CLEVER HORSE THIER.

Columbus, Nov 19.--The town mar
shal of Logan is a most accommodating
official, as can be proven by the police
department of this city, Saturday
while making an effort to overhaul the
man who purchased a horse at Brlce
from Joe Carrier which he stole from
Mr.. III. p. Schaeffing. OF this city, De-
tective Dundon telephoned to Logan
and other places in the southern part of
the state asking them to be on the
watch for the purchaser and the horse,
and TO detain them until the local po-
lice department could secure possession
or the animal. A description OF the
horse was furnished all the towns no.
Last evening Captain Russell re :
ceived a telephone message from the
mayor at Logan. The mayor stated thai
Mr. Schaeffing's horse had beeA located
at that place and was then In possess
sion OF the town marshal. He said
stranger visited the town during the
day and offered q horse for sale. The
marshal purchased It for $40 and after
the fnller had departed he discovered
that II was the animal wanted by the
police OF this city. and that II Allied the
description which he had in his pocket

ment and unity Of the community in
which he lived, without exercising the
jury system. These remarks OF these
speakers tonight, are a great compli-
ment to the judiciary Of our country,
showing the high esteem In which are
held their integrity and their judgment.
Some one must be disappointed. The
disappointed party does not cast any
reflection upon the presiding judge.
That jury won't sit on another case Of
his as long as he lives. There is not
civilized country in the world today
that does not stand by the jury system.
If they undertook to dispense with the
jury system we can see how they would
suffer. Every state constitution pro-
held inviolable. The constitution of the
United States originally did not contain
such a provision for a jury in civil
cases, only for criminal cases. Criti-
cism resulted, heated discussions fol-
lowed; friends of the constitution took
the position that these matters were
within the powers Of the states, and
this system in civil cases was finally
adopted by the states. Th' first ses-
sion of the American congress took up
first the right of trial by jury. 1t was
q most important measure"
Judge Day: THE greatest power
perhaps anywhere given a body of men
is reposed by the constitution of the
United States In the supreme court Of
our country. We have the only system
among civilized men in which bench
of judges may nullify law. of the leg
islative branch of the assembly by de-
claring It not in accord with the written
constitution. And that great power as
reposed in those parties is the senti-
ment of the next toast, The Judges"
The toastmaster then introduced
HON. J. ]. GRANT.
Mr.. Grant said that he was conscious
that there were many present at the
banquet who occupied high judicial po-
sitions. He said 1t Is the ambition of
every young attorney to some day as
cend to that high office. He called the
attention of the Dar of Stark county to
| the independence of the court. He
| said we are approaching times when
new questions are to be considered
and that the effects of the local judi
cial courts will radiate and become part
of the general movement of mankind
He desired to always have maintained
the proposition that our judiciary Is
| above all and altogether in the right
He paid eulogies to the judgment gone
| before.
Toastmaster Day: When a Judge as
cends the judicial bench, It Is expected
of him and II Is known of him that he
| Is fitted for the place and that he will
be honest and faithful to that cause
Let him carry with him honor and never
forget, when trying cases, that he came
to the bench from the bar: let him
never forget that ne must have the
same zeal, the same earnestness and the

same espousal of the cause; and he
will make a tolerabiy fair Judge"
"The noblest Roman of them all, was
the eloquent and eulogistic manner in
which the toastmaster referred to Judge
]. A. Amber, of Salem, the father Of
Judge r. s. Amber. Of this city.
THAT the mantle OF the father is
worthy to fall upon the shoulders Of
the son." was the Introductory by the
toastmaster OF Judge n. s. Ambler
to the guests. Judge Amber said in
substances:
II am very grateful to the toast
master for his kind words, and hope
that will merit them. The kind of
men who served upon the bench In
this subdivision for the past fifteen
years that have been at this bar, have
honored the place. / hope their sue
cessors may. The character and abil-
ity of all of those judges. from Judge
Nichols to Judge Pease, down to the
present time, ought to inspire younger
man to use his best efforts and energies
to try to maintain the high standard
which they have made. do not enter
upon the work with these assurances,
but I want to try and satisfy the obli-
cations; and with the cooperation Of
the members of the bar. which be-
lieve / will have, and the assistance
and counsel of my able and experienced
asBOciate, i hope TO merit ana nave
some of the success. At times we were
not able to agree with Judge Taylor
and some times complained and took
exceptions when the rulings were
against us. But whether the ruling Of
Judge Taylor were for or against
us, we placed confidence in
his rulings. trusting and knowing he
was always In the right and his deci-
sions hard to reverse. We are here to-
night not to praise Judge Taylor. but
to honor him: and I do honor him for
his dignities and his integrity. don't
think 7 could add anything to what has
already been said. unless refer to his
rare good common sense which has
been so conspicuous In All his decisions
and his rulings upon the he-oh when

where there seemed to be no precedent.

experience at the bar end upon the

how TO MAKE AND KEEP A FORTUNE.

(By Chas. T. Yerkes, Multi-Millionaire.,
Any man who has health, good bust
ness Judgment, energy and ambition
should not speculate to make money.
He should pick out some good business
for which he is ADAPTED and which II.
likes and stick to it.
That is I have done all OF my
life.
1 have made the bunk of my fortune by
a combination of good luck and good
Judgment. Some of it 1 did make by
speculation, but just as certain as the
sun rises and sets, if l had continued to
speculate l would be broke today.
| nave said the man who ~speculates Is
an ioict. and l believe it. l have said
that l have never seen a ticker player.
who made any money and kept it, and T
mean by that that the man who goes
to the ticker when it starts and does not
leave 1t until it stops for the day.
mean the man who ~speculates in securi-
ties that he knows nothing about and
acts upon information he receives at
second, third or fiftieth hand, with no
intention Of ever actually holding the
stocks he puts up his margin for.
Now, a man like Russell Sage l do not
class as a speculator. He buys stocks
for the stocks themselves, or to secure
an interest in the corporation for bust
ness purposes. 1 do not think he ever
speculates. His business is q lender of
money and IN investor, and it IS that
which has made him a power in Wall
street.
There are big men in that street who
are spectators. pure and simple. but the

ton.
l was a Spectator when I was a stock
broker, and a heavy one.
1 lost a fortune and made it again,
with a little more besides, but I formed
/ the opinion which 1 have expressed that
the man who speculates is an IDIOT.
| Then, too, I stopped.
! have not speculated since 1873. l lost
my money in the panic which was
caused by the Chicago fire in 1871. and
I made it again in the panic which fol-
F! lowed the Cooke failure in 1873. l formed
a partnership with John P. Bell in Phil
ade.phia after that, and the express
terms Of orr agreement were that the
firm should not speculate for itself. We
made a goo ddeal of money out of the
spectators, instead of specializing our
selves. A good portion of it. however,
we made in business, trading for bust
ness men.

hung around the auction room until the
soap was put up. There was consider.
able idding and 1 finally bought the
lot OF 1t for 8 cents a pound. After they
had asked my name and I had sung out
with my boyish voice. 1 was very much
frightened. l ran around the corner and.
all out of breath, recalled the prom. Sc to
buy at 8 cents to the grocer. He stuck
to the bargain, and l delivered the SOAP
over to him without holding 1t myself
and pocketed the profits just the same
as the Speculation in stocks.
But that was many years ago. I have
made the bulk of my fortune out Of
street railways. as l suppose everybody
knows. 1t is a business l have been in
nearly all Of my business life. and !
think that is one of the few things I
understand. I had my first interest in
1860 and have had holdings in them all
most ever since.
When 1 start out on a plan Of action
I usually continue it.
I like my work.
When l consider a proposition now, it Is
not to figure cut how much O there
Is to be rGade in it. but whether or not
there is a possibility of a loss, and
whether it is a good thing to do
I do not care much about making
money. but I admit l 10 not like to loss
any. I don't lose very often.
I figure things out carefully before l
go in and then keep at 1t until it pays.
I see my name mentioned frequently IN
connection with this or that big deal in
Wall street. l have absolutely no rela-
lions with Wall street. and have had
none for years. My business is the street
railway business.
l have made money at it because I UNI
derstand it, like it. and persevere In 1t.
1 shall stay in SO long as 7 continue to
enjoy it or my health allows it. and then
l shall retire.

ODD SIGNS THAT MEAN MILLIONS.

this center, but the frenZied shouts OF
the brokers always serve to identity 1T.
1t will be seen how a broker by joining
one of these bowling struggling mobs
with the aid of his signs may make
known the number of shares he may
wish to buy or sell.
The price of the stock is also made
known by signs. One finger pointed
vertically and upward signifies that a
bid is offered at o~ne-eighth of a point,
two fingers, two-eights, or o~ne-quarter,
and so on. The price of the stocks go
up or down, moving by Fights of a point.
All these signs are used SO quickly
n the antics of the brokers to at
tract attention are so violent hat an
unframed eye a scarcely recognize
them. A man may be seen for exam
pie. to rush excitedly to a group of
wildly shouting men and, after he has
attracted attention to himself by shrieks
move his clinched fist rapidly up and
down, as though delivering a series of
upper-cut blows to an imaginary foe.
Instantly a dozen men start for him,
gesticulating wildly. In response he
tries to rush toward them. meanwhile
appearing to becker them on with his
partially closed hand.
AS soon as he has attracted the at
tention of the crowd he waves his hand
rapidly back and forth, with n or
more fingers extended. He repeats
these menacing signs over end over
again, and just as a free fight seems
inevitable, he exchanges a quick jerk
of the head with some one before him,
the crowd falls back and he walks Off
unmOlested.
When the excited broker rushed into
the struggling mob he was merely join
ing the group trading in some commo-
dity like Sugar. The upper-cut blows
of his first merely signified that he wish
ed to trade in 100 shares of the stock
When he appeared to be reckoning on
his adversaries he merely expressed q
desire to purchase this stock, and his
excited jabbing of the air with extended
fingers indicated .that if the prevailing
quotation was. say ITS, he would pay
". The gentlemen who rushed at him
merely desired to attract his attention
and the jerk of the head signified tina
h offer was accepted and the sale
which perhaps involved hundreds Of
thousands of dollars, was complete.

the Scriptures, is the object of a journey.

gist, the Rev. George Frederick Wright,
is making over the Roof Of the World

The country is full of peril and hard
ship, but DR.. Wright, who has faced the
dangers of Arctic exploration and who
has led hazardous expeditions over the
glaciers of Alaska, is no stranger to
such things. Though Ga years old, he is
strong and vigorous. On the present ex-
petition. he is accompanied by his son,
Frederick e. Wright, recently graduated
from Yale college.
Both father and son were prisoners in
the British legation during the siege O.,
Picking. After the rescue Of the lega-
TONERS they wen to Vbadivostock and
thence over the T~rans-Siberian road to
Lake Baikal, in the great Siberian pla-
teau.
The Ararat range, in southwestern
Asia. where Biblical story says the Arc
Of Noah found a resting place, will be
explored by DR.. Wright. In these high
lands, which are covered with "loess,'
or unstratified diluvian mud left by re-
ceding water. DR.. Wright hopes to find
the remains of men and animals left
there before the flood.
If DIR. Wright discovers antediluvian
| remains in Asia, the last link in a chail,
of facts which tend to prove that tht
globe was at one time flooded will be
supplied. Biologists admit that Amer
lea and Europe were once under water.
1t has been known for years that the
greater part Of Africa vHs once covered
by the sea, but it remains to be shown
that Asia. too, was once submerged.
