Born seventy-three years ago of Jewish parents, the money making faculty is his by inheritance and training. A native of Germany he came to America in boyhood, lived for a few years in Illinois and then removed to Waverly, Iowa, where he has since lived. Mr. Slimmer is a small, unassuming man, whose dress is the exceedingly humble one of a twelve dollar suit and old-style boots. suit and old-style boots. His money has been made by hard, shrewd work; he bought, fed and sold cattle, he bought and sold land, and he made money in the lumber business. ber business. He has never married. nor will he allow women in the directories of the institutions which he helps to found. He claims that though they are sympathetic and emotional, they cannot do anything without getting up factions and quarrels, and that they put their personal friends into profitable positions whenever they can. Mr. Slimmer does not think or talk of his work as charity. "My possessions are a trust fund," he said, "which will have to be disposed of at some time, and there is no better time than while I am still here to plan and figure out what is best to do, and I know of no one who can do it better than myself. I am a careful business man, and have had the advantage of a large experience in accumulating what I have. got my money from the masses, and back to the masses, and for their benefit, it shall go. It is not charity; I cannot take the money away with me when I go from this field of human activity; I cannot wear it or eat it; I cannot sleep more than other men, and it would cost nothing if I did. I have come to see my duty quite plainly, I have tested my system by my own conscience, and by the conscience of others."

HAYNER, Sporting Editor "The Chicago Daily News." ASEBALL.-During the past two months there have been several changes in the standing of the clubs in both the National and the American leagues. In the American the White Stockings have been running close to the top and finally took the lead, and with their team working well after the successful eastern trip, promise to do as Pittsburg is doing in the National, namely, refuse to let another club pass them. The fight in the American league between all clubs is a pretty one. It is to be regretted that two of the clubs have apparently lost heart owing to internal complications. These clubs are the Detroit and Baltimore combinations. Both have slumped sadly, Detroit playing far below her natural gait. She is in danger of losing Pitcher Mercer, who may go to the coast. In the National the Pittsburg team is making a runaway race of it though pressed to fight pretty hard for some of her games. Brooklyn is making a strong bid for second place honors, though Chicago on her recent form is apparently playing the position safe. The fight over this place is so close that the loss of a game names a new team for the position. When the Pittsburg and Chicago teams met here last Conroy and Tinker swung a few blows at each other because of Conroy's alleged dirty ball. Both were suspended. Tinker was reinstated after three days and allowed to play with the Chicago team again. In the American league President Ban Johnson suspended Manager McGraw for taking his team off the field before a game had ended and put Captain Jimmy Collins of the Boston team off the bench for three Drake for $10,000 and received $10,000 Second horse was owned and trained by ་otesa Wt.
