Pen Pictures Of the Leaders In the
Great Trust Battle.
| On account of the great strike Of the
Amalgamated association against the
Steel trust, the leaders of the two or
neutrality-suspicious. J. Shaffer and
Charles M. Schwab-are likely to fig
ure prominently before the public dur
ing the next few months.
THEODORE J. sHAFFER.
He was born so years ago in the Mo-
nongahela coal district, and as soon as
he was able he went to work as a mine
boy. While still very young he became
sheet roller in a tin mill. Nights, af-
ter he had finished work, he studied, and
finally saved enough money to enter
as student in the Western universi-
| ty. He could not complete his course,
but kept up his studies, and was Or
dained minister of the Methodist
Episcopal church.
For three years he was pastor of
the Brownville church of that denomi-
nation Charges of intemperance
against him forced him to quit the
ministry. He went back to his old
job. That was Is years ago. He after
wards was one of the organizers Of the
local lodge of the Amalgamated associ-
alton.
He was elected assistant president of
ha fof tr,
1897 was elected its president. He has
been thrice reelected.
He Is not magnetic man, being too
reserved and studious, but he is flu
ent talker. His talk, however, appeals
more to the reason than to the emo
tions. He is married, and, like Mr..
Schwab, Is childless. He lives in a
modest little cottage in Rosetta street,
In the East End of Pittsburg. His SAL
ary is s1,50O year.
CHARLES NJ. scHwAB.
He was born in 1864 at Loretta, Pa.
He was educated in the same town,
and at the age Of Is drove a stage
across the mountains. A year later he
was a clerk in a grocery store at Brad
dock, with a salary Of $3.50 a week.
The same year he became stake driv-
er in the Carnegie engineering corps at
salary Of 81 a day. Seven years later
he was chief engineer and built the
Homestead steel plant. He was its
manager for two years.
At q he became manager of the Ed
gar Thompson Steel works, and re-
mained there two years, after which
he was made a general manager Of the
entire plant. In 1896 Mr.. Carnegie
made him one Of his young partners In
the Carnegie Steel company. He was
elected president Of 1t soon after at a
salary. it is said, of s1,OO0,0OO. When
the billion dollar United States Steel
corporation was organized Mr.. Schwab
was elected its president at the same
salary.
He was married when 21 to the
daughter of his landlady. He has no
children. He does not believe IN COL
lege education for a business career,
and studied metallurgy, chemistry and
the process of manufacturing steel IN
laboratory fitted up in his own home.
He Is said to be worth from $10,0OO,OOO
to s4O,OOO,OOo.

The Corner in Northern Pac;ac
NEW YORK, May 9,-The Wall
Street Journal says:
Northern Pacific has again brought
menace to the speculative situation. II
is singular that this stock should have
played an important part in railway af-
fairs at three periods so widely separ-
ated as 1873, 1884 and 1901. Twice
Northern Pacific has brought ruin 10
those who were long of the stock and
now 1t has brought very heavy losses
10 those who were short Northern Pa
eihc pulled down the house of law
Cooke & Co. and defeated the ambi-
lions of Mr.. Willard and his associates
Where the burden of loss will finally
rest this time remains to be seen.
The story of what has occurred in
the last two weeks shows the terrific
power possessed by great financial in
terests when they come in conflict. The
beginning was with the purchase Of
Burlington. That operation changed
the balance sof power and set at work
the forces which have since been so
influential in making prices.
The Burlington purchase and the es-
adjustment of the Hill-Morgan trans
continental line developed personal an
tagonisms. long existing, but which
hamed up under new possibilities in
railway control. We do not know what
particular match may have fired the
fame, but the explosion took the form
of large buying of Union Pacific with
the avowed purpose of wrestling con-
troll from the Hartman syndicate. Inn
mense counter buying followed with i

The NATIONAL OIL AND Pipe LINE COMPANY OF BEAUMONT 1ExAs
Capital Stock 100000 Fully Non-Assessable Divided
Into Five Million Shares Each of Which Three
Million Shares Are Treasury

Ills company owns the biggest oil
well in the world.
The following statistics suggest its
amazing character:
Flowing capacity per day. 900 bbls.
Value of daily production at 40
cents per barrel .......... $40 900
Should this production be maintain
ed for only one year, this single we'll.
would produce $4,000
In addition to the above named well
the company owns, under lease, the oil
rights of two hundred thousand acres
of what it believes to be the most val
liable oil lands IN Texas, which will be
speedily developed.
THE PRODUCT AND THE MARKET.
This is a fuel oil, three and a half
barrels of which have a fuel value
equal to one ton of the best soft coal.
Oil is rapidly supplanting coal for
manufacturing, railway, and heating
purposes, and the market for it is prac-
tically unlimited.
The company proposes to become its
own distributor to the leading coal con-
Stunning points of the world. Because
of its enormous productive capacity
and its proximity to the seaboard it
will be able to market it's product at
the lowest cost known in the history
of oil production.
To this end it proposes to at once
construct immense storage tanks and
it's own pipe line to Port Arthur,
Texas, on the Gulf of Mexico This is
a distance of less than twenty miles
from the present well From this point
the oil will be distributed by the com
pany's own system of tank barges and
steamers to the worlds markets. The
vast trade possibilities which will thus
be opened up are almost inconceiyably
great.
