ILLUMINATING INCIDENTS AND ANECDOTES The Home librae of the Jnrlat Earrpma mm Hew It Rlooma la the SnallKht of Pab- licitr. Juire Alton Brook Pru-k.ef of New York, democratic, nomine for president, has been , pictured and hla career reviewed frequently aince he became a prominent candidate for honor ef party leadership. The main facta of hit career will bear brief repetition now, Supplemented with eharsctnrlstlc Incident! end anecdotes, hla home life and his noma, brought more prominently into print tinea hla triumph at St. Louis. ' ' , Judge Parker waa 52 years of age on May 14. Ha was elected judge of the New York court of appeals In ISM. He la rlx feet tall, with strength In proportion, broad of back, deep-cheated, brown eyea, reddish hair and weighs 190 pounds. There It a grave dignity and a suggestion of Immense power In Judge Parker which go well with his black Bilk robe when be presides In tha court of appeals.. He It the youngest man In the row of judgre. He is attentive to argument and keeps h! .eye steadily on the lawyer who mty be pltad Ing. Ills courtesy to lawyers Is well, known. When he makes a ruling he does not WSste words. It Is useleaa to argue. The thing Is done. All his associates say that he dots everything in his power to ae them frdtn unnecessary work, snd It Is Indicative of his nature that he Is the only member of the court of appeals who Is always prevent when the court It open. The other juries take thalr weeka off regularly, but Judge PaTker ae-rveg every day of tha session, so that there shall always be someone on the bench familiar with every ruling or agree ment made made In court. The Jadg Work. Ite froea at his task without nervousness. It Is hard to Imagine a, less nervous men. II works with method and deliberately. After dictating an opinion he goes over the sheets and strikes Out everything unneces sary or rhetorical. But hla corrections of rUnartlv relate, ' merel to details; he does not have to bull Ms work to pieces. Nor Is there anyone who ever heard hltn speak discourteously or In anger to subordinate. His tact and natural, kindliness make thlnga move smoothly. Yet there Is an Iron firmness about him. At the end of every week and during the summer vacation Judge Parker Is to be found on his farm at Esopue, which overlook the Hudson river. He has three farms In New York-one of 160 acres at Cortland, another of 1W acres at Accord and another of ninety acres at Esopus. He manages these three farms and makes them, on the whole, pay. He Is no dllst- tante stranger to the country, playing with agriculture as with s. toy, but a rest farmer; who directs the work, superintends the plowing and. In harvest time, goes out In his shirt sleeves to work with his men In the hsy and sorghum. A careful estimate of Judys Parker wealth plaoee the value of alt his posses sions at about WO, 000. This property he has acquired mostly by saving and good bust neas Judgment His farm at Cortland came to him .from hla farmer father. HO was born on It and worked along Its fur rowa as a boy. It la on the farm St Bsopus that Judge Parker's personality has full swing. There tie write his most Important Judicial opin ions. There, too he work In his gelds, prunes hie trees and cares for his thirty reentered red poll cattle, his full-blooded Poland-China pigs and fine flock 'of Shrop shire sheep. . . The altuatlon of the house Snd Its gen eral aspect have been likened to those Of the mansion at Mount Vernon. Tho view from the porch la far finer than that at Mount Vernon. The oppoelte shore of the river Is very beautiful, with rolling hill and dte, dotted at wide Intervals with farm houses or country soats. Down the river, cu the western bank, a foothill ' of ' the Cslsklll looms high, linked by other un dulating 'ridges and hills with the greit rsnge Itself. Judge Parker Is very fond of driving In that direction, and one Of hla fsvorlte objective points is "Blab Sides." the famed retreat of John Burroughs, the naturalist and poet. Which Is on a rufrsed, deeply wooded hill, almost overhanging the Hudson. At the foot of Judge Parke 's lawn Is his private Wharf, near which his naphtha launch Is moored. A - megsphone Is always kept on the porch, and when- the judge or any of th family wish to go upon the river It is used for the purpoao Of eom muhlcatlnf with the man In charge of th launch. - It Is doubtless the belief oi the millions of newspaper readers to whom the nems Esopus has become familiar within the last few weeks that It Is at least a village or a hsrnlst, and that it Is somewhere where trains stop and people 'can go and corns with the ordinary ease which belongs to place on a main trunk line In the state Of New Tork. This Is an Impression whlnh should be promptly corrected by anyone that desires to get on accurate Idea of th place which la Judge Parker's postofflce address. Btside 'being classical Esopus la an old name in the history of th state of New York. The original 'Esopus Is now Kings ton, a prosperous city of '3.000 or M.0O0 in habitant, with several llns of railroads, trolley oats and ths old state house. Kings, too was Once the capital of th state of New Tork. It was settled shortly after New Amsterdam and about the rime time as Albany. . Its nam was that of the creek on which the first settlers located.

The principal Inhabitants of Esopus are Georg Washington Bedford, the flagman whp stops the trains; Patrick Quinn. whs for som jforty or fifty years has 'run the country Ion at the forks of the road, and Isaac Burger, who sells beer made of real hops, and hatches and raises ehloksns by the. old natural use of hens, which, k Ss, exceil Wins jiruauceu by Judge 1'wiffi uictibniuis sue - bruuders.

Down at tho foot of th road Which crosses the railroad track is the old pier, where ths boat stop to taks on board tho apples and potatoes, which are the prlnci pal crops of the farmers. It the day not too warm the three colored gentlemen who sit on the railing of the bridge to watch the accommodation trains go down to the pier and watch the boats. There Is a shoal in ths rivr near the pier, markod 'by a stake, and ever since the boats have been stopping there th Inhabitants have been expecting a wreck on this shoal and assemble to see it. fteaoereefalnesB gave Bank. Kingston locally has occasion to remem ber tha quick ' resourcefulness of Judge Parker In a business emergency. Parker waa one of the trustees of the Ulster County Savings csnk of Kingston, whloh on day In September, 1591. closed its door becsuse of an embeszlement by the treas urer and the assistant treasurer which no longer could be concealed. The deposits of th bank amounted to $2,500,000. The em bezzlement footed nearly ffOOtOOO, wiping out the bank's surplus and making a big Jeflclency. The bank had Invested nearly $1,600,000 of Its deposits In real estate mort gagea, on-half o which were In Ulster county. To have closed the Institution and wound up Its affairs In the hands of h re celver would have meant the foreclosure of these mortgages and the sale of the lands at sacrifices, working ruin to both fanners and depositors. When the failure was announced Judge Parker was on his farm near Accord. H hastened Into town to meet th other trus tees of tho Institution. But It soon was ap parent that, so far at ways and means went In ths emergency, Judge Parker wan th only trustee. ' The first met of. Judge Parker as trustee was to swear out warrants for the embes slers. The assistant treasurer was locked up that night without bail. Next ths judge attempted to have a strong fiduciary lnstl tution take over n assignment of the mortgages and continue as the bank's agent. This could not be accomplished. Then his Ingenuity wss brought to the test He peps red before the court of equity. asking of the Judge that instead of his ap pointing a temporary receiver' the sourt nam twenty-flve substantial men of the eounty to act aa trustees of the closed bank's business. Charles M. Preston, the State superintendent of banks, was a resi dent Of Kingston, and the idea met with til approval. Judge Farter went out among the business men Of the place who had tho confidence of the people and made S list of . twenty-flve men willing to serve. These were appointed by th local court. Judge Fursmnn of the supreme court then Issued kn 'Injunction against sny depositor flrswlng out more thsn ffl per cent of his deposits In the Institution. This order pre cipitated a run on the bank. Prevent Ron osi the Rank. Parker bad anticipated ths trouble. II had brought money from -New York and with the coin heaped In bags behind the teller s window, he jumped up on the coun ter, calling to the depositors to come on and asking them if they thought the bunk's officers were there to west time on a broken bank. The action and the question were sufficient. .The run was at an end s Suddenly as it began. Only U per cent of th depositors presented cheeks for their per cent of deposits, and ths bank was saved. . Th treasurer and his assistant were con victed and sent to state's prison. Then Judge Parker was called for to become president of ths Institution, a nosltion which he took on the stlpulstlon that no salary attach 10 ths office. He remained president of the bank during several rears. and when He left the place the deposits of in institution were several hundred thou sand dollars greater than they ever had beeiw ThUa ended the most stirring Inci dent In sll jHdge Parker's life, nnd It ended to the sdvantage of scores of the good citi zens of Kingston snd t'knter county.

P.irker was first prominently an! persistently mentioned as the Mose who might lead the democratic party out of thj popullatlc wilderness. Thsis I no question that David B. Hill was the original Par ker man or that he is as earnestly con vinced of his protege's right to the honor of leadership ss he Is known to be lm presd by what hs call "the Parker luck." Other New York politicians equally close to Judge Parker advi-ed h'm from the first mention of his possible candidacy tjiii year to not test his good fortune too fast or too tar.

Odd Itfrldebt of Later Tear. Judge rsrker and Orover Cleveland, then president, were discussing the choice of the former for first sslstant postmaster general, when Postmaster General Vllaa en tered the room. "Parker says he doesn't Want the place, Colohel Vilas." remarked the president. Th colonel looked at th young man and soldi "May I Inqulr why?" "I cannot afford to glv up a &000 posi tion to accept one at $3,000," answered th surrogste. "But I gave up a $10,00 position to ac cept one of $&,000,n Said Vllaa. "Well, Colonel Vilas," retorted Parker, "If t had been making $10,000 a year for ten or twelve year I, too, might afford to accept the president's offer." On day In Albnny recently, while Judges Gray and Parker were waiting near the department for a car, a pretty girl ac quaintance of the former came to h'm and said: "Oh, Judge, we're going te th circus to night. Won't you come with usf A merry twinkle cam Into the judicial eyes. "Do you know, I'd like to," he sighed. "Corns shead; please come. Judge," pleaded the gfrl. "It s Such s nice circus. There'll be lemonade end peanuts." The smile left the Judge' face. Evidently the suggestion of peanut recalled another world. In which circuses hav no part. "I'm afraid," he said wearily, "that since I have refused three dinner ehgngementa I hardly could ho ieen St the circus with a good graee. Rut I'd like to, you know." The old elevator man who overheard the conversation repented it to his partner, and raising his hand in deprecation added: "She never knew she hit him peanuts- peanuts and Drtvld B. Why didn't She aSk him to go to see the tiger V Hla Conadenre In Himself. The following story, told by a New York lawyer, who was a boyhood friend of Par ker, would seem to show that he la not al ways reticent snd slso that he Is not lack ing in a well founded confidence In himself. The lawyer who Is authority for the story was at luncheon with the Judge and the talk became friendly and familiar. How do you feel over the prospect that you may become president of the United States?" asked Parker's guest. "Do you think you can manage such a big Job?" I have no doubt about It." returned Judge Parker. "I have no fear that my lack of familiarity with life at Washington will seriously handicap me. If I Am elected I believe I can fill the Job. I may not know all about It now. but I can imirn It. There are men from whom one can learn a great deal about the presidency before taking the office, and the rest will come after one gets in.

Here Is the story, dug from the documents and presented In great detail by Prof. Frank T. Herrlot In a contribution to the annals of lows. As ths course of empire swept westwsrd and new territories were carved out of the forest and the prairie, the early eettltre usually adopted the laws of their reatest eastern neighbors, afterward making meh changes as the new conditions demanded. Thus, when WlsconMn waa separated from Michigan, the laws of Michigan were "ex tended" over the new territory, and when Iowa was given separate .existence In St'i the Wisconsin laws were "extended" over Iowa until the people were ready to make their own laws. This, after all, was the natural method, as the pioneers knew mow about logs than they did about laws and would have been helpless when It came to enacting ordinances for the government of the new territory hud they not had som proved foundation to build on. Rurly Settlement of Oreaoti. In the late 's the terrltoiles of Wiscon sin and Iowa were yet In their Infar.cy, Iowa was the most westerly of the regu larly organised territories ar.d all that vast region between the Mliwlpsipr.i river and Oregon was practically uninhabited. Ore gon had several little settlements, but thero were no established laws, no court? snd 'no system of government. Crlmlral case were settled by the common rensa of th community snd the strong arm, but civil cases led to much perplexity and strife for the lack of a fixed, code as a guidance. The people were sadly divided over many matters. The Hudson's Bay company had both frienda and enemies, both actively engaged In interminable dis putes. "Local dissensions, personal . jeal ousies, contentions with the Indians and religious rivalries" all had their part In stirring up strife. In 1841 a civil case over A wilt thrust upon the settlers the absolute necessity for some system of government and legal procedure. Various attemp a Were made without success, until In May, 1843, at a meeting In Champoolck, a com mittee was appointed to "draft a plan and report to the people on the 6th of July fol lowing." Their report "exhibits the political thought and habits and wishes of tha pioneers uninfluenced by tho Immealata surroundings of civilisation." The plan first sets forth the principles of civil lib erty and then the fundamental rights snd privileges underlying sll popular govern ment. Then note what follows. Article 12, section 2. reads: The law of Iowa territory shall be the laws of this territory In civil, military and Criminal cases, where not otherwise pro vided for and where no statute or Iowa applies the principles of common law and equity Shall govern. The people made a few alterations, but none which materially changed the original enactment. "Why Iowa Inws Were Preferred, But why Iowa? We must go back some years to find the reason. From 1820 to 3838 tfforts were made at different times to establish the national jurisdiction over Oregon and to "give the pioneers the benefit and protection of the laws and Institutions established In accordance with our forms." Senator Lewis F. Linn of Missouri was the most persistent of those trying to obtain constitutional government for Oregon, and his first thought would have naturally been to suggeet the laws of his native state. But Missouri was a slave state and the north would never have listened to such a suggestion. Iowa and Missouri's neigh bor and was the newest of the self-governing territories, and as the lawa of all frontier communtlea must of neoesslty be much alike Iowa presented the most con venient example from which to copy. It has also been auggested that Senator Llnn'a half brother. Henry Dodge, was re sponsible for the mention of the Iowa con stitution as suitable for Oregon. Dodge had helped to frame the laws originally as a member of the council In Michigan and had signed some of thi-m' afterwards as governor of Wlsoonsln nnd Iowa. He had seen the law In operation and believed them to be what wa required. Some of the Prompting Reasons. But Whatever th real reason was, th bills were defeated In the house nnd any relief for Oregon had to come from within. It la said that the Oregon settlers, .after watching the efforts of their staunch friend Senator Linn, and Seeing the final defeat of the bills, adopted ths Iowa laws of their own volition, because their action Would commend Itself to their friends In the east, but this I mere Conjecture. Another explanation Is that Iowa simply from its position as the nearest to Oregon Of the regularly organized territories, was the most convenient plsce to obtain a copy of a constitution upon which to base the laws of Oregon. .This simply means that chnncs of propinquity settled the matter. Perhaps they did. Whatever the real rea son wss, It matters little now. The fart remains that Oregon deliberately adopted, bodily, ths laws of Iowa, and they are to day th basis of Oregon's laws. . ' This case of one territory adopted en bloc the constitution of another territory, from which It was separated by several thousand miles of unbroken wilderness, Is probably unique In the snnsls of political history. It Illustrates ths methods which Circumstances forced on the pioneers of ths great west in organising their territory un der Settled laws and Institutions and work ing out the complex problem, of self-government.
