WESTVILLE, n. j., Aug. 19, 1901.
Mr.. EDITOR: The screed Of Fair Play
in your last issue is scarcely worth noticing
and is of too trihing a character even to
elicit reply. Your correspondent ac-
knowledges in his imagination that ball
was thrown away; that he doesn't know a
corn field from weed patch. His refer
ence to the imam i'll the moon" is no doubt
intended as a witticism, and as such we
accept it, but he should have mentioned
that he intended it as ''goke, as Arte-
mus Ward would say. He reminds us a
great deal of the great showman's mule,
inasmuch as he was an amoosin' little
cuss," and full of "gokes." His reference
to the pond of water at Alcyon Park and
the bath rooms, towels, ETC., the use OF
which can be had-by paying for them.
This is like inviting a man to visit you and
charging him for his entertainment.
His assertion that the Glassboro ball
players 'are strictly temperate" was never
denied, but how about the toughs and
blackguards who flourished $500 and wanted
to bet on the result of the game? His
allusion to the Roxborough game is simply
baby talk, but the grand climax Of his effu-
sion at its finish, wherein he says, ''Play
ball, or stop chewing the rag" After
that classical expression it is no wonder
that he declares his intention of not using
the respectable columns of the DEMOCRAT
again. He should stick to that good reso-
lution-refrain from the use Of slang, and
take dose of Mrs. Winslow's soothing
syrup, recite the Lords Prayer and go tc
bed, and when he awakes in the morning
he may realize how foolish he has made
himself Respectfully,
WESTVILLE.

An Anecdote That Shows the Observing

Much of President Roosevelt's per.

sleeping car coming east from Wyom

ranch on the edge of the bad lands
At that time he was unknown to the
public except as the author of a few
magazine articles on western life, blu
luckily I had read them and the!
formed a bridge for conversation. !:
found him a burly young man witt
heavy brown beard, which he had al
lowed to grow during his trip, ant
with manners that were nervous ant
abrupt, but nevertheless very engag
ing. He was just recovering from al
attack of snow blindness and wor

thing Re said. Somebody remarked
for instance, that he had recently vie

Hills and had to pay so cents for {
drink of execrable whisky.

means recent occupation, unsettled
conditions and the presence of one hal

GIANT OF INDUSTRY.
SENATOR CLARK, THE WORLDS
RICHEST BUSINESS MAN.
His Chain of Properties, from Maine to
California, Includes q Quarry, Mines,
Ranches, Street Railways and other
hings.
Especial L-tter.)

By the pu- chase Of a granite quarry
in Maine, Senator w. A. Clark OF
Montana, king of all copper kings,
manufacturer. banker, publisher, sugar
refiner, rubber grower, lumber opera
tor. railroad builder, coal miner and
many, many timcs a millionaire, says
the Pittsburg Dispatch, has completed
a chain of industries from Maine to
California, and from the Gulf of Mex
leo to the Canadian border.
Up in North Jay, Maine, he has
bought and equipped a quarry with
300, 900 tons of beautiful white granite
in sight, he says. Away off across the
continent in southern California, $500
miles away, he owns mons .er range
Of countless acres devoted to beet
sugar raising. On the Gulf of Mex
leo he owns another big range of $780,
900 acres devoted to the growth of
rubber trees and coffee. Thousands of
miles north, in the state of Montana,
he owns mines, banks, street railways,
real estate, lumber mills and lots of
other things, besides beng a United
States senator. Between these four
points Senator Clark is the active head
of various industries of b S own Gre
ating.
Has Never Failed.
No record of industrial failure has
ever been entered against this man.
Everything he has taken hold of has
resulted in great and undivided divi-
dends. For Senator Clark is not a
head or part of a combine or corpora
! ton. He himself is the head, the
| heart, the soul, the creator, the direc-
tor and general superintendent. He
is a master of dstai's, a systematizer
and therein, he says, lies the secret OF
his successful business career.
Men who know both say w. A. Clark
| is head and shoulders above j. Pier
pont Morgan as a business man. Clark
creates industries; Morgan formulates
| combines to absorb created industries
| Clark alone runs his mighty bust
ness; Morgan doesn't. No mind hui
| the senator's from Montana is recog-
nized in his affairs. No board of di-
rectors pass upon his ideas. He is the
whole thing. 1t isn't so with Morgan
Everything he is connected with has
| it's board of directors, each of whom
conceives ideas and nur=es thsm as
tenderly as Morgan.

Where Air Is Pure.


During the recent scientific expedf-
ton to SpitZbergen, under the direc-
ton of Professor Nathorst, the bacteri-
ologist of the expedition, made careful
examinations of the polar atmosphere
to determine the amount of impurities
it contained.
In more than ninety different places
on Bear Island, Spitzbergen, and King
Charles Land, air was filtered and not
a single germ was found in it, although
over 10000 liters of air were subject to
the test.
Similar investigations were made in
regard to the purity of the water,
snow, and ice. Even salt water from
a depth of 5000 feet was subjected to
the archaeological test. A few bac-
terra were found, but they were ex-
tremely rare.
An examination of the intestines of
different polar animals proved that the
animals are almost free from bacteria.
Only the polar gulls made an excep-
ton. In the intestines of polar bears
and seals some bacteria were discov-
cred which resembled the bacteria usu-
ally found in human intestineS.

SENATOR WILLIAM A. CLARK
the quarry was to supply granite for
his New York mansion. Every piece of
gr ante is cut to fit certain place in
the growing palace in New York. The
quarrymen have the architects plans
to go by and each piece of granite is
numbered to correspond with the num-
Der in the specifications. The quarry
yields a beautiful white granite of
kind unlike any other in the world
One hundred skilled quarrymen with
compressed air drills carve out huge
slices of this pure granite, each slice
being destined to fit sp ecifi- d niche
in the New York mansion. Seventy
five skilled stone cutters receive the
granite at Portland and chip the slices
into dressed condition. Then the
dressed slices are wrapped in bagging
garnished with Stats and shipped by
train or boat to New York. Senator
Clark waited nearly two years for a
certain company to furnish the granite
and then brushed them aside, bought
a quarry adjoining the procrastinating
company's works and equipped it him

1t Is said that the quarry owners
formed a combine for the purpose of
raising the price of granite and marked
Senator Clark as the '.angei'' who
would pay the freight But the mil
lionaire from the northwest STOOD out
and nearly caused a panic among the
granite workers" by buying a quarry

They are good eyes-nothing sinister

With eyes like these a man can see
clearly his own plans and perceive

mitted on all sides that Senator Clark
