There died in Philadelphia on Wednes-
day man who was but little short of be-
ing famous and who orly escaped notoriety
by as narrow a margin-a strange COM
bination of the manly physical and the
POLITICALLY refined, by name Daniel L. Daw-
son and by occupation iron founder poet
lecturer and pUgiIist. A young man-only
thirty eight-and yet his reputation in the
four-named lines of endeavor was thorough
ly established. a deeply Interesting sketch
of the deceased, printed in the Philadelphia
Times, displays a character that was prob
ably unique. With watchful pair of eyes
on his great business interests he wrote
rhyme that was more than verse and then
while litterateurs were praisfng hts truly
poetic productions he would indulge in his
favorite recreation of pugilism, having no
care for what the world that knew him
thought or said. 1t. is recorded of him
that he was victorious in many of his con-
tests with prize fighters of considerable note
and he was probably the only amateur in
the country who puzzled John L. Sullivan
for four three-minute rounds; something he
did within week after writing The Seek
er in the Marshes" One days business
will give a condensed sort of an index to
Dawson's character. One morning he went
over to New York to give his foreman and
workmen some instructions in carrying out
a contract for building a creosote factory
in Harlem. In the afternoon the Authors
Club gave him a reception and his latest
poem was the topic of discussion. Later
he went to Sheepshead Bay to see his
famous steeplechaser, Rushbrook, engage
n race there. In the evening he lectured
on Morse Mythology" before a select lit
erary audience, and afterw ards before the
New York Athletic Club he whipped their
champion amateur middle weight pugilist.
Surely he was an extraordinary man.

No Place for Sentiment.

From the g. Louis Republic.
1t is all very well TO talk about locking
up cranks. but our laws are very cautious
about constituting inten tions prior to acts.
Imbecility IS far advanced when 1t does not
understand what punishment means. When
public opinion enforces all criminal laws
sternly ana without rnushy sentiment the
cranks will do little numbering.

no need to LOOK fer BOOM" A sudden
imitation OF the currency would have led to
a speculative movement. but it must have
been followed by another and worse depres-
sion. The recovery now begun will be slow
and quiet, but it is likely to be steady and
strong. and it will gradually extend through
the various branches Of business activity.
