600. The estimates Of his losses In
late years ran as high as S50,000,000.
When the new road was opened form
nlly IN April the city of Norfolk ex-
erted itself TO honor the builder. Mr..
Rogers took a party to Norfolk for the
opening. He appeared stronger than
for many months and In great spirits
over the railway achievement. At a
dinner In his honor he heard Mark
Twain praise him as benefactor. The
author told how the oil man helped
Miss Helen Keller. paying for her
education for quarter of century.
1t Is related of Mr.. Rogers expert
ence as member of the firm OF
Charles Pratt & Co. that the men In
the different Pratt factories came to
know his humors by the twist Of his
mustache.
Both ends up" they used to say in
advising each other that he was In a
mood to make trouble for somebody.
zone end up" meant fairly even
temper.
''Both ends down" signifled that the
day would pass pleasantly for the en-
ployees.
The story of how Mr. Rogers gave
his home town OF Fairhaven, Mass,
its sewer system Is Identical with the
story Of how he gave away one Of his
daughters In marriage. Having made
mp his mind that II the town could
hot afford the piping of Its sewage into
the bay he would himself meet the
expense, Mr.. Rogers determined that
be would choose the very best sewage
system obtainable. He decided ON a
Kind of sewer built by an English
company whose representative was
Urban ii. Broughton. He accordingly
Invited Mr.. Broughton to Fairhaven
and made him a guest at his home
while the two inspected the town to
determine where the pipes should be
laid. AT the Rogers home Mr.. Brough
ton met the financier's daughter, Cara
and as the trenches deepened bis love
Tor the heiress also grew deeper, with
the result that the engagement was an
nounced before the sewers were IN
isAsd.

the house of representatives vacated
by Theodore f. Burton when he was
promoted to the senate, is one of the
younger members of the house. He

Although as a new member Of the
house Mr.. Cassidy Is not supposed to
take much part in legislative doings,
the fact that he holds the seat occu-
pied for so long by man of Mr.. Bur-
