HtSTORN OF ONE BUSINESS ENTER?
PRISE IN NEW YORK.
A Tooth Who RHU Avray from Korne
aa? W-.?t to the Metropolis Grew to
Be ai Very Successful 3I?rehant-ni?
tfUe** Share ia His Great Success.
A good example of how* fortunes are
made in New York city is afforded hy?
the life and business operations of Mil?
lard Fillmore Tompkins, who died at the
age of thirty-ni^e Jears. Mr. Tompkins
tras almost penniless when, a mere boy,
be first came to this city. He understood
his business, however, and he had the
courage to strike out into a new path.
The result was that building his busi?
ness np little by little he died worth
|000,000. To his wife, fally as much as
to himself, this success is due, and Mr.
Tompkins was always the first to ac?
knowledge this.
When Mr. Tompkins was fourteen
years old he ran away from the home
where he was bom, at Newport, R. I.,
and came to this city, with the* usual i
resolve of making a fortune for him- j
self. He had ten dollars in his pocket
when he started. This, with what i
knowledge of groceries he had picked
"Bp at the markets near his home, consti
tilted his stock in trade. Naturally on
leashing the city he drifted to the gro?
cery districts, and got work as clerk in
a grocery store on Catharine street.
The proprietor of the store at first paid '?
the lad barely enough to keep him alive, J
but realizing that young Tompkins was
getting so thorongh a knowledge of the j
trade as to make him valuable he raised
his wages very soon.
Instead of living in accordance with
his increased means, Tompkins contin?
ued to live in the same manner as be?
fore, pntting aside all his surplus money :
for the purpose of buying a horse and
track. A picture of him taken shortly
after his fifteenth birthday looks more
Hke that of a man of twenty-eight than
a young boy. He was then tali and well
developed, witTi ? good sized mustache .
and '"sideburns." It was more than two j
years before the young clerk had saved
enough to buy such a horse and truck j
as he wanted. When at length he went !
into the suck business he made money
?0 rapidly that at the end of two years
fee was enabled to sell out and establish
a retail grocery store in Spring street,
sear Clinton market.
It had been his idea since his arrival
in New York to own a grocery store.
There were at that time no cheap cash i
down groceries in the city. Tompkins
made np his mind that there was money
ta be made in a purely cash business,
with a cheap scale of prices for trade
among the poorer people. Following
?at this idea he increased his business to
such an extent that he soon moved to a j
larger store, and then to a still larger
one. Within two years after the pur?
chase of his first store Mr. Tompkins,
now twenty-one years old, bought out
the large grocery at Spring and Sullivan
streets, and hired another building for a
storehouse near by. It was about this
time that he met Mina Josephine Coop?
er, of 27 Charlton street. Hefell in love
with her, and after a short courtship,
notwithstanding that Miss Cooper was
only sixteen years old, they were mar?
ried. From that time on Mr. Tompkins
had a partner in his business as well as
in his life.
"Jon ?0 on and eztend the business,"
said young Mrs, Tompkins to her hus?
band. **I can manage the Spring street
store while yr?u look after the general
malted" And s!*e did. With a school
knowledge of figures and bookkeeping
asbe went into the Spring street stoie,
mastered the business in every detail,
rand alone and unaided has conducted it
'opto the present time in such a manner
,as to make it the mott successful estab?
lishment owned hy Mr. Tompkins. The
business spread steadily, new stores be
-ing established in Bleecker street, Ninth
and Sixth avenues. ;astd in other places
in this city and Jersey City, until at the
time of his death Mr. Tompkins owned
.eleven retail stores, besides the two
^wholesale^stablishments at ?'?-61 Ganse
voort-street.
From the first Mr. Tompkins stuck by
his principles of cash, payments. He
discounted all bis bills, and thus was
able to buy where others could not,
dealers who were in need of ready
money often coming to him in prefer?
ence to others, as they knew that they
could get cash for their goods. It was
his idea to drop gradually his retail
trade and go into the wholesale busi?
ness entirely. The care of so many es?
tablishments was wearing on him, but
he absolutely refused to let any one else
take part in toe management.
**I have built np the business and I
will run it," he said. "I want no part?
ners or managers to tell me what to do.
When I want advice I can go to my
wife. I would rather have her judg?
ment on matters connected with the
grocery business than that of any man
faa New York. I have been guided al?
ways by her advice, and to her fully as
much, if not more than to myself, the !
success of our business is due."- ^ew j

Ko iv Sullivan Compose* ?>Iasie.
Sir Arthu* Sullivan, the composer,
was rec&Etly asked where he was able
to compose best, ami under what cir?
cumstances his ideas flowed most freely.
He replied that there was no place
?n which he had so many inspirations as
in a railway carriage. Then- is some- j
thing in the rapidity of the motion, in
the clanging of the iron and in the whir?
ring of the wheels which seems to ex- j
cite his imagination and supplies mate?
rial for a host of harmonies.-London

To Predict a Storm.
By placing two iron bars at seven or
eight yards distance front each other,
and putting: them in communication on !
sue side by an insulated wire and on th?? j
other side with a telephone, it is said that
a storm can be predicted twelve hours j
ahead through a certain dead sound j
beard in the receiver. - Philadelphia

Ho j al Persons WboOnn American Land.
According to the information and be?
lief of a wid6 awake member of the
Beal Estate exchange, nearly all of the
foreign potentates are investors in New
York real estate. He declares that th*>
purchase of a valuable piece of property
in Nassau street, made about a year ago
by a foregn banking house, was an in?
vestment of Queen Victoria's. "The
queen owns cth'-r rea J estate in this
city," said the well posted mau, "and
she has bought thousands of acres of
land out west. Tho royal family of
Germany has extensive investments in
this city ?nd elsewhere, and so has the
king of" Sweden, The ex-Empress Isa?
hella of Spain owns several pieces of
property in this city and in other parts
of the United States. She is a woman
of great foresight. The land on which
the Western Union building stands was
once the property of the Empress Eu
genie, and I presume that she still has j
?ome investments here.
^King Humbert of Italy is reputed to ?
be a judicious buyer of property in this j
country, and persons suspected of being
agents of the'czaf of Rnssia have been
loolnng about o? tnis side of the-water
forr^?a^elas3 investments. I tell you
those f?eop?e who are in the king busi?
ness M&?^pe are shrewd. They can
?O^?S^Sw soon they may be shaken
off their thrones by political revolutions,
and they meando have something to fall
back on inj&is land of the free. How
much ?gat?er off Dom Pedro would have
been fW?e had invited a few millions of
Brazilian money ft?pfe,several years ago."
-New York Times.
Comr?: uiiicating with Paris.
The methyls employed by the Parisian
autl?orities for communicating with the
provinces during the siege of Paris were
persevering and ingenious. The princi?
pal means of sending letters was by bal?
loons and carrier pigeons, but many
other plans were tried. It was almost
impossible fora messenger to get through
the German lines. Even when other
difficulties could be overcome the dan?
ger of a search and a discovery of the
dispatch was great.
Many of the messengers made incisions
in the skin and hid a dispatch under the
epidermis. Others provided themselves
with hollow ten centime pieces or hol?
low keys, which could be opened like a
box and in which dispatches could be
. hidden. One was accustomed to hide
his dispatch under an artificial hollow
tooth. These dispatches of course were
written in cipher, and covered only a
fragment of paper.
Attempts were made to cross the
enemy's lines by following the caves and
natural tunnels under the left branch of
the Seine, and by diving and crossing
the bed of the river in diving suits, but
these plans failed.
A curious scheme was the putting of
letters into little hollow spheres of zinc,
and throwing these spheres into the
Seine or its tributaries, hoping that they
would float to Paris. They did float to
Paris, but not until after the armistice.
It was supposed that they were stopped
by dams, or that they were discovered
and held back by the Germans until the
siege was at an end.-Youth's Compan?
ion.
Orijjfn of "Lynch Law."
Webster's Dictionary, title "Lynch
law,*' says: "The practice of punishing
men for crimes or offenses by prirater
unauthorized persons, without a legal
trial. The term is said to be derived
from a Virginia farmer named Lynch,
who thus took the law into his own
hands." These are the main facts in re?
gard to the origin of this celebrated
.'law," which, as a matter of fact, is not
"law" at all.
In Campbell county, Va., some of the
rankest and most obnoxious Tories were
taken care of by law, but there were
many others not reacliable by the statu?
tory enactment. This being the case,
Colonel Charles Lynch, Colonel Robert
Anderson., his brother-in-law, and one
Galloway, a neighbor, determined to rid
their part of the county of its enemies.
They accordingly seized the leaders of
the several Tory factions and flogged
them so severely that they were only too
glad of the chance offered them to
"leave, and leave for good."
This summary treatment having
proved so effectual in Campbell county,
it was soon tried in othercounties where
King George had the strongest follow?
ing. Such procedures soon became
known as "trials by Judge Lynch," and
the justice" obtained in such courts as
"Lynch law."-St. Louis Republic.
Universality of the Sign Langrua^e.
It is a fact worth? noting that the signs
used by the Indians of North America
are identical in may instances with those
employed by the deaf mutes of tcxlay.
A short time ago a friend of the writer,
who had spent considerable time among
the Indians, but who had never talked
with a dea/ mute before, conversed witb
some pupils of tue New York institution
by means of signs which he had learned
feom the red men. "Where are you go?
ing*'* as? '*! am gwng away on horse?
back f-f were the same when given by the
3eaf mute* and by tbe visitor.
Another instrmco showing the sign
language to bo a universal one was
when the mother of the writer, herself
a deaf person, while attending a con?
vention of instructors of the deaf in
France, conversed on various topics
with a mute friend by means of signs.
The French lady had no knowledge of
the English language, while the Ameri?
can knew hardly a word of French.
