ORIGIN OF A FlNANCIER.
Why Fred +. Olcott Preferred Business,
to Politics,

NEW YORK, April THE men Of New
York state who have gained repute nv
reason of their achievements usually de-
vote themselves either to politics or to
literary pursuits. Yet it is probably
true, as was once said by Commodore
Vanderbilt. that the men who shane the
business of the nation, at least SO far MS
nnance is concerned, are more infuen-
t1al and yet less heard of outside the
circle of financiers than are the politi-
clans or the literary men. just now
Mr.. Fred p. OlcOtt is attracting atten-
tion to himself by reason of certain
achievements which he has CONSUME
mated in the financial world, and while
MS name may not appear in the news
papers MS frequently as does that of
some Of the men who are prominent in
New York state politics, yet Mr.. Olcott
is "A man of greater influence PERHAPS
than any politician, because through his
management he controls millions and
millions Of dollars.
Mr.. Olcott .has recently attracted to
himself the attention of tinaucinrs. not
only in this country. but in Europe, be-
cause he seems to have been able to ar
range for the reorganization of railroad
properties which practically gridrron the
entire south. The securities of the vari-
Gus companies involved in this r~cOrgani-

contest. The arrangement also Involved
the management of nearly 5000 miles OF
railway. Ur practically almost all of the
railroad communication between the
states east of the Mississippi river and
south of the Ohio and Potomac.
Mr.. olcott some Years ago was doubt
ful about his career. He had been bred
IN Albany AS Il banker in the office of
his father. The senior Olcott was presi-
dent OF IL bauk in that cilv at II time
when Albany was almost rs important
Il monetary center as New York city.
The politicians nf the north made Al
hany their center and som" of them cs-
tablislicd the closest relations with the
senior Dlcutt.
Olcott was a mere Lad when these men
used to meet IN his fathers back par
lors. but as lie heard their conversation
he h"rHnI" impressed with the idea that
the basis Of political parties is. after all,
II financial ollc, and the great issues
which divide the parties are also iinan-
ciul.
Young Olrott, impressed with this
idea. came 10 New York Just after he

some of those who have found fault
with his methods have insisted That
some day he might go too far and entail
ruin upon himself and the properties

DIR, BRIGGS TRIAL.
Tho Doctor Begin, His Argument In His
Own Defense.


Own Defense.
New YoRK, Dec. 13.-The Briggs her
csy trial was resumed here to-day. The
galleries of the old Scotch church was
crowded and tho attendance of the
brethren forming tho court was unusu-
ally large.
The large attendance was due to the
fact that DIR. Briggs was to answer the
charges brought against him by tho
prosecuting committee. DR.. Briggs
read from printed pamphlet,
He proceeded to consider the points
OF the prosecuting committees argu.
ment and asserted that the, line OF
prosecution adopted by them was illegal
and dishonorable. The rulings made
by the judicatory precluded them from
the line OF argument pursued and
showed q contempt of the judiCatory.
If the latter sustain their own ruling us
they must, then these charges must be
thrown out OF court.
"Mr. McCook has said that have not
retracted any Of the statements made
by me in the inaugural address," con-
tinued DIR. Briggs 'But why should
1? When it is shown that have made
erroneous statements then viii retract
but not before. There has heen no
proof offered yet that have been guilty
Of heretical teachings, and if this we're q
civil court I should stop right here and
ask that the case be dismissed. But /
recognize the fact that this trial is
merely for the purpose Of carrying
these charges to higher ecclesiastical
tribunal, and SO 1 am forced to consider
them on their merits"
DR.. Briggs then proceeded to take up
successfully the charges and specifica-
tions and to give categorical response
in his argument which was remarkable
for its wide resources, profound erudi-
ton and close reasoning.
