Friends Relieved His Financial Dis
tress, but It Was Messages Of
Confidence That Kept Him
in Public Life.

One of the well-known incidents in
the career of William Mckinley was
his financial failure during his first
term as governor of Ohio. Out of the
difficulties Of that disaster he was
helped by his friends; and how his
friends fiocked to his assistance, and
what was the thing that really kept
Mckinley in public life at this time,
when he was seriously thinking Of re-
firing under the burden Of his per-
sonal misfortune. are made plain on
the authority of e. Prentiss Bailey,
the veteran newspaper proprietor and
editor of Utica, N K, who now holds
the record for the longest consecu-
tive service in the Office of any one
daily newspaper in the United States.
For years Mr.. Bailey has enjoyed the
confidence of leading men OF both
great political parties.
One day in 1893. when was dining
at my hotel in New York city" said
Mr.. Bailey, there walked into the
room and sat down at my table my
old friend, H. H. Kohlsaat of Chicago,
then part owner of the Inter-Oeean of
that city We were in the midst of
breakfast and the morning newspapers
when, suddenly, Mr.. Kohlsaat threw
down the paper over which he had
been glancing, exclaiming as he did SO:
This is dreadful news-dreadfull
Then, though he was so excited
that he could hardly speak, Mr.. Kohl
saat told me that he had just read
dispatch from Columbus, Ohio, which
reported that Governor William Nc
Kinley was bankrupt-that his own
fortune was lost and that OF his wife
had been greatly impaired-and that
the governor had decided to give up
public life and to turn everything that
he possessed over to his creditors.
No man who knows William Nc
Kfnley as do can have the slightest
doubt that if financial ruin has come
upon him he has not been himself re-
sponsible for it, declared Mr.. Kohl
saat, adding, His friends must now
come to his support"
with that, Mr.. Kohlsaat rose from
The table and left the room. After
while he returned and explained that
he had Just telegraphed his sympathy
to Mckinley and told him that one
half of all l have in the world is
yours. yours in whatever way may best
serve you in this great emergency
Mr.. Kohlsaat was still greatly agi-
tated. and without -esuming his
breakfast, shortly excused himself and
went away.
The next time I saw him--a few
years Iater-he told me of McKinley's
experience Immediately following the
Wauwatosa news. [volume] (Wauwatosa, Wis.) 1900-1948, 1911-09-08
Came to McKinley's Aid

publication of the news that he had
lost his fortune. kilograms by the
hundred poured in upon the governor.
Many came from Democrats who were
his bitter political enemies; many 9TH
ers were sent by persons with whose
names Mckinley was not familiar;
and and all offered financial assist
ance, almost every one urged him not
to give up public life, and every one
of the dispatches-and the letters that
soon began to flow in assured him
that he stood high in the estimation
of the American people, and that his
misfortune would speedily make that
fact apparent to him.
Several men of financial ability. as
is well known, undertook the manage
ment of McKinley's affairs and financed
him out of his embarrassment. I'm
doubtedly, many persons believe that
it was the action of these men that
persuaded Mckinley to remain in pub
lie life. But it was not, and | have
Mr.. Kohlsaat's word for it. 1t was,
rather, the many messages Of conf
dence that came from all parts of the
country that persuaded Mckinley that
it was his duty to remain in public
life as long as the people wished him
to continue there After these mes
sages had poured in upon him, and he
had had time to realize what they
meant, he felt that he could not justly
resist those touching evidences of
widespread confidence in his personal
integrity"

Prof. Elias Loonis of Yale Made
More Than 100000 by Writ
Ing Textbooks Which Had
Great Sale.

One of the largest, If not actually
the largest, bequest made to any
American university by an officer of
the university was the estate which
by his viii Prof. Elias Loomis, who
died in 1889, bequeathed to Yale Uni
versity.
Professor Loomis was an eccentric
and yet very greatly respected mem
Der OF the Yale faculty for more than
a generation. There is no alumnus
of Yale whose degree was received
between the early sixties and the late
eighties who does not recall affection
ately and yet with slight smile Of
humorous recollection this quaint and
eccentric professor vastly learned in
natural philosophy. mathematics and
especially astronomy. Among men of
science the world over Professor
Loomfs ranked with Dan, the great
geologist: Hadley, the Greek scholar
and father of Arthur Hadley. presi-
dent at this time of Yale; and SILL
man. one of the worlds great author
tiles upon chemistry. The United
States government recognized Profes-
sor LOOMS as the foremost meteor
ologist of the United States, and
when the government established its
first weather bureau this was not
done until after consultation with
Professor Loomis.
Professor Loomis was a man of
singular taciturnity. If he could ex-
press his thought in a single word.
he would do that. Moreover, he led
almost a hermit's life. The world of
Yale University saw nothing of him
except at chapel. at Sunday services,
and in the lecture room. After lee
lures were ended or the recitations
brought to a close, Professor Loomis
would depart quietly, always unac-
companied, from the lecture room,
crossing New Haven green to his lodg-
ing room, which faced the green. He
always wore conspicuous black and
white checked necktie, gathered into
a bow knot of mathematical accur-
acy; his linen was immaculate.
Within the time specified by stat
ute after the death of Professor
Loomis his will was offered for pro-
bate. 1t contained only two requests.
and one Of these was a partial one
He bequeathed his entire estate to

sion Of the college, in the other half
his sons were to have a life interest,
the income from it being divided be-
tween them, and after that interest
lapsed, the entire estate was to go to
Yale for the purpose of establishing
as great and fully equipped an as
Economical observatory as the amount
of the estate would permit.
Every one around Yale gasped
when he learned the provisions of the
will Had this quiet professor, who
had led lonely life, been able to
save out Of his salary sum as great
as twenty-five thousand dollars? That
was the estimate of the value of the
estate commonly made from the ma
ture of the bequest. But when the
estate was inventoried and the admin
istrators made their reports to the
probate court, most amazing state
of affairs was disclosed. The quiet
professor had amassed not $4,000,
but fortune a little in excess of
100000; his investments had been
made with wisdom, most of them
were what are called quick assets.
And one after another of his old fac
ulty associates went about asking how
had it been possible for Professor

Thackeray's Mistakes.

Thackeray probably wrote the pref
test and most legible hand of any
distinguished author; a commentator
on the MSS, shown at the Thackeray
exhibition describes it as being "as
free from reproach as his English"
But the master of the easiest and
most flexible style in English fiction
occasionally made careless and irri-
tating slips. He wrote different to,
