r1R. KEENE AND PARTNER.

James r. Keene. the New York broker,
has been very much in the public eye
since the recent failure of his son-in-law,
Talbot J. Taylor Mr.. Keene has had
remarkable career. He began life upon
his own account at the early age OF Iour-
teen. in the state of California He was
IN turn a miner, a teamster. mill hand,
a COW puncher, a stock raiser, a reporter
and an editor. From California he went
TO Nevada, and there engaged IN specu-
lation In mining properties, and fhailS
returned to San francisco, where ms
made fortune by specializing. He
bought the famous Bonanza mines OF
tho Comstock lode, and made SIX miliion
dollars out of the deal. In 1877 ne went
to New York with the Intention, II -
said, of taking the scalp OF jay Gouid.
hit he got into a wheat deal, through
which he lost his entire fortune. largely
through Mr.. Goulds opposition. FROM
that time until 1884 he traded with wary
ing success until April OF that year, when
he failed for three million dollars
But he went back on the market. dealt
in various stocks, principally sugar, ma
tional cordage and tobacco and amasseo
another fortune. which no Subsequently
lost in large part In dealing IN Third
Avenue stock. But he again recuperatcd,

millionaire. One Of the interesting Things
about Mr.. Keenes career is that he has
usually been the leader In the bear cam
paigns. and 1t was in such a campaign
that his son-in-law went to ruin
One sensible thing MIR. Keene has done,
however, is to make his wife his partner,
Years ago he promised her that he would
give her one-half OF all his winnings IN
stock trading, and 1t is said that ne mas
kept his promise faithfully, so that Mrs.
Keene is now one of the richest women
in the country. If all married men would

AN LANDMARK GONE.

The destruction OF the old hotel at Mays

marks of North Carolina. Before the
war Mays Head was great resort for
the wealthy planters OF the er H'@rn sec
ton of the state. many famih moving

Ing until the cool weather Of the fall.
They lived in cottages and the cottages
were unpretentious, but old-fashloned hos
ptality made up for any lack of COM
forts, and tho season was always gay and
enjoyable.
We do not know when the old hotel was
built, but 1t had been there for many
years, and was very dear, from its asso-
Citations, to many North Carolina people.
as well as to eastern Vlrginians. OF late
years, however, 1t was not so popular as
the hotel at Morehead City, but by reason
OF It's peculiar location, was still pop
ular resort. It was located on a. narrow
strip of land between Roanoke Sound and
the Atlantic Ocean, Roanoke Island being
only few miles distant. On the ocean
side there is the best Of surf bathing,
and the sound furnishes first-class sailing
and fishing There is n most picturesque
driveway from the hotel up the coast.
The driveway is through forest OF pines.
with immense sand hills and gorses here
and there, giving 1t much the appearances
OF a mountainous region. Just before
emerging from the woods beautiful
fresh water lake Is reached, and just
beyond the lake the wide ocean comes
Into full view.
Three years ago the hotel took fire and
would have been consumed but for the
gallant work OF tho guests, who formed q
bucket brigade and succeeded by and
by In extinguishing the flames. Many
people In North Carolina, and Virginia
as we'll. will read with genuine regret
the announcement of the destruction Of
the dear, ugly old building.

Notary Publics' Authority.

Editor Of The Times-Dispatch:
Sir,-There appeared IN your SUNDAYS

piled in the affirmative.

judge throughout the State and every
justice. commissioner In chancery and no

fame. security for their good behavior for

Section 1914, Code 1887, reads: When to
issue warrants of arrest. II It appear
proper such conservator shall Issue
warrant, reciting the complaint and re-
curing the person complained Of forth
with to be apprehended and brought be-
fore him or some other conserva tor"
Section s75s, Code 1887. reads: "That any
one refusing or neslecting to assist q
censervator Of the peace in restoring or
der or making an arrest, he shall be con,
fined In jail not exceeding six months and
be fined not exceeding 500.
Section $3.50, Code 1887, also gives mo-
tary the privilege OF carrying a concealed
weapon.
I might add that some four or five
years ago issued a warrant for the ar
rest of man, charging him with assault.
IIe was arrested, tried and fined $40. The
warrant was issued by me upon the state

NO TRIFLINo NOW.

xv,th the currenoy question we are not
arrnr,xed 70 End that many people give
the President and other leaders little
credit when they promise that the matter
shall receive the early attention OF Con-
pre,a But 1t is worth while to remem-
,ar that OF late tho situation has altered
y.rv materially. Men who could not be
moved by consideration for the business
public arc now subjected to political IN
nusnces which they cannot resist. Ihey
dare not go into next years canvass
without having done something for the
a,o.,Ioration OF tho business Interests OF
thu United States. They probably VIII
not DO all they should, do. nor all that
ia expected OF them By those who nave
faith, out they must. and we believe WILL
40 something towards providing an elastic
currency.
r. IL true that there Is a wide differ
enoe of opinion among Republicans az
among Democrats. as to what should DC
done to amend the national banking
laws hut the fact is that the party in
power has not yet set to work seriously
To reach an agreement But the burden
OF responsibility never pressed upon them
before so heavily as 1t does now. They
are face to face with an issue they can
~ avoid or postpone without danger OF
Overwhelming disaster at the polls we
may credit Mr.. Roosevelt and his lieu
tenants with astuteness enough to sec
that.
AS we have said more than once. we
believe many motives actuate tho Presi-
dent In desiring to see currency reform
accomplished. One of these is that he
wishes to be elected President! And 1t
would be a thorny path he would have
to tread in his campaign II Congress.
Republican Congress, permitted disaster
to come upon the country without rails
ing hand to prevent It,
Understand. we do not believe that all
the Ills that af111ct the land can be re-
moved by currency reform. No. We do
not hope for a congressional cure-all.
Nor is the present demand merely the
product of shrinking stock market; on
the contrary, It Is a conclusion that has
been gravely maturing for years, and
which now has reached such growth
that It's Importance cannot but be recos-
nized. Andathat the President sees!
But the question is, How can conflicting
opinions be reconolled. First. tho Re-
publlcans must come to an agreement
among themselves and present to Con-
Erees a bill that will commend itself not
only as an administration measure. but
AS a patriotic measure. This it Ia possible
for them to do. We DO not say 1t would
DO easy to DO. but that It would be pos
sihle.
Though It is not likely that they are
looking to US, or any other Democratic
source for advice. we want them to know
that the country is watching them closely
and IS; tired OF their trifling.
