Its First Customers Were Brokers, Who
Caused 1t to Become Popular.
The first hanson cab in America had
an interesting history. a reminiscent,
voluble; red faced cabby told it late the
other night up by the Thirty-third street
stand. 1t was brought over in 1870 or
1871 by John Patent of the Pacific hotel,
III Greenwich street, just above Cort-
landt, and it cost go. Its driver was old
John Carter of Liverpool, since de-
ceased, who came to New York in 1861.
The original cab that John Carter drove
was a handsome one, made very much
like those now in use, but it had a claret
body and red running gear. An interest
ing feature of II was that it was boil
stored with a pair of patent axles, which
Were so complicated that Carter was the
only man who could grease them.
For some reason the cab was not put
into running Immediately after 1t was
imported, but was laid up in the stable
for J, years. Then John Carter ran it
from the Pacific hotel, but there was
not business enough there, and he went
down TO the corner of Broad street and
Exchange place, where trade flourished,
and he used to get fares from the big
brokers MorOSiui WAS said TO have been
a good customer of his, and Jay Gould,

about the Stock Exchange for four years,
and then 1t broke down, ending the ca

PRESIDENT KRUGER, according to

the president of the little South Afri-

not Il republic then. the democratic
form of government coming into eX-
istence later. Kruger has several
relatives in Michigan. most of them
living in Detroit and Holland. 1t
was there he visited for several weeks.
Those who saw him then and and re-
mem Der his characteristics say that
he impressed an observer as having
remarkable bulldog courage. and as
one who. once convinced of the right
eousness of his cause, would turn
backward at nothing less than divine
command. Frequently in the most
unimportant matters he would fall
back on a quotation from the bible rs
a justification of his stand. and in
this trait he evidently has not
changed. He spent live weeks in
Michigan, and returned to South
Africa by way of New York and Eng

had seen in the United States

tion begun 10y Miss Helen Gould
Brigham Ioung's statement of the

Here it i: This last agitation was
begun because it was recognized that
the former crusade against Mr.. Rob
erts had died. and they are now try
ing To galvanize little life into the
corpse before congress convenes.
They talk of protecting the purity of
the home. Well, if there are any
homes among the circle of the agita-
tors purer than that of Mr.. Roberts
should like TO see them. Mr.. Roberts
is God-fearing man. but like many
others he feels he must live out his
life. The most sacred ties and duties
obligate him to do this, and that is
all there is to it. There are no poly
gamous marriages being contracted
among our people, and if polygamy Is
permitted to die natural death it
will disappear with the passing away
of the older men of the church who
have contracted these marriages"
