PREFACE.
WHO'S WHO IN PENNSYLVANIA is a work based on the principle of a London publication which gives sketches of the lives of people of prominence in Great Britain and to some extent in other countries. There are numerous men whose careers have a definite and important interest when considered as factors in the life of their special States, and whose reputation, while not national or world-wide, is such as to entitle them to consideration in such work.
Recognizing the fact that this commonwealth information, if we may so designate it, is not to be found complete within any one volume, and that those who seek for it often find it impossible to secure, the publishers of this work have here endeavored to supply it for the State of Pennsylvania. They are not tyros in this work. Their well known companion volume, WHO'S WHO IN NEW YORK, has been widely and warmly welcomed in the Empire State. In the present volume they have endeavored to supply the people of Pennsylvania with similar information concerning its notable and eminent men, its jurists, lawyers, legislators, physi- cians, authors, financiers, merchants, inventors, and in short all who are taking part in the development, public and industrial, of the second State in wealth and population of the American Union.
WHO'S WHO IN PENNSYLVANIA they claim to be authentic and reliable. It deals with facts hitherto scattered and difficult of ac- cess, and frequently not to be found anywhere in published form. And when found it is often not to be trusted. To assure correctness the publishers have made strenuous endeavors to obtain their facts at first hand, gathering them from the persons concerned. Where this has not been possible they have made use of such trustworthy sources as Smull's Handbook and Congressional Rec- ord. "Records of Living Officers United States Navy." and they take pleasure in acknowledging their obligation to Wilbur J. Carr, of the State Department, whose information has been gath-
ered in the same direct way. They, therefore, take pride in feel- ing that they are offering the public a work which is immediate in its sources of information, exhaustive in its design, creditably full in its performance, and whose facts are given in some satisfy- ing detail, and not with the vexatious condensation necessary in works which deal with a whole country.
It has not been the purpose of the publishers to include every man or woman of some small local notoriety, their object being to give only men known widely in the State as leaders in their respective professions or lives of activity. In doing this it has been necessary to trust to personal decision in selecting, and vari- ous names may have been omitted which many readers may deem worthy of admission. Not holding their own judgment superior to that of others, and solicitous only to confine their selections to the names of persons who deserve a place in the book, they in- vite the freest suggestion and criticism from their readers, with the purpose of bringing future editions still more nearly up to the standard they desire to establish. They feel confident, however, that the possible sins of omission in this work are not many or flagrant, and that as it stands it will be found an invaluable ad- dition to the history of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

was the grandfather of the subject of this sketch. Mr. Addicks obtained his
education in the Philadelphia public schools, graduating from the Central High School at fifteen years of age. His business career began in a wholesale dry goods store, where he remained till nineteen years old, when he entered the flour store of Levi Knowles. After be- coming of age he was made a partner in this establishment, and proved very suc- cessful in developing the business. Three years later he embarked in a flour busi- ness of his own, and pushed it with such energy that in time he became the foremost dealer in his line of trade in Philadelphia. In 1864 he married Laura Wattson Butcher, daughter of Washing- ton and Mary E. Butcher of Philadel- phia. Mr. Addicks soon began investing his profits in Philadelphia real estate, and became prominent in this field of operations. He removed his residence in 1577 to Clayton, Del., a suburban settle- ment of Philadelphia. Shortly afterward he became interested in the development of water gas as an illuminant, then an infant industry, but a promising one. Mr. Addicks took hold of this with all his native energy, and became closely identified with its great development, his name becoming known in connection with it throughout the United States. He built works for the manufacture of water gas in Jersey City and also for the Consumers' Gas Company of Chica- so, the latter being the pioneer of the Chicago Gas Trust. In 1884 he origin- ated the Bay State Gas Company of Bos- ton, and was the first to build water cas works in that city. He purchased in 1992 a controlling interest in the Brook- lyn Gas Company and was elected its President, and became largely interested In other gas companies of Brooklyn. He also built a gas works in Wilmington, Del., for the Oxyhydrogen Company. He is, however, better known for the promi- nonce he has held of late years in poli- 'ties. An earnest Republican, he quickly took a strong interest in the political affairs of his adopted State, and as early as 1599 developed an ambition to repre- sent Delaware in the United States Sen- ate. In 1\99 he received the largest vote for Senator in the Legislature, but failed of election, the "Union Republicans." the Cetion under his control, being bitterly gasol by the "Regular Republicans." 1. 1901 he was again a candidate, and with in 1903. but was both times de-
feated by the vigorous opposition, though controlling enough votes to prevent the election of any competitor. As a conse- quence of this . long continued contest, Delaware for several years was repre- sented by only one Senator, and for a period was without a Senator, Senator Kenney's term expiring March 4, 1901. The dead lock was broken in 1903 by the election of Lewis H. Ball for the short term, and James F. Allse, the candidate of the Addicks faction, for a long term, ending March 4, 1907.
