orloIn Of "Robin Adair.-

Those who have a leaning to the sen.
timental side Of history will accept the
version that the hero OF the ballad was
a young and handsome Irish surgeon,
who, finding his way into London socl-
ETY. about the middle OF the eighteenth
century, was fortunate enough to Sc
cure the affections Of Lady Caroline
Keppel, daughter OF William, second
earl Of Albemarle, and his wife, Lady
Anne Lennox, daughter Of Charles,
first duke Of Richmond. The match
was naturally looked on with disfavor
by the family Of the young lady, and
II was during a period Of temporary
separation that Lady Caroline is said
to have written the words OF robin
Adair" and set them to the old Irish
tune Of EILEEN Aroon," which she had
learned from her lover At length
however, love triumphed, and the pair
were united on Feb %, 1858. Within
a few days Adair was appointed In
spector general Of the military hos
pitfalls and. subsequently becoming a
favorite of the king, was made sur
geon general, kings sergeant surgeon
and surgeon Of Chelsea hospital. He
died in 1890, leaving an only son, who
entered the diplomatic service and be-

BOUGHT BIG SAFES.
The Way Jay Gould brought an EH-

press Company 60 Terms.
Recalling early days In the express
business, an officer Of one OF the largest
companies told this story OF jay Gould;
"Gould and Fisk then had hold Of
the Erie" he said, "and the United
States Express company had all the
express business on the road. The con-
tract was about TO expire, and Gould
wanted an arrangement more prohta-
BILE TO the Erie.
"'The Ere's doing all the work and
you're making all the money, Gould
said 10 the express people. You ought
10 do some Of the work anu give the
railroad a chance at the money
1.-THE express company officials de-
INJURED. Their profit, they insisted,
was no more than they were entitled
TO- and they refused to shade the con
tract a penny Gould Insisted on n de-
crease, but they remained obduratc
and eventually let the Erie president
understand he very well knew
that no other company would compete
against the United States for the Erie
business. All the companies at that
time were In an agreement to maintain
rates.
"All right said Gould at the conclu-
sion Of the interview, you've no objec-
ton, | guess to my going into the ex
press business for myself. 1t looks
better than railroadlng'
1.-THE express people replied that
Gould could organize all the companies
he wanted to. They thought it was all
blum. but things that came 10 their at
tenton soon weakened their faith In
this idea. Gould was going around
among his associates talking up an ex-
press company scheme, officials of 9th.
err roads were told that new company
would be In the field to bid for their
business, and the papers began to talk
about the new Gould express company
"The express officials, however, saw
none Of Goulds money going into the
enterprise and stood pat. Presently It
was reported that he had bought TWEEN
ty-four big express safes. Was this
talk or was II buslnessi the express
men asked themselves, They set to
work investigating, and they discover
ed that the report was true, Gould had
actually bought and paid for the safes
safes cost money In those days, too
and he was negotiating for all the 9TH
er equipment required.
Now, thoroughly convinced OF
Gould's sincerity, the express company
came to terms. Gould got the best con-
tract from a railroad standpoint that
had been known up to that time. The
clause In the contract that the United
States Express company considered
most valuable to itself was one stipu.
lating the abandonment of Gould's ex-
press plans.
ut was all blum on Gould's part
except buying the safes. For that mat
ter the purchase was, Of course, part Of
the blum. but Gould had actually
bought and paid for them unconditlon-
ally. Nevertheless he lost nothing on
the deal, for as soon as friendly rela-
tons were established with the express
officials he persuaded them they could
use the safes In their business and sold
them at little better than cost

Fifty thousand pounds Of high
