How John 1. Blair Makes Money.


The people 10 this section of the State
are always interested In reading OF John
!. Blair and bis millions, and this, from
the Chicago Tribune, concerns both The
person whose arrival at the Grand Pacific
Hotel last Saturday night, created no little
interest, was John /. Blair, OF New Jer.
'sey, whose wealth Is estimated at fabul-
GUS amounts. He is rated TO be worth
from $40, 600, 000to 800, 900, 600. While
Mr.. Blair spends little money on himself
he Is quite generous 10 others, and many
kind deeds OF charity are credited to his
worldly account. He is remarkable
man, for although Ss years old he pre-
SCENTS the appearance Of one al go, and ac-
complishes twice as much as most young
men. His business career was begun so
long ago that the present generation does
not know him well. He built the greater
portion OF the Lackawanna road, investi-
ing his own money and keeping every
dollar OF his securities. When Scranton
was wilderness he bought land in and
around the place and saw 1t grow from
nothing TO city of 10000 people. He
built and now owns half the roads ia
Iowa. The town of Blsirstown, N. j., IS
owned by him. OF late years he has
made an immense amount Of money in
The West. He would lay out the route Of
a new road, mark the town sites along
the line and buy up all the good land be-
fore the public knew of the line OF the
road. When the towns sprung up Mr..
Blair had all the lots for sale.

The ceremony of drawing the Lee
statue through the streets OF Richmond
to the monument site last week surprised
even the most enthusiastic citizens. The
streets were thronged. The Confederate
veterans were all out in uniforms. The
statue was in three boxes, each In a heavy
wagon. The wagons were decorated with
Confederate and Virginia flags. The line
moved at o'clock. and was an hour and
half IN reaching its destination. Each
wagon at Gfst had two lines OF rope at
tacbed to it 200 feet in length, and row
OF men walked on each side OF the rope,
thus making the column four men wide.
AS The line moved on the rush became
greater, and 900 feet additional rope
failed to be sufficient. The ladies' line
was the most noticeable feature OF the
occasion. Beautiful and refined ladies
walked in line, all wild with enthusiasm,
and hundreds OF school girls Joined in the
cheers, many OF them carrying small Con-
fcderatc flags, which they waved as they
marched. 1t was the first time the city
had been treated to the sight OF ladies
marching through the middle OF the
streets, which were muddy from the
mornings rain, though this did not deter
the fair enthusiasts.

TIE HAMMOCK AT WAIKIKI.

Swings the hammock In the breeze,
While the signing of old Ocean
Mingles with the song Of leaves.
Healing balm for hearts sad fretting
Is measured ont with rustic zest
And the grasses so inviting
Inst the place TO he and rest,
While she swings Il dream Of haven,
I.ulled by natures kindly art
Speaks of peace, reStiul heaven
For sore and weary heat
On her lip, the Winds soft kisses,
Fainter seem, more distant still to me,
sounds, the soft voice OF her prattle
On the beach ut Waikiki.
Beautiful colnrade, remain forever
la our hammock to swing and sing,
Beautiful thoughts, come TO me ever,
But beautiful thoughts don't have wings
Stars shine high above the sky
OF carths vague whisperlngs;
Under the earth's broad bosom
Never beauty lies
But shall burn its way
To the rim Of day,
And fash to our surprise,
Hum OF voices growing fainter
O'er our cyclids languOr creeps
While in hammock idly swinging
In the breeze we sink to sleep.
And the south wind whispers family
OF her soothing lulIabies
At the beach IN bran new hammock
We close in sleep our drowsy eyes.
