ROBERT GARRETT S SISTER.
She Controls $20,000,000, and
Would bo President of the B. and
O. if She Were a Man.
[From the Philadelphia Record.]
“Miss Mary Garrett, the daughter of
the founder of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad system, is an extraordinary
woman,” said a gentleman well acquaint¬
ed with the facts, “and, but that she is
a woman, would to-day be president of
that road.” Miss Garrett has never ob¬
truded her individuality in the manage¬
ment of the great property which her
father left at his death, but her influ¬
ence and capacity have nevertheless
been felt and recognized by every one
who has come in contact with the finan¬
cial management of tho Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company. F’or many
years before her father’s death she was
his chief assistant. Her love for her
father was the ruling passion of ln-r life,
and her devotion to him was the admira¬
tion of her friends aud the despair oi
those who sought to win her hand in
marriage.
Miss Garrett to-day, although few
persons know it, controls aud manages
the Garrett interest in tho Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, and has for some
time been the most potential factor in
the manipulation of the interests of that
great corporation. She-is thoroughly
acquainted with all the details of tin
business of the road and its financial
status, and has always been looked
upon as one of its most sagacious ad¬
visers.
Although personally directing tin
management oi a property worth noi
less than $20,000,000 Miss Garrett is al¬
most unknown to business men, becaus<
her fine sense of modesty and trut
womanly reserve will not permit hei
to assume au individual aud persona!
control which both her capacity foi
financial affairs and her direct control
of millions of money would enable hei
to do.
Th> re is no woman in the United
States that can commaud more ready
cash than Miss Garrett. When her fa
tlier was living Miss Garrett was his
private seci’etary, his best adviser, and
liis most trusted friend, even above any
of the old gentleman’s sons. It was in
this capacity that she obtained hei
knowledge of the road and her insight
into its financial affairs After the
death of her father Miss Garrett’s in¬
fluence over her brother, Robert Gar¬
rett, was so marked that it became a
matter of current talk in Baltimore.
But there were certain theories held by
her brother which even the influence
which she held over him could not suc¬
cessfully combat. When the schemes
which led to the invocation of the aid oi
the Drexel syndicate culminated, Robert
Garrett saw the wisdom of her counsels,
which he had failed to follow, and prac¬
tically surrendered to her the the manage¬
ment of his interest in road. When
he started on his tour around the world
his sister followed and overtook him at
San Francisco, where he was induced to
give to her the control of all of his in
terests in the Baltimore and Ohio Rail¬
road Company.
Recently, when the syndicate which
had helped the Baltimore and Ohio out
of the difficulties in which it had unwit¬
tingly been plunged began to haggle
about the commissions and threatened
to pip co the road in an embarrassing posi¬
tion. Miss Garrett quietly brushed them
all aside, put up the needed cash, and
saved the credit of the company. Since
the recent death of her brother, T. Har¬
rison Garrett, Miss Mary Garrett’s con¬
trol of the Garrett estate has become
practically Garrett’s unlimited daring Robert
absence.
Miss Garrett is a most
lady, and would never be taken for a
great financier, as she is, at first sight,
She is not fond of notorietv, and in man
ners and habits is a most domestic and
home-loving woman. She worshipped
her father, and her most ardent hope is
to see the great road which he built and
brought to such great importance left kept and
up to the position where he it,
perpetuated as one of the greatest insti
tutions of the countrv.
Lost in si Trance.

they encounter him in the history of
those times they realize that he was a real
character, often taking important social parts
in prominent political aud events,
and it not unfrequently appears that so
far from being a fool he was the only
sane and sensible person in many an as
sembiage of people f rank and conse
q Uence It was often the case that the
King’s ® fool was the only person ™ at court
who , dared , , to speax ,, the truth .y. among the ,,
hordes of flatterers and sycophants and
parasites that surrounded the monarch
and infested the precincts of royalty. It

R r ”' tu F eu P‘ e *
The court ,ester dates from a period .
so early that it is di.fieult to trace his
bc^innioo-s. th° He was in use in China
, ^nere v hcre til- art art ot of making makint? mm him a a deformed aeiormea
monster existed. In order to make his
avit more pungent and his satiies more
scathing them it was thought necessary to have
uttered by a dwarf or a hunchback.
ai >d ridicule »«? *•»»? the »“>>:'•“ follies of ‘j w alleged ,t ,o '**»* wise
men, being peculiar in mind and morals
ought to be twisted and deformed in
b ® dy ' TheGreeks and ! !omans imitated
the use of jesters from the Persians, but
ble Greece and Romo possessed also inimita
satirists and masters of sarcasm like
Fophocles and Juvenal, who did not hes
itate to scourge the lollies and crimes of
the highest as well as the lowest.
in the middle ages the fashion of
maintaining jesters was introduced into
Europe from the East, aud it was main
tained for a long period. Among the
most noted of these professiouial fools
were Triboulet, the cele brated jester of
Irancis I., of France, and Chicot, who
was more distinguished than his royal
master, Henry III. Other trench fools
ot note were Brusquet C’ailette. Sibolot
and Mathurme who by the way, was a
reign woman. Angely, who appeared in tho
of Louis XIII., was the ast of the
line. In Germany, Pfatf Cappadox, who
adorned the court of Rudolph of
Hapsburg; Kunz von Rozen, the jester
of Max.milian I.; Jodel der Narr, at the
co trt of Ferdinand II., and Klaus Narr,
the fool of the Elector FYederi k the
AVise, were most noted examples. In
England, Edmond Ironsides had a jester
known as Ilitard or Hithard. Will
burners was professional humorist to
Henry VlII., while Mary, Queen of
Scots maintained John Hey wood iu a
like capac ty. Charles I. was the last
of the English kings who kept a fool.
One of his, Archibald Armstrong, known
as “Archy,” was disgraced and banished
for his violent satires upon Laud, Arch¬
bishop of Canterbury. He was suc¬
ceeded by Muckle John, so called be¬
cause of his small si/.o. Long aftei
jesters had disappeared from the rest of
Europe they still were in favor in Russia,
where Peter the Great kept twelve, and
the Empress Anna, who had been a nun,
maintained a large number.
The decline aud disappearance of the
court fool was undoubtedly due to the
rise of the art of printing. The court
fool had only a select and limited au
dience for his sarcasms and satiies. The
press was able to address itself to the
people at large. Nothing is so pleasing
to a great muss of inauk-xnd as to hear
others sharply criticised. A touch of
slander even is not to be objected to if
it be spicy. The art of printing placed
these privileges in the reach of all, and
as a consequence the professional fool
took to writing books. He was able to
criticise without being required to flat¬
ter and fawn on his patron and protector,
and he thus became a greater power
than ever. Probably no satirist ever ex¬
erted a greater inuuence in his day than
did the anonymous author of the “Let¬
ters of Juni is,” while others who wrote
over their own names have been also dis¬
tinguished. Rabelais, Swift, Voltaire,
and others whose names would make a
long and illustrious list, could be men¬
tioned. To-day, however, the writer has
been able to bring to his aid the pencil
of the artist, and the humorous and
satirical illustrated publications may be
taken as the last and most distinguished
evolution of the court fool. Punch, the
earliest of these interesting publications,
has been followed by similar products
in the chief nations of the civilized
worid until no country is without
them.
A “Touch of Nature”.in Congress,
There was a striking and somewhat
amusing illustration in the Hou-e oi
llepresentatives at Washington recently,
of the truth of the old proverb about
“one touch of nature making the whole
world akin.” For a long time Bepre
sentative Enloe has been trying to secure
the passage by the House of a bill to pay
back to Mr. P. E. Parker, of Memphis,
which had been collected by the
Government from him as one of the
securities for Frauk Tra is, who was at
one time Internal Revenue Col.ector for
the Western District of Tennessee, and
who became a defaulter, the securities

YelloTr Fever Treatment
is A {fisfingrrshod French physician, who
considered a yellow fever expert, says:
“My firm belief is that yellow fever is a
local affection, of which the first cause is
development of the microbes in the in¬
testines. It flourishes only under pecul¬
iar conditions, climate, race and tem¬
perament. The general treatment con¬
sists in keeping up the strength of the
patient, aud carefully watching the ac¬
tion of the kidneys. S rvchnine, al¬
cohol and champague will in some cases
be found useful, but local treatment is
by far the most important point at the
very outset of the illness. I should pre¬
scribe purgatives the first day. Patients
should be given 35 to 45 grammes of sul¬
phate of soda. The n xt day he should
take 40 to 50 grammes of castor oil in
two or three doses. On the third day
one gramme of calomel might be admin
isteied. The prescriptions should be va¬
ried in this way for a week. If the pa¬
tient vomits, the quantity thrown up
should be again administered with a
little ice in it. The intestines should be
treated like an infected wound, by cleans¬
ing and disinfecting. When I was in
the AVest Indies, the doctors handed over
a desperate case to me to try my method
on, telling me, at the same time, that
even if I tailed, it would be no argument
against my theory. The antiseptics I
tried were bi-chloride of mercury aud
chiorohydric lemonade. The treatment
proved successful. Of course one cure
proves little. It does prove, though, that
there is a chance of success.”

Bound to Fight.
The old tragedy of the bull and loco¬
motive was enacted near St. John, N. B.,
the other day. A huge bull strayed on
the Grand Southern Raihvay just as a
locom tive drawing a p cnic train ap¬
peared in sight, lie lowered his head,
pawed the ties, swi ched his tall, bel¬
lowed and paid no attention to the fran¬
tic toots from the engine. When the lo¬
comotive drew near, the bull charged
furiously. There was a bellow, a cloud
oi dust aud si earn and then silence. Wnen
the smoke, dust ud steam rolled away,
the locomotive and the bull lay in tho
ditch, the horns of the latter locked in
the bars of the cowcatcher. The noble
animal’s neck was broken. No one on
the train was hurt.

Howto nelp Your Dlsrestion.
Almost every day we feel the unpleasant sen¬
sations of indigestion. Try Alt.cock’s Porous
Plasters and be relieved. J. F. Davenport, of
Canarsie, New York, writes:
I have been very much troubled with a vio¬
lent pain below my chest bone. I was told by
several physicians that it was rheumatism of
the diaphragm. It resulted from cold and ex¬
posure. I liad very little appetite and digested
my food with great difficulty. I placed one
Allcock’s Porous Plaster below the breast
bone and two on each side. In the course of
twenty-four hours all pain ceased, and I was
able to eat and digest a good square meal, some¬
thing I had not done before in two weeks. I
got better constantly, and at the end of seven
days found myself entirely well. Since then I
have used Allcock’s Porous Plasters for
colds, coughs and pains in my side, and I have
always found them quick and effective.
