ay and lengthy investigation are avoided by him when he can be certain that something immediate is required. And the extent of his quiet charity is amazing. With no family for which to save money, and with no care to put away money for himself, he thinks only of money as an instrument for helpfulness. I never heard a friend criticize him except for too great open-handedness. I was strongly impressed, after coming to know him, that he possessed many of the qualities that made for the success of the old-time district leaders of New York City, and I mentioned this to him, and he at once responded that he had himself met “Big Tim,” the long-time leader of the Sullivans, and had had him at his house, Big Tim having gone to Philadelphia to aid some henchman in trouble, and having promptly sought the aid of Dr. Conwell. And it was characteristic of Conwell that he saw, what so many never saw, the most striking characteristic of that Tammany leader. For, “Big Tim Sullivan was so kind-hearted!” KNOWS HELP IS NEEDED DELAY AND LENGTHY INVESTIGATION ARE AVOIDED BY HIM WHEN HE CAN BE CERTAIN THAT SOMETHING IMMEDIATE IS REQUIRED AND THE EXTENT OF HIS QUIET CHARITY IS AMAZING WITH NO FAMILY FOR WHICH TO SAVE MONEY AND NO CARE TO PUT AWAY MONEY FOR HIMSELF HE THINKS ONLY OF MONEY AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR HELPFULNESS I NEVER HEARD A FRIEND CRITICISE HIM EXCEPT FOR TOO GREAT OPEN HANDEDNESS I WAS STRONGLY IMPRESSED AFTER COMING TO KNOW HIM THAT HE POSSESSED MANY OF THE QUALITIES THAT MADE FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE OLD TIME DISTRICT LEADERS OF NEW YORK CITY AND I MENTIONED THIS TO HIM AND AT ONCE HE RESPONDED THAT HE HAD HIMSELF MET BIG TIM THE LONG TIME LEADER OF THE SULLIVANS AND HAD TOLD HIM AT HIS HOUSE BIG TIM HAVING GONE TO PHILADELPHIA TO AID SOME HENCHMEN IN TROUBLE AND HAVING PROMPTLY SOUGHT THE AID OF DOCTOR CONWELL AND IT WAS CHARACTERISTIC OF CONWELL THAT HE SAW WHAT SO MANY NEVER SAW THE MOST STRIKING CHARACTERISTIC FOR THAT TAMMANY LEADER FOR BIG TIM SULLIVAN WAS SO KIND HEARTED
