker got his
money by economy, hard work and good
habits. He began working for s. week,
which shows that he was not born with g
silver spoon in his mouth By any means
While other boys were out fishing for
suckers he was putting in hard ticks. He
didn't drink and he didn't gamble his
earnings away, and he kept aloof from fast
company.
Of course about the same time there
were other boys in the same town with
Croker, who were Of the same age and
had the same chances as Croker. But they
wanted to be " bloods," and their money
and health was frittered away in dissipa-
ton and fast living, night hurrahs and
having good time.
These boys had good deal more fun
than Croker early in life, but when they
reached the age when they could really
ENJOY life they were too poverty stricken
and too broken in health.
Croker worked hard for what he got to
make start with; worked with his hands
to get the start, and after he got it he gave
MS hands rest and lei his brains take the
shift.
He built the biggest railroad in the
United States, and helped TO Join both
sides Of big continent. Is S35, 0O0, 900
too large reward for such piece of
work We think not.

Mrs. Oscar w,lde.s Taste in Dress.

Fashion authorities have for some time
past been urging and encouraging the fur
therance of individual taste Let each
woman follow her own "bent" in choosing
materials and designing her own costumes,
and what refreshing variety will be
afforded the eye. The plea has much to
recommend it, but that there is danger
GUS rock ahead-is affirmed by the fact
that the London world of fashion is ex-
cited over the well-circulated information
that the charming wife of Oscar Wilde,
the well-known disciple of the school of
aesthetics persists in wearing the same toilet
to all the fashionable fetes. The costume
is tasteful in every particular, artistic as to
combination, graceful as to draping the
one ofleuse lies in that it is always the
same. Friends of the lady refute the
SANDER emphatically, and assert that only
the model of the costume is identical.
The aesthetic, himself, after careful study of
his wife's complexion and figure, designed
toilet calculated to set off both to the
best advantage. Evidently the world in
general lacks proper appreciation it per-
sis-s in viewing this triumph of art through
the commonplace spectacles of economy.
1t is little lesson that may be conned
with advantage by less artistic people,

Charles Croker, the great railroad mag
nate and millionaire, well known % every
citizen, Is dead. He was one Of the men
OF whom IN his cradle none could know his
destiny, He was born of poor parentage,
and when but years of age sold papers
in the streets to aid his parents. BY his
aid, in part, his parents were enabled to
move 10 Indiana and engage in farming.
He came to California in 1850, and pitched
ms tent in Sacramento. In 1860, in com
pany with Leland Stanford, Mark Hop
kins, G. P. Huntington and E. B. Croker
he began to build railroad across the
northern part of the continent, completing
the work in 1863 That work made him
one Of the best-known and richest men in
the land. He met with an accident in
New York, some two years ago, being
thrown from a carriage, which incapaci-
tated him for some time He never fully
recovered from it, and to that accident is
attributed his final illness In that way
one Of the foremost business men of the
nation passed away.

II Man of Note Gone.


The death of Charles Croker is cutie
notable event. He was a man Of mark in
many respects, and his native abilities were
unquestionably of the first order. Be
ginning life at the foot of the ladder, with
nothing to rely upon but stout heart and
a buoyant American energy, he discounted
in his career the fascinating story told by
Dumas of his ideal Monte Cristo. His
career had all the dazzle of the life-narra-
tives of John Law, Sir Morton Peto and
Pereire, with none of their instability.
Mr. Croker possessed an oyermastering
energy, a spirit Of enterprise without
bounds, specially gay and amiable tenn
permanent, and dauntless pluck and will
sion, however perilous. There was fine
generous strain in the man, and splendid
fiber of fidelity to his business obligations
and friendships. Years ago, when the
Southern Pacific Railway Company sold its
Mojaye branch to the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe Railway, when the purchase
of the Galveston, Harrisburg and San An
tonic Railway and the Morgan line Of
steamers and the general depression liz
railway securities had embarrassed Mr.
Huntington in New York, Charles Croker
drained the coast of ready cash to sustain
his partner, and not only enabled him &c
pull through, but to emerge in 6 few
months with enormous profits. In the
early days of the Central Pacific projects
no man had louder laugh, more cheer
ing individuality, or more unfaggins
zeal and hope than Charles Crocker.

railroad builder and one of its wealthiest

Croker showed great skill and energy,
and the rapidity with which the work was
done was largely due to his personal efforts
He was n,unificent patron of art and

Charles Croker died at the Hotel Del
Monte, Monterey, yesterday. He has been
a conspicuous landmark in California for
the past quarter of century. He was
one of the founders of the Central Pacific
Railroad Company, and superintendent the
men building it, personally, from Sacra-
mento to Ogden. He was an unassuming
man, Notwithstanding his great wealth
and position He was unostentatiously
charitable, and will be missed in business

The transformation of California from
State of isolated mining camps aud cattle
ranges to a commonwealth possessing al
most numberless prosperous industries
and abounding in well titled fields, thrifty
orchards and vineyards is to no small ex-
tent due to the labors of the late Charles
Croker. While this development was in
evitable and would no doubt have been
FASTENED by others in due season, had Mr..
Croker and his associates not availed
themselves Of the opportunities presented
the fact remains that they alone among
the citizens of California had the sagacity,
ability and capital to turn the situation to
account and with the generous aid of the
Government to construct the Central Pa
ciic Railroad, and subsequently without
this aid to build other lines Of almost
equal Importance. Inthe practical execu-
ton Of these works Mr.. Croker was the
hrst among his associates and the annals
of railway construction of the country
show that his abilities in this direction
have never been surpassed. That the re-
wards of this investment of labor and
capital have been munifcent in no way
detraets from the advantages which have
been reaped by the public. If the gains
from these railway enterprises have been
great, the pecuniary gifts for education
and charity made by Mr.. Croker and his
business associates have been liberal, and
their generous private expenditures have
furnished steady occupation to large num-
bers of artisans and laborerE
