PREFACE. 
 
 Who's Who in Pennsylvania is a work based on the 
 principle of a London publication which gives sketches of the 
 lives of people of prominence in Great Britain and to some extent 
 in other countries. There are numerous men whose careers have 
 a definite and important interest when considered as factors in 
 the life of their special States, and whose reputation, while not 
 national or world-wide, is such as to entitle them to consideration 
 in such work. 
 
 Recognizing the fact that this commonwealth information, if 
 we may so designate it, is not to be found complete within any 
 one volume, and that those who seek for it often find it impossible 
 to secure, the publishers of this work have here endeavored to 
 supply it for the State of Pennsylvania. They are not tyros in 
 this work. Their well known companion volume, Who's Who in 
 New York, has been widely and warmly welcomed in the Empire 
 State. In the present volume they have endeavored to supply the 
 people of Pennsylvania with similar information concerning its 
 notable and eminent men, its jurists, lawyers, legislators, physi- 
 cians, authors, financiers, merchants, inventors, and in short all 
 who are taking part in the development, public and industrial, of 
 the second State in wealth and population of the American Union. 
 
 Who's Who in Pennsylvania they claim to be authentic and 
 reliable. It deals with facts hitherto scattered and difficult of ac- 
 cess, and frequently not to be found anywhere in published form. 
 And when found it is often not to be trusted. To assure correctness 
 the publishers have made strenuous endeavors to obtain their 
 facts at first hand, gathering them from the persons concerned. 
 Where this has not been possible they have made use of such 
 trustworthy sources as Smull's Handbook and Congressional Rec- 
 ord, "Records of Living Officers United States Navy," and they 
 take pleasure in acknowledging their obligation to Wilbur J. 
 Carr, of the State Department, whose information has been gath- 
 
ered in the same direct way. They, therefore, take pride in feel- 
 ing that they are offering the public a work which is immediate in 
 its sources of information, exhaustive in its design, creditably 
 full in its performance, and whose facts are given in some satisfy- 
 ing detail, and not with the vexatious condensation necessary in 
 works which deal with a whole country. 
 
 It has not been the purpose of the publishers to include every 
 man or woman of some small local notoriety, their object being 
 to give only men known widely in the State as leaders in their 
 respective professions or lives of activity. In doing this it has 
 been necessary to trust to personal decision in selecting, and vari- 
 ous names may have been omitted which many readers may deem 
 worthy of admission. Not holding their own judgment superior 
 to that of others, and solicitous only to confine their selections to 
 the names of persons who deserve a place in the book, they in- 
 vite the freest suggestion and criticism from their readers, with 
 the purpose of bringing future editions still more nearly up to the 
 standard they desire to establish. They feel confident, however, 
 that the possible sins of omission in this work are not many or 
 flagrant, and that as it stands it will be found an invaluable ad- 
 dition to the history of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

 ADDICKS. John Echvurd: 
 
 Gas works promoter; born in Phila- 
 delphia Nov. 21, 1841, a lineal descendant 
 of Donal O'Sullivan Beare, of Dunbay 
 Castle, County Cork, Ireland, leader in 
 the religious war against Queen Eliza- 
 beth. He was afterward Earl of Bear- 
 haven, and among his descendents were 
 General John and Governor James Sulli- 
 van, of Revolutionary fame, and Major 
 Thomas H. O'Sullivan Beare, whose 
 daughter Barbara emigrated to America 
 and married John Edward Charles Ad- 
 dicks, German Consul to Philadelphia. , 
 Mr. Addicks was a personal friend of 
 John Marshall and Daniel Webster, and 
 
WHO'S WHO IN PENNSYLVANIA. 
 
 was the grandfather of the subject of 
 this sketch. Mr. Addicks obtained his 
 education in the Philadelphia public 
 schools, graduating from the Central 
 High School at fifteen years of age. His 
 business career began in a wholesale dry- 
 goods store, where he remained till 
 nineteen years old, when he entered the 
 flour store of Levi Knowles. After be- 
 coming of age he was made a partner in 
 this establishment, and proved very suc- 
 cessful in developing the business. Three 
 years later he embarked in a flour busi- 
 ness of his own, and pushed it with 
 such energy that in time he became the 
 foremost dealer in his line of trade in 
 Philadelphia. In 1864 he married Laura 
 Wattson Butcher, daughter of Washing- 
 ton and Mary E. Butcher of Philadel- 
 phia. Mr. Addicks soon began investing 
 his profits in Philadelphia real estate, 
 and became prominent in this field of 
 operations. He removed his residence in 
 1877 to Clayton, Del., a suburban settle- 
 ment of Philadelphia. Shortly afterward 
 he became interested in the development 
 of water gas as an illuminant, then an 
 infant industry, but a promising one. 
 Mr. Addicks took hold of this with all 
 his native energy, and became closely 
 identified with its great development, his 
 name becoming known in connection with 
 it throughout the United States. He 
 built works for the manufacture of 
 water gas in Jersey City and also for 
 the Consumers' Gas Company of Chica- 
 go, the latter being the pioneer of the 
 Chicago Gas Trust. In 1884 he origin- 
 ated the Bay State Gas Company of Bos- 
 ton, and was the first to build water 
 gas works in that city. He purchased in 
 1892 a controlling interest in the Brook- 
 lyn Gas Company and was elected its 
 President, and became largely interested 
 in other gas companies of Brooklyn. He 
 also built a gas works in Wilmington, 
 Del., for the Oxyhydrogen Company. He 
 Is, however, better known for the promi- 
 nence he has held of late years in poli- 
 tics. An earnest Republican, he quickly 
 took a strong interest in the political 
 affairs of his adopted State, and as early 
 as 1889 developed an ambition to repre- 
 sent Delaware in the United States Sen- 
 ate. In 1899 he received the largest vote 
 for Senator in the Legislature, but failed 
 of election, the "Union Republicans," the 
 faction under his control, being bitterly 
 opposed by the "Regular Republicans." 
 In 1901 he was again a candidate, and 
 again in 1903, but was both times de- 
 
 feated by the vigorous opposition, though 
 controlling enough votes to prevent the 
 election of any competitor. As a conse- 
 quence of this long continued contest, 
 Delaware for several years was repre- 
 sented by only one Senator, and for a 
 period was without a Senator, Senator 
 Kenney's term expiring March 4, 1901. 
 The dead lock was broken in 1903 by the 
 election of Lewis H. Ball for the short 
 term, and James F. Allse, the candidate 
 of the Addicks faction, for a long term, 
 ending March 4, 1907. Address, Wilming- 
 ton, Del.

 ALLMAN, Herbert I>.: 
 
 Manufacturer and merchant; born in 
 Philadelphia, Jan. 30, 1863; educated in the 
 public schools and the Industrial Art 
 School; entered the employment of M. M. 
 Kayser, dealer in wall paper, as junior 
 clerk. While thus engaged he continued 
 his art studies at the Industrial Art 
 School and the Franklin Institute. In 
 1883 Mr. Kayser went to California for 
 his health, leaving his youthful clerk 
 practically in charge of the business, at 
 tnat time a small one. Mr. Allman con- 
 ceived the idea of establishing a mail 
 order system. This project, original with 
 him, was at once put into execution, and 
 proved a decided success, the business 
 growing rapidly. Mr. Kayser, on his re- 
 turn, highly commended his clerk's work 
 and extended it, and in 1884 gave Mr. 
 Allman — then twenty-one years old — an 
 interest in the business. In 1888 he pur- 
 chased a one-third interest, and in 1890, 
 on Mr. Kayser's death, he obtained a 
 half interest, the firm taking the name 
 of Kayser & Allman. The business, 
 meanwhile, had greatly developed, orders 
 coming from nearly every State of the 
 Union, and also from Australia and 
 South America. The firm had the Wall 
 Paper Trust to contend with, but did so 
 successfully, refusing to take part in it. 
 The establishment grew large, and shortly 
 after 1890 the firm, in conjunction with 
 some other parties, organized the Stand- 
 ard Wall Paper Company, which has, at 
 Sandy Hill, New York, one of the largest 
 manufactories of fine wall paper in this 
 country. In 1898, in conjunction with his 
 younger brother and Mr. Samuel Kayser 
 (partners of Kayser & Allman) he start- 
 ed the Columbia Wall Paper Company, 
 now located in Bristol, Pa., of which 
 Herbert D. Allman is President, Samuel 
 Kayser "Vice President, and Justin P. 
 Allman Secretary and Treasurer. One of 
 the largest and most modern plants of 
 its kind in America and turning out an- 
 nually over five million rolls of higher 
 grade wall paper. Plant occupies five

 BAILY, Joel J.: 
 
 Merchant and reformer; born at London 
 Grove, Chester County, Pa., October 29, 
 1826. At the age of seventeen he went 
 to Philadelphia, and entered the estab- 
 lishment of M. Morris Marple, a dealer 
 in notions. Three years later, when only 
 twenty years old, he bought out his em- 
 ployer and began business on his own ac- 
 count. The business was then quite small 
 but it grew rapidly under his energetic 
 management. In 1852 he closed the re- 
 tail, and confined his business to the 
 wholesale trade, taking in two of his 
 clerks as partners, under the firm name 
 of Joel J. Baily & Co. The steady growth 
 of the business needed many changes of 
 location, the final one being to the large 
 double store, 719-21 Market St., in 1S73, 
 where the sales rose to ?3, 000.000 annu- 
 ally. In 1900 the business was sold out 
 to the department store firm of Lit Broth- 
 ers. Mr. Bailey became a member and 
 director of the Union League in 1863, and 
 later became a strong opponent of corrup- 
 tion in municipal affairs. When the Com- 
 mittee of One Hundred was formed in 1S80 
 he became its treasurer, and worked act- 
 ively in the cause of reform till the com- 
 mittee ceased to exist in 18S6. He was a

 office, he began the study of law under 
 Albert A. Outerbridge, and was admitted 
 to practice before the Philadelphia bar in 
 1S84; his marked ability as an advocate 
 was soon evident, and led in 1885 to a 
 partnership with Hon. William F. Har- 
 rity, which continued till 1898, and in 188S 
 brought him the appointment by the Unit- 
 ed States Attorney General of Assistant 
 United States Attorney for the Eastern 
 District of Pennsylvania; his rapidly- 
 increasing private practice forced him to 
 resign this position in 1892, but in 1896 
 he received the appointment of United 
 States Attorney for the same district, and 
 held this position for four years, resign- 
 ing July 11, 1900; he was immediately ap- 
 pointed Assistant Attorney General of 
 the United States, which elevated post 
 he retained till April 30, 1903; in 1898 he 
 was the Democratic and Independent 
 candidate for District Attorney of Phila- 
 delphia, but was defeated by P. F. 
 Rothermel, the Republican candidate. 
 As United States Attorney, he prosecuted 
 many important criminal cases, convict- 
 ing the Cuban filibusters, the Lancaster 
 counterfeiters, and the derelict officials of 
 the Chestnut Street Bank; in his prose- 
 cution of those who were breaking the 
 neutrality laws punishing filibusterinig, he 
 had to contend against the strong senti- 
 ment in lavor of Cuban independence, and 
 was opposed in the Court of Appeals by 
 the eminent counsel, Senator Gray, of 
 Delaware, but obtained a decision in fa- 
 vor of the Government. The case 
 against the counterfeiters was also a 
 notable one, and ended in the conviction, 
 not only of the accused, but also of 
 former United States District Attorney 
 Ellery P. Ingham and his law partner, 
 Harvey K. Newett, who were proved to 
 be criminally concerned in the affair; as 
 Master, appointed by the United States 
 Court, he sold in April, 1902, the Phila- 
 delphia Record for $3,000,000, the highest 
 price ever obtained for an American 
 newspaper at public sale; in 1902 he en- 
 tered the law firm of Sherman and Stir- 
 ling, of New York, and removed to that 
 city; he is also senior member of the 
 firm of Beck, Robinson & Kane, of Phila- 
 delphia; in 1890 he married Lilla Mitchell, 
 a daughter of James Mitchell, of Phila- 
 delphia, Mr. Beck's phenomenal progress 
 in his profession has been partly due to 
 his marked powers as an orator, which 
 have been displayed on many public and 
 private occasions; in 1892 he delivered the 
 
 Fourth of July oration in Independence : 
 Square, and in 1S93 the oration on Penn- 
 sylvania Day at the Chicago Exposition; 
 another striking speech was that given 
 at the unveiling of the Statue of Stephen 
 Girard, in Philadelphia. Probably his 
 most notable speech was that in response ' 
 to the toast: "The American Bar," at , 
 the dinner given in London by the Bench 
 and Bar Association of England to the : 
 similar association of the United States. 
 Mr. Beck is a member of the Contempor- i 
 ary Club, and the Browning Society of • 
 Philadelphia, and of the Lotus Club of 
 New York; is President of the New Eng- 
 land Society, and is connected with va- 
 rious other associations. Office, 44 Wall

 BOSBTSHELL, Oliver C.I 
 
 Oliver C. Bosbyshell, soldier, enjoys 
 the honorable distinction of having been 
 the first Union soldier hurt by the 
 enemy in the War of the Rebellion; he 
 enlisted in April, 1861, and served his 
 country until Oct. 1864; on the 18th day 
 of April. 1861, as a Private in the Wash- 
 ington Artilleryists of Pottsville, Schuyl- 
 kill County — the first command to re- 
 spond to President Lincoln's call for 
 seventy-five thousand men — he was 
 marching with his comrades through 
 Baltimore, en route to Washington, when 
 the memorable attack was made upon 
 
 them by Southern sympathizers; Private 
 Bosbyshell was struck on the head with 
 a brick. Colonel Bosbyshell was born in 
 Vicksburg, Mississippi, on the 3rd of 
 January. 1S39; his father and mother, 
 however, were natives of Philadelphia; 
 he grew up in Schuylkill County, receiv- 
 ing a fair education in the public schools, 
 and was a student in the law office of 
 his uncle, W. L. Whitney, when the war 
 broke out, and he immediately enlisted as 
 a private in the Washington Artillery 
 and served continuously throughout the 
 Civil War. having attained the rank of 
 Major; was mustered out of service Oct. 
 1, 1S64. Returning to Pottsville, the war 
 being virtually ended, Major Bosbyshell 
 engaged in business; always a devoted 
 Republican, he was nominated by his 
 party in Schuylkill County in 1866 for 
 Prothonotary; the county being Demo- 
 cratic, he was not elected, yet he re- 
 ceived the highest vote of any Repub- 
 lican candidate of the party that year. 
 In 1867 he became a member of the 
 Grand Army of the Republic and organ- 
 ized Post 23, of Pottsville; he was its first 
 commander; afterward he became Dis- 
 trict Commander of Schuylkill County; in 
 1869 he was elected Department Com- 
 mander of Pennsylvania. In the same 
 year he was made Register of Deposits 
 in the United States Mint in Philadel- 
 phia; soon afterward he was made As- 
 sistant Coiner; he removed to Philadel- 
 phia and has lived in that city ever since. 
 In January, 1S77, he was appointed Coiner 
 by President Grant and served as such 
 until in February, 1S85, he was appointed 
 by Colonel Dechert, the City Controller, to 
 the position of Chief Clerk in the Con- 
 troller's Office; it was a tribute to Major 
 Bosbyshell's worth that he, a Republican, 
 should be selected for the next most im- 
 portant position in a Democratic Con- 
 troller's office. Colonel Bosbyshell was 
 appointed Superintendent of the Mint of 
 the United States at Philadelphia by 
 President Harrison on Oct. 17, 1899, and 
 served a full term in that office, or until 
 April. 1903, when he was made Vice 
 President, and subsequently Treasurer of 
 the Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Co., a 
 position he still holds. Has been particu- 
 larly interested in the National Guard of 
 Pennsylvania for many years, having 
 been Major of the Second Regiment in 
 December, 1878, promoted Lieutenant

 tions with credit. In August. 1893, re-

 BRUMM, Charles N.: 
 
 Lawyer: born at Pottsville, Pa., June 
 9, 1838; received a common school edu- 
 cation, with the exception of one year 
 at Pennsylvania College at Gettysburg, 
 Pa.; served an apprenticeship at the trade 
 of watchmaker; studied law two years; 
 left studies and enlisted as a private 
 under the first call of President Lincoln 
 for three months' men, and was elected 
 First Lieutenant of Company I, Fifth 
 Pennsylvania Volunteers; after the ex- 
 piration of his term re-enlisted Sept. 15, 
 1861, for three years, and was elected 
 First Lieutenant of Company K, Seventy- 
 Sixth Pennsylvania Volunteers, Nov. 18, 
 1861; was detailed on the staff of Gen. 
 Barton as Assistant Quartermaster and 
 aide-de-camp, which position he held un- 
 der General Barton and General Penny- 
 packer until the expiration of his term 
 of service; resumed the study of law, 
 and was admitted to the bar in 1871; 
 has since practiced the profession of law 
 at the Schuylkill County bar; was elected 
 to Congress in 1878 to represent the 
 Thirteenth District of Pennsylvania, but 
 was counted out by 192 votes; during the 
 administration of Persident Harrison he 
 was appointed Deputy Attorney General, 
 but declined to accept the appointment; 
 was elected to the Forty-seventh, Forty- 
 Eighth. Forty-ninth. Fiftieth, and Fifty- 
 fouth Congresses, and re-elected to the 
 Fifty-fifth Congress as a Republican, re- 
 ceiving 16,613 votes against 14,512 votes 
 
 for Warren F. Shepherd, Democrat, and 
 239 votes for S. G. Hollopeter, Prohibi- 
 tionist. Upon his return from the army 
 Mr. Brumm became very conspicuous as 
 Government Revenue Assessor, which 
 office was made necessary by the income 
 tax, which was then in existence, being 
 levied upon all earnings above a certain 
 sum. Lawlessness reigned so extensively 
 in the county that no one would make 
 assessments until Mr. Brum took it in 
 hand, and after a number of desperate 
 encounters succeeded in finnishing the 
 work. He was later selected by the Un- 
 ion League, together with Mr. Benjamin 
 Bannan, to procure certain legislation at 
 Harrisburg: Such as the Green-Judge 
 bill and the Jury and Police bills. Po- 
 itica prejudice ran so high at the time 
 that, because of his actions at the State 
 capita, he was compelled to fight the 
 local courts for two years before he could 
 be admitted to the bar, and only then 
 then after he had been admitted to prac- 
 tice in the Lebanon County bar. Besides 
 his career in Congress he has been very 
 successful in his profession, having, in the 
 midst of a large practice, tried upward of 
 thirty Homeside cases, and only one of 
 his clients was executed. During the 
 great anthracite coal strike he was se- 
 lected by District No. 9 of the United 
 Mine Workers of America as their coun- 
 sel to appear before the Strike Commis- 
 sion appointed by President Roosevelt, 
 and took a very prominent part in the 
 argument before the same. On the 6th of

 tified with the principal public interests 
 and movements throughout the history 
 of Pennsylvania; like his progenitors he 
 has been one of its most public spirited 
 citizens. He is a graduate of the De- 
 partments of Arts and Medicine of the 
 University of Pennsylvania, and has had 
 a very active part in the promotion of its 
 interests and in the elevation of the 
 standard of medical education, taking a 
 principal part in the procurement of the 
 State Board of Medical Examiners and 
 Licensers. The Civil War breaking out 
 at the time of his graduation interrupted 
 the practice of his profession for a num- 
 ber of years. Enlisting in 1S61, in the 
 First City Troop, whose services had been 
 accepted by the United States Govern- 
 ment, he remained in that branch of the 
 service by accepting a commission in Col. 
 Rush's Sixth Pennsylvania Cavalry Regi- 
 ment, until transferred by General Hook- 
 er as one of his aides on the latter's as- 
 signment to the Command of the Army 
 of the Potomac. He continued thereafter 
 to serve with the General Start of the 
 Army, General Meade having also ap- 
 pointed him one of his Aides on succeed- 
 ing General Hooker in the command. 
 These officers entertained a high opinion 
 of Colonel Cadwalader's services, Col- 
 onel Rush promoting him six files 
 to a Captaincy during the Penin- 
 sular Campaign. He about the 
 same time received an appointment as 
 Major in the Third Pennsylvania Cavalry, 
 which he declined, not wishing to leave 
 his regiment. General Hooker in his 
 recommendation for his brevet as Major 
 mentions him as "especially distinguished 
 for his gallantry and meritorious ser- 
 vices in the battle of Chancellorsville, 
 May 3, 1863, and the cavalry fight at 
 Brandy Station, June 9, 1S63," adding 
 that "he served with marked zeal and 
 devotion." Gen. Meade in his recommen- 
 dation for his brevet as Lieutenant Col- 
 onel said. "I cannot speak too strongly 
 of the activity, zeal and energy displayed 
 by Captain Cadwalader during his ser- 
 vices under me," and recommended that 
 he be brevetted Lieutenant Colonel "for 
 distinguished gallantry and good conduct 
 at the battle of Gettysburg and in subse- 
 quent operations, including the campaign 
 from the Rapidan to the James in 1864 
 and the siege of Petersburg." After the 
 war he resumed the practice of medicine 
 and is widely known for his philanthropic 
 activities therewith, and in various public 
 and political connections. Member of the 
 
 Pennsylvania Commandery of the Mili- 
 tary Order of the Loyal Legion, Society 
 of Colonial Wars, Society of the Cincin- 
 nati, College of Physicians and various 
 clubs. Address, 1519 Locust St., Philadel-

 1831 to 1833. Entering the banking house 
 of E. W. Clark & Co., Philadelphia, in 
 1839, he soon became the confidential 
 clerk of the firm, and eighteen months 
 before he became of age was given power 
 of attorney to sign all matters for the 
 firm; he was admitted as a partner in 
 1S42 and continued in the firm till 1858, 
 when he retired for a time from the 
 banking business to enter into that of 
 negotiating railroad securities; the sale 
 of the Pennsylvania State canals was 
 negotiated by him. In 1S61 he resumed 
 the banking business, forming a firm 
 known as Jay Cooke & Co., branches 
 being afterward established in New York 
 and Washington, and a branch in Lon- 
 don known as Jay Cooke, McCulloch & 
 Co., Mr. McCulloch, ex-Secretary of the 
 Treasury, being a partner. While con- 
 nected with E. W. Clark & Co. that firm 
 had negotiated a large part of the gov- 
 ernment loans to carry in the Mexican 
 War, and the experience then gained 
 prepared Mr. Cooke for the far greater 
 work of negotiating the Civil War loans, 
 into which he very actively entered; the 
 need for raising money for this war was 
 immense and the credit of the govern- 
 ment at its opening very low; each suc- 
 cessive Secretary of the Treasury — Chase, 
 Fessenden and McCulloch — did his best to 
 raise war funds by direct negotiation of 
 the government securities, but each was 
 compelled to call Mr. Cooke to his aid 
 as the sole fiscal agent of the govern- 
 ment, and his service in this contingency 
 was of the utmost value to the govern- 
 ment financiers; it is said that he nego- 
 tiated in all two thousand million dollars 
 ■of government loans at a very small rate 
 of compensation. The greatest financial 
 operation undertaken by the house of 
 Jay Cooke & Co. after the war was the 
 disposal of the securities of the North- 
 ern Pacific Railroad Company, an enter- 
 prise which proved too heavy during the 
 financial panic of 1873, the house being 
 forced to suspend; in subsequent years, 
 however, the stocks and bonds of the 
 road regained their value, the enterprise 
 was completed, and the fortune of Mr. 
 Cooke was restored. He is now a large 
 ■owner of Western lands. Address,

 noted Col. John Piper, the Piper family 
 being prominent in the Revolutionary 
 War. After obtaining a good education, 
 he entered the employ of the New York 
 and Cleveland Gas and Coal Company in 
 1S72 as a bookkeeper; two years later 
 he was made Treasurer and in 1S87 was 
 elected to the Presidency of the company. 
 At that time natural gas had made great 
 inroads into the business, but by adopt- 
 ing progressive methods and pushing the 
 trade into new fields he was able to in- 
 crease the business of the company in 
 1S92 to over fifty per cent, more than 
 had ever been sold, even before the ad- 
 vent of natural gas; he is noted as a man 
 who has studied every phase of the coal 
 business, and who knows the needs of 
 every branch of its operation; in July, 
 1901, he left the New York and Cleveland 
 Gas Company, and was later made Pres- 
 ident of the Empire Coal Mining Com- 
 pany. A notable feature of his campaign 
 for better conditions in the coal mining 
 business has been his sturdy opposition 
 to the so-called company or "pluck-me" 
 stores. Address, 1226 Murray Hill Ave.,

 house of N. Holmes & Sons. It was in 
 this establishment that young Donnell 
 laid the foundation of his career. His 
 earnest attention to details and rapid as- 
 similation of the technical knowledge of 
 the business soon stamped him as a 
 young man of promise. His promotion, 
 therefore, was steady. In every depart- 
 ment of the business entrusted to his 
 care he devoted all his best energies, and, 
 step by step, he advanced until, in 1872, 
 he was admitted to partnership in the 
 firm. On Oct. 1, 1S99, he was elected to

 erty was condemned and purchased by 
 the Government, and in payment the 
 largest check ever received in Pittsburg 
 was rendered. He was one of the organ- 
 izers and builders of the Citizens' Trac- 
 tion Railroad, which has helped to give 
 Pittsburg one of the best systems of 
 street railway of any city in the United 
 States. Member of city of Pittsburg

 cated. He removed to Philadelphia at 
 fourteen years of age and entered a retail 
 dry-goods store, in which he remained for 
 ten years. His tendency, however, was 
 toward mechanics, and in 1855 he started 
 a malleable iron business in a small way, 
 developing the new idea of making of this 
 material the fittings for gas, steam and 
 water pipes, then made of brass. His 
 idea proved so successful that his trade 
 rapidly grew and in 1863 larger works 
 became necessary. In 1865 he bought his 
 present property at Nineteenth St. and 
 Pennsylvania Ave., and in 1881 greatly in- 
 creased it by purchasing adjoining prop- 
 erties. He subsequently admitted his 
 sons into the business, the firm name be-

 fire-brick, and in 1896 purchased a pot- 
 tery on Ridge Ave. Mr. Flagg also very 
 successfully added steel castings to his 
 iron business, these, as well as his iron 
 fittings, being of so superior a quality

 took part in the Civil War as Orderly 
 Sergeant of Company G, 176th Regiment,

 FRICK, Qncliil Bernardo: 
 
 Major United States Army; son of 
 Dr. A. P. Frick; born in Phila- 
 delphia, Pa., July 29, 1867; descended 
 from Henry Frick, who emigrated from 
 Berne, Switzerland, about 1685, and set- 
 tled in Lancaster County, Pa. Married 
 Sarah E. Bunting, Oct. 30, 1889; gradu- 
 ated in medicine in class of 1S8S at the 
 University of California; appointed as- 
 sistant Surgeon United States Army, with 
 rank of First Lieutenant, Oct. 29, 1889; 
 promoted Captain and Assistant Surgeon, 
 Oct. 29, 1894; Major and Surgeon, June 28, 
 1902. Address, Fort Snelling, Minn. 
 
 FRICK, Henry Clay: 
 
 Coke and iron manufacturer; born at 
 West Overton, Pa., Dec. 19, 1849. His 
 ancestors came from Switzerland in 1750 
 and settled in Pennsylvania. His ma- 
 ternal grandfather, Abraham Overholt, 
 was one of the largest landholders of his 
 time in the southwest section of the 
 State. Mr. Frick was educated in the 
 public schools and at Otterbein Univer- 
 sity, Ohio, and began his business life as 
 a store clerk at Mount Pleasant, Pa., be- 
 coming, in 1869, a bookkeeper in his 
 grandfather's office at Broad Ford. The 
 value of the coking-coal deposits at this 
 locality attracted his attention in 1871, 
 and after a thorough investigation of the 
 material and the business, then in its 
 infancy, he formed with several friends 
 the partnership of H. C. Frick & Co., 
 bought 300 acres of coal lands, and built 
 about fifty coke ovens. The business 
 proved very profitable, there being a 
 ready sale for its product, and after the 
 panic of 1873 he bought and leased works 
 and lands widely; in 1S76 bought out his 
 partners, and in 1882 formed the H. C. 
 Frick Coke Company, with $2,000,000 cap- 
 ital. The Carnegie Bros. & Co. soon be- 
 came large stockholders in the company, 
 and the capital was increased to $10,000,- 
 000. This company is now the largest 
 coke producer in the world, owning in 
 the Connellsville region 40,000 acres of 
 coal lands and 12,000 coke ovens, employ- 
 ing more than 11,000 hands and yielding 
 about 25,000 tons of coke daily. In 1S89 
 Mr. Frick became a member of the firm 
 of Carnegie Bros. & Co., and on its con- 
 solidation in 1S92 as the Carnegie Steel 
 Company, Limited, with a capital of $25,- 
 000,000, he became the executive head of 
 the organization. Of the labor disturb- 
 ances with which he had to deal, much 
 the most notable was the strike at the 
 
242 
 
 WHO'S WHO IN PENNSYLVANIA. 
 
 Homestead works of the company in 
 1S92. This was brought about by his 
 efforts to equalize the rates of wages 
 and reduce the extravagant pay of the 
 "tonnage men." A lockout ensued, ex- 
 treme disorder and rioting broke out, and 
 on July 23. while he was seeking to ad- 
 just the difficulties, his office was en- 
 tered by a man named Berkman, who 
 shot him twice and stabbed him. In 
 spite of his severe wounds he kept up 
 the contest, and in the end won the fight, 
 and within less than a year after the 
 new scale of wages was adopted, the 
 men acknowledged that he was right, and 
 the strike unjustified. Since 1S92 there 
 have been no more labor troubles in the 
 two companies with which Mr. Prick is 
 connected, and their employees are the 
 best paid workmen in the world. In 
 tS95 his duties as Chairman of the Car- 
 negie Steel Company were reduced by 
 the appointment of a President, and in 
 "1897 he ceased to manage the minor af- 
 fairs of the coke company. In 1S99 the 
 properties of which he was the official 
 head consisted of mines yielding 6,000,000 
 tons of iron ore annually; the coke lands 
 and product above mentioned; steamship 
 coal and ore carriers on Lake Erie; a rail- 
 road from Lake Erie to Pittsburg; 70,000 
 acres of natural gas territory; nineteen 
 blast furnaces and five steel mills, yield- 
 ing 3,250,000 tons of steel annually. In 
 1S99 a personal dispute on financial mat- 
 ters arose between Mr. Frick and Mr. 
 Carnegie, but this was soon adjusted and 
 was followed by the formation of the 
 Carnegie Company, with $160,000,000 
 paid-up capital, and including the steel 
 and coke works with numerous subsidi- 
 ary companies. Since then the United 
 States Steel Company has been organized, 
 with $1,100,000,000 capital, the most stu- 
 pendous industrial enterprise in the 
 world. Mr. Frick personally is a modest • 
 and unassuming man, though with abun- 
 dant firmness and courage when needed. 
 He is unostentatiously and genuinely 
 charitable. In 1881 he was married to Ade- 
 laide H. Childs, of Pittsburg, and has 
 one son and one daughter living. Address, 
 Pittsburg, Pa.

 GIBBS, William W.: 
 
 Gas corporation manager; born in Hope, 
 Warren County, N. J., March 8, 1846. He 
 became a store boy at fourteen and 
 served as clerk in a country store till 
 twenty-three years of age, when he was 
 made a partner in the concern. Two 
 years later, in 1871, his partner died, and 
 he closed out the business. Mr. Gibbs 
 
 9 
 
 then went to New York and began the 
 retail dry goods business and in 1873 
 organized a firm of wholesale grocers. 
 In 1875 he withdrew from this line of 
 trade almost penniless. Becoming ac- 
 quainted with Ferdinand King, who had 
 invented a process for making gas from 
 petroleum, he formed a partnership with 
 him, styled the National Petroleum Gas 
 Company of New York. The ability and 
 energy of Mr. Gibbs soon obtained a con- 
 tract to build a small gas works for this 
 company, and the gas, proving satisfac- 
 tory, he pushed the business so actively 
 that within seven years he had built 
 more than a hundred works, in all parts 
 of the country. The large quantity of 
 petroleum used in his operations brought 
 liim into close connection with the offi- 
 cials of the Standard Oil Company and 
 in 1SS2, as a result of his endeavors, the 
 United Gas Improvement Company was 
 organized in Philadelphia, with Mr. Gibbs 
 as its general manager. Under his con- 
 trol this company became highly success- 
 ful, and is now one of the most prominent 
 gas corporations of the country, making 
 all the gas used in Philadelphia. Mr. 
 Gibbs has long been connected with rail- 
 road interests, especially with the Phila- 
 delphia, Reading & New England Rail- 
 road Company, and the completion of the 
 great Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge is a 
 monument to his energy. He has been 
 largely interested in Pennsylvania Heat, 
 Light & Power Company, the Electric 
 Storage Company, and the Wellsbach 
 Light Company, and in 1897 he organized 
 the Marsden Company, for the purpose of 
 manufacturing celluloid from the pith of

 lisle in 1789. A more remote ancestor 
 was David Gregg, of Argyleshire, Scot- 
 land, who was a captain in Cromwell s 
 army. Another military forefather of 
 General Gregg was his great-grandfather, 
 Gen. James Potter, of the Pennsylvania 
 Line, who became Vice President of 
 Pennsylvania in 1781. Educated at Miln- 
 wood, Huntingdon County, and at the 
 University at Lewisburg, young Gregg en- 
 tered the United States Military Acad- 
 emy at West Point, July 1, 1851, gradu- 
 ating in 1855. He was commissioned 
 Brevet Second Lieutenant of Dragoons 
 July 1, 1S55, and then began his arduous 
 life of the trooper upon the plains of the 
 West and the battle fields of the Civil 
 War. Before the war, as an officer of the 
 First Dragoons, Gregg had seen active 
 service in New Mexico, California, Ore- 
 gon, and Washington Territory. He was 
 on the Spokane expedition in 1858, and 
 was engaged in the desperate combat at 
 Tohotsnimme, and in the combat at Four 
 Lakes in September, 1858. and other In- 
 dian fights. As Captain of the Sixth Cav- 
 alry he served in the defences of Wash- 
 ington from the fall of 1861 until promot- 
 ed in January, 1862, to be Colonel of the 
 Eighth Pennsylvania Cavalry, after which 
 he participated in the battles of Seven 
 Pines and Fair Oaks in May, 1862, and

 of all the cavalry of the Army of the 
 Potomac from Aug. 1, 1864, to Feb. 3,

 combats in which he was engaged Gen. 
 Gregg was in chief command. On Aug. 
 1, 1864, he had been made Brevet Major 
 General United States Volunteers "for 
 highly meritorious and distinguished con- 
 duct throughout the campaign, particular- 
 ly in the reconnoissance on the Charles

 HAMERSLY, Lewis Randolph: 
 
 Editor and publisher; born in Wash- 
 ington. D. C, Jan. 17, 1847; received his 
 education in the private schools of Wash- 
 ington. On the maternal side he is the 
 grandson of Commodore T. H. Stevens 
 (who, at the age of eighteen, command- 
 ed one of Perry's ships, the Trippe, at 
 the battle of Lake Erie) and nephew of 
 the late Rear-Admiral T. H. Stevens, 
 U. S. N., who greatly distinguished him- 
 self during the Civil War. On the patern- 
 al side, Mr. Hamersly is a grandnephew 
 of the late Chief Justice Ellis Lewis, of 
 Pennsylvania, for whom he is named. He 
 was appointed an acting master's mate in 
 the navy March 6, 1861, and this probably 
 was the first appointment in the volunteer 
 navy. In December, 1863, he was pro- 
 moted to the grade of Acting Ensign, he 
 being at that time less than seventeen 
 years of age. On July 23, 1866, he was 
 honorably discharged from the volunteer 
 naval service and the same day commiss- 
 ioned as Second Lieutenant in the Marine 
 Corps. In September, 1869, he resigned 
 his commission. Several years ago a bill 
 was before Congress, which had been 
 reported favorably by the Committee on 
 Naval Affairs, to place Mr. Hamersly on 
 
294 
 
 WHO'S WHO IN PENNSYLVANIA. 
 
 the retired list as Captain in the Marine 
 Corps, to which the then Secretary of the 
 Navy attached the following remarks: 
 "With reference to the request of the 
 committee for an expression of the views 
 of this department on the merits of the 
 bill under consideration, I have the honor 
 to state that, in view of the fact that the 
 information contained in the inclosures 
 of this communication show an enviable 
 record of active service on the part of 
 this gentleman during the late war in the 
 volunteer navy, a commendable record 
 subsequent thereto as a commissioned of- 
 ficer in the Marine Corps, until he was 
 stricken down in the line of duty on 
 board the ship to which he was attached, 
 in a foreign port, condemned by a duly 
 organized board of survey, consisting of 
 medical officers of the navy, and trans- 
 ferred to the Naval Hospital at Norfolk, 
 Va., for treatment for the disease with 
 which he was suffering, and which he 
 contracted in the line of duty, as before 
 stated, it would seem to be unnecessary 
 for an expression by this department of 
 its views as to the merits of the bill 
 further than to suggest that had Mr. 
 Hamersly been retired at a time when he 
 could have been retired justly and law- 
 fully under the existing law, he would 
 have been placed upon the retired list 
 of the Marine Corps, with the rank of 
 Second Lieutenant, which rank he then 
 held. (Signed) B. F. Tracy, Secretary 
 of the Navy." In 1870. a few months 
 after his resignation from the Marine 
 Corps, Mr. Hamersly compiled the first 
 edition of his "Records of Living Officers 
 of the United States Navy," a work which 
 met with such success that in 1871 a sec- 
 ond edition was called for, and since 
 that date five other editions, the last in 
 1902, have been published. In 18S1 Mr. 
 Hamersly published "Hamersly's Naval 
 Encyclopaedia. " In 1879 he started the 
 United Service Magazine, of which he 
 has continued to be the editor and pub- 
 lisher for twenty years, the magazine be- 
 ing now conducted by his son. While a 
 Lieutenant in the Marine Corps stationed 
 at the Norfolk Navy Yard, he married, in 
 1868, Miss Mary Palmer, of Portsmouth, 
 Va. They have four children — one son, 
 L. R. Hamersly. Jr., and three daughters, 
 one the wife of Lieutenant Roland Curtin, 
 of the Navy; one married to R. R. Roose- 
 velt, Jr., of New York City, and the 
 youngest the wife of Paymaster H. E. 
 Biscoe, United States Navy. Mr. Ham- 
 
 ersly is a member of the Pennsylvania 
 Commandery of the Loyal Legion, and of 
 the Army and Navy Club, of New York.

 Donegal, Ireland; on his return to Amer- 
 ica he settled on a farm in Washington 
 County, where eight children were born 
 to them, the fourth son being Samuel. 
 After the death of his father he worked

 the summer and attended the district 
 school in the winter; at the age of sev- 
 enteen years he taught in the same 
 school where he had been a pupil; while

 Carnegie, gave Principal Hamilton the

 HARRISON, Charles Custis: 
 
 Provost of the University of Pennsyl- 
 vania; born in Philadelphia, May 3, 1844, 
 a descendant of Thomas Harrison, of Car- 
 lisle. England, who visited America be- 
 fore the Revolution and there espoused 
 the cause of the Colonies at the cost of 
 the sacrifice of his English estate. His 
 son established the first chemical manu- 
 factory in America and this was car- 
 ried on by his uncles under the firm 
 name of Harrison Brothers. On his 
 mother's side he is descended from the 
 famous Custis family, of Virginia, whose 
 name he bears. He was educated in 
 the Episcopal Academy and the Uni- 
 versity of Pennsylvania, and intended to 
 make the law his profession, but during 
 his absence on a visit to the army in 
 1862, with the purpose of joining its ranks, 
 the late John Welsh proposed to his 
 father to establish their two sons, with 
 Walter S. Newhall, in the sugar- refining 
 business, under the firm name of Harri- 
 son. Newhall & Welsh. Young Harrison, 
 then only nineteen, on his return home, 
 found his warlike aspirations checked, 
 and entered actively into the business 
 formed for him, which quickly showed 
 signs of prosperity. His brothers and 
 brother-in-law subsequently entered the 
 firm, which became known as Harrison, 
 Frazier & Co., and later as the Franklin 
 Sugar Refining Company. In 1892, when 
 the refinery was sold, it was doing the 
 largest business in value of products of 
 any manufactory in Pennsylvania. Mr. 
 Harrison attended to its mercantile in- 
 terests, and in doing so traveled widely 
 through the United States and Mexico. 
 (Aside from his business relations he was 
 an active member of St. Luke's Episcopal 
 Church, and took great interest in the 
 Episcopal Hospital, and also in the So- 
 ciety for the Protection of Children from 
 Cruelty, of which he is the President. 
 He was elected a Trustee of the Univer- 
 sity of Pennsylvania in 1S76, and on the 
 death of John Welsh succeeded him as 
 Chairman of the Committee on Ways and 
 Means. In 1S94, on resignation of the 
 
 highly efficient Provost Pepper, Mr. Har- 
 rison was requested to accept this office. 
 He declined, but was finally induced to 
 accept it for a brief interval and after 
 a year's experience consented in June. 
 1895, to be installed as Provost. A few 
 days previously he had established, in 
 honor of his father, "The George L. Har- 
 rison foundation for the encouragement 
 of liberal studies and the advancement of 
 knowledge," endowing it with $500,000. 
 Its purpose was to establish scholarships 
 and fellowships for men of exceptional 
 ability, increase the library, and aid pro- 
 fessors to devote themselves to special 
 work. The new Provost sought diligently 
 to add to the resources and develop the 
 capabilities of the university, a strik- 
 ing result of his labors being the building 
 of the dormitories, at a cost of $600,000, 
 and of Houston Hall, as a college club 
 house of $160,000— this money being ob- 
 tained in the form of gifts from liberal 
 patrons of the institution. This is but a 
 portion of the funds raised during the 
 administration of Provost Harrison, these 
 having amounted to over $6,000,000, which 
 have been applied greatly to the advan- 
 tage and development of the university. 
 Mr. Harrison is a member of the Penn- 
 sylania Academy of the Fine Arts, the 
 American Philosophical Society, the His- 
 torical Society of Pennsylvania, the Phi 
 Beta Kappa Society and the University 
 Club. He married on Feb. 23, 1870, Ellen 
 Nixon Wain, their family consisting of 
 three sons and three daughters. Address,

 contractor who built the Chestnut Hill

 educated in the public schools, and en- 
 tered the Union Army two months be- 
 fore he was fifteen years of age, serving

 HIMES, William P.: 
 
 Banker; born in Bellefonte, Pa., Sept. 
 21, 1844; son of the late prominent, effi- 
 cient and reputed to be at the time of 
 his death ("March 28, 1895. being in the 
 eighty-fifth year of his age) the oldest 
 bank President in the United States, Ed- 
 ward C. Humes, of Bellefonte, Pa. He 
 was educated at the Bellefonte Ac: demy; 
 afterward at the Pennsylvania State Col- 
 
 lege, then known as the Farmers' High 
 School (later as Agricultural College of 
 Pennsylvania), from where he was called 
 to his home during the early part of the 
 Civil War, to assist his father in his 
 varied business interests, taking an active 
 part in the banking interests of his na- 
 tive place in connection with the First 
 National Bank, and the successful bank- 
 ing firm established previously by his 
 father of Humes, McAllister, Hale & Co., 
 composed of Edward C. Humes, H. N. 
 McAllister, a prominent lawyer; Judge 
 James T. Hale, also a leading lawyer and 
 member of Congress, and Andrew G. 
 Curtin, the great war Governor of Penn- 
 sylvania, and which was after a number 
 of years merged into the former (First 
 National Bank of Bellefonte), of which his 
 father was also President until his death. 
 In addition to his financial interests Mr. 
 Humes became more generally known to 
 the public as a candidate for position of 
 United States Commissioner of Railroads, 
 to succeed Gen. Wade Hampton of South 
 Carolina. He was supported in his appli- 
 cation by nearly all the Republican lead- 
 ers of Pennsylvania, by the United States 
 Senators, and several Judges of the higher 
 courts of the State; by the Governor, the 
 Mayor and former Mayor of Philadelphia, 
 and indorsed in private letters from lead- 
 ers of both political parties throughout 
 the State, as well as from personal friends 
 of the President of his own State of Ohio. 
 While there were other applicants from 
 several Statse, Mr. Humes' strongest com- 
 petitor was General Longstreet of Geor- 
 gia, who, as a prominent Southern sup- 
 porter of the Union and the Administra- 
 tion, was finally appointed to the place 
 by President McKinley. His time is still 
 actively and almost continuously with the 
 bank, as well as in giving attention to 
 his father's estate. He is a Director of 
 the bank, and, with his sister. Miss Mira, 
 and his father's estate, are its largest 
 stockholders. He is an elder of the Pres- 
 byterian Church of Bellefonte, with which 
 his father and grandfather (Hamilton 
 Humes) bore the same connection. The 
 family from its earliest history have been 
 closely identified with church, charitable 
 and missionary work, always interested 
 in the best general welfare of the com- 
 munity and their friends, and have been 
 favored with the highest social standing. 
 Politically he is a Republican, and, while

 JONES, Richmond I4.I 
 
 Lawyer; born Feb. 17, 1840, and after 
 a thorough training in the best schools 
 of this country, completed his education 
 at the University of Heidelberg, Ger- 
 many. Before entering that world-re- 
 nowned institution, however, he went to 
 South American with the United States 
 expedition against Paraguay, visiting the 
 islands of St. Thomas and Barbadoes in 
 the West Indies and the principal cities 
 of the east coast of South America, and, 
 sailing a thousand miles up the Parana 
 Rivera to Asuncion; was present at the 
 capitulation of Lopez, which crowned the 
 success of the expedition. After a so- 
 journ of several years in Europe, he re- 
 turned to America and entered the law 
 office of his father as a student, and, 
 having been thoroughly qualified, was 
 admitted to the bar of Berks County, 
 
 April 14, 1863. He was subsequently ad- 
 mitted to the Supreme Court of the 
 Commonwealth and to the bar of Phila-

 counsel for the United Power and Trans- 
 portation Company and the Interstate 
 Railway Company, corporations controll- 
 ing over five hundred miles of street rail- 
 ways in Pennsylvania and the adjoining 
 States. It was mainly through his ef- 
 forts that the city of Reading recovered 
 title to the tract of land, lost for nearly 
 a hundred years, at the foot of Penn's 
 Mount, now beautifully improved as the 
 city park and known as Penn Common; 
 and that the free library of the city, of 
 which he is President, was rescued from 
 obscurity and sacrifice, placed upon an 
 enduring foundation by liberal private 
 contributions headed with his name, and 
 then adopted by the public as worthy of 
 maintenance out of the common purse. 
 In 1862, on the invasion of Maryland by 
 the Confederate Army, Mr. Jones enlisted 
 as a private soldier, and was present at 
 the battle of Antietam, and in 1863 he 
 was made Captain of a company of Penn- 
 sylvania Volunteers. In 1866 he was 
 elected a member of the Legislature from 
 the county of Berks, and was twice re- 
 elected, and in 1868, his second term, he 
 received his party's nomination for the 
 Speakership. Mr. Jones is a vestryman 
 of Christ (Episcopal) Church, Reading, 
 and a Director in many local organiza- 
 tions. He is also a member of the Col- 
 onial Society of Pennsylvania, Society of 
 Colonial Wars, Sons of the Revolution, 
 Society of the War of 1S12, and Grand 
 Army of the Republic. Mr. Jones is de- 
 scended from a long line of distinguished 
 colonial and Revolutionary ancestors on 
 both sides of his house. His father, J. 
 Glancy Jones, was an able lawyer and 
 distinguished member of Congress from 
 Berks County from 1850 to 1859, during 
 his last term having been Chairman of 
 the Committee on Ways and Means. He 
 resigned his seat in Congress to accept 
 the appointment of Envoy Extraordinary 
 and Minister Plenipotentiary to Austria, 
 which office he held during the trying 
 times of the commencement of the Civil 
 War, when our relations with foreign 
 countries were extremely delicate. Mr. 
 Jones's great-grandfather, Col. Jonathan 
 Jones, was Senior Captain of the first

 regiment raised in Pennsylvania for the 
 Continental Army, October, 1775. He par- 
 ticipated in the winter campaign for the 
 relief of the army at Quebec, after the 
 death of Montgomery, and also in many 
 important engagements. For distin- 
 guished services he was promoted to the 
 rank of Major, and later to that of Lieu- 
 tenant Colonel in the Pennsylvania Line. 
 Mr. Jones's great-great-grandfather, Da- 
 vid Jones, came from Merioneth, Wales, 
 to Pennsylvania in 1721 and bought a 
 large tract of land in Caernarvon Town- 
 ship, where he opened and developed iron 
 ore mines, which still bear his name. 
 Mr. Jones's mother was the daughter of 
 William Rodman, of Bucks County, who 
 was a Brigade Quartermaster in the 
 Army of the Revolution, and afterward a 
 member of the Senate of Pennsylvania 
 and of the Twelfth Congress of the 
 United States. The Rodman family is 
 one of the oldest in the New World, 
 having settled in America in the early 
 part of the seventeenth century, and con- 
 tributed to the colonies many of their 
 most distinguished citizens. On Nov. 26, 
 1870, Mr. Jones married Margaret Ellen 
 McCarty, daughter of James McCarty, a 
 prominent ironmaster of Reading, and 
 Rebecca MacVeagh, his wife. He has one 
 daughter, who is the wife of Nathaniel 
 Ferguson, of Reading. Address, Reading,

 the Mexican coast taken by the Navy, ex- 
 cept one; having passed the three suc- 
 ceeding examinations, and served through

 Congress. Inspector of Ocean Steamers at 
 the port of New York, hulls, machinery, 
 boats and equipments of the Collins and 
 Law lines, carrying the United States 
 mails; served continually during entire 
 Civil War; Chief Engineer King was 
 one of, if not the first officer of 
 the navy, to advocate and take a de- 
 cided stand in favor of iron and steel for 
 the hulls of United States naval vessels, 
 in opposition to the views of the senior 
 constructors and many other officers, as 
 may be seen by reference to his various 
 official reports, embracing facts and fig- 
 ures, showing the advantage of iron and 
 steel over wood as materials for ship- 
 building. Special attention of the Navy 
 Department was called to the subject in 
 his reports as Chief of Bureau, 1871-1872, 
 and overwhelming proof was produced in 
 his report on "European Ships of War," 
 1878; also in his work, "The War Ships 
 and Navies of the World." These publi- 
 cations, together with his descriptions of 
 the various new types of foreign war 
 ships and casements on our obsolete 
 types of wooden vessels, had influence 
 in showing the necessity of building a 
 new fleet of modern ships commensurate 
 with the wealth, extent and dignity of 
 the country, and of types having no su- 
 periors in speed or power of offence and 
 defence. Member of the Pennsylvania

 lembrace every topic in the field of reli-

 oecome a powerful factor in the devel- 
 opment of American Judaism. Dr. Kraus- 
 jiopf leads a number of classes, and is 
 beard on the lecture platform in all parts 
 )f the United States. Author of "A 
 flabbi's Impressions of the Oberammer- 
 -rau Passion Play," (1901). In 1894 Dr. 
 Xrauskopf resolved to visit Russia, to 
 ippeal to the Russian Government for 
 I lie Russian Jew, and suggest as a 
 ineans of relieving the congested popula- 
 'ion of the Russian Pale their coloniza- 
 [ ion as agriculturists in the interior of 
 Russia, toward which the Jews of the 
 vorld might extend support. Upon ap- 
 plying for the necessary vise endorse- 
 
 ment of his passport it was denied, since, 
 as a foreign Jew, he could not be ad- 
 mitted into Russia. The reply to the 
 Secretary of State for permission was, 
 "Russian Government deeply regrets its 
 inability to accede to the request in be- 
 half of the Reverend Jewish Divine." 
 Bills were introduced into Congress to 
 the effect that if an American citizen 
 is refused entrance into Russia by rea- 
 son of his faith, the treaty of the two 
 countries should be considered abroga- 
 ted. During this agitation he left for 
 Russia. Unmolested, he traversed the 
 entire country of Russia and made a 
 thorough study of the condition of the 
 Jews in the Pale settlements and of the 
 agricultural colonies in the interior, con- 
 cerning which he made a report to the 
 late Baron de Hirsch for use at a con- 
 ference at Geneva, which was not held 
 owing to the death of Baron de Hirsch. 
 Peing impressed with the excellence of 
 the Jewish Agricultural School at Odes- 
 sa, and Count Tolstoi's arguments in 
 favor of such institutions, upon his re- 
 turn he set to work to found the Na- 
 tional Farm School, raising sufficient 
 means to buy a farm at Doylestown, Pa., 
 near Philadelphia, erect buildings, and 
 start the school in 1897. He is its Presi-

 practical and scientific agricultural ca- 
 reers and fitting them for superintend- 
 ents of colonies, to be organized among 
 the unemployed or debilitated poor of 
 overcroweded cities. It is non-sectarian. 
 In 1898 he was chosen one of the three 
 Special field Commissioners. His report 
 of observations made and relief rendered 
 in the American camp and in the Cuban 
 battlefields, forms part of the most in- 
 teresting heroic records of the late Span- 
 ish-American War. Address, 122 West

 left the firm to become leading counsel of 
 the Standard Oil Company. In 1879 Mr 
 Lee was elected to the State Senate of 
 Pennsylvania, where he remained eight 
 years making a hard fight against the 
 rebate system on the railroads and in 
 favor of a free pipe-line bill. It was largely 
 through his efforts that the latter was 
 passed in 1S83. Aroused by the hard 
 conditions of the oil producing element, 
 Mr Lee in 1SS7 became active in the Pro- 
 ducers' Protective Association. It was 
 he who planned the agreement for the 
 shut-down that year, and it was he who 
 later was chiefly instrumental in bring- 
 ing so large a number of oil men into 
 the independent concerns. He was the 
 first President of the Producers' Oil Com- 
 pany and of the Producers and Refiners 
 Company, and from 1897 to 1901 was

 LOCKHART, Charles: 
 
 Oil producer; born at Cairns Heads, 
 near Whitford, in Wightownshire, Scot- 
 land. Aug. 2, 1818. Early in 1836 his 
 parents came to America, and, on their 
 arrival, they went directly to Pittsburg. 
 He found employment with James Mc- 
 Cully, with whom he remained for nine- 
 teen years, and, in 1855, became one of 
 the firm of James McCully & Co. The 
 firm remained in business until 1S65, 
 when it dissolved. It was as a clerk in 
 the store of Mr. McCully that Mr. Lock- 
 hart made his first venture in the oil 
 business. His first purchase was of three 
 barrels, in 1852, from Isaac Huff, who 
 was the part owner in a salt well in 
 Westmoreland County. Disposing of this 
 oil at a profit, he purchased a control- 
 ling interest in the salt well, and from 
 that time, April, 1853, he has been an 
 oil producer. After Colonel Drake's dis- 
 covery in 1S59, at Oil Creek, Mr. Lockhart 
 sent a representative to investigate the 
 field, and the report being favorable, 
 a company was organized under the 
 name of Phillips, Frew & Co.. Mr. Lock- 
 hart being a member of the firm. In 
 May, i860, Mr. Lockhart went to Europe 
 with samples of crude and refined oil 
 and was the first person to bring the 
 attention of the commercial world of Eu- 
 rope to the value of this to them un- 
 known product, and the result has been 
 of incalculable value to the oil producers 
 of this country. Upon the organization 
 of the Standard Oil Company, in 1S74, 
 all of the refineries with which Mr. Lock- 
 hart was connected were merged into 
 that great corporation. Since then he 
 has been identified with the various com- 
 panies in which the Standard Company 
 is interested; also many other interests, 
 covering a wide field. He is a Director in 
 the Pittsburg National Bank of Com- 
 merce and President of the same for the 
 past four years, besides being connected 
 with various other financial institutions 
 in Pittsburg. Address, Pittsburg, Pa.

 Inventor; born in Bradford, England,

 knowledge of chemistry was essential to 
 success; he began the study of this sci- 
 ence at the age of twenty, and soon be- 
 came proficient in it, his chemical studies 
 leading him into the manufacture of 
 paints and dyes, in which he proved very 
 successful; his taste for research led hfm 
 to the important discovery of methods 
 of utilizing the apparently useless pith of 
 the cornstalk, from which he produced a 
 cellulose impervious to water, and serving 
 as the best material known as a packing 
 for the armor of war vessels, its expan- 
 sive properties preventing the inflow of 
 water if the armor was pierced by a 
 shell; this has been used in several of 
 the United States warships; he has also 
 produced from the cornstalk fibre a food 
 for feeding dairy cattle; this enterprise 
 has assumed large proportions, and a 
 company has been formed capitalized at 
 $50,000,000. He is General Manager of the

 Sept. 14. 1S56; son of John and Mary 
 Logan McGinley, the latter a daughter 
 of Robert Rainey, a man of considerable 
 prominenece as a lawyer in Westmore- 
 land County, Pa. Mr. McGinley's father 
 was Superintendent of the old Portage 
 Railroad, between Cresson Springs and 
 Holidaysburg, Pa., then the only railroad 
 crossing the Allegheny Mountains. Until 
 he was thirteen years old young McGinley 
 attended the village school in New Alex- 
 andria, Pa., where his mother resided, his 
 father having died three weeks before 
 the birth of the son. When Mr. Mc- 
 Ginley reached the age of manhood he re- 
 moved to Pittsburg, where he took a 
 course in business training in Duff's Com- 
 mercial College, and, after completing his 
 course, was elected Secretary and Busi- 
 ness Manager of the institution, and held 
 the position for four years. Then he or- 
 ganized the Carbon Bronze Company, for 
 the manufacture of special grades of 
 anti-frictioh metals, in which enterprise 
 he was remarkably successful, and accu- 
 mulated considerable capital, which 
 served as a nucleus for larger operations. 
 It was in 1S84 that Mr. George Westing- 
 house became interested in natural gas, 
 and, disposing of his business, Mr. Mc- 
 Ginley joined him in organizing the Phil- 
 adelphia Natural Gas Company, and he 
 served as Vice President until 1900; and 
 such was its success that within two 
 years sixteen companies were formed, with 
 an aggregate capital of $20,000,000, but 
 the Philadelphia company is the most 
 prominent gas fuel company in existence, 
 and it delivers more fuel gas daily than 
 any other gas company in the world. As 
 one of the organizers, promoters and ac- 
 tive officers of the East Pittsburg Im- 
 provement Company, Mr. McGinley took a 
 prominent part in the founding and build- 
 ing of the progressive industrial towns 
 of Wilmerding, where the Westinghouse 
 Air-Brake Company's works are situated, 
 and East Pittsburg, where the extensive 
 works of the Westinghouse Electric and 
 Manufacturing Company, Westinghouse 
 Machine Company and East Pittsburg Im- 
 provement Company are located. These 
 plants are evidences of the enterprise and 
 business genius of the man who made 
 their establishment possible. In company 
 with Mr. George Westinghouse, Mr. Mc- 
 Ginley organized the Westinghouse Elec- 
 tric and Manufacturing Company, serv- 
 ing as a Director for several years. He 
 assisted in the organization and promo- 
 tion of the Central Traction Company, 
 
 operating cable and electric lines in 
 Pittsburg, which was subsequently ab- 
 sorbed by the Pittsburg Railways Com- 
 pany of that city. At present Mr. Mc- 
 Ginley is President of the Duff Manufac- 
 turing Company, and the East Pittsburg 
 Traction Company; he is also President 
 of the Duquesne Club; is Vice President

 This was followed by many important op- 
 erations including the building of the 
 track system of the Pennsylvania Rail- 
 road in connection with the Centennial 
 Exposition. He has performed many ex- 
 tensive and difficult road building opera- 
 tions, one of the most striking of which

 tracks leading into the Broad Street Sta-

 tinguished as the editor of the North 
 American and of other newspapers, as 
 Mayor of Philadelphia, and as President 
 of the Park Commission, Philadelphia 
 owes to him more than to any one man 
 its magnificent Fairmount Park. Mr. 
 McMichael was educated in the best pri- 
 vate schools of his native city, and in the 
 spring of 1S61, though less than seventeen 
 years old, was among the first to offer 
 his services to the country for the com- 
 ing war; he was made Second Lieutenant 
 in the regular army, and on Aug. 5, 1861, 
 was promoted to First Lieutenant in the 
 Ninth United States Infantry; this re- 
 markably rapid promotion for one so 
 young was warranted by his excellent 
 service throughout the war, for the first 
 two years on the frontier and the Pacific 
 coast, and for the last two years with 
 the Army of the Potomac. He resigned 
 with the rank of Colonel at the end of 
 the war at the age of twenty-one, and 
 entered the office of the North American, 
 joining his father in the editorship, suc- 
 ceeding him as editor a few years be- 
 fore his death, which took place Jan. 6, 
 1879, and became sole proprietor of the 
 paper in 1891; under his editorial control 
 it maintained its standing as an ably 
 edited and highly influential exponent of 
 Republican principles, worthy of a jour- 
 nal claiming to be the oldest daily paper 
 in America; it was originally issued as a 
 daily paper, under its first title of the 
 General Advertiser, Sept. 21, 1784; in 
 1S9S the paper was sold to its present 
 proprietors, and Mr. McMichael retired 
 from his connection with it. In 1873 he 
 was appointed by President Grant one of 
 the Commissioners to the International 
 Exposition at Vienna, and in 1SS2 by Presi- 
 dent Arthur to the post of United States 
 Marshal of the District of Columbia. It is 
 complimentary to his efficiency in the on- 
 erous duties of this office that Presi- 
 dent Cleveland declined to receive his

 MEGARGEE. Louis TV.: 
 
 Journalist; born in Philadelphia Nov. 
 7, 1855; was graduated from the Central 
 High School; engaged in commercial pur- 
 suits, but displayed such talent as a 
 writer that he was solicited to become 
 a member of the staff of the Philadelphia 
 Times on the establishment of that paper. 
 
 He wrote the leading local article for the 
 first issue of the paper, March 13, 1875, 
 and upon this article Colonel McClure 
 based his first editorial. Mr. Megargee's 
 ability soon made him a marked figure 
 among newspaper workers, and he was 
 especially active and successful in ex- 
 posing frauds, some of his exploits in 
 this field being of a daring character. He 
 was made city editor of the Daily News 
 in 1S79, and accepted a like position on 
 the Press in 1880. One of his notable 
 performances in this position was the ex- 
 posure of the detective force of the city, 
 then deeply corrupt. Another of his tri- 
 umphs was the investigation of the prac- 
 tice of stealing dead bodies for medical 
 colleges. In 1884 Mr. Megargee became 
 a proprietor of the Daily News, and sub- 
 sequently a New York correspondent of 
 the Times, and editor of the New York 
 Illustrated Graphic. He returned to Phil- 
 adelphia in 1S91, was made city editor of 
 the Times, giving this up in 1895 to con- 
 tribute signed articles to that paper, 
 whose spiciness and brilliancy won him 
 a host of readers. He continued con- 
 nected with the Times until that paper 
 went out of existence. Mr. Megargee has 
 served as President of the Journalistic 
 Club, of the Pen and Pencil Club, and of 
 the International League of Press Clubs.

 the Bethany College. West Virginia, 
 where he was graduated in 1868. His

 OLIVER, Henry W.: 
 
 Manufacturer; son of Mr. Henry W. 
 Oliver and Margaret Brown, of Donagh- 
 more, County Tyrone, Ireland; born in 
 the town of Dungannon, in February, 1840. 
 His parents settled in Pittsburg in 1S42, 
 and made that place their home. He 
 was educated in the public schools and 
 Newell's Academy, and started to work 
 when about thirteen years old as mes- 
 senger boy in the office of the National 
 Telegraph Company in Pittsburg. About 
 two years later he entered the employ- 
 ment of Clarke & Thaw, General For- 
 warding Agents, where he remained for 
 some years. In 1859 he became Shipping 
 Clerk for the iron manufacturing firm of 
 Graff, Bennett & Company. In 1861, at 
 President Lincoln's first call, he enlisted 
 in the Twelfth Regiment of Pennsylvania 
 Volunteers, serving until the end of his 
 term of enlistment of three months. He 
 also volunteered at the time of Lee's in- 
 vasion in 1863 as an emergency volunteer. 
 The first of January, 1863, in partnership 
 with William J. Lewis and John Phillips, 
 he organized the firm of Lewis, Oliver & 
 Phillips, and began to manufacture bolts 
 and nuts on a small scale. In 1S66 Mr. 
 Oliver's two brothers were admitted to 
 the firm, which continued in business un- 
 til 1S80, when the partners organized the 
 firm of Oliver Brothers & Phillips. In 
 the meantime the business of the firm 
 had been enlarged to an enormous extent, 
 until they were among the largest manu- 
 facturers of bar iron and iron specialties 
 in i he I'nited States. In lSSS the works 
 were incorporated under the name of the 
 Oliver Iron & Steel Company, which is 
 still carried on, Mr. Oliver being Chair- 
 man of the Board of Directors. In the 
 meantime he had become identified with 
 other industrial and railroad affairs in 
 Pittsburg, notably a heavy stockholder 
 In the Pittsburg & Lake Erie Railroad 
 Company, which was the first railroad to 
 actively compete with the Pennsylvania 
 Railroad Company for Pittsburg business 
 and tonnage. Mr. Oliver was one of the

 original projectors of this road, and one 
 of the largest stockholders, and after 
 it was started he added very largely to his 
 holdings. He afterward became largely 
 interested in the Pittsburg & Western 
 Railway, and from 1889 to 1804 he was its 
 President. He is still Chairman of the 
 Board of Directors; also Chairman of the 
 Oliver & Snyder Steel Company, and 
 President of the Oliver Iron Mining Com- 
 pany, which is jointly owned by the Car- 
 negie and Oliver interests, and is the 
 largest producer of iron ore in the world. 
 On the formation of the Republican Party 
 in Pittsburg in 1856, he enthusiastically 
 adopted its principles, and has ever con- 
 tinued an able, consistent and successful 
 advocate of its measures. From 1879 
 to 1882 Mr. Oliver was President of com- 
 mon Councils of Pittsburg. He was dele- 
 gate from Pennsylvania to the Republican 
 National Conventions in 1872, 1876, 1888 
 and 1892, and was a Presidential Elector 
 from the State at large in 1880. In 1882 
 he was selected by President Arthur to 
 represent the iron and steel interests of 
 the country on the commission which 
 was appointed to draw up and submit a 
 new tariff to Congress, and it was largely 
 through his work on this commission that 
 the metal schedule of the tariff of 18S3 
 was so shaped as to be mainly satisfac- 
 tory to the manufacturing and industrial 
 interests of the country. Beyond this 
 he has never held political office. Mr. 
 Oliver was married, in 1S62, to Miss 
 Edith A. Cassidy, of Pittsburg. They

 Rea, President of the Baker Chain and

 PATTERSON, James W.: 
 
 President of the Pittsburg, Carnegie & 
 Western Railroad Company; was born in 
 Pittsburg, Pa., in May, 1847. His an- 
 cestors on the paternal side were from 
 the North of Ireland. His grandfather, 
 Nathaniel Patterson, born in Kentucky, a 
 surveyor by profession, was a participant 
 in the War of 1S12, and his father, J. W. 
 Patterson, was a Major of the Sixty-sec- 
 ond Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers 
 in the Civil War. Graduating from the 
 public schools of Pittsburg, young Pat- 
 terson studied his profession in the em- 
 ploy of his father, in which he attained 
 such proficiency in general engineering 
 and municipal improvements, that, before 
 he reached his twenty-eighth year, he 
 was offered and accepted the position of 
 Principal Assistant Engineer in charge of 
 the construction of Pittsburg's Water 
 Works. In 188S Mr. Patterson was Super- 
 intendent of the U. S. Government build- 
 ings, and has since been engaged in the 
 development of and making preliminary 
 surveys for proposed railways in Western 
 Pennsylvania, and has located many of 
 the railroads now in existence in that 
 growing section of the country. Mr. Pat- 
 terson is now President of the Pittsburg, 
 Carnegie & Western Railroad, a Wabash 
 affiliation, of which he is making a suc- 
 cess, though he makes no pretensions to 
 other claims than that of being a com- 
 mon, everyday civil engineer, still a stu- 
 dent, and aiming to become a "top- 
 notcher" in his profession. He held a po- 
 sition in the Select Councils of Pittsburg 
 from 1877 to 1S79, and is a member of the 
 Monongahela Club of that city. He was 
 married at Pittsburg on Feb. 3, 1870, to 
 Miss Margaret Campbell, to whom thir- 
 teen children were born, eight of whom 
 are living, including J. W. Patterson, Jr., 
 a civil engineer in charge of construc- 
 tion work in Green County, Pa., and F. 
 P. Patterson, dramatic editor of the Pitts- 
 burg, Dispatch. Address, Pittsburg, Pa. 
 
 PATTERSON, Peter: 
 
 Consulting Engineer of the National 
 Tube Company; born in Jedburgh, Scot- 
 land, May 12, 1842. His father was a 
 blacksmith and engineer, and his ances- 
 tors had lived in Scotland for centuries. 
 Mr. Patterson attended the public schools 
 
 of Jedburgh and afterward was appren- 
 ticed in his father's shop. Upon complet- 
 ing his apprenticeship, he went to Edin- 
 burgh, Scotland, where he worked in sev- 
 eral engineering establishments. Then 
 he went to Glasgow, where he was em- 
 ployed in some of the marine engine 
 works. He secured for himself a thor- 
 ough practical training, which has stood 
 him well in hand in his later life. In 
 1S66 Mr. Patterson moved to America, 
 working for a short time in Connecticut, 
 and then in New York City for four years 
 as a machinist. In 1871 he secured a po- 
 sition with the National Tube Works at 
 Boston, Mass., as a machinist, and after 
 six months there he was sent to Mc- 
 Keesport, Pa., to erect the machinery in 
 the mill then building. He was later made 
 foreman machinist, and held that posi- 
 tion a number of years. After assisting 
 in the construction of the National Roll- 
 ing Mills Department of the National Tube 
 Works Company, he became Superintend- 
 ent of the National Tube Works. He 
 satisfactorily filled this position until 1S97, 
 when he became Consulting Engineer of 
 the National Tube Works Company and 
 Manager of the United States Seamless 
 Tube Works. These latter works he de- 
 signed and constructed. Mr. Patterson 
 continued in these positions until he be- 
 came Consulting Engineer of the Nation- 
 al Tube Company. Address, Pittsburg. Pa.

 Mechanical engineer; born in Brooklyn, 
 N. Y., in 1S69. At an early age moved 
 with his parents to McKeesport and ob- 
 tained the first rudiments of his educa- 
 tion there. While attending school he 
 worked during his spare time in the ma- 
 chine shop of the National Tube Com- 
 pany, and also during the summer vaca- 
 tion. After quitting school remained at 
 work a year, in the meantime having 
 taken a course in the engineering de- 
 partment of the Western University of 
 Pennsylvania. Later was transferred to 
 the draughting department and became 
 foreman of the machine shop, from which 
 place he was called to the post of Con- 
 structing Engineer, and later made Su- 
 perintendent of the lap mill. A number 
 of his patents are now used at the 
 works. Mr. Patterson is a member of the

 PATTISON, Robert E,.: 
 
 Ex-Governor of Pennsylvania; born in 
 Quantico, Md., Dec. 8, 1850; son of Rev. 
 Robert H. Pattison, a prominent divine in 
 the Methodist Church. His parents re- 
 moved to Philadelphia when he was six 
 years old, and he was educated in the 
 public schools of that city, delivering the 
 valedictory address of his class on his 
 graduation from the Central High School. 
 Selecting the law for his profession, he 
 entered the office of Lewis C. Cassidy, 
 then one of the most brilliant advocates 
 of the Pennsylvania bar; he was admitted 
 to practice in 1872, and had excellent 
 promise of success, but his fluency as a 
 public speaker led him into the political 
 field as one of the leaders of the Demo- 
 cratic Party in Philadelphia. His grow- 
 ing prominence in the party councils 
 brought him forward as a candidate for 
 Auditor General of the State in 1877, but 
 he was defeated in the convention by 
 William P. Schell. A few months after- 
 ward he was nominated for City Control-

 ler; reform in this department was badly 
 needed, the people were in a mood to re- 
 volt against the dominant party, and Mr. 
 Pattison was elected by 2,000 majority; 
 he was put there to reform the adminis- 
 tration of the office, and he did this so 
 decidedly as to meet the warm approval 
 of the people. At the next election he 
 was again triumphant, this time with 
 13,593 majority, though opposed by a 
 strong candidate. His probity in office 
 Won him the confidence of the people irre- 
 spective of party, and at the election for 
 Governor in 1882 he was nominated and 
 received at the election a majority of 
 40,202 votes over his opponent, he being 
 the first Democratic Governor of Pennsyl- 
 vania for thirty years; in the Guberna- 
 torial chair he succeeded in reducing uie 
 State debt, in holding corporations strictly 
 to the law, repressing extravagant appro- 
 priations, and in managing the State 
 finances with unusual economy. He re- 
 tired in 1886, since no Governor can hold 
 office for two consecutive terms. During 
 the next four years he was engaged in 
 legal practice and was made President of 
 the Chestnut Street National Bank, while 
 as President of the Pacific Railroad Com- 
 mission, to which President Cleveland ap- 
 pointed him, he gave a most valuable re- 
 port of the financial state of that corpor- 
 ation. In 1890 he was again nominated 
 for Governor on a reform platform, and 
 was elected with a majority of 16,554, run- 
 ning 37,000 ahead of his party ticket; this 
 term of office was distinguished by the 
 same qualities which made the former one 
 memorable, and Governor Pattison retired 
 with a national reputation for probity and 
 public spirit. Since then he has practiced 
 law. In 1902 he w>as the Democratic can- 
 didate for Governor, but was defeated.

 Scotland, and educated in the public 
 schools of that place. At fourteen he quit 
 his studies and was apprenticed to a firm

 every detail of this business so thorougly 
 that, on his arrival in New York City, in 
 1S79, he secured a position as linen sales- 
 man with the well known importing house 
 of E. S. Jaffray & Company. Although 
 his sucess in this line was marked, a wider 
 vista of possibility extended before him, 
 and in 1889 he became connected with the 
 Carnegie interests, his first position be- 
 ing in the purchasing department of 
 Carnegie Bros. & Co., Limited. About 
 a year later he went to the sales de- 
 partment, where he established a credit 
 system, which is still in use in the Car- 
 negie business. In 1891 he was chosen a 
 partner and stockholder in Carnegie Bros. 
 & Company, and Carnegie, Phipps & Com-

 gallantry bringing him the brevet rank 
 of Major General, and in 1867 a medal

 der command of Major General Terry, 
 made the successful (and perhaps most 
 brilliant of the war) assault upon Fort 
 Fisher. North Carolina, Jan. 15, 1S65. For 
 his distinguished personal gallantry in 
 this assault, when he was most severely 
 (and it was thought for a time mortally) 
 wounded, and "for gallant and meritori- 
 ous services during the war," Pennypack- 
 er received six brevets or promotions as 
 follows: Brevet Brigadier General United 
 States Volunteers, Jan. 15, 1865; Brigadier 
 General United States Volunteers, Feb. 
 IS, 1S65; Brevet Major General United 
 States Volunteers, March 13, 1S65; Col- 
 onel Thirty-fourth (designation changed 
 to Sixteenth) Infantry United States Ar- 
 my, July 28, 1S66; Brevet Brigadier Gen- 
 eral United States Army, March 2. 1S67, 
 and Brevet Major General United States 
 Army, March 2, 1867. Commissioned Briga- 
 dier General United States Army in May, 
 1904. The Congressional medal of honor 
 was awarded General Pennypacker for 
 "bravery at the battle of Fort Fisher." 
 He was one of the youngest (if not the 
 youngest) general officers of the war, and 
 was the youngest man in the history of 
 the regular army to be commissioned a 
 Colonel and Brevet Major General. His 
 commanding general emphasized the dec- 
 laration that Pennypacker and not himself 
 was the real hero of Fort Fisher, and that 
 his "great gallantry was only equalled 
 by his modesty." Since the war (with 
 the exception of two years on leave in 
 Europe), General Pennypacker has served 
 in the Southern. Southwestern and West- 
 ern States, performing the duties inci- 
 dental to a regimental and post com- 
 
 mander. He was temporarily in com- 
 mand of the District of Mississippi in 
 1S67, the Fourth Military District in 1868, 
 the Department of Mississippi in 1S70, 
 the U. S. troops in New Orleans in 1874, 
 and the Department of the South in 1876. 
 Placed on the retired list of the army in 
 1S83, on account of wounds received, he 
 has since resided in Philadelphia. Ad- 
 dress, 300 South Tenth St., Philadelphia.

 Senator; was born in Baltimore, Md 
 in October, 1841. He served as a soldier

 ten months, until the surrender of Gen 
 Lee at Appomattox. After the close of

 menced his practice in the medical pro- 
 fession. In 1868 he removed to Auburn

 dress, 275 Briggs St., Auburn, Pa. 
 
 QUAY, Matthew Stanley: 
 
 United States Senator; born at Dills- 
 burg, York County, Pa., Sept. 30, 1S33. 
 He was the son of a Presbyterian clergy- 
 man, who left York County when his 
 son was six years of age, going to Pitts- 
 burg and thence to Beaver County, 
 which has since been Senator Quay's 
 headquarters. He received his educa- 
 tion in Jefferson College, graduating at 
 seventeen, and at once beginning the 
 study of law in the office of Judge Ster- 
 rett at Pittsburg. During his interval of 
 legal study he spent nearly a year in the 
 South, where he lectured and taught 
 school in Texas. Returning home and 
 resuming his law studies, he was ad- 
 mitted to the bar in 1S54, and 1855 was 
 appointed Prothonotary of Beaver County, 
 an office to which he was elected in 1855* 
 and again in 1S59. When the Civil War be- 
 gan he resigned from this office and en- 
 listed in the Tenth Pennsylvania Re- 
 serves, in which he was soon made First 
 Lieutenant, and shortly after was ap- 
 pointed by Governor Curtin Commissary 
 General, with the rank of Lieutenant 
 Colonel. In this position he showed such 
 high efficiency that the Governor made 
 him his private secretary. After serv- 
 ing a year in this capacity, in August, 
 1882, he went to the front as Colonel of 
 the 134th Pennsylvania Infantry, spending 
 some months in active service; he was 
 then attacked by typhoid fever, and so 
 reduced in health that his friends in- 
 sisted on his resigning his commission- 
 yet after his discharge from the service 
 he took part as a volunteer in the bat- 
 tle of Fredericksburg and displayed such 
 gallantry that he was awarded the Con- 
 gressional medal of honor. His next 
 employments were as Military State 
 Agent at Washington, and as Military 
 Secretary to the Governor, and in 1864 
 he was elected to the Legislature for 
 
602 
 
 WHO'S WHO IN PENNSYLVANIA. 
 
 Washington and Beaver Counties, serv- 
 ing in that body for several terms. In 
 1S68 he began his special political career 
 as Secretary of the Republican State 
 Central Committee. Possessed of a na- 
 tive taste for journalism, he had proposed 
 during his boyhood trip to the South to 
 start a Union newspaper in Louisiana, 
 and in 1869 he established the Beaver 
 Radical, which under his skillful and able 
 control soon gained a leading place among 
 the political papers of the State. He 
 took a prominent part in the contest, 
 which led to the election as Governor of 
 John F. Hartranft, and was in conse- 
 quence appointed Secretary of State for 
 Pennsylvania, holding this position from 
 1872 to 1878, and subsequently from 1879 
 to 1882. In the interval between these 
 two terms he held the position of Re- 
 corder of Philadelphia. By this time Mr. 
 Quay had become very prominent in the 
 councils of the Republican Party, and 
 w r hen, in 1887, he was nominated for 
 State Treasurer, he was elected by near- 
 ly 50,000 majority. The highest honor 
 the State could confer on him came in 
 18S7, when he was elected to the United 
 States Senate, an exalted position which 
 he has since retained. As Senator his 
 influence and power in the councils of 
 his party became assured and he has 
 since then held an absolute control over 
 the political actions of the Republicans 
 of Pennsylvania, despite all efforts to de- 
 prive him of this power. After his elec- 
 tion to the Senate he was made Chair- 
 man of the Republican National Commit- 
 tee and of the Executive Committee of 
 that body, and had charge of the party 
 canvass which led to the election of Gen. 
 Harrison to the Presidency. In the Na- 
 tional Convention of 1S96 he received the 
 solid vote of the Pennsylvania delegation, 
 and a number of votes from other States 
 for the Presidential nomination. As 
 a member of the Senate he, while not 
 much given to speech making, has made 
 himself one of the most prominent and 
 best known of our national legislators, 
 and no man in the United States has a 
 wider reputation than Senator Quay. In 
 1899 he failed to be re-elected and was 
 tried for misappropriation of public funds 
 while Recorder of Philadelphia, but was 
 acquitted, and was subsequently appoint- 
 ed United States Senator by Governor 
 Stone. This appointment was rejected 
 in the Senate in 1900, but he was subse-

 RItHAKUS, Joseph T.: 
 
 Railroad engineer; born near Rising 
 Sun, Md., Feb. 12, 1845. Studying the art 
 of civil engineering, he entered the ser- 
 vice of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com- 
 pany in 1869 as rodman and transit man 
 in the building of the Altoona shops, and 
 afterward served successively as division 
 supervisor, chief engineer of minor rail- 
 roads and chief of locating engineers, 
 leaving the railroad service in 1S74 to en- 
 ter that of the Cambria Iron Company. 
 Returning to the railroad in 1875 he was 
 again made division supervisor, assistant 
 engineer, and from 1877 to 1883 was prin- 
 cipal engineer of the United Railroads of 
 New Jersey, and till 1885 assistant to the 
 chief engineer. This was followed by the 
 position of assistant chief engineer, and 
 in 1S93 by that of engineer of maintenance 
 of way from Pittsburg and Erie east to 
 Philadelphia, Washington and New York. 
 His activity and ability have been amply 
 shown in the rapid replacement of bridges 
 and roadbed after destructive floods, in 
 which he has never been surpassed. On 
 one occasion he rebuilt one thousand feet 
 of railroad bridge over the swollen Sus- 
 quehanna at Montgomery in three and a 
 half days. A recent remarkable feat 
 was the replacing of the old metal span 
 of the railroad bridge of the New York 
 Division over the Schuylkill at Philadel- 
 phia, the old double-track bridge being 
 moved off and a new one moved in, the 
 distance being twenty-seven feet, in two 
 minutes and a half, trains passing from 
 the old to the new bridge within the brief 
 space of thirteen minutes. Mr. Richards 
 has also long been designing and con- 
 structing engineer for the piers at New 
 York of the International Navigation 
 Company. He is Vice President of the 
 West End Trust Company and Director 
 in other companies in Philadelphia. Past 
 President of the Engineers' Club, and 
 a member of the Historical Society of 
 Pennsylvania and the American Society 
 of Civil Engineers. Address, 210 N. Thir- 
 ty-third St., Philadelphia, Pa. 
 
 RICHARDS, Joseph W.: 
 
 Professor of Metallurgy; born in Old-

 28, 1864. Coming to America with his 
 parents in 1871, he attended the public 
 schools in Philadelphia and the High 
 
 School, graduating from Lehigh University 
 in 1S66 as analytical chemist. The next 
 year was spent as assistant to his father, 
 Mr. Joseph Richards, Superintendent of 
 the Delaware Metal Refinery, Philadelphia. 
 In 1887 became Instructor in the Depart- 
 ment of Metallurgy and Mineralogy of 
 Lehigh University, where he is now Pro- 
 fessor of Metallurgy. Married Miss Arna- 
 marie Gadd, March 12, 1887; they have 
 three children. In 1887 the Philadelphia 
 High School conferred on him the honor- 
 ary degree of Master of Arts. From 1S89 
 to 1S93 he was a post-graduate student 
 at Lehigh University, receiving therefor 
 the degree of Master of Science in 1891 
 and Doctor of Philosophy in 1893, the 
 first person to take that degree at the 
 institution. In 1897 he was Assistant 
 Professor in his department and given a 
 year's leave of absense, which was spent, 
 half at the University of Heidelberg and 
 a semester at Bergakademie at Freiberg. 
 In 1S97 was a member of the Annual As- 
 say Commission to test the coinage; also 
 served as President of the Chemical Sec- 
 tion of the Franklin Institute and also 
 of the Lehigh Valey Section of the Am- 
 erican Chemical Society, and as delegate 
 of the Franklin Instiute to represent it 
 at the International Geological Congress 
 in St. Petersburg. Dr. Richards's interest 
 in aluminum began with his thesis work 
 for the course in Lehigh University in 
 1886, in which connection he experiment- 
 ed on the reducibility of aluminum sul- 
 phide. In connection with his work he 
 collected together all the available litera- 
 ture on the subject which was published 
 in 1887 as "Aluminum." A contributor 
 also to the Aluminum World, Journal of 
 the Franklin Institute and Journal of the 
 American Chemical Society. His pub- 
 lished papers and lectures number nearly

 tro-chemistry, thermo-chemistry, physi- 
 cal chemistry, mineralogy and crystallo- 
 graphy. Address. Bethlehem, Pa.

 RICKETTS, Col. Robert Bruce: 
 
 Born at Orangeville. Columbia County, 
 Pa.. April 29, 1839, of Scotch and Eng- 
 lish descent. He was educated at the

 when the war broke out. He promptly 
 entered the Union service, and, having 
 assisted in recruiting a battery, was com- 
 missioned First Lieutenant of Battery F, 
 First Pennsylvania Artillery, Forty-third 
 
WHO'S WHO IN PENNSYLVANIA. 
 
 625 
 
 Regiment, July S, 1S61; to Captain, May 
 8, 1863; to Major, Dec. 4, 1864; and to 
 Colonel, March 15, 1865. The battery was 
 furnished during- the month of August, 
 1S61, with horses and equipments and 
 four smooth-bore guns. On Sept. 12 the 
 battery was ordered to join Banks's com- 
 mand at Dorranceton, Md., and was from 
 that date in active service up to the 
 close of the war. Colonel Ricketts had 
 his first engagement Dec. 20, 1861, with 
 a body of the enemy's artillery and cav- 
 alry which was attempting the destruc- 
 tion of Dam No. 5 on the Upper Po- 
 tomac. For more than three years from 
 that time on Ricketts was constantly 
 at the front, and his battery became one 
 of the most famous in the Union Army. 
 In almost every one of the engagements 
 of 1862, 1S63 and 1864, in Maryland and 
 Virginia, it was prominently engaged, 
 and at Gettysburg, especially, it did 
 brilliant service in assisting to repel 
 the invasion of the Confederates on the 
 right of the Union lines at Cemetery 
 Ridge. In this fight Ricketts lost forty 
 horses and twenty-three men. His name 
 is so closely linked with that battle, upon 
 which the fate of the nation hung, and 
 who stood by his guns, beating back the 
 fierce onslaughts of the Louisiana Tigers, 
 which threatened every moment to over- 
 ride, like a monumental wave, the gal- 
 lant little band, whose blazing speech 
 sent terror into the hearts of those who 
 endeavored to silence it, is fairly en- 
 titled to the honors won on that bloody 
 occasion, and there is not a soldier in the 
 old Army of the Potomac, in Pennsylvania 
 or out, who does not recall Ricketts 
 whenever he thinks of Gettysburg. When 
 promoted to his Majority he left his bat- 
 tery and was assigned to the command 
 of the Second Army Corps batteries in 
 the Ninth Corps line; afterward as Inspec- 
 tor of Artillery for the Ninth Corps. 
 This last position he held during most 
 of the winter of 1S64-1S65, and while the 
 army was in front of Petersburg, and he 
 retained it until after Lee's surrender. 
 He was then Inspector of the Artillery 
 Reserve under Gen. William Hayes, the 
 reserve then embracing nearly all the bat- 
 teries in the army. During the greater 
 part of the war Ricketts's battery was 
 attached to the Second Corps. What the 
 commander of that corps — the lamented 
 Hancock — thought of him is briefly but 
 eloquently set forth in a note forwarded 
 by him to the Loyal Legion, in answer 
 to an inquiry sent in connection with the 
 
 proposal of Ricketts for membership in 
 that organization. Hancock wrote: "Col- 
 onel Ricketts is well known to me, and 
 served under my command during the 
 war, in the Second Army Corps, Army of 
 the Potomac. He was a gallant and dis- 
 tinguished officer of irreproachable record, 
 and as such I can recommend him for 
 membership in the Military Order of the 
 Loyal Legion." After the war Hancock 
 and others urged him to join the regular 
 service, where an appropriate place could 
 have been easily secured for him, but he 
 declined all these offers and returned to 
 private life. Colonel Ricketts was a Han- 
 cock delegate to the Cincinnati Conven- 
 tion, where the Democracy named the 
 great General for the Presidency. In 1886 
 his nomination as Lieutenant Governor 
 was one of the few instances on record 
 in which the nomination sought the man.

 legiate Institute, Greene County, N. Y. 
 Mr. Roach began his business life in a 
 wholesale coffee establishment, but later 
 entered his father's office, leaving it for 
 a time on account of feeble health to take 
 charge of a large farm owned by his fath- 
 er. The elder Roach conducted an ex- 
 tensive shipbuilding business, and had de- 
 veloped an immense trade in the Etna 
 Iron Works. He purchased the Morgan 
 Iron Works in 1867, and took in his son as 
 partner, the firm name being John Roach 
 & Son. A very large shipbuilding busi- 
 ness grew up under the new firm, over 
 one thousand hands being employed. In 
 1S71, when a large ship yard was pur- 
 chased at Chester, Pa., the son, John B., 
 was placed in charge of this, which was 
 run under the title of the Delaware River 
 Iron Ship Building and Engine Works. 
 Here, at times, more than two thousand 
 hands were employed, and a great ship- 
 building plant was developed under Mr. 
 Roach's supervision. Many large iron 
 vessels were built for the Pacific Mail, the 
 Mallory and various other steamship com- 
 panies, and in 1SS3 the firm contracted to 
 build the cruisers Chicago, Boston, At- 
 lanta and Dolphin, the pioneer ships of 
 the new American Navy. A hostile Naval 
 Board refused to accept the Dolphin in 
 1SS5, on the plea that the contract was 
 not binding, the result being the ruin of 
 John Roach's business and his death. The 
 company was now reorganized, John B. 
 Roach becoming President of the Dela- 
 ware River Works, and Vice President of 
 the Morgan Iron Company, and the busi- 
 ness has grown to be very prosperous, 
 many large vessels having been built.

 Snowden, Surgeon under General Jack- 
 son, and a descendant of Judge John 
 Snowden, an early settler in Philadel- 
 phia and New Jersey, who held title to 
 his lands in Philadelphia from the Duke 
 of York, and a daughter of Archibald 
 Louden, of Cumberland County. After a 
 preliminary academic education he en- 
 tered Jefferson College in Western Penn- 
 sylvania, from which he received the hon- 
 orary degrees of Master of Arts and Doc- 
 tor of Laws. Studied in the Law Depart- 
 ment of the University of Pennsylvania 
 
 and was subsequently admitted to the 
 bar. At the request of his uncle, Hon. 
 James Ross Snowden, then Director of 
 the United States Mint, he entered that 
 institution as Register; then promoted to 
 Chief Coinership. In 1877 was appointed 
 Postmaster of Philadelphia by President 
 Grant, but returned to the Mint service 
 as Superintendent by the voluntary act 
 of President Hayes, after having twice 
 declined the appointment of Director of 
 all the mints. He is an authority on all 
 subjects relating to coins and coinage, 
 and under his superintendence the whole 
 mechanical appliances were brought up to 
 tne highest point of efficiency. His able 
 plan and management of the great parade 
 on Dec. 16, 1879, in honor of General 
 Grant's return from his journey around 
 the world, was a demonstration of his 
 executive ability. Again, in 1887, he or- 
 ganized the great civic parade, under the 
 auspices of the Constitutional Centennial 
 Commission. At the outbreak of the 
 Civil War he organized, partly clothed 
 and fed for weeks a regiment, and was 
 commissioned its Lieutenant Colonel. 
 Subsequently participated in the skir- 
 mishes preliminary to the battle of Get- 
 tysburg as a member of the First City 
 Troop of Philadelphia, and was commis- 
 sioned its commanding officer in 1877. 
 As an effective and eloquent public speak- 
 er he has but few equals. In 1889 was 
 appointed Minister Resident and Consul- 
 General to Greece, Roumania and Servia, 
 by President Harrison. Shortly thereafter 
 Congress raised the grade to that of En- 
 voy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo- 
 tentiary. He was later voluntarily hon- 
 ored by a transfer from Athens to Madrid, 
 where he successfully settled grave diplo- 
 matic questions. The Queen Regent con- 
 ferred upon him the Grand Cordon of Isa- 
 bella the Catholic, the King of Greece the 
 Grand Cordon of the Saviour, and the 
 King of Roumania the Grand Cordon of 
 the Crown of Roumania. Colonel Snow-

 Manufacturer; born in Henrietta, Mon- 
 roe County, N. Y., May 20, 1834, one of a 
 family of twelve children, his father hav- 
 ing been a farmer; of German and Dutch 
 ancestry. His father lived to the age 
 of eighty-six years. He was educated 
 at Saratoga Springs. N. Y., and lived 
 there until he was thirty-one years old, 
 serving for a number of years as General 
 
 Passenger Agent of the railroad running 
 through Saratoga. In 1865 he removed 
 to Reading, Pa., to engage in the manu- 
 facture of iron nuts. Although he had 
 no previous experience in mechanical in- 
 dustry, he invented and patented in 1867 
 an improved machine for the manufacture 
 of hot pressed nuts, which is used to 
 this day, and he has sold many of these 
 machines to his competitors in the same 
 business. He has also invented a sur- 
 face-grinding machine for grinding hard 
 metals. These two inventions brought 
 him conspicuously before the industrial 
 public and placed him in the front rank of 
 manufacturers of hot-punched nuts. Many 
 other improvements are the result of his 
 inventive genius. Since 1867 he has ad- 
 ded many additional departments to his 
 works. On Feb. 6, 1891, his entire works 
 in Reading were destroyed by fire, but in 
 ten days he had resumed operations amid 
 the debris, and the establishment was 
 speedily rebuilt. In 1887 he established 
 branch works in Kansas City, Mo.. The 
 products of his establishments are shipped 
 to all parts of the world. The Reading 
 plant has been consolidated with the Am- 
 erican Iron and Steel Manufacturing Com- 
 pany, of which Mr. Sternbergh is Presi- 
 dent. He was President for three years 
 of the Reading Board of Trade; is ruling 
 elder in the First Presbyterian Church of 
 Reading, and for eighteen years was Su- 
 perintendent of the Sunday school; is a 
 Director of the Second National Bank of 
 Reading, and has been President of the 
 Kansas City Bolt and Nut Company since 
 it was founded in 18S7. In 1862 he mar- 
 ried Miss Harriet M. May, of Southbridge, 
 Mass., since deceased. They had five 
 children, of whom one son and a daugh- 
 ter survive. His second wife was Miss 
 Mary Candace Dodds, of North Hero, Vt. 
 They have five children, three sons and 
 two daughters. Address, Reading, Pa.

 STETSON, .lull 11 B.: 
 
 Manufacturer; born in Orange, N. J., 
 May 5, 1830. His father was a hatter in 
 a small way, and the son learned the 
 same trade, and continued to work at it 
 till 1S65, when he decided to go to Phila- 
 delphia and attempt to do business for 
 himself. Having no capital, he began in 
 a very small way, making his hats in a 
 single small room and hoarding his profits 
 with great care. But his business soon 
 grew, larger quarters were taken, and 
 soon the Stetson hats became well known. 
 In two years' time the firm of John B. 
 Stetson & Co. had reached an annual 
 business of $80,000. The growth continued 
 and in time the Stetson hats, with his 
 enterprise behind them, were selling 
 everywhere, the value of the annual prod- 
 uct reaching $2,500,000 a year. His work- 
 men are members of various beneficial 
 and other societies established by him 
 for their advantage and social benefit, and 
 the whole concern is carried on under the 
 happiest and most generous conditions. 
 Purchasing some property in De Land, 
 Fla., he became interested in a struggling 
 school there and came generously to its 
 aid. This has grown into the John B. 
 Stetson University, with buildings that 
 cost more than $200,000 and a large fac- 
 ulty and enrollment of pupils. His spirit 
 of charity is felt in the operations of 
 several Philadelphia benevolent associa- 
 tions. Address, 1108 Chestnut St., Phila-

 THOMAS, Hampton Sidney: 
 
 Soldier; born in Quakertown, Bucks 
 County, Pa., Nov. 3, 1837, being a son 
 of Benjamin F., and grandson of Dr. 
 David Thomas, of Chester County, Pa; his 
 mother was a daughter of Jesse Baker, 
 of Loudoun County, Va., and her mother 
 was Gertrude Bullman, a daughter of 
 Judge Bullman, of Phillipsburg, N. J., and 
 of Revolutionary fame. When Gov. Cur- 
 tin issued his call for volunteers, April 
 18, 1S61, Col. Thomas joined a company of 
 soldiers at Westchester, Pa. He was 
 mustered in April 22, 1S61, for three 
 months, and his company was assigned to 
 the Ninth Pennsylvania Infantry. His 
 first promotion wast that of Corporal. 
 Two days before he was mustered out of 
 the infantry he enrolled himself in a com- 
 pany of cavalry, and was made a Ser- 
 geant; this company was assigned to the 
 First Pennsylvania Cavalry. He was then 
 promoted Second Lieutenant, and a short 
 time afterward First Lieutenant. He was 
 detailed by Colonel Bayard as Acting Ad- 
 jutant of the regiment, and in the spring 
 of 1862 was appointed Acting Assistant 
 Adjutant General of Bayard's brigade of 
 cavalry, the first brigade of cavalry or- 
 ganized in the Army of the Pomotac or 
 in the United States Army. When Col. 
 Bayard was appointed Brigadier General, 
 May 1, 1862, Thomas was appointed Cap- 
 tain. He commanded his squadron until 
 April, 1S63, when he was appointed one of 
 the Assistant Inspectors of Cavalry, and 
 assigned to the staff of Gen. D. McM. 
 Gregg. He remained on staff duty until 
 October, 1864, when he was ordered to 
 commond his regiment, which then num- 
 bered five hundred men, mostly veterans. 
 Col. Thomas's first engagement was at 
 Falling Waters, Va., July 1, 1861. He was 
 subsequently engaged at Dranesville, Va., 
 Nov. 27, and Dec. 20, 1S61; at Falmouth, 
 Harrisonburg, Cross-Keys, Cedar Moun- 
 tain, Brandy Station (slightly wounded), 
 Beverly Ford, Waterloo Bridge, Thorough- 
 fare Gap, Gainesville, Second Bull Run 
 (slightly wounded), Rappahannock Sta- 
 tion, and Fredericksburg, Dec. 11, 12, 
 1S62. In 1863 was engaged in Stoneman's 
 raid, Brandy Station, Rappahannock Sta- 
 tion, Beverly Ford, Aldie, Upperville, 
 Ashby's Gap, Middleburg, Gettysburg, 
 
 second and third days (slightly wounded), 
 Fairfield, Shepherdstown, Culpeper, Rac- 
 coon Ford, Jeffersonton, Warrenton, Sul- 
 phur Springs, Auburn (was severely in- 
 jured), Mine Run, and New Hope Church. 
 In 1864 was engaged at Todd's Tavern, 
 Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Sheridan's raid, 
 Yellow Tavern, Richmond Heights, Mead- 
 ow Bridge, Haw's Shops, Barker's Mills, 
 Cold Harbor, Trevillian Station, White 
 House, St. Mary's Church, Jones's Bridge, 
 Lee's Mills, Deep Bottom, Malvern and 
 Gravel Hills, Strawberry Plains, Six- 
 Mile House, Weldon Railroad, Reams's 
 Station, Arthur's Swamp, Hatcher's Run, 
 Davis Farm, Stony Creek Station, Belle- 
 field, and Dabney's Mills. In 1865 was en- 
 gaged at Dinwiddie Court House, Five 
 Forks, Chamberlain's Bed, and from 
 Paine's Cross-Roads to Jetersville. This 
 was a running engagement from sunrise 
 to sunset, and he led six charges against 
 the enemy during, the day, losing a horse 
 killed in each charge. His command 
 captured the celebrated battery of Arm- 
 strong field guns and eleven rebel bat- 
 tleflags. Five of the flags were turned 
 over to the government, but six were kept 
 by individuals. In the last charge at Je- 
 tersville on that day, April 5, 1S65, he had 
 his right foot shot away. At that time 
 his lineal rank was that of Major. He 
 was brevetted Colonel "for great gallant- 
 ry in action." Gen. Davies, in his final 
 report of the operations of his cavalry 
 from March 28, to the surrender of Gen. 
 Lee, says, "Major Thomas, commanding 
 the First Pennsylvania Cavalry, was se- 
 verely wounded while leading his com- 
 mand in a charge at Jetersville, April 5, 
 
 1565, and has lost a leg from the injury 
 he received. Of this officer I cannot 
 speak too highly. Foremost in every 
 fight, brave and daring, yet possessed of 
 most excellent judgment, his loss to the 
 service is irreparable. In every action he 
 was distinguished. The success of the 
 attack on the train at Painesville is 
 greatly due to him, and with subsequent 
 movements of that day his services were 
 most valuable." He Was mustered out of 
 service in August, 1S65. He was ap- 
 pointed a Lieutenant of Cavalry in the 
 United States Army, and was assigned to 
 the Seventh United States Cavalry, but 
 resigned his appointment on account of 
 his wounds not having thoroughly healed. 
 He has been a member of the Military 
 Order of the Loyal Legion since October, 
 
 1566. Address, Fairmount Ave., Philadel- 
 phia, Pa.

 committees which had important work to 
 perform. Mr. "Walton was one of the 
 prominent members of the House and in 
 1S95 was elected Speaker of that body 
 without Republican opposition. In 189S 
 he was appointed Solicitor to the Sheriff 
 of Philadelphia County, which position he 
 resigned because of his election for the 
 fourth time to the Legislature. The abil- 
 ity with which he presided over the 
 House in 1895 suggested him as a candi- 
 date for his old place in 1903, and when 
 the Republican caucus met all the candi- 
 dates for the office had withdrawn, and 
 Mr. Walton was the second time com- 
 plimented with a unanimous nomination 
 by his party. At this session he made a 
 great record for physical endurance, the 
 dispatch of business and the maintenance 
 of order. He was punctual in his at- 
 tendance and never left the chair when 
 legislation of importance was under con- 
 sideration. It is no flattery to him to de- 
 clare that no presiding officer of the 
 House ever displayed more signal ability 
 in the responsible position. Mr. Walton 
 is a member of the Union League of 
 Philadelphia, and a member and ex-Pres- 
 ident of the Five o'Clock Club. He is a 
 member of the Historical Society of 
 Pennsylvania, the Penn Club and a score 
 of other prominent societies and organi- 
 zations. As a campaigner he has shown 
 great effectiveness. He was married in 
 1SS2 to Miss Ella G. Norman and is the 
 head of a family of four daughters and 
 three sons. Residence, Torresdale, Pa ;

 WALTON, Jolin M.: 
 
 City Controller; born in Stroudsburg,

 School, Lititz, Pa.; went to Philadelphia 
 with his father, who became Treasurer in 
 the United States Mint; became an of- 
 ficer in the Fourth United States Cavalry, 
 at first as Second Lieutenant; in 1S71, 
 First Lieutenant; in 1S78 retired as Cap- 
 tain in conseauence of disability received 
 in the service. Making Philadelphia his 
 place of residence, he was elected to the 
 City Council in 1882, and served in that 
 body till 1895, being a member of the 
 Highway, Survey and Finance Commit- 
 tees. While a Republican, he was not a 
 partisan, and was endorsed by the Com- 
 
 mittee of One Hundred and the Commit- 
 tee of Fifty. He withdrew from the 
 Council to accept the office of City Con- 
 troller, to which he was elected in 1895, 
 and to which he has been successively 
 re-elected, performing the duties of the 
 office with high financial ability and un- 
 questioned integrity. Captain Walton is 
 a number of the Union League, the 
 Grand Army, the Society of Veterans of 
 Indian Wars, the Masonic Order and sev- 
 eral political clubs. He has been Presi- 
 dent of the Hamilton Whist Club. Ad-

 WAMHAKER, John: 
 
 Merchant; born in Philadelphia, July 
 11. 1S38. He was descended on his fath- 
 er's side from the Palatines who left 
 Germany during the religious persecution 
 of 1730-1740, and on his mother's silft 
 from the Huguenots who left France for 
 the same reason. His father was a 
 brickmaker, and the boy during his school 
 life had his share of work to do in the 
 brick yard; he left school at fourteen 
 years of age and became an errand boy 
 in a book store at $1.50 per week; then 
 his ability as a salesman soon augmented 
 his salary to $4.00 per week, and he took 
 advantage of the opportunities of im- 
 proving his education offered by the 
 Young Men's Christian Association; his 
 activity in this association brought him 
 the position of paid secretary in 1857, 
 but he resigned in 1861 to found a 
 clothing business with his brother-in-law, 
 Nathan Brown, at Sixth and Market 
 Streets, which is still the elothing firm 
 of Wanamaker & Brown; they began 
 in a very modest way, but the busi- 
 ness prospered, the ill health of Mr. 
 Brown throwing the burden of the labor 
 on Mr. Wanamaker. In 1868, when Mr. 
 Brown died, the business was firmly es- 
 tablished, and the house widely known 
 from its liberal method of advertising; 
 in 1869 a new establishment was opened 
 in Chestnut street, under the title of John 
 Wanamaker & Co., his brother Samuel 
 being in charge; by 1871, Oak Hall 
 as the Market street store was called, had 
 spread over a space formerly occupied 
 by forty-five tenants, and in 1875 Mr.

 Wanamaker purchased the old Pennsyl- 
 vania Railroad freight depot at Thir- 
 teenth and Market streets, where he 
 (opened a clothing, hat and shoe store in 
 1S76, and in 1877 extended it into a gen- 
 eral dry goods store, embracing almost all 
 i classes of retail goods; the great success 
 of the new establishment was due to the 
 "new kind of a store" upon a system 
 never known before which its proprie- 
 tor began, which brought him fortune 
 in the end. His powers as a business 
 organizer were extraordinary, and the 
 Grand Depot in time grew to be 
 a vast and stirring mart of trade, all un- 
 der his close supervision. In the conduct 
 of his business he introduced the profit- 
 sharing system, and is said in the years 
 18S8-1889 to have distributed more than 
 $100,000 among his employees. The Phil- 
 adelphia store was followed, some years 
 after its establishment, by a similar one 
 ,in the A. T. Stewart building in New 
 (York, which has become equally pros- 
 1 perous. In 1904 he began to rebuild his 
 Philadelphia store on a large scale, re- 
 placing the old building with one twelve 
 stories high and covering a city square. 
 He has shown himself very active in other 
 ^directions; he lent important aid to the 
 'war-time Sanitary Fair in Logan square, 
 was one of the organizers of the Chris- 
 tian Commission, and took part in various 
 charitable movements; he served efficient- 
 ly on the F'inance Committee of the 
 Centennial Exposition of 1876, lent his 
 aid to the William Penn anniversary cel- 
 ebration of 1882, and was prominent in 
 the movement for a pure water supply 
 in 1SS6-18S7. A member of the Presby- 
 terian Church, his talent for organization 
 showed itself strikingly in the Bethany 
 Sunday School, of which he took charge 
 in 1858 with, twenty-seven scholars, but 
 which rapidly outgrew its accommoda- 
 tions, and in time became one of the 
 largest in the country, with over 2,600 
 students; he aided the Young Men's 
 Christian Association in erecting its new 
 building and became its President, and 
 is connected with the Williamson Trade 
 School and other associations. He de- 
 clined to become a candidate for Mayor 
 and representative on the Republican 
 ticket when offered him, but he took an 
 active part in the 1S88 Presidential cam- 
 paign, and accepted the position of Post- 
 master General in President Harrison's 
 Cabinet; this he filled very efficiently 
 during the four years of the Administra- 
 tion, 1889-1893, handling its affairs with 
 
 his great business acumen, and introduc- 
 ing important improvements and econo- 
 mies in the service. At a later date he 
 became very active in independent Re- 
 publican politics, vigorously combating 
 M. S. Quay in the contest for the United 
 States Senatorship and making many 
 trenchant and effective speeches. On the 
 whole, he has made himself a power in 
 the business world and has played an im- 
 portant part in administrative and politi- 
 cal affairs.

 WANNER, Peter A.: 
 
 Attorney-at-law; born near Kutztown, 
 Berks County, Pa., Dec. 1, 1840; in boy- 
 hood he worked on his father's farm, 
 and had scanty school opportunities, yet 
 made such use of them that he was able 
 to serve as teacher in 1856, 1857 and 1858. 
 In 1859 he entered Union Seminary, New 
 Berlin, Pa. In 1860 he became a student 
 and teacher in Fairview Seminary at 
 Kutztown, entered Franklin and Mar- 
 shall College at Lancaster in 1862, grad- 
 uating in 1865. He was admitted to the 
 bar at Lancaster two months after grad- 
 uating; in other words, he crowded a col- 
 lege and legal course into three years, 
 and began to practice law at Reading, Pa., 
 during the latter part of 1865. and soon 
 acquired a lucrative business. He became 
 prominent in the Democratic Party, by 
 whom he was elected District Attorney 
 for Berks County in 1871; he became 
 County Solicitor after his term had ex- 
 pired; was a candidate for Congress in 
 18i8 against Hon. Hiester Clymer and 
 came within a few hundred votes of de- 
 feating him at the primaries. In 1879 he 
 became interested in the Mellert Foundry 
 and Machine Company, also in the Read- 
 ing Foundry Company in 1885, and made a 
 great deal of money in connection with 
 these concerns. In 1893 the concerns be- 
 came heavy losers, involving Mr. Wanner 
 to a very large extent financially, so 
 that he was compelled to go back again 
 to the bar in 1902, in which he has since 
 made the best possible efforts to obtain 
 again a portion of his former practice. 
 He has also been largely interested in the 
 construction and maintenance of water- 
 works of late years, having been the Presi- 
 dent off and on of quite a number of 
 them. He was also a candidate again for 
 District Attorney during the spring of this 
 year (1904), but was defeated after a vig- 
 orous and interesting campaign. Address,

 WEAVER, John: 
 
 Mayor of Philadelphia; born in England 
 in 1862; educated partly in that country 
 and partly in Philadelphia, whither his 
 parents moved when he was eight years 
 old. His school life ended at thirteen 
 years of age, when he became an errand 
 boy in an office, but while working as a 
 clerk in various stores he studied short- 
 hand writing, and learned it sufficientiy 
 to take a position as a. law stenographer; 
 while thus engaged he read law diligently, 
 and also took a night course of study 
 at Temple College. During this period 
 he became stenographer and recorder to 
 the Law Academy, of which, later on, he 
 was successively Treasurer, Vice Presi- 
 dent, and President. His admission to 
 the bar, thirteen years ago, was followed 
 by an active practice, his knowledge of 
 business aiding to bring many commer- 
 
 cial and corporation cases and the repu- 
 tation of one of the brightest and most 
 successful men at the Philadelphia bar. 
 His oratorical prowess helped him not 
 only in the courts, but won him a stand- 
 ing as a ready and efficient political 
 speaker. In 1901 he was given the nom- 
 ination of the Republican Party for Dis- 
 trict Attorney on the double basis of 
 honesty and ability, and he was duly 
 elected. His active and unpartisan ser- 
 vice in this office made him very popular, 
 and in 1903, when there was a vigorous 
 public demand for an honest and inde- 
 pendent city executive, he was selected 
 by the Republican leaders in response to 
 the public demand, and was elected 
 Mayor by a large majority. Entering of- 
 fice unpledged to party control, he has 
 done his utmost to give the city an hon- 
 est and progressive administration and to 
 check the long prevailing reign of politi- 
 cal venality. Mayor Weaver is a mem-

 WESTIXGHOUSE, George: 
 
 Inventor of the celebrated Westing- 
 house air brake; was born at Central 
 Bridge, Schoharie County, N. Y., on the 
 6th of October, 1846; his parents were 
 George and Emeline Vedder Westing- 
 house. The father's ancestors came from 
 Germany and settled in Massachusetts 
 and "Vermont before the Revolution; the 
 mother's were Dutch-English. Mr. West- 
 inghouse's father was an inventor, who, 
 in 1856, removed with his family to Sche- 
 nectady, New York, where he established 
 the Schenectady Agricultural Works. 
 The boy attended the public and high 
 schools of the town, spending much of 
 his leisure time, after studies, in his fath- 
 er's machine shop, and the experience de- 
 rived therefrom enabled him, before he 
 was fifteen, to invent and make a rotary 
 engine, and also to pass, at an early age. 
 the examination for the position of Assist- 
 ant Engineer in the United States Navy. 
 From June, 1863, to June, 1865, he served, 
 first in the army, and afterward in the 
 navy. At the close of the war he ten- 
 dered his resignation, and was honor- 
 ably discharged August 1, 1865. On his 
 return he entered Union College, where 
 
 he remained till the close of his sopho- 
 more year, when he abadoned his classi- 
 cal studies and entered upon active life, to 
 find a wider scope for his inventive gen- 
 ius. In 1865, he invented a device for re- 
 placing railroad cars upon the track. 
 Going to Troy one day, a delay,' caused 
 by a collision between two freight trains, 
 suggested to Mr. Westinghouse the idea 
 that a brake under the control of the 
 engineer might have prevented the acci- 
 dent, and in that moment one of the 
 most useful and beneficent devices known 
 to mankind was born. Among the de- 
 vices which his mind suggested, was a 
 brake actuated by the cars closing 
 upon each other. His first plan proving 
 impracticable, the use of compressed air 
 suggested itself, being free from many 
 of the objections found in using steam. 
 Drawings of the air-pump, brake cylin- 
 ders and valves were made, but consider- 
 able time elapsed before a practical trial 
 of the brake was obtained. The first 
 patent was issued April 13..1S69, and The 
 Westinghouse Air-Brake Company was 
 formed on the 20th of July following. 
 The first orders received for the ap- 
 paratus were from the Michigan Central 
 Railway and the Chicago & Northwest- 
 ern Railway. Many changes and im- 
 provements were being made in the brake 
 all the while, the business flourished, and 
 the manufacturing works, begun in 1S69, 
 were completed in 1870. In 1871 Mr. 
 Westinghouse went abroad to introduce 
 the air-brake in England — a difficult 
 problem, as the trains in Europe had 
 hand-brakes upon only what were known 
 as "brake-vans,'' there being no brakes 
 upon the other vehicles. Not only did 
 this require the spending of seven years 
 in Europe, between 1871 and 1882, but it 
 taxed his inventive ability considerably 
 to meet the new conditions of railroad 
 practice. In the meantime, Mr. West- 
 inghouse invented the "automatic" feat- 
 ure of the brake which overcame the im- 
 perfections in the first form, and re- 
 moved the danger from the parting of 
 trains on steep grades. In 1886, he in- 
 vented the "quick-action" brake, the im- 
 provement being made in what is known 
 as the "triple-valve." By this improved 
 valve it became practicable to apply all 
 the brakes on a train of fifty freight 
 cars in two seconds. The automatic and 
 quick-action brakes are regarded by ex- 
 perts as far surpassing the original brake 
 in ingenuity and inventive genius, being . 
 not mere improvements, but distinct in-

 ventions of the highest class, unique and 
 remarkable. In 1883, Mr. Westinghouse 
 became interested in the operation of 
 railway signals and switches by com- 
 pressed air, and developed and patented 
 the system now manufactured by the 
 Union Switch and Signal Company. The 
 "Pneumatic Interlocking Switch and 
 Signal Apparatus," whereby all the sig- 
 nals and switches are operated from a 
 igiven point, using compressed air as the 
 motive power, and electricity to bring 
 ithat power into operation, has been suc- 
 cessfully introduced in Boston, Jersey 
 City, Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis 
 land many other places. Mr. Westing- 
 ! house was among the first to foresee the 
 i advantages of alternating current as a 
 1 means of transmitting electricity over 
 ilong distances, and the fight to introduce 
 this system was carried on by him sin- 
 igle-handed against incredible opposition. 
 I The induction motor, the invention of 
 which was the outcome of the genius of 
 Nikola Tesla, was put on a commercial 
 I footing by Mr. Westinghouse. Among his 
 accomplishments in the electrical field 
 may be. mentioned the unit switch sys- 
 tem of multiple control for the simulta- 
 ineous operation and control from one 
 common point of all the motors in a 
 train; and the new single phase motor 
 ifor street railway service, this use of 
 electricity being heretofore confined to 
 direct current. The Westinghouse Elec- 
 tric & Manufacturing Company was or- 
 ganized in 1886 for the manufacture of 
 electrical apparatus, and the business of 
 this company has developed so rapidly 
 as to now necessitate the employment at 
 its East Pittsburg plant of about ten 
 thonsand hands. The electrical business 
 developed by Mr. Westinghouse has 
 found its way to foreign territory, and 
 extensive works have been established at 
 Trafford Park, Manchester, England, and 
 at Le Havre, France. Besides the work 
 already described Mr. Westinghouse has 
 taken a foremost part in the development 
 of the gas engine and the steam turbine, 
 both of which are built by The Westing- 
 house Machine Company, at East Pitts- 
 burg, Pa. The Sawyer-Man incandescent 
 lamp, the Nernst lamp and the Cooper- 
 Hewitt mercury vapor lamp were all put 
 on a commercial basis by Mr. Westing- 
 house. He was also the moving spirit in 
 the exploitation of natural gas in the 
 Pittsburg district, his special merit com- 
 ing from working out its piping over long 
 distances, which was at first thought im- 
 
 possible. He is President of almost all 
 of about thirty companies, with which he 
 is connected, the most of which bear his 
 name. Prominent among these compa- 
 nies are The Westinghouse Air Brake 
 Company, Wilmerding, Pa.; The Westing- 
 house Brake Company, Limited, London, 
 England; Westinghouse Electric & Manu- 
 facturing Company, East Pittsburg, Pa.; 
 The British Westinghouse Electric & 
 Manufacturing Company, Limited, Lon-

 bwitch & Signal Company, Swissvale, 
 Pa. ; Pittsburg Meter Company, East 
 Pittsburg, Pa.; Canadian Westinghouse 
 Company, Limited, Hamilton, Canada;

 The combined capital of these compa- 
 nies is about $100,000,000. Was married 
 Aug. S, 1S67, at Brooklyn, N. Y., to Mar- 
 guerite Erskine Walker. They have one 
 son. George Westinghouse, Jr., who is a 
 student at Yale University. Mr. West- 
 inghouse has residences at Pittsburg, Pa., 
 Washington, D. C, and Lenox, Mass.

 YOUNG, James Rankin: 
 
 Journalist and legislator; born in Phila- 
 delphia, March 10, 1847; brother of John 
 Russell Young, the late famous newspaper 
 correspondent, a founder and one of the 
 Presidents of the Philadelphia Union 
 League, and ex-Minister to China. Mr. 
 Young was educated in the public schools 
 of Philadelphia, being a school boy at the 
 time of the invasion of Pennsylvania by 
 General Lee, when he ran away and 
 joined the Gray Reserves. He and his 
 classmates who accompanied him were 
 discharged as too young, but he tried to 
 enlist again, and finally became clerk to 
 Colonel J. B. Sheridan, Paymaster of the 
 Army; he remained with him till after 
 the war, and in 1S65 entered the field of 
 journalism as a reporter. In 1865-1866 
 he made a tour of the South, writing let- 
 ters to the New York Tribune, and on 
 his return became one of the founders of 
 the Philadelphia Evening Star, of which

 he afterward became owner and remained 
 so during its existence. In June, 1866, he 
 succeeded Carl Schurz as Washington 
 correspondent of the New *ork Tribune, 
 a position in which he remained for five 
 years, withdrawing from it at length to 
 devote his attention to the Evening Star, 
 to which he wrote for many years a 
 series of striking letters over the signa- 
 ture of "S. M." There has been nothing 
 more graceful, attractive and informing 
 than these letters in the history of Wash- 
 ington correspondence, and their reputa- 
 tion became national. In December, 1873, 
 Mr. Young was elected Chief Executive 
 Clerk of the Senate, a position which he 
 held till 1879, after which he was made 
 Chief Clerk of the Department of Jus- 
 tice; he was re-elected Chief Clerk of the 
 Senate in 1883, and held the position till 
 the office was abolished in 1892. He at- 
 tended all the Republican National Con- 
 ventions from 1864 onward. In 1897 he 
 was elected a member of Congress to rep- 
 resent the Fourth Pennsylvania District, 
 and served for three terms, his member- 
 ship ending on March 4, 1903. He was 
 Vice President of the commission to lo- 
 cate the positions of Pennsylvania troops 
 in the battles of Chickamauga, Chatta- 
 nooga and Lookout Mountain. He has 
 been a member of the Union League of 
 Philadelphia, and belongs to the Pen and 
 Pencil, Stylus, and Clover Clubs, and the 
 Masonic Order. He married Miss Mary 
 Barclay of Washington in 1874. Address,

 Council from 1684 to 1693. His brother 
 
 William W. Griscom is well known as 
 the inventor of the important electrical 
 device known as the Griscom motor and 
 for his experiments in the improvement 
 of storage batteries for street car use. 
 Mr. Griscom was educated in the Philadel- 
 phia public schools and in a Friends' 
 Academy, and in 1857 became clerk in 
 the shipping house of Peter Wright & 
 Sons. Here his unusual energy and abil- 
 ity brought him rapid advancement, and 
 in 1863, when but twenty-two years of 
 age, he was admitted to membership in 
 the firm. The year before he married 
 Frances C. Biddle, and one of his sons, 
 Clpment A. Biddle, Jr., now occupies a 
 prominent place in the International Nav- 
 igation Company. Mr. Griseom's impor- 
 tance in the firm grew as the older mem- 
 bers gradually left the direction of affairs 
 to his active hands, and when the Inter- 
 national Navigation Company was founded 
 by the firm in 1871 he was made its Vice 
 President. This company bought out the 
 Inman Line, renaming it the American 
 Line, to whose vessels it added the great 
 steamers City of Paris and City of New 
 York, built for it by the Cramp shipbuild- 
 ing firm; it also obtained nearly all the 
 stock of the Red Star Line, a Belgian cor- 
 poration, of the International Navigation 
 Company. Limited, of Liverpool, and of 
 the Empire Transportation Company of 
 Seattle. Mr. Griscom succeeded James A. 
 Wright as President of the company in 
 1888, a position which he still holds, the 
 name of the company having been 
 changed in September, 1902, to the Inter- 
 national Mercantile Marine Company, and 
 its capital increased so as to obtain con- 
 trol of the White Star and several other 
 lines. This has been accomplished, and 
 the company now handles an immense 
 fleet of ocean steamers. In addition to 
 his shipping interests Mr. Griscom is a 
 Director of the Pennsylvania Railroad 
 Company, the United States Steel Com- 
 pany, the William Cramp Ship and Engine 
 Building Company, the Electric Company 
 of America, the National Transit Com- 
 pany, the United Gas Improvement Com- 
 pany, several banking and trust com- 
 panies, and other corporations. He has 
 been President of the Societies of Naval 
 Architects and Marine Engineers since 
 their foundation. His club connections 
 are with the Philadelphia Club, Ritten- 
 house Club, Union League, Farmers' Club, 
 and the New York Yacht Club. He re- 
 sides in a handsome rural mansion, 
 "Dolobran," near the Haverford station 
 of the Pennsylvania Railroad, where he

 Selecting the law as his profession, he

 THERE are many books about India, but for the most part they tell the reader 
 too little or else are technical works or bulky ponderous volumes. Mr. Forbes- 
 Lindsay's work, "India, Past and Present," within a moderate compass supplies a 
 comprehensive view of one of the most ancient and interesting countries in the 
 world, with accurate information as to its past and present condition and picturesque 
 glimpses of its fascinating history. 
 
 It is written from a personal knowledge acquired during the author's years of 
 residence in different parts of the Indian Empire supplemented by a thorough study 
 of the works of the best authorities. There is no other popular work covering the 
 same ground, and the reader will acquire a general idea of the whole country in its 
 physical characteristics ; its diversified and often magnificent scenery ; its remark, 
 able temples and palaces and other buildings; its antiquities; the many races by 
 which it has been peopled ; and its extremely interesting history.

 MISS HARTSHORNE writes 
 of Japan and the Japanese 
 people from an intimate knowl- 
 edge of her subject at first hands, 
 having been a resident of the 
 country and brought closely into 
 touch with native life. The book 
 will take rank as a thorough exposition of the Island Kingdom, and is written in 
 a charming style.

WHO'S WHO IN NEW YORK, 
 STATE AND CITY 
 
 Is a handsome volume of 800 pages, strongly bound in buckram, contain- 
 ing; authentic biographies of resident New Yorkers who are leaders and 
 representatives in various departments of worthy human achievement. 
 To this are added sketches of every Army and Navy officer born in or 
 appointed from New York and now serving; of all the Congressmen 
 from the State, and of all State Senators and Judges, and of all Ambas- 
 sadors, Ministers and Consuls appointed from the United States. It has 
 been the aim of the Editors to include only such names as have valid 
 claim to recognition^ 
 
 The book has been laid out on lines sufficiently broad, it is hoped, to 
 make it invaluable as a work of reference, and interesting to those who 
 find in " every Biography a page of History S* 
 
 SCOPE OF THE WORK. 
 
 Some idea of the field covered may be had by a glance at the fol- 
 lowing partial list : There are lives of leading Architects, Artists, Authors, 
 Civil Engineers, Clergymen, Bankers, Brokers, Lawyers, Merchants, Phy- 
 sicians ; Leaders in the World of Society and Prominent Men of Affairs. 
 
 An especiallv valuable detail is the permanent address, which is fur- 
 nished in every case. 
 
 VALUE AND USE. 
 
 WHO'S WHO IN NEW YORK is designed to supplement a Lon- 
 don publication, which furnishes biographic data of prominent men the 
 world over, and a Chicago publication which covers the same ground, 
 more in detail, for the whole United States. Obviously the wider range 
 of these books preclude the mention of many names that have a definite 
 and important interest when considered as factors in the life of this State. 
 
 This local information, so to call it, has never up to this time been 
 gathered within the limits of a single volume. And those who have had 
 occasion to look for such information realize how difficult it is to secure. 
 It is to be found only in County histories of dubious veracity; in 
 newspaper clippings, difficult of access ; in family histories, overloaded 
 with unimportant trivialities, or it is not to be found at all in many 
 instances. But, worst of all, when the alleged facts are gathered together 
 
they are found to be conflicting-, and the vital element of authenticity is 
 lacking. " Who's Who in New York " is authentic. The information 
 has been gathered at first hand. It may be relied upon. 
 
 EDITORS of newspapers and magazines do not need to have the 
 advantages of such a book explained to them, They will not fail to 
 recognize them even from this brief synopsis. Bankers, Brokers, Insurance 
 men and Corporation managers will find that they can save hours of 
 labor and correspondence in ascertaining such facts about men — 5,000 of 
 them — as will be valuable to them in the conduct of their business. It is 
 preeminently a book for Public and Private Libraries, Hotels and Clubs, 
 and its pages are replete with interest for Authors and Students of Life. 
 Government and State Officials and Leaders in the Politics of the day 
 should have such a work at their very elbow. To Insurance men and 
 Advertisers a list of 5,000 picked names, with permanent addresses, is 
 worth may times the price of " Who's Who in New York." 800 pages, 
 handsomely and strongly bound in cloth, $5.00.

 The Responsibility 
 
 resting upon the officers and managers of a Life Insurance 
 company is not different from that which is assumed by the 
 trustees of individual estates. In the great majority of cases, 
 the amount of the policy paid at the death of the insured repre- 
 sents a considerable part of his estate. In some cases it is all. 
 The taking out of a policy is prompted by unselfish love and 
 devotion. The payment of the annual premium represents 
 quite often self-sacrifice and self-denial. The object to be 
 secured, the protection and welfare of his family, is that which 
 a man holds most dear. 
 
 The Aim 
 
 of the Provident Life and Trust Company is to conduct its 
 business in accordance with this conception of the sacred char- 
 acter of the work and the solemn responsibilities imposed 
 thereb}'. It best manifests its fidelity in keeping steadily 
 before it as the true objective the maintenance of the highest 
 security, so that a policy maturing thirty or forty years hence 
 will be as certain of payment as one falling due to-morrow, and 
 an endeavor by all proper means to lighten the burden of insur- 
 ance by making the cost as small as is consistent with security.
