New York, May s.-Charles NJ. Schwao,
nresident of the United States Steel Cor
poration. talked for twenty minutes to-
night to 800 poor boys of the East side
students in st. Georges Evening Trades
School. The occasion was the commence
ment exercises of the school. Mr.. Schwab
said among other things:
From my long experience I am led to
believe that many boys make the mistake
of depending upon influence to obtain for
them positions of profit This Is a serl-
Gus drawback to any boy, for even If he
has the talents necessary to advancement,
other boys, his competitors, will say that
his success or partial success was due,
not to merit but to influence. Go your
self to seek work in life and depend upon
Your own exertions and merits. Merit
must.count and must win. The boy who
depends upon influence is handicapped
sadly from the start.
mo matter what business you enter,
the essential feature to success is that
you perform your tasks better than any
body else This alone viii command at
tention. Everybody is expected to do his
duty. but the boy or man who does lit
ale more is certain of promotion

Success is not money making alone

great men know in industrial and man.
ufacturing lines, none is a college-bred
man, but they are men who received an
industrial or mechanical education and
who worked up by perseverance and ap-
plication. Let me advise you all to make
an early start in life. The boy with the
manual training and the common school
education who can start in life at 16 or II
can leave the boy who goes to college I'M
til he is 20 or more, so far behind in the
race that he can never catch up. This,
however does not apply to professional
life. The other day l was at gathering
of forty successful business men-men in
industrial and manufacturing business,
and the question arose as to how many
were college bred men. OF the forty only
two had been graduated from colleges
and the rest of the party, thirty-eight in
number had received only common
school educations; had started in life as
poor boys So l say, as parting advice,
start early"

CAR0LINA'S VETERANS.
Great Gathering-Miss Lumpkin
Enthuses the Old Men.

Entnuses tine Oiu MEN,
Columbia. s. c.. May s.-Georgia car
ried off the laurels at the first meeting
of the South Carolina Veterans tonight.
The new theater, beautifully decorated,
and with seating capacity Of 1850, con-
tained $500 people. The parquet and dress
circle being one solid mass of grey
headed veterans. Gen. Hampton was the
foremost figure on the stage, and among
Others near him were Generals Gordon
and West of Georgia.
Cardinals chief made the address of
welcome on behalf OF Camp Hampton,
and was given a rousing reception. The
veterans of Georgia, officers and privates,
had been invited to this reunion, and
many of them were here, the guests of
the city. The task OF entertaining them
on behalf of South Carolina had been as
signed to a daughter of Georgia, but
lately adopted by this stae, Miss Eliza
beth Lumpkin, daughter of w. w. Lump
kin, the South Carolina agent for the
Georgia Road.
To say this fair young woman took
the vast audience by storm and wound
herself about the hearts of the old sol
diers, bringing tears to thousand eyes
and causing them to rise and yell and
yell again, is the simple truth. No wo-
man has SC touched an audience in Caro-
lima before, perhaps none has before
made such a thrilling speech with patriot
ism, and delivered 1t in such a masterful
manner.
No prima donna who may in years to
come appear in that theater may hope
for such an ovation. Miss Lumpkin pre-
pared her speech herself. When the eyes
were dry, the old soldiers called for Cor
don, and would permit no continuation Of
the programme until he spoke. He was
given splendid reception, and when he
alluded to Hampton as the greatest man
South Carolina had ever produced, men
and women arose and yelled. 4"
Then Gen. West spoke, and at a late
hour Rev. ]. H. Thornwall delivered the
annual address to the veterans and Sons
of Veterans.
The Southern Railway alone brought in
to-day 1890 veterans tickets. 1t is the
largest gathering of South Carolina SOL
diers ever held. One hundred and thirty
five camps were represented.

THE FOOD OF FISHES.

Dish of Greens.

Dish of Greens.
From the Baltimore Sun.
Many persons have the idea that the
food OF nearly all the fishes is animal
life found in the sea. This is probably
true of many varieties, but not a few
fishes are vegetarians and there are
good many fish that vary their meat diet
with more or less vegetable food.
A little while ago an English naturalist
who was dissecting a Dream found In it's
stomach. in addition ito a crab, consid-
cradle quantity of two kinds of seaweed.
though the Dream is reputed to live on
animal life. Some OF the textbooks say
that the gray mullet. a popular fish in
British waters feeds ouly on the animal
matter It obtains by straining sand or
mud in its mouth This is not a scien-
tific conclusion. No biologist Of a Euro
pean university could convince a practical
Cornwall fisherman that the gray null
let does not eat seaweed He knows
that this is so. for he often finds the
fish's stomach full of seaweed.
There Is a great deal of vegetable mat
ter floating around in the sea. Everybody
knows Of the eddy In the Atlantic ocean

miles around a great center. the Sargas-

TO CLOSE STARCH FACTORIES.
Unsettled Price of Corn CompeIs This
stem,

Indianapolis, Ind, May S.-Orders have
been received at the twelve or fifteen fac
tories of the National Starch Company,
including the factory in this city, to get
ready to close down, until the corn mar
ket shall become settled again. The price
of starch, it is said, has not kept pace
with the price of corn and there is no
profit in buying corn at the present prices,
to make into starch.
The local company stopped buying corn
May 1. William F. Peel, manager, says
that he understands that glucose manu-
facturers will close their plants also. No
date is set for the shut down, but it is
believed that it will occur about June l.
The time that the shut down is to last
will depend ii is said, on the future con-
dition of the corn market. 1t will not
last longer, 1t is thought, than the period
necessary for the maturity of the new corn
crop. $685.
