The Saint Paul globe., 1900-05-13

Since the days of the spectacular opera
tions Of Jay Gould and Jim" Fisk no
man has created such commotion in
Wall street as John W. Gates has aroused
by his recent operations. The manner in
which. at a single stroke. the stock Of
the American Steel and Wire company
was made to slump twenty points inevi-
tably suggested the methods of the
former Wizard" The coup took the
spectators entirely by surprise, with the
result that what is known as "the TALENT

Among the specuIa tive element Mr.
Gates is as cordially hated just at present
as a man well can be. 1t is not likely
that Mr.. Gates himself is wasting any
sleep over this fact. for, according to re-
port, the transaction has brought him
substantial balm in the form of some
thing like million and three-quarters of

This is not the first time that the finan-

from Troy, and last March. on his twen-
ty-ninth birthday, he visited his home

quarter He kept it in his pocket for
two or three days after getting back and
thought nothing more about it until /
happened in. Then he told me he had a
coin with Fly on it. He showed II to
me and recognized 1t at once as the
one / had stamped in Louisville lust
twenty-nine years before.
SOME STRANGE CONDOLENCES
''The coin itself was minted In 1857, so
it was fourteen years old when stamped
it. By comparing notes with Mr.. Ken
nedy 1t further developed that I had
stamped it in Louisville on the day he
was born in Troy. After the coin had
been travelling all over the United States
for twenty-nine years it falls into his
hands in his native town on his twenty
ninth birthday, and he, a casual ac-
quaintance, brings it to New York and
returns it to me.

to show how little this world of ours Is,

can fulfill all of the requirements OF
ythe Act of 1895, which was passed to
prevent suits for damages arising out
of political differences. If, however,
that barrier could be overcome in a
suit quasi contractu, for instance, then
the Government says ii is no. liable
anyway on the law. That those who
have lost must pocket their losses and
take a new start, for no liability at
taches when the pubic takes and des-
troys private property for sanitary rea-
sons.
There are plenty OF cases to sustain
that view, but they will not long re-
main law. They are founded on wrong
principles, and most of them actually
cite, as authority, class of cases
which have arisen out OF destruction
of buildings to arrest the progress OF
fires. In these cases the reasoning has
been, that as the building would have
been burned anyway the owner suffers
no loss If it is blown UP instead OF
burnt up, and SO the pubic will not
pay. But the case of the sacrifice OF
a building to arrest the progress OF
plague stands an another basis. 1t is
a pain taking of private property for
the public benefit and although net

YOU cannot adapt your eyes

you can squeeze your feet into
shoes several times too small.
Glasses must be fitted to your
eyes, as well as shoes to your
feet; only with greater care.
Because Grandpa was able TO
see with a pair of glasses select
. ed from a lot placed before him,
is no reason why you should do
the same thing. In the first place,
you don't know how well Grand
pa really did see, and Grandpa
never did know how well others

proper Judge. The world has
progressed since he bought HE
glasses that way; some few do
so still-more's the pity-but
the large majority appreciate the
value of scientific fitting Of eyes,
and its consequent comfort.
