The Coates face" rs as prevalent Just
now as the bicycle face, the automobile
face, or the ping-pong ankle. 1t indicates
a man breaking his neck to find out what
Gates is doing In the market.
Most of Gates great successes on Wall
street have been accidents. He was dead
wrong on Northern Pacific, losing a mil
lion and a half. In the Louisville q
Nashville deal he was the creature of con-
ditions that he did not know existed. His
intention was to make a quick turn In the
market, to buy something intrinsically
good and sell 1t again at a profit. To his
own amazement he found himself in possess
sion Of the road. The discovery nearly
gave him stage fright. 1t would have
given a more excitable man heart disease.
Instead of perspiring, Gates drank two
quarts of wine and ate three pounds OF
beefsteak, with Embellishments"
He is magnetic. His voice is not that
of a nan who has fed on fats. Rich g~ravies
usually produce huskiness. Gates BARI
tone. soft and mellow. and Just a trihe me-
tallic. is as clear as a bell and we'll modu-
lated. He could below like a bull IL he
tookNa mind to, but there is no necessity,
for life to him is one grand, sweet song.
GAtes'Fchief interest in life Just now is to
push to the front his ~strapping son. He
himself having achieved and arrived, It Is
now his pleasure to see that Gates, jr.,
makes q noise in the world. The young
man is much taller than his father, but not
30 big around. Wall street Is beginning to
keep an eye on him.
Gates goes abroad each year. He has
engaged apartments In London for the
coronation parade which cost him a small
fortune. His tours OF the continent usually
make an impression. He cuts a swath.
He always travels FIRST cabin" as the say
ing is. His rooms at the Waldorf Astoria
cost him $500 a week. His favorite game
Is not ping pong or bridge and he wastes
no time at church. He dresses as we'll as
a professional gambler and is not blind to
his own Importance.
1t has been published broadcast that J.
Pierpont Morgan had Gates piled" at the
New York Yacht club, and that August
Belmont had a hand in the pilling. Gates
denies that there is any friction between
him and those two gentlemen. As he has
made millions out Of Morgan and relieved
Belmont of the Louisville & Nashville rail-
road. he can AFFORD to let bygones be by
cones. -
Gates is one of the few steel men who
have not built palaces In upper Fifth
avenue. He lives in, Chicago. He Is in
Wall street for fun. James r. Keene Is
there for business. That is the difference
between the two kings Of the ticker. Mr..
Keene believes in basic conditions; Gates
believes in taking a flyer. But Gates will
not settle down. He is a giant Of capacity.
copper-bottomed and steel-lined.
Gates is a typical product OF the wild
west. AS an infusion Ne makes tho Wall
street blood boil. VICTOR SMITH.

WARNED BY IRELAND.
Archbishop ireland Criticises Cnth-
olics Who Agitate the Frinr
Question.

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. ARCH
bishop Ireland Sunday in his sermon
at high mass in the cathedral de-
nounced the efforts of an element in
the Catholic church to impugn the
good faith of President Roosevelt
and Gov. Taft in dealing with the
church question in the Philippines.
The archbishop's sermon was a
pointed warming to the congress of
the American Federation of Catholic
societies, which meets in Chicago to-
day, to keep hands off the friars
question. Without openly referring
to the Chicago convention, he de-
nounced what he called "the fiery
zeal in defense of Catholic interests
which seems to be coveting an ex-
plosion at the present time among
certain classes of American Cath
.olics.''
He declared the question was not
for discussion at this time, when Leo
XIII. and President Roosevelt were
making every effort to bring about a
satisfactory solution of problems con-
cerning church and state. He spoke
with frankness, however, in denounc-
ing those. who appeared to him to
have misplaced their zeal in defense
of the Catholic faith.
The archbishop declared there had
been no complaints made except by
unauthorized individuals, and soldiers
of the church, he insisted, should
await action of their commanders be-
fore they undertook to act for the
entire congregation.
Catholic bodies would never pros
per in America. he said, unless imbued
with the spirit of the country and q
deep love for its welfare. To complain
needlessly was to be guilty of an act
of injustice toward men and institu
tions, the iniquity being more griev
Gus as the men or institutions rose in
dignity.
He assured his hearers that he spoke
advisedly wher he told the public agi
tation was unnecessary. Redress al
ways was to be had If sought through
quiet and representative methods from
high representatives of the govern
nent.
All Catholics he urged, should seel
to nurture peace and harmony ant
be cautious against stirring into fire
and flame the latent prejudices ant
smothered animosities that existed
THE simplest approach to form a po
litical party on the basis of religious
interests" he said, "would be fatal tC
those interests and to the public
peace"

There is a nice little fortune in that
bit of property alone.
"Yes, was here during the Mexican
war, but that struggle made little diff
ference with us. The soldiers went over
turnpike roads towards Wheeling and
Pittsburg, thence down the Ohio river,
so that we who dwelt here knew prac-
tically nothing concerning that war.
But when the civil war began, and
while it lasted, we knew that there was
a war going on. There were soldiers
on the streets all of the time, day and
night. The city was not only sur
rounded by them, but it was filled
and crowded with them. Quite num-
ber of them were lawless, too, and gave

REQUEST REFUSED
Manhattan Elevated Railway
Engineers Turned Down.
They Asked For n Nine-Hour Day ana
Relay system That Would Give.
Them Little Rest MT the
End of Each Trip.

New York, Aug. 6.-Vice President
Slsitt, of the Manhattan Elevated
railway yesterday gave to commit
tee representing the 500 engineers
and motormen of the road, refusal
of their request made two weeks ago
for nine-hour day and other con-
cessions.
When the company's reply became
known among the men there was inn
mediate talk of strike. The COM
mittee, after leaving Mr.. Skitt's Of
fee, went at once to telegraph Of
flee and sent the following message
to p. NJ. Arthur, Grand Master of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers:
''To p. M. Arthur, Cleveland, o.:
Come at once. Everything refused"
Chief jerks of Division No. 105, of
the brotherhood, says of the griev-
ances: "Since the introduction Of
motor cars into the service we have
been compelled to make six round
trips daily between One Hundred and
Twenty-ninth street and South Ferry,
consuming ten hours and travelling on
an average 10s miles a day. On the
engines we never made more than five
trips, and four and half was the
usual number. The company claims
that the motor cars being faster we
should be able to make the addi-
tional trip. They also say that the
strain on us in running the electric
cars is less. The first statement may
be true, but the second is not. We
are under just as great strain as
we were on the engines. We are will
ing to make five trips a day in nine
hours and no more. We also want a
relay system that will give each man
a chance to get bite to eat and n
few minutes to himself at the end OF
each run"

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 6.-lsaac Fin
kelstein, whose crusade closed the
eight gambling houses in Des Moires
two weeks ago, was murdered last
night near an alley on East Walnut
street. He was on his way home, less
than block and half away when a
man stepped out of the shadow of the
alley and struck him blow over the
head with heavy stick. Finkelstein
fell to the ground. Four men less
than block away saw him fall and
ran to assist him. lie was dead when
they arrived, his skull being crushed.
The murder is supposed to hae, re-
suited from Finkelstein's action in
prosecuting the gamblers. He did not
object to public gambling, but wanted
the city to receive a revenue from it,
he said, and when the police did not
raid the houses he filed complaints
with the sheriff. The resultant raids
proved so expensive the gamblers
closed their places.

Mexico City, Aug. 4.-There is
much popular Indignation here over
the formation of a pool among the
bakers of this city to raise the price
of bread. This trade is in the hands
of half dozen rich Spaniards from
old Spain who have signed an agree
ment to charge prices mutually
agreed on and not in any way to en-
ter into competition, as they have
done hitherto. The agreement is for
two years. The daily papers point
out that this agreement is wholly
unjustified, as the price of wheat
has not altered in two years, while
the taxes are the same. The cost of
living for poor people and the lower
middle class has been increasing
steadily and meat has been rising
two yearS past.

Washington, Aug. 6.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crops is
as follows: A drought prevailing in
the previous week from Virginia and
the Carolinas westward to Arkansas
has been largely broken, the rains be-
ing excessively heavy over the west
ern portion of the region named.
Drought, however, continues in por-
tions of the lower Ohio valley, the
Carolinas, and northern Georgia. The
central and southern portions of
Texas have again received very heavy
rains, and the lake region and the
northern portion of the Middle At
lantic states have also suffered to
some extent from excessive moisture.
The protracted drought in the CEN
trail and southern Rocky Mountain
district continues with increased Sc
verify, and portions of Kansas, Ne
braska, and the north Pacific coast
region are in need of rain. Generally
the temperature conditions have
been highly favorable.
AS whole, corn has made excellent
progress in the principal corn-pro-
ducing states, and an unusually fine
crop is promised.
Some winter wheat remains to be
harvested in extreme northern dis
tricts, where harvesting has been
much delayed by rain, and consider
able damage has been done to wheat
in stack and shock. Harvesting is in
general progress on the north Pa
cific coast under favorable conditions.
Spring wheat harvest has been
somewhat delayed by showers in
| Minnesota, where harvesting is in
progress as far north as the middle
portion of the state. In North Da-
kota high winds and hail have lodged
and damaged spring wheat slightly
and rust is appearing on the late
sown. The crop is ripening very rap
idly in the Dakotas, somewhat too
rapidly in South Dakota, and harvest
has begun in extreme southern North
Dakota. In Oregon and Washington

vancement.
Oat harvest in the northern dis
tricts has progressed under more
favorable conditions than in the
