A COUNTRY BOYS RISE.
The Life Story OF Bank President

Nearly all the tailor dresses for
general wear now have two substantial
pockets, one on each side, and their
ornamentation is part of the trimming
of the dress. Some of the new dresses
have ciruclar pockets slit in them on
either hip and are finished at the ends
with arrow heads Of silk. A fanciful
way of trimming the severely plain
skirt Of tailor dresses is 70 pipe il with
braid or color around the front seams
and all this piping to run up one.third
the length Of the seam on either side Of
the front breadth. The pointed belt
and curving pockets are then finished
with piping in a similar manner.

Three and q half years ago there
was a syndicate formed at Baltimore,
Maryland. 1t secured control Of 300,-
900 acres Of fine coal and timber LAND
10 the heart Of the state Of Virginia.
1t is now building railroad from Cum
berland, Maryland, to Charleston, West
Virginia. Its corporate name is the
West Virginia Central. Here is the
syndicate. First man on the list Henry
G. Davis, ex United States Senator
from West Virginia, Democrat; the
next on the list, Stephen B. ElkiDs, ex
Chairman Of the Republican National
Committee. a Republican; the nexl
man on the list, Thomas F. Baynard
Grover Cleyeland's Secretary of State,
the next man on the list, James G.
Blaine, Benjamin Harrison's Secretary
of State, Republican the next on the
list. Arthur P. German, the present
Democratic Senator from Maryland, .
Democrat. Now that il pretty
speckled syndicate politically speaking,
Dur;sg the last Presidential cam
ipaign James G.. Blaine travelled all owe,
the United States running down Mr..
Bayard. telling what bad man be was,
how he had mismanaged the state de-
partment, and that three years of that
management would certainly wreck the
ship Of state. When election day came
the people turned out Mr.. Bayard
and iato his place went Mr.. Blaine.
Six weeks after the election this syn
dictate held meeting in the city of
baltimore. when into that meeting went
James, G.. Blaine with the proxies of
Thomas +. Bayard's stock to vote for
the board of directors.
During the last winter the Maryland
legislature was two.thirds democratic in
both houses, when Arthur P. Gorman
laid seige to it, and had bill passed by
both houses and signed by the Cover
nor, surrendering the franchise to that
canal to this syndicate that they may
lay their rails on the tow path from
Cumberland. Nd. to Chain Bridge, al
distance Of 1913 miles. and with it went
a water privilege fifteen miles above
Washington, worth $3.50, 900.
Something like six years ago there
was sharp fellow BY the meme of Jake
Sharp, who succeeded in getting a fran.
chise from the legislature and board of
alderman of the city of New York, al
lowing him to build a street railway on
Broadway, in New York city. After
he got his railroad in working order,
rumors began to circulate to the effect
that Jake's method of obtaining that
franchise was not honorable, and finally
the district attorney Of New York
county was compelled to bring Jakey
up before the courts. and see if the
rumors were true. and they placed Jake
behind the bars at Cling Sing.
Soon after the last Presidential cam

began to print squibs about like the
