YOUNGEST RAILROAD PRESI-
DENT.

MIR. JOHN SHELTON WILLIAMS. OF
THE S. A. l.. HAS THIS HONOR
In regard to the enterprising president
of the Seaboard Air Line, Leslie's
Weekly has the following:
John Shelton Williams, aged So, is
the youngest railroad president in the
world. He is the head of the Seaboard
Air Line railway, aggregating nearly g.,
900 miles OF tracks. He had to work for
his living while mere lad, and two OF
the chief causes OF his rapid promotion
are his uncompromising integrity. and
his phenomenal capacity for hard work!
One of nine children-six brothers. and
three sisters-he entered the banking
house OF his father, John T.. Williams, of
Richmond, Va, in his early teens.
With the assistance of his father. who
left the University OF Virginia with his
masters degree, the boy compassed his
own education in the classics. He work
ed at night and into early hours or the
morning, and before he had reached his
majority, had compiled manual for in
vestors, which. by reason Of its breadth.
and completeness. attracted
the attention of financieis in all the
great cities From this time the bank
ing house of John L. Williams e Sons.
began to grow, until II reached the emf
nent place 1t now holds. OF excellent
physical build and power. Mr.. Williams
still turns night into day, his browning
performance having been so brilliant as
to attract the wonder of financicrs. In
the face of the strongest opposition he
has achieved in one year the physical
and financial consolidation ofthe Sea-
board Airline, theF1orida Central and
Peninsrilar railway,and the Georgia and
Alabama railway,of which system he
was president as early as 1895. AS a re-
suit, new system, the Florida and
West India Short Line (Seaboard Air
Line), shorter than any of its compe-
tttors by 100 miles, has been completed
through the richest territory of the
South, extending from New York to
Tampa, Fla"

BACK TAX COLLECTING.
THE COLLECTOR REALIZES HF.
HAS y BIG JOB BEFORE HIM.


HAS y BIG JOB BEFORE HIM.
Mr. Brooke. the Collector of Dolin-
quent Taxes, elected about five weeks
ago. is having a hard time making out
the bills. He has been unable to start
the work of collecting TO any extent so
far.
AS his compensation is contignent
upon his collections-a 20 per cent.
commission-he has already done more
than a months work without any pay
as yet 1t is hardly probable that any
one will offer themselves as an appli-
cant for the position In opposition to
him under the circumstances He was
elected to serve until July LIST. but it
was generally understood that as he
would hardly finish his preliminary
work by that time. he would be his own
successor.
AS an evidence OF the trying position
of the Delinquent Tax Collector the
following answer to n request to pay up
back taxes may be instanced. The de-
linquent taxpayer wrote:
Il amt going to pay this hill. have
paid too much taxes and licenses al
ready"
That was tcrse and pointed enough
to dishearten almost any collector, hut
as the man with the delinquent bills
has power of distraint, it may be that
the delinquents tune will necessarily
change.

Such, senators, is the case submitted
to you, and the evidence in its support.
1t is evidence Inadequate to sustain an
indictment against a tramp for petty
larceny; incompetent In a suit against
a railroad company for burning a hays
stack; ridiculous against a senator sent
here to represent a sovereign state In
this congress-, where SO many questions
o. such great Importance are to be con-
sidered. We make nc appeal to senato-
rial courtesy. We do not ask you to
consider the loss to the senate inc to
the United States by the exclusion of a
gentleman of such wide experience with
men and affairs. such broad practical
wisdom, such varied learning. such
kindness of disposition, such loyalty to
his friends, such readiness to sacrifice
himself for the public good. But we de-
mand the application of the same rules
of law and evidence that would be en-
forced against a negro charged with

jected to such a searching investigation
into his private business as has been
submitted to by this respondent and by
every member of the Montana legisla-
ture against whom any evidence has
been offered tending to show bribery.
Could a guilty man have escaped this
ordeal unscathed? We believe that our
evidence when read in it's entirety will
eradicate from the minds of each of you
every suspicion of corruption at the
senatorial election of Montana in 1899.
But should some lurking doubts remain,
by the law of this senate as well as by
the common law all doubts must be re-
solved in favor of the party accused.
Suspicion is not evidence and can not
justify a decision. We now that as
senator's you will sign no report which
as lawyers you could not defend.
Continuing Foster said defense would
not be satisfied with mere acquittal. They
wanted and expected a complete vindica-
ton. He then made an effort to prove
the conspiracy which charge, he claimed,
was supported by a proof of threats be-
fore and after Clark's election and by it's
probability to satisfy an ancient grudge.
Foster had not concluded when the COM
mittee adjourned for the day.

The Changing oeysers.

It Is said that the recent visitors to the Yellowstone Park have discovered that the famous geysers there are gradually subsiding. One newspaper believes that If their force continues to diminish In the degree in which 1t has diminished in the last four years. the geysers wil probably become ex- tinet within a decade. This Is what these recent visitors claim to have dis covered: That Roaring Mountain, although still circulating steam, no longer roars, and therefore, no longer deserves its name; that Black Growler. in Norris Basin, is in a feeble state. and that Fou1tain Geyser, in the Low CT Basin, and the Splendid and Bee hive Geyser, in the Upper Basin, are practically dead. We have seen Do eyi- denee to prove that these reports are not true. Certainly no one could de- rive any benefit from their deeeitfu, manufacture
