Began Career as a Rodman.
Mr. Cassatt was born In Plttsburg
in 1880; was educated In Germany
and at the Troy Polytechnic institute
He entered the service of the Penn
sylvania railroad In 1861 as rodman.
In 1867 he became superintendent Of
motive power and machinery and In
1878 became general superintendent
for the Pennsylvania system. From
this time on his rise was rapid and I'm
1880 he had become first vice presi-
dent. In 1882 he resigned and did not
again hold an official position In the
company until he was elected to the
presidency of the company in 1889.
Mr.. Cassatt began his railroad career
In the engineering department and
never lost his interest in that branch
and the planning and starting Of the
great New York city tunnel system for
the company was due to him. Mr..
Cassatt had resided In Philadelphia
for many years sraIr' lily had
been very prominent socially In the
city.
The news Of President Cassatt's
death came as a great shock to the
citizens Of Philadelphia, among whom
he had lived for many years. That he
was SO near death was not believed
by many who enjoyed intimate rela-
tions with him and his family and few
at first credited the report.

"The comparison between the Prus-

the French senate was entirely wrong.
The Prussian law, although hard and
unjust towards the church, explicitly
recognizes the Catholic hierarchy as

II. e. Barnard. formerly of New

has a pretty good State Fair, despite
the doubtful parentage of some of the
drinks sold on the ground, says the
Indianapolis News.
Yesterday Chemist Barnard and Mr..
McAbee, one of his inspectors. went TO
the Fair, with a real and ostensible
purpose-to see the Fair and to inquire
minutely into the family history and
legitimacy of the orange elders, the
lemonades, etc, on sale. He went out
again today and told EN- what to do
