How MarshaI Rhyndert, Violent Pro-
/, Slavery Democrat, Cult Catching
Fugitive slaves to Show His
Gratitude 20 Mr.. Seward.

Recently ] told Of the chance that

Williams Lloyd Garrison and Isaiah
Rhynders. whose name. though now
forgotten. was almost as well known
In ante-bellum days AZ that Of the
great abolitionist leader. During the
period Of abolition agitation Rhynders
personified to large part Of the north
the pro-slavery Democracy Of that
section Of the country. He was. In
fact. one OF the most radical pro-slav-
cry Democrats in all the north. and
as United States marshal for the
southern district OF New York. to
which ONCE he was first appointed by
President Pierce. he earned the I'M
mitigated hatred Of all aboiiticnists
and great many other persons By
the vigor he displayed from 1858 to
1857 in apprehending fugitive slaves
and returning them to their owners.
But, 10 and behold when Marshal Rhyn-
ders was reappointed by President
Buchanan, from that time on until
he quit the post Of marshal at the
end Of Buchanan's term never pur.
sued or tried to arrest a fugitive
slave, and great was the wonder there

James Il. Rutter's simple Kindness
to Sidney Dillon Repaid In Way
That Relieved Him From
Financial Stress.

When William H. Vanderbilt, son
OF the Commodore. resigned the pres
idency Of the New York Central rail-
road In order to become chairman Of
the board Of directors. he was sue
ceeded as president by James Fl. Rut-
ter. Mr.. Rutter began his career as
2 railroad employee as station and
freight agent at little town upon the
Erie railroad. He was promoted rap
idly and at last became an assistant
freight traffic manager In the main OF.
ices Of the Erie at Pavonia, near Jer-
sey City. A few years later Mr.. Rut-
ter became general freight manager
under Commodore Vanderbilt and
gained national reputation as rail-
way mana reputation, In fact, as one
Of the most successful railway man
ayers Of his day. HiS ability always to
mind his own business, and not to
interfere with anybody else's business,
ne once said. had helped greatly to
win him success. But there was an
other reason for his success. and that
was his kindness Of heart, his ANA
hility and consideration for others.
even for the humblest Of his employees.
And It was this trait which brought
to Mr.. Rutter unexpected and much
needed assistance In q financial crisis
OF his career.
When Commodore Vanderbilt tempt
ed Mr.. Rutter away from, his service
with the Erie railroad ard made him
freight traffic manager OF the New
York Central. Mr.. Rutter thought be
could afford to buy house In New
York city. and he did purchase mod.
est dwelling within convenient reach Of
the Grand Central station, paying some
cash and giving purchase money
mortgage for the balance OF the pur-
chase price
After be had owned the house about
three years there came hard times. Mr..
Rutter was pressed for the payment
Of the mortgage. He did not have the
money, nor did he know where to turn
to procure It. He was In despair. since
he had been informed that foreclos-
ure proceedings would be begun upon
q certain day.
On the morning Of that day Mr.. Rut.
ter happened to meet while on his
way from his house to his ONCE q
railway magnate Of much, influence
and large wealth, the late Sidney Dill
Ion, who was director Of the Union
Pacific when the government was In

The Way They Do In Utah

The extent to which army methods Of medical
prophylaxis may be drawn upon to instruct the
civilian population In matters Of public health is
shown in the decision Of the city OF Salt Lake,
Utah, to begin the use of typhoid vaccination in
an effort to put an end to the typhoid that has
ravaged the city for years. says the Army and
Navy Journal. Attempts to trace the cause of the
epidemics have been unsuccessful and the demon
stration by the army OF the success Of vaccina-
ton has spurred the municipal health authorities
to action. Attention to the vaccine was drawn by
the visit OF the troops now at Fort Douglas to
San Antonio None of the soldiers from Salt Lake
was affected with the disease while they were
away. sN&

are levied on number Of articles, in
Guiding tea, cocoa, coffee and sugar.
These duties are imposed for revenue
purposes only. but in the case of cocoa.

Of the present fiscal system. are largely
owned by millionaire cocoa manufact-
urers, giving the tariff reformers an op-
portunity for saying that they practise
protection while preaching free trade.
The confectionery and jam trades are
clamorins for the abolition OF the sugar
tax. and the wholesale dealers in tea
are accumulating stocks in bond in ex-
peCtation Of a reduction Of the tea duty.
