Gould to get it. Here came Brice's
strategy. He told Gould that if ho
would sit silent and not contradict,
neither affirm nor deny any newspaper
article to the effect that he was going
to buy the Nickel Plate and after this
clamlike silence had continued for a
week. if he would then slowly ride over
the Nickel Plate in an observation ca,
Vanderbilt would buy the road and
he would give Gould 100000.
Gould didn't care for the 100000,
but he was a jocose Spectator, and it
struck him that the whole thing would
be majestic joke on Vanderbilt. And
that was the story of it. The papers
came out and said Gould was going to
buy the Nickel Plate. Gould, when
asked, kept mum and looked wise. At
the end of week he meandered, snail
like, over the Nickel Plate, smoking
cigars from the rear end Of an OBJ
servatlon car and had all the air of a
man who was looking at a piece OF
property. Stories were wired about
Gould's trip from every water tank and
way station along the line and before
Gould had reached Chicago Vanderbilt,
in a fit of Mysteries, wired Brice that
he would take the Nickel Plate. Van
derbilt took the Nickel Plate and Brice
was saved.

READS LIKE ROMANCE.
THE LIFE STORY OF THE LATE
SENATOR BRICE.
A Man of Terrific Energy Who Never
Could Do Things on a Small Scale
Some Anecdotes of His Career as a
Flnancier.

The late Calvin S. Brice was born at
Denmark, o., Sept. II, 1S45, his father
being William X Brice, a Presbyterian
minister, and his mother Elizabeth
Stewart Brice. The family remained
at Denmark for three years after the
birth of Calvin, when they moved TO
Columbus Grove, Putnam county, in
the same state. When 10 years old
young Brice entered the preparatory
department of Miami university, at
Oxford, o. At the outbreak Of the
war he enlisted in Capt. Dodd's Uni
versity company, one of the first to be
formed at the outbreak Of the war,
His company remained at Camp jack
son. Columbus, O., until the fall of
1861, when he returned to college, only
to re-enlist in April, 1862, in another
university organization commanded by
Captain Mcfarland, which later on was
merged into the Eighty-siXth Ohio in
fantry and known as company A. He
remained in the organization during
its summer campaign in West Virginia
and then returned to the university,
where he was graduated in 1868. After
graduating he taught in the public
schools and later on received an ap-
pointment as auditor Of Allen county
In July, 1864, he again Joined the fed
eral forces, having received a commits
sion as captain of company E, One
Hundred and Eighteenth Ohio tnfan-
try. He served in the field with the
Twenty-third army corps in Tennessee,
Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia
until the close of the war. He was APP
pointed Heutenant-colonel, but never
mustered in. He then took a course
in the law department of the Uniyer-
sity of Michigan at Ann Arbor, and
was admitted to the bar in the spring
of 1866, when he began practice at
Lima o. His first experience as
railroad lawyer was in the legal de-
partment of the Lake Erie and Louis
vile railroad, in which corporation he
acquired a moderate share OF stock and
played an energetic part in construc-
tion Of extensions of that road. Brice
certainly had a remarkable career. 1t
is no time at all since he hadn't enough
to flag a bread wagon. 1t was in
Governor Fosters time as chief magis-
trate of Ohio when Brice, then a poor
hard-up lawyer managed to get into
$4,000. One day Brice came to Foster
and told him the law business didn't
'ay and asked him to appoint him to

Canada's new penny postage stamp
is to be unique. When Postmaster
General Mulock was in England recent
ly he was struck by the failure of the
great mass of the people there to ap-
preciate at their true value the por-
tons of British empire beyond the sea.
The thought occurred to him that no
more effective object lesson of the
vastness and solidarity of the empire
could be given than by presenting a
picture on the new imperial penny
postage stamps, contrasting the dimen-
lions of Great Britain with those of all
other powers. The feature of the stamp
is a neatly executed map of the world
in miniature, distinguishing the Brit
sh empire from the possessions of all
other powers The British possessions
are printed in red, and these stand out
in bold relief against a dark back
ground. Surmounting this picture is a
representation Of the crown, under
meath which is bunch of oak and ma
pie leaves, symbolizing the unity OF
Great Britain and Canada.-New York

WILHELMINA'S BETROTHED.

The long-talked-of betrothal Of the
youthful and interesting Queen Will
helmina of Holland has at last been
virtually decided, the happy fance and
future Dutch prince consort being his
highness Prince William of Wied, a
kinsman of her majesty.
The queen, as is generally known,
was IS at her accession, Aug. 81, and
Prince William will be % March &c.
He was born at Neuwied, the capital
of his fathers domains, situated in
Rhenish Prussia, and is lieutenant
of the Prussian regiment of the corps

He belongs to the evangelical church
and the queen to the reformed. The
princes parents are H. S. H. the reign

a position where he might make liv-

Cant" said Foster; you're a dem

Il admit" replied Brice, that I am
slightly a democrat, but if you'd give
me a position I'll guarantee that no
body will notice It,"
Cant do It," said Foster. ITO ap-
point a democrat would ruin me-"
But you'll never get your $4,000"

ter. 81 am all tangled up with Hook

change, and l want somebody to go
there and look after things. I'll send
you if you'll CO."
Brice jumped at the chance. Foster
gave him $500 and lot of direc-
tions, and impressed upon him solemn
ly the necessity of doing just what he
was told. If Brice had been a waiter
he would have taken your order aud
then brought you anything he pleased.
He would have used his own judgment.
| That's what he did with Foster s
Hooking Valley deal, but he clawed
off a $4,000 profit, whereas, if he had
done as Foster told him he would have
lost all. Foster was delighted, and,
like a good old man in a story book, he
gave the young man $4,000. Then
Brice went back to Wall street and
plunged.
Brice's greatest play was building
the Nickel Plate. He put in every dol
lar he could get, and from any source
| There came a time, too, when to save
| himself from utter ruin, If not from
something worse, he had to sell. He
went to Vanderbilt whose road the

Plate He said he could afford to wait
for the first mortgage foreclosure and
buy it from the sheriff.

said Brice.

and then he gave the anxious Brice
a second edition of "the laugh"

He shines His Shoes, soIes.

"There goes q man that got his
moneys WORTH" exclaimed the tar
faced bootblack as he bit his nickel
before putting it in his pocket.
''You needn't tell me that that man
amt vain, neither, cause I'll have to
pass it back to you. Funny thing
about him!"
The bootblack folded up his rags
and seated himself on his stand. The
man he spoke of was one of those in
dividuals with iron gray hair and
black, we'll brushed clothing-an &C.
centric appearing man, and eccentric,
indeed, if the bookblack's story is
true. 4
"That man gets his shoes shined on
the bottom" said young Ebony, sad
ly. "What do you think Of that?
He amt satisfied to see hisself III the
tops Of his shoes, but he wants the
bottoms the same way. Course we
can do it all right, specially under
the insteps, but it goes kind O. funny"

it's just habit, sitting with his feet

Reports from Fall River, says the
Dry Goods Economist, show the year
1898 to have been hard one with cot
ton manufacturers in that centre. The
previous year, it had been thought,
was bad enough, the average dividend
yielded on a capital of nearly 1914, 000,
900 amounting to but 3.38 per cent,
against SIS per cent. in 1895. Last
year, however, the average earnings
on the same capital amounted to 2.22
per cent. This gradual decrease in
dividends is not surprising when we
learn that little money has been spent
on new equipments during the year.
Experiments are, however, going on
with new weaving machinery, and, as
result, of the recent agreement be-
tween a number of the factories, mill
stocks have advanced and prices have
improved. Hence it may be that Fall
River, having begun to sell its pro-
duct with more intelligence, may
within the next twelve months have
the nerve TO put in modern machinery
capable of producing the very highest
grades of cotton goods, and thus once
more provide for itself basis for sub
stantial prosperity.
