NEW YORK, Hay »-I have spent
thla morning in the capitoi building of
the second city of the world. 1 refer :o
the city hall, which la to be the center
of the government of the greater New
York. Ureter New York contain# twice
as many people a* either New Jersey or
lowa. It has nine t:me» a* man> aoala aa
Rhode Inland or South L»akota. Ail the
people in Nevada would rattle around in
aomc of Its wards like the diy
pea* in a po-i, and ita inhabitant* are
more with a few exceptions, than those
of the greatest of our atatea. New York
city is surpassed by only one place in the
world aa to ita population, and it ia an
easy second among the world's cities in
business and wealth. There is no town
but gray-haired London which will co«n
p;ire wfch It. and with lusty strides It Is
fast tramping on I*ondon's heels During
my visit to the English metropolis not
long ago I heard a great fuss made about
a *aie of business property there at a
price equal to |W,W,IW an acre. A lot
wss *«! d within a stone's throw of the
dty had only a year or so ago for a prke
amounting to &) an acre. This lot
» is on the corner of Nassau and Liberty
streets It contained considerably less
than a quarter of an acre of ground and
It brought |!.MUDO- There is scarcely any
property on the Island of Manhattan
which can be bought cheaply today. Th*>re
are lots along lower Broadway which are
worth a price equal to a carpet of silver
dollars over their entire surface, and thers
are eotne. I venture, which you could not
buy by offering to stand silver dollars on
edge, side by aide and end to end. making
a two-inch plating over the entire lot. The
tendency of prices here Is ever upward.
One-twelfth of the total assessed value of
the Tnlted States exists In N*w York, ths
real estate assessment alone amounting to
more than C.000.W.00f Still, when the
Dutch bought the Island of Manhattan of
the Indians they paid for it only 324 worth
of glass beads and buttons. It was the
biggest real estate deal on record. Twen
ty-four dollars then- worth billions now.
Think what the Indians lost.
tile Thin* to Br Var«r of Sew York.
H I* a big thing to be mayor of a city
like this. The carries almost as
mti i h responsibility as that of the presi
dent of the Tnited States. There are, I
believe, about four thousand policemen
now in this city. and there will be seven
thousand in the new New York Tht ra
wl!l be. all told, an armv of city offi-ials
greater by that which Xenophon !♦ d on
his retreat to the sea than the army of
the T'nit« <1 States, arid the salary li.*t will
amount to more than thirty-three million
dollar* a year. The property Interests of
such a city are enormous. The business
carried on i* of every kind. There Is more
manufacturing done here than in any
ether town in th« United States. The
shipping interests are so great that 3.O>W)
ships come from foreign countries to
these wharves every year, and two-hfihs
of all the products we ship to foreign
• cuntHes arc sent here to be loaded. The
banking lnt*re«»* tl re the greatest on this
hemisphere. The New York clearing house
does a business of p.nnually,
while the stocks represented in Wall
street affect every country town in the
I'nited State? There are in the greater
New Yotk l«>.fll*> dw* diitsg houses and
business house#, which the mayor must
*;ce are i?> sanitary condition. The streets
which have to he looked after would
make a lin»* longer than the dis
tance between New York and t'hi
caeo, and the -nil-age of the surface
railways would make live tra-k* from
New York ro Wa.-Mngton. I d >n't know
the extent of the sewerage of the greater
New York, but four year? ago Nr* York

Mayor f>«jroag Like l.iaeolo.
T am told that Mayor Strong is very
fond of huia-ir. He ha# a homeiy way
which remind* you of President Lincoln.
He ran s*e a joke as quickly a* could Lin
coln. and b* enjoy* a funny story amid
the most soWmn circumstances. People
* ho come befe-re him are surpfts*d to hear
him hurst into a laugh and tell a funny
story in the midst of a most serious con
futation. B<-me «'f them cannot under
stand bow it if- in this love of humor that
h-= r*st.« his m nd. The laugh breaks the
strain which his position necessarily 'ti
tail*. The mayor Is a good story teller,
and his b»-i<! stories are the reminiscences
of hi? a n life, which has b»en a typically
American one. »,
How m Cosslry Boy r«s«wre4
Vork.
Mayor Strong's life-atory l* thit of a
country boy who <:«tm* to l ew York and
succeeded- He was, you know, born in
Ohio., His early years were spent upon a
farm, and one of his first business ven
tures was in a small store at Mansfield.
Ohio. Mansfield if now a town of
people W hen Mayor Strong was young
I doubt whether it had S.OOO. but among
its young men U included some of the
brightest minds of the United States.
One of Mr Strong's asak>ciates and friends
was John Sherman, who had come to
Mansfield from a school at Mount Vernon
to study la* with his brather Charley. It
must have been during Mr. Strong s mer
cantile e*ppri*iic« there tha' Sherman bo
came a candidate for congress and can
vassed the district, going about with an
old white horse, aod stopping at the coun
try cross-roads to make speeches. Anoth
er young man was Amos Townsend. who
afterward went to Cleveland and made a
big fortune there. He was sent from
Cleveland to congress, and was for years
one of the soundest advisers of the Re
publican party. I think that Townsend
and Strong were partners at Mansfield.
Another man who has done much since he
left that part of Ohio is Gen. Tom Eckert.
who is now the president of the Western
Union Telegraph Company.
During my chat with the mayor I asked
him how he came to leave Mansfield. He
told me that he was ambitious, wasted to
see something of the world, and con
cluded to try New York He began his
work here as a clerk, receiving at first
#IOO a month. Then he was sent out West
to collect bills fot hi* firm, and succeeded
so well that his salary was Increased right
along. In those days, there were no col
lecting agencies. The merchants came to
New York to buy "their goods, and as they
usually purchased on time, the wholesale
dealers had to send their collectors out
West to get the jioney. They sent them
much as they now send drummers out to
sell goods. Young Strong soon fcot a lartre
acquaintance in the West He was a good
mixer, and was so popular that it Is sa!d
that he would often take dinner with a
man In the evening or go to church with
him. the man knowing that he would the
n*xt day appear against him In a law suit.
He did so well, in fa<*t, that he was soon
able to fro into business for himself, and
he Is now one of the rich men of New
York. He is. I am told, worth considera
bly more than a million dollars, and In
addition to a big commission business, he
has other interests of many kinds. When
he was elected mayor h«» was one of the
directors of the NVw York I,.ife Insurance
Company, president of the Homer J>»e
Pank Note Company and the confidential
adviser of other Institutions. Before be
took the office, however, he said to his
i'ssociates of the different boards: "Gen
tlt men. for the next three years you will
have to pet alons: without my aid. I am
now in the employ of the city of New
York, and will hav to work for th«m."
Mayor Strore has carried out this resolu
tion.

| had no doubt but that the city would
j prosper even more than It had done in the
• past, and that it world eventually be the
| greatest city of the whole world. His ideas
: on this subject are those of an optimist.
He ha« faith In th* I'nlte.l States and in

dot - not think the days of prosperity are

"Rut what is the right way, Mr.

manage U:at Ue is worth all that you can

he 1-ft that he would not work for ms

strange to say. pleased the man. He gav*

regret it-
Sew lorker* Sat Brighter Thaa
Other Mea.
I asked the mayor if he had found that
th* men ot New York were smarter thaa
thoec of the West. He replied. "No. I
don t thin* so. There are nor in village
*t»rea men who are just as bright as any
of the ate:i-nan:k here In New York, and
there are iawyets at the ocur.ty seats wno
have a* much brains as those who advis*
the big corporations in Wall str eet. Thi#
matter of greatness is 'o a large extent
ore of circumstances and surroundings."
Sew iork \«>t i>»BKrri:ux.
"Mr. Mayor, I want to ask you if you
think a man's life is safe in any part of
Nt-w York at any hour of the night? Many
people of the country are afraid of th»s
city."
"I believe." rep!i-M the mayor, " 'hat life
•ud rr«ifierty are as safe here as in any
place in the world. There is no m ire dan
ger of a man being robbed or killed in any
part of New York than there is in tha
wilds of the West, or, in fact, in any coun
try village. Of course, robberies occur ev
erywhere, and tbe man who acts the fool
and <iues not mind his own busine»s. who
gets drunk and goes into bad places. Is lia
ble to get Into trouble in any city or any
where else. It is the same in New York,
but not more so than In other places."
Will Sot Be a Candidate for Mayor.
I am told that Mr. Strong will not be a
candidate again for the mayorship. 1 did
not a.-k him the question. But he said to
a friend the other day that he thought
that !f he was ten years younger he would
like nothing better. He thinks, however,
that he has earned a rest, and says that
three of the hardest working years of ma
life have been spent at the city hall.
Mayor Straw* aad the Poor.
There is one thing, however, that Mayor
Strong hss kept before him during his
term, and «h*t is that the mayor of a
great city like this ought to pay especial
attention to the complaints of the poor.
He said not long ago: "I am here to look
out for the poor people; the rich will take
care of themselves." He does look out for
the poor. I don't think he would like to
have it told, but 1 know that very little of
his salary goes into his own pockets. Ha
is always giving to one charity or another.
Every morning when he cornea to the of
fice he has a lot of one and two-dollar
notes with him. These he places In th*
drawer at his right hand, and when wo
men come in with their tales of woe which
the city can't remedy, he gives them a
dollar or so apiece to ease the refusal ho
has to make.
The Mayor and the Bablr*.
He watches the streets of the jw>r parts
of the city, and sees that the tenement
houses of such quarters are more care
fully ininpected than those of other part*.
Not long ago a poor woman came into tha
mayor's office and took her scat on one of
the sofas. She waited several hours until
the other and bolder callers who pushed
their war before her had been disposed
of. and th*n timidly came to Mayor
Strong's desk. She drew a small bottle of
a blue chalk-like mixture from under her
shawl and said: "Mr. Mayor. I have
brought you a little bottle of m.lk to show
you what the dairies are selling to tha
poor people of this town. 1 bought this
bottle in a grocery as 1 came h*>re. It Is
what *f have to use for food for our ba
bies. r.nd we cannot get anything better."
The mayor asked the wom-in to l*ave tha
bottle and he would attend to it. H" sent
for th" health officer The officer said that
the milk was undoubtedly bad, but that
they had not enough inspectors t<- enforc#
the laws.
"How many more do you want?" asked
Mayor Strong.
"We need Tift or #>," v<t* the reply.
"Well, get them, and make them pay at
tention to the poor." said the mayor. This
was done, and the mayor saw that th*
laws were carried out. He saw that the
fine* were paid to the full extent. and
showed the mil'imen that th- v would he
livrris >»ed upon a se<*f.r,d offi ns» if they
did not carry out the lam*. The result was
thai the poor r> f ople got good milk.

Caglaad'a Ak'ltlag Flaaacr*.
The last year has probably been the
worst, so far reckless gambling is con
cerned that has occurred since the South
Sea bubble. More people have been ruin
ed and more have become almost phe
. r.umrnglly rich—the happy days of Ar
gentine not excepted—until now this great
and wealthy nation lies panting for
bre«th like aji overfed python, having
swallowed more stocks and shares than
it can possibly digest.
It Is natural when such conditions as
this arise that there ihould be some mt-n
to reap the harvest which has been so
recklessly sown. Common gambler* are
many. "Coal Oil Johnny" was a common
gambler. Jabex Balfour was another. 80
was Baron Grant, the memorv of whose
deeds crops up every now and then in the
bankruptcy court. We have had so much
of this every-day stripe of money-maker
and money-loser that nowadays It re
quires absolute genius to attract the at
tention of the world, and this ha? really
| been accomplished by a man who. a few
years ago, was an unknown and unappre
, elated lace manufacturer of Nottingham.
His name Is Ernest Terah Hooley. He
; has made JiO.oOP.O*} In less than one year.
He has enriched his friends by more than
double that sum In the same time. He
, has become a world famous man. The
city of London is at his feet. His move
ments are chronicled like those of royal
ty. and he has managed to make himself
one of the most consplcuour Kings In
Europe. And all because he possesses
an adamantine nerve which has probably
seldom beep surpassed.
Has a Maaafartarer.
* Two years ago Hooley gave up hi* lac*
business in provincial and antiquated
Nottingham and began to dabble in the
local stock market. He was not a poor
man. and. In fact. he ha? never known
poverty. He says that he has always
managed to make s!&.<*» to S2OOOO a year
ever since he was 21 years of ape. and he
is now 38. His first year in the stock mar
ket netted him over lIW.ODO, Even an or
dinary ambition, it .<>ems to me. would
be fired by such a remarkable achieve
ment. and Hoolev's ambition, as will be
seen, is most extraordinary.
Nottingham seemed to afford few op
portuni'ies for a mind of his nature, and
the natural sequence was a move to <"*a
pel court, the London Wall street. Ar
rived in London he had no sooner furnish
ed his office and pnt his desk in order
than he made straight for the highest
flights of financial operation. The w>r!d
was startled one morning to learn that
the Dunlop Tneumatic Tire company had
been purchased by a. syndicate for th"
sum of This was an enormous
price, even in days of gigantic fig
ures. but the surprise occasioned by the
purchase was nothing compared to the
subsequent shock when it «as learn- d
how the deal has been tarried through,
v. other wa in the citv at LMhw
ha\e done this s.t.e H ooley. An Idea of
his personality, his manner, and his mode
of operation ( in be had from the way in
whkh he engineered It.
Hooler's Most Daring Deed.
i The iSinlop company was willing to seil
f out. Hooley obtained from it »n optton of
i pnrchase of jut «»> ow for one Then
he employed every possible means of <*>m
nvmiejtlon to notify his friends and asso
ciate* that h» was ir a deal to ptir< base the
Dunlop Pneumatic Tire Company: that it
would h* the greatest financial success of
the year. and that he w*nt*d their virions
stmatures to help htm in the purchase.

f. rC j«ed his option at and <rr> the

His Political lakltlsai.
Rut \ rn<xiey ambition la not *1! that this
wonderful mar yearn* to satisfy. Ha
has political aspirations. which, for some
unknown regson. lead him to believe that
some day he will he a. cabinet minister.
Doing nothing by halves. he ha* antered
the parliamentary list in the same eager,
alert and unique manner which has made
him a power in the city. The drst shlng
to do in order to become a properly ac
cepted candidate for parliament is to
nurse the constituency which the aspir
ing politician hopes to represent. and Mr.
Hooley has begun to nurse Derbyshire *s
no Bngh.«ti constituency has been nursed
in recent time*. It is usual for a csn
didate to spend & couple of thousand dol
lars a year on hia division or borough
just as our candidate* for congress rtnd
it necessary to contribute to the local
charities, societies and churchee; but
Hooley's Ideas as to the best way of
spending hia money and incidentally solid
ifying Derbyshire in his flavor are on the
moet marvelous srale.
His first move on signifying hia inten
tion to become a candidate was to notify
the local authorities that in future they
could draw upon him for S7s,n<» a year, to
be distributed among the various charities
of the district. Aside from this he is
spending sl.,w a week among the poor of
the Ilkeston division of Derbyshire, and

Hooley could have had the choice of two
or three perfectly safe seats, but he 01-
ject* to the carpet-bagging business and
wants to represent ihe county in whtch
he was born. He hope* when he becomes
a member of parliament to pa** an old
age pension bill. which is a# stupendous
in Its conception as if is impracticable.
His scheme Is to simply tax imported ce
reals a«d from the revenue thus derived
to pension off all aged and Impoverished
stObjects of the queen. For instance. Eng
land imports every year 4rtO.OW.QOO bus>h
eht of grain. This, taxed at 15 cents per
bushel, would produce about s£>,ooo,ooo per
year, and this amount, put aside for
three years a? compound Interest, would
amount to |300,000,*W. In three years there
would be a fund which would enable the
government to give 11 25 per week to wery
man and woman over W years of ajre In
Great Britain. Hooley savs he has talked
with men of the highest Influence and po
sition in the country ad*»ut his scb*me an 4
that they heartily ngree with him; but
they are too timid to propose it.
