WALLACE, WILLIAM COPELAND.-Born May 21, 1856 in
Brooklyn, N. Y., and was graduated from Wesleyan Uni-
versity in 1876, and Columbia College Law School in 1878,
since which time he has been engaged in the active prac-
tice of his profession. He was Assistant United States
District Attorney 1880 to 1883. He was elected to the
Fifty-first Congress as a Republican from the Third Dis-
trict, and was a candidate for re-election, but was defeat-
ed by W. L. Coombs, Democrat, by eighteen_votes. On
January 1, 1895, Mr. Wallace was appointed Judge Advo-
cate-General on the staff of Governor Morton, with the
rank of Brigadier-General.

WARING, GEORGE EDWIN, JR.-Born sixty-one years ago
at Poundridge, New York. He was educated at College
Hill, Poughkeepsie, and later studied agriculture with
the late James J. Mapes. In 1855 he took charge of
Horace Greeley's farm at Chappaqua, and in 1858 he was
given the direction of the agriculture and drainage of
Central Park. Notable among his achievements in this
position was his preparation of the soil for the Mall, and
the planting of the rows of elms that shade it. In 1861 he
went to the war as Major of the Garibaldi Guards, and
after three months' service was appointed Major of
Cavalry by General Fremont. In St. Louis he raised six
companies of cavalry, called the Fremont Hussars. This
cominand was merged into the Fourth Missouri Cavalry,
of which he was commissioned Colonel, and with which he
served till the close of the war. In 1867 Colonel Waring
went to Rhode Island as manager of the Ogden Farm,
where he remained ten years. Subsequently he began
general practice as a drainage engineer. After the yellow-
fever epidemic in Memphis in 1878, Colonel Waring de-
vised the system of sewerage for that city, and the
general features of this system have since been adopted
in many other cities. He was an expert and special
agent for the tenth census, with charge of the social
statistics of cities, and was the author of the articles
"History and Present Condition of New Orleans," and
the "Report on the City of Austin, Texas," in the tenth
census reports. Since 1882 he has been a member of the
National Board of Health. In his practice as a drainage
engineer Colonel Waring has been called in consultation
in many cities of the country, and he is generally regarded
by engineers with sewerage problems to solve as the
most competent and ingenious adviser in the country.
He has in this capacity originated many sanitary im-
provements in the drainage of houses and towns. In-
deed, a large part of Colonel Waring's life has been de-
voted to work in engineering, drainage, sewage, and the
disposal of the last. In this work he has been called
upon to organize and command large forces of men, and
his success in these undertakings makes it only reasonable
to expect that he will succeed in cleaning the streets of
New York and keeping them clean. To the progressive
farmers of the country Colonel Waring is known as an
enlightened writer on agricultural subjects; to engineers
he is known as a writer on drainage and sanitation; and
to the general reader he long ago commended himself by
the charming accounts he has given of his travels in this
country and in foreign lands. Colonel Waring is not a
politician, though the practical experts in politics would

probably set him down as a mugwump. He has written
many works. Among others may be mentioned, "Sewer-
age and Sewage, Disposal of, Providence, R. I.," Newport,
R. I.. 1885: Suggestions for the Sanitary Drainage of
Washington, D. C.," the Toner Lectures, and published
in the Smithsonian Miscellaneous Documents; "Village
Improvement and Farm Villages," Boston, 1877; "Con-
cerning Rudolph Hering's Project for the Sewerage of
Binghamton, Ñ. Y."; "The Elements of Agriculture,"
New York, 1890; Methods of Sewage Disposal for Towns,
Public Institutions and Isolated Houses," New York and
London, 1894; "Report on the Condition of the Sewers of
Memphis, Tenn.," March 4, 1893; "The Separate System
of Sewerage," Newport, R. I.. 1882; "Sewerage and
Land Drainage," New York and London, 1889; "The
Sewerage of Keene and Laconia, N. H.; Report to
State Board of Health of New Hampshire, etc., etc.

WEBB, WILLIAM HENRY.-Born June 19, 1816, in New
York City. Was educated at a private school and in the
Columbia College Grammar School when it was attached
to the old college in Murray street. He served for six
years as an apprentice with his father in New York
City at ship-building, and began business on his own
account at twenty-three years of age, retiring from a
shipyard thirty years thereafter, having built more ves-
sels than any other builder of that date-most of them
of the largest tonnage in this or any other country.
Subsequently be was engaged extensively in running
steamships and establishing new mail routes. He con-
structed vessels and steamships for the United States,
Mexican, Russian, Italian and French Governments,
and established opposition lines of steamers from New
York to different ports in Europe; from New York to
San Francisco via Nicaragua. He also established the
first American line from San Francisco to New Zealand
and Australia, via the Sandwich and Samoa Islands in
1870. He has never held any political office, but was
president for fourteen years of a body of tax-payers, en-
deavoring to secure the passage of good laws and defeat-
ing the passage of bad ones. Was tendered the nomina-
tion for Mayor of the City of New York by both the Re-
publican and Democratic parties, but declined. In 1876
the Order of Knighthood of St. Maurice and Lazarus one
of the oldest in Italy, was conferred on Mr. Webb by King
Victor Emanuel, he having constructed the two first iron-
clads ever built in this country for the Italian Govern-
ment. One of the many charitable enterprises of Mr.
Webb's is his Academy and Home for Shipbuilders, occu-
pying thirteen acres of land on Fordham Heights. This
Home affords free and gratuitous aid, relief and support
to the aged decrepit invalids, indigent or unfortunate
men who have been engaged in building hulls of ships or
vessels or marine engines together with the lawful wives
of such persons, also to educate any young man in the art
of shipbuilding, both theoretical and practical, together
with board, lodging and necessary implements and ma-
terials while obtaining it. Is a member of the Century,

a Republican in politics and was elected to the Assembly
from the Twenty-sixth District at the election held No-
vember 6, 1894, by 1,200 majority.

ARNOUX, WILLIAM HENRY -Born in New York City sixty
odd years ago. At fifteen years of age he was fitted for
entrance to the Junior Class of Princeton College, but his
father chose a mercantile life for him, and he entered a
cloth house in this city, in which he continued for four
years. A business life, however, not proving congenial,
at the age of nineteen he became a law student in the
office of Horace Holden, and after a four years' study was
admitted to the Bar, and in 1855 became a partner in the
law firm of Thayer & Arnoux. this parnership continuing
until 1858. For ten years thereafter he practiced his pro-
fession without a partner. For a year or two subsequently
he was a member of the firm of Wright, Merrihew & Ar-
noux, and in 1870 the firm of Arnoux, Ritch & Woodford

was organized. This lasted until Mr. Arnoux was called
to the Bench and his associate, Governor Woodford, to the
office of United States District Attorney for the Southern
District of New York. Subsequently they returned to the
old firm, and the business is now continued under the firm
name of Arnoux, Ritch & Woodford as before. In the fall
of 1882 Judge Arnoux was appointed by Governor Cor-
nell to fill the place on the Bench of the Superior Court
of New York made vacant by the resignation of Judge
Speir. During his term of judicial service he made an
enviable record, and many important cases containing
moot questions were finally settled during his term, and
are now undoubted precedents in the law, owing to his
profound study and thorough and scholarly research into
the questions involved. He is the author of an important
work entitled "The Dutch in America," printed privately
in 1890. It was an argument presented to the Court of
Appeals of New York in an elevated railroad case then
pending, in which the fundamental question involved was
whether the Dutch Rom in law prevailed in Manhattan
Island before 1664, under which law the railroad claimed
that the State absolutely owned the streets, and that

adjacent owners had no rights or easements therein.
This question depended upon the determination of the
historical question. Who under the law of nations discov-
ered and settled New York? Judge Arnoux says: "The
title of the City of New York was acquired by England by
original discovery; the grant to Cabot reverted to the
crown by his death; the grant to Raleigh escheated on
judgment in attainder; the grant to Virginia was can-
celed by quo warranto proceedings; the grant to New
England was voluntarily surrendered; the title of the
Dutch in 1673 was acquired by conquest in 1674, and the
grant to James passed to the crown on his accession to
the throne. There was one other possible transmission
which did not take place-England never bought it. Hers
by original right, hers it continued to be until 1673, and
her laws governed it (except for a few months in 1673 and
1674) until it was wrested from her by successful revolu-
tion in 1776, when the United States became a nation."
He also published in 1891 "An Alphabetical List of the
Translators of the Dies Ira" and "The Discovery and
Settlement of New York, Considered in its Legal Aspect."
He is a member of the Church Temperance Society, a life
member of the Young Men's Christian Association and
Excise Reform Association, a trustee of the New York
Board of Trade and Transportation, one of the founders
of the Union League Club, a member of the Bar Associa-
tion, and during 1889 and 1890 was president of the New
York State Bar Association. He was a principal figure in
the Pan-Republican Convention held during the late Co-
lumbian celebration. He is a member of the Republican,
Church and Patriarchs clubs, of the American Geograph-
ical and New England Societies, of the Metropolitan Mu-
seum of Art, the American Museum of Natural History,
of the Sons of the American Revolution, and is one of the
vice-presidents of the Society for the Prevention of
Crime.

returned to Ireland and established in Liverpool, Eng.,
the firm of Wm. R. Grace & Co. This business he con-

the firm name was changed January 1, 1895, to J. P. Mor-
gan & Co., both in New York and London, England. This
house was among the chief negotiators of railroad bonds
and was active in the reorganization of the West Shore
Railroad, and its absorption by the New York Central. In
1887 it was conspicuous in the reorganization of the Phila-
delphia & Reading Railroad, which a syndicate formed by
Mr. Morgan, placed on a sound basis. In 1895 the gold re-
serve in the United States Treasury having fallen below the
$100,000,000 limit, and, in consequence, the Government
being threatened with serious financial disturbances, Con-
gress having failed to enact legislation to secure and main-
tain an adequate gold reserve, Mr. Morgan and his associ-
ates supplied the Treasury with over sixty-four million
dollars in gold in exchange for bonds, thereby averting a
panic and restoring confidence and prosperity in the bus-
iness and financial world. He is a director of the New
York Central & Hudson River Railroad Co., and in many

PARKHURST CHARLES HENRY.-Born in Framingham,
Mass., April 17, 1842. Was graduated at Amherst Col-
lege in 1866; studied theology at Halle in 1869, and at
Leipsic in 1872 and 1873. He was principal of the High
school at Amherst in 1867, and a professor in Williston
Seminary, East Hampton, Mass., in 1870 to 1871. He was
pastor of the Congregational Church at Lenox, Mass.,
from 1874 to 1880, when he was called to the Madison
Square Presbyterian Church, New York City. Upon the
death of the Rev. Dr. Howard Crosby he was elected
president of the Society for the Prevention of Crime,
which is a chartered association authorized by the Leg-
islature to engage in the business of suppressing crime.
Early in 1890 Dr. Parkhurst delivered his memorable ad-
dress to the congregation of his church, in which he ar-
raigned the Tammany officials of New York City, and in
a moment stepped outside of the path of peace and qui-
etude and subjected himself to the malice of a powerful
political organization. To the Society for the Prevention
of Crime he declared, "The chief criminals of the c ty of
New York are those who are in political power, and the
servants of the public supported by public taxes are the
abettors and accessories of those crimes which are the
result of the disposition to immorality, to gambling and
to drink. We shall never suppress these crimes until we
suppress the influences which make it possible for them
to exist, and I propose, as president of the Society for the
Prevention of Crime, that we give battle aga ust these
men and the system which they have created."
In pur-
suance of this text Dr. Parkhurst, with orderly discipline,
skill, discretion and strategy, began the attack, and the
battle was continued relentlessly until the popular verdict,
as expressed at the polls on November 6, 1894, brought this
conflict to a triumphant conclusion. Dr. Parkhurst, who
was comparatively unknown to the public a few years
ago, and then only as a rather secluded pastor, has been
revealed as a man of extraordinary executive ability and
a strategist capable of coping with the cunning and sup-
ple enemy which confronted him. The story of the great
conflict is fully told in the work recently written by Dr.
Parkhurst, entitled "Our Fight with Tammany," and
published by Charles Scribner's Sons. It is written in the
author's characteristic uncompromising style, and pre-
sents a detailed account of the progressive steps which
resulted in the Lexow Investigation and the defeat of
Tammany Hall at the polls.
