the United States-seem to think I,
necessary TO surround themselves with
bodyguards wherever they go. says
the New York World. They are:
Theodore Roosevelt. President of the
United States. who Is afraid of nothing,
but yielded to public desire.
John d. Rockefeller. founder OF the
Standard Oil Company. who Is afraid
of kidnappers.
Henry c. Frick. steel multi-milIion-
aire. who is afraid of Anarchists.
There could be many others. How
many Of the great iinanciers and money
powers Of Wall street are there who
might well think II prudent to have
themselves watched over. each by an
alert and active man able to dispose of
make a hostile sign against his mas
ter?
Jay Gould used to walk abroad pro-
tected by the Chief OF Police of New
York. Thomas Byrnes. or one of his
strongest and smartest sleuths. But
ly uncourageous, had been picked up In
a frenzied mans hands, shaken like Il
rat and dropped over an area railing.
Jay Gould also. on the night Of Grover
Cleveland's first election, had heard a
mob yelling In front of his mansion.
calling for rush to hang him to the
nearest lamp past. because lie was sus-

the Presidency into Biainc's hands. AZ
ter that episode Jay Gould had Il secret
tunnel built from his house to the
Windsor Hotel 10 that he might escape
easily In case Of another riot He
never was molested again, but he never
went out without his shadow.
His son George. head Of the Gould

never dreading, attack.
RoekefeIier's Body Guard
To begin with the body-guarded men,
first consider Rockefeller. The World
printed few days ago a report from
Cleveland that this aged mana tar
get OF censure from every speaker,
great or small. who seeks a type OF all
corporation abuse-never goes about III
his home city without several men to
ward off harm.
The dispatch from Cleveland said
Mr.. Rockefeller regarded Cleveland the
safest city-for HMM the world
There are his friends; there he laid
the small beginnings of his Millionaire
fortune: there he has lived his admir-
ably simple home life: there he reared
his generally respected family: ther"
he has met his ,ownsmen rs ncighbors
Cleveland Is u city of good homes. with
many fine houses; a respectable city,
well policed. where the "hold-up" and
the porch climber" do not bulk large
IN the days news rs they do in Chi
eago. u town where Mr.. Rockefeller, go
ing from his mansion to his Office,
would not pass through purlieus OF
wretched and perchance desperate folk.
Yet there he Is surrounded by a stan
Of Trustworthy and vigorous ex-detec-
tiyes; men trained to spring at the
first sign Of criminal intent. These
protectors are with him everywhere.
Dr. Biggar, who Is not only Mr., Rookie
feller's physician. but his devoted
friend, Is also his shadow and watch
dog, He went abroad with him last
summer and played Cerbcrus to him
until the elderly magnate, new-deter-
mined upon policy of playing aifabie,
decreed that he would receive every
man or woman with IA reasonable or
rand. even II that errand were only one
OF reasonable curiosity.
