did not forget. Seeing the report of
the big fire and rejecting that, possibly,
his old patrons might need assistance, he
wrote letter last week to Handley &
Sinnott, telling them that he was in
business in New York city that he had
in his employ l 800 men and did a busi-
ness of "many millions year." and
added that if the Colonel wanted a Job
of work he might call on him and be
assured of fair treatment and good
wages. The Colonel has taken the
