There are few men in the west whose
nMnes are l>etter known to the masses
t&an that of John Plankinton. Within
the recollection of many of his neighbors
he began life as an ordinary retail
butcher, killing his own beef, cutting it
up for ' s customers and very frequently
dtelive: ,' ig ..ie meat himself. With his
fami' ■ I.< ived in a few small rooms. A
year ago lie retired from business the
possessor of many millions of dollars.
For many years he was the head of the
great packing firm of Plankinton, Ar
mour & Co., of New York, Chicago, Mil
waukee and Kansas City, the largest con
cern of its kind in the world, which does
a business of $00,000,000 a year. Mr.
Plankinton's name is a familiar one in
'bemimercial circles all over the globe.

JOHN PLANKINTON. When lie retired
from business he was desirous of spend
ing the sunset of his life in quiet and
ease.
For years he had been a slave to his
many lines of business, retiring early,
rising early, and putting in a long, full
day at his office desk. Consequently
when he retired and the excitement and
strain of his enormous business lessened,
he broke down in health, as many a man
had done under similar circumstances be
fore him.
The story of John Plankinton's life is
not without elements of public interest.
He was born amid humble surroundings
in a rural district in Delaware on March
11, 1820. In 1832 he removed with his fa
ther's family to Pittsburg, Pa., and from
tliat city in 1844 he removed to Milwau
kee, where he has continuously lived ever
since. Heat once began business as a
batcher and retailer of meat, a trade ho
bad learned in Pittsburg. Before set
tling in Milwaukee Mr. Plankinton had
made arrangements to enter into part
nership with a young butcher already
located; but finding upon his arri
val that his prospective partner had
broken faith with him, he resolved, with
characteristic independence and energy,
to go into business on Ins own account.
On a capital, all told, of $4.20 ho set
up housekeeping, and purchased his first
stock in trade, which consisted of one
cow, for whicli he paid, after selling it,
the sum of nine dollars, securing as a
home a little frame building at a rental
of eight dollars per month, and, renting
a vacant lot, he erected his first build
ing. a frame structure, that cost SIOB.
In fourteen days after his arrival in the
town lie was fully equipped for business,
opening his little shop in September of
the year he arrived. Being a hard work
ing, economical, honest man, he soon
became the leading butcher of the place,
his sales for the first year amounting to
nearly $12,000. His business constantly
increasing, he was compelled to remove
to roomier quarters.
In 1850 he entered into partnership
with Mr. Frederick Layton, and the firm,
in addition to tin extensive retail trade,
commenced packing pork for market on
a scale limited only by the receipts of
hogs at Milwaukee. The business of the
firm continued to increase until 1861,
when it was dissolved, Mr. Plankinton
for the three succeeding years ecntinu-

HIS SON.
ing the business alone. In 1864 he formed
a partnership wjth Philip D. Armour,
under the name of Plankinton & Armour,
with an immense business in Milwaukee,
a largo house at Kansas City and still
another in New York city. The firm em
braced also one of the largest packing
establishments in the world, the house
of 11. O. Armour & Co., of Chicago. A
t few years ago Mr. Plankinton announced
that ho had all the money lie wanted
and sold out his interest in tho big pack
ing firm to his partner, Phil Armour,
retaining only his local branch. This he
kept until last year, when he sold it to
the Cudahys, who had long been in his
employ and who are now rapidly coming
to the front as big packers. In less than
two score years Mr. Plankington's $4.20
has swelled to a fortune of $8,000,000 or
$10,000,000, and tho little one horse
hutclier became a power in tbe financial
world.
Wiiate ver Mr. Plankinton lacked in edu
cation he more than made up in shrewd
ness. In his day ho was regarded as one
of the boldest and most sagacious opera
tors in the speculative provision markets
in the country. He is a tali, powerfully
built man, with smooth shaven face and
straight dark hair, which he invariably
wears long. His home on Grand avenue
is one of the finest in Milwaukee, and is
a perfect museum of fine pictures and
art bric-a-brac. He lives very quietly
with his wife and daughter, his son oc
cupying a magnificent mansion near by.
He lias always been one of tbe most pub
lic spirited men in the city. When an
exposition was planned he gave $50,000
Mtrightto it. During the recent national
laengerfest in Milwaukee he gave SI,OOO
for the best festival composition, the prize
going to a composer in Germany. Ho
Owns no less than a dozen of the largest
and finest business blocks in the city.'
His great hobby is the splendid hotel
which bears bis name. It covers a full
block, and is one of the best equipped
bostfllries in the country. He is also the
bead of one of the solid hanks of the city
that bears his name.
A couple of years ago Mr. Plankinton
was much chagrined over some local
gossip to the effect that Milwaukeeans
had to go from homo to secure first class
workmen and artisans in many lines of
business. He fumjd and fretted over
thS matter until tie determined to prove
to his fellow citizens that there were no
finer workmen anywhere than right at
home. With this idea in view, lie began
a couple of years ago (he erection of one
of the finest house* in the city. It was a
year in course of erection, and cost about
$150,000. It is built of undressed stone,
and all of the work was done by the
day by Milwaukee workmen. It is a
beautiful bit of architecture, and the in
terior is a revelation in wood carving
and decoration. An illustration of this
mansion is herewith presented.
AN EDUCATIONAL MONUMENT.
It was finally finished, and there is
probably no more complete establish
ment in America. The stables are the
finest, the lawns arc laid out in flowers,
and every detail about the place is com
plete. Rut nobody seems to want it. It
is entirely closed, and there it stands, a
magnificent monument to this man's
public spirit. "Let it stand," lie said to
some one who joked liirn about the in
vestment, "it is a meansof education. It
will teach people that our workmen are
as good as can be found anywhere.

Death of the Captain General of the Inland
f Cuba.
The late captain general of Cuba, Man

ish army. By GEN. SALAMANCA.
reason of his birth he was a life senator,
and while yet a young man achieved
distinction ;-.s an orator.
Ho served with Gen. Cordova in Italy
with the army intended to defend the
temporal power of the pope. When the
Carlist war eame on he was made a
brigadier general. During that struggle
he distinguished himself and was rapidly
advanced in rank. At one period, while
governor of Malaga, he wrested the key
of their position from the Carlist forces
on the line of the Elbro, thus forcing
their retreat. He was then created a
field marshal. Later he relieved Tortosa
by running a train at full speed over a
railroad which had been abandoned for
years. The expedition was so hazardous
that he was obliged to place guards over
the engineers to enforce his orders.
After tho war Gen. Salamanca took
his seat in the senate; but he was a
natural soldier and gave his attention to
the better equipment of the army. About
a year ago he was appointed governor
general of Cuba. He soou made himself
very popular there, though ill health,
principally on account of wounds re
ceived in the Carlist war, kept him from
paying much attention to society. He
endeavored to place the island in a per
fect state of defense, using modern
methods, including new lines of railway,
opening rivers before irot navigable, and
strengthening the fortifications. Gen.
Salamanca was a bachelor.

THAT ENGLISH MUMMY.
A RESPECTABLE RIVAL OF THE
EGYPTIAN ARTICLE.
RaUl, but OtluTwlM Perfect—Ten Hun
dred Year. Dead- A Fanning I'laee of
Worship The Mummy In Hi* Case.
Why They Jabbed It.
It seems more than curious that his
history has not been written. It is sim
ply extraordinary that even his place
of residence is known to so few among
the many thousands who pass and repass
it every day. It is true that for about
one hundred and fifty years he was se
cluded from the world, in fact, dead to
it; but for forty years he has been upon
exhibition. For forty years be lias been
a subject of great interest to a compara
tively small circle, and during that pe
riod he has never shown signs of temper
even under circumstances that might bo
warranted to rufße the composure of a
"bearded lady" at a circus. In various
parts of the United Kingdom the mere
fact of having been born a century ago
is considered sufficient to account for
any quantity of notoriety. Yet in this
article the intention is to tell something
about a person who was born, probably,
two centuries ago, and who. it can be
easily proved, ha? uot in forty years
moved a muscle.
Some days ago a discussion took place
in the pulilic prints on the subject of
mummies. In a discussion of the kind
it could hardly be expected that the
Egyptian brand would be overlooked,
but if reference had been ma le only to
the Egyptian article little would remain
to be said, for Rameses 11, as a mummy,
has really received quite as much promi
nence as he deserves.
There is a mummy that can hold its
own against all comers on exhibition in
a very modest way in the church of St.
James, Oarlickhithe, or Qarlickhy ve, or
Garlickhythe, for the name is spelt in
three ways. It was so named, according
to an old chronicle: "For that of old time,
on the River Thames, near to the church,
garlick was usually sold." The thorough
fare that bounds the church building on
the west is still known aa Garlick Hill
Not long ago an old house that stood near
the church was demolished. In digging
a cellar for a modern structure on the old
site several piles were found. These
piles were of the peculiar greenish hue
that wood which has been a long time in
salt or brackish water always obtains.
The ground in the vicinity of the church
is of chalk format ion.
So many parishioners were buried in
the little church yard that it was decided,
about forty years ago, to cover the dim
inutive cemetery with a heavy coating
of concrete. Before this was done a
large number of bodies were disturbed.
Those engaged in the work were sur
prised to find that, while the coffins had
been reduced almost to dust, the bodies
inclosed in lead lining were in a state of
almost perfect preservation.
With one exception the bodies were
reinterred. Th > exception had suffered
somewhat froui exposure to the atmos
phere and perhaps from careless han
dling, but it is today wonderfully well
preserved. The identity of this English
mummy could not be discovered, for the
coffin in which it had been incased had
crumbled away, and had not been fur
nished, apparently, with a plate. The
soil, it is supposed, had dried up the ani
mal tissue by absorbing every particle of
water, and thus prevented putrefaction.
At any rate, the mummy that can he
seen at St. James (Garlickhithe) church
shows no signs of decay today, though
it has been out of the ground forty years,
and hail been in mayhap 150 years or
more. Just within the entrance to the
church, on the south or Thames street
side, is a plain wooden case. It is about 6
feet in height, 2 feet in breadth and 18
inches in depth.
"You want to see the mummy, I sup
pose?" said the sexton, Robert Sharp,
when 1 presented myself at the church
yesterday. Without more ado he opened
the wooden ease. Inside the wooden
door was a glass front that no key would
open.
Inside the glass, gazing pensively
through eyeless sockets at a flagstone
that was a little darker than its fellows,
was the English mummy.
The skin would have been white but
for a pale yellow tinge. The skin was
everywhere smooth and intact. The
figure was that of a young man who
must have stood six feet in height and
been of fine proportions. The shoulders
were broad, the arms long and powerful
looking. Every finger and toe was per
fect. Both hands and feet must have
been small. That the figure was that of
a young man seems certain from its gen
eral appearance, but more particularly
from ihe small size and excellently pre
served condition of the teeth. There had
been hair upon the head when the body
was exhumed, but atmospheric intluences
had destroyed every vestige of it. Un
less the visitor looks closely at the head
an impression will be carried away that
there is still hair upon it. This impres
sion will be due to a network of cobwebs
which is yearly growing thicker. When
the body was taken from the ground the
teeth were perfectly white. They are
gradually turning black.
"The glass front was put iu the case,"
Sexton Sharp said, "to prevent visitors
from jabbing tiie mummy with fingers,
canes or umbrellas."
"Why did they jab the mummy?"
Sexton Sharp said lie supposed "they
wanted to hear his insides lattle." He
then explained that while handling thci
mummy he and others had discovered;
that the intestines had become shriveled,
and would make a noise like a kettle
drum when the mummy was shaken.
Not a great many people visit the
church to see the mummy, the sexton
said. For people who did not live in the
city the church was iu an out of the
way place, he supposed. Ho had heard
that the mummy was 200 years old, but
could not certify to that of his personal
knowledge, for he was only 43 years of
age, and had "been around the church
only about fortv years."—London Her"

Subjugated,
The word subjugated is of Latin origin
—sub jugum. under the yoke. Although
oftenest used in a figurative sense, it
might have been applied in nil literal
ness to a certain Maine boy, whose singu
lar experiment with a calf, as described
by The Lewiston Journal, may recall to
our readers tlie recently published story
of "Bub and Broad."
Tliis farmer lad had always taken a
special interest in oxen, and delighted to
brandish the goad stick over his father's
good natured pair. His great ambition
was to own for himself a pair of steers
Last summer he became the proud pos
sessor of half a pair; in other words, his
father gave him a young calf. Of course
the steer could not he yoked up hv itself.

therefore, but place one end of the yoke
round his own neck and fasten it there.
The result may be imagined. The
other half of the team started, and pretty
soon a passing neighbor heard a shrill
outcry:
"Stop us, Mr. Smith, stop us! We're
running away!"
The neighbor came to the rescue, and
was attempting to unyoke the boy, when
lie called out:
" T'other one, Mr. Smith, t'other onol
I'll stand!"— Youth's Companion.
An Aggravation.
Clmi les R. Thome, the elder, was al
ways a great traveler, and in their early
days his three boys traveled with him.
The family went ail over the world
Once they were coming to America from
China on a Pacific Mail steamer, and the
ice on board ship practically gave out
What could be saved was carefully put
aside for the sick people aboard and the
well passengers were compelled to drink
the brackish, warm water on hand. Any
one of them would have given §lO for a
swig of cold water. One night when the
cabin was full Charlie Thorne left his
stateroom with a covered tin pail. Pret
ty soon he walked back through the
cabin. He had filled his pail with the
warm water, put a tumbler inside and
covered it up. The rattling of the tum
bler suggested ice, and the parched
tongues of the passengers hung out fur
ther than ever at the sound. "Where
did you get the ice?" asked a particularly
miserable party. "It's for a sick friend
of mine," he said, and he disappeared in
his stateroom. During the evening he
made four of these trips through the
crowded cabin, and when he finally ouit

What It Takes to Make a Hoy.
Dave Evans has a 4-year-old boy who
is an inveterate gum chewer. The boy's
name is John, and he thinks it is a great
hardship to put aside his gum when he
goes to bed at night. He is inclined
very much to rebel against such disci
pline A few Sundays ago lie went to
the cemetery with his parents. Passing
a pasture along the track, little John saw
a cow lying down and chewing her cud.
Lie at once exhibited wild alarm and ex
citedly exclaimed: "Oh, ma, look there.
That cow has gone to bed chewing her
gum, and you won't let little John do
that." One evening John's elder brother
and sister were discussing anatomy and
looking over a physiological work. John
was particularly interested in the pict
ures of sections of the human being.
After they had got through he took the
book, and, pointing to the lungs, heart,
liver, an arm, a leg and other dissevered
members of the human frame, he in
quired: "Does it take all these to make
a boy?"— Chicago Herald.
Itt'tnoTAl of Moles.
I u a recent number of The Practitioner,
Dr. Jamison writes on the use of sodium
ethylate in removing hairy moles on the
face. He operated in this way: The
hairs were cut off as closely as possible
with a very lino pair of scissors, and the
mole was then painted over with sodium
ethylate, a fine glass rod being used.
When the mole had a varnished look the
ethylate was gently rubbed in with the
glass rod, to inako it penetrate more
deeply into the hair follicles. The mole
had quite a black look when the opera
tion was over. A hard crust formed
over it, which was nearly three weeks in
becoming detached. When it came off
the hairs were seen to be destroyed, and
the surface of the mole had a smooth,
somewhat cicatrical appearance, of a
much lighter color than before; and this
favorable condition continued until the
mark was scarcely noticeable.—Herald
of Health.
Fatal Bravery.
In the sanguinary wars of the Turks
in Hungary, Count Ludovic Lodrom, on
the eve of a battle, harangued his sol
diers in the true martial strain. "That
is all very well," said a German veteran,
stepping out in front of the ranks. "That
is all very well for you who are mounted
on a swift horse, and are already think
ing of saving yourself. But for us"—
Whereupon Ludovic immediately dis
mounted, drew liis sword and ham
stringed the animal. Then he exclaimed:
"Today, then, comrades, you shall see
me as captain and soldier fighting on
foot by your side and on the same terms."
He was so severely wounded in the'fight
that the Turks, who took liirn prisoner,
put him to death and sent his head to
Constantinople, belioving his recovery
impossible and that they could never
carry him. there alive.—All the Year
Round.
