 The career of Thomas Fortune Ryan was a TO- nance of American business, told in the terms of an epoch that has passed away Born in Virginia in 1851, MT Ryan retired from active business twenty years ago, spending thereafter much of his time quietly in his native State Before the war his had been name of power in Wall Street. Less active since, he was still heavy investor in many forms of corporate property
 MT Ryan is best remembered, perhaps, for his share in the development and handling of public service corporations chiefly transit and lighting. in New York and elsewhere. But he was heavy owner of coal and iron and railway shares he had interests in South America: in the Congo he was described a partner of the King of Belgium having important rubber and diamond-mine concessions in Belgian territory.
 MT Ryan long took active part in pol itics. His alliance with Charles F. Murphy of Tammany Hall in opposing the nomination of Woodrow Wilson in Baltimore in 1912 is we'll remembered. Seven years earlier MT. Ryan had stood in the spotlight the purchaser from James Hagen Hyde of 501 shares of the Equitable Life Assurance Society after the memorable ex- posture of it's mismanagement. He placed the shares under the trusteeship of Grover Cleveland, Morgan J. O'Bren and George Nesting He was soon induced to sell his control to the late J. Pierpont Morgan, who continued the trustee ship after MT. Cleveland's death by naming Judge O'Brien Lewis Cass Ledyard and G. w. Perkins. From his brief control of the society Mir Ryan derived no personal profit or advantage.
 In the field of business Mr Ryan was dis tinguished by wide vision and native shrewd- ness. His most active closed before the new conception of big business as affected with a public interest had made much headway against hablt and conservatism. He belonged to the time and shared the views and fortunes of men like Anthony Brady, William c. Whitney and William |, Elkins They were men who made financial history.

GREAT LAWYER IS DEAD.

Jacob M Dickinson recently dead who was chief counsel for the United States in the Alaskan boundary arbitration and who served as seere- tary of War in the Cabinet Of President Taft, notwithstanding that he was by inheritance and conviction a stanch Jenersonian Democrat how belt he could never stand Bryan, of the really great lawyers and characters of his time. He was profoundly learned both in the law and as an all-round scholar He orator of high attanments, and regarded in Europe in America At that, he was always afraid of himself as a speaker unless he had been thor oughly prepared but never failed to distinguish himself when speaking extemporaneously.
 When he appeared before the grave and peri wgged Lord Justices of Britain who made up the Alaskan Boundary Commission, which heard the dispute the interpretation of the Alaskan boundary treaty, he was caught unprepared to make the closing argument for the United States.
 Opposing counsel rested their suddenly and compelled Dickinson to begin his summing up wth little of the preparation he had planned on. He rose and turned to his adversaries. ainging at them a remark which he credited to Confederate soldier at Chickamauga, addressing rabbit:
 Run eottontaill If l didn't have char acter at stake than you, I'd run tool"
 Comprising his dnidence to that of the chickamauga soldier he made argument of which Lord Alyerstone, member Of the tribunal, said at the conclusion: Tt will not suffer by comparison with those that preceded it in this or any other arbitration"
 The decision in the case was favorable to the United States
 When Dickinson Secretary of War. found personal matters calling him back to private life he offered to defer his resignation until Mexican affairs cleared up, but President Taft told him that there crisis which need bind him to public affairs.
 Dickinson believed in education and tolerance He recalled in address late in life that Thomas Jefferson, in preparing his own epitaph passed over his administration President and identified himself author of the Declaration Of Inde pendence, of the statute establishing religious lb berty in Virginia, and founder of the Uni versty of Virginia
 In his later years Dickinson often criticised what he termed a reyersion to medieval spirit of intolerance in America particularly in religious matters. He showed his tolerance by his long labors in the Sunday Evening Club denominationa religious organization of Chicago, which he served treasurer

A STRANGE CASE.

One of the strangest things to crop up of late is the announcement Of the Democratic National Treasurer, former Ambassador Gerard, that a month after the late disastrous election, con- tributons were being received at rate of about ieo day, and the receipts in one month after the election amounted to $5O0.000. All pills had been paid and $100000 applied on the notes, held by the New York County Trust Com pany, with more funds hand available for that purpose. If things continue in the manner they are going the deficit will soon disappear This is not a customary way for Democrats to behave.
