Yet Col. william Ray, Bank Presi-
dent, Wrs One of the Shrewdesx OF
F~inanciers.
There died in Louisville, KY. a few
days ago, a banker and financier who
was a wonder to the New York money
makers, by whom he was well known
and liked. The man was Col. William
Ray, president of the Citizens Nation
al Bank of Lou lille, who could Meth
er read nor write, and who did not even
know figures. In spite of all this, Col
Ray accumulated a great ~frotune, and
was considered one of the shrewdest
financiers in the South and Middle
West. His head was an account book.
He knew just what depositors in bank
had aud each depositor's balance. He
knew the net and gross earnings of
every railroad in the country, and the
dividends it declared or the losses it
had suffered. He had prices at his
tongues end, and his knowledge was
SO thorough and his memory SO per-
feet that he never was known to make
a mistake.
Col. Ray could not sign his own
checks, preferring always to make a
peculiar mark under his signature. He

He was intimate with such financial
giants as j. P. Morgan, and to them
he was a study. He was III
school as much as one day, his know
ledge of English having been obtained
from ~towboatmen n roustabouts
along the Ohio river, with whom he
spent his boyhood and early manhood.
It can be imagined that his grammar
was crude.
1t was told that at a meeting of rail-
road magnates in Philadel itia, some
years Ago., Mr.. Cassatt, now president
of the Pennsylvania Railroad company,
asked some question of Col. Ray about
: some bonds he was supposed to own.

Live Stock in India starving.

A curious, if painful, feature of the
famine in India has been the extent
to which the Brahmini bulls have died.
1t is only natural that the people
should concentrate their efforts, as far
as possible, on their own pillow bull
locks, and it is wonderful how often
they have succeeded, even in localities
where fodder has failed entirely, in
keeping these indispensable animals
alive. Around almost every well in
central India, maize has been indus
triously grown and irrigated, the
young plants as they came up being
fed to the plow bullocks, which have
managed to survive on extraordinarily
small rations eked out in many cases
by doles of fodder, imported from the
northwestern and central provinces
by government agency. For the own
erless Brahmini cattle this has been
impossible, and the mortality among
these unfortunate creatures has been
enormous. Over wide areas, indeed,
the Brahmini bull has been practically
wiped out. The piety of the people
will, no doubt, ere long provide a fresh
stock of these animals. For the time
being, however, the cu~ltivator is re-
lieved of the by no mean light toll
which the Brahmini cattle take from
his fields.

FOUR DOCTORS FAILED.
a Michigan Lady's Battle with Disease
aud How 1t Was Won.

Flushing, Mich, Dec. 22.-(Special.)
One of the most active workers in
the cause of Temperance and Social
Reform in Michigan is Mrs. P. A..
Passmore of this place. She is a
prominent and very enthusiastic w.
C. T. u. woman, and one who never
loses an opportunity to strike a bow
against the demon of Intemperance.
Mrs. Passmore has suffered much
bodily pain during the last three
years through Kidney and Bladder
Trouble. At times the pain was al
most unbearable. and the good lady
was very much distressed. She tried
physician after physician, and each
in urn failed to relieve her, let alone
effect a cure. Home remedies sug-
gested by anxious friends were APP
piled, but all to no purpose. At last
some one spoke Of Dodd's Kidney
Pills as a great remedy for all Kidney
and Bladder Diseases, and Mrs. Pass
more decided to try them. She did,
and is now a we'll She has
given the following statement for pub
lication:
At different times in the past three
years, l have suffered severely with
Kidney and Bladder Trouble, and af-
ter trying four of the best physicians

the state of New York, I found my
self no better. / took any amount of
home remedies suggested by kind
friends. with little or no relief from
anything. l decided to try Dodd's
Kidney Pills. Less than one box has
done me more good than all the other
treatments combined. 1 am still using
them, and can say from experience
that they are an excellent remedy for
Kidney and Bladder Trouble. l would
heartily recommend them to all those
suffering from these ills in like man

family against other ailments. This
is exactly what every other family in
the United States should do. Keep
Pe-ru-na in the house. Use it for

climatic affections of winter, and there
will be no other ailments in the house.

The GaIloways.

The Galloway is one OF the most
profitable of the beef breeds. Among
the points of value are early maturity
and high quality Of meat produced.
The usefulness of the Galloway in the
feed lot is beyond question, and the
ability to withstand hard conditions
is great. For this reason the reports
of success with Galloways come to US
from the coolest regions of Canada
and from the warmest sections of the
southwest. AS the buffalo has disap-
peared the Galloway has naturally in
herited the business of producing
choice robes, and we predict that these
robes will be more and more in de-
mand as the years go by. 1t is ex-
tremely difficult to pick a beef breed
that will be round superior in all
places, and we do not attempt to claim
any such superiority for the Galloway.
But the writer does claim that in a
very large number of cases the Gal
loway will be found superior to most
of it's rivals. A short shank and a
long loin, as possessed by this animal,
means money made out of the grass
that goes to build up the frame. 1t
should be remembered that it takes
no more feed to produce a pound of
fine high-priced loin than it does to
produce a pound of almost worthless
bone, and hence our breeders natural
ly desire the cattle that will make the
most loin and the least shank,

Birds are fast livers. Their activl-
ties are immense: their hearts beat
twice as fast as those of man: the
temperature of their blood would be
to us fever heat. To support such
vitality a relatively enormous amount
of food is required; and this too of
the most nutritious kinds, such as
grain, seed or animals. Even a great
er amount than Is consumed by the
adult is needed by the young, for while
in the nest the rate of growth is very
great. AS an example of this we may
take some recently published observa-
lions on the growth of a nest OF young
song-sparrows, each day the BROOD
was carefully weighed and the increase
noted. During the first day the aver
age gain in weight of the nestllngs
was forty-eight per cent, and In SIX
days their weight was very nearly
trebled. Such growth needed indeed
the constant attention of the parent
birds, who, on an average, visited the
nest at intervals Of from two to hve
minutes from daybreak till dark. Take
our ifty-four million pairs of breed
ing birds within the state of Illinois,
say that one-third Of these have young
at any one time, let the parents visit
the nest with food every five minutes;
the basis we take is conservative
enough, yet 1t means ~thirty-four hum
dred million meals furnished to the
infant birds of the state each day dur
ing the breeding season.
Professor Treadwell has recorded
the case of a young robin that he kept
in confinement and fed on earth
worms. The weight of the bird was
taken each day and also that of the
food consumed. He found that it lost
in weight though he increased the
daily allowance from ten to fifteen,
tw~enty-four, twenty-five and thirty
worms; it was not until the fourteenth
day when he gave it sixty-eight worms
weighing ~thirty-four pennyweights
that the bird throve and increased In
bulk. On that day the bird itself
weighed tw~enty-four pennyweights, SO
that it consumed forty-one per cent
more than it's own weight in twelve
hours.
The amount of food that has to be
supplied by the old birds might well
inspire human parents with horror
and CONSERVATION. Yet so rapid is the
growth of the nesting, so intense the
vital fire within it's little body. that il
Is evident even this quantity would
not suffice unless it were of the most
nutritious kinds. OF the more es-
sential food constituents, such as pro-
teids and carbohydrates, fruits con-
tain a very small proportion and these
substances must be- sought elsewhere;
and hence the young birds food must
of necessity, and as proved by OBJ
%servation, does consist principally Of
soft bodied insects.-Prof. William

Reed Sloan Cremated.

We publish the following ex-
tract of a notice of the death of
Reed Sloan, published in the Sa-
linas Call Gazette of January
18th:
Gas a man he stood high in the
community and was esteemed by
all who knew him. He was of an
even temperament, and made
friends wherever he went, and his
demise is mourned by not only a
host Of friends in Salinas but
throughout the state; and along
the telegraph wires north and
south sped the news yesterday,
saddening the hearts of the oper-
ators who were his personal
friends. Probably no man in the
employment of the Western Union
Telegraph Company was more
esteemed by the officials and
worthily did he merit the marks
of favor shown by them, for it
was in the performance of his
duty in the capacity of a lineman
that he impaired his health, which
from that time gradually failed
until the end came"
The remains were taken to San
Francisco, cremated, and the
ashes inurned in Cypress Lawn
cemetery.

Frank Hess.

Benjamin Franklin Hess, one
of Thompson townships best
known and most reputable citizens
died at his home at Hesses Mill
on Wednesday of last week
January %, 190l-at the age of
81 years, 8 months, IA days.
Mr.. Hess was a son of Stillwel
and Asenath Hess, and was born
on the mansion farm now owned
by his brother John Hess. He
was a member of family of
eightchildren- Sarah and Abner,
dead, John and William II. in
Thompson township, Rhoda, in
Illinois, and Mary and Rachael in
Kansas.
The deceased was married twice
first, to Miss Eleanor j. daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Enoch Hart,
of Needmore, December 10, 1877.
-Four children were born to them
Clyde, Olive, Gilbert, and Gather
ine-the latter two of whom are
not living. The mother, died
September 4, 1886.
The years 1887 and 1888 were
spent in the mercantile business
at Needmore. He afterward
married Miss Kate McEldowney,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM.
McEldowney To them have
been born six children, five of
whom are living, namely, Nellie,
Goldie, Mamie, Orpah, and Ber-
tha-a son Allen being dead.
Mr.. Hess was a miller by trade
and for several years owned and
operated the "Hess Mill" A
few years ago an eruption appear
ed on his scalp; and, notwith-
standing he sought the aid OF
local physicians, and went to the
best hospitals in the city, it prov
ed beyond control, and brought
about his death.
While not a member of a church
his life would have done credit to
many persons whose names are
on the church roll, and for many
years he manifested a deep inter
est in spiritual things-a sense OF
his own unworthiness keeping
him from taking the important
step.
Funeral took place last Friday,
Elder Funk conducting the SER
vices. Interment at Tonoloway.
