Great Britain Thinks His Ideas Are
Wrong-Think Crash Is Iminent.

Wrong-Think Crash Is Iminent.
London, Oct. 6.-Not since the days
of the Northern Pacific furry has the
English money world been so agitated
by American conditions. For the last
~ hours Lombard, Threadneedle and
Old Broad streets have been throbbed
with feverish expectation of portentOus
news from New York and Washington.
The recent slump in Wall Street,
followed by Secretary Shaw's efforts to
relieve the stringency of the market,
has give rise to the belief that the Unit
ed States is ON the brink of financial
catastrophe after its long season of pros
perity. The developments in the ship
ing trade indicating that the British
government, in connection with the
Cunard company has checkmated Nor
gan's transatlantic monopoly game ex-
actly at the hour when events have led
the best British authority to believe
that the great New York organizer is
approaching the end of his career of
international conquest.
Morgan S name has lost much of its
former prestige during the past month.
1t is now considered practically certain
that he has undertaken more than he
can accomplish. His acceptances no
longer command the universal popu-
larity they formerly enjoyed. Realiz-
ing this, he has withdrawn many of
them from the market.
There is universal criticism of Nor
gan's tendency to over capitalize,
which he began with the steel trustand
continued in his plan for financing the
shipping combine. Confidence in his
policy has been still further shaken by
his undertaking the 800, 900, 900 Lon
don underground railway scheme
which involves not only bitter fight
with millions and experience at the
back of Charles T. Yerkes, but is alto
gether regarded as an impracticablC
venture.

TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet's report on trade last week
says:
The only depressing note is the
growing acuteness of the coal stu
alton, which has passed out of local
and state cognizance and become of
national Importance and interest.
Reports to Bradstreet's while point
ing to some letting up in the jobbing
demand at nearly all centers, all
testify to the fall and winter trade al
ready booked having been exceptionally
good, in most cases in excess of proceed
ing years. Personal buying at large
western jobbing centers is not so active
as some time ago.
Wheat, including flour, exports for
the week ending October 2 aggregate
6,870,5 78 bushels against 5,077, 07O
bushels the week before. Business
failures in the United States for the
week numbered 1874 as against 172

came yesterday at Phoenix, Ariz., where
Mr.. Brown had been for several months
in a vain effort to regain his health.
Mr.. Brown was 81 years of age. His
full name was Robert e. Lee Brown, and
he was a native Of Philadelphia. After \
brief life of excitement and adventure,
Mr.. Brown found that consumption had
seized him, and the past year or so he
has spent fighting against the inevitable.

MeteOric Career of Frank G. An
drews, the "Young Napoleon
of Einance.o

Regarding Frank c. Andrews,
who is in II heap of trouble in De-
troit, Detroit paper says:
about thirteen years ago Frank
G. Andrews, a farmers boy of
eighteen years, was married in Oak
land county to a Miss Baker, the
daughter of a neighboring farmer.
Then he resided with his father, p.
p. Andrews on farm near Romeo
A few months later young Andrews
came to Detroit to seek his fortune
He had with him only a
s. bill and owed 1915 of that.
He secured position in
the real estate Office of Sully &
Simpson. He soon tired of his job,
however, and went TO work for HON.
er Warren, who was then just start
ing in the real estate business. Mr..
Warren went east to the seashore
and left Andrews in charge of his
Office. When he returned a few
weeks later he found that his young
assistant bad been doing consider
able business buying and selling
other peoples real estate on com
mission, and had done some merit
orious work.
During the first year Andrews
was in Mr.. Warren S Office he cleaned
up about $4,000. He was then scarce
ly twenty years old. He kept on
dabbling in real estate on his own
account for about six years and sue
ceeded in making s25, 900 or $50, 900.
Then, about six years ago, he began
specializing in stock, etc. He was
usually successful.
He interested other young men
connected with Homer Warren g
firm in that sort Of speculation and
more time was devoted to it than to
the real estate business of the firm.
Andrews continued to speculate in
stocks, losing now and then, but
usually gaining. A year or so ago
he began dabbling in copper stocks,
during the great rise in the copper
market, and invested from time to
time, rather heavily in Amalga-
mated. He speculated in sugar,
steel, railway and other stocks,
making quick turns to the good.
About that time, too, he began buy
ing valuable pieces of real estate,
mostly located along Woodward
avenue. During the last two years
he put nearly $500, 900 actual cash
into real estate, investing heavily in
gold mines and In street railways,

CLOCKS OF THE PAST.
They Were Very Different From

The word clock, derived from the |

bell which struck at certain periods
OF time indicated by the hour glass.
Sundials, or ''gnomons" were the
first instruments used in measuring
time, and there is but little doubt
that the long granite pillars which
we call obelisks were used by the
Egyptians, If not as actual sundial

OF the sun.

BEING REDEEMED.
U. II. Counties reaping the Bene-
fit Of Denuded Pine Lands.

AS q result of the increase in the
value of timber lands of all kinds,
tracts all over the peninsula which
were allowed to revert on the score
OF delinquent taxes are now being
redeemed and counties and state are
reaping the benefit. On most of
such land the pine was cut some
years ago and the acreages have
been held to be practically WORTH
less. In Luce county one lumber
concern has just paid about s., 600
taxes on lands which have been de-
linquent for years.
