J. Pierpoint Morgan, of
New York City, does not own

lion dollars. All the mon
archs of Europe aremere pig
mics to him. Mr.. Morgan
and six other Americans, his
partners, who constitute the
Morgan Syndicate, are more
powerful than any Congress
or Parliament in the world.
Morgan's ambition is to cap
ture the carrying trade of the
world. He already owns and
controls two-thirds of the rail-
reads of the United States,
and more than that portion Of
the great ship companies on
the ocean. Fourteen steam
ship lines and A railroad sys-
tens are theirs. On land a
mileage of los, 800 and on sea
a tonnage of 100000. All
efforts at competition is as
mere chatf. No King on earth
is so powerful. More than
one million men receive en-
plOyment through his COM
panies and this means that
five million are fed and cloth
ed through him.

looked over the audiencne

he waited for divine af1atus

give down worth a cent and
he could not think of word
to say. He took off his glass

S. S. PRENTISS.
Incidents in the Life of the
Noted Lawyer.
(Harrodsburg Democrat.

for the incidents we herewith
give in the life of that emf
nent forensic orator, S. S.
Prentiss, of Vicksburg, Miss.
whose name and fame, in the
halcyon days of our beloved
country, were not confined to
its metes and bounds. His
name and deeds may be re-
membered by some of our
Oldest citizens, by reason of
his having made an eloquent
plea in our old court house in
March 1889, in defense of DR..
Edward G. Wilkinson, of
Mississippi, who was on trial
here on a change of venue
from Louisville on the charge
of killing John Rothwell, a
tailor, in the old Gait House.
DR.. Wilkinson had come from
his Mississippi home to mar
ry a charming young lady of
BardstOwn and the difficulty
and killing was the result of
a misfit wedding suit. Prem
tiss' speech cleared his eli
ent.
In order to give an insight
into the peculiar phase of the
incidents above referred to,
we must tell you that Vicl1s-
burg occupies a very billy To-
cation, so billy in fact, that
when Captain McMeekin, the
noted and far-famed hotel
keeper of Vicksburg, once
the proprietor of the ''Pren-
tisS House" under the bluff.
was being taken to task by
some uptown friends for not
coming up to see them, re-
piled: "YOu know tits said
that Rome had seven bills,
but 1 know that Vicksburg
has seven times seven hills,
and each one higher than any
of Rome's and my limbs are
getting too shaky to climb
them"
Upon the topmost peak of
one of these hills Prentiss
erected a magnificent resi-
dence, which has since borne
the sobriquet of ''Prentiss'
Folly" but ground space be-
ing circumscribed and limited
he utilized what he had in the
planting and care of a mint
bed. To this bed he gave
assidious attention, making
frequent calls on it in his
home life and whenever he
went to New Orleans to at
tend the United States Court
he never failed to fill his hat
with this aromatic herb, take
it to the steamboatand depoS-
it it with the barkeeper for
use on the trip.
In the early SOS, a conven-
ton of the Riparians proprie-
tors of Arkansas, Mississippi
and Louisiana was held in
Vicksburg to consult togeth
er to devise some plan for the
protection of those States
against the disastrous over
flow of the river, which had,
for a succession of years,
dealt destruction tocrops and
property.
This convention was held
in the large cotton warehouse
near the steamboat landing,
and on the third day of the
session Prentiss came stag
gering into the hall, with his
hat under his arm, filed, as
usual, with mint, making his
way to the steamer for New
Orleans. The moment he
was discovered the cry went
up: "PrentissI Prentiss!
Prentissl speech! speechl
speech" Some of the mem
bers seized him and rushed
him to the stand. He took
his hat from under his arm,
placed it beside him and took
a survey of the crowd before
him. There was of course, %
death like silence, all hoping
and expecting something from
him that would enlighten and
aid them in their labors.
