lions, but which no longer exists. After
the gates closed the family was brought
down town. For year they were at

MR.. wwsLow,s LOAN BUSINESS.


Whon ct Harvard, He Exacted . Latin
Thesis ~ Interest.
When w. Rodman Winslow was kill
ed by falling from the seventh story
window Of the Sevillia apartment house
some days ago, a never failing source Of
revenue to those hard pressed for ready
money was taken away. Fofyears Mr..
Winslow had an Office on the third floor
Of the Vanderbilt building, at 1879 Mas
sau street, and there he transacted an
interest and discount" business on a
largo scale.
The sign on the off, 80 door set forth
that Mr. Winslow was a counselor at
law. He was, it is true, educated for
tho law, but he had given little atten-
ton to its practice for many years. 1t
was in the loaning of money upon chat
tel mortgages that he made reputation
for himself and acquired the fortune
which he had when he died. His meth
Cd of doing business was similar to that
Of chattel loan agents the city over. in
addition to the legal rate of interest
Winslow charged 80 or 40 per cent ad.
ditional for the accommodation. To Sc.
cure the loan he took chattel mort
gage upon almost anything of greater
value than the amount loaned which
the borrower possessed. The form o.
this mortgage he drew himself. and il
was his boast that it had never Y,
broken in a court Of law.
Mr.. Winslow was a college man, and
according to the story of IN old FRIEND
Of his, it was while still q student a
Harvard that he began the business
which he afterward made his vocation

the student had to have the money, s.

young Winslow frequently loaned mon
ey to others, exacting premiums of va
rious kinds for the accommodation.
On leaving college the young grad
uate made up his mind that there wer
great possibilities for pecuniary gail
in doing q money business on large
scale, and thus it happened that h
made it his profession. 1t was said tina

and that she will be pestered to death

who have pretended not to know her.
If she takes the advice of an old
stager, she will turn deaf ear to all
such opportunities and ignore them
completely.
The second ball she gives will be

Fun Out of an Eiopement.

Fun Out of an Elopement.
Yesterday afternoon among the wait
ing passengers at the Union station, psc-
ing abont nervously i'll the east waiting
room, could have been seen an old man.
At times he would walk out into the
main hall and to the north entrance to
look, rs If with anxious expectation,
out into jackson place. He was nerv,
Gus, and he was evidently looking for
somebody.
After half hours interval smile,
evidently of satisfaction, stole over his
countenance as lady, apparently well
advanced in years, came into the sta
ton. She carried a small grip, of which
the old man was swift to relieve her.
He accompanied her to the ladies' wait
ing room, saw her comfortably seated
and then went immediately to the tick
ct window, looked at his watch and
asked the agent as to the time when the
next train would go out over the Lake
Eric and Western. As soon as that train
was called the aged gentleman beckon-
ed at the door of tho ladies room and
started for the train sheds, followed by
the lady who had previously met him.
They took the train and rode as far as
Noblesville, where they got off and pro-
ceeded to the courthouse, where at the
clerks office the gentleman procured a
marriage license Later in the evening
Mayor Wilson was summoned to the
hotel, and there he married the couple
in the presence of witnesses.
The groom was Amos Sherwood. aged
n years; the bride, Louise Ewald 81
years old. Both have resided for long
time in North indianapolis where they
have many friends and are well known
throughout the village and its surround
ings. They desi-c,i TO get married and
