Honor Well Bestowed.

The presentation Of loving cup to
/! Mr.. SAMUEL SLOAN by the Friendly Sons
of st. Patrick, last Monday evening, was
a tribute to citizen Of New York whose
distinction as leader in the develop
ment Of the town and, more widely, in the
general railroad development Of this
country, deserves and commands the
respect OF all Americans Mr.. SLOAN is
the oldest member OF that society. He
was elected to 1t sixty years ago, in ls43,
and he is also one of the oldest citizens Of
New York, still active and still prominent
in the most important affairs.
Mr.. SLoAN's life in New York goes back
to the period succeeding the War Of 1912.
when the town began to move forward
rapidly toward the supreme distinction to
which it has now attained as not only the
foremost. Of American cities. but also a.
the second city Of the world in magnitude
and as financial and commercial capital
Of the world which is striding forward to
the first place He was born in Belfast,
Ireland, on Christmas Day, 1917, and
therefore is now in his eighty-sixth year.
The whole OF his life has been passed with
in the boundaries OF New York as it is
now. His father was Scotch Presbyte-
rian, who came here from Belfast in 1918,
when Mr.. SLOAN was an infant Of less
than a year old, and engaged in trade and
commerce. At that period immigration
10 this port had taken a sudden leap
upward. and the time was approach
ing when the old settlers would become
alarmed lest this alien food, largely from
ireland, should swamp the country and
pervert It's whole social and political and
religious system. 1t is true that after
1920 there came lull in immigration,
which lasted till about 1890. but there
after it began to pour in again In volumes
80 great that the Know Nothing agitation
sprang up and continued for about a
quarter of q century with so much in
tensity that It threatened to bring about
profound political changes; but it sub
sided suddenly and left no trace in our
politics.
Mr.. SLOAN was pupil at the frst
public school built in New York, in Chat
ham street, New York Public School
Mol From 1t be passed to the Gram
mar School Of Columbia College. with q
view To preparing for admission to q COL
lege. This was the school. situated in MUIR
ray street, which was 30 long made
famous by the seotorehip Of DR.. CHARLES
ANTHoN. who assumed charge Of 1t in
1880. in addition to his duties a. q pro.
lessor In Columbia College. The death Of
Mr. sLoAN's father, in 1881, compelled
the boy to give up the project of a
collegiate education and to go into bust
nese to make his own living and. to some
extent, to contribute to the support Of
his family. In 1874 he became partner
in an Irish linen importing house and
there continued until 1857.

Secretary Of War Roor has decided that
he has the right to issue campaign medals
to Officers and men OF the army who served
in the Spanish war, the Philippine insurrec-
ton and the Chinese expedition, without
waiting for specific appropriation by Con.

on the amount provided for clothing and
equipment. Some rs 900 medals will be
needed, and artists and officers OF artistic
taste have been invited to submit designs
for them. The Volunteers will have to
wait until Congress appropriates money to
give them medals but 1t is especially i'm

Must submit to the Orders Rule.

Supreme Court Justice Gildersleeve de-
cided yesterday that Charles Franklin.
who attacked Frederick A. Burnham. presi-
dent OF the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Asso-
citation. in an insurance publication, must
stand trial at the hands Of his brother MEM
bers Of Excelsior Lodge, F. a A. NJ, on
charges preferred by W. D. Critcherson,
q fellow Mason.
