The application of the term "luck' has
been extended to such great degree that
in many cases it is incorrectly used.
While it is true that many instances of
good or bad fortune can only be ascribed
to ''luck' as the finding of purse
or the loss Of an arm by accident-the term
cannot be used in cases where some one has
had financial circumstances or position
changed by application, education, ability
as well as other factors.

John A. Stewart Came to the Rescue
When New York Bankers Hesitat-
ed to Take Bonds Issued in
Cleveland Administration.

Inc late John G. Carlisle, as secre-
tary OF tie treasury during President
CleVeland's second administration, was
several times more or less at odds
with the New York bankers. That his
relations with them were sometimes
strained was not either his fault or
thelrs. 1t was the inevitable result
OF the extraordinary financial condi-
lions OF the time, which he saw from
one point OF view and they from anoth-
er.
MI. Carltsle's task was trying far be-
yond the ordinary duties of the head of
the treasury department. He had
been at the head of the department
only few months when the great cur
rency panic of 1893 occurred, and dur
ing the greater part of his administra-
ton, panic conditions, which were the
result of a reaction from a period Of
oVerexpansion and the steady with
drawal of gold from the federal treas
ury, continued. Mr.. Carlisle's chief
task wal to maintain the gold reserve
in the treasury, which was constantly
being depleted by the so-called endless
chain process, which was merely the
use of greenbacks over and over
again. The exhaustion OF the gold re-
serve meant that the government
would lapse to a silver basis That
was narrowly averted in 1895 by the
formation of the Morgan-Belmont syn
dictate, which sold to the government
the gold it needed, and guaranteed to
stop the expectation OF the yellow met
al
Before that syndicate was organized,
however, the government borrowed on
two occasions $50000.000 for the pur-
pose of replenishing the gold reserve.
The secretary of the treasury had to
negotiate the sale of the bonds for the
gold in Wall street He had very de-
cided views as to what the bankers
ought to 90 in connection with the
loans, and he made those views plain.
With him it was question Of helping
cut the government. The bankers, as
business men, also had their views
as to what they ought to do, and they
thought those views were entitled to
consideration. Mr. Carlisle succeeded
in disposing of the first lot of bonds,
nevertheless, but the negotiations left

He Saved Uncle Sans Credit

in their wake a certain amount of irri-
tation. Some of the bankers were dis
posed to think that the secretary had
been unduly dictatorial in his attitude
toward them.
When the second sale of $50,000,00O
of bonds was authorized. the effect Of
the previous negotiations was discern
able. Many of the bankers showed a
lack of interest. 1t seemed likely that
they would ignore the secretary when
he came to seek their participation in
taking up the new issue.
1t seemed very likely to one man in
particular, and that man was John A.
Stewart, the president of the United
States Trust company. The more he
thought about it, the less he liked it.
He sat up the best part of one night
thinking about it.
1T would be national calamity If
there should not be a general and
hearty response on the part of the
bankers to this new offering of bonds, -
he said to himself. 81 will do what
can. personally, to make the bond
sale a success"

personally or by phone with all the

During the Great Panic of 1893 He
Would Have Been Utterly Ruined
if Clearing House Certificates
Had Not Been Issued.

One Sunday afternoon in the mid
die of the summer of 1893, the late
Frederick D. Tappan. then president
of the Gallatin National bank of New
York city. and chairman of the New
York Clearing House association, re-
ceived at his country place in the
Berkshire Hills, where he was spend
ing the weekend, a telegram from
some of the prominent New York
bankers associated with the clearing
house urging him to come to New
York with all possible haste.
The great panic which marked the
first year of President Cleveland's
height The treasury of the United
States was being drained of gold by
the operation of the so-called endless
chain Money had sought cover, and
borrowers were unable to get accom-
mediation even when they had gilt
edged collateral to put up as security
Everywhere there was a mad passion
to convert property into gold and
hoard it. Men with obligations to
meet in cash were in extremities, and
It had finally come to be believed that
only the issuance Of clearing house
certificates could relieve the strain
and prevent an appalling financial
crash. The situation had become
strained to the breaking point when
that message was sent to Mr.. Tappan,
and he took the late afternoon train
for New York.
'T arrived in New York early Sun
Iay evening and went directly to my
house." Mr.. Tappan said, when relat-
ing this incident to me sometime aft
erwards. 81 had been there only
few minutes when the door bell rang.

offish or lukewarm.
Il don't know what you are thinking
of doing with reference to this new
bond ISSUE" he said to them" but it
seems to me that there is just one con-
sideration that ought to govern our
action in this case and that is pa

ought to ignore any such feelings. and

In every instance the f1nanciers to
whom Mr.. Stewart thus appealed re-
sponded favorably. The banks and
private bankers each took the allotted
proportion of the $50.000,000 loan. and
by the next day the gold was in the
sub-treasury, and the government had
escaped lapsing to silver basis. which
Mr.. Carlisle had said would be newt
able unless gold was instantly Sc

Crisis For Two Great Railroads

ly, the New Haven e Northampton
railroad-owed the name by which it
was popularity known to the fact that
it followed the line of the old New
Haven and Northampton (Mass.) ca
nal. Of itself of minor Importance.
the Canal railroad became Of great
strategic value as link in the project
ed Boston & Albany through line to
New York. Connecting with the Bos-
ton & Albany at Westfeld, Mass, it
would serve to extend the Boston &c
Albany to New Haven. Thus. the COM
pletion of a through line to New York
from Boston would involve the con-
struction of only about 70 miles OF
new railroad. paralleling the New
Haven road between New Haven and
New York
In the latter part of 1880 and the
early months of 1881 purchases OF
New Haven & Northampton stock
were made in the open market for the
Boston & Albany interests. The stock
was the selling at from about so to so.
A few years previously it had sold as
low as IS. The road had not been
paying dividends regularly. but only
little before this dividend of four per
cent. had been declared
There were some vague rumors
about these purchases. but they caused
the directors of the New Haven no
alarm. 1t is understood that a para
graph which appeared about March,
1891, in a paper published in Spring
field, Mass, President Bliss's home,
first aroused the New Haven peoples
suspicious. The writer of the para
graph appeared to have inside infor-
nation. and the directors of the New
Haven by some cautious inquiries
quickly convinced themselves as to
what Boston & Albany interests had
in view.
The discovery gave them big
fright. For years they had been
haunted by the bugaboo of a parallel
railroad between New Haven and New
York. and here it was about to be
materialized as a part of a new
through line from New York to Bos-
ton.
There were some hurried consuIta-
tions, and then some of the New
Haven directors went to see Mr.. Shelf.
field Mr.. Sheffield, who was then
man of advanced age, owned about
one-half of the $2,46O,O0O of the capt.
tai stock of the New Haven & North
ampton railroad.
will you sell your Canal railroad
stock?" his callers asked.
Yes, as my figure"
What is that?"
Par value. one hundred dollars a
share"
VERY we'll We will buy it now"
A few days later, to the great as
constituent of President Bliss and the
Boston & Albany interests, which had
been dickering with Mr.. Sheffield for
his holding. the stockholders of the
directors. majority of whom were
identified with the New Haven sys-
TEN: and the majority of the stock
was voted by a capitalist who. as
trustee for the New Haven, had bought
from Mr. Sheffield, at the latter's own
terms. a controlling interest in the
Canal road at cost of $1,229.S0
This was the turning point in the
history of these two roads. Today the
New Haven practically controls all
New England transportation. while the
Boston G. Albany has lapsed into the
condition of leased railroad. and is
now indirectly part of the general New
Haven railroad family.
