The Hartford Times says that "onc
Of the ablcst Senator'S the Democracy
ever had was Arthur p. German, OF
Maryland" and 1t only hopes that his
near namesake, Senator O'Gornan, of
New York VIII prove to be as able
as the almost forgotten statesman
from Maryland While Senator Cor
man was alive he was under almost
constant fire from the timber jacks of
his own party and from the opposi-
ton, of course. We did not like some
things he did We thought he was
not quite as loyal to the Democratic
administration when Mr. Cleveland
was in Office as he should have been,
but VIC never had the least doubt
OF the integrity of his purposes or the
strength of his convictions II he
had succeeded only in the defeat OF
the force Bill legislation, which he
did, ne would deserve TO be held in
everlasting remembrance by the people
Of the South. We did not like his posi-
times severely for his apparent dtspo-
sition to make too much OF the ma :
chine, hut we never doubted his cour-
age or sincerity We might very well
wish for Senator OGorman, of New
York, the same degree of loyal SER
vice TO the Democratic party and to
the country that was rendered BY the

Young Gates Very Much Like

Has Already Shown the "Punging
Spirit' en- a Small Scae-Some
of His Gscapades in the
Field of Chance.

New York-Like his late father. but
necessarily on smaller scale. Charles
e. Gates has been known tor several
years as a spender. Now, with up
ward OF $50 100000 in his control, will
he prove to be spender to an extent
proportionate to the reputation he has
gained as an embryo. or as the son
OF John w Gates?"
Several transactions in which young
Gates has figured and which may be
regarded as significant are recalled
here While they perhaps no more
than verge on the sensational. they
disclose, it is pointed out, character
that in time may develop true bet
you-a-million" proclivities
1t is recalled that in 1901 Charles
Gates decided he wanted a seat on the
New York stock exchange. and to get
ord price paid for a seat up to that
time.
On one occasion John w Gates
went to Texas on a shooting trip and
left his son in charge of his Wall
street brokerage Office One day the
latter went out before the books
closed on Colorado Fuel & Iron. Dor
rowed about 10000 shares and had it
transferred into his own name After
the books closed he returned the GER
tificates, but gave proxies on them to
Mr.. Hartman.
BY strange coincidence, George J..
Gould owned all of this stock. He had
what would happen to it When Mr..
Gould saw the clever move made by
young Gates-for the Colorado Fuel
war had just begun. and such moves
counted-he let Hartman go ahead

"My trouble started with pimple on

being business woman, it was dread

Then l saw the Cuticura Soap and

counting the stock until the next day
when young Gates was overwhelmed
by having served on him legal papers
by the numerous brokers from whom
he had borrowed the stock, ordering
him TO send the proxies on it to them
and telling him that If he attempted
to vote it at the Denver meeting they
would bring suit for damages. Gates
had run head on into the law and had
to back out
When John w. Gates was in his
prime he was a familiar figure and a
heavy plunger at the race tracks. So
was his son. The latter's best record
OF winnings was made at Los Angeles,
when he took $4,000 from the Santa
Anita bookmakers Returning to the
city en- the last day of the meeting.
young Gates much elated, paid $500
for a dog worth $50 He then gave It
to the cashier OF the Alexandria hotel.
Next he procured $50 puppy. but,
meeting young woman who liked the
animal, pup No. vanished in oblivion.
Then the young plunger found hand
some bulldog and parted with So, 500.
but kept the animal.
Charlie" Gates has also taken oc-
casional filings at roulette and faro and
fortune usually changed hands one
way or the other. One night, after a
banquet on Broadway. he fell In with
Arnold Rothstein and William Shea,
both notorious gamblers. and spent
the night at their place of business.
In the morning Rothstein accom-
panied the young plunger to his bank.
where Rothstein cashed a check for
$4,000 which Gates had written. at
daylight,
If the father was possessed OF a
whole-souled sense of humor. so is the
son, and 1t has been amply evidenced
several times. Again big sums were
always involved, at least in the stories
that found their way to the public
print.
The following is sample:
Turn me trick In the market, will
you? | need the money badly"
This request came over the teIe-
phone to young Gates one morning.
Mr. Gates Immediately bought 200
shares of Louisville & Nashville. In
less than an hour the stock had been
sold at two points profit.
i've got $500 for you," shouted
Gates over the telephone How do
you want it. cashiers check"
The clerk. who thought Mr. Gates
was joking, replied: "Oh. send it over
in pennies"
Two strong porters were dispatched
to the sub-treasury. 10000 new pen
MES were procured and delivered to
the amazed customer in a bushel bas-
ket
