HOME AGAIN.

Messrs. Joe Grimes and Thomas J.
Moore, who have been spending the sum-
mer at Asheville, N. c., are enthusiastic
ia their praise of that place as summer
resort. Asheville is situated high up in
the heart .of the Alleghanies, and out
door exercise-shooting riding, driving,
tennis and mountain climbing-is enjoyed
all the year round While there they
met many prominent Irish-American
business men from the North and East,
and with an exclusive party were shown
through and entertained at the magni-
ficent Vanderbilt summer home, located
thirteen miles from Asheville. There are
several Irish-American gentlemen in this
city, who are identified with Ashevil,es
interests. While at Asbeville the two
gentlemen were the guests of Mr.. James
Loughran, who is the Richard Croker of
North Carolina. Mr.. Grimes said to our
reporter that Lookout Mountain Park is
a delightful place, where concerts and
balls are given to entertain the visitors,
and suggests that something similar
should be established in our Jacob Park.
Both gentlemen appear to be greatly
benefited by the trip, Mr.. Grimes having
gained twenty'one and Mr.. Moore eleven
pounds.

abroad with great satisfaction, and is

Gently paid a non-political visit to the
Green Isle, and spent with his wife a
short time in it, on his silver honeymoon
tour. He says that as an Englishman he
returned to England intensely humili-
ated and filled with feeling of alarm
He declares that, as strong Imperialist,
he grieved because Ireland was the great
failure of the Empire-Ireland was Eng
lands reproach. He next describes how
England one hundred years ago missed
its chance of governing Ireland as it gov
erned itself, instead of fleeing and plum
dering it for their own sovereign will and
pleasure. When Lord Fitzwilliam had
ceased to be Viceroy in Ireland, Mr..
Stead saws:
"John Bull hardened his heart and
stiffened his neck, took the bit between
his teeth, and bolted headlong down the
broad way that leadeth to destruction.
Down that road he is plunging still, al
though with occasional haltings, as con-
science pricks him and as glimpses of
Judgment to come flash before his eyes.
But if Gods in His heaven and all's
right with the world, then that judgment,
though 1t tarry for season, will fail not.
Nor if our belief in righteousness and
Judgment is not a mere old wife's fable,
ought we then to wish it to pass over us.
For world in which such crime as this
escaped unwhipped, justice would seem
to lie outside the moral order of the uni
verse"
This noble article is most exhaustive in
dealing with England's treatment of Ire
land. Under eight headings it gives
succinct and correct history of the Irish
rebellion which was, he says:

Kurd. But, Notwithstanding all this,

1876. when he went to Chicago and be-
gan packing and specializing. In five
years he was rated millionaire and a
leader on the board. Five years later he
had doubled his fortune. Five yeas later
he had reached the apex, cornered pork
and lard, saw his millions vanish and
himself reduced to practical penury. In
another five years he paid off all of his
obligations and is rich again.
John Cudahy's revival of fortune will
please his many friends. In all his dar-
ing operrtions-and few men ever ex-
celled him in this regard-he was popular
among all his associates. Men in other
walks of life, poor laborers whose daily
bread was earned in the plants he ran or
was interested in, all recognized in him
not only man of greatskill and daring in
finance, but a man with heart for his
less fortunate fellows. His failure came
when the nation was in pinch for money
and gilt-edged collateral was not sniff
cient to procure the loan needed to tide
him over. He gave up only when his
resources were exhausted. Then he was
nearly 81 100000 in debt.
But no man with the grit and energy
of John Cudahy, filled as he was with
native pluck fortified by the push which
characterizes the Chicago man of bust
ness, could be kept down. He dropped
out for time to recuperate his fortune
and returned to the arena filled with the
purpose of regaining his ground at least
Kentucky Irish American. (Louisville, Ky.) 1898-1968, 1898-08-20

to the extent of paying off the notes he had
given to settle his deals. He succeeded
in this and also in again restoring his
fortune to the point of wealth.
John Cudahy is born speculator. He
is also trained packer, for in the early
days of his youth when it became neces-
sary for him to earn his own living he
engaged in pork and beef packing bust
ness as a boy with Edward Roddis, of
Milwaukee. He soon became trusted
employee, as his native honor and great
energy enabled him to grasp and preserve
the interests of his employer. When 20
years of age he entered the Armour es-
Enlistment at Milwaukee and for FIVE
years followed the same course, winning
in respect and ability all the time. Then
he went to the Plankinton establishment,
his exceptional abilities putting him in a
position of great responsibility, which in
the usual term of FIVE years resulted in a
junior partnership.
He remained in Milwaukee as partner
with his brothers and Roddis when that
house was formed until 1876, when he
went to Chicago and associated himself
with Chaplin, uuder the name of Chaplin
& Co. In one year the firm name was
changed to Chaplin & Cudahy and John
began his career on the Board of Trade.
Then Michael and Patrick Edward Cud-
ahy bought out the Chaplin interest aud
John became a junior partner in the
packing concern. But he kept up his
pace on the board and in FIVE years after
going to Chicago was a millionaire and
recognized leader on the board.
In 1881 he had practically dropped out
of active interest in the packing business,
but was rapidly piling up a big fortune
in operations in pork and provisions with
an occasional dip into the grain market.
He pegged away generally on the bull
side of the market, although his great
shrew,lness at times enabled him to take
advantage of the bear side. Everything
he handled made money for him until
by the dawn of 1890 he was counted
among the wealthy men of Chicago.
Pork and lard were his favorites, and he
began operations in 1891 which caused
the financial agencies to place him over
the $4,O0O,00O in 1892
The deal which wrecked the fabric of
his fortune was commenced in that year.
Cudahy in 1892 made more money than
any man in Chicago. He was SO success

Mr.. Cudahy has large business interests
in Louisville, being associated with Mr..
Charles Byrne in the mammoth packing
house OH Story avenue, and his many
business friends as we'll as employees are
gratified over his merited success. The
article credits all to Chicagospluck, while
we insist that a great share is due his
Irish integrity and energy. Otherwise
we argree with the Chronicle, which says:
Chicago grit and resourcefulness are
we'll exemplified by the career of "Jack"
Cudahy. Had he possessed only trifie
less persistence, had he faltered for an
instant, failure complete and final would
have been his portion. Six years ago he
was rated at 100000. Six months
later he was rated at nearly $1,000 900
more, through daring deal in pork and
provisions. Five years ago August his
fortune was swept away in one day in the
Board of Trade When the smoke and
dust of that fight blew away John Cudahy
was something like 81 800, 099 poor THAI
penniless; he owed that sum above his
fortune. Last week he paid off all of his
obligations and is once more enrolled
among the. wealthy men of Chicago.
Grit was the potent factor in this re-
vival of fortune. Other men as skilled
in watching the speculative cat jump and
as ready to turn the leap to their private
benefit have failed and stayed out.
Cudahy failed at time when the nation
seemed on the verge of smashing and
when dollars were as big as cart wheels
to rich men. The prospects for his re-
covering from the terrific blow in the be-
lief of able financiers were mighty slim.
Yet he went to work and with hundreds
of thousands of dollars of paper against
his name he struggled gamely until with
in five years he has paid all and has
good big fortune besides.
There has been a peculias Feature to
John Cudahy's operations ever since he
was boy of IA. Five-year periods have
been most marked in all that he has done.
He was born in Callan. County Kilkenny,
Ireland, on November3, lS43. Early in
1S49 his parents came to this country.
When he was 10 years old they removed
to Milwaukee. At Is he entered Edward
Roddis' big packing-house and in few
years was trusted employee. Five years
after he began work for John Plankinton.
He rose to the position of manager and
in one more cycle of five years became a
partner, just as the war broke out. Then

A WAR IN RATES
Which May Extend From Ocean to

New York, Nov. 22.-Another disturb
ance in eastbound passenger rates has
been brought about through the action
Of some of the eastern trunk lines in ac-
cepting differentials from the Southern
Pacific and other transcontinental
roads. The New York Central, Lake
Shore and the Michigan Central roads
sent a notice to the Southern Pacific
management a few days ago authoriz-
ing the same passenger rates over their
lines from transcOntinential territory to
competitive points. beyond Chicago, as
are used over the differential fare lines,
f. e., 81 below the standard fare between
Chicago and New York.
All the eastern trunk lines, except the
Erie, to which a differential of 81 is al
lowed by the New York Central and the
Pennsylvania, promptly served notice
on all parties concerned that they
would insist on their differentiaI That
is if the strong lines put their rate from
Chicago to New York (fOr transconti-
mental business) down to $1S the differ
entail roads will insist on the right to
put their rates down to SIG in case of
further reductions. In the opinion of
the Broadway agents of the different
lines the situation promises a contro-
versy and probably war.
The New York Central people justify
their action on the ground that similar
action was authorized on westbOund
traffic by the trunk line association
some time ago.

LONGER HOURS.
MI. Stanley Says He Will Stay in His
Office Longer.

When w. E. Stanley becomes COVER
nor of Kansas there will be a change in
the matter of office hours for the chief
executive.
The custom has long been for the gov
ernor to go home on Friday and return
to the Office in this city on Tuesday or
Wednesday, the average time spent at
the office being from two to three days
each week.
Discussing this subject Mr.. Stanley
said: L do not understand how the
governor can attend to the business of
the office and be away from his official
duties so much. 1t seems to me that the
correspondence alone would require
more time than this. not to mention the
large amount of business which is con-
stantly arising.
when I take charge of the office I
hope to give the business thereof as
much attention and care as though it
were my own private business and I

HOW IS IT EXPLAINED =?
Prof. tombstone Administers Ex-
traordinarY Potions.

OF course everything that Prof. Paul
Alexander tombstone does has about
it an air of mystery. Some two months
ago one of the most prominent men of
Kansas called at Prof JohnstOne's
room, 519 Harrison street, and stated
he desired to take a course of Prof.
Johnstone's celebrated treatment for
nervous trouble. The brain was
effected, the nerve CenterS were weak
and inflamed the whole nerve structure
was involved, the vitality was practical
~ gone, and even here his troubles did
not end The stomach was weak, and
for several years this gentleman mad
not known what it was to pass per-
fectly restful night. Yesterday he call
ed at Prof. JOhnStOne's rooms for his
third and last months treatment.
You can never know what you have
done for me Prof tombstone" said the
caller. Il know possibly as well as does
any person my natural resources but
also realized how helpless I was as re-
CARDS my developing them unless I
could have restored unto me my health.
You have given me that which special
lists, health resorts and travel have fail
ed to give me and, as I have said, you
can never know how deep is my ap-
probation and everlasting gratitude. L
am free to confess that when I began
your treatment was very Skeptical as
to the result that would be obtained,
but I was urged by others, whom you
have cured, and I wish to say that I
thank them almost as much as I thank
you"
The question is, what does Prof.
tombstone give? That he possesses a
valuable secret in treating the nerve
structure is universally admitted; that
he has had a marvellous experience with
the nerves and brain no one questions;
but what the extraordinary ingredients
are, which he administers in order to
perfect his unusual cures, has not only
successfully puzzled the medical profess
sion, but the problem has still more
complicated an already interesting in
tricate subject. "They can not be OBJ
tanned in the average drug house; not
one apothecary in hundred, no, nor in
ten mundred carries so much as one of
the different pOtions I use, is all Prof.
tombstone will say.
