usual way before tribunal of the society

culprit was represented by able counsel but
the sentence was death-as was eynected

streaming with perspiration, and said he
could bear the burden of his troubles no
longer; he had not slept for week, and
he must tell his story or he should go mad
He was generally accounted very
wealthy man. but he told Mr.. Depew that
he was the verge OF ruin and that in
his collapse many other business men
would suffer.
Mr.. Depew got all the facts from him.
talked with him through a great part of
the night and finally mapped out plan by
which he believed the business could be
saved. The man accepted the plan. The
next day he employed some of the best
lawyers in New York to carry it out. In
six months, re-established in the business
world. he sent Mr.. Depew check for a
large sum, with a letter saying it was only
a part of what he believed he owed him.
Not So Very Rich.
In Mr.. Depew is found another man who
makes fortunes for others while doing lit
tie or nothing for himself Mr.. Depew has
always been too generous to grow rich,
while he has helped others to make mil
lions. At the time he considered for
ambassador to Great Britain Mr.. Depew
was the indorSer on notes for business
friends for S2I5oo0 Since that time he
has had to meet these notes, and, to pro-
tect himself, has had to buy in the proper
ties securing them. By good management
he will be able to save himself from much
loss.
Mr. Depew has had other drains on his
resources which have helped to keep him
out of the ranks of rich men. He has paid
for the education of half a dozen young
men of ambition, and for nearly a quarter
of a century he has supported three fami-
lies beside his own.
In accepting the position of senator Mr.
Depew will sacrifice large part of his in
come probably. He has not had to meet
the question of what he would do in the
matter of his railroad offices yet. The ad-
ministration al Washington is opposed to
an extra session of Congress, so he will
probably not have to meet it till December
next. There is no doubt that he will have
to give uD some of his business associa-
tons. though, for he has always been con-
scientiously devoted to the duties of his
business positions and he cannot attend to
all of them and to his social engagements
and be a United States senator at the same
time. In fact, il is surprising to those
who know the demands made on his time
now that he is able to do so many things
and to do them all so well.
l asked Mr. Depew recently how he man.
aged to be the active head of a great rail-
road system. the personal representative
of the Nanderblts. an active participant in
political campaigns, devotee of society
and the greatest dinner goer in the United
States at the same time.
Il think it is because | have a splendid
constitution said Mr.. Depew. IF l were
not in perfect health all the time l should
not be able to accomplish nearly much.
Besides, L am very methodical man. L
