later another American, C. Robinson,
did the first printing with Siamese type,

the king introduced three American
ladies as teachers in the royal household

fame further distinguished himself by
performing the first known successful
operation in surgery, the amputation of
priests arm. Subsequently, during 81
malignant epidemic Of smallpox, Amer
ican missionaries introduced vaccine and
checked the scourge.
But America has contributed to the
commercial and industrial development
Of Siam, as we'll us to her enlightenment
i'll science, literature and religion. Cap
tain Thomas Miller, at present a resi-
dent of New York city, introduced and
applied the steam engine to several diff
ferent industries in the land of the white
elephant. Besides building and owning
the first large steamer on the Menam
river, Captain Miller also built u fine
steam yacht for the prime minister and
another one for Cedeth MOI, the first no.
bic of the realm. This person was so
much pleased with the results of Cap
tain Miller's handicraft that he ordered
the engine set up i'll Il shed where all the
people could see it run.
The excitement was so great that Ce-
deth MOI himself on entering the palace

affair memorable by trying to stop the
wheel on the propeller shaft with his
his hand. He was thrown about 40 feet
In addition to these enterprises Captain
Miller built the first steam saw1nill in
SIAM and also the first sugar mill.
Mr.. Isaac Townsend Smith, who has
for over 40 years acted us consul for
Siam in New York, has very high
opinion Of the genius and character of
the Siamese people. He is also an advo-
cate Of closer commercial relations with
/ the United States. In a recent inter
view he said: 1.-The first steam rice mill
in Siam was set up by an American i'll
| 1858. The first steam war vessel built
| in Siam was from drawings and models,
with steam engines and machinery built
here and sent out by myself, from this
city. This vessel was built by Phra Mai
Wal in Bangkok, was 600 tons carried a
crew of $50 men and was called the
Enemy Chaser. DR.. McFarlan, an Amer
lean, has for many years been at the
head of the government college, and

however, was for some time manager
for Phil Armour in Milwaukee and
served in the same capacity for Joseph
Armour when he began business in Chi
cago.
It is stated that neither Michael nor
Patrick Cudahy is affected by Johns
trouble. They are not spectators, but
devote themselves to straight away"
business operations. They have plenty
of money and will probably combine to
help John get on his feet again soon.
The firms that went down with John
Cudahy include j. G. Steever & Co.. e.
W. Bailey & Co., A. Hellnholz & Co.,
Wright& Haughey 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 a side partner when a
member of ''the big four of the early
eighties. Mr.. Halnill is a Hoosier by
birth, and will be 81 years old Nov. II.
His early boyhood was passed in Bloom
ington, Ind. His father, DR.. Robert
Hamill, removed to Chicago in 1S47. and
when Charles was 13 he went to work as a
messenger boy in a dry goods house. He
got $50 for his first years work He rose
rapidly from this place, and in 1856 took
IL clerks position in the Chicago Bank of
Commerce. He remained III the banking
business till 1864, when he went into the
packing business as silent partner in the
firm Of Singer & Co. In 1865 he went
into business for himself ION Change
and has been active ever since. His son
Robert is now a member of his firm,
which is called G. D. Hanill & Co.
President Halnill is a man of artistic
and musical tastes. He helped form the
Apollo club Of Chicago He is a 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
cago before the fire. can entire inn
portation direct from Holland to Chi
cage was purchased a year or two prior
to the conhagration by Mr.. Hamill and
two Of his friends. They lost their part
Of the Importation by the flames, but
Mr.. Ha1nill saved his. Though not Il
college graduate, Mr.. Hamill is man of
very wide information, and his repeated
election to the presidency Of the board
of trade attests his popularity among
Chicago business men.

The board of trade was founded in
1913. Twoy years later it was incorporat-
ed with 13 subscribers. Now there are
nearly 1900 members. In the begin
ming the admission fee was but s.. Now
it is $4,000 The annual assessment of
each member for expenses is $75. Mem
bership in the board is transferable and
commands premiums ranging from
$4,000 to S. 900. The building at pres
ent occupied is located at the foot of La
Sale street, between jackson and Van
Buren. It stands 225 by ia feet on the
ground and is q handsome, massive gram
ite structure. It is surmounted by IL

above the pavement. The interior is
lavishly finished, and the trading hall,
with 115 by 1855 feet of floor surface, is 4

high, ana much of it is glass The deal
ings of the members are confined alto

different parts of the floor are given up
to dealers in different crops
The method of doing business has
often been described, and readers yener-
ally are familiar with the arguments for
and against the practice Of dealing iii
futures" by which so many fortunes
have been lost and won and against
which antioption legislation in quantities
has been proposed. The magnitude OF
the annual deals consummated on the
floor Of the board Of trade is something
appalling, and it is not likely that the
most pronounced antioptjonist'' holds
that the business of handling the crops
of the country could be done so quickly
and SO economically by any plan as yet
devised as by organization.
The objections raised are exactly the
same as those made to the money ex-
changes the world over. Prices are
made to fluctuate by means of sl1illful

Of Governor Mckinley, who has been
renominated by the Republicans, little
need be said beyond the statement that
he is so years of age and served seven
terms as a member Of congress, where
he became famous because of his promi-
nence in tariff matters. He was elected
governor in 1891 by plurality of 21,511
votes. The particulars Of the financial
disaster which overlook him last winter
are still fresh in the public mind.

dates Isracken, Neal and N1cE1ia;cy.
Aside from the issues involved, the
Ohio gubernatorial campaign comes at an
Opportune time to attract national atten-
ton. Only II of the states hold elections
this fall, and of these only five ballot for
new governors-Ohio, Virginia, Massa-
chusetrs, Iowa and Wisconsin. These
five will all be closely watched by the
whole country, but the prominence given
to national questions in the Buckeye
fight has tendency to centralize inter
est upon it.

tors. He was formerly president of the
