 It is said that soon after he began work he was noted and identified by Charles Kerr of 3157 Broadway, who is employed at the Hawkins plant and who had known the clergyman. Mir. Kerr told friends 4 the advent of the disguised clergyman in the iron works. Whether Cooke knew he had been rec ognlzed and quit his job on that ac- count or whether be had earned enough to tide him over his pressing temporary need is not known, but he is said to have left the iron plant.

ONE MAN POWER DENOUNCED
Holders of 5000 Shares of Illinois Gen. traI Railroad Resolve to Send Proxies to Ex-President-WilI Cancel Harri- man Ones.

Hartford, Conn.,, Oct. 4.-At meet ing of the local stockholders of the Hi nois Central railroad held in the board of trade rooms here it was voted prac- | tically unanimously to have all of the proxies of the stockholders present turned over to Charles NJ. Beach of this city, who is a director of the Hi nois Central and a supporter of Stuy- vesant Fish in the fight with the Har- riman interests. Those who have al- ready sent their proxies to Hartman will cancel them in a way to insure their being ineffective.
 The stockholders represented more than 5000 shares. The. meeting was overwhelmingly anti-Harriman. The Rev. Dr. Francis Goodwin said that the personal quarrel between Fish and Hartman left all in an unpleasant sit uation. The pamphlets circulated by the eontending factions, he said, show ed the existenceSof two or three great evils in the past management of the road, which if continued would result in great damage to it. ..
 If we as stockholders sit down si- lently, knowing this, then we are re- sponsible for the mismanagement." said Dr. Goodwin. He said that Harri- mans career was such that no one could have confidence in him. His con trol of the Illinois Central. the speaker added, would be calamity, for he would simply tie 1t to his chariot wheels. divert its freight and profits and make it simply a servant to the Pacific roads.
 One Man Power Condemned.
 These views were shared by the oth- CT speakers. Resolutions were passed as follows: .--
 Whereas. the present controversy in the management of the Illinois Gen. tral railroad has brought to the knowledge of the stockholders the fact that the board of directors has dele gated it's powers in intervals of session to an executive committee. which in turn has conferred the same absolute power upon it's chairman. which we believe to be a grave danger to the in- terests of the corporation and of it's stockholders:
 And whereas. the fact has become known that by this concentration of authority the officers have been en- abled to, make large loans to them selves on such securities and terms as they themselves deem sufficient and are the whole judges of. and as 1t is also evident that under this present system 1t Is possible for any indfTid gal delegated win these powers tol make fn his own interests this rzfIro2d

MANUFACTURED SENTIMENT.
Legislation Overseer Received Cash From Metropolitan Securities Com pany to Place Where 1t Would Do the Most Good"

New York, Oct. 4.-Deliberate de- struction of all record of the disburse- ment of almost $50,000 be had received from the Metropolitan Securities con- pany to place where it would do the most good was. admitted by Lemuel Ely Quigg, legislation overseer, public sentiment accelerator and labor upris- ing expert for the Belmont-Ryan trac- tion trust. Again Quigg was the star witness at the Interborough-Metrop tan investigation before President Will COX of the public service commission. Quigg made no effort to conceal his purpose in destroying the data in rela- tion to such disbursements. Without a trace of shame he said he had done it for the purpose of preventing the pub- lie ever knowing to whom the pay ments had been made.
 What was regarded as one of the most astounding of his many admis- sions, however. was that even since the public service commission has come into existence he had created delegations in the Bronx to go before the commission and urge that it per init the traction trust to third track the Second and Third avenue ''L" lines. He had organized bitter oppo- sitiOn to that plan before the merger when Ryan was fighting Belmont so bitterly.
 Names Wells and Healy.
 Quigg was asked through whom he had been working up this sentiment and spending the money. Quigg said it was through former Tax Commis- sioner James l.. Wells. a prominent Republican politician in the Bronx. and Edward Healy. Republican lead CT in the Thirty-first assembly district fin the Bronx.

clearly between the lines that this monster petition had been used as a club to block the Belmont subway plans and to force him to go into the merger. It also forced him to take over the New York City and the old Metropolitan companies, both of which were bankrupt. Quigg asserted he never knew the petitions were put in the public schools with instructions to the teachers to get the children to sign them.
 Sworn Statements Vary.
 The witness admitted he had been in Albany many times and had met many members of the legislature in the speakers room. He denied, how ever. he ever had lobbied in the speak. CTS room or that he was lobbyist.
 There was a time in Quigg's exami- nation when Twins seemed on the verge of putting him on the run and when the witness showed extreme nervous ness. Quigg had admitted he had been in Albany many times in promotion of or opposition to legislation. Twins picked up a copy of the record of the Lessler-o ouigg- Doblin bribery investga- ton by a committee of congress. He began drawing the deadly parallel" In his testimony before that congress committee Quigg had denied positive ly he ever had gone to Albany on leg islative affairs for the railway compa. ny or that he was employed as a lob byist. Twins asked him how he recon. ciled his two sworn statements. Quigg hesitated a few seconds and then said the congress hearing was in 1903, and up to that time he had not made any trips to Albany for the railway compa ny to influence legislation.
 Twins said that S43,s7s of the S151,. GOO that had passed through Quigg's hands was unaccounted for and S10.. GOO of the cash items. by Quigg's state ment, represented salaries.

COURTESY at Home,

We are all creatures of habit,
men and women alike, and the habits
and surroundings of daily life have a
powerful influence on the character of
both. The root of all bad manners is
selfishness; when self ever is first, fore
most consideration for others always
Tags much in the rear, and drops so
far behind in time that it disappears
altogether. zone cannot keep up the
ceremony and etiquette of society
when at home" True, for between
friends these can be laid aside. They
merely are the rivets that keep So
ciety together, but not courtesy and
consideration. The latter ought to
be so much the habit with each of us
that it will become our second nature.
and therefore can be no more laid
aside than can an arm or leg.

TRADITION OF THE ROSE.
Pretty Legend Current Among North
American Indians.

The North American Indians OF the
western coast have tradition that
roses were created without thorny
So tall and fair they grew that aa
creatures were attracted by their
beauty and grace Animals that
browse upon grass and green heritage
soon discover the tender sweetness OF
the roses abundant foliage, and then
every rose tree holding its flowers
aloft but attracted attention and drew
destruction to itself.
Every part of the earth had been
given its glory of roses, but in every
place there were animals which
sought the bushes to devour them.
and and tribes Of roses were in dam
ger of becoming extinct. In their ex-
tremity they held a council, for in
that faraway morning of the world
plants as we'll as animals had power
to speak. To the council all the
roses came, and each had tale to tell
of suffering and disaster. At length
it was decided to send for help to the
goldman of the tribes-the Hiawatha
of the west. Delegates were chosen
from among those who were MANNED
and torn and had suffered most. 9th
ers also were sent who were tall and
fair and graceful. Wisely this coun-
Gil discerned that should justice be
denied the tribes, beauty might pre-
vail in their cause.
The conference was long and grave.
At its close an armory Of thorns was
given to every rose, and thus were the
tribes of roses delivered from the en-
