A GRANn IrNCTIoN NIAN.
An Interesting Sketch from the New
York Times OF Darwin L. Kings
lev, Now President of the New
York Life.

Few there are among the older res
ideuts Of Grand Junction who do not
know Darwin p. kingsley and who
did not read with pleasure two weeks
aco Of his election to the presidency
of the New York Life Insurance com
| pany at a salary of $50. 900 annually.
Mr. Kingsley, as is well known.
as formerly associated in the news
paper business in this city with Ed
win Price, the postmaster, now re-
I, tired from the newspaper business.
The following interesting sketch
OF Alr. Kingsley appeared in the New
York Times one day last week:
Mr. Darwin p. Kingsley, who took
his place last Monday at the head of
the New York Life Insurance com
/. pany. is a Vermonter. and, like all
I NermOnters. is proud of 1t. He comes
| OF a race that has always been pio-
] neers. His line goes back through
the New Hampshire Grants to North
s. ampton. Mass, and to Boston and
3 Dorchester. and there IS scarcely a
Y time in the almost 800 years covered
since his first ancestors landed when
\ they have not been on the frontier
. This trait developed in Mr.. Kingsley
himself, who, Immediately after grad
/ uating from the University of Yer
.
/ but not being entirely satisfied with
| so civilized city as Denver, coutin-
ued on, and finally landed in what
is now the city of Grand Junction. At
that time ii was settlement Cf tents
and log huts, and the Ute Indians
had only just taken themselves out
of the valley of the Grand to their
I reservation in Utah. This was in
.1SS2.
Mr. Kingsley's fathers means were
so limited that he could do substan-
TALLY nothing for his son, and as a
result the young man never knew at
the end Of one term how he would
get through the next: but by working
after hours, by working during vaca-
ton. sometimes teaching and some-|
times working as a day laborer on
farms, and by boarding himself, heI
managed to get through the prepara-
tory school with some distinction in
scholarship and entered the Univer-
sity of Vermont in the fall of 1877
Here he was faced by the same prob
lem. good friend came forward
and offered to lend him small sums of
money provided Mr.. Kingsley would
take out policy of insurance on his
life for $1,000, stating that he was
perfectly willing to trust him, butt
wanted to be protected against the
contingency of his death. This prob
ably was the first time that life in
surance was ever brought to Mr.
Kingsley's notice, and may have had
far-reachlng influence on his subse-
quent career.

Ruys Colorndo Ncwsnnner.

After a few weeks residence inI
Grand Junction he bought an interest
in the News, which is now the leading
paper in that section of Colorado.
This, as is usually the case in a
frontier town, brought him into poll
ties, and in 1854, three years after
graduation, he was a member of the
Republican national convention which
nominated James G. Blaine for presi-
dent.
Two years later, in 1856, he was
nominated on the Republican ticket
for state auditor, and occupied that
office being also eX-ohicio superin-
tendent of Insurance during the years
1887 and 1883. AS an editor Mr..
Kingsley had all the experiences pc
culiar to the management of a from
tier newspaper. In standing for what
he thought was right in politics and
in local government he had to defend
himself with his fists on occasion,
and as against the possible action OF

Dcvotee of Outdoor Sports.

In college Mr.. Kingsley was foot
ball player and a baseball player,
and indeed general deyotee of out
door sports. A busy life has not per-
mitted much time for this sort of
recreation, but in his rooms at 346
Broadway will be noticed a magni-
ficent specimen of a leaping tuna
caught by him with rod and reel at
Catalina islands, California, two or
three years ago. He is indeed,
member of the famous Tuna club.
Something like twelve years ago
Mr.. Kingsley first saw the game of
golf played in Surrey, just outside
of London. He has never since neg
lected an opportunity to play the
game. The ancient and royal pastime
has no more devoted follower. He
plays at st. Andrews, the first golf
club of the United States, and, while
not a scratch man, is very near it.
This constitutes substantially his only
recreation. His home is in River
Decentralization. His family con-
sists of a son, now 20 years of age
and a freshman in the University of
Vermont, and four children ranging
in age from 10 to 2. AZ
His library, not remarkable for
any other thing, contains a collec-
tlon Of Shakespeareana which is
worth noticing. It includes copies
OF all four OF the Shakespeare fo-
los; in fact. he has two copies of the
second 1892 folio, and other Shakes
peareanu of more or less interest
and value.
In religion his household is some
what mixed. He is probably closer
to the Unitarian belief than any 9th
err His wife was raised a Roman
Catholic. and his children attend the
Presbyterian church.

certain bad men. had to learn to be
reasonably quick with a shooting
iron.
At the end of his term as state
auditor and superintendent of insur-
ance he realized that he was face to
face with an important crisis. 1t had
been his ambition up to that time to
be a lawyer. and he had fully intend
ed to occupy a portion of his two
years time as auditor of the state in
Denver in reading law. He found
that his duties did not permit this.
or at least his idea of the proper dis
charge of his duties did not permit it,
and when various life insurance COM
panies approached him with PROPOSE
tions to enter their service he took
/ the matter under serious considera-
ton, and, as a result, took his fam
lily in January. 1889. and went to
Boston and entered the service of the
company of which he is now the pres
ident. In the language of life insur-
ance he began with the rate book,
then he managed an office. then he
took charge OF several states, then.
on the accession of John A. Mccall
to the presidency, he came to New
York and took up the agency man
agement for the New York Life as
a means of livlihood-
