Jiaval battalion.
Mr. Sattorlco married Miss Louisa Piorpont Morgan November 15, 1900.
The wedding was tho most, noted Bocial event of tho-yonr. Tito alliance was
presumed to mark u closer business relationship between tho brilliant young
lawyer nnd tho leader of tho llnancinl world in America, but Mr. Satterlee
followed tho path ho had laid out for himself and depended on his own
capabilities for succosb; although this was questioned when, as a director of
jlio Trust Company of tho Republic, ho was concerned with the plan to re
lieve that corporation of its underwriting obligations with Louis Nixon's ship
building trust, which had boon controlled by Mr. Morgan ever slnco Ita or
ganization. Mr. Satterlce's most conspicuous place as an organizer was taken when
he became one of a committee formed to reorganize tho Knickerbocker Trust
Company. Tho commltteo becumo known as tho Sattorlco Commltteo and
was the representative of tho depositors. Mr. Sattorleo dovlsud tho plan
opposing a permanent receivership and udvocated resumption to avoid n sac
rifice of assets. Tho temporary receivers woro discharged March 25 last and
the doors were reopened tho next day.

somo of tho same vlrllo characteristics that
marked his physical self, was planning nnd scheming for tho advancement of
himself and his co-laborers.
Strong, almost rough and brutal In his methods, and with tho tenacity
of a bulldog, "Dig Dan" fought for tho organization of tho. longshoremen, and
he not only won out, but, with tho aid of others, formed an international or
ganization which, Including other branches of vessel workers, becamo ono of
the biggest labor trusts on record and eventually forced a tight clamp on
mnritlmo commerce.
In a few years "Big Dan," tho lumber shover, became tho dlctntor of tho
lakes with whom tho powerful Lako Carriers' association was obliged to con
fer, nnd his power extended oven up nnd down-tho coast and into Canada and
South America. Tho laborers who depended for their dally bread on his
executive management numbered from 75.000 to 100,000 men.
Mr. Keefo has been tho president of the International Longshoremen,
Marine & Transport Workers association slnco Its formation in 1892, nnd
.he has been president of his local for 20 years. He has been holding office
Tor nearly 27 years. During that time he has been one of the principal forces
in perfecting tho organization of tho hugo body. Ho was recently ono of tho
Industrial peace commission of nlno men of international reputation.
Mr. Keefo succeeds Frank P. Sargeant, who died a few months ago.

ago, Mrs. Snowden made her first American speech, nnd Carnegie hull rnng
with her praises.
On llrst seeing Mrs. Snowden one Is simply impressed with her over
powering beauty. A mass of fair, wavy hair surrounds a fnco ut onco placid,
?ontlo, and humoi;ous, while cvory. lino denotes sincerity and power.
She has had a remarkably ftctlvo )fo, nnd although she lips spoken In
practically every English lndust.rlnl center and for ton years has been a
potent factor in tho Llrltlsh labor movement, sho is well on the sunny side of
';0 yoars.
Educated to become n school mlutross, sho llrst becamo promlnont through
her letters in tho-.Llvcrpool Dally Post In defense of tho pro-Hoor attitude
of Ur. Charles lK Aked, tho Urltlsh minister, now pastor of tho Fifth Avenue
baptist church in Now York. Her powers of oratory woro first discovered
when abu addnBQd u mooting In Pembroke chapel In behalf of tho preacher.
'Her husband Is ono of tho leading members of tho labor party and nn In
fluential mvmber of thu house of commons. He Is n cripple, and on account
of his physical Infirmity Mrs. Snowden fills his speaking engagements. It
i said ithe is the only English speaking woman not possessed of n title or of
some eccentricity who can always draw a largo nudlenco of members of
bcjth sexes.

LATE DOWAGER
The late empress-dowager has been described as the Semlramls of China,
and her hold upon the ompire and emperor was remarkable. The emperor,
Indeed, wan nothing but a figure-head, and to all Intents and purposes the
empress-dowager was queen of China. 3he was born In November, 1834, the
daughter of a military official, and was given the name of Yehonala. At the
age of 16 she was chosen for Emperor Hslen Feng as a concubine of tho fifth
class. She was raised to the dignity of Imperial consort after the birth of
her son. The late empress was extremely luxurious In her ways. Every ten
years she received an additional title, carrying with It $225,000 n year, to say
nothing of valuable presents. To her credit be It oald that on her sixtieth
birthday, when Japan was at war With her country, she placed most of the
gifts she received, which amounted to about $7,1300,000, Into the war-chest.

of
Now York. Crowds of curious tene
ment dwellers pressed about the can
vas screens the other day, behind
which laborers were excavating tho
bodies in tho old St. Patrick's Ca
thedral comotery, situated in the block
bounded by East Eleventh and Twelfth
streets, First avenue and avenue A.
Tho ground has been sold by tho trus
tees of St. Patrlck'a cathedral and
the bodies will be removed to a large
plot provided for the purpose In Cal
vary comotery.
Few intorments hnvo been made
there since August, 1848, nnd for many
yearB tho place hns been surrounded
by tenement structures. Now other
buildings will be erected on the va
cant plot and the historic burial ground
will exist only in tho memory of u
few of tho oldest citizens.
For 20 years or more tho romoval
of the cemetery has boon stubbornly
opposed by many descendants of thoso
whose bodies were burled there. An
opposition organization wns formed
two yearB ago to fight tho project, but
all legal obstucles woro finally dis
posed of and tho Bale of the property
followed,
Tho old Cemetery was opened In
1833, tho first body being Interred on
March 12 of that your. Tho ground
wnB purchased for S37.050 and between
1S33 nnd 1818 tho official records show
that 41,010 bodies woro burled. It was
opened to rellovo old St. Patrick's
cemetory in Mott street, which was
opened on May 2G, 1813, and closed
on tho opening of tho now cemetory.
Tho records show that 32,15" bodies
wore Interred In tho old cemotery,
making a total of 73,109 In both ceme
teries, between 1813 and 1818.
Ancestors of many of Now York's
prominent cltlzeiiB of to-dny wero
burled In the old cemetery, but In
many Instances headstones hnvo fallen
down or have been removed, nnd diffi

an uumurked .grave. Its locution Is
now unknown and tho dust of the
famous Italian will ho burled with tho
unclaimed bones that are found else
