ANECDOTES OF
JOSEPH JEFFERSON
First Meeting With Lincoln.
New York WOrldD

During Mr.. Jefferson's first western
tour, while stu "a lad and a member OF
his fathers company. his wanderings
led him to Springfield. Ill. which. being
the capital Of the state, was deemed
worthy of an aIl-SeasOn stay But the
town had no theatre. so the elder JEFF

structure, ninety feet deep and forty
feet wide. was erected on it But when
the project seemed about to be crowned
by success = religious revival broke out

HEROES.

Great disasters that involve loss Of
human life seldom fail to bring out in
Stances of heroism and szlf-sacrifice to
strengthen our faith in humanity The
recent Harrisburg wreck furnishes a
good illustration. Here is the simple
story Of how one man surrendered his
life He was about to b carried from
the end of the car when he told the
two villagers who were lifting him that
woman and a baby were in the berth
below. They laid him aside and found
the woman dead The child was Iiv-
ing and they took it out. Before they
could return the car was ablaze and
the heroic victim was roasted alive"
Even his name is unknown.
Sam Schubert. the young theatrical
manager, received injuries from which
he afteTward died The fingers Of both
hands were charred to the bone and his
feet were almost burned off. Yet when
he was asked to go to the hospital he
said No I'm not so badly hurt as the
others; can go to a hotel
These were but two of dozens Of sim
liar cases The Harrisburg disaster
was not peculiar In this respect. Almost
every affair of the kind has its roll Of
heroes. Great souls are about US every
where all the time. but we do not re-
cognize them until some supreme sac
rifce reveals them to us.

SPECTACULAR BANKERS.

William b RidgeIy, comptroller of
the currency. made a speech to the
National Bank Cashiers association
the other day in the course Of which
he declared speculation to be the curse
OF the day and advised depositors to
'patroHize banks whose officers are
substantial rather than spectacular"
Excellent advice. II Mr. RidgeIv Will
supply the names of those bank Of
iiciaIs who have Spectacular" ten

as any of US that bank officials seldom
become Spectacular" until news of
their defaIcations are public property.

example In this case the man was not

He was regarded as one of the solid
financial pillars Of the country and
was 80 recognized by his fellow bank
ers. who honored him by eIecting him
as head Of their organization If the
great bankers of the country and AR.
Ridgely failed 20 discover that he was
spectacular how could the humble
depositor, who WAS not on terms Of
any intimacy with the man. learn that
he was other than substantially The
depositor Is not in the bankers con-
fidence and cannot know what the
bankers private interests are.
The trouble with Mr.. RidgeIy's ad-
vice IS that it implies information the
average dePOsitor has not and cannot
get.
