VTTHEN Philadelphia started to regain lts
w commerce and was doing larger manu-
featuring business than any other city IN the
country, in the early SOS, the business men
on Market street began to demand the
removal of the market sheds. They might
be convenient. but they did not believe 1t.
They declared business demanded that the
main business thoroughfare should present
a better appearance, now that the city had
become metropolis by the consolidation OF
all political parts of the county
Accompanying this agitation for the re-
moval of the sheds was a movement for the
erection of market houses in the central part
of the city. A good many business men,
probably to assist in the removal OF the
sheds more than from any idea that the
investment would prove profitable, took
shares in numerous market companies that
were started. For few years there was
a vertable craze for erecting market houses.
Other sections of the city became noculated
with the spirit, and market houses arose in
virtually all of the popuous centres. Some
of the speculatons proved failures, or at
least enjoyed little success, but some of them
are still in being.

PASSED BY THE CENSOR

~ YOU, Of the Philadelphia district, who Is
brother of George b. Cortelyou, once a
newspaperman but now descended to mere
fnancter, is a busy man. Cranks, black
mailers and black handlers are his special
forte He has saved hundreds of people
from the clutches of defrauders, and incl
dentally, has helped solve a few mysteries
of which the newspapers know nothing even
to this day
Not so long ago members of the Cabinet,
Senators, Congressman, Governors, Mayors
and others in public office were deluged with
letters evidently emanating from an unbal-
anced brain. The writer must have spent
all his waking moments indting the mis-
sives, for there were busy days when indi-
vidual office holders received as many as six
and seven each. Cortelyou was put the
case and the hunt began. Suspicion soon
narrowed down to George Washington Katz-
enmuller a Pennsylvania. Cortelyou and
aide called on the man. His room was
werdly decorated with newspaper clippings,
playing cards, picture postas and odds and
ends
Katzenmuller admitted his identity, but
insisted on being called George Washington
Katzenmuller' every time addressed. He
confessed sending the letters but argued that
they contained no threats and were SIM
ply advisory the postal authorities had no
right to interfere. Knowing him to be in
the right Cortelyou tried moral suasion.
81 know that you have the right to advise
the settling of differences between capital
and labor by making both eat indigestihle
pie, as you wrote, thus killing off both sdes,'
said Cortelyou, but don't YOU see men in Of
flee seldom get letters from strangers, their
mail being intercepted by secretaries. So
why not send the letters to me and l will
forward them"
For year, until Kataenmuller was sent
to an asylum, Cortelyou was swamped daily
by his letters

of the Common Council are filled with refer-

1904 until the Revolution passed without more

In those days the city fathers did not have
authority to create loans and sell bonds for
municipal improvements. When they desired
to extend the market sheds another square

who had civic pride enough to advance the
necessary money. There was some income
from rent of stalls, from wharfage and a rev
