THE SCOTCHMAN.
Why Does He Succeed Where Some
times Others Fail?

Mcr - KEN.
Why does the Scotchman succeed every
where! Why in Australia, New Zealand
and all the other British Colonies, do you
find him landowner, director of companies,
at tn head OF enterprises of all kinds9
Again, why do you find in almost ell the
factories of Great Britain that the foreman
is Scotch' All it is very simple. Success
is very rarely due to extraordinary circunl-
stances or to chance, as the social failures
are fond of saying. The Scot is economical,
frugal, matter-Of-facU, exact thoroughly to
be depended upon, perseYering and hard
working. He is an early riser. When he
earns but half crown day, he puts by
slxpence or a shilling; he minds his own
business and does not NEEDLE with other
peoples. Add to these qualities a body
healthy, bony, robust and rendered i-pervi-
GUS to fatigue by the practice Of every
healthful exercise-and YOU viii understand
why the Scotch succeed everywhere. His
religion teaches him to trust in God and to
rely upon his own resOurces-an eminently
practical religion, whose device is Help
yourself and heaven will help you" If a

INVESTIGATING TRUSTS.
Something About the Great Sugar
Combine"

OOn6JIluR ABOUT Un6 ST0dU sugar
Combine"
NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-The Senatorial
Committee to investigate trusts" to-day
continued their inquest into the sugar trust.
One of the witnesses was George II. Moller.
He said he had been a member of the North
River Sugar. Refining Company prior to the
sale of that company on Dec. l, to
John L. Searles. The stock of
company was valued at $3.50. 900
and he had received payment for his inter
est in money. The refinery had been shut
down since the time of its SALE Previously to
its sale he had been invited many times to
become a member of the combine but
declined to do so because he did not think
his stock was rated high enough as COM
pared with that of other companies in the
combine" So rather than come in at the
amount they were rated, which was $780,
coo, his firm sold out completely to joan Z.
Searles for $325, 0000, which was $25, O0J
below its par value. Havemeyer & Elder
were entered in the combine at between
$4,000 600 and Sl7,0U0,00O, Decastro &
Donne", at a little over 5000, 900; Madison
81 Meeker, of Jersey City, at s., 500, 900; Ok
ford at $3.50, 600 and the Standard and BAY
State retineries, of Bo ton, a 81, $40, 900 and
81, 800, 600, respectively.
Col. Bliss asked the witness upon what
valuation of the capital stock was he to re-
celVe 500, 900 for his company's transfer
He said on a basis OF $50, 10000 but the
combine, seeing that they could not in
duce every refinery in the co Intry to join
them, reduced the capital stock to $40 600, =
600, and his allowance was reduced propor-
tionately.
