P, D. ARMOUR IN THE PANIC or 1898.
HOW HE GOT READY FOR STORM WHEN TIE
SKY WAS CLEAR


From The Chicago Inter-Ocean.
In 1892 the old man was on one of his
nual trips to the German mineral waters. At
Carlsbad he met the moneyed men of Europe
and he put together all the hints that he got
from this one and that one, and out of these
hints he evolved theory. He packed his grip
and started for home, and the day he landed
in New-York he telegraphed for the heads of his
departments to meet him in Chicago
How S business?" he asked, cheerfully as he
sat down in the midst of the pOwwow and with
in range of twenty telegraph machines.
Never better making money hand fist"
said the managers.
Cut everything down to the very edge" said
the old man, in a very busnesslike way.
There's storm brewing. Haul in sail. Stack
up every dollar of cash in the vaults that you
can get your hands on Go into the money
streets and use the name of P D. Armour for
all it is worth. Get every dollar to be had, and
then come back and tell about it."
They all believed in their hearts that the old
was getting panicky, but they did exactly

That's not nearly enough Go out and get

dollar you can, and get it just as quickly as you

One of the first things to happen in the des-
perate financial straits a run on the biggest
banks in Chicago. One morning a messenger
brought word that mob lined up in front
of the Illinois Trust and Savings Bank, and
that the people were demanding their money.
Some of the most conservative business
had lost their heads, and the rush enough
to stagger any set of bank officials. Ogden

This must be stopped. said P d Armour.
He waited minute to arrange the everyday
bunch of roses in the horn vase on his desk,
said the man who told this story, and then he
snatched up his hat and started for the bank"
Mr. Armour mingled with the crowd on the
sidewalk in front of the bank, going first to one
and then TO another. pledging his own credit for
the deposits. He never left the place until the
closing hour, and by that time the run had
stopped He went back to his office and issued
a call for a meeting of Chicago business men
the next morning. Then he cabled to London
and bought half million dollars in gold on his
own account. He ate a little luncheon and
drove out to Armour Institute that afternoon

CONSUMPTION.

In view Of the increasing num-
Der of people afflicted with con-
sumption who are tlocking to Color
ado, the Board Of Health of that
STATE has issued set of rules show
ing how consumption may be pre-
vented. Colorado appears to be get
ting alarmed over the number of
tuberculosis patients who are hast
ening to the breezy heights of that
region to alleviate their affliction.
The death rate from consumption
in Colorado is markedly on th<
increase. so much SO as to incite
the health officials to take strin-
gent measures.
The promulgated rules are not
to be taken as crusade against
consumptives, with whom, they
state, any person may associate as
freely as if they are we'll if only
the ordinary precautions are taken.
Three sources of danger are poin-
ted out as being most harmful.
expectoration, milk and meat.
The rules with regard to expect
oratioo are known to every one.
Infected milk is made safe by Toll
ing or heating to 10 degrees F.
for 80 minutes. Tuberculosed
meat has to be left to the Wig lance
of the Health Officer.
Among the rules for consump-
lives are some advising the patient
to carry readily destroyable pocket
spit cups, which may be burned
when necessary. Fresh air, sun
light and weekly disinfection Of
the sickroom are commended. For
those who are predisposed to the
disease it is said that consumption
is almost never hereditary, but is
acquired by careless association
with those afflicted with the dis
ease. Living in the open air and
''roughing it, as much as possible
is advised.

CONSIDERING RESTITUTION.
Bank Officials Hope to Come Out
Nearly Whole on the DefauIter's
Property,

NEW YORK, October 25-.The Evening
World, following up the reports that Cor
nelius L. Alvord, the absconding teller of
the First National Bank was hiding in his
Mt. Vernon home, says
Developments this morning indicate
that the whereabouts of Cornelius L. AL
First National Bank, are known both to
his attorneys and the bank Officials.
That no warrant for his arrest has been
asked is due to- the efforts of his friends
to induce him to make restitution.
Negotiations are now on with the bank
officials in their behalf that will lead, it
is said, to the restoration within a few
days of almost half the amount stolen.
"Alvord's arrest would be an immediate
bar to restitution on his part.
Meanwhile. the man, who is said by in
innate friends, to be in his house at Mt.
Vernon. and b. others to be somewhere in
the vicinity, is under the close surveil-
lance of detectives. His escape is an i'm
possibility.
"Alvord is said to have had an enormous
sum in ready cash when he took his final
departure from the bank.
This, with his real estate holdings, sew
eral blocks of securities, his wife's dia-
monds, his horses and livery and his in
terest in several New York business con-
Germs, and under consideration in the ne
gotiations between Alvord's friends and
those from whom he stole.
"One of the absconder's friends asserts
that Alvords holdings when realized on
will make him only 100000 to the bad on
the amount of his defalcation."
Fisher a. Baker, counsel for the bank
and one of it's directors, said to-day that
there was no truth in report that Alvord
had gone to his home last night, or that
the bank officers knew where he was. Mr..
Baker was asked: rs it true that the
bank is trying to make an arrangement
with Alvord through Lawyer Miller for
the return of the stolen money!"
I'VE would be fools not to recover all we
can, but would not think of compromising
with a thief
why has the bank not asked for war
rant for Alvords arrest?'
Il won't say that warrant has not
been requested"
