THE ELEMENTS OF GEORGE WEST
INGHOUSE'S SUCCESS.

No doubt it will be of interest to
state briefly what are the characteriS-
tics. as they show themselves to those
who have been thrown with him init
mately, that have contributed to Mr..
Westinghouse's success and to making
him one of the very foremost of the
great captains of industry of our time.
First of all comes his genius as an in
ventor. This was the foundation. Then
comes intimate personal knowledge
of mechanical processes and skill in
the use of tools. 1t will have become
evident in looking over the sketch of
his life that no one but man possess
ed of great intellectual capacity and
keenness could ever have acquired the
personal acquaintance with so many
varied phases of engineering. This
enables him to be the master of his
great works, all of which he has per-
sonally planned. and those who know
him best understand that. while he does
not attempt to direct their routine, he
nevertheless is fully acquainted with
all the details. is able to discuss them
thoroughly with those charged with
their prosecution, and that he takes a
keen personal interest in everything
new and progressive, so that when he
walks through his shops he knows just
how work is going on, and II the pro-
gress has not been what it should be
he calls attention to it at once. In
this respect he is probably without a
peer among the great industrial lead
ers. Many of them, as is well known.
are not technical men at all. and those
who are are limited to one line.
1t would be a very natural infer
ence that a man of such great mental
power and tremendous capacity for
work must also be of powerful ply
siaue. and such is the fact. Mr.. West
inghouse is a splendid type of physical
manhood. standing over six feet, and
would attract attention anywhere. 1t
it this physique, combined with tenn
perate life and cheerful disposition,
that has enabled him to endure the
enormous work which he has already
accomplished and is still doing.-W.

London. Donkey Famine of 1898.


The donkey famine in 1898 was one
of the strangest scarcities that ever be-
fell Britain. One cannot eat donkeyS,
but the dearth of them caused terri
BILE lot of Inconvenience and sent the
price Of Neddy up to prohibitive sum.
There was an epidemic of disease
among the donkeys of the towns. espe-
cially those animals belonging to poor
people. This so thinned out the donkey
roll call that these useful beasts be-
came scarcer than they were ever
known to be. 1t used to be said that
no one has ever seen a dead donkey,
but the proverb was broken that year
there were and quantity. The price
of good donkey jumped from f6 or
e. to f12 within three weeks. and soon
donkeys were scarcely to be had at all.
CosterS and other donkey owners
held meetings to discuss the situation,
but the price rose to Els. and many a
poor man was forced to pay it 1t was
the worst year on record for cOSter-
mongers. Nobody knows to what price
the donkeys would have risen. but an
enterprising firm of shippers imported
some big freights of donkeys from
Spain. These sold like wildfire, and
in fortnight the donkey trade was at
its old level Meanwhile the country
districts had been emptied of donkeys
to supply the town.-London Answers.

A BAD MEXICAN.
STANDARD OIL IN WALL STREET.
The Financial Monarch of the Great
Movements of Recent Speculation in
Wall Street.

At his best, says Henry Clews, in
the Saturday Evening Post, Jay Gould
was always compelled to face the
chance of failure. Commodore Van
derbilt, though he often had the street
in the palm of his hand, was fire.
quently driven into a corner where he
had to do battle for his life; and so
it was with every great Spectator. or
combination of spectators, until the
men who control the Standard Oil took
hold. Their resources are SO vast that
they need only to concentrate on any
given property in order to do with it
what they please; and that they have
thus concentrated on a considerable
number OF properties outside OF the
stocks in which they are popularity sup
posed to be exclusively interested is a
fact well known to every one who has
opportunities of getting beneath the
surface. They are the greatest oper-
ators the world has ever seen, and the
beauty of their method is the quictness
and lack of ostentation with which
they carry it on. There are no gal
lery plays, there are no Scareheads in
the newspapers, there is no wild scram-
BILE or excitement. With them the pro-
cess is gradual, thorough and steady,
with never a waver or break. How
much money this group of men have
made it is impossible even to estimate.
That it is a sum beside which the gain
Of the most daring speculator of the
past was a mere bagatelle is putting
the case mildly. And there is an utter
absence of chance that is terrible to
contemplate. This combination con-
trolls Wall street almost absolutely.
Many of the strongest financial insti
buttons are at their service in supply
in nI lot hnn nh
With such power and facilities it is
easily conceivable that these men
must make enormous sumo on either
side of the market.
