GENERAL HARRISON'S PLANS.
HE WILL SAIL ON MAY IT TO ATTEND THE vDNEz-
UEIAN ARBITRATION COMMISSIONS SESSIONS.

HE WILL SAIL ON MAY II TO ATTEND THE vDNEz-
UEIAN ARBITRATION COMMISSIONS SESSIONS.
Ex-President Harrison, who has been at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel with his family for several days. will
sail on the ST. Paul on May II. General Harrison
who is counsel for Venezuela before the British
Venezuelan Arbitration Commission, said yesterday
that he was glad to hear that the meeting Of the
Commission In Paris had been postponed from May
"a to June Is. as II would give him more time in
which to get settled in Paris and to prepare for the
meetings He does not expect TO return home until
October
II don't know how long are likely to be en-
gaged IN the arbitration proceedings" he said IT
may take us six weeks or two months. We will
probably not meet more than two three times
week, and then for only three or four hours at a
time. I don't think there is any doubt of our meet
ing June 10. Mr.. Maertens on whose account
the meeting was postponed will, understand, be
able to leave the Cars Peace Conference, TO
which he is delegate from Russia, before the con-
ference closes So the fact that we are 10 meet
on June 10 Is no indication that the Peace Confer
ence will be ended by that time. l should think
that such q conference would occupy six or eight
weeks at least. There will be many long speeches
and reports to be heard. and these, with the dis
cusslon of the various suggestions from the dele
gates, will take up much time"

A New Set of Rules.

A set of rules for young men to fol- low are those laid down by man who built up an immense business, says the Chicago Journal, the qualifications of which extended all over the United States. They will bear perusal, and are as follows:
 Keep good company or none; never be idle
 If your hands cannot be usefully employed, attend to the cultivation of your mind.
 Always speak the truth; make few promises.
 Live up to your engagements; keep your own secrets, if you have any.
 When you speak to a person look him in the face.
 Good company and good conversa- ton are the very sinews of virtue.
 Good character is above all things else.
 Your character cannot be essentially injured except by your own acts.
 If any one speaks evil of you, let your life be so that none will believe him.
 Drink no kind of intoxicating liquors.
 Ever live ,misfortunes excepted within your income.
 When you retire to bed, think ovei what you have been doing during the day.
 Make no haste to be rich, if you would prosper. Small and steady gains give com potency. with tranquility of mind.
 Never play at any games of chance
 Avoid temptation, through fear yor may not withstand it. Earn money before you spend 1t. i Never run into debt unless you se' way to get out again.
 Never borrow, if you can possibly avoid it.
 Do not marry until you are able | support wife Never speak evil of any one. Be just before you are generous.
 Keep yourself innocent ifyou woul be happy.
 Save when you are young, to spen when you are old.

Mir. Douglas also made q statement concerning the change which is soon to take place in the To- cal management, saying that the com pany sincerely regretted the fact that Messrs.
