The late Alderman McCleary was
the richest janitor in America and
probably in the world. He began
with the Equitable Life Insurance
company when it was a small concern
and he continued in it's service, hir-
ing assistants as the work increased
until at last he had nearly a dozen.
As the building covered a full square
and contained hundreds Of tenants,
McCleary had liberal pay, which he
saved and bought real estate. and in
stead of living i'm the attic of the Equi-
table. he soon has house Of his own.
And then he became alderman and
held Office while the Broadway rail
road bought its franchise 1t was a
rich deal resulting in prosecution for
bribery, but McCleary was immune
though another alderman got a state
prison sentence, and so did Jake
Sharp, the leader in the movement.
Achieving such distinction and max
ing more than 100000. il is not sur

should have been called the prince

then the railroads now require a larg-
or supply Of steel cars than ever. The
New York Central, for instance, has
ordered 1900, while the Pennsylvania
road wants 10000. The inmensity Of
these operations create correspond
ing demand for coal, and the output
last year reached the vast amount Of

TO be liberal supply, but the lack of

The small sizes are also scarce, and
so many new industries now require
supply-even the coal required by
thrcshing machines forms goodly

The visit Of Sir Thomas Upton to
Boston partOOk somewhat of an inter
national character by reason of the in
innate association Of that gentleman
with recent contests for the trophy
for big sailing yachts. II is unlikely
that he would ever have become so
well known to American people but
for his persistence in the endcayOr to
lift" the Americas cup.
But in his coming to Boston there
is more than a recognition of this
incident. He was welcomed as a man
Of business as well as a good sports
man, and the attentions which were eX-
tended TO him included those of munici-
pal ofhcaldom as well as Of CONNER

SAN BERNARDINO, May 22.-The
Traction company has determined to at
once double track the Redlands cut
off from this city to Association park,
instead of the double track as was at
first planned. The grading has been
built for double track but 1t was ex-
pected to lay only one track at present.
This has, however, been changed and
the two tracks will be laid as far as
Association park, which will render the
handling of crowds to the race track
easy, where heretofore it has been a
difficult problem.

were those of Joseph Quinn, who left
here last fall for the mountains with a
horse and wagon. When Quinn was
last seen in the mountains he was
quite drunk and he has not been seen
since. 1t is possible that he wandered
