High school and was a student in the University of Goettingen, Germany. His father was a financier of promin- ence and it was not difficult for young Morgan to get a start in the business world. After his return from Ger- many young Morgan went into his father’s banking business. As his ex- perience in the business: grew his father wisely placed upon his should- ers more and more of the firm’s re- sponsibilities. He was sent to Lon- don as the firm’s representative and there,( in the counting room of Mor- gan & Peabody, he obtained a thor- ough grounding in the exceedingly complicated subject of foreign ex- change. When he returned to New York he again entered his father’s banking firm. From 1864 to 1871 he was a mem- ber of the firm of Dabuney, Morgan & Co., dealers in investment securities. About 1869 he attracted the attention ot the whole financial and railroad world by saving and obtaining pos- session of the Albany & Susquehanna railroad, which Gould and Fisk had tried to wreck. This was his first great success, particularly remark- able owing to the fact that in the fight he was pitted against the two greatest and most unscrupulous stock and railrcad manipulators of the country and beat them at their own game. In 1871 he becamé a member of the banking firm of Drexel, Mor- gan & Co., which later became J. P. Morgan & Co., the largest private fin- ancial institution in the world. Remarkable Banking House The history of the Morgan bauking house reads almost lite a fairy tale, so wonderful have been its achieve- ments. In 1871 Mr. Morgan created a market in Europe for $25,000,000 of New York Central stock and sold it there at a profit which amazed old Comodore Vanderbilt. In 1877 he handled an issue of $260,000,000 of government bonds in preparation for putting the national currency on a gold basis. In 1880 he provided $40,- 000,000 tor the. extension of the Northern Pacific railroad to the Paci- fic coast. In the same year he was in- strumental in the reorganization of the Reading Railroad and the Balti- more & Ohio, involving a loan - of $10,000,000. 1In 1893 the Southern railway was created out of the Rich- The MODEL Dry Cleaning House HOGANSON BROS., Props.

Two years later he put the Lehigh :Valley road on its feet and brought "about a soft-coal combination. .In 1892 he performed one of his moat remarkable feats. In company:with ‘August Belmont he undertook to and 'did maintain the gold reserve in the "federal treasury, causing the suspen- 'sion of the laws of exchange in order to accomplish the result. Floated United States Steel. Another important deal was the organizing and the floating of the securities of the United States Steel corporation, with a capital of $1,100,- 000,000. The'violent decline in the securities of the steel trust during the depression of 1903-1904 was promptly relieved by the influence of Mr. Morgan and he made it his busi- ness from that time on to prevent, as tions in that stock. The most recent financial ‘deal of great importance ‘engineered by Mr. Morgan and his associates was the purchase in November of 1909 of the controlling majority of the stock of the Equitable Life Assurance society, formerly owned by Thomas F. Ryan. Mr. Ryan bought the controlling in- terest in the company, the assets of which, according to the last state- ment issued previous to the sale, amounted to $472,000,000, from James H. Hyde, former president of the company. The acquisition of the control of the Equitdble brought the total of the capital and resources of insurance companies, banks and trust companies controlled by Mr. Morgan and his associates to the gigantic sum of nearly $1,750,000,000, made up as follows: Equitable Life As- surance society, $472,000,000; New York Life Insurance company, -$557,- 000,000; National Bank of Com- merce, $244,000,000; First National bank, $184,000,000; Guaranty Trust company; $100,000,000; - Mercantile Trust company, $75,000,000; Bquit- able Trust company, $62,000,000; Bankers Trust company, $48,000,- 000; Astor Trust company, $17,000,- 000,000. Despite a life of strenuous endeav- or Mr. Morgan found time for other things. He gave away millions in charity, but nothing perturbed him more than to have it mentioned to him. He was a devout Christian and vestryman of St. George's Episcopal church, where he could be seen every Sunday morning when at home pass- ing the silver salver for the collec- tion, Interested in Art. He took an active interest in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and possessed one of the most magnificent private galleries in the world, part of which he kept in his London mans- ion, while the smaller part adorned his palace in New York or was stored in the magnificent and thoroughly fireproof library building which he had built and which also sheltered one of the most valuable private col- lections 'of books, manuscripts, works of art, etc., to be found anywhere in the world. A deep student of medi- aeval history, he collected, without regard of cost many priceless objects of mediaeval art, missales, Bibles, clerical ornaments and ornates, em- broideries, tapestry and masterpieces of the gold and silversmiths’ art. At one time he bought a cope which had been stolen from an old church in Italy and -when the fact became known that the cope had not been the rightful property of its former pos- sessor, Mr. Morgan showed his mag- naminity by returning it to the orig- inal owners free of cost. During all his years Mr. Morgan enjoyed life to the utmost. He was kennels at Cragston were the wonder of breeders the world over. He rode and shot and angled enthusiastically, and was fond of yachting. His yacht’ Corsair was one of his favorite rec- reations. He belonged to numerous societies and clubs _in the United States and Europe. G Tt is impossible to estimate with any degree of accuracy the size of the Morgan fortune. It has been variously estimated in recent years at from $75,000,000 to $200,000,000. If it is anywhere near the latter figures, it is equally true that Mr. Morgan made as much for others. In 1861 Mr. Morgan married Miss Amelia Sturges, who died the follow- ing year. In 1865 he married Frances Louise Tracy, by whom he had one son and three daughters. The son, J, P. Morgan, Jr., is now a man of middle life, and for a number of years has been the active head of the Morgan banking house in New York.

P. Clark of Brayton, lowa, who is_a brother of H. M. Clark of this city recently made his thirteenth sale of Heresford cattle, the average price being.: $140.00 . The lot consists of forty-eight- head mostly calves. The herd was first established by H. M. Clark, of this city, eighteen years ago. The stock has been sold to farmers in various parts. of Iowa, Illinois and other surrounding states. Mr. Clark states that this herd is a specially fine breed and would be ideal stock to bring into this country. TRAINED IN HOUSEHOLD WORK Werman _ Institution Teaches Girle Domestic Service, and Finds Great Demand for Graduates. Berlin has an institution, founded about two years ago by a woman. The object of the “Sister School,” as It 18 called, is to train well-educated girls for domestic service. The stu- dents are generally daughters of pro- | fessional men, and the.-curriculum comprises cookery, housework, the care of children, and needlework. When application is made, for the ser- vices of a “sister,” the matron, or some. other woman connected Wwith the school, calls upon the applicant; forms an opinion of the “situation,” and arranges terms. Bach ‘“sister” must” be allowed a free afternoon every week, one Sunday every other week from four o'clock, and a fort- night's holiday in the year. Six | weeks' notice is required on each part. The salaries paid range from $7.50 to $12.560 a month, with, of course, board and lodging. Sisters wear a brown uniform, are treated as social equals, are not required to take meals with other servants, and are ad- dressed - as - “Sister Marle,” “Sister Hedwig,” etc. The demand for their services is so great that the head of the Sister school declares that she could place 500 girls a year, instead of 60, and similar institutions are about to be established in other German towns. MAKE WAREHOUSE OF GHURCH Sacred Edlifice at Brighton,. England Has Been Unfortunate Since Its Erection, To serve as a cold storage ware- bouse for meat and eggs—such is the fate of the beautiful Church of the Resurrection at Brighton,” England. Built at the expense of the late Rev. H. D. Wagner for the accommodation, It is said, of the poorer members of Lhe congregation, and for those who preferred a ritual simpler than that ot 8t. Paul's church on West street, this building first attracted the public at- tention'as the subject of a curious law- suit. Mr. Wagner planned to build a remarkably tall church, and the own- ers’of the adjoining - property, by means of a lawsuit, prevented him from so doing. Accordingly he caused deep excavations to be made, and thus secured the desired internal height. The Church of the Resurrec- tion proved to be a great expense and was closed in 1908, being, in the opin: jon of the present vicar of St. Paul's, no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was built. In 1909, after pro- longed opposition on the part of Rev. B. F. B. Weber, one of the_trustees, It was sold. Since then it has stood passionately fond of dogs, and his/ emPty and in disrepalr, until the gro- tesque tragedy of its present usage 00- curred.—The Churchman. Compliments of the Season. ‘Whether or not this story, sent to the London Telegraph by its Paris correspondent, is fact or invention, it has s0 delighttul a flavor of the Orient that every one will feel thl.t it ought to be true: ‘When the sultar of 'rurkey gave or- ders for the mobilization of his troops e sent the king of Bulgaria a sack of millet with the following letter: ~ “Ferdinand Effendi. Mobilize if you like, but be assured that there are as many soldiers in Turkey as there are grains of millet in' this sack. Now, if you wish, declare war.” Ferdinand’s reply was in kind. He Sent a much smaller sack, filled with tiny graine of the hottest red pepper of the covntry. With it went the fol- lowing letter: “Dear Sultan. The Bulgarians are not numerous, it is true, but be as- sured that to stick your nose into their affairs is like sticking it into our tiational condiment. Try it and see. They will sting you 80 sharply that the whole of Asia will not be able to ave you.”—Youth’s Companion. Waeaith in Musie.

ENGLISH WOMEN RUN FARMS Through Co-Operation Special Provis- lon Is Made for Them In Some Sectlons. Seventy-five ' enthusiastic = women farmers met recently at the Criterion restaurant, the occasion being the fitth annual dinner of the Women's Interna- tional union.” Mrs. Wilton Allhnsen presided. Miss Emerson maintained thut ‘wom- en have not the same facilities, capi- tal, and so forth, as men. “The remedy,” she sald, “lies in co- operation. A company has obtdined a farm at Heathfield, in Sussex, ‘and has divided it into small holdings for ‘women farmers.

At the same time they have the benefit of expert advice. The company markets all the produce, and is able to obtain better | terms than could the individual tens ents.”—London Mail. Ozone 'as a Preservative. An important improvement in the technique of.cold storage has recently been introiuced in Germany, viz., the use of-ozone: as a supplement to the ordinary process of refrigeration. In the cold storage rooms attached to slaughter houses the temperature of the air 18 liable to be raised to a seri- ous extent when the doors are left open for any reason; for instance, when meat is being put in or taken out. . The micro-organisms of putre- faction immediately become active un- der such. circumstances, and the keeping quality of the meat is dimin- ished. Now: it is: well known that ozone i8 a powerful germicide. If the air of the. cold-storage rooms is ozon- ized, its temperature: may be raised without injury to the contents. This has_been proved by numerous experi- ments, and ozonizing apparatus-has {now been installed in the abatoirs at Cologne, Potsdam, Brandenburg, Berlin, Frankfurt-on-the-Main, Dus- seldorf, Freiburg (Silesia), Aix-la- Chapelle and Erfurt; in a cold stor- age depot.at Hamburg, and in vari- ous dairles, poultry and game stores and fish establishments. To Put Out Oll Fires. Two Danish inventors -have found & way to put out oil fires by applying carbonic acid that is foaming vio- lently. The foam is produced by a mixture of two liquids, and it is said that when it is thrown on burning sub- stances, such as oils, benzine and tar, it spreads rapidly over the surface and puts out the flames by cutting off the air. Many tanks that contain ofl or other highly inflammable liquids are now permanently fitted with perforat- ed pipes, thirough which the foam- ing mixture’ can' be applied directly to the surface of the burning mate- rial. Hitherto fires in oil tanks have been allowed to burn themselves out or the contents have been drawn out |" from below and wasfed. According to Chambers’ Journal -many private and government institutions ‘have adopted the new system. He Meant a Wee Nap, Not a Wee Nip.
