NOT ASHAMED OF HIS CAREER

Philip d. Armour began life poor
He succeeded because he had grit and
perseverance, All poor boys cannot
succeed as he did for they have not the
opportunity nor the brains, nor the
courage to dare to do at the right time
He saw there was money III milling
and pork packing If economically con
duc:ed So he set about to use the by
products of the mills and slaughter
pens. Bones, horns, hides, buttons,
glue and fertilizers, as we'll as pork,
canned meats, lard, ETC., were among
his interests. The extent of his enter
prises may be imagined by dwelling on
the fact that IN his establishment at
Chicago he, in 1897, employed II, 900
men, killed 1.75o,oOO hogs, 1850, 600
cattle and 625 sheep. His glue factory
alone employed $50 hands.
He died worth perhaps $25, 1000,
but was never ashamed that he had
earned 1t, nor of the way he had earned
it. He did not give himself airs. He
was in trade, he SAID, and was proud of
it. He was au American through and
through, and there was not an inch of
the snob about HIM.

HAZING.

A brother of Cadet John Breth, who
died, it is alleged by his family, from
treatment received at West point, test1-
fed before the congressional investi-
eating committee that
When John came home he told me
that he had to do so much 'eagling"
that he often became exhausted, and,
until his muscles felt like leather. A
cadet named Bender made him SIT on
the point of bayonet until he fell off.
He was made to sit on it again, and
during this operation Bender played a
violin. On another occaslon-a hot
July day-after p hard days drill, he
was compelled to don rain coat and
and hold out dumb bells. On Satur-
day all cadets were given a certain
amount of liberty, but Bender prevent
ed him from leaving camp. My brother
made complaint about it, which re-
suited IN Bender exercising him more
severely. He regarded the fleet in
| spection" as joke. One night he was
dragged out of bed, leaving the bed
clothes behind him, and was dragged
over rough stones in the company
street On another occasion he was so
exhausted that on the next morning
the officer in charge of the drill COM
PEELED him to drop out of line because
of his weakness.
Bis.h's sister testified that her brother
told her that one night he was hazed
by three separate sets of cadets. He
stood the first two, but tainted when
being put through by the last.
It is one thing to take the starch out
of new recruit and arother to bully
and cruelty torment him.
Senator Vests resolution providing
that any cadet found guilty of hazlng
shall be expelled from the academy and
not reappointed to the cadet corps is on
the right line.

Joseph Duff UnintentionalIy Causes
Death of Two Persons.


CHICAGO, Oct l6.-William joyce and
his wife, who had been married seven
months, were asphyxiated during the
night at the home of Mrs. Joyce's par.
ents in Brooklyn. Joseph Duff, brother
of Mrs. Joyce, believes he was the IN.
intentional cause OF the tragedy.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joyce, who lived in
Manhattan, had spent the evening at
the home of the Duffs' and were asked
to remain over night. They were given
the sleepingroom usually occupied by
Joseph Duff. who was away from home
during the evening.
When the young man went to his
room and lit the gas Joyce spoke to him
and explained the situation, whereupon
Joseph turned out the gas and went to
another apartment TO sleep. He thinks
that in his confusion at finding his room
occupied he may have turned on the gas
after the light had been extinguished.
There is absolutely no ground for suspi-
cion of suicide. The grief of young
Duff is overwhelming.
