How the Failure Of Jay Cooke & Co.,
Resulted in George F. Bakers
Becoming One Of Americas
Leading Finaneiers.

This is the story of an error of heart
that made bank cashier Of yesterday
q nationally famous banker OF to-day.
The anecdOte was told me by Charles
ID. Bridgeman. who was for many
years one OF the leading men in the
insurance business in the United
States.
You know" he said. that the First
National bank of New York city was
not only the first bank in that city to
take out national charter. but it was
the first to do so In the United States.
1t was organized by John Thompson.
whose name has passed into history as
the originator of the national banking
system. After Mr. Thompson became
somewhat incapacitated by age, the
presidency OF this institution passed
to his son. At that time 1t was one
Of the more important of the fiscal
agents of the United States. Don't
you remember that when John Sherman
was secretary of the treasury. they
used to call the bank building Fort
Sherman?
We'll. the treasury department at
Washington was accustomed, through
the First National, to secure sterling
exchange upon London, with which to
pay installments of interest on gov
ernment bonds held in London. Some
times these purchases were as high as
five hundred thousand dollars. At the
time I have in mind. the government
had sent over the needed funds with
which to purchase some four thousand
of sterling exchange. and Henry Fab
nestock. the assistant cashier. think.
was on his way to the New York office
of the firm from whom sterling ex-
change was usually purchased, when
he happened to meet on Wall street a
friend of his who was one of the high
ar clerks in the banking house of Jay
Cooke & Company.
"'Where are you goingr asked this
clerk.
ITO Soand Sos. to buy sterling eX-
change was the answer.
"'Now. why don't you let our house
have some part in this businessT pro-
tested the friend. Give us a chance.
And thus appealed to Mr.. Fahnestock

OF Jay Cooke G. Company.
"A few days later came the sensa-
tional and disastrous failure of Jay

worst panics the United States has
ever had. or course. this panic affect

Stones In Ireea.

DR.. Cecil Carus.Wilson described be-
fore the Linnean Society in London
recently some singular observations
concerning the inclusion of stones In
the roots and stems of trees. Oaks
growing in a gravelpit in Kent had SO
many stones embedded in their roots
that they resisted attempts to saw
them. Some OF the roots are des.
cribed as consisting OF "a conglomer.
ate formed of fints enclosed In q
woody matrix." In one specimen 81
hints were found. the largest weigh.
ing several pounds. In Norton church.
yard near Faversham are three old
yew-trees, In two Of which filnts and
fragments OF tiles have been seen at
n height OF seven feet above the
ground. In Molash churchyard are
other yew-trees which have fiints EN-.
bedded In their trunks as much as
eight feet above the ground. The tis-
sue Of the wood appears to have grown
round the stones, which have been car.
ried upward with the growth Of the
Companion.

The Fight Against tuberculosis.

Interest in the anti-tuberculosis cam
paign now being waged throughout the
United States is evidenced by the fact
that in the year 1909 163 new anti-tu.
berculosis associations were formed,
133 tuberculosis sanatoria and hospit.
ais were established, and 81 tubercu-
losis dispensaries were opened. Com
pared with previous years, this is the
best record thus far made in the fight
against consumption in this country.
During the year 1909, 43 more asso
Citations for the prevention of tubercu
losis were formed than during the pre-
vious IL months, and 62 more hospitals
and sanatoria were established. On
January l. 1910, there were in the Uni
ted States 394 anti-tuberculosis associ-
ations, $50 hospitals and tuberculosis
sanatoria and 265 special tuberculosis
dispensaries.

dence that was superb under the cir
cumstances. Mr.. Thompson was pref
ty angry. but rather guess that he was
getting ready to retire from bank man
agement, anyway. At all events, he
accepted the proposition, even promis-
ing to remain as president for six
months, and then, when the stock was
all paid for. to retire.
Il am inclined to think that Mr.. Ba-
ker and Mr.. Fahnestock did some
scurrying around in that six months
to raise the money needed to take the
stock of Mr.. Thompson's hands. but
they did it. Then. following Mr..
Thompson's retirement. Mr.. Baker be-
came president of the First National
and Mr.. Fahnestock one of the execu-
tive officers"
1t is only necessary for me to add to
Mr. Bridgeman's recital the statement
that to-day George F. Baker, as the
dominating influence in the country's
first national bank, is one of Americas
great financial powers and a multi
millionaire in his own right.

Two modern statements of the doc.
