TO PASS THE CROWD.
All Cannot BE Brilliant No Matter
How Healthy.

II probably comes to every thoughtful
person at times that there are plenty of
common, mediocre people, and that II one
determines to, he or she can press to the
front pass the crowd, and win position,
fame, and gold. 1t is largely matter
of determination and health. Many de-
termined character with brilliant posi-
bilities is held back by ill health. Some
find that bright, keen thoughts refuse to
come to their brains, and wonder why.
The kind of brain work that makes sue

refuse to supply body with food and drink

SUCCESSOR TO CHIEF PARIS.
The Underwriters Give Their Views
Relative to the Appointment.

A delegation of fire Underwriters called
upon Commissioner MacfarIand yesterday
TO talk over several matters with him, and
especially the appointment of a successor
to Joseph Paris as Chief Engineer of the
Fire Department. The committee was
composed of Meyer Cohen, Henry Wells,
Col. r. w. Tyler, II. K. Simpson, A. n.
Hamilton and w. Riley Decide. Speaking
TO the Commissioners relative to the ap-
pointment of the new Chief Of the Fire
Department, the committee expressed the
hope that a man would be chosen who
would build up the department and put
| it on the best possible footing. II was
said that selection should be made with
regard to the abilities of the chief. and
without reference to whether he was or
was not an expert fireman. The commit
| tee sought to impress on the mind of the
Commissioner the fact that it was of the
greatest importance that the Fire De-
partment should be very much improved,
alike as to it's personnel. its discipline,
and its efficiency. The man placed at
the head o. the department should raise
the department to the highest utility as
protection TO life and property of the
District.
The delegation did not present to the
Commissioner the name of any candidate.
1t is understood that the names OF several
men were mentioned and their avaiia bill
ty somewhat discussed, but the under
writer's came TO talk over the situation
presented in the Fire Department rather
than to advocate the name of any man for
the place. Their object was to state the
views of the insurance men of the city as
TO the needs of the Fire Department, and
the best means to pursue in order to i'm
nroye its condition Their view was that
the Commissioners should find man with
broad views executive ability, and force
of character TO preside over the depart
ment without reference to his being an
experienced fireman.
The committee also talked with the
Commissioner relative to the office and
| duties of the Fire Marshal They told Mr.
Fire Marshal was an important one, not
| only from the standpoint of estimating
the fire losses, but from the standpoint of
constant inspection of cellars, business
houses etc, as a means of preventing
fires. They thought the Office ought to be
enlarged and made of greater efficiency.
If need be the marshal should have an as
sistant the committee thought, in order
that the work of inspection of premises
might be better and more frequently
done
The committee called the attention of
the Commissioner TO the extensive use
OF gasoline in the District. and asked
him that the regulations in regard to its
use be rigidly enforced.
Commissioner mcfarland, after listen
ing attentively to all that was said, and
after discussing some of the points rails
ed with his callers, told them that he APP
preciated all the advice that had been
given
The times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1897-1901, 1901-04-19

for national aid to the South to help
them lift this burden of colored educa-
ton"
In conclusion he declared that any race
should be proud to have produced such
a man as Booker T. Washington.
F. 3. Sanborn declared that no white
man could discuss the question of raising
the negro with the same fitness as such
a negro as Mr.. Washington. He deplored
the fact that those who predict the flu
ture of the negro race usually take the
dark view.
Color. he said did not establish any
intrinsic differences in races. He looked
upon the question of mixed races and APP
proved of Kelly Miller's statement that
the mixture of blood had even now af-
fected almost every negro, and great
many whites in this country.
Mrs Ona Langhorne, of Lynchburg,
Va, presented the case of the negro from
the point of view of the old STAKEHOLDER.
declaring that it was a great mistake to
consider all negroes as one race, as even
in slavery times the blacks were divided
according to their gifts, the more intelli-
gent ones being given places in the house.
In her opinion. the advance of the negro
race in the forty years of freedom had
been unparalleled in history.

KILLED BY INGRATITUDE
The Cause of the Downfall of the
Wall Paper Trust.
Really Philanthropic Institution.
Mr.. Burn Tells the Industrial
Commission - The Public Did Not
Recognize Its Actual Benefactor.

Henry Burn, President of the Nation
81 Wall Paper Company and Chairman OF
the Committee on Dissolution of that
concern testified before the Industrial
Commission yesterday on the rise and
fall of the Wall Paper Trust Mr. Burn
gave clearly and concisely the history of
the combination since its inception, the
reasons for its organization, its opera
lions during the eight years of its exis-
tence, and the causes which led to its
dissolution.
He stated that during the past thirty
years the manufacturers of wall paper
had from time to time combined for the
purpose of bringing about a uniformity
of prices and of terms of credit. The
first Of those arrangements was sim
pie agreement to maintain a certain sche-
dule OF prices and to give certain terms
of credit. No provision was made for the
enforcement of this agreement, and con-
sequently there was no way in which "a
penalty could have been inflicted for its
violation.
For a time. however, the agreement was
fairly well observed, but after the panic
of 1873 there was such an intense compe-
tition that little regard was paid to its
terms. This led to its abandonment, and
for several years an open market pre-
vailed, which caused a great depreciation
in prices and rendered business all but
improbable. Finally the industry reach
sd such a low ebb that the manufacturers
of wall paper decided to harmonic,
and in 1880 formed the American Wall Pa
per Manufacturers Association, through
which the profits Of the various manufac-
turers were pooled. There was a general
advance in the price of raw materials
about that time and as the association
comprised nearly every factory Of any
Importance in the country, no difficulty
was experienced in advancing prices.
Under this advance and aided in great
measure by the then prosperous condition
of the country, the operations of the com
pany proved profitable. This condition
of affairs continued for eight years, the
mutual interest OF the manufacturers
alone holding them together, and while
each manufacturer was obliged to furnish
security for the performance Of his part
of the contract. the amount of such Sc
curity was so small compared to the vol
