OF Executive Power.


1t is but natural, perhaps, that, on first
thought, the disposition should be to re-
gard Judge Parker as student who was
immersed in mental speculations wholly
given to the intellectual process of
weighing principles. But there is q
large executive side to the man which
has found play in the management, by
proxy, of three farms, one on which he
was born, in Cortland; one in Accord,
which came under his management
through his wife, and one at Esopps,
which is his home farm, and each Is un-
der his direction and each is actually
making money for him. It is this side
of him that his associate, Judge John
Clinton Gray, paid tribute to when he
said:
IT take occasion to say that under the
attentive leadership and the unwearying
efforts Of the present chief judge Of this
court, that under his management the
x~osent arrangement has worked adj

A Stirring Incident.

That Judge Parker is man of action
and doer as well as student and man
Of meditation was well evidenced in a
matter which is q part of the history Of
the city of Kingston. One September
day, in 1891, the Ulster County Savings
bank, of which he was a trustee, closed
its doors suddenly because of embezzle-
ments on the part Of the treasurer and
assistant treasurer, which could no long
err be concealed 1t was bank which
had deposits Of $2,500.000 and the en-
bezzlement amounted to 100000, wip-
ing out the supposed surplus and making
q deficiency. The bank had invested
about $1,50O,000 in real estate mort
cages, one-half of which were on the
farms in Ulster county. To wind up the
business of the bank, by appointing a
temporary receiver, and distribute the
assets pro rata-the ordinary way

Began Life on Farm.

Judge Alton Brooks Parker, candidate
eor presidency on the democratic ticket,
was born, farmers son, May IA, 1852.
He did not yearn to be farmer, but
Iae learned much about what farmer
boy must do to keep himself in good
standing with his own family.
AS early as he could he attended an
academy at Cortland, N Y, his native
town, and later drew from the Cortland
Normal school all the equipment for
life that 1t could give him.
He delighted in study, being anxious
TO complete his education by thorough
college training. desiring especially to
take course at Cornell university. His
parents we're not able to send him to
college, or even to take care OF him
while he was trying to flnd foothold
AZ the age OF is he became country
school-teacher.
He wandered as far afoot from home
IS the village OF Rochester, In Ulster
county, to find school in which he could
earn three dollars day. The dream of
q college life faded away Reluctantly
he was obliged to give up the hope OF a
broad training for his profession and to
think of the old-fashioned approach to
she bar through the Office of preceptor.
He was admitted to the Office OF
Echoonmaker & Hardenbergh, OF King

those men were eminent l. .h=.S profess

was finally enabled to enter the Albany
law school. gravitating between the Of
Gee OF his preceptors at Kingston and
the law school, according to season and
necessity.
In 1872 he was graduated and soon
after this the sign OF Parker & Kenyon
was hung out at Kingston.
A natural interest in politics led him
very early to participate in local eff

Entrance Into Politics.

In 1877, when he was rs, the democrats
Of Ulster county nominated him for
surrogate. He was elected for six
year term, and in 1883 was reelected.
While he was thus winning his way to
q place of honor and profit in his own
town Samuel j. Tilden had inspired him
with ideas about government and party
politics. His frequent visits to Albany
had brought him into association with
Daniel Manning, Edgar X. Apgar and
other active men, and his cleverness in
leadership in his county had given him
political prestige among the party lead
axs He soon formed an acquaintance
with Daniel s. Lamont.
In 1884 he was delegate to the con-
vention at Chicago that nominated
Grover Cleveland for president, and he
helped TO pull the candidate through In
the hotly contested campaign OF that
year.
Cleveland offered the position Of hrst
assistant postmaster general to Judge
Parker, and the offer was declined.

time Judge Parker was at his farm at
Accord, but hearing OF the disaster he
hurried to an investigation. There were
other trustees, among them Gen. George
H Sharpe, but Judge Parker, in his mas
terfulness, became the only one. His
first act was to lodge the assistant treas
urer in jail that night. His next a

the community, to take the burden on
their shoulders. The supreme court,
Fursman, judge, made a decree that
put the plan in operation and enjoined
the depositors from drawing out more

somebody thought he saw an opportun-
ity to iEc.s. --=..!tics, and newspaper Of
the town advised the depositors to draw
out their rs per cent at once, assuring
them 1t would be all they would get
The next morning, early, there was 3
frantic crowd at the doors. A run was
on and it mean ruin. But Judge Parker
had anticipated the malicious efforts Of
the mischief makers He was there with
q bag of money he obtained in New York
for the purpose. Leaping on the treas
urer's desk he called out: Come on!
We are ready to pay! Do you think we
would waste our time on a broken
bank!" And the panic was at an end.
Only III per cent. of the depositors de-
manded their money. The savings bank
was saved. The court of appeals sus-
tanned the plan and the treasurer and
assistant treasurer were sent to the
states prison. Then everybody wanted
Judge Parker as president OF the bank.
He accepted the position on the consid-

for his services, and he remained its
president until 1t was again on sound

His Early Marriage.

While he was teaching school in Roch-
ester village he met Mary L. Schoon-
maker, the daughter Of Moses l.. Schoon-
maker, Of Accord, and when the young
lawyer could see his way clear to sup
porting wife they we're married. For
many years they lived in handsome
house in Kingston owned by the judge,
but great love for the country and for
country life drew him each spring to
an old farmhouse near Accord, where
he could dip into agriculture. There
were two Children son, who died
when seven years old, and daughter,
Bertha, who Is the wife of Rev Charles
Mercer Hall, Of Kingston. Mr.. and Mrs
Hall have two children.
For many years the judge wanted to
secure country home on the banks of
the Hudson. This ambition he was able
to realize not long ago, when he pur-
chased an estate, with fine residence,
at Esopus. 1t is known as Rosemount
hall Here he spends as much time as
he can in tending to his farm. He de-
light to go out with the farmhands and
help them work the farm.
No farmer in Ulster county thinks OF
Judge Parker as the severe magistrate
when he is at home. To his summer
neighbors he Is only the man they have
loved as he rose from one position OF
honor to another without ceasing to be
their cordial and democratic friend.
Judge Parker Is not hunter; he
sometimes goes out with gun, but for
strolling far and wide rather than for
any settled purpose of killing, and as an
excuse for tramping in the fresh air.
Harriet Stratton Parker, the judges
mother, who is Is years of age and a
member of the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance union, spends part Of her time
at his home and the remainder at the
residence of her daughter, Mrs. Mary A.
Miles, in Derby, Conn. The judge has
brother, Frederick III. Parker, who is
in the insurance business in New York.
His father died several years ago.
In church the judge sings hymns in so
good tenor voice, sometimes SO loudly,
as to cause strangers to turn around and
look at him. He is popular among his
neighbors, and Rosemount is seldom
without guests when the Parker family
is at home The judge cultivates 100
of the lao acres of the farm. Much of
the land is covered with peach. apple and
| pear orchards and grape vineyards His
| red poll cattle are his especial delight.
He is fond of talking OF his blooded stock
