fell around it. But for this young Croesus
this town was but a pent-up Utica. Thence
to TltuHvllle and Oil City and Anally tc
Pittsburg, where he first found an orbit
large enough to spread his wings. A mere
chronology of his publio acta comprehends
his whole history. He appeared to the
guests of the old Monongahela house in a
coat of blue velvet, giving the head waiter
who had ushered him to a seat a $100 bill
and his Immediate servitor a fifty when
he put down the soup, and a second fifty
when tb meal was finished, and that ob
sequious person asked: "Is that all, sir?"
His first publlo sensation was at a music
hall, when be stepped from bis box onto the

fair being held In one of the large halls,
reaching the floor as some one was making
a patriotic appeal "for the contribution of
one day's Income!" "Here you are, sir,"
and pushing through a gaping crowd which
easily parted he handed up Ave $500 bills.
"What name, sir?" "Put it down to 'Coal
Oil Johnnie,' " thus coining the sobriquet
which was never effaced. He was recog
nized by a Venango county man. "John,
we want a soldlt-rs' monument In Frank
lin." Steele searched his pockets. "That Is
all the change I have," and he passed over
$2,800. It la said that, saving the monu
ment at Glrard, in Erie county, toward
which Don Rice contributed $5,000, this was
the first memorial raised in this state to the
fallen heroes.
Parasites Catch On.
There was an older man in Pittsburg
who resolved to exploit this' youthful and
reckless son of Helios. His name was
Sclh Slocum, and he commanded Just those
powers to open stage doors, to penetrate
the innermost recesses of the concert hall
and unlock the chambers of Isls, which
would apepal In a compelling way to a
profligate spirit. Dehald, therefore, this
matchless young spendthrift, under his
tutelage, and thee hampagne rout which
ensued when to call for one bottle
smacked of penury and only a basket was
dp. rlgueur. I'nder auch expert administra
tion there formed about him a great con
pany of parasites to fawn upon him, to
exalt Ills already Caesar-like aplomb ami
to humbly accept the diamonds and gold
pieces even when gold was at 216! and
strips of the "long green." What more
logical that all this horde of leeches,
decked out In the best tailor-made at his
expense, should be quartered at the Mo
nongahela that decent people fled from It
as from a besom, and that a covetous man
agement was forced at length to say:
"Your absence Is more to be desired than
your company?" Then the preparations
for the conquest of Philadelphia, which
loomed upon the horison of Steele's Imagi
nation oa the promised land. "We'll take
It by storm special cars If you say ro
I'll buy a locomotive and new clothes all
around." Of course, there was unanimous
concurrence. "What you need," said the
mentor, "la a bodyguard a man you and
I tn trust a man who knows every twUt
In hotel table form and dress you as be
fits your station. That man la Major Tea

one of the first trains of the new terminal

apparition. "I won't be answered In that
way. Here, boy" tossing a twenty-dollar
gold piece to the bell boy "take my card
to the proprietor." When Klngsley ap
peared he said, laying a mass of bills on
the counter: "There are $8,000. It's yours.
All I want Is the right to run this hotel
one day, and pay all the extra expenses."
Klngsley couJd not resist the temptation.
Picking up the money he said: "For
twenty-four hours it's yours to command."
"Slocum," cried Steele, "you are clerk.

Incensed Steele that he agreed to Indemnify
Kanaga for the expense of running the
Glrard at half rate, and for thirty days
this fierce competition severely tried the
resources of the new management of the
Continental. It Is no part of our purpose
to follow the orgies of this crazed youth
or outline his midnight career. Decency
must, if charity will not, draw down the
curtain en the scenes of his nocturnal
profligacy.

Among his less reprehensible diversions

dancers and minstrel performers for whom
he had a special liking. Meeting Cool Bur

Kelley's Jewelry store, added: "Choose!"
Burgess was not so weak but what he
could choose a $1,600 diamond. A crowd
of men followed him Into a Ninth street
saloon. "All the champagne you men can
drink out of your hats." And when they
had drunk out of and battered the tiles
he marched them to Oak ford's and
dressed their heads anew at $3 per. Being

to answer the cheer of the mob with dollar

class that the society was formed In 1864.
"Allied with the parent society are 1,000

are given seven days In which to make

6. The state board, In the equalization of
assessments as between different counties,

attack except upon grounds of fraud or
other wrongful conduct equivalent thereto,

upon It by law.

Equalization of assessments as between
the different counties In ordering a per
centum of Increase in the aggregate valua
tion of some of the counties, cannot be im
peached In the absence of fraud, had faith,
or usurpation of power by evidence tending
to prove that the property In the county
affected was assessed by the county au
thorities at its actual cash value.

given by statute of the time and place ot
meetlns or of action taken by the State
Board of Equalization of the assessment of

for the equalization of the asscftsinenle of
property as between the different counties
by the state hoard by a per centum of
Increase or decreane of the ngirrega .e val
uations so as to make the same conform
to law, is not invalid because no provisions
are made for an apnea 1 from such action
to the courts of the state.

ertv without due process of law by means
of taxation If he has an opportunity to .
question Its validity or the amount or sucn
tax or assessment at some siuge ui nm
proceedings either before thnt amount I
flnallv determined or In subsequent BfJ
ceedins for its collection.
11. The state board cannot, under 151
guise of equalization, raise valuations
merely ior tne puipos ui nomius, n,,,,
crease, but when un Increase results Inci
dentally In the equalization of property
so that all property may bear Its equitable
proportion of the burdens of taxation, such
resulting Increase Is within the legitimate
exercise of the oower to equalize.
SCOTT'S EMULSION
We don't put Scott's Emul
sion in the class of advertised
cure-alls; it doesn't belong
there. We hardly like to use
the word "cure" at all, but we
are bound to say that it can b
used for a great many troubles
with great satisfaction. It3
special function is to repair
the waste of the body when
the ordinary food does not
nourish, and this means that
it is useful in many cases
which are indicated by wast
Wall aas4 jros aaapie frae.
