THE STORY OF STEPHEN GIRARD.
Some Odd Points About the Noted Philadelphia
Philanthropist.—Bitter Man and a Barrator.—How
the Fund was Accumulated Which Founded a Col-
lege.—The Trusts Sixty-Six Years.
When Stephen Girard died in 1831 his
estate was valued at $7,500,000. Of this
$140,000 went to his family, $65,000 went
in gratuities, $116,000 to Philadelphia
charities, $500,000 improvement of river
front and $300,000 in internal improve-
ments in the city. He intended his col-
lege to stand in the lot extending from
Chestnut to Market, between Eleventh
and Twelfth streets, but subsequently
bought Pell Hall, on Ridge road, 45 acres,
for $30,000, and by a codicil changed the
college to its present site.
Fortunately for the estate the executors
were conservative business men, and they
went to work to close up all his business
ventures and collect debts. Had Girard
lived six years longer there would, in all
probability, be no Girard college to-day,
for the smash of 1837 carried down nearly
every prominent merchant in the United
States, and his widely extended business
ventures would not have escaped. More-
over, he was nearly blind when he died,
and Roberts Vaux, seeing him groping
along the wall of the Girard bank in search
of the door, said to a young friend, ‘“There
is a lesson, young man. See that lord of
useless millions—of what avail is all his
wealth 27
Girard was regarded hy his contem,
poraries as an exceptionally lucky man-
but he had his business vicissitudes. Early
in life he had a partner who robbed him,
and it was only after a long litigation that
he got rid of him. Despite his hard-
headedness he was superstitious and had
unbounded faith in his ships ; but this was
rudely shaken by the loss of the Mon-
tesqieu. In 1810 she sailed for China, go-
ing around the Horn,
in Canton, having made several short voy-
ages in the meantime. In November,
1812, she sailed for home, coming around
the Cape of Good Hope, and in all that
long passage saw no man-0’-war or neutral
vessel to warn her of the breaking out of
war between this country and England.
She came into the Capes of Delaware at
night in March, 1813, and began firing
guns for a pilot. This attracted the atten-
tion of the blockading British Irigate Poic-
tiers, and the Montesqieu was taken.
Girard was his own insurer and the loss
was a serious one. The vessel was worth
$25,000 and the cargo invoiced $164,744.
Word was sent to Girard that he could
ransont the ship for $180,000 in specie, and
this amount was at once sent to Newcastle
in three wagons in charge of the late Prof.
Wagner,
party of English sailors received the mon-
ey, and then all hands went on a spree.
The Montesqien came ub next day, and
her cargo realized $488,655, the teas sell-
ing for $2.50 a pound. Girard
trusted a carzo in the Montesqien again.
Hesold her and she was lost on her next
voyage.
Of all the fleet of fine ships the Rosseau
survived the longest. Two years ago she
lay at the wharl at New Bedford a disman-
tled whaler to be broken, up for her copper
fastenings. Years after her degradation one
instance of her positive good luck is on
record. She made what was known in
sailor tradition as the *‘plum pudding voy-
age,” leaving New Bedford for the Pacific.
She struck a school of enormous spermace-
tis off tlie Brazil banks and took in a cargo
of oil in nineteen days worth $350,000.
The Voltaire was sunk in the harbor of
Charleston in 1863 to keep the rebels from
coming, and the same fate befel the Ward-
rop Sims, another famous Philadel shia
merchantman.
As an instance of his good fortune, his
cleaning out a balance of over $1,000,000
in the hands of the Barings in London just
before the war broke out is in evidence.
He bought from English holders stock of
the bank of the United States at $420 per
share, and at the closing of that institution
was paid par $500. Moreover, he bought
their bank building on Third street for
$120,000--it had cost $340,000—and began
banking ; 1816 was a panic year. There
was frost in every month, snow lay in the
woods in July, all crops were cut off and
wheat sold at $3 per bushel. Girard alone
of all the bankers, redeemed his notes in
specie, but they were as scarce as gold,
and he never paid them out, if possible.
It was Girard’s real estate purchases that
made his works of beneficence permanent.
In 1807 he bought from John Dunlap the
square of ground hounded by Chestnut,
Market, Eleventh and Twelfth streets, pay-
ing $100,000 for it, and this produces to-
day an income of $500,000. Healso owned
568 acres of fine farm land in the Neck,
and this, sold at high prices, has greatly
strengthened the estate. But after his
death troubles came thick and fast. After
he made his will he bought considerable
bropetty, and after long litigation it was
decided that this was not included in the
dispositions of the will. He had bought
from the trustees of the bank of the United
States four tracts of coal land in Schuyl-
kill county and in 1853, just as the prop-
erty began to yield a large income. the Gi-
rard heirs in this country and France
brought suit and recovered them, while at
the same time a large tract of land and
slaves in Louisiana, worth half a million,
was lost to the estate The $2,000,000 he
set apart for building proved inadequate,
owing to the shrinkage in value of the se-
curities due to the failure of the bank of
the United States, so it became necessary to
draw upon the fund set aside for perma-
nent endowment. The college cost $1,933, -
821 78. Among the executors was Thomas
P. Cope, a sagacious old Quaker, who had
no faith in the management of the hank of
the United States, and after much opposi-
tion, he succeeded in persuading his co-ex-
ecutors to sell a large block of the stock,
and this eventually saved the estate nearly
$2,000,000.
So slowly did the estate gain in re-
sources, despite the most careful nursing,
that it was fully believed it would be nee-
essary to appeal sooner or later to the State
for aid in maintaining the college, hut the
enormous enhancement in value of real
estate that came with the termination of
the war made this unnecessary, and in
1883, after all costs and charges were paid,
there remained a surplus of $32,352.32,
and the permanent fund had increased to
$7,856,717.75, and to-day the endownment
fund of the college is $12,500,000. with a
yearly income of $1,400,000, while addi-
tional buildings costing $1,000,000 have
been erected to accommodate the increased
membership. :
It is to be regretted that Girard’s origi-
nal design of building in the four acres on
Market street was ever abandoned. The
tract was beautifully wooded, it had peach
and apple orchards and a very fine garden.

It would have been a magnificent, adorn-
ment to the city. On the Twelfth street
side was a fine old mansion painted a
bright yellow, and in this Robert Morris
died. From 1832 the block bounded by
Girard street and Chestnut street was the
most aristocratic quarter of the city and no
signs, professional or otherwise were per-
mitted. The buildings were changed to
stores in 1870.
Girard was an odd man with strange con-
tradictions of character. His temper was
fearful and he had a vast command of bit-
ter language. When anything went wrong
it was his habit to jump on his head clerk,
Robertjat, a St. Domingo refugee. He was
a prodigious snuff-taker, and when Girard
commenced he would take snuff by the
hand full and sneeze like a dinner horn.
The apprentices in the outer office always
knew by Robertjat’s trumpeting that there
was trouble inside and kept away. Finall y
the place would get impregnated with
rapee ; it would invade Girard’s nose then
came a boneshaking sneeze and he would
rush out of the room, anathematizing him-
self and every one else in French.
One principle dominated his life, & desire
to master everybody. He was eternally in
litigation. would sue a man for a dollar
and pursue the matter as earnestly as if his
whole fortune depended on it.
He occasionally indulged in saturnine
practical jokes. One year he had on his
farm in the Neck a bed of very fine straw-
berries that he sold for fity cents a quart at
his stalls in Second street market. These
he put in charge of one of his hired Irish-
men, with strict injunctions that he was
not to eat one. A few hours after he called
the man in and asked him: to take a
glass of wine, handing him a goblet of
claret. The poor fellow drank it and in
two minutes was the sickest man in Passy-
unk. He vomited, and his delinquency
was made manifest. Girard was delighted
until, hearing a noise outside, he looked
into the garden. Mad with rage his vic-
tim was jumping on the beds, and in a
few minntes not a berry remained.
Is It a Railroad Scheme.
There is a lurking suspicion in the minds
of some people that the Klondyke is an or-
ganized boom and the Canadian Pacific
railroad company is at the bottom of it.
The question of greater or less auriferous
territory in the water shed of the Yukon |
is quite apart from the **hoom.’’ Gold has
been known to be there in considerable
quantities for years. Prineipal Dawson,
of McGill College, Montreal, attested to
that fact when he began those geological
examinations in the extreme north which
first gave him eminence among scientific
men. It is true the geologists shake their
heads over his declaration that fossils are
traceable in the Laurentian division of the
Eozoic period. But this is one of the nar-
row lines, not effecting a broader matter
like the presence of gold in large quanti-
ties in a given formation. His son, of the
dominion geological survey, has confirmed
ing there is nowhere questioned. The
Canadian Pacific has always intended to
extend its line northwest and down the
tered this excitement to float the securities
in the London market, which are needed
to make the extension. The Canadian Pa-
cific has profited by the services of the rail- |
way men from the States, who, while con-
ducting the affairs of the company with
success, have themselves shared in the pros-
perity they have done so much to create.
One of them'is Sir William C. Van Horn,
who commenced life on a freight train as
brakesman in Pennsylvania, became super-
intendent of the St. Louis, Kansas City
and northern, then of the Southern Minne-
sota, and put his foot on the ladder of
great success when he was appointed super-
intendent of the Manitoba division of the
Canadian Pacific, of which he is now presi-
dent. His right hand man is T. G.
Shaughnessy, from one of the
pavies in the State. The third party to
the “hoon” in Klondyke is named as Mr,
Belt, who was mixed up in South Africa
affairs a few years ago and was recentl y be-
fore a parliamentary committee with Flora
Shaw, Dr. Jameson, Sir H. Willoughby,
Cecil Rhodes and others. He is called the
great London ‘‘boomer.”” The two gentle-
men first named are credited with having
railway com-
{ popularized the noble mysteries of draw
| poker in the Dominion and hold their high
| celebration in the quiet rooms of the St.
{ James’ Club, ‘of Montreal.
William attained the cross and order of St. |
Before Sir
Michael and St. George, with which Her
Gracious Majesty makes knights of colo-
nial subjects, he passed a criticism on the
Pennsylvania railway worthy of himself.
{ It has probably heen repeated, as it de-
serves to he, although I have not otherwise
heard it. The Pennsylvania railway, he
said, is the only one in the world that suc-
cessfully does three things at one time.
It pleases its patrons, satisfies its sharehold-
and enriches its managers.

A Fairy Story.
One hot summer's day a child, tired
with play, fell asleep under a rose bush.
He dreamed he was traveling on a dusty
road over a desert country, when suddenly
he was arrested by a most sweet and pleas-
ant odor. He looked around to discover
from whence it came, but could see noth-
ing except sand and cacti ; then he noticed
that it appeared to issue from the ground,
and looking down, perceived on the road 2
hard lump of clay that seemed to have
fallen from some passing wagon. Taking
it up, he found that it was from this ugly
thing the delicious odor came. and he won.
dered greatly, and said to it :
“How comes it that a lump of clay can
smell like a rose? Do my eyes deceive
me, or has some wicked fairy changed a
rose to an earthen clod 2’?
The clay answered very humbly :
“T am just what I seem, but I have
lived under a rose tree. and the flowers
looked kindly on meand pitied my coudi-
tion. ‘We wish we could make you like
ourselves,” said they ; ‘but since we can-
not do this, we will endow you with our
perfume.’ So they dropped their leaves on
me, and now, wherever I go, people recog-
nize me as the roses’ friend.”
“Remember, my hoy,” he said, *‘if you
keep company with good people you will
carry the fragrance of goodness with you
wherever you go. This dream also teaches
you that good deeds do not die with the
doers of them. The roses are dead, hut
their gift is embalmed in the clay vou
have in your hand.”’—Jane P. Rowe in the
Waverly.

A Slander on Fulton County
The Fulton Democrat calls a halt on the
frequent newspaper statements that that
county is ‘‘the only county in Pennsylvania
withouta railroad.”’ This assertion may do
us a lot of mischief among strangers. Now
to set ourselves straight before a cold and un-
charitable world, we want to say that
the Tuscarora Valley road, if built, will
not be the first railroad to touch Fulton
county. The East Broad Top has already
earned the distinction of being the first to
cut her borders and its line passes through
the northwestern corner of Fulton county
a distance of more than one rod. Fulton
county is nof without a railroad."
Here is some good advice : Learn to
laugh as it is better than medicine. Learn
how to tell a story. A well-told story is as
welcome as a sunbeam in a sick room.
Learn to keep vour own troubles to your-
self. The world is too busy to care for
your ills and sorrows. Learn to stop croak-
ing. If you cannot see any good in the
world, keep the bad to yourself. Learn to
hide your pains and aches under a pleasant
smile. No one cares to hear whether you
have the earache, headache or rheumatism.
Don’t ery. Tears do well enough in novels,
but they are cut of place in real life. The
good-humored man or woman is always
welcome, bat the dyspeptic or hypochon-
driac is not wanted anywhere, and is a
nuisance as well.
