Personal characteristics.

Judge Parker, a mar of So years last
May, does not look his age by ten OF
them. He Is a handsome specimen OIL
manhood, standing six feet In his shoes.
His hair is a reddish color, his eyes a
hazel brown with a reddish tinge, his
face wears the furnished livery of the
sun with the same reddish tinge. His
nose Is aquiline and aggressive and his
chin is aggressive in its breadth and
thrust forward. This high color first at
tracts attention, then his chin, which
conveys the impression of great will
power, logged adherence to a purpose
once made and determination to carry
forward the enterprise agreed upon. The
nose claims attention. with its showing
of force and investigative power. The
coarse. red mustache between chin and
S tells you of v"irility, and by this time
you are beginning to think, perhaps,
that the animal qualities predominant,
until the eyes engage your attention,
when those windows of the soul tell you
that if there are animal qualities In the
makeup of the man they are in control
and are tempered by a kindly disposition
and an acute intelligence that is wide
awake and cognizant of all that is trans
piring within their ken. Above rises a
high, broad, smooth, white forehead,
which is symmetrical, in its slope pre-
serving the fullness OF the intellectual
part without minimizing that of pene-
tration and observation. If you are a
phrenologist, you will say that he is a
man who is fond of music, that he is a
good guesser of weights and in his youth
had an inclination toward athletic
sports, especially Of q gymnastic nature,
with a fine sense of color and the quality
of telling the time of the day without
consulting the watch. And you will also
determine from that high, broad, white
forehead that he thinks without effort,
with unusual powers of concentration,
that with little difficulty he move his
mind from one consideration to another
without friction, that he has wonderful
nervous endurance and a labor for
longer hours with less fatigue than most
men. You shall also discover that the

he learned much about what a farmer
boy must do to keep himself in good
standing with his 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 it could give him.
He delighted in study, being anxious
to complete his education by a thorough
college training, desiring especially to
take a course at Cornell university. His
parents were not able to send him to
college, or even to take care Of him
while he was trying to find a foothold.
AT the age Of 16 he became a country
school-teacher.
He wandered as far afoot from home
as the village of Rochester, in Ulster
county, to find a school in which he could
earn three dollars a day. The dream of
a 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
the bar through the office of a preceptor.
He was admitted to the Office of
SHOEMAKER & Hardenbergh, of King
ston, N. Y, as a law student. Both Of
those men we're eminent in their profess
sion. Working his way, young Parker
was finally enabled to enter the Albany
law school. gravitating between the Of
flee 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 a local eff
fort in that line. He speedily evidenced
a decided ability for political manage
ment. From the start he was a demo-
crat.

and secured rs who had the confidence o.
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
than Is per cent. Of their deposits. Then
somebody thought he saw an opportun-
ity to play politics, and a 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 a
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
a 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 II 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-

with difficulty secure ABOUT 1900 plu-
rality the previous year.
During the campaign Justice Theo-
dore r. Westbrook died. One Of the first
appointments made by Gov. Hill after
his election was thai of Mr.. Parker to the
judgeship made vacant by the death of
Justice Westbrook. BY some this dis
position of Parker has been interpreted
as indicating a desire on the part of
Gov. Hill to shelve a man who was ris-
ing to such a height that he might o
be an obstacle to Hills ambitions.
This was gratifying to Parker, no mat
ter what may have been Hilrs motives.
Judge Parker had not been long, upon
the supreme court bench before the peo-
pie of the state began to appreciate his
ability as a jurist as well as a politician.
When election time came he enjoyed
the rare distinction of being the single
candidate of the two great parties and
was elected without opposition.
And still he continued to rise. In
June, 1889, was created the second d.

A Stirring Incident.

That Judge Parker is a man of action
of meditation was well evidenced in a
matter which is a 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
er be concealed. 1t was a bank which
had deposits of $500, 900 and the en-
bezzlement amounted to $500, 000, wip-
ing out the supposed surplus and making
a deficiency. The bank had invested
about 1850, 900 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
would be to foreclose these mortgages,
throw many on the market, reduce their
values and ruin the farmers and infiict
further loss on the depositors. At the
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
prompt effort to induce a strong fiduciary
institution to take an assignment OF
the mortgages with a local bank as dis
count agent. But that failed. No insti-
tuition was willing. Then he showed his
and his inventive powers. He
asked the equity court, in the place of
appointing a temporary receiver, to
name Is prominent citizens as trustees.
1t was a new idea, and it commended it
self to Charles M. Preston, who was at
the time state superintendent of banks
and a resident of Kingston. The judge
pleaded with the leading men of Kings
ton, merchants, bank presidents. etc.,

politics. His frequent visits to Albany
had brought him into association with
Daniel Manning, Edgar K. Apgar and
other active men, and his cleverness in
leadership in his county had given him
political prestige among the party lead
ers. He soon formed an acquaintance
with Daniel S. Lamont.
In 1884 he was a 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 first
assistant postmaster general to Judge
Parker. and the offer was declined.
About this time David B. Hill. who
was then governor of New York, filling
Cleveland's %unexpired term, came to
know Parker very we'll. He sent to
Kingston for him and offered him the
Craftsmanship of the state executive
committee, as Hill thought the probable
ity of his being elected was not very
bright.
Against his wishes he was appointed
chairman of the state executive COM
mittee, and applying himself to the work
he had reluctantly accepted, he over
came the apathy of his party and saw
his candidate victorious by IL 900 plural
ity in the state in which Cleveland had
