; department stores In the world, sit
j uated directly in the heart of the
"Quaker City" and directly opposite
! the seventy million dollar city hall
at Broad and Market streets.
With two other great stores in the j
same city and a like number of gi
gantic storeB in New York City where
one may purchase everything from a
needle to an anchor, from the fur
nishings of an immense hold to those
needed for a diminutive dwelling, his
upbuilding of a colossal business with
its great factories throughout the
world where he manufactures tre
mendous stocks of laceS, carpets, fur
niture, clothing, Jewelry, etc., and
all these operated by a vest army of
employees, his life history Is nothing
short of wondrously meteoric.
Born a poor boy, away out at
"Point Breeze" on the extreme
southern limit of Philadelphia's boun
dary, with no one to depend on but
his hardworking poor old mother,
who tolled night and day to feed the
mouths of John and two younger
baby brothers, Sam and Will, his
first pennies and later paltry wage
was earned in the old Point Breele
brick yard where he waB "off bearer"
carrying thenewly hand made clay
brick on broad flat boards to the
"settlers'" In the drying sheds and
afterward from there to the kilns.
Hard, hard, back-breaking toll for a
slight, overgrowing half-fed boy.
But In these days of political ac
tivity of party lines and factional
differences, where lines are drawn
tightly toward personal bitterness.
recriminations and extreme Jealousy
the dispatch in the press announcing
his serious illness brought strongly
into the lime light of memory the
now long since forgotten tragic bat
tle between "old mat Quay", Master
of the republican machine of Penn
sylvania," and the "merchant Prince"
and millionaire.
John Wanamaker had filled the of
fice in the cabinet of postmaster gen
eral and after that he cherished a
seemingly arednt desire to become
senior senator for Pennsylvania In
the national congress. "Mat" Quay,
then at the head of one of the strong
est, best disciplined organizations
even known either In his native Btate,
Pennsylvania, or the United States,
assured Wanamaker that he would
guarantee his election providing he
signed a compact to look after the
states 1 workers and ward, captains
when patronage plums were shook
down.
Wanamaker refused, point blank,
to enter Into such a compact with
the master of the machine and indig
nantly asserted that he would have
no more to do with Matthew Stanley
Quay or his workers and that he
would run lndeendently.
He tried It and failed most dis
mally hidden under a verltnble snort
storm, a political avalanche.
He discovered to his everlasting
mortification that the very men up
on whom he placed most confidence
and Into whose open hands he had
placed great sums of money were
really lieutenants under "Mat"
Quay's orders.
Jeers, sneers, all sortB of distort
ed stories followed the money-maker,
Wanamaker, until with the sting of
defeat, and the tang of tattling
tongues ringing In his ears he turn
ed on Quny, who was then U. S. sen
ator from his district In the central
portion of Pennsylvania where he
had his Btronghjild. and tried by
every way open to Impeach him for
alleged shady transactions in con
gress.
The congressional Investigation
failed to find anything to support
Wanamaker's charges and he retlr
ed again fearfully beaten.
Quay was always a steadfast friend
to those who faithfully served him,
but the bitterest foe to those who
attacked him or his methods.
Mrs. Quay returned to her home
in Pennsylvania smarting tinder the
nasty charges against her hus'
brought by Wanamaker and reported
to "Mat" that she had been "cut" by
Mrs. Wanamaker and her set In
Washington. Old "Mat" Quay's fight
Ing blood boiled and he at once start
ed In to make Wanamaker smart.
He notified the state treasurer of
Pennsylvania to call In all the school
and Mate funds deposited In the Key
stone, the Spring Garden and Repub
lic banks an the Ouarantee Trust and
tentiary of Pennsylvania."
In all of these banks John Wana
maker hnd an Indirect Interest, funds,
friends as officials, or was on the
board of directors. But it has al
ways been admitted that he knew
nothing of the fact, proven at the
trials, that the funds on deposit in
these institutions had, In a large
measure, been put out on specula
tion. When the call came for the
state and school funds, which he
been deposited on call, they could
not be obtained.
Wanamaker made a trip to Europe
after the trinls were over and the
f par fill excitement had subsided but
it was rumored at the time that it
cost him a princely sum to bolster up
the tottering money houses and heal
and plaster up the sores of those
who had suffered.
He went to Europe a wreck In
health and Dame Rumor said before j
sailing and before there was a let
up or cessation, of old political war
horse Quay's tearing up the order of
things In the Quaker City that John
Wanamaker went to Quay's home In
the upper part of the state and not
only made a verbal retraction of his
charges and an humble heart broken
apology to Quay, but signed a paper
containing these retractions and
apologies wlhch since Quay's death
has been placed in the safe keeping
of a llfe-long-frlend with orders to
publish It broadcast in the press of
the country in event of the slightest
reappearance of any of the old
charges. '. This is one of the unwrit
ten stories of the press known to the
staffs of the Phlaldelphla papers at
the time when the battle raged Its
hottest.
There is little doubt that In this
time of political differences when the
progressives" have tried to break
the "good old machine there is a les
son for them.

properly as ours is, it is worthy of such
a name. There ate no false curves or
