jectors of a railroad which was to
cross New Jersey from Camden to a
point opposite staten Island in New
York harbor bought in Great Britain
locomotive and shipped it to Cam
den. Everybody was interested. and
among them was Mr.. Baldwin. He
went to Camden to look at this loco
motive. He became fascinated with
it, He studied it in every detail. He
believed that he had found an oppor-
tunity TO make good the loss of his
jewelry manufacturing business.
Il was told" continued Mr.. Laying,
that Mr.. Baldwin actually made a
model OF this English locomotive,
which was exhibited as a curiosity in
Philadelphia.
in the course of a year or two Mr..
Baldwins study of this locomotive
inspired him with desire to i'm
prove upon It. He was only a few
months in perfecting an invention
which put an end to the rightly of
the English locor- olive. That rigid
ity was a curious effect. at least for
American railroads, which were being
built in many shops here. Mr.. Bald
win determined to work out an idea
by which this rigidity could be elm
mated and railroad engines could be
so constructed as to take with ease
any curve. He did this and his inven-
ton resulted in the very rapid de-
velopment of American railroads
Without that invention it would have
been impossible TO haul trains on
American railways of more than two
cars.
MIR. Baldwin's invention gave him
a national reputation and ultimately
brought him great wealth, yet if it
had not been for the drastic change
in the jewelry manufacturing and
diamond business he would in all
probability remained all his life a
manufacturer and designer of jew
elry."

a saw the test made and | realized
that the most important investment
applicable to railroad equipment that
had been made in many years had
been perfected by this young man.
In the evening of the day after the
test / was thinking this matter over
when it occurred to me that only
little while before the man who had
made the great advance in railway
nperation possible had just died. His
name was Matthias w. Baldwin. /
met Mr.. Baldwin occasionally in the
last years of his life and once
asked him if it were true that ne
began his business career as a de-
signer and manufacturer of jewelry
HE told me that had been cor
rectly informed and he added that
one of the best forms of mental rec
reation for him. even up to that time,
was the taking of the works of a
watch to pieces and reassembling
them. and also designing, wholly for
his own entertainment, new forms
for jewelry.
Il afterward happened to speak OF
win. and he told me an extraordinar-
ily interesting story. The history of
railroad development in the United
states contains many Incidents to
show by what narrow chance or hap
DIV accident the leaders in railway
development in the early years were
diverted from other vocations to those
associated with railway management
1T seems. according to the nara
tive of my friend. that Mr.. Baldwin,
in the early years of the past cen
fury. gained a great reputation as
designer and manufactures of jew
elry. He was easily at the head of all
Americans engaged in this industry
His workmanship gave Philadelphia
a prominence as a centre for high
grade jewelry manufacture
For some reason or other there
came a great falling off in the de-
mand for jewelry. The business was
practically destroyed by reason OF
this. Just about that time the pro-

Astrologers declare that, despite
superstitions attaching to this day of
the week and month. the influences
are not altogether unlucky, since
Saturn is friendly in the early morn
ing and the sun and moon are in
favorable aspect late at night.
Business and professional men are
under unfavorable rule. There is not
a lucky omen for any person who
deals in large interests or directs i'm
portant affairs. Hence, conservative
action is counseled.
Brokers, SPECTATORS and promoters

Fanny Burney was born on June Is,
1852. in Kings Lynn, Norfolk. Eng
land, the daughter of Charles Burney.
a musical composer of considerable
| note. When she was years old the
Burney family moved to London.
Here Burney gave musicals. at which
the fashionable folk of London used
to gather. Fanny, being a bright, OBJ
serving girl, though not a part of
these brilliant gatherings, watched
from without and stored her mind full
of incident and color. The result Of
this was "Evelina. book which, met
with amazing success and was soon
the talk of London.
There was long an opinion that
Miss Burney was only seventeen at
the time of the publication of this
masterpiece-and Miss Burney did not
correct the impression. However,
some too-inquisitive editor, thinking
it unbelievable that so young maid
could have so much wisdom as was
displayed in this book, betook himself
to the birthplace of Fanny Burney,
Kings Lynn, and sought through the
records. There he discovered the true
birth date of the young novelist,
which revealed the fact that she was
