His street car rail developed rapidly, and
in 1884 he formed the johnson Company,
of Johnstown, Pa, one of the largest steel
plants i'll Pennsylvania, and outside of the
Steel Trust. He also controls now an i'm
mense plant near Cleveland.
Henry Georges Progress and Poverty"
gave twist to his career that nothing has
affected. When he read it first he was
astounded at its arguments, yet fearful of
accepting them. Therefore he turned the
book over to his lawyer and demanded an
unbiased opinion on it. The sceptical law
yer was converted, reported favorably, and
from that hour Tom johnson has been the
stoutest ally of Henry George and his single
tax theories. He always was free trader
of the most uncompromising type.
Mr.. johnson was nominated for Congress
in 1888 in strong Republican district and
astonished politicians by narrowly missing
election. He was successful in $780, and
again in 1892, but was defeated in 1894
During his first term was member of the
Committee on the District of Columbia Tax
Assessments, and embodied in his report
his views on single tax. The report was
distributed by hundreds of thousands
Mr.. johnson is said to employ 10000
men in his various enterprises. He owns
the electric railroads of Allentown, Pa,
besides those of Cleveland and Indanapo-
lis, and has large street railway interests In
Detroit, Brooklyn, Chicago and Boston.
In his manner he is democratic to the
furthest extreme. Though several times a
millionaire he delights to mingle with labor
ing men and discuss the theories of single
tax, populism and socialism, and the con-
ditions affecting the W )rkingman.

TOM L. JOHNSON.
A RADICAL MILLIONAIRE AND STREET
RAILROAD MAGNATE.

Career of the Man Who Engineered the
Nomination of Henry Georgia. Free
Trader, Monopolist and Friend of the
Downtrodden Workingman."
Tom L. johnson, the man who brought
about the nomination of Henry George for
Mayor of Greater New York, and who was
his right-hand political adviser up to the
time of the great ''Single-taxer's" death, is
a marvellous man. A millionaire, q free
trader, a monopolist, labor agitator, a
single taxer and ''friend of the downtrod-
den workingman," his character and career
seem to abound in paradoxes.
Though by common consent and the au-
thority of the Congressional Record, he is
known as Tom johnson, his full name is
Thomas Loftin Johnson. He was born in
Scott County, Kentucky, on July IS, 1854,
and after a common school education en-
tered the employ of the Central Passenger
Railroad, of Louisville. With marvellous
rapidity he rose to be secretary and super
intendent and mastered the minutest de-
tails OF railroad management. He invented
rail when eighteen years old that is now
nsed all over the country.
Gradually he amassed wealth, and in
1876 obtained control of street railway in
Indianapolis. Three years later he began
small line in Cleveland, but by his extra
ordinary energy and ability in short time
effected consolidation of all the roads in
that city, his home. He is the street rail-
way king of Cleveland, and one of its most
popular citizens, his equitable treatment of
his employees being at the bottom of this
reputation.

A great many toys are now made in
this country, including many mechan-
ical devices. Many toys are still i'm
ported. Such things as woody sheep
and dogs, now as highly priced by chill
dren as ever, come from Germany, as
do the skin-covered horses, They
could be made here, but they can be
produced cheaper abroad.
AS a rule, whatever can be made by
machinery is made here, while toys
made by hand are mostly imported.
The minute a thing is brought within
the reach of machinery, Amer can
manufacturers can pay their higher
prices for labor and still beat the
world. With the low prices of labor in
foreign countries handmade produc
tions can be made cheaper in them. AS
result of this there are toys of some
kinds which in their completed state
are partly American and partly foreign
Among these are toy vehicles with
horses attached. The vehicles and ev-
erything in and about them may be
the product of American machinery
while the horse standing between the
shafts may be from Germany.

Aluminium Wira.

Aluminium wire is made of various
sizes and used for variety of purpos-
es. Among it's newer uses is the man
ufacture of door and window screens.
When exposed to the weather such
screens do not rust. Aluminium wire
is used in the manufacture of hairpins.
In few cases in this city aluminium
wire has been sold to put on tin roofs
for use as clothes lines. The wire sold
for this purpose was No. 6 gauge which
costs 60 cents a pound, and 1000 feet
of which weighs twenty-four pounds.
Aluminium pigs sell now at about AZ
cents pound, which is about half the
price of year ago. The sale of man
ufactured articles of aluminium is all
the time increasing and things in great
variety are made from it.

A new book of l3j pages by Marvin Warren.
BY irresistible facts and logic it shows clearly
that the natural and easy way of maintaining
forever the parity of all gold, silver and paper
money is to make them equally legal tender,
but not redeemable in each other nor in any
thing but government dues.
The author holds that our fin ancial and in
dustrial woes come chiefly from the present
system of coin redemption, and he points out a
way to speedy relief.
The measures proposed in this book are the
logical outcome of the principles ofthe Peoples
Party, and the rapid circulation of this book
will be of immense service in uniting the
scattered forces of the party, and in making new
converts everywhere.

Helps Mariners on Land.

1t may surprise great many to
learn that all the calculations of the
ephemeris of the sun prepared for the
United States Nautical Almanac are
the work of woman, Mrs. Elizabeth
B. Davis. This lady is a native of
Front Royal, Va, and her mother is
Mrs. Mary Brown, who is connected
with the Pension Office in Washington.
Experts say that Mrs. Davis is one of
the foremost mathematicians in the
country. She invented the Washing
ton-Greenwich table now used in the
Nautical Almanac, and year ago cor
rected a most intricate error in La
places table. The lady is the wife of
Arthur Powell Davis, of the Geological
Survey at Los Angeles, Cal, and they
have two children. Mrs. Davis was
however, in the government service
long before her marriage.

"Yes, but not SO bad as it will be
along in January, after the mosqui-
toes get out of the air and let the wind
have chance. Then it gets good and
cold. A man told me who had winter
ed up there seven years that it was so
cold in January that they froze the
flames of their candles and sold them
for Strawberries. He said they kept
their fires over night by putting them
out in the air and letting them freeze
and then thawed them out in the
morning. He said he had seen four
men die of collie from eating whisky
that was frozen so hard it wouldn't
thaw inside of them. He said the
cows all gave ice cream till they froze
to death. He said he knew a clerk in
hotel on the Yukon that got rich
selling the diamonds he wore, said dia-
monds being nothing on earth but ice
crystals that didn't thaw till after the
clerk had got out of the country. He
said he had seen a man fall off the

Molasses as q Fuel.

The lower grades of molasses have
proved unstable at any paying price.
Many Louisiana planters dumped mo-
lasses into the bayous, until the au-

fuel, being sprinkled by a machine
over the bagasse, or the sugar cane
from which the juice has been extract
ed. This, when put into the fire,
burns with strong heat. It's coal val
ue is greater than it's value for any
other use, and over a hundred thous-
and tons were so used last year.

when l read of the polling of pas
sengers on trains and boats running
into and out of New York City to as
certain their preferences as to can1i-
dates" said gentleman who has long
been identified with transportation in
terests, ''it reminded me of a story my
father used to tell of the campaign of
1886. In those days there was still a
great deal of travelling by canal, and
some of the packers on the Erie were
fitted up almost as sumptUously, for
the time, as the palace cars seem now.
"a large party was coming East from
Buffalo on one of these passenger
boats, and excited discussion over the
respective merits of Van Buren, Har-
rison, White, Webster and Mangum.
1T was on one of those warm Octob-
er days when the cabin was too torrid
for occupancy, and all the passengers
were assembled on the deck. The lead
ers in the informal political debate
were a democrat and a whig, both flu
ent takers and clever in argument,
and pretty soon everybody on board
gathered around to listen to them.
Presently the whig suggested that it
would be a good idea to take the sense
of the meeting and the democrat, af-
ter quick look ahead, agreed. He
obtained silence, and announced:
Gentlemen, we are about to take a
vote for President of the United States.
Are you ready?'
Ready was the prompt answer on
all sides.
Gust then the steersman called out
the customary warning, Low bridget
Here was the democrats opportun-
ity, and he seized it.
"'All those in favor of Martin Van
Buren, he shouted, 'stoop down! Con-
trary minded, stand erect!'
'The boat at this moment reached
the bridge, and every man dropped as
if he had been shot.
It's a unanimous vote!' declared
the triumphant partisan of the Sage of
Kinderhood"

SADDLES OF SKATE,
The manner in Which This Wing -;inned
Fish is Prepared for Market.

The manner i'm Which This Wing-;'inned
Fish is Prepared for Market.
The skate is a fish not commonly
found in the market, and when in sup
ply it is bought chiefly by the French
and Italian residents of the city. In
preparing it for sale the head and
front part of the body and the tail and
rear part of the ECdy are cut away en-
tirely, leaving a ridge joining the two
big wing-like pectoral fins, in which,
with their basal supports, the meat
that is eaten is found. The part thus
left remaining, if held up, would take
a shape something like that of a saddle,
and it is called a skate saddle.
The skates that are brought to mar
ket weigh from two to fifty pounds
each. Sometimes there are no skates
in market sometimes the supply islarg-
er than the demand, which is never
great. The price is always low.
An old fisherman said that a man
blindfolded couldn't tell skate having
vinegar on it from lobster.
