             WILLIAM TOOTHE
   William Toothe, a financier of this city and
former journalist, died yesterday at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, in his seventy-third year. He had
been ill with heart trouble for about five weeks.
   Mr. Toothe was born in England in 1831, and 
after a limited public school education was placed
with his father in the metal and electro plate trade.
He left it after a year or two and entered the 
offices of James Denham Barney, and American merchant.
   On becoming of age, he came to Brooklyn and took
a clerkship for about a year. He then went to Chicago
and entered the real estate business. In 1855 he did
his first public writing, and attracted some attention
by his exposition of the government frauds in Iowa.
Soon afterward he entered the newspaper business. He
filled many important positions on "The Chicago 
Times."
   When that paper was sold to Mr. McCormick, Mr.
Toothe came to New York and re-entered business
life by taking charge of the sale of railway  material
for Krupp. Since 1861 he had been identified with many
railroad projects. He was president of the Consolidated
Brake Shoe Company for many years and later vice-
president of the Nathan Manufacturing Company.
   He was a member of the Library Club, the Colonial
Club, Lawyers' Club, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New
York Botanical Garden, New York Zoological Society
and Juniata Club of Altoona, Penn.
   Those surviving him are his widow, one son, 
Edward S. Toothe, Western manager of the Nathan
Manufacturing Company, and two daughters, Mrs. 
Jennie W. Huges and Mrs. Walter D. Co. His home was
in Madison, N. J., but he spent his winters at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel.
