THE Board disallowed the claim
OF Drs. Trueblood and Pollock for

"'Well, said my father, it makes
all the difference in the world who
the parties are. I might sell the
Times for five million dollars to a
man who l know would maintain its
good reputation; but, for example,
will say to you that l would not sell
the Times to Boss Tweed or any of
his gang if I were to be offered ten
times five million
why not?' the lawyer asked.
Because, said my father, If /
were to take any money from Tweed
or his ring then 1 would become a
participation in their iniquities and
the Times would receive it's share of
their stealings; and so / think l have
said to you, gentlemen, all that is
necessary to say in order that you
may inform those whom you repre-
sent that the Times newspaper is not
for sale to them at any price.
"A day or two later" continued the
son, "the Times published its first ex-
posture of the Tweed ring, and from
then on until Tweed and his gang
were driven out of public life and

fight against them"

Former Manager of the New York
Clearing House Had Consuming
Ambition to Find One Days
a Exchanges Exactly Balance.

One of the most famous managers
In the history of the worlds largest
clearing house association-that of
New York city-was the late William
A. Camp. He held that position for
nearly quarter of a century, and in
that time he carried the clearing
house through two famous panics-
those of 1873 and 1893-and several
lesser financial disturbances No
financial history of the country OF the
period from 1870 to 1894 would be
complete without paying considerable
attention to the activities of Mr.. Camp
as manager of the New York Clear
ing House association and the work of
that institution under his manage
ment
Recently I told of the fmprovised
institution of research which Mr..
Camp, as manager of the clearing
house, conducted to test the minds
ability to count without external aid.
Mr.. Camp was man of delightful
Whlms, and this was one of them
But there was yet another within
Ii.
1t became, in fact, the great consum-
ing ambition of his life as manager
of the clearing house.
This institution" he said to me
one day, lis established for the pur-
pose of making it possible to ex-
change easily the checks and drafts
which the banks that are members of
the association have received upon de-
post or which are drawn against
these banks. Every bank comes here
at certain hour of the day with
checks or drafts, which they call
items that have been received upon
deposit within "a hours. Then the
clerks go around presenting the
drafts to representatives of each
bank. In that way the exchanges are
effected, for every bank is credited
with the drafts which it has present
ed OF collection and is charged with
the TENS presented to for collec-
ton Then, if there be any balance,
the bank must pay it in to the clear
ing house, which settles with each
bank. With this explanation in mind.
you will understand the nature of the
wish which has been with me every
day when the Clearing House asso-
citation opens.
1T occurred to me, l should think,
some ten years ago. that it would be
a wonderful thing if one days ex-
changes in the clearing house so ex-
actly balanced that there would be
nothing to pay over See what that
would mean. 1t would mean that all
of the sales and purchases of com

Some time later, when 1 saw Mr.
Camp after it. became known that he
was to retire from the management OF
the Clearing House association. he
said to me:

Urge Fight on All Diseases.

That the Wisconsin Anti-Tubercu-
losis association should retain it's
name, but that it should extend the
scope of its work in a campaign
against all malignant disease, includ-
ing the black plague, was the theme
of speakers on the affirmative side of
the debate on Shall the Wisconsin
Anti-Tuberculosis association broaden
its scope so as to embrace all prevent
able diseases?" in Ethical hall, Mil
waukee. The debate was held under
the joint auspices of the anti-tubercu-
losis association and the Wisconsin
Conference of Charities and Correc-
TONS
DR.. G. A Harper led for the mega
tive, and DR.. T. L. Harrington opened
for the affirmative. There was but
little disagreement, it having been the
sentiment, however, that the name
ought not be changed.
Dr. John NJ. Beffel urged that the
broader work be done through the
tuberculosis problem. But" he said
before anything strong can be done
we will have to reorganize the whole
problem of public health in Wiscon-
sin"
Or. Harrington urged that the state
board of health take up the black
plague problem and entered a plea for
instruction regarding the dangers OF
the social evil. He joined other speak
ers in criticising inefficient health
officers, of which he said there were
many.
Following are the officers elected by
the anti-tuberculosis association:
President, Prof. M. P. Ravenel Mad
ison; first vice-president, DR.. G..
