was found that Mr. Belmont was stand.
Ing firmly planted on a sort OF finan-

ponents triumph was made UP largely
of the satisfaction which comes with
the impression that one has succeeded
In getting the better OF shrewd flnan-
cier Belmont was out, but not out OF
pocket. And that Is the way he has
generally managed TO extricate himself
from tight places which would have the
effect OF cornering most men. In other
words, Mr.. Belmont is not one of those
reckless traders who believe in burning
the bridges behind them. Grand
stand" playing is not his forte, but the
score at the end OF the game Is gener-
ally In his favor
August Belmont, like few other men
OF millions who are demonstrating to
the world that they are able to do
something more than spend fortunes
left them by their fathers, did not have
the spur of necessity to urge him on to-
ward the goal Of accomplishment. Had
August Belmont, Jr., retired from bus-
ness when his father died he would
even now have been rated as one of the
very wealthy Of the comparatively
young men OF America. But he was
not content TO leave well enough alone

heralded abroad for years in advance
OF its coming. The man appears ia
have a grasp OF affairs which inspires
confidence. Naturally therefore he Is
never worried by the problem OF rails
Ing the millions required for the ex-
ploItation OF many OF his enterprises.
Indeed, his principal difficulty lies In the
fact that he is so frequently obliged to
decline offers OF pecunIary assistance
from men whose good will he wishes
to retain. II Is true that all this might
be said OF ]. Pierpont Morgan, but that
gentleman has so long been acknowl-
edged as the unquestloned monarch OF
the world finance that things which are
regarded as wonderful achievements IN
Others are looked upon as the merest
commonplaces for that colossus Of
bonds.
II may be cited In support Of the view
that August Belmont is OF no greater
consequence than any one Of dozen
monetary giants that he has not al
ways succeeded In his undertakings. 1t
Is true that he has not always been
able to bend great powers to his exact
plans. but 1t viii be difficult to pick out
any deal engineered by Mr.. Belmont in
which that gentleman came out at the
little end OF the horn, The Louisville
and Nashville railroad affair was a
case In point. II was generally as
sumed that Mr.. Belmont had been rath-
er hard hit In that venture and that
fact was ostentatously heralded
throughout the country, for from some
cause or other Mr. Belmont Is unpopu-

FATAL CRUSH AT GAME
Eight Persons Killed and Scores In.
jured at Glasgow.
FIELD STANDS GIVE WAY
Jam mt International Football Match
Causes Police to Use strong
Measures-Sevcnty Thou
sand People Present.

Glasgow, April 1.-THE struggle Of
the great crowds which gathered at
Ibrox park to witness the last interna.
| tional association football contest be-
| tween teams from England and Scot
land caused the collapse of a portion of
one of the spectators stands, resulting
in the death Of eight persons and the
injury of 200 others.
When the game began, 10000 specta-
tors We're on the grounds, and an i'm
men crowd had gathered outside.
Being unable to obtain admittance, this
crowd broke down some of the barriers
and swarmed upon the field, where
upon the police charged and drove the
intruders back upon the side stands,
which were crowded with people. Men
and women We're thrown over each
other. In the frantic struggle toward
the exits the pressure toward the up
per portion of the westerly terrace
was so great that 100 feet of the high
est part Of the structure collapsed un-
der the weight Of the crowd driven
upon it, pr%ecipitating the mass Of peo-
pie to the ground, sixty feet below.
The injured were piled in heaps, wedg-
ed in with broken wood.
Care Of the Victims.
The onlookers hesitated to approach
the dangling structure at first, but
finally began to utilize portions Of the
broken barriers as stretchers. One
hundred of the most seriously injured
We're carried to the grand stand and
to spaces in the rear Of the stands. A
majority of the victims are suffering
from broken ribs and fractured limbs,
while some sustained internal injuries.
Those most severely hurt were later
removed in ambulances to intirmaries,
and the lesser sufferers Were sent in
cabs to surgerjes. Fifteen OF the in
jured are not likely to recover.
An investigation into the aus of
the disaster shows that the breakdown
of the terrace had begun before the
structure was subjected to its %severest
strain, and it is now believed that the
final collapse was caused more directly
W lAC CAOllS Va knOSN llCuACSt lhC
break than by the additional weight of
those who rushed upon the stand, from
below. The terrace. although support
ed by iron girders, swayed and cracked
ominously under the movements of its
frantic occupants.
Injured Lying Six Deep.
The fallen portion IA 100 feet long,
thirty feet wide and contained twelve
tiers of seats. The injured in many
cases were lying six deep, and it is
considered marvellous that there were
not more fatalities. One mar hung
by his boot, which caught in a splinter
ed beam, head downward, fifty feet
above the ground. Finally his boot was
cut, and the man dropped into a sheet
held below.
The strangest feature of the affair is
the fact that the crowd in the other
parts Of the grounds failed entirely to
realize the extent of the disaster, and
the game was played to a finish, re-
sulting in a draw. Even the manage
ment appeared to be unaware of the Sc
robustness of the accident until it was
announced after the conclusion of the
game.

THE STORY OF THE
PRESIDENT MOTHER.

When Martha liullOch, the fair
daughter of a wealthy Georgia
planter, married Theodore Roose-
welt half century ago she little
dreamed that her name would be
handed down as the mother Of a
President. The pretty romance of
her meeting with the New York
man, their courtship and marriage,
aud the long honeymoon journey
in a stagecOach, forms a new and
interesting chapter in connection
with the life of the present Theo-
dore Roosevelt. In the June num-
Der Of the Ladies Home Journal
this romance and many unknown
facts concerning the Presidents
mother are told by a cousin of
Martha Bulloeh.
