Mr.. Charles EroadwaynRenss, by whom
the idea of such a buisiins was conceived.
is wealthy merchant of. New York. His
career has been most interesting. He was
born in 1896, and spent his boyhood near
Winchester. in the valley of Virginia. At
the age of fifteen he left school and began
the battle of life in the nercantine line, on
one dollar week. When eighteen years
old he had, by strict economy, accumulat-
ed $500, with which he embarked in bus
mess for himself. The beginning of the
confederate army as private in the
twelfth cavalry, and in the ranks served
with gallantry to the end. The close of
the war found him, like thousands of his
comrades, without a penny. Returning to
his old home, he laid aside the sword for
the plowshare. and toiled through sum-
mer's heat and winters cold without a
word of complaint. His ambition and rest
less energy led him to seek more lucrative
fields Severing home ties, he boldly struck
out for New York where he landed with
a scant supply of clothing. weary and
friendless, and without penny. He made
the dreary rounds seeking for something
to do, often hungry and disappointed.
Finally, by perseverance, he wedged HIM
self into place, and later ,on, securing d
part of an old shop on a side street, he
legan business. again for himself in an
humble way, but broke from the customary
credit business to spot-cash system, re-
gardless OF temporary reverses. Steadily
phenomenal. He has become known as
philanthropist as Well as a most successful
business man. He is now many times a
millionaire. He is opeE-hearted and plain
in manner. is modest in his taste and
habits, and is ambitious to accumulate
wealth only that he may extend his phil
anthropic work. Churches. school houses,
monuments and charitable organizations in
many sections attest his liberality. The
iron fence around the cemetery at Winches-
ter. its system of water works engine
house and other public improvements are
testimonials Of his affection for the home
OF his youth.
II give said he not long since to a
friend, because those who ask me are

Latterly his eyesight has been affected,
and he is now almost totally blind, yet his
spirits are unbroken. 1t is dream Of his

THE WORLD AT LARGE,
Summary Of the Daily News
WASHINGTON NOTES.

THE weather bureau at Washington
issued a special bulletin on the 4th re-
garding the intense hot weather which
has prevailed in certain sections of the
country, the temperature reported being
in a mum Der of instances higher than
any previously recorded by the wealth
er bureau at this season of the year.
FRANK c. ARMSTRONG, who was in
Washington on the 18th and who is a
mem Der of the Dawes Indian commits
sion, stated that the prospects for a
reorganization of the government OF
the Indians, through division of their
lands in severalty and other measures,
was never more favorable than now
and expressed the belief that at the
coming session of the tribal council
some definite step will be taken.
SECRETARY HERBERT. of the navy de
partmcnt, has engage ed his passage to
Europe. While abroad he will make
an investigation into the cost of manu-
featuring armor plate for warships.
REPORTS of maximum tempera lures
received by the weather bureau at
Washington on the 5th showed that
the warm weather wave was very gen.
eral. The officials said that it was
very unusual for the temperature to
reach such a high point in so many
parts of the country at one time. The
heat was due to an area of high barom-
eter prevailing over the southern
portion of the country and low baron
eter in the northern part, which re-
suited in great waves of heat coming
toward the north
A WASHINGTON dispatch stated that
if the gold democrats at their conven-
ton in Indianapolis decided to place a
third ticket in the field and to nomi-
nate their own electors in the states,
the national democratic committee
will get out injunctions against the
use of the old party's name. The ma
tional committee says that there will
be no question about the injunctions
being granted, the regularity of the
Chicago convention not being called
into dispute.
The death roll from the heat on the
9th reported to Washington exceeded
125 in the principal places. Following
is a partial list of reported fatalities:
New York and vicinity, so; Philadel-
phia. IS; Washing ton, 16: Baltimore, 10;
Newark, 3; Albany, n. Y. 2; Chicago,
10; Cleveland, 2; Cincinnati, 5.
