Rouss's View.

Charles Broadway Rouss, the great
New York merchant, in recent inter-
view, makes the following assertions
Industry, integrity, economy and
promptness are cardinal requisites to
certain and honorable success.
Merit is the trademark Of success ;
quality the true test of ~alue.
Not in time, place or circumstances,
but in in man lies success; and the
larger the field, the greater the results.
Credit and partnership are the
scomge Of commercial history, and the
ban ofcommercial experience.
Beware Of the gifts of the Greeks;
they allure that they may destroy;
credit is tempting but ruin follows in
its path.
Burn the ledger aud learn to say No;
this is the best for both buyer and
seller.
Learn when to buy, how to buy,
and where to buy.
Buy for cash and sell for cash.
Ifyou buy bargains, sell bargains.
Quick sales and small profits make
more sales and greater results.
Large profits and few sales mean, in
time, no sales and no profits.
Bargain purchases without bargain
sales is an ambition which overleaps
itself, and is as unwise as it Is unprof-
liable.
Long credits with large profits
tempt both buyer and seller, but they
awaken the siren song which is ever
chanting the funeral dirges Of disaP-
pointed victims, both buyer and seller
being chief mourners.

A New Dewey Story.

One OF the brave jackies who twas
with Dewey at the battle of Manila
bay tells this new anecdote of the
great admiral. The teller is Harry
Deghman, a sailor on the cruiser Bos-
ton, and his story is this:
The most affecting incident which
occurred, and which all the sailors will
remember through their lives, was the
action OF powder boy. These boys
act as aids to captains aud heutenants
in carrying messages and doing er-
rand,. When the order was given to
strip for action one Of the boys tore
his coat off hurriedly, and it fell from
his hands and went over the rail, down
into the bay. \ few moments before
he had been gazing at his mothers
photograph, and just before he took his
coat off he had kissed the picture and
put itin his inside pocket. When the
coat fell overheard he turned to the
captain and asked permission to Jump
ever and get it, Naturally the request
was refused. The boy then went to
the other side Of the ship and climbed
down the ladder. He swan around to
the place where the coat had dropped,
and succeeded In getting il. ! believe
1t was stl. floating when he got there,
When he came back he was ordered in
chains for disobelleuce After the
battle be was uiei by court.martial
| for disobed!cuce and found guilty.
Commodore Dewey became interested
in the case, for be could not under.
stand why the boy had risksi his life
and isobeyed orders for coat. The
| lad never told what his motives were.
But when the commodore talked to
him in a kindly way, and asked him
why he had done such strange things
fQy an old coat, he broke into tears aud
told the commodore that his mothers
picture was in the coat. Commodore
Dewey eyes filled with tears as he
listened to the story. Then he picked
up the boy in his arms and embraced
him. He ordered the little fellow to
be instantly released and pardoned.
Boys who love their mothers enough
to risk their lives for their pictures
cannot be kept in irons on this feet,
he said.
Just before the action the boys all
exchanged keepsakes and intrusted
numerous packages to each other to
their homes in case they were killed in
action. One Of the misfortunes on the
Boston was the great scarcity Of tobac-
co the morning ofthe battle. Almost
all of the sailors were out Of the weed.
But one man had over a pound, and
he divided it in equal lots among his
companions, keeping only the regular
share for himself "

COLORADO SNOWSLJDES.
One Man Killed and Concentration De-
stroyed Near Telluride.

Telluride, Colo, Feb. ia tremen-
dous snowslide came down the side of
Yellow mountain about one-quarter of
a mile below the town of Ophir this
afternoon and killed one man and prac-
tically destroyed the Caribou concen-
trating plant. The slide was plainly
visible from the town of Ophir and
those who saw it say it was the largest
they ever witnessed, it apparently be-
ing about 100 feet deep and more than
a quarter of a mile wide.
The Caribou mill was crushed like an
egg shell. j. c. Vardel, the mill fore
man, was the only person killed. A
force of men has been digging for Var
ders body, but had not recovered it this
evening.
Mighty slides have been running all
day on the mountains around Ophir
and the miners are becoming much
frightened. On two or three proper
ties they have refused to work and
came to town, some of them coming to
Telluride.
The sun has been shining brightly to-
day, softening the snow and causing
the slides to run.

FRICTION AT SAN JUAN.
Mayor and Municipal Council Tender
Their designations.

San Juan de Porto Rico, Feb. 19.-
The mayor and majority of the NUM-
cipal council Of san Juan have tend
cred their designations.
4 few days ago the question Of
killing cattle for municipal consump-
ton was referred to General Guy V.
Henry, governor general of Porto Rico.
After an investigation. General Henry
issued an order regarding the matter
and the mayor and members of the
council declared that they would resign
before complying with the governors
decree. General Henry, thereupon,
told them if they did not stop trifling
and obey orders, he would have them
imprisoned. A meeting of the council
was held today and resulted, in the
mayor and council rendering their
designations, on account of the alleged
insult by the governor general and his
partisan friends. The deposed Liberals
are said to be back of the trouble.
General Henry says he can govern
the city better with new councilmen
who viii not oppose American methods
Considerable feeling has been excited
by the incident.
