THE NEEDLE.
One OF the Most Ancient Implements
of Which We Have Record.

One of the Most Ancient Implements
of Which We Have Rcord.
The needle is one of the most ancient
implements or instruments Of which we
have any record. The old time needles
were unlike the modern luxury, they
having been made of wood, bronze.
bone, etc., and without eyes, circular
depression at the blunt end having been
so fashioned as to enable them to car
ry the thread. Pliny describes the nee
dies Of bronze which were used by the
ancient Greeks and Romans, and since
his day similar instruments have been
found in comparative abundance both
at Herculaneum and Pompeii.
The first account of the manufacture
of white iron" or steel needles, says
that they were made at Nuremberg in
1860, and while the exact date Is In
doubt they are said to have been made
in Britain as early as 1545. The ac-
count further adds that the first needles
manufactured in England were made
by Spanish Negro, who died without
having taught anyone his art.
During the reign of Elizabeth the in
dustry was revived, and strange to
say, also by a foreigner, a native of
India. The forerunner of the present
great Redditch needle manufactory
was established by Christopher Green
ing and a Mr.. Damer in 1850. Many un-
successful attempts were made to bring
out the drilled eye" needle before 1t
was finally introduced in 1926. Two
years later the FURNISHING machine" i"
with which the eyes Of needles are
highly polished, was completed. In this
machine, which is very simple, the nee
dies are all strung on a wire, which
revolves radidly thereby imparting a
beautiful finish to the eye.

most continually in the public eye.
First, he went to Monte Carlo. Extrav-
agant reports came back by cable Of
his winnings and losses at the gambling
table. There was widespread comment
upon these reports, and it was current
ly reported in Wall street-though SUBJ
seuuently denied-that j. P. Morgan &
Co., cabled to Mr.. Schwab inquiring In
,, to the truth Of the reports, and adVis-
ing no more gambling. The stories OF
the Monte Carlo winnings and losses
thereupon ceased.
When next heard Of Mr.. Schwab was
in Vienna. He was accorded a most
gracious reception by the emperor of
Austria, and it was reported that the
emperor wanted to see Mr.. Schwab
again: but found it impossible to ar
range it. Then the steel trust president
went to London, and King Edward and
he had a half hours talk, the details
of which were more or less fully re-
ported.
Another spectacular feat Of Mr..
Schwab was to purchase the lot at
Riverside drive, Seventy-third street
and west End evenue, formerly occu-
pied by an orphan asylum. In q recent
number of a New York weekly there
was picture Of this house, made from
architects designs. and it was evident
from the pictures that this was to be
the most gorgeous private residence In
America. The entire investment, house
and lot. was expected to amount to
about s5,OOO,OOO.
Since coming to New York to reside,
Mr.. Schwab has lived at the Waldorf
Astoria hotel. He has been frequently
seen in the dining room there, giving
elaborate dinners. He has also been
very much interested in automobiles
and has made several cross-country
trips at very hazardous rate of speed.
Mrs. Schwab was, before her mar
riage, Emma E. Dinkey, Of Loretto,
Pa. She and Mr.. Schwab were married
when he was q years of age. The two
were playmates when children. The
couple have done large amount Of en-
tertaining since their life centered in
New York. They are childless.
Mr.. Schwab was taken suddenly Ill
while driving at Atlantic city, where he
has a country residence, on July 26.
His condition then was such as to very
greatly alarm his family and friends.
After a day of complete rest he was
able to sit up but for several days he
was compelled to take his outdoor ex-
ercise in q roller chair.
This illness Of Mr.. Schwab, 1t was
currently reported gave premonitory
symptoms of prostration. There was
little need of medicine, and the doctors
prescribed complete rest. A week later
Mr. Schwab went to Pittsburg. Since
then there have been almost daily re-
ports that Mr.. Schwab was about to
retire.-New York Times.

CHARLES NJ. SCHWAB.
Spectacular Career of the Great
Steel MaEnate.

Spectacular Career of the Great
Steel Mngnate.
No career in American industrial life
has been more spectacular than that OF
Charles M. Schwab. Born amid very
humble surroundings, and self-educa-
ted. he was at the age Of 80 elected
president of the largest corporation In
the world-the United States Steel
Corporation-at salary generally un-
derstood to be s1,OOO,0OO year.
In the steel trust, Mr.. Schwab Is gen.
orally considered as the representative
of Andrew Carnegie, who holds prior
lien on the entire property Of the cor
poration in the s305, 100000 Of bonds paid
to him for his Carnegie Steel mills, of
which Mr.. Schwab was then president.
In fact, there has been a widespread
belief that one of the conditions at
tached to the sale of the Carnegie mills
was that Mr.. Schwab should become
the head of the combination to be
formed.
In dates and facts Mr.. Schwab's ca
reer may be very briefly summarized.
Born at Williamsburg, Pa, February
IS, 1862, of poor parents, he attended
small elementary school until he was 10
years of age, and then began clerking
in a grocery store at $3.50 week. At
IS he obtained work in the Edgar
Thompson steel WORKS at Braddock,
Pa, at 81 a day.
In 1887, at 25 years of age, Mr.
Schwab was chief engineer of the
works. He had built the Homestead
steel plant. He turned out of the Car
negie mills its first armor steel plate.
In 1889 he was made general superin-
tendent of the Thompson mills, and in
1892 he directed both the Thompson and
the Homestead mills. In 1893 he was
elected member of the board Of man.
ayers, and in 1897 president of the Car
negie steel mills. He drew a salary of
1000, with an interest in the amount
Of business done by the company. Then
followed the election to the steel trust
presidency in 1901, with the enormous
salary.
Since his election to the head of the
steel trust, Mr.. Schwab has been a
spectacular figure in both the social
and financial world. He has been very
liberal with his money and has spent
as we'll as given away large sums Of it.
One incident of his liberality occurred
last winter. A newspaper was raising
fund for certain relief purposes. Re-
porters from the paper were sent to So
licit subscriptions. One reporter was
assigned to see Mr.. Schwab. He very
reluctantly explained his mission to the
steel trust president. whereupon Mr..
Schwab promptly drew a roll of bills
from his pocket and handed the re-
porter $4,000.
Mr.. Schwab took trip to Europe last
winter, during which time he was al

his company would not be desired for
at least "a hours. I never saw him
again."
"And the little animals in the little
holes in the little hill, senator?" Mr..
Vest was asked.
"Polecats," replied the senator. "The
Englishman had read about quail liv-
ing in holes in the prairie hills and he
wouldn't change his mind when tried
to explain things to him. But. these
dogs of his certainly did get all the
scent they wanted-there was no mis-
take about that."-New York Sun.

SENATOR GRADY's RAT.-State Sena-
tor Grady is credited with a story
worthy to be ranked among the best
told Of the late William r. Travers, al
though the stammerer in this case was
another than the witty broker. His
stable was overrun with rats. and his
fondness for sport made him seek dog
fancier rather than a dealer in ferrets.
A fine looking rat terrier, for which
$50 was asked. was shown the stam-
merer who said he thought the animal
ought to be given a trial before he
made the purchase. The dealer agreed
to put his dog to any test. His own
back yard was named as the place,
and an hour appointed for trial the
following day. The stammerer arrived
with a huge sewer rat, which was
thrown on the ground as the dog was
released. The animals sprang at each
other. mixed things up for a second,
and then the rat got hold on the ter
rier's lower lip and hung on until the
latter howled with pain and began to
cover. Turning to the dealer the stam-
merer said:
L d-d-dont think m-much of your
d-d-dog. D-d-do you w-w-want to buy
m-my r-r-rat?"-Utica Observer.
