mission was "to lift the veil'' and show
each side it's error.
His first public speech along this
line was at Tiffin, o. He spoke on
the public square, and he had great
crowd to listen to him. His utterances
were of such a violent nature that for
his own protection the officials took
him into custody AMI placed him in
Jail. He was, however, soon released,
and then he went from town to town
through Ohio speaking on his theory
for staying the bloody hand of war, .
and bombarding the newspapers with
his views.
Visited Lincoln and Davis.
It was some time after this that
he went to Washington. His mission
was to see President Lincoln and ar
range a meeting between him and
President Davis for peaceable set
Element of the war, seemingly salts
fed that if he could get the two to-
gether that he could end the war.
President Lincoln accorded him an in
terview. To him J. N. unfOlded his
theory. He desired Lincoln to pass
him through the army lines so that
he could visit President Davis at Rich
mond. President Lincoln was amused
with his eccentricities, and, seeing the
harmlessness of his madness, fur
nished him with protection through
the lines and note to Davis.
J. N. reached Richmond and called
on President Davis, to whom he also
explained his theory and was given
the privilege of "airing his views"
on the streets of Richmond. He was
not slow in doing it. His queer ways
pleased the confederate soldiers for
awhile, but ere long he became a
nuisance, and, on the pretense that he
was northern spy, he was sent back
through the lines to Washington. He
returned satisfied that he had made con-
verts to his theory of both Lincoln and
Davis, and resumed his lecturing tours
through different cities of the north,
posing as ''the martyr of truth" and
preaching his theory of lifting the
veil" Throughout the years since
then he has followed this mission, and
there are few cities and towns, in the
west, particularly, that he has not
spoken in. Now, however, his mind is
so shattered that he never attempts
to make a public speech. So many
know him in every place he wanders
that he always finds those who will
extend him hospitality and help out
of sympathy.
Never Paid Railroad Fare.
The source of his money supply J..
N. always refused to divulge, as OBJ
stinately as he refused to tell his age.
He was seemingly never without it
when occasion demanded that he
should fish up 4 nickel or dime for
lunch, or some obstreperous landlord
or railroad col luctor positively re-
fused to acknowledge his philosophers
right to the best without price. AS a
rule he travels on a life or yearly
railroad pass, and had free swing al
any hotel he entered.
occasionally he had some queer
ways of getting out of paying hotel
bills. If the landlord or clerk was
persistent, he would say: You don't
seem to know who am. I am the I'M
mortal J. N, the philosopher "Oh,
WE'LL" finally the man behind the desk
would say, in that case I will throw
off one-half of your bill" Then j.
N would straighter up with the dig

that could be heard throughout the
hotel office:

a restless, wandering nature, and he
made towns and cities about as rapidly
as the commercial traveller does, with
the added element that che was al
ways at it," There were no vacations
with him.
Knew Many Public Men.
J. N. knew and was known by about
every editor in the country, in the
western states, at any rate. About tbs
first thing he did after getting into
a town was to find his way to a news
paper office to write his own an
nouncements of his meetings and fill
his pockets with exchanges. He
generally heralded his coming with d
postal card, written at some other
town, to the editor. His published
meetings, of late years, failed to ma
teriaIize He realized the fact that he
could not hold his audiences, and con-
tented himself with the notices that he
got through the newspapers. He al
ways hunted up old friends, however,
and they "stood the pressure" for a
coin of greater or less denomination.
But j. N. never begged; he only ac-
copied such sums as contributions to
the cause of truth. His acquaintance
among public men was wide. He knew
about every lawyer and politician in
any town he might visit. For many
years he was acquainted witht every
president, and most Of the governors,
senators and congressman. He never
forgot a face or name. In his visits
of the states if he happened at the
capital when the legislature was in ses-
sion, he was asked to address it. There
was seldom a political convention. ma
tional or senate, that he did not at
tend, bobbing up at some of them IN
recent years, when many of the dele
gates had supposed him to be dead

TELLS SEATTLE PEOPLE
 ABOUT GROWTH OF SEWARD
F. G. Hale Gives The Times a Stock of Information of Alaska Cen
 tral Terminus

F. c. Hale, president of the Bank of Seward. while in Seattle to purchase fixtures for the new bank building, was interviewed by a Seattle Times reporter, and a., a result the people of the Sound city were enlightened in this wise:
 The rapid growth of Sewanj to met ropolitan rank, as described by Mir. Hale. is an illustration Of the great development Alaska is undergoing. "I believe it will surprise even the people of Seattle, said Mr. Hale this morn- ing, ito know that Seward, although but two years old, is one of the most up-to-date little towns on the contin- ent. Every branch of business is rep resented there by several firms in each branch, and three of the stores are al- ready doing a considerable wholesale trade. We are putting up a new bank building 25 by 60 feet, two stories high. of concrete blocks throughout and plate glass front. believe it will be the best business block in Alas ka. Another business block there, with front of concrete blocks and plate glass, was finished only little while before l left,
 "While the business men now in Seward are doing a profitable business, there are plenty of them to care for the field until the rails of the Alaska Gen. tral Railway are laid out to about mile 75. At present they are at mile AT, but the grading is finished for several miles beyond, and as soon as the tun- nels on miles 5l and B are bored tracklaying will be pushed ahead,
 ''The mineral discoveries in the Matanuska and Susitna valleys have turned out surprisingly rich, 1 be- Iieve the new Yentna district is cer- tain to be another Panama. The coal de- posits of the Matanuska, Susitna and Cantwell valleys extend 250 miles north and south, and it is equal to the best grade of coal on the continent. The Susitna valley, too, is capable of supporting an agricultural population of l, 100000 people.
 "When the Alaska Central railroad is finally completed to the Panama river Seward will do the jobbing and financial business for three-quarters of the population of the territory. Un- less Seattle jobbers in the meantime establish branches there they are cer- tain to lose the bulk of the business they are now doing. Two wholesale houses in Portland have already estab- lished agencies at Seward in anticipa- tion of the future developments and shifting of trade"
