JOHN INSLEE BLAIR.
AMAssED $50, 900. 900 AND LIVED
TO HIS e8TH YEAR.
He Was the Owner of More Railroads
than Any Other Man and Was Also
the Biggest Land Owner In the United
States.

One Of the richest of Americans, John
Inslee Blair, died at his home In Blalrs-
town, N. r., from old age, being In his
ty-eighth year. For very rich
man he was comparatively unknown
and his entire life was passed on and
near the Delaware River, where it di-
vides Northern New Jersey from Penn
sylvania, which tended all the more to
his obscurity. But his departure opens
up to view rare and splendid charac-
ter who made the most of his opportunt-
ties and the possibilities for rapid en-
richment only to be found in our own
country.
Mr.. Blair came Of Scotch blood, his
ancestors settling in New Jersey In
1920. They were Presbyterians Of the
most orthodox type. The subject of
this sketch was born Aug. %, 1902, at
Belvidere, N. J. He was one of eleven
C. ildren, eight sons and three daugh-
ters.
The first money he earned was by
trapping rabbits and muskrats and
selling their skins at 81 for sixteen. Be
fore he was II years old he was clerk
In the general store Of his brother, at
Hope, N. J. At II he owned store OF
his own. He became postmaster at
Butts Bridge. He started two of his
brothers in business and they, too,
prospered. At one time he had five gen.
eral stores in as many towns. He es-
tablished the Belvidere Bank in 1881.
A cotton mill fell into his hands and he
operated it for several years. He bought
a cargo Of cotton which was supposed
to be damaged, but which was injured
very little, and In one year made $115,-
OOO-an enormous profit in those days.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1899-12-28

There are other Bill Anthonys. Brave
men who have faced dangers in food
and field, but find the everyday strug-
gle Of life more menacing, more trying
than facing shot and shell. And there
are many men and women who have
done nothing more heroic than to keep
up with the procession" until now, but
who feel discouraged and are not sure
Of the future. To all such 1t may be
said that, however safe and easy our
posterity may find the path Of life, In
days to come when perhaps justice
and order reign, the conditions to-day
give splendid opportunity for charac-
performing. For this cause we should
deem ourselves fortunate that we live
in an age Of stress and strife. For this
reason we should set ourselves stead
tasty to our daily tasks, however
hard Mark Tapley, one Of Dickens
cleverest creations, accepted every
hardship and trial as an opportunity
for gaining credit to himself for cheer
fulness and helpfulness. That Is the
spirit in which we can succeed. This
Is the ideal which we can carry with
us in daily life and conquer.

An Ancient Coin.

One Of the priced curios Of the Phil
adelphia mint is coin which is 1000
years old, and which was coined at the
ancient mint of that other Philadelphia
of the far east mentioned in the Bible.
1t is still in good condition, and the in
scription is perfectly legible. The de-
sign on the face of the coin bears a
striking resemblance to the Goddess of
Liberty of our own currency, and I'M
derneath is the one word, Demos"
which means ''the people" On the
other side is the figure of Diana, with
her bow arehed, and the inscription,
"Diana, Friend of the Philadelphians. y
When this coin was struck off Philadel-
phia was the most important city of
Lydia.

,n.ted Abraham Lincoln for the Presi-


dency.
A few years ago Mr.. Blair, with con.
siderable pride, made the stateneu'
that he had built every road WIN
which he had ever been connected ZOE
cash and without putting doiial :
worth of its stock on the market 70 faiSe
money. He calculated that In MS ran
road operations he had spent $1o'oOo,,
600. all of which he either ADVANCED
himself or raised among his IrlenuS'
The fortune left by Mr.. Blair Is not less
than $4,000, 600 and may reach Wv
100000.
His home in Blairstown, Wnlch ne
founded, was simple one for one Will
such vast possessions. AS his millions
came to him he never thought OF leav-
ing his two-story frame house, WIN
it's green shutters and the cupola In the
center Of the fat roof. That was sum
cient. So he lived to the end OF MS me-
simple and homely, hating ostentauon
and loving and being loved In return
by everyone who dwelt in his town. An
enthusiastic Republican, in 1858, MS
party made him candidate for Gov
ernor, but he was beaten at the polls.
The campaign cost him 100000.
