Member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives from Philadelphia, for the second time Speaker of the House of Representatives; born in Stroudsburg. Monroe County, Pa., Oct. 2. 1858, and rep- resents the Twenty-third District of Phil- adelphia. When but a year old his pa- rents removed to that city, in the pub- lic schools of which and under private tutors he received his early education, followed by his entrance into the law of- fice of Hon. Wayne MacVeagh and George Tucker Bispham. Shortly after- ward he was appointed Assistant Libra- brarian of the law library by Mr. Bis- pham. In 1876 he was registered as a law student in the latter's office and in the meantime was a member and officer of the Law Academy. He was admitted to practice at the bar of Philadelphia County, Oct. 4, 1879, two days after he had attained his majority, and immedi- ately entered the law office of Francis Rawle. Charles F. Warwick. City Solicit - or of Philadelphia, appointed Mr. Walton as one of his assistants in April. 1ss1. and retained his services until he was elected to the House of Representatives in 1890, in recognition of the work he did in the ranks of the Republican Party, to which he has always been ardently at- tached. In 1892 his constituents in the Twenty-third Distriet, which Mr. Walton had represented, re-elected him and in 1.594 again honored him with re-election.

Warren, who was elected. In 1893 he was appointed Chairman of the Committee on Judiciary General and served on other committees which had important work to perform. Mr. Walton was one of the prominent members of the House and in 1895 was elected Speaker of that body without Republican opposition. In 1898 he was appointed Solicitor to the Sheriff of Philadelphia County, which position he resigned because of his election for the fourth time to the Legislature. The abil- ity with which he presided over the House in 1895 suggested him as a candi- date for his old place in 1903, and when the Republican caucus met all the candi- dates for the office had withdrawn, and Mr. Walton was the second time com- plimented with a unanimous nomination by his party. At this session he made a great record for physical endurance, the dispatch of business and the maintenance of order. He was punctual in his at- tendance and never left the chair when legislation of importance was under con- sideration. It is no flattery to him to de- clare that no presiding officer of the House ever displayed more signal ability in the responsible position. Mr. Walton is a member of the Union League of Philadelphia, and a member and ex-Pres- ident of the Five o'Clock Club. He is a member of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, the Penn Club and a score of other prominent societies, and organi- zations. As a campaigner he has shown great effectiveness.

WANAMAKER, John:


Merchant; born in Philadelphia, July 11, 1838. He was descended on his fath- er's side from the Palatines who left Germany during the religious persecution of 1730-1740, and on his mother's site from the Huguenots who left France for the same reason. His father was a brickmaker, and the boy during his school life had his share of work to do in the brick yard; he left school at fourteen years of age and became an errand boy in a book store at $1.50 per week; then his ability as a salesman soon augmented his salary to $4.00 per week, and he took advantage of the opportunities of im- proving his education offered by the Young Men's Christian Association; his activity in this association brought him the position of paid secretary in 1857, but he resigned in 1861 to found a


clothing business with his brother-in-law, Nathan Brown, at Sixth and Market Streets, which is still the elothing firm of Wanamaker & Brown; they began in a very modest way, but the busi- ness prospered, the ill health of Mr. Brown throwing the burden of the labor on Mr. Wanamaker. In 1868, when Mr. Brown died, the business was firmly es- tablished, and the house widely known from its liberal method of advertising; in 1869 a new establishment was opened in Chestnut street, under the title of John Wanamaker & Co., his brother Samuel being in charge; by 1871, Oak Hall as the Market street store was called, had spread over a space formerly occupied by forty-five tenants, and in 1875 Mr.

WHO'S WHO IN PENNSYLVANIA.


Wanamaker purchased the old Pennsyl- vania Railroad freight depot at Thir- teenth and Market streets, where he opened a clothing, hat and shoe store in 1876, and in 1877 extended it into a gen- eral dry goods store, embracing almost all classes of retail goods; the great success of the new establishment was due to the "new kind of a store" upon a system never known before which its proprie- tor began, which brought him fortune in the end. His powers as a business organizer were extraordinary, and the Grand Depot in time grew to be a vast and stirring mart of trade, all un- der his close supervision. In the conduct of his business he introduced the profit- sharing system, and is said in the years ISSS-1889 to have distributed more than $100.000 among his employees. The Phil- adelphia store was followed, some years after its establishment, by a similar one in the A. T. Stewart building in New York, which has become equally pros- perous. In 1904 he began to rebuild his Philadelphia store on a large scale, re- placing the old building with one twelve stories high and covering a city square. He has shown himself very active in other directions; he lent important aid to the war-time Sanitary Fair in Logan square, was one of the organizers of the Chris- tian Commission, and took part in various charitable movements; he served efficient- ly on the Finance Committee of the Centennial Exposition of 1876, lent his aid to the William Penn anniversary cel- ebration of 1SS2. and was prominent in the movement for a pure water supply in 1896-1857. A member of the Presby- terian Church, his talent for organization showed itself strikingly in the Bethany Sunday School, of which he took charge in 185S with, twenty-seven scholars, but which rapidly outgrew its accommoda- tions, and in time became one of the largest in the country, with over 2,600 students; he aided the Young Men's Christian Association in erecting its new building and became its President, and is connected with the Williamson Trade School and other associations. He de- clined to become a candidate for Mayor and representative on the Republican ticket when offered him, but he took an active part in the 1ss8 Presidential cam- paign, and accepted the position of Post- master General in President Harrison's Cabinet: this he filled very efficiently during the four years of the Administra- tion; 18 9-1533, handling its affairs with


his great business acumen, and introduc- ing important improvements and econo- mies in the service. At a later date he became very active in independent Re- publican politics, vigorously combating M. S. Quay in the contest for the United States Senatorship and making many trenchant and effective speeches. On the whole, he has made himself a power in the business world and has played an im- portant part in administrative and politi- cal affairs.

Attorney-at-law; born near Kutztown, Berks County, Pa., Dec. 1, 1840; in boy- hood he worked on his father's farm, and had scanty school opportunities, yet made such use of them that he was able to serve as teacher in 1556, 1857 and 1858.

In 1860 he became a student and teacher in Fairview Seminary at Kutztown, entered Franklin and Mar- shall College at Lancaster in 1862, grad- uating in 1665. He was admitted to the bar at Lancaster two months after grad- uating; in other words, he crowded a col- lege and legal course into three years, and began to practice law at Reading, Pa., during the latter part of 1865. and soon acquired a lucrative business. He became prominent in the Democratic Party, by whom he was elected District Attorney for Berks County in 1571; he became County Solicitor after his term had ex- pired; was a candidate for Congress in 1818 against Hon. Hiester Clymer and came within a few hundred votes of de- feating him at the primaries. In 1879 he became interested in the Mellert Foundry and Machine Company. also in the Read- ing Foundry Company in 1885, and made a great deal of money in connection with these concerns. In 1893 the concerns be- came heavy losers, involving Mr. Wanner to a very large extent financially, so that he was compelled to go back again to the bar in 1902, in which he has since made the best possible efforts to obtain again a portion of his former practice. He has also been largely interested in the construction and maintenance of water- works of late years, having been the Presi- dent off and on of quite a number of them. He was also a candidato again for District Attorney during the spring of this year (1904), but was defeated after a vig- orous and interesting campaign. Address, Reading, Pa.
