The Human Dynamo.

And so Charles NJ. Schwab, the presi-
dent of the great steel trust, the high
est salaried man in the world, the hui
man dynamo, is to retire indefinitely
from his position and go abroad for his
health. All the millions that he mas
amassed in the few years that nave
elapsed since Andrew Carnegie picked
him out from the number of his work
men and helped him to the front, can
not give him the boon of health. He Is
still young man, only 40, but he is
broken down in body and mind,
pitiful wreck of splendid manhood. we
have read of his wonderful capacity
for work. his tireless devotion to bust
ness. his superb administrative ability,
his mastery of every detail of the
steel business, and now at 40 he gives
ND. and the doctors will fight to save
his life and reason. He has been
pointed out to our youth as an ex-
ample of the possibilities before the
moor American boy who is honest,
energetic and ambitious in his work
and now, when there ought to be more
wears of active, useful manhood ahead
of him than there are behind him, his
hand falters, his brain reels and he
stads helpless in the dark. The pace
has been too fast, the pressure too high,
the strain too great; nature rebels and
the inevitable collapse has come.
There are limits TO this human
dynamo business, and Charles Nj.
Schwab has plainly reached them. 1t
is better to wear out in service than to
rust out in inactivity, but it is the
part Of folly to try to force the ma
chine to do ten times more work than
its builder ever meant it should do.
others than Mr.. Schwab have learned
this lesson in the past and others are
learning it, today. And many others
still. failing to profit by their expert
ence. and spurred by the growing
strenuOusness of the times, will learn
it in the future. The disease from
which Mr.. Schwab is suffering, what
ever the doctors may call it, is one of
the great American evils. 1t is the re-
suit of the mad struggle for wealth and
position a struggle in which there is
no time for vacations or leisure or the
enjoyment of the aesthetic in life;
in which every energy of body
and mind is overtaxed so that when
the goal is won, if it is won at all. the
wreath of victory is usually placed
upon a new made grave or upon the
bent head of man who would gladly
exchange it, but cannot, for day of
health or some of the priceless treas
ures which youth freely offered but
which he would not stop to take. The
lesson is an old one, but it was never
taught more frequently or with more
force than at this time in our country.
When God makes a man human
dynamo it is for some better purpose
than to break down at 40.

We have lived with the murmurlhs

We have heard the love talk of the birds,
And the whisper of the breeze.
We have rocked on the Laughing wave,
Where the breaker tossed its foam;
Now we turn again as the bright days
Wane
To the happy hours Of home.
For not on the mountain top,
Nor III the softest vale,
NOT where the canvas fills and strains
To the boisterous SUNNI gale
Not in the secret wood,
Though the restless heart may roam
The world around. can joy be found
Like the joy OF love and home

Washington, Aug. A-Minister Bowen
has cabled the state department from
Caracas that our consul at Barcelona has
informed him by wire that Barcelona has
been taken by the revolutlonists; that
they are sacking the town, and that in
his judgment the protection of a vessel
should be Immediately accorded him.
Minister Bowen says he has cabled the
Cincinnati to return without delay. He
notes that the Topeka is at Porto Ca
bello and the Marietta up the Ornoco
river.
After q conference between the state
and navy department officials in regard
to Minister Bowen's dispatch, the follow
ing instructions to the commander of the
Topeka at Porto Cabella were prepared:
"vessel is needed Immediately at Bar
celona. If you sail before the Cincinnati
arrives from Curacao, leave for her the
instructions cabled you yesterday"
Before the instructions were sent the
Cincinnati reported her arrival at Porto
Cabello, whereupon the Instructions were
modified SO as to direct that one of tho
ships rrU ceed Immediately to Barcelona
This leaves it discretionary with Captar
Mclean of the Cincinnati, the senior Of
ficer present, to send the Topeka oI
go himself with the Cincinnati. The yes
| sci which remains will be prepared t.
land bluejackets at Porto Cabello in cas-,
| of necessity.

Peoria, ILL.,. Aug. 11.-What is believed
to be an attempt to burn Peoria's business
section was made about noon Monday.
At o'clock Neumillers livery barn and
81 horses were destroyed, Clarke's roller
mills were burning and other fires were
raging at different points. The losses so
far include:
Horace Clarke & Sons mills, $4,000;
O'Leary undertaking establishment, IS,
600. The Neumiller Livery company's q
barn, in block GOO Adams street. was
fired by an incendiary. Twenty horses
were suffocated, and the entire stock Of
carriages was destroyed. The OLeary
undertaking establishment and contents
are a total loss. The Neumiller barns are
in thickly built up section of the city
and it is feared the flames will spread t.
adjoining buildings.
| Previous to this fire an attempt was
made to fire the store rooms and Offices
of the Val Blatz Brewing company. a few
blocks away. A residence was fred earl,
this morning. While the Neumiller fir.
was raging the torch was applied to thu
roller mills of Horace Clarke & Son, q
few blocks away, and the entire plan
was wiped out. The police think the,
have arrested the firebug.
