served the same grim purpose. The
names of the distinguished men who
have been imprisoned in Newgate
would fill a volume. Among them are
William Penn, founder of Pennsyl-
vania; Defoe, author of Robinson

Chief Justice of England.
Inside Newgate Prison many prison
ers have been tortured. In fact, as
late as 1923 torture was used, and un-
til 1868 the executions were public and
were made the occasion Of n holiday.
In 1907, when 10000 people had gath

executed, panic ensued, and 100 men.

to death. AS late as 17SS women
were burned to death in front Of New
gate prison for counterfeiting, and the
stocks and pillories were always full
of unfortunates. Dickens thundered
against the abomination of the public
executions at Newgate, and it is large
ly due to his great influence that the re-
form was accomplished in 1868.

Grass Grown in the shade.

From Pennsylvania city comes an
inquiry as to whether In order to grow
grass In the shade 1t is necessary to use
some particular seed, or whether the
only cure Is to cut some Of the sur
rounding trees and thus tighten the
shade. A park expert says that grass
can be grown in shady places, provided
good seed is used and the soil Is not
sour. To settle the last question 1t is
only necessary to take piece of blue
litmus paper, turn some Of the soil and,
after wetting it, place 1t on top Of the
paper for ten or fifteen minutes. If the
paper turns red the soil is sour. The
remedy for sour soil is from one to two
bushels Of lime per 1000 square feet,
according to the degree Of redness
shown on the paper by the test. To
preserve a growth of grass close to
large trees fertilization will be neces-
sary every year. A particular brand
of seeds Is also desirable, and on this
point the advice of a good scotsman
had better be taken-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

NEW HEAD OF THE CARNEGIE

A Poor Bookkeeper In 1870, He 10

ESxEasakSss s4z,naf,nav
As the head of the new Carnegie
Steel Company, the greatest Of all the
recently consolidated Industrial con-
Germs, Henry Clay Frick has become a
man OF worldwide interest. He is a
man Of uncommon mould. At 21 he
was poorly paid bookkeeper in dis
tillery, To-day, at 90, he is the owner
of the greatest coke-making plants In
the world, has a private fortune
amounting to $15.000,000 or more, and is
the active head Of enterprises involv-
ing the use of hundreds of millions Of
dollars in capital. A man who can
make this kind of record for himself
can be truthfully described as "un-
common" Mr. Frick Is the builder Of
his own fortune. He secured what he
has without the aid of family influence
or wealth-and it is the creation of his
own brain and industry:
Henry Clay Frltk vas Born In Fay
ette County, Ohio, in 1si9. His father
was farmer in moderate circum-
stances, who had lived In West Over
ton, Pa. With nothing but common
school education young Frick went to
work as a dry goods clerk, but soon
gave up that to become bookkeeper
In the distillery owned by his grand
father at Bradford, Pa.
This took young Frick into the very
heart Of the coke region. Although he
was only p years of age then, he had
developed the habit Of accommodating
money, and saved most Of his earnings.
He took great interest in the manu-
facture Of coke. studied the process,
and made up his mind that he would
some day go into the business. At this
time, too he was close student Of the
labor situation in the coal and coke
regions.
A short time after passing his ma
jority Frick and two other young men
scraped up enough money between
them to buy 300 acres of land and 90
coke ovens. They began to manufac-
ture coke under the firm name of Fricll
& Co. Frick succeeded so well in the
coke business that within four years
he increased his ovens from fifty to

90 ROM q hygienic standpoint, to be-
Ir1' come overheated is as great an err
- ror as for an infielder to mess a
ground hit. Equatorial climes with their
dazzling heat do not destroy their peoples.
Down close to the equator, where the sun
gets full tilt at the earth, sunstrokes are
comparatively rare. Up here, where a
temperature Of 100 degrees Fahrenheit is
rare sunstrokes or their twin Affections,
heat prostrations, are very common. Why
1t should be so is topic of interest. When
it is known that in neither case, the health
being good, should q person be in any
grave danger, the frequency of death in
summer from such causes Is marvel. 1t
all depends on the man. Some persons
will walk smoothly and placidly along the
street without an umbrella, with the sun
making ridges of heat across the avenue.
Collar and cuffs will not wilt and the man
seems unconscious that the weather Is
playing any unusual pranks. He may car
ry pounds too much weight, yet suffer but
little, if at all. Another man of thin figure
will pant and moan and mop his fevered
brow in an agony of heat. Why this is
thus is what correspondent would term
q mystery. But there is no mystery about
it. One knows he is not hot, the other
thinks he is. Keeping cool is not mat
ter of clothes or their lack. There are
men on earth who wear nothing but a
brow clothed in thought, whose sunburned
pelts indicate the advantage of garments,
even If the garden of Eden had not pre-.
maturely discovered the same thing
Some, positive directions apply to the
art of Keeping cool. The first is the most
important and if well observed robs the
weather of nine-tenths of its terrors. That
rule is simple one and is merely to give

Sunday Nap.
When an obstreperous peddler breaks
up a Sunday afternoon nap It is no
great wonder that the sleeper feels like
taking revenge! The London Telegraph
tells Of a miserly old bachelor who was
reused from sweet dreams on Sun
day afternoon by a laundering "rat-
tatw at the street door.
Being the only occupant Of the house,
the bachelor hurried down two flights
Of stairs as fast as the decrepitude Of
age would allow, and threw open the
dor, only to be assailed by the cry,
Mullins! Want any mullins, slr?'
For few moments the irascible old
gentleman stood staring at his inter-
rogator, dumb with rage; but ON the
question being repeated he found his
voice.
mo, confound your impudence!
don't want mullins, and just get off my
doorsteps before l kick you off! Dis
turbing respectable citizens on Sun.
day afternoon! Do you hear me? I
don't want any mullins"
The purveyor Of Sabbath luxuries, af-
ter a last futile attempt to do business,
walked sadly away, while the other
gazed after him, immersed in thought.
Suddenly, when the muffin man had
got some two or three hundred yards
down the hilly road, brilliant inspira-
ton struck the old gentleman, and
with a frantic "Hiv' and wave Of the
hand, he summoned the man to return.
Then, as the muffin man, perspiring,
but happy in the thought Of disposing
ingly stood before him, the old gentle
man, tapping him solemHly on the
chest, uttered the impressive words,
"Nor next Sunday!' and trlumphantly
marched indoors.

the sun a chance. Let him get good,
square whack at you early in the season.
To avoid the sun with an umbrella when
he first burns savagely Is to invite the
heat prostration habit. Therefore get out
and mingle with the rays as soon as the
season opens. This will do three things
give you a beautiful tinting, fll your
lungs with fresh air and adjust your hide
to the incoming heat. Custom rules in
this as in other things. IL you accustom
yourself to the sun he will be your friend.
The baseball man plays when the ther-
mometer speaks Of 104 and does not abata
his exertons a triHe. Any man or wom,
an who so wishes may do the same thing
in a smaller degree without the hard train
ing of athletes. Having thus prepared
your system for sunlight and lots of it see
that your health is kept up properly. Let
the vascular systematic circulation, ar
terial, venous and capillary-and the ali
mentary system be in proper running or
der and you will suffer little from heat.
Having thus laid the foundation for q
successful season do not spoil it all by in
sanely rushing about your undertakings
under the apparent belief that to-day Is
the last on earth. If you do 1t may be
the last. Hurry never accomplishes any
thing but the discontinue of him who
rushes unduly. a spnstroke usually
comes from exposure directly due to the
rays of the sun. Heat prostration may
overtake a man who has been in the
shade all day. Do not overeat, do not
overdrink, do not overdress. Take exer-
else in moderation. Do not fear the sun.
for unless sick or reduced in vitality by
overindulgence it is your friend rather
than your enemy. Garry out the forego.
ing indefinite rules and you will finish
winner in a summer of scorching heat.

one hundred. The coke business kept
on booming ut n great rate until 3,673
ovens had been built in the region.
Then came the panic of 1873. The
price of pig iron declined enormously,
the price of coke fell in sympathy, and
everybody wanted to get out of the
coke business. Not so with Mr.. Frick.
He invested every dollar that he had
or could raise in purchasing the coke
properties and ovens which others
were so ready to sell at low prices. All
through the panic he kept his ovens
going. In 1876 he separated from his
old partners and took T.. NJ. Ferguson
as new partner. Real success came
to this new firm In 1879, when there
came an unprecedented demand for
coke, and prices went up from 81 to So
a ton.
Under the impetus of this boom Mr..
Frick continued to buy coke ovens and
coke lands until in 1882 his firm had
5000 acres of coal land and 1.026 coke
ovens. 1t was that year that Carnegie
Bros. & Co. Qimited) became partners
Ill tllt VI IL. NJ liNh ~ W.
The success of the firm from 1852 to
1890 was phenomenal. and II is gen.
orally acknowledged that il was In
the greatest degree due to the energy
and push of Mr.. Frick himself. In
1890 the corporation owned and con-
trolled $4,000 acres of coal lands, AZ Of
the so coke plants in the region, with
an aggregate of 10046 ovens, three
water plants and a pumping capacity
of 100000 gallons daily, 30 miles Of
railroad and 1,200 cars. Eleven thou
sand men were on the pay rolls of the
company then. On the death Of David
A. Stewart, in December, 1888, An
drew Carnegie offered Mr.. Frick an in
terest in the firm of Carnegie Bros. &
Co., which Mr.. Frick accepted and paid
for. He was at once made chairman Of
the directors of Carnegie Bros. & Co.
AS an employer of labor Mr.. Frick
earned The everlasting hatred of the
Amalgamated Association. When he
was put at the head of all OF the Car
negie steel interests, the Amalgamated
Association felt that the fight for its

life had come, and in June, 1892, came
the bloody Homestead riots.
1t was time of great political ex-
citement and party managers brought
the greatest influence to bear on Mr..
Frick to get him to agree to the terms
demanded by the men. But he was
deaf to all entreaty. The only question
he would consider was how to defeat
the strikers. He thought Of nothing
else, even after the Anarchist Berkman
had shot him and he was upon a bed
from which it was feared he would
never rise. The bloody battle of Home
stead, when the Pennsylvania State
troops were called out to protect the
Carnegie Works, and in which SO many
lives were lost, did not swerve Mr..
Frick in his purpose. He fought the
strike out and won it.
Mr.. Frick and others were indicted
for manslaughter as result of the
Homestead riots, but the indictments
were afterward dismissed on the mo-
ton Of the prosecuting officers. Since
that time other anarchists have threat
ened to kill Mr.. Frick. 1t is a fact that
he has been nervous on that score. He
is always very careful whom he re-
ceives, either at his home, his Office, or
his hotel. Up to the time the Anarchist
Berkman made an attempt to kill him,
and succeeded in wounding him seri-
ously, Mr.. Frick gave little heed to the
threats made against him, but since
then he has shown more concern for
his personal safety. Personally Mr..
Frick is very pleasant man. He
spends very little time in social pleas
ures and is wrapped up completely in
his business.
