PAIKEI 6ri*f Sketch Who Hat Been Nomi nated by the Democratic Party for President. Alton Brooks Parker was born In Cortland, Cortland County, State of New York, on May 14, 1&62, con?e quently is In the very prime of man hood. being In hie 63rd year, and in his esse It la the prime of a vigorous and healthy manhood. The Btock from which ho sprung, on both sides, la all KngUsh. Ilia great-grandfather, John Parker, wan born at Worcester, Mass., in 1751. Ho wan a farmer, and left his [dough In 1776 to servo in the patriot army under Washington as a private, and so continued until the American li? public was established, when ho re turned to his farm, where ho lived out hi* life, respected by his neighbors as a man of independence, Intelligence ami industry. He reared a family, of which, however, little is known except of one son, also named John, who, lu 1803, came Into this Htate and bought a farm at Cortland? the same farm which at this d&y Is In the possession of 41ton Brooks. This John was recognized hy his neighbors as a highly educated man, of great intelligence and public spirit. He was heavily handicapped In the struggle of lift* by a farm on which rested the. burden of debt, a large fam ily and 111 health. Himself a man of education, duly appreciating the ad vantages of culture and truly measur ing the lack of it, until the day of his death it was a source of bitterness with him that he' had not been able to give to his sons and daughters the advan tages he himself had enjoyed. l?arly the burden t>f the conduct of this Cort land County farm fell upon the shoul ders of his son, John, the third In direct line. His life was a struggle, and he carried the burden of It with him to the grave. Of little scholastic train ing, 4hls John, third, was a studious man, who read widely and deeply, and who preached In Ills family the truths of tho value of an education until he bred In his flon Alton, at least, a burn ing desire for learning. HIS EDUCATION. Beyond the academy. was the normal school with i t h , ' lijlghor branches of study and the Albany Law School, goals to bo reached In that struggle j to enter the ranks of lawyers of the State. When academy days were done there was money to be earned to meet the expense* of attendance upon them. So for four years ho in found teach ing school, beginning at. Virgil, Cort innd County, at the age of 1(5. There is another story that is characteristic. At Virgil there was a .scholar so much older than the new teacher that he de clined to submit to rule and authority, and when force was attempted rebelled and struck out at "the new teacher," who promptly knocked the recalcitrant down and,, collaring him, took him home to tell his parents what he had done. The episode established his un disputed authority thereafter. From \ lrgil he went to Blnghampton, in 11 rot) me County, where he taught in the public school and between the two places earned money sufficient to carry him through the desired term at tho Normal school. Then he migrated to Ulster County and taught school In Rochester of that county, where he earned the money at $3 per day to give him the desired two years' course at tho Albany Law School. Here at Rochester, too, ho won a bride In the person ,<bf Mary Lee Schoonmaker. With the com pletion of his term ot Albany ftnd IiIb graduation in .1872, ho was admitted to practice at the bar. His days of teach ing were over. Settling in Kingston ho hecamo first a clerk and subsequently an associate, with the firm of Schoon maker & Hardenberg, the leading law lirm of that section of the country, and entered industriously and enthusiasti cally into tho practice of tho law, as he had determined when a boy of J 3. It had been done, this translation from an aspiring boy to a full fledged law yer, In seven years? a period of strug gle, of prlvatlou, of incessant labor with head and hands, but never with lessening of purpose, rather with eye firmly fixed on the goal. A FIGURE UP THE STATE: It was not until 18S5, that ho achiev ed a State-wide fame in politics. Tha fact of the action of Mr. Parker in tho | campaign of that year has been under discussion quite recently, and many misstatements have been made, so that misapprehension and jfcon fusion exists in many quarters and, indeed, misun derstanding. A full statement of tho facts, therefore, in this consideration will ho justified. ? In 18S2 the Democrats had returned to power In the State of New York by electing ({rover Cleveland Governor and David R. Hill Lieutenant Governor. The differences that had rent, the Democratic party had l>oen overcome In the face of tho chaos that oxisted in that year In tho Republican ranks. Tammany Hall, which in 1S79 had bolted the Democratic Convention be cause it was not permitted to dictate the Gubernatorial nomination, was admitted to partial representation of the county of New "York.' Almost im mediately on assumption of office Grover Cleveland had made the im pression that he was a man of high ideas of duty, administration and of official responsibility. Even before it was mooted in New York State people In remote parts began to talk of him as promising Presidential timber. All of the elements of the Democratic party were in practical accord. Two vears later Cleveland was formaly presented to the Democracy of the nation as New* York's candidate. Ostensibly he was the unanimous choice of- tho Now York State Convention, for tho delegation was under the unit rule, and in its majority was for Cleveland. Tammany Hall, however, suddenly went into op position, blatant and.- aggressive though tied by the jrule. At this Nation al Convention as an earnest advocate of New York Governor, as was his as foclato from the Ulster district, was Alton B. Parker, who made his first eppearance on the field of national politic- This was In I8ft4. He had at tracted the attention of Daqfcl Man nine, then tho State leader, by bis ser vices In uistur County and his labors la organ! ting victory for Schoonmaker Ih two campaigns, and had been con sidered aa available for Lieutenant Governor in 1882. - v ; :r . ~ \ ~ ;,\p * x". * - - v: - --'k JudgQ farker was man ager of th# notable campaign that wade lllll Gov ernor.

His brother, Fred W. Parker, Is ongaged in the in surance business in New York city and his name ends the roll of the family. REBUFF WAS CUTTING ONE. Fitting Retort of "Mad Poet" to an Ungentleman'y Remark. Many stories arc told of McDonald Clarke, known fifty years ago in New York as the "mad poet," which show that he had a vein of great shrewd ness, such as is often possessed by people who are counted insane. One day lie was seated at a table in a New York hotel qufctly eating his simplo dinner when two young men took their seats at the same table. McDonald Clarko was a well known figure, and the young men at once recognized him though he did not know them. They were not gentlemen in the best sense of the word, and it oc curred to them that they might have some sport with the poor poet. Con sequently one of them said in an un necessarily clear tone: "I have ?een almost everything and everybody In New York except Mc Donald Clarke, i liavo a great admira tion for bis poems, and I would give a great deal to see the man." When he passed the mad poet lean ed forward and said with evident gratification : "Sir, I am McDonald Clarke, whom you say you wish to see." The young man stared at him with much rudeness for a moment, and then drawing a quarter from his pocket lie laid it on the poet's plate, saying, "That's for the sight!" Clarke looked at the coin for sin in stant, and then placing It in his pock et, he took out a "York shilling," 12% cents. This he handed to the young tnan, saying gravely, "Children half trice." } TH li DANGER8 IN DUST. fclea for Less Relentless Activity In the Household.

Rockefeller .Jr., was talking to his Sunday school class about in dustry. "Our industry," he said, with a faint smile, "should not be of such a nature that the remark onco applied to a cer tain Scot could ever be applied to us. "I'll tell you what the remark I allude to was. "Two old farmers were walking down a road near Dunfermline when ono of them pointed to a distant fipld and said, shading hia eyes from the sun:' "'That flguro over there? I wonder if it's a scarecrow.' "He stopped and regarded the fig ure very attentively for a space. Then ho concluded, In a satisfied ione: " 'Yos.l It's not moving, it must he a scarecrow. ' ^ "But tlV^ other f^iinier had sharper eyes and abettor. understanding, may bo, of certain types of human nature. | "'No,' he said, dryly; 'no, It's not a scarecrow. It's a man working by tho day.'
