 John Cudahy is one of three brothers, the others being Michael and Patrick. Their business connection has always been more or less close, but neither Michael nor Patrick possesses the bold ness and nerve of John. The failure of the last named is but an incident in the comm, -Cial record of the brothers who have made and unmade food markets for a decade or more. John Cudahy Is a native of Callan, County Kilkenny, Ire land, and was born Nov. ?, 1S43. When he was but 10 years old, his father came to America with his family and settled in Milwaukee. There the elder Cudahy went into business as slaughterer and packer in a small way, and there the boys received the most practical lessons possible in that business.
 y he was set to work in the establishment of Edward Roddis, Milwaukee packer, and before year had rolled by John was the most trusted employee in the house. When he was 19 years old, he went to work for John Plankinton, who was already Michael's employee. In Is months John resigned and went into the nursery business with Thomas Grynne. They made money for three years, and then John went with the house of Lay ton Gc Co. Three years later he was made inspector of provisions for Mil waukee. Then he went with Van Kirk X McGeough, and then he bought into the packing establishment of John Plankinton. In 1876 Michael bought out tLe Plankintun interest and John re- moved to Chicago.
 For five years John was in partnership with E. D. Chapin, the firm name being first E. D. Chapin & Co.,, and then Chapin X Cudahy. Then Chapin got out, and the firm became Cudahy Bros, Patrick being the junior partner, and Michael owning the controlling interest. Ip the meantime John joined forces with Jerry Sttevvr, and in 1881 became one of the controlling spirits on the board of trade N B. Ream, C. J. Singer, Nat Jones and John Cudahy were in those day: known as the big four" When ht went into partnership with S;eever Cudahy was worth about $700 00O Three years later he had passed the million mark.
 It was in 1874 that John Cudahy

WILLIAM KELLER.

Last year Kecler played with the Bing- hamton (N. M club. The club defeated almost every nine that they crossed bats with, and the baseball enthusiasts almost went wild over the little Brooklynite. But Billy never lost his head, and when at the close of the Binghamton's season he was signed with the New Works his friends still found him to be the same engaging young ster. At the beginning of the season he was playing great ball, until he broke one of his legs.
 When he recovered he began playing in good form, but was relegated to the bench great deal. This was great disappoint- ment to keeler, for he wanted to show what he could do and wben the New Works re leased him recently and he began welding a Brooklyn bat he was overjoyed. In the very first game with Brooklyn he made & three bagger, a two hagger and several pretty plays, and immediately jumped into the hearts of the Brooklyn ''rooters." Keel CT, who is known as Kid Keel, is not 2l years of age.

start things going Michael Cudahy,
 eyer. Was for some time manager . ,'hil Arm"ur in Milwaukee and served in the same capacity for Joseph Armour when he began business in Chi ca~o.
 It is stated that neither Michael nor Patrick Cud;,hy is affected by Johns trouble They are not spcculators, but devote thrm:clvrs to straight away" business operations. They have plenty of mon,y and will lralably combine to help John get on his 1 rt a's;.in soon.
 The firms that w,nt down with John Cudahv include J. C. Strovvr & Co.,. E. W Bailcy G- Co.,. \. Iclnholz & Co.,, Wright (; Haughcy and the North Amer ican Provision company.
 Charles D. Hamill, the present presi- dent of the board of trade. was first chosen in 1899 and reelected in January of the present year. His opponent in 1892 was Jerry Steever, with whom John Cudahy had been side partner when a member of the big four of the early eighties. Mir Hamill is a Hoosier by birth, and will be 54 years old Nov. If. His early boyhood was passed in Bloom ington, Ind. His father, Dr. Robert Hamill, removed to Chicago i'll 1S47, and when Charles was 13 he went to work as a messenger boy in dry goods house. He got $50 for his first years work. He rose rapidly from this place, and in 1855 took a clerks position in the Chicago Bank of Commerce. He remained in the banking business till 1864, when he went into the packing business as silent partner in the firm of Singer S Co. In 1865 he went into business for himself "on change" and has been active ever since. His son Robert is now a member of his firm, which is called C. D. Hamill Sc Co.
 President Hamill is a man of artistic and musical tastes. He helped form the Apollo club of Chicago. He is warm friend of Theodore Thomas. In his beautiful home are to be seen many rare etchings and artistic canvases. Some of his art treasures were taken to Chi eago before the fire. An entire i'm portation direct from Holland to Chi, cage" was purchased a year or two prior to the conhagration by MT. Hamiu and two of his friends. They lost their part of the importation by the flames, but MT. Hamill saved his. Though not g college graduate. Mir Hamill is man ot very wide information, and his repeated election to the presidency of the board of trade attests his popularity among Chicago business men.

 Straits,

NEW HAVEN, Aug. l9.-Because of the fact that the date on which the city taxes will fall due was prolonged two months by the late general assembly the city gov ernment is in the immediate need of SlO0,- UOO Taxes are not payable until Dec. l, and the above sum must be raised at once to meet the city's current expenses.
 Rather than borrow the money outright Mayor Sargent has hit upon plan which he thinks is much better and announced that the city would run bank of its own, and he announced further that hereafter, until further notice, sums of SlOO or more would be received at his office and per cent city bonds would be issued for the same. By doing this Mayor Sargent hopes to get many of the small sums now tied up into circulation again.

The fact that most of these men have made their large fortunes since the fire of 1s1l-a period of only 9 years-is perhaps of itself the most striking com mentary that could be made on the push, the vitality and the gripon business pos sessei by that typical American-the Chicago man.
 The circumstances of the failure of John Cudahy, Wright and their busi- ness friends are pretty well known. The deal was started . year ago last March by Wright by bull campaign on hog products. Cudahy put up the money,
