must not only be a good hustler, but he
must be also shrewd business schemer
and ready alike with his fists and his
tongue. Those who knew Oscar in this
period of his existence readily understood
why he had attained and preserved his
prominent position among the juvenile
merchants Of the curb. During the re-
publican national convention here in 1892
his hustling propensities enabled him to
make a big lot Of money, considering his
capital, and as he was at an age where
boys commonly seek some more dignified
employment, he put in an urgent applica-
ton for a place with T h J o urnal.
1t was not without some misgiving that
he was employed as a messenger In the
business office, for the qualities
which had enabled him to rule the alley
were not altogether those required in
good messenger boy. It only took a few
days, however, to demonstrate the fact
that Oscar meant business and realized
that if he was to climb the long ladder
he must be sure Of his footing as he went
along. In all his spare time, instead Of
lodging out on the street to watch pa
rades, or reading a nickel library in Sc
Guided corner, he was sitting at his desk
practicing penmanshfp or farniliariz-
ing himself with the system Of accounts
employed In the office. AS result, when
there was chance to put on an assist
ant bookkeeper, he stepped into the place
very naturally and filed 1T most accepta-

his own business qualifications that Mr.
Johnson took the civil service examina-

polntment. " He was curious to know how
he would stand In an examination sup
posed to involve thoro business train
ing, and after submitting to the ordeal
last winter, he thought little more about
1t. Recently he was genuinely surprised
to receive notification that he had been
one Of five out of 500 applicants who had
passed the examination. The opportunity
for seeing the world while drawing a good
salary at the same time was too much
for the young man to resist, and his de-

THE POOR MAN IN AMERICA

John Redmond, the eminent Irish
parliamentarian, in a speech at Killar-
ney Sunday, declared that the time had
arrived to start a campaign against
Irish emigration to the United States
He declared that the poor man was
happier in Ireland and that the posi-
bilities held out to the poor Irish bow
in America We're exaggerated.
Mr.. Redmond has apparently not
been observing the progress made by
poor Irish boys-or the intelligent
youth of other European countries-in
the United States if he conceives that
anything is impossible to the man who
comes to this countray determined to
succeed in life. The history of the
United States is built on the fact that
men have been permitted to rise in
proportion to their natural capacity.
This country has done much for the
poor boys of Europe-and they have
done much for the United States.
There is nothing in the natural con-
ditions here that will provide an indi-
vidual with brains, there is much that
will contribute to the development of
the natural faculties. The United
States should not be regarded as refuge
for the incompetent Or the vicious. Its
sole importance to the immigrant lies
In the fact that all the handicaps of
old forms in government and business
are removed. There is no limit to the
possible expansion Of the individual.
Ireland is no longer large factor In
the immigration records of this coun-
try. The little Island of the coast of

Europe has apparently performed its
function Of supplying a large measure
of brains and Drawn to the develop
ment of the country. But the success
of the Irish people who came to the
United States when emigration was the
alternative to starvation in Ireland has
been most astonishing. The sons and
daughters of those early immigrants
are leaders in business in all parts OF
the land. They figure very largely in
the national life. They have demon
strated that there is no limit to the
possibility of development.
If John Redmond means that it is
useless for the Irish peasant to come
to this country to cope with the cheap
labor sent here from the Slav states
and from Southern Europe, he is right.
If he thinks that it is not as easy for
the intelligent foreigner to find a place
in the ranks of the successful in this
country as it was in former years, he
misconceives the conditions.

TRIAL OF SAM PARKS
NEARS IT'S FINISH
Sans Lawyers DisentangIe Him From
Several Bad SnarIs.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The trial of
Samuel J. Parks, walking delegate of
the Housesmiths' and Bridgemen's
Union No. 2, ON the charge of extor-
ton, probably will be concluded to-
morrow. Judge Newburger stated when
an adjournment was taken this evening
until tomorrow that he would endeaVor
to bring the trial to a conclusion be-
fore Saturday.
Parks was a witness today. While
he admitted that great deal of tes-
t1mony given by the witnesses for the
prosecution was true, he testified that
many of the accusations made against
him were misrepresentation of fact.
Two or three times Assistant Attorney
Rand apparently had Parks in an awk-
ward place, but Mr.. Osborne and the
other lawyers for the defense were
very watchful and their persistent OBJ
Jections to leading questions were IN
variably sustained by the court. Parks
made no secret of his having received
the $500 from the complaining wit
nesses, but he insisted that this money
was paid in legitimate business
transaction with the Tiffany studios,
the corporation on the complaint of
which Parks Indictment in this case
was secured.
Parks, while in poor health, seemed
to be full Of energy. Several times the
prosecuting lawyers attempted to get
on record the fact that Parks had a
bank account of magnitude beyond
the possibilities of an ordinary me-
chanic, but each attempt was overrul-
ed or cut short through the efforts Of
counsel for the defense.

SALTWATER

Ex-senator D. M. Sabin, of Stillwa-
ter, who died at Chicago about year
ago, carried considerable life insur-
ance that was not paid by the compa-
MES after his death and suit has been
brought in the district court of Wash
ington county by Mrs. Sabin against
the Mutual Life of New York to re-
cover $4,000, the amount of three poll
cies carried by her husband. She has
also brought suit against the Interna-
tional of the United States to recover
on policy for $4,000, and Anna Mont
gomery has sued the International for
$4,000, the amount of a policy that has
been transferred to her. The compa-
MES refused to pay the claims, setting
up as reasons for not doing so that Mr..
Sabin's physical condition did not tai
ly with representations made by him
at the time the policies were issued.
The cases will probably come on for
trial at the November general term Of
court.

a meeting of 5000 persons who pro-
tested against the establishment Of
municipal employment bureau. The
authorities, in anticipation of disor-
ger. mad occupied the Place de Ia Re-
puollque and the nearby streets with
Strong force of military and police.
In the BourSe de Travail We're the or
carnations of the bakers, employees of
cares ana grocers. The first speaker
urged the crowd to await the result of
the parliamentary inquiry which. it
was predicted, would be a measure for
the suppression of the municipal en-
ployment bureau. Other speakers
!neue lhnammatory speeches, crying:
Down with the employment officers!"
The crowd thereupon rushed from
the building, and about 1000 swept into
the Rue du Chateau dEau, where a
formidable barrier of police had been
drawn up. The remainder crowded to
the Place de la Republique and the
boulevard Magenta, singing revolu-
tlonary songs. A lieutenant of police
and six men advanced to arrest the
singers, who resisted and were support
ed by the crowd. A free fight followed,
but the rioters gave way before a
charge of the police. The manifestants
then entered cafes and shops, seized
glasses, tables and chairs and renewed
the struggle with the police Another
section Of the rioters also attacked the
police.
There was a renewal of the rioting
TINS afternoon. The building was occu-
pied by many manifestants, who hurled
lnvectives at the police and sang the
'Internationale." The police deter

lice back. The military later were
compelled to use swords, and a bloody
conflict followed
Encouraged by the resistance Of
those in the building, their Sympa-
thizers outside attacked the police. The
forces of the municipality finally were
victorious and now occupy the Bourse

forty-five policemen were wounded and
that over 100 rioters were injured. a.
number Of them seriously hurt. Thus
far 100 arrests have been made.
