I that Industry. Ne was quick to see
the greatness of the opportunity.
| With his habitual vigor and dauutless
enterprise he rapidly extended tho
business. became president Of Ave Of
the largest firms and controlled a
number of houses engaged in auxll-
larry industries. He served as presi-
dent Of the National Carriage Manu-
facturers' association with consptcu-
Gus success, and was largely instru-
mental, with others. In the establish
ment Of the great Cincinnati carriage
trade. II is on account of his cen
nection with this business that he Is
most widely known, and among his
business associates in this enterprise
he formed his warmest and most en-
during friendships. Toward many of
these he retained to the end Of his
life feelings of the most cordial friend
ship and grateful remembi nnce.
/ The sharp financial crisis Of 1893
crippled his resources. and Mt the same
time the field OF carriage manufactur-
ing in the United States was rapidly
becoming less inviting. After disas-
trous year he concentrated his
strength on the development OF a
branch factory which he. in connection
with others. had established In Can
ada. Buying out the other interests,
he soon made himself felt In the busi-
ness across the border, building up
what remains to-day as the largest in
dustry Of Is kind In the Dominion OF
Canada. He was thus enabled to meet
his former obligations with strict Jus
tice and to some extent TO re-estab-
lsh his fortune. a stroke OF paralysis
five years ago incapacitated him for
active business, practically ending a
career typically American and charac-
tcrized by great saGacity. tireless en-
ergy and spotless integrity.
He retired to this city where ne pur.
cha sed home and spent his last days
In cheerful comfort, but In an enforce
and unaccustomed inactivity, which he
keenly felt. Here he became affiliated
with the College Street Church, and was

DIVIDED POWER.
Democratic Governor and Republican
Legislature in Connecticut.

Hartford, Conn.,, Dec. 25.-When the
General Assembly convenes here on
Jan. 4, the state will have for the first
time in IS years Democratic COVER
nor, a former justice of the supreme
court, Simeon F.. Baldwin. while the
Legislature and the Senate will be Re
publican, both by good margins.
During the first two weeks interest
will center in the selection of a United
States senator to succeed Senator Nor
gan G. Buckley, who succeeded the late
Senator Joseph r. Hawley in 1905
Senator Bulkley, who is a candidate
to succeed himself, is opposed by For
mer Governor George P. Mclean and
the count is expected to be close one.
Among the acts which it is expected
the incoming General Assembly will
seek to put through will be a public
utilities bill, and a workmen's COM
pensation bill, these two forming a
greater part of the Republican plat
form at the recent election.
Interest also centers in the admin
istration of Governor Baldwin for
many reasons, one of which is due to
the fact that Former President Roose-
welt during the campaign said that he
was retogressive. 1t is expected that
Senator Joseph Alsop of the 9Th Dis
trict, a nephew of Col. Roosevelt, will
be President Pro Tenn of the Senate.
