II to II years old, as Mr.. Huntington
says, to be used up in filling the mind
with mere book knowledge.

The late Mr.. Flowers ambition was to
be President of the United States, and
at the hour of his death he was nursing
It,. He made no blow about it, but i'll his
quiet, self-contained way he never let
his his Intimate friends forget that the busy
bee was humming in his bonnet. Only a
few weeks ago he took under his wing al
influential politician from distant
Southern state-a man who controls

any way he likes. l do not know what
promises were made; but the ex-gdvern-
or would not have bothered Himself
about this acquaintance but for the fact
that he expected some day to use his in

market that put many thousands of dol
lars i'll his pocket and sent him home a
devoted adherent to the Flower forces.
Already the keepers of the lighthouses
along the shores of the Hudson river are
beginning to get their navilions in shape
! for the business of the summer season.
1t will surprise many to know that prob
ably more people battle in the Hudson
! river within the limits of the city than
! at almost any summer resort they can
name. 1t is still water bathing, but

easily accessible to the ters of thousands

seashore sojourners, are liberal patrons
! of the lighthouses above Riverside bark,
and the young women vie with each other
| in wearing stunning costumes and carry

sisters do at the beach summer hotels.
The latest news from Paris that is

that a new. costume will have to be i'll

This would go to prove that private au

In the rush and excitement in which
millions Of dollars changed hands OH
Wall street Saturday after the death of
Roswell p Flower became known, and
| the Flower holdings were being pounded
to DEATH" many Of the wildest-eyed spec
ulators forgot that the day was the tif
teenth anniversary of the Grant & Ward
| failure 1t was a rather strange coin
cidence and before the day was over it
proved equally as disastrous for some as
IL, 1884. To many of the active men
on the street the anniversary of the ia
nous failure was not recalled until to-
day.
The newspaper men in the street lost a
warm friend in Flower. In the last year
and half he made a dozen or more
richer than they had ever dreamed of be-
ing. He never misled. In his office. in
| the three great months before Christmas,
| they were wont to congregate to learn
the financial news of the day, the trend
of the market, etc. He or some other
member of his firm would walk around
the room, saying, well, boys, we are
| going to put Federal Steel up about six
points today" Then, after few min,
utes of general chat, he would continue:
"Joe, how much do you want? Can you
stand 100 shares?' Joe says he can,
and the order is booked. Charlie, want
100? More if you like it," Charlie
takes 200. He asks each i'll turn, some
taking as much as 500 shares of the GER
tainty-a Flower stock-anything with
Flowers name. to it meant lead-pipe
| cinch.

would have serious and lasting effect is
