A Salary Worth Working For.

SfF b Z
We have good authority for
stating that Chas. M. Schwab,
general manager of the greatest
steel trust in the world, is to re-
ceive salary of 100000 per
year, with contract for five
years. It was one of the condi-
tions when Carnegie sold out
that SchWab was to be the man
ager of the new organization and
undoubtedly this condition was
made because of Schwab's good
work in the past and because he
is a respectable man, perfectly
capable of managing the immense
business of this trust.
What Is it that fits a man for
such responsibility as this?
Is it not training the mind for
years and storing up knowledge
Of all kinds. Then if is, why
don't the boys and girls take a
greater interest in school studies
for they are the very things
which the wisest men Of the
nation have placed in reach OF
every person for the special pur-
pose Of training the mind for the
very best work it is capable Of.
If an athlete is going to enter
q contest he exercises regularly
and trains himself in every avail
able manner. In this manner he
gains strength and activity which
are the very things he wants no
matter what part he takes in the
contest. The same may be said
of school work. b Latin, although
it is not a language which we ex-
pect to use, is one of the best
kinds of exercise for the mind. |
consider geometry as the best
mental training that can be had
and it also proves the statements
in common use, as for example;
that the volume of a cone is equal
to the product Of the base by one
third of the altitude. These diff
ferent branches of school work
are to the mind what physical
training is to the body. And
these are what prepare people
for the responsibility of 81, 0O0,-
600 per year office There can be
no doubt that such an Office is
worth our best and most earnest
efforts while our school life con-
tinues. Therefore let us all pre-
pare ourselves for such posi-
ton as fast as possible.
It's hard to realize what a
large amount of money 81 ,OOO,O 900
is, but when we think that if Mr..
Schwab received his salary week
ly, he would take home to his
family every Saturday night
$19,23O.75 and if he stayed at
home one day to help do the
washing he would be locked
S3,2O5. II, which Bemidii people
would not lose even to see cir
Gus. Ii they were strict with
the time keeping and he was an
hour late because he didn't hear
the alarm, he wonld lose $356.12
and if he took one minute to ligh1
his pipe, the company would be
paying him S.. 50 for time wasted
With him every tick of the clocl
means nine and four-ffth cents

Stop at Delmonte and Monterey fora
Few Days Rest

Delmonte, Cal, May 1.-THE presi-
dent and his party today enjoyed
comparatively quiet day. They came
here for two days rest to prepare for
the trying programme laid out for them

at the hotel. This afternoon immedi-
ately after luncheon, the party was
driven over to Monterey, two miles
from the hotel and the president made
brief speech. The entire population
of this historic old town, the capital of
the republic of California, turned out
to welcome him and there was the usual
prolific display of flowers. The speak
ing took place at the point where the
bear flag. the standard of the republic
was first raised in California.
The party then continued on their
journey to Pacific Grove small neigh

them at first in a light vein, he was
visibly moved as he proceeded and
spoke of the perils and sacrifices they
had endured together.

but Mrs. Mckinley was indisposed and
it was decided to return to the hotel

tieth volunteer infantry, quartermas-
ter Of the department Of Southern Lu-
zon. on charges connected with the
commissary scandals, was finished to-

The department of Southern LuZon

suit of the remaining Filipino bands.
1t is expected that the island of Min
doro will be occupied in the near fu-
ture. Many fugitive Tagalos and a
quantity Of arms are reported to be
concealed in Mindoro.
The United States Philippine commits
sion is overrun with applications for
civil positions, and the officers of the
new provinces are submitting many
questions to the commission. The rou-
tine business of the commissioners is
heavy. The provincial officers have en-
countered no serious difficulties.

NO STOCK TO BE HAD
Position of Short Sellers of Northern

London. May ia special meeting

who have given calls for Northern Pa

a single share for delivery. The stu
alton has depressing effect.
Owing to the closing of the New
York stock exchange Americans were
absolutely stagnant, awaiting develop

j. Pierpont Morgan will be in Lon

will be held. Itis hoped he and Kuhn.
Loeb & Co., will do something to re-
feve the situation. In the meanwhile
there is considerable anxiety
Though the closing of the stock ex-
change here was easier, quotations
mostly showed a marked advance
Northern Pacific common was quoted

tion with the settlement.

orators could share in the profits OF
the enterprise. Instead of being a det-
riment. he considered the big corpora
tions as affording the best openings
for labor and enterprise. There were
never such opertunities for brains as
today" he said. 'If were a Iaboring
man, as l once was. / should not want
to belong to a labor organization if
employed by properly managed cor
poration like the Steel Corporation. for
1 would not want to be put on a level
with the poorest workman in the es-
tablishment. The tendency Is TO give
the highest possible price for proper
service, and no member OF a labor or
ganization is in position TO avail him
self of such disposition"
He said that the average of wages
paid now by the steel companies Is
higher than previous to 1892 The
question was not one Of wages. but OF
the management OF business with which
the labor unions wanted TO interfere
In conclusion Mr.. Schwab said he
could see nothing but good TO re-
suit from business combinations He
| considered them of value both TO the
investor and to labor and thought
| they were calculated to extend busi-
ness

WAR DEPARTMENT PAPERS
OFFERED FOR SALE BY A GlfRK IN THE
GOVERNMENTS EMPLOY
For Two Hundred Dollars He Proposes
Under Assumed Name. to Counsel OF
Neeley to Deliver Copies of Papers in
that Case-The Counsel Turns the
Matter Over to the Department-De-
tectives Spot the Man and He is Dis
missed.

Washington, May 11.-An attempt to
sell the confidential communications
between the attorney general and the
secretary of war in the Neely case
was unearthed today by Chief Wilkie
of the secret service.
Information had been obtained from
John d. Lindsay, counsel for Neely, in
New York, who had received a letter
signed John B. Dickinson, offering him
copies of the correspondence. Mr..
Lindsay turned the matter over to the
attorney general, and the latter placed
the case in the hands of Chief Wilkie.
An office was stationed at the gen.
eral delivery window of the local post
office and when a man presented him
self and asked for mail for John B.
Dickinson he was followed. He went
to the insular division of the war de-
partment. Shortly afterward a confer
ence was held between the secretary
of war, Solicitor General Richards of
the department of justice; Colonel Ed
wards, chief of the insular bureau, and
Chief Wilkie.
1t was discovered that the man rep
resenting himself as John 3. Dicken-
son was William Davis Williams, stem
ographer to Colonel Edwards, position
which he has held for a year past. He
was at one time private secretary to
ex-Congressman Brumm, of Pennsyl-
vania, and came here from MinerSville,
Pa. Williams volunteered to turn the
correspondence that he had attempted
to sell to Lindsay over to the officials
here. AS the sale of the correspondence
had not been completed no charge was
| made against Williams but he was
summarily dismissed by the secretary
| of war.
The papers which Williams desired
| to sell TO Mr.. Lindsay consisted of the
| draft Of an opinion of the attorney gen
| eral upon questions submitted by Mr.
| Lindsay relative to requisition testi-
| mony in the Neely case. The opinion
was prepared by an assistant attorney
| familiar with the Neely case, and was
| submitted to Secretary Root for consid.
| Grafton and observation. There, also
was a letter from Secretary Root to the
attorney general. These papers VIII
| liams offered for 5000.

ARCHBISHOP CHAPELLE
Opposed In the Philippines Because he
Inclines Toward American Priests

Manila. May IA petition is on its
way to the pope. signed practically by
all the native priests against the re-
turn here of Archbishop Chapelle as
administrator and favoring the return
of Archbishop Nozalda. who, although
in Rome. is still archbishop of Manila,
his resignation never having been ac-
cepted. The opposition to Archbishop
Chapelle is chiefly on account Of his
expressed intention to encourage the
establishment of American priests in
the Philippines. The petition cites an
American military order against plac-
ing of ecclesiastics over people who
are opposed to them. There is no prob
ability of Archbishop Chapalle's re-
turn or his transportation from the
archbishoporic of New Orleans.
The petition indicates a change Of
sentiment with reference to Archbishop
Nezalda. The question is whether the
people will approve of it. The friar is
sue is dwindling. If the friars return to
wanted it is believed this will not con-
Germ the government, unless unlawful
acts are committed. The question Of
the ownership Of the friars' lands will
be settled through suits brough by
the complaining towns, rather than on
the governments initiative.

Jacksonville, Fla. May 1.-THE city
will remain under NATAL law indefi-
nitely. This was decided here today
at a conference between the executive
committee Of the Jacksonville relief
assoc 9 tion and Governor Jennings
and a special committee of the Flor
ida legislature. The executive COM
mittee stated plainly to the governor
at the conference that it apprehended
danger from the hordes who have
been f1ocking to Jacksonville in the
hope of securing free rations without
work, and it is believed that the mill
itia should remain on duty such time
as the committee should decide that
their presence was necessary.
J. r. Parrot, chairman of the COM
missary department, stated at the con-
ference that he expected trouble when
his department puts into effect plans
that are now being considered to elm
mate all unworthy applicants for food
and work. This will be some time
next week.
There is plenty of work in Jackson
| vile for all kinds of laborers. but

! especially in the clearing away Of de-
| bris. Next week it is understood
that these men will be either forced
to work or leave the city, and the mil
| itia will be used to enforce this man
date.
| Jacksonville was visited today by
| Governor Jennings and a committee
| from the legislature who came to
view the situation, with a view to de-
termining how long it would be neces-
sary for the state militia to remain
here on guard.

decided that, despite the expense of

Testing Seed Wheat.

Minneapolis millers and elevator
men are advising the farmers in the
northwest to take great pains in Sc
lecting seed grain this year. They
claim that nearly all the wheat stored
was more or less damp and has be-
come heated The heating or fer
mentative action has taken place and
thus injured the terminating quail
ties. The safest way will be to test
the seed. A. good way to test the
seed is to put the seed between two
pieces of damp cloth in a shallow
dish covered from the light, having
the ends of the cloth so arranged that
they will dip into water and thus
keep the seeds moist. In four or
five days the seeds will have made
sufficient growth SO that those which
are sprcuted can be determined with
accuracy. This is better than the
soil test.
