100 Years AGO in Ohio.


Incredible as 1t seems, Cleveland, the
present metropolis of the state and one
Of the great cities of the country, was
not Incorporated as a village until
1874, and had then a population of not
more than 300 people, though its loca-
tion made it prominent in small way.
The entire commerce of Lake Erie up
to 1872 was carried on by six small
schooners.
Cincinnati, already important though
not yet incorporated, contained about
300 dwellings, good court house and
Jail, upward of twenty stores, and, as
an old description says, 'The various
branches Of mechanism are carried on
with spirit. industry of every kind be-
ing duly encouraged by the citizens, 1t
Is likely to become a considerable
manufac cturing place"
Until 1911, when steamboat was
for the first time launched on the
Ohio river. keel boats propelled with
poles left Cincinnati for Pittsburg ev-
cry four weeks. On account of the In
dians and outlaws who infested the
banks the trips were dangerous, SO the
boats were provided with bullet proof
covers and carried cannon and small
firearms.

Blondes More Photoaraphed.

Blonde women have their photo
graphs taken just about twice as often
in the long run as brunettes," remark
ed E. Bakody, photographer, the other
day. "The reason is easy; blondes take
better pictures than brunettes. The
lighting effects are better when the
subject is blonde.
"A blonde girl may get photograph
that will flatter her, where one of a
brunette taken under the same condi-
tions will not even do her justice. Nat

BERLIN, Nov. "A recent number of Die Welt-Warte contains an attack upOn English Youths from the pen of weliknown London writer, Sophie Leppel She candidly declared that al. though the typical John Bull is still to be found in certain parts of the Elm pire--principally in the colonies-he has become a relic of past generation and that his place has been taken by a class which lack manners, culture and courage.
 "In Germany" she says, "an edu- eoted man is expected to possess the manners of a gentleman, whether born an aristocrat or not, and one rarely meets with an exception. It is different in England. The average young Eng lishman can neither walk, sit nor stand like and English aristocrat or a Ger man officer. To observe him lowing or dancing or raising his hat in the street to lady is painful sight. He is apparently totally unconscious of the defects in his gait and manners. All his thoughts seem to be taken up with

promoters were enabled to sell treasury stock at par, John H. Martin, assis. tant secretary and treasurer of the cor. poration, will bc examined in supple. mentary proceedings tomorrow at the office of R. A. Jones, the company 6 secretary, in 25 Broad street.
 Mr. Jones himself, who has been drawing large salary from the com. pany since it's corporation, has already testified that as far as he knows ali the assets were made away with by Go. Greene as far back as 1906, month before tho initial dividend of per cent was declared in the preferred stock of tho company. On the testimony of the officers of tho Greene company so far reac hable, Ralph Link of l46 Broadway, counsel for Broker Arnold, is of the opinion that the stockholders have at least one hope left of getting back a part of their money, and that is through suits against the New York di. rectors, who still arc within the New York jurisdiction, to recover the $49,- 63l paid in dividends on the preferred stock in February and March, 1907.
 According to New York state laws directors are responsible for dividends paid out of assets. As far as the tes- timony of the officers of the company 90 far examined shows the company not only had no earnings on which to draw in that year, but in its entire assets had been hypothecated some months previ- ous in Mexico by Col. Greene not only without the consent but without the knowledge of his fellow officers.
 Col. Greene, from the testimony ad- duced, not only got l5,000,00 of the company s stock as 1t was issued in pay ment for various properties and conces- sions of his in the Republic, but large part of the cash, which Secretary Jones testifies amounted to between $4,0o0, 900 and $5,O00,000 paid into the treasury for sales of stock, went to Col. Greene in return for additional properties ac- commodatinly furnished.
 In the examination of Judge J. J. Farren, who, as holder of 3,20o shares of the Greene Gold-silver stock, forced his election as director at tn, annual meetin gin October last year in an at tempt to discover where he stood as a stockholder. Lawyer Link brought out the fact that an examination by the committee of stockholders showed that the title to practically all of the company's twentyont mining proper ties in Mexico aggregating nearly 3O,- 900 shares, was vested in the Greene Gold-Silver company s. A., n Mexican corporation, whose shares were sup posed to have been issued to the Greene Gold-Silver company of Wet Virginia, whose shares had been marketed in New York.
 Some time before his connection with the company, Judge Farren swore, the
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1908-11-08

stick of this Mexican corporation had been hypothecated by Col. Greene with the Cananea Realty company of Mexico of which Greene is president, without the knowledge or authority of the di. rectors. Judge Farren s vestigations, he testified, went far enough to discover that the Cananea Realty company had in its turn hypothecated the assets of tho West Virginia Greene Gold.Silver company with various Mexican banks, but he was unable to learn what string, if any, the West Virginia company had on its property.
 Judge Farren testified that the West Virginia company had no property in New York to satisfy the sl,l33 judg. ment, as, far as could be learned, and that the only other American property he had been able to trace as having once belonged to the corporation was some in Arizona and tbat this had been dropped from the books of the company without any explanation as to it's dis position. Whenever he had run across n .nag in his search for the company 8 property, he testified, he had been met with the statement that Col. Greene was the only person with the necessary in. formation.
 Col Greene departed from New York imediately after Judge Faren's election to the directorate of tho company in 1907, and has been appealed to in vain repeatedly since to come back from Mexico and explain. Shortly after Col Greene left New York F.. J. Gales, treas. urer of the company, resigned. and be, too, is now out of reach of the court processes of the state. In his absence the creditors, through Attorney Link, have endeavored to get some light on the disappearance of the assets through the testimony of Secretary R. A. Jones. 1 Under oath Mr. Jones has testified that Col. Greene has received s15,0o0, 900 of the $25 ,090y GOO stock of the the Greene Gold Silver company, and that from the sale of stock between $4,000,000 and $5 ,000,0 of cash has been turned into the treasury as far as his memory served. This had gone, he said, to pur- chase and develop the properties in Mexico, to which title now stands in the name of the Mexican corporation whose stock has disappeared.
 An aditional embarrassment to the stockholders is furnished in the fact, according to the secretary's testimony, that number of the properties were only partly paid for, and that these have been since lost through tho non payment of the balances There is no record in the New York books or the company, according to Mir. Jones tes- timony, to show that the Mexican cOn- pany's stock ever came into possession of the West Virginia company, which had been selling it in New York nt par. This fact was called to the atter-

 Instead of treating directly with N. Liaptchof, the Bulgarian minister Of commerce, Kiamil Pasha, the grand vizier, delegated three under officials to conduct the negotiations.
 It is thought that foreign influences and disscnsions in the Turkish cabinet are responsible for the grand vizier s eircumspection.
 NJ. Liaptchoff has been empowered to negotiate a customs union between the two countries, the junction of the rail ways at Kostendil, in southwest Bul garia, and the maintenance of the priv ilege of Bulgarian schools and churches in Macedonia, in return for which the Bulgarian government would pay more willingly the Roumanian tribute which has been forced upon it by the powers.

On Sundays hundreds of young couple can be seen in the parks, the young man us- ually representing picture of physi- cal deterioration, his partner generally being beautiful and high-spirited girl The only reason for this apparent bad taste must be the dearth of good look ing young men, so that any sort of sweetheart is better than none"
