THE FOUNDER OF GIRARD COZ.
LEGE,

THE FOUNDER OF GIRARD COL
LEGE.
Stephen Girard was a remarkable
man, and one who certainly holds a
place among the prominent men Of
America. He was the son OF t!iatin--
guished naval officer, and was born in,
Bordeaux, France, in the year 175O In
IVA, he sailed for New York, and, in
1875, first arrived in Philadelphia. In
the latter place he was very successful
III all his ventures, and SO the Quaker
City became his home. Girard was a.
man who would not brook disobclience
He sent young supercargo to the Dead
Sea in charge Of q cago, with orders
to sell it at port which he named. The
enterprising young man. finding he
could make $4,000 more by selling his
cargo at another port, did so, expecting
to please his master by his business ca
pability, land proudly handed Mr.. Girard
the extra thousands. But the French
man, so far from showing delight, in
formed the officer that this disobedi--
ence would compel him to dispense
with his services in future
In 1893, the yellow fever broke out
in Philadelphia. There were four
Thousand and thirty-one deaths in the
city from the first of August to the
ninth Of November. Here the nobility
of Girard was shown for when many OF
the rich fled, he remained and per
formed most humble and selfsacriticing
Offices for the sick and dying, devoting
many hours every day to nursing in the
hospital. In Mr.. Ingram's "Life of
Girard" is quoted an extract from the
United States Gazette of 1882, In
which merchant records that he saw a..
carriage drive up to house during the
pestilence. GA short, thick-set man.
stepped from the coach and entered the
house" and on emerging from it, "his'
arm was around the waist of the sick
man, whose yellow face rested" upon.
his shoulder, as he carried the invalid,
and the sick mans feet were dragging
helpless along the pavement" He was
driven to the hospital in the carriage of
the man whom Philadelphia looked upon
with dislike. A few years later Girard
opened a bank bearing his own name
We learn from Ingram, that during the
war Of 1912 "Girard's bank was the very
right hand of the national credit, for
when other banks were contracting, it
was Girard who stayed the panic by a
timely and liberal expansion-and fire.
,quent were the calls made upon him by
the Government for temporary loans,
which calls We're invariably responded
to Immediately In 1914, Girard-
risked his whole fortune, at time
when all the prominent capitalists held
back and failed the Government in it's,
time OF need.
Girard was warm friend of Joseph
Bonaparte, the brother OF Napoleon l.,
They dined together very often in the
merchants quiet home in Philadelphia
Prince Murat and Baron Lallemand
We're also intimate with Girard who
had few friends among the natives Of
the country Of his adoption. When he
died, in 1881, at the age Of 81, the city
gave him a public funeral. Flags were
hung at half-mast, and civic procession
march through the streets to do honor,
to his memory.-.H. Nicholas.

corded them q private interview in tho

rooms and giving n succinct history of
each. Bill Nye's modesty shone on the
occasion as conspicuously as his bald
head He was delighted with tho re-
ceptiou. In speaking Of it afterwards
he said:

What surprised me above all things was
his thorough simplicity, unatfectedness
ana frankncss. For "a man holding his
position he is asto- -ishingly ingenious.
1t is seldom that l rub my knees against

there were II great many smart things

only have thou ght OF them at the proper

Others who were present, however,

AN EN GLISiI OPINION.
The United states to be tho Leader in 4 rts
and Everything Else.
(From The New York IIcrald1

(From the New York IIcrald)
Prot. Hubert Herkomer, had dis
tinguishcd audience this evening at the
Royal Institution in Albcrmarle street,
London, to hear What he had to say
about his visit to the United States. He,
however, advanced little that had not
been said or written heretofore. He laid
particular emphasis upon what he called
the pronounced individualism of Amer
leans as compared with Europeans" Ho
was impressed with their keen, nervous
temperament, keen Intelligence and
their ambition to excel.
"Iherc must be-" he said, something

New York became quicker and thought
more rapidly and accomplished more
than when living III England"
lie specially dwelt upon "Jne Ameri-
can skill i'll physiognomy." Speaking of
social matters, he commented upon the
fact That "a stranger did not seem to be
tested hut was either welcomed every
where Immediately or else was not well
cynIea at all.
What impressed Prof. Herkomer
was the surprising progress in architec
turo. Comparing the new with the com
paratlVcly old, he says: "Ihe best types
Of urch;tccturc in the Ola World nro
accepted and are really the best found in
America In the making OF national art
architecture comes first in consequence,
next sculpture, then painting.
"ln the schools of art to-day the best
productions are by American students.
They do not come to Great Britain,
though, but visit France and Italy"
Prof. HCrkOmer concluded by avcrring
that America would become the leader
of art in the nations, rs Of nearly every
thing else. The word "nearly" seemed
to secure the Professor his applause, for
the audience did not altogether relish his
his cuCCmiums.

enemies among his political adherents;
he cannot distribute all the political
patronage that they think themselves
entitled to, and tho consequences will he

retires to private life, so fast do men
