He said his course would be TO overrule
all the objections unless they were more
substantial than those made to-day by
counsel for Greenhut and Morris. Four
hours and a half were required for ar

The objections were represented by six
attorneys. while Levy Mayer appeared for
the reorganization committee. Mr.. Mayer
pointed out that the time was rapidly ap-

never to wear socks. This resolution he
faithfully kept winter and summer. He
has remained bachelor all these years.
and II is said that the reason why no
did not marry was that 1t required too
great an outlay OF his precious gold 10
pay for a license. He came to Barrett a
poor man. Within ave years he owned a
well Improved farm, and he gradually
added to his possessions until he became
the largest property owner IN the county.
He possessed all of the money-making
qualities OF his Wall street cousin, and II
he fell short Of accommodating the great
fortune Of the latter It was because OF cir
cumscribed opportunities. f
