ARMY MULES TOOK A TURN.
Made Things Lively for n Few Min

Made Things Lively for n Few Min
utes on state Street.
An army mule is not ordinarily a frisky
sort of beast A double team hauling a
heavy wagon along State street yesterday
took a turn, though, that fairly startled
the soldiers of Mai. Harrison's guard. The
animals made up their minds and started
together and went tearing down the street
at a pace altogether out of keeping with
the dignity of the average army mule.
The driver had been left entirely out of
the matter; at least, he was not with the
team.
The heavy, broad-tired wagon ratified
and banged and bumped over the crossings
in a way that suggested to people on foot
the ACCESSIBILITY of getting out of the way.
Aa the team passed the provost headquar-
ters in Armory Hall, Private j. j. Nor
ton of Company NJ of the permanent de-
tail seized the ill-behaved mules and at
ternpted to stop them. The runaways
didn't invite any interference, but Pri-
vate Norton held on and touched the
ground occasionally, as the mules swung
him right and left. Lieut.. Col McWill-
Jams was further down the street, and
took a hand, and finally the mules were
nuIled down, the brake on the wagon was
set and the driver arrived. 1t was dis
eusted and detected pair of mules, and an
equally crestfallen driver, that headed the
PROCESSION out to the corral.

TO FURNISH HEAT AND LIGHT.
Continued from Eighth Page.
Formerly expregged is partIeularly sIgnla.

formerly expressed is particularly sgnifi-
cant at this time
There will probably be warm competi-
ton in the electric lighting business in Sa-
vannah when the Edison company gets in
readiness to turn on the light. The Brush
company has had the field all along, but
has gotten along with the public, not hav-
ing made any effort to gouge patrons. It
furnishes the city's lights, and when the
matter of establishing plant for this pur-
pose was contemplated some time ago, the
company made a reduction, so that the
price now paid is S72 light. The contract
the company has had with the city will
not expire for three years. It is probable
the Edison company will be on its feet long
before that time, however, when there may
be bidding that will cause the city to get
its lights even at lower figures than at
present
Taking the usual course, the petition will
probably be referred tonight to the COM
mittee on streets and lanes. After ii is
considered, a report in The usual form will
be made to Council, and an ordinance prob
ably passed giving the company the rights
asked with such restrictions as may be
considered wise.

KEYS TO SUCCESS.
Edward BoI1s Lecture Opening the
Star Course Entertainments.

The Y. NJ. c. A. Star Course of enter
tainments was opened at the Guards Hail
last night. Mr.. Edward Box, editor of
the Ladies' Home Journal, delivered his
lecture, Keys to Success"
The hall was filed with a representative
audience, which showed its appreciation
of the speaker by paying the closest at
tention throughout the lecture.
Mr.. Box, who was introduced by Judge
Falligant, is a pleasing speaker. having
graceful manner, clear diction, and a
personal magnetism that enforces atten-
ton.
Success, he said, lies in doing what Is
attempted, no matter what the object be.
The idea that success means a great rep
utation is a mistake. Reputation even
when merited, can be won only by those
whoNhave the necessary qualifications 10
DO so-leaderS of men, and not all of us
are born to this exalted sphere. First fix
success in the right place and then work
Tor It, Chauncey Depew once said that
TO be successful one must dig, dig. dig.
and Edison, when asked IL he did not
think genius was inspiration, replied that
ne did-about per cent. inspiration and
Us per cent. perspiration.
Hard work. said Mr.. Box, is the only
thing that leads 10 success. The reason
that 50 many young men fail to achieve
anything In life Is because too many of
them want white-shirt jobs
Mr.. Box addressed some wholesome adj
vice to parents regarding the choice Of
professions for their sons Don't trv to
drive square pegs into round holes. he
said' there is to-day many a bad lawyer
who would have made an excellent doc
tor. Know one thing we'll is his advice to
men, TINS is the age OF specialties, and no
one can hope to know everything.
In speaking of the use of alcoholic H.
quors, Mr.. Box said 1t is a question not
TO be decided by arguing is 1t right or is IL
wrong, but by Is II wise In his opinion
IL Is not. Success In anything, he said,
IS not chance, but hard work and self
sacrifice Don't be discouraged by meteor
IKE careers, for to go up like a rocket is
to come down like the stick.
That honesty Is the best policy from a
business, as well as a moral standpoint.
is proved, he said. by the custom OF the
Chinese, who, after thousands Of years
OF business experience, have evolved a law
10 force every debtor on New Years day
to either pay his bills or make satisfac-
tory arrangements with his creditor con-
corning them. Failure 10 do this caused
the delinquent 70 loose caste
Mr.. Box discussed marriage for which.
he said. the only excuse is love Not in
terest, sympathy, nor admiration, but
simply love. In summing up, he said that
the keys of success are: In business, thor
oughness; in religion, belef;sstemperance
in all things, and fixed determination TO
succeed
