SCHWAB TALKS TO BOYS.
Head of the Great Steel Trust Points
the Path to Success-Discredits
College Education,

Charles M. Schwab, president of the
United States Steel corporation, talked
for 20 minutes the other night to 300
poor boys of the East side, students in
St. Georges evening trades school.
The occasion was the commencement
exercises of the school. Mr.. Schwab
said, among other things:
From my, long experience am led
to believe that many boys make the
mistake of depending upon influence
to obtain for them positions of profit.
Go yourself and seek work in life and
depend upon your own exertions and
merit. Merit must count and merit
must win. The boy who depends upon
influence is handicapped from the
start.
"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 till he is 20 or more so far
behind in the race that he can never
catch up. This, however, does not ap-
ply to the professional life. The
other day was at a gathering of 40
successful business men-men in in
dustrial and manufacturing business
and the question arose as to how many
were college bred men. o. the 40 only
two had been graduated from colleges
and the rest Of the party, 3S in num-
Der, had received only common school
educations; had started in life as poor
boys. Sc, say, as parting advice,
start earlY.'

EDUCATION OF INDIANS.
Congress May Pass Law at It's Next
Session Providing for Compulsory
Attendance on Schools.

Congress at it's next session in all
probability will pass a law providing
for compulsory education of Indian
children. The Importance of such
law will be pointed out again by Indian
Commissioner Jones, and he will rec
ommend the adoption of law such as
is in effect in 90 states and two terri
tories. This recommendation will have
the Endorsement of Secretary Hitch
cock, who has made study of this
question and has realized the i'm
portance of educating the offspring of
the Indians.
1t is contended this is the only way
in which the Indians can be civilized.
Recommendation of this character
have been made by predecessors of Sec
retary Hitchcock, but as yet congress
has not seen fit to adopt law which
will llcompel the Indians to attend school
whether they wish to or not.
Recently this question has been gone
into deeply by the officials Of the In
dian office, and all those who have par
ticipated in the investigation agree
that the ignorance and superstition of
the average father and mother is the
chief obstacle in the way of getting In
dians to school. Sometimes, however,
the white men on the Indian reserva-
tions foster the opposition of the older
Indians to education. Some of the
tribes favor the schooling of their
children, and returned students are
helpful in bringing about awholesome
sentiment in favor of educating the
children of the wards of the nation.

GOVERNMENT LOSING MONEY,
The Ownership of TELEGRAPH Lines
Does Not Pay in Great
Britain

Henniker Heaton, conservative, in
the house of commons the other day
drew attention to the annual loss of
e7oO,00O in the telegraph service, ag-
gregating eS,300,OOO since the govern
ment took over the lines, and asked
how the government proposed to rem
edy this.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, the chan
cellor of the exchequer, admitted the
correctness of the figures. The rea-
son OF the loss was that the public was
more eager for rapid communication
than the revenue warranted. Unpro-
ductiye extensions must be discour-
aged.
Mr.. Heaton also asked if the govern
ment was prepared to lease the tele-
graph lines to a private company. The
chancellor of the exchequer did not re
ply.

MAKE BIG PROFITS.
POULTRY Raisers In Hawaiian Islands
Obtain High Prices for Their
Products.

A curious fact has developed in re-
iation to raising poultry in Hawaii.
Enormous quantities of ducks are
raised by the Chinese upon the edges
of the ocean. Twice day, within
restricted areas, they are permitted
to eat the young fish which swim in
the inclosed coves. Fish are reported
to be growing scarcer every year.
and by some this diminution is at
tributed to the wholesale destruction
OF the young fry by the Chinese.
Whether this be true or not, the
duck experiments by the Chinese
demonstrated the feasibility of grow
ing poultry extensively on the is
lands. Chickens and eggs are ex-
cessively high and are raised on the
island in limited quantities, the bulk
of the latter coming from China.
The experts of the agricultural de-
partment say the poultry industry
could be largely developed by proper
experiments.

MUST TAKE A REST.
Miss Helen Gould Worn Out by Her
Many Charitable Enterprises.
By order of Her Physician She Has
Given Up All Active Part i'm the
Work i'm Which She Is So
Deeply Interested.

Miss Helen Gould, in obedience to
orders from her physician, has given
up all charitable work for the pres
ent. She is not i'll, but the strain of
the work in which she has been en-
gagged has proved too much and she
is far from we'll Miss Gould has been
ordered to take good rest, and that
is what she will do. AS much of her
imperative work as possible will be
delegated to her secretary and the
rest to officers and institutions in
which she is interested. Miss Gould
was out driving the other day and an
attendant said that she was little
better.
''Miss Gould is not ill, but she has
been far from well for the last two
or three months and her physician
has advised her to give up her work for
a time until she regains her strength .
said DR.. Mum. DR.. Mum, who has
been the Gould family physician for
many years, has seen Miss Gould pro-
fessionally very often of late.
For years Miss Gould has devoted
herself to good works. When the
war with Spain was on no one worked
harder for the soldiers both in the
field and coming home than did this
heiress to many millions. Her friends
begged her to go a bit slow, but she
only laughed. She stayed in town dur
ing the summer of 1898 and did not
allow herself to go farther away than
her country place, Irving-on-the-Hud-
son, The next year she was working
harder than ever on other charities.
She refused to take any extended va
cation.
F.. Not long ago Miss Gould tried to get
rest by taking a trip through the
United States in private car, but so
many were the demands on her time
everywhere that as vacation the trip
amounted to nothing.
Keeping up with the work of a dozen
charities has been the cause of the
breakdown. What her malady is DR..
Mum will not say, but it is believed
to be nervous prostration. She is not
criticilly i'll, but it will take long rest
to bring her around so that she may
once more take up her self-imposed
tasks,

ARIZONA'S PINE TRACT.
Covers an Area of 5000 Square Miles
the Largest Unbroken Forest
Reserve In United States.

Arizona has the largest unbroken
pine forest reserve in the United
States, covering an area of over 5000
square miles. The total quantity of
pine timber suitable for saving pur-
poses within the boundaries of the
territory amounts to 10,OOO,OOO,O 900
feet, which is enough to supply the
needs of a thickly populated state for
more than a century.
The principal forest area is in Co
conino county, and borders the Grand
canyon of the Colorado, although Gila,
Apache and Yavapia counties have
considerable timber.
In New Mexico there are two enor-
nous forest reserves, one on the
Pecos river, in the northern part of
the territory, the other on the Gila
river, in the southwestern section,
comprising 3,701, ,04O This domain is
as large as the states of Rhode Island,
Delaware, and one-half of Connecticut
combined

SEES DANGER AHEAD.
Bishop Lawrence Raises Warning
Voice Against Gambling Craze.
Declares That Instead of Dwelling ON
Excesses of Stock Market We
Should Examine Ourselves to
Discover Same Vice in Us.

One has only to listen to the shouts
in the stock market during the past
few weeks" said Bishop Lawrence, in
his annual address to the Massachu-
setts diocesan convention of the
Protestant Episcopal church at Bos-
ton the other day, ''to be impressed
with the danger in which our young
men and women, our boys and girls
stand from the temptation to gamble,
to get something for nothing, to try
to make money fast, to hazard what
is Of value simply for the pleasure OF
the hazard.
I am not drawing fine distinctions,
much less am I making the stock
market the scapegoat for an increas-
ing popular danger and vice.
Vicious gambling, which catches
the popular eye, is but the symptom Of
spirit pervading the community, that
of an unreadiness to work steadily for
the legitimate reward of labor, an un-
rest at the moderate and fair returns
OF capital, making haste to get rich,
keen love of the sport of over
ASSpShAllS dAoeuGI, ldSCl1d llOu Ill llp-
ing by ones wits instead of by ones
sober thoughts and careful work.
Two generations ago playing cards
was forbidden, because it was asso-
ciated with gambling. Then the cards
were brought forth from their hid
ing places and given place in the in
nocent amusements of the home. To-
day they are returning to their old
calling as the instrument of gambling
There are men and women, worshipers
in our churches, some even commune
cants, who waste the daylight and con-
centrate all their thought and nerve
upon the game-and the game is not
complete without some stake, small
or large.
what will you give for the future
of the boy whose pin money is the gain
of his fathers game at the club?
"The point I want to make is that
instead of dwelling on the excesses of
the stock market or criticising the po-
lice for not suppressing the worst
forms of gambling, we should look
to ourselves and discover the symp-
toms of the same vice in u.s.

WANT DEEP-WATER CANAL.
Work Of Making Lake Cities Atlantic
Ports Shows Need of Canal
Through United States,

The work of Transforming the lake
cities into Atlantic ports has been
resolutely taken up by the North
western Steamship company of Chi
cago, which has constructed four sis
ter ships 255 feet long to ply regu-
larly between Chicago and European
ports. These vessels, named, respect
ively, the Northwestern, the North
eastern, the Northman and the
Northtown, sail from Chicago for
Hamburg, Liverpool and London.
loaded with machinery, canned and
boxed meats, lard and other products
OF the great manufacturing section
fronting upon our inland seas.
The Northwestern sailed from Chi
cago some time ago, and is now well
on her way to Europe.
These ships, according to letter
received by the treasury bureau of
statistics from the manager of the
company, are of the lake type of con-
struction, but built with a special
view to combination of lake and
ocean traffic, AMI are supplied with
special facilities for rapid loading and
unloading.
They pass necessarily through the
Canadian canals, the Welland and st.
Lawrence, to the head of deep-water
navigation at Montreal, and will in
their trip traverse 73 miles of canals
and pass through 46 locks, depending
on their own propelling power
throughout the entire voyage. It is
estimated that the time occupied be-
tween Buffalo and Montreal, between
which the canal system extends, will
be about three days.
Communications to the bureau of
statistics from lake cities and ports
express the hope that this enterprise
may result in serious consideration
of the proposition to construct en-
tirely within the United States a
deep-water canal connecting the lakes
with the Atlantic. The present depth
OF the Welland canal is IA feet and
the depth of most of the harbors on
the lakes is 20 feet, and it is evident
that those desiring to see the cities
located upon the great lakes made in
fact Atlantic ports and connected by
direct steamship lines with the great
seaboard cities of the world will de-
sire at least an American canal with
depth equal to that of the great
lake harbors, viz, 20 feet.

Practical Military Training.

The instructions recently issued by
the commander in chief in regard to
the annual training of the British
yeomanry regiments show, says the
Baltimore Sun, how deeply the Boe1
lesson has struck home. Ceremonial
parades, sword and rife exercises
will not, says the memorandum, .sbe

to go with prompt accuracy through
the manual of arms, march beauti
fully and go through the complicated
evolutions was. the alpha and omega
of military drill, but now the prac
tical work of a campaign gets most
attention.

RIDES A cow TO SADDLE.
Farmer of Salem, N. j., Says His Queer
Mount Is Satisfactory and Not
Slow, Either.

George S. Mansfield, wealthy
farmer and dairyman of Salem Cen
ter, n. Y, owns one of the finest herds
of Jersey cows in that rich agricul-
tural district. He rode into Danbury.
Conn, the other morning. His mount
was one of his cows. He pulled up in
front of the Kenmore hotel and left
the cow at the curb, where, though un-
hitched. it stood quietly. 'sI've beer
riding around on it all spring in pref
erence to horse, explained Mans
field to Manager Walsh, of the hotel.
.sI came over from Salem, nine miles,
in less than an hour"
When he remounted the COW trotted
off briskly, shying at a passing trolley
car like proper saddle animal.
8 Crowds gathered to watch the strange
sight, but neither Mansfield nor the
COW Needed the attention they at
tracted.

NEW STYLE PENMANsHIP.
Schools at New York to Adopt Com.
promise Between the Vertical
and the Spencerian Slant,

It has been decided to abandon the
so-called vertical system of penman-
ship that has been taught recently in
the public schools of New York CITY
and to adopt a system which is a
compromise between the vertical and
the spencerian slant. Opinions OF
business men who employ clerks
from the public school graduates
have bad weight in deciding upon the
change of system. While all ere not
agreed on this point, it. seems to be
the general opinion that the vertical
system was slow and had other OBJ
jectionable features.

ADDS TO VALUE OF STAMPS.
sition Series Makes Them Much
Sought After by PhiIatelists.

Two-cent stamps (Bufalo exposi-
tion series) worth considerably more
than their face value may be the se-
quel to a blunder said to have been
made by the bureau of printing and
engraving at Washington. These
stamps are in two colors, being the
first of that kind issued since 1869,
and, according to philatelists, any
thing odd about them Immediately en-
hances their value.
1t is said that one sheet, containing
100 stamps, was reversed before be-
ing run off, thus causing the Empire
State express to be printed inverted
within the red border. They are like
ly to become known as the train up
side down stamps" and as there are
only 100 of them in existence collect
ors already are looking out for them.
The sheet was not noticed by the
authorities at Washington, and the
story goes that it was sent in the or
dinary course of business to Brooklyn,
where it was placed on sale. A manu-
featuring firm bought ten Of the
stamps, and, instead Of recognizing
their value, wrote to the department.
at Washington complaining Of them,
using one of the stamps in transmit
ting its letter of protest.
Thus the fact came out, and an en-
terprising philatelist at the capital
at once set about trying to secure as
many of them as possible. He secured
four by paying a Brooklyn man $40
each for them. A stamp and coin
company is also said to have secured
two of the stamps.

A Baltimore preacher says saloon
keeping ''is as good and honorable as
