TELLS HOW TO SUCCEED.
YERKES SAYS MAN IS APPREN-
 TICE
Before FOrty-Deoiares Youthful Suc-
 cess Due to Good Luck.

Charles T. Yerkes was interviewed in London by a reporter for the Morning Leader. to whom he talked entertain ingly about young men in business.
 From the age of 21 I succeeded fairly well in my schemes" he said to the re- porter. By the time I was 35 I had accumulated a fortune of some $1000,- 900, which in those days was looked upon as a large fortune. Then, by a stroke of ill luck I lost it all, and had to start the world over again. This, of course, is nothing extraordinary for Americans, who frequently make and lose half dozen large fortunes before they finally consolidate their position. It also as frequently happens that ad- verse strokes of fortune prove a mans best friend, inasmuch as he comes out of each failure all the stronger for the lessons he has learned. Hardship, in my view, often proves part of a young mans good luck
 It'was to gather his views as, to how the young business idea should be taught to shoot, rather than to glean personal details that the Morning Lead CT reporter availed himself of the Americans offer to be of service.
 Tt is the fashion to talk of this age as being an age of young men," said MT. Yerkes. Personally, however, I cannot take the view that there is even an age of youth which is really and overwhelmingly successful The few exceptions simply attest the general rule that young men in their careers are in their apprenticeship till the age of 4O At that age they begin to see the mis- takes they have made and the next ten years form the crucial period of mans career, no matter what his line of life may be- Success that comes when a young man is still in his 20s or sos is due more to god luck than good management. The fact that I lost million myself entities me to speak with some authority"
 'At what age do you consider a man ripe as a business mann"
 "At 50--not before. I think that the man who starts in life with the neces- sary fundamental knowledge and who has ability, may reasonably look for ward to becoming a successful man, provided, of course, he possesses those attributes of character like steadiness, temperance and perseverance, without which no man will succeed. The one thing needful for every young man is to have a clearly defined object in view, to find his metier, to centralize his eff forts on it. and to stick to it for better or for worse. With ordinary luck he cannot fail The greatest evil and the one most fruitful of bankruptcy is the fact that the average young man wants to do too many things at once and be- 1, come rich too quickly"
 MT. Yerkes is of opinion that parents

in the greatest percentage of cases do not pay sufficient attention to discov- ering or fostering particular talent in children.
 If boy he says, lis meant for the electric business, the best time to enter it is between the ages of 17 and IS, when the foundation of a sound educa- tion has been laid. The brain is then plastic and easily adapted to the pe- culiar kind of mental training and study required in electricity. Parents have come to me with their college bred sons of 21 and 23, but in singuarly few cases have they proved of much ser vice"
 As to electricity as profession for young men, MT. Yerkes has the great est as to it's being one of the greatest of the future.
 "I have had men of singular talents judged from the purely professional and intellectual point of view, whom I could not trust with twelve subordin- ates, and on the other hand men of in- ferior capacity, whom I could trust without instructions with the handling of 10000 operatives"

The government of the Boer laager is strictly local government, conducted by burghers duly elected by the men, so that the British authorities in no way exercise control. In fact none of the sentries of the Warwickshire regiment, that IS acting as a guard, ever enters the inclosure. A few attempts to escape nave been made, but the Hoers them selves discourage these. The prisoners make few complaints; such as are made are presented by the chosen Boer off, elals. The relations between the im- prisoned Boers and their British jailers are inspired by respect and considera- tlon on both sides.-New York Sun.

THE DESTROYER IN A NUTSHELL.
 Since the loss of the Cobra public at tention has been fastened on destroyers and torpedo craft, and the most tri- fling and ordinary break down appears in the daily newspapers as Another Mishap to a Destroyer"
 The cause of such accidents is well enough known, and may be explained inc non technical language as follows: A destroyer bears herself in a seaway by virtue of elasticity; she is, or should be, built to "give" in just the same fashion, though, of course, not to the same degree, as long, thin lath of wood which bends to a strain, and SO survives what would otherwise break it. In rough weather and in certain seas destroyer is often poised upon wave with her ends out of water, or nearly so; or the reverse may obtain, and the amidships portion be left un- supported while the bow and stern are carried on wave tops. Any one may reproduce these conditions tolerably faithfully with a long lath of wood, dropping it on this fulcrum and that, with as much force, in reason, as he will, without breaking the lath or in any way hurting it. This is the theory upon which a properly constructed de- stroyer is built
 Let us now suppose that the lath is 'strengthened"--by mailing an extra lath on short portion of the length where the strain may be normally greatest. At once greater rigidity will be seccured, and the lath will be far less easily snapped at the reinforced part. But it is at least twice as likely to break where the extra piece stops; the two ends acting as fulcrum to break it. And, while the original lath may be waved in the air and struck against objects without meeting de- struction, the reinforced one is almost certain to smash with the same or n less strain.-F. T. Cove in Contempo- rary.

Kicks Over the Traces.

Congressman Brown, of Ohio, has cecome
weary of McKinley's Philippine policy, and, in
speech few days ago, he roundly scored the
administration. Among other things, he said:
ga colonial policy will be radical departure
from the course which our government has con-
stantly adhered to in this splendid career of
more than hundred years. colonial policy
will be maintained at the cost-greater than
any sum of money can measure-of violating
principles which we have cherished as the very
lite of free government. A colonial policy
will require us to govern without the consent of
the governed. colonial policy will destroy
the high ideals which we have so proudly fol-
lowed from our beginning as a nation.''

HANNA SEES A GHOST.
II is "SOCiali liSm."

The Republican club of New York city gave
a Lincoln banquet at the Waldorf-Astoria.
While the dinner was served in the large ball
room, another dinner was served in the Astor
gallery to about seventy-6ve women, invited
guests of members of the club. When the
speech making began the women filed into the
lower tier of boxes.
Senator Hanna responded to the toast "The
Business Man in Politics." He sad in part:
"Poitics is business, and very serious busi-
ness at that. AS for me, in the discharge of
the duties to which, of late, l have been called,
have noted with pride and pleasure the ready
response of the business man to any appeal to
him on behalf of the needs of his country. We
mad great example of that at the close of the
last campaign, when those thousands of bust
ness men of the metropolis stood for principles.
l am here to thank you for what you did then.
Upon you must depend whether the great prin-
ciples for which Lincoln stood and for which
which we stand shall perpetuate the foundation
of our government and its policy.
"The influence OF the business man il poll
tics is more far-reaching than one would at
first imagine. We don't wish to arraign class
agains: class. The great mass OF worklngmen
who are the employees Ct capital, and, there
fore, the partners of capital, wield great in
huence either for good or evil, as they are
made to see things. 1t is the duty of the tus-
ness man of America to show that great class
the most powerful because of its numbers
that we do not discriminate between classes,
but that we have their welfare at heart. Then
we have no fear when it comes to an issue be-
tween Repubicanism and Socialism"

tells the story. 1t reveals the ghost that is

$SOO,OOO,OOO of Appropriations for the Coming
Fiscal Year, Declares Senator Hale, and
Chairman Allison Admits it,
TIDE STILL RISING--NO WAY TO STOP 1T.
Shocked at the Idea OF Bli0n-D0llar Session.

"We were shocked at the idea of billion
dollar congress- and before we know it, we
will have a 'billion-dolar session."
Then Mr.. Teller spoke: 81 believe the SEN
ator from Maine is nearer tight than is the SEN
ator from Iowa when he says hat the appro-
priations will amount to $500, ,ooo, ,ooo.'
Speaking solemnly and impressively, Mr..
Hale said: "The military budget of this re-
public for the coming year will be nearly $780,
900, ,ooo II will be nearly twice what any
great European power is spending"
"That is for the army and navy?" inquired
Mr.. Morgan.
Mr.. Hale: "For the army and navy and
pensions and incidentials.' ~
Mr.. Cubertson closed the incident by sa, Ing: :
"The senator from Iowa suggests that the ap
preparations for the military establishment will
probably be sI35, 600, 900. The secretary Of
war estimates that the expenditures for the
coming year will approximate STA, 900,
with an army Of 100000
The pension appropriation bill, as it passed
the senate, carried $144, 900, 900. The naval
appropriation bill reported from the senate
committee carried an aggregate expenditure of
$78,6o6,o73, an increase of 81 ,6oI, 900 over
the house bill.

over Sampson and Schley promises to be hotter
than eqer if an attempt is made to confirm their
promotions Senator Pettigrew has notified
the committee on naval affairs that he will not
permit Sampson to be advanced over Schley,
and that he can rely upon the support of SEN
ators Tillman, Mason, Allen, Butler, Yelling
ton, McComas and Money, who will talk till
doomsday if necessary. Senator Chandler made
proposition to confirm the other promotions
first, and then let the Sampson and Schl.v con-
troversy occupy the spare time of the senate.
This will probably be arranged"

the ground, and has heard the tread of the So.
cialistic army, whose ranks arc daily growing,
not only from among the workingmen, but
from among the educators and other profession
al and business men of the country, and all of
Hanna's speeches before the millionaire bust
ness men will not check the onward march of
the Socialistic army.

Judge Brewer on "NatiOniSm. /"

New HAVEN, CONN, Feb. 16-In the
course of his address to the students of Yale
university. Justice David Brewer, of the United
Sta.es supreme court, referring to the prohibi-
ton law in Kansas, said: "If every man end
woman in Kansas had done his best since 1850
to enforce prohibition in that state, George
Washington would not have been obliged to
divide his hatchet reputation with Mrs. Nation
The problem of government by the people de-
pends upon the way service at the primaries is
performed. To the man who has solemn
sense of what government by the people means,
the primary ana tine polls are sacred places.
The college graduate can make no excuse. He
is tue last man in the world who can plead ig-
norance of his duty in citizenship. He leaves
the college an ambassador from the court of
learning. Unfortunately, no one can doubt
that money is becoming factor-a harmful
factor--in our politics. There is temptation
for an Office holder to go out of Office at least
worse than when he came. This is an evil
and it is more of an evil than it was in days
gone by. l appeal to the value OF high con.
scientiousness TO cure this. Let every one see
to ii that, by keeping himself aloof from its
contamination, he is doing all IN his power to
remedy these conditions" !"
In conclusion, the eminent jurst made this
prophecy: eff the people of the United
States ever believe, or ever come to belive, that
commercialism controls politics, they will rise
and will rid Themselves by forcing aside ell those
whom they believe are responsible for thes,
conditions
