the Company's service. Again, - the
Young man who came to this country
over thirty years ago, penniless and
friendless, and who during the first two
years, earned only 5000, working beside
a tank foul with the smell of oil but
to-day, there is scarcely a drop of oil
consumed in this country which has not
been purchased from his stupendous
organization, the Standard Oil Company.
IN another walk Of life, we see at the
head Of a great college, a man who
chopped wood to pay his way through
school.
The great captains of industry Of to-
day were the poor boys Of thirty years
ago. 1t was not a wealthy parent nor an
influential friend who started these men
on the road to fortune; they made their
own opportunities they fought their own
battles; they have won.
What is the secret of their success
What is that irresistible force which has
enabled them to overcome all obstacles,
to surpass their fellow-menp Every am
bilious young man is searching for this
secret. He believes that honesty, so
briefly, perseverance, and determination
are esssntials in the foundation on which
to build a successful career, and vet he
realizes that he must possess something
more than these mere prerequisites if he
would achieve conspicuous success.
Those who have studied the lives Of
successful men will tell you that they all
possessed a certain force of character

RECOMMENDATION APPROVED.
Commissioner Vests Comment on a
Printing Bill.

Relative to the request for payment of a
bill for Sl3o.SS presented by Mr.. Thomas
Cadick. manager of the Globe Printing
Company. for printing blank forms for ma
chine cleaning schedules. and the report
from Property Clerk Beckett that the bill be
settled. the District was clearly obligat-
ed therefor. Commissioner West yesterday
noted the papers and stated:
The statemen. OF the property clerk and
the superintendent of property that the
District is obligated to pay this bill of the
Globe Printing Company because the con-
tractor followed the directions of the prop
erty clerk makes 1t incumbent upon me to
approve this bill. 1t is great pity that
the evident exorbitant price for doing this
work was not discovered in previous years
and heartily approve the recommendation
that in the future this particular class Of
printing be advertised a special item, so
that more reasonable prices can be OBJ
tanned.
Six sets of schedules printed yearly
but In four of the six there are but slight
changes. The price this year was based
upon entirely new composition for each
form.

BARS EJEcTMENT PROCEEDINGS
Effect of Injunction Issued Against
Marshal Palmer.

1t is learned that the injunction issued
by Justice Gould yesterday afternoon upon
proceedings instituted by the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal Company against the
United States marshal will operate to
prevent the ejectment. the 10th of this
month. of any Of the alleged squatters
from the strip of land bordering on Rock
creek.
The disputed territory Is at the western
end of Virginia avenue between 1 and X
streets. and last Tuesday, In accordance
with an order from the Secretary of War,
Marshal Rultck Palmer served notice on
the parties occupying the land in contro-
versy that they must either vacate the
premises by the 10th instant or else they
would be elected therefrom.
While the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
Company through Its trustees Is the only
party named in the petition for injunction
presented yesterday, yet it is stated that
the restraining order will operate as an
effectual legal bar to the eviction of the
other parties, who are also alleged to be in
unlawful occupation of the territory in con-
troversy. for the reason that the canal COM
pany claims ownership of the entire tract of
land in question and 1t would be consid-
cred violation of the order of the court for
the authorities to interfere with the posses
sion of any part Of the land until the matter
is decided.
The hearing of the canal company's con-
tention will be held the 18th of September,
and upon the issue of the case. 1t is stated,
will depend further ejectment proceedings
against the alleged squatters.
In addition to the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal Company. the government alleges
that the following parties are In unlawful
occupation of the land mentioned: The
Barber Asphalt Paving Company, the Co
lumbia National Sand Dredging Company,
Knott & Moler. John Shore. Mary Hughes
and John B. Lord Several suits for posses
sion of the land. begun several years ago
by the canal company against some of the
alleged sQuatters mentioned. are still pend

NOT A DEDICATION.
Use of Ground for Sidewalk Does Not
Change Title

Mrs. C. F. Smith of 1880 Mintwood place
asked the Commissioners recently whether
the continued of the sidewalk on the
north side of Mintwood place. north of the
Columbia road. by the public would
stitute a dedication of that portion of the
land covered by the sidewalk within the
building line. The matter was referred by
the Commissioners to the corpora ton coun-
sci for his opinion. which was yesterday
forwarded to the Commissioners.
1T appears" says Corporation Counsel
Duvall. that in 1890 brick sidewalk was
laid on Mntwood place under the permit
system. and that two and one-half feet OF
the pavement on the sidewalk SO laid was
on private property, and that recently the
present owners of the land have put fences
upon the building line. thereby Enclosing
so much of the sidewalk as was laid on pr
vate property.
II am of the opinion that the LAYING OF
the sidewalk under such circumstances.

by the public since 1890. does not constitute
such dedication of that portion OF the
land covered by the sidewalk as IL dtvest

MODIFICATION PROPOSED.
Commissioner Vests Suggestion Re-
gardinr Bill POSTING.

COMMISSIONS: Henry L. West will recon-
mend to his associates a modification of
the present law regarding bill posting and
the painting of signs throughout the city.
The rapidly increasing numbers of signs ap-
pearing here and there on the city walls
and fences have the sanction Of the ma jor-
ity of the residents in the neighborhood
Mr.. West believes the law should go fur
Their. He states:
AN examination of the law relating TO
signs indicates the willingness of Congress
to allow such signs or advertisements to be
placed on land. buildings. bill boards
fences or other structures. provided a ma
jority of the residents on the side of the
square in which said display is to be male.
and also the side of the confronting
square, give their assent thereto. In this
particular instance. in all others which
l have approved. the assent required by the
law has been given. .''''-@''
1T is true that the Commissioners are
given discretion in the matter. but under
all the circumstances of congressional sane
ton. it is question whether an applicants
to place sign ought to be arbitrarily de-
MED If the law has been compiled with.
THE rapid and notable increase of those
signs throughout the city Is. however q
matter for very serious consideration ard
1 am in favor of calling the attention Of
Congress to the matter in order to deter
mine whether there should not be a cur
tailment of the privilege now granted and
which is being abused to the detriment of
the appearance of the city" r'.t

IMPROVING CONDITIONS.
Effort Made to Remove Objections to
Play Grounds.

Mr. Cuno H.. Rudolph. chairman Of the
public play grounds committee. in a letter
to the Commissioners. has acknowledged
the receipt of a notification of complaint
made by Mrs. M. s.. Cooley of 1917 LIST street
northwest against the colored play grounds
at the corner of 1st and streets north
west
1T would seem unfortunate to abandon
this play ground Just now" says Mr.. Ru-
dolph, when the good results Of the efforts
OF the small force of workers to inculcate
ideas Of fairiniindedness and decorous be-
havior in these colored children, and cause
them to abandon the use of profanity, are
oaliy becoming more apparent to any reg
ular visitor on the grounds.
The committee will adopt the suggestion
OF the Commissioners and have the ap-
paratus moved to remote portion of the
grounds. The committee will soon have
the help of a colored minister Of the
-nelghborhood and of colored student in
managing the children, and feels sure that
with its forca of: supervisors thus aug
mented, and the change of apparatus ac-
compIshed, the good work can be car
ried on without offense to any one."
In report upon the matter Major Syl-
veSter stated yesterday: at is beyond the
power of the police department to inter-
fere with the occupancy of private prop
erty unless there be violations of the law:
such to constitute an offense would be in
the nature Of breaking the public peace,

or something frrline herewith"

PUSH CART MEN OFFEND.
Alleged That They Frequently Disre-
gard Local Law.

Merchants in the vicinity of 18th street and
Pennsylvania avenue northwest have COM
planned from time to time to the police
about the conduct of the push cart vendors
who occupy the curbstone space in front Of
their stores. The vendors. it is said, utterly
disregard the law and congregate in large
numbers with their carts in front of the
stores, where they remain. it is said, until
they see policeman.
The vendors are frequently arrested and
taken into the Police Court, where light
fine is imposed on them or they are per-
mitted to forfeit s. or So collateral, the
amount of money being so small that they
are willing to give 1t up for the privilege Of
having remained in prominent place
where they are able to increase sales.
Judge Kimball has on more than one oc-
casion announced his intention of imposing
heavy fines for such offenses. and has even
done so. and it has had the effect of keep
ing them on the move for few days.
Peter ChioS. James MangusaS and George
Cocaine were taken into custody yesterday
afternoon for violating the law near the
corner Of 7th street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. Each of the men left s. at the first

much improvement in that line as they
thought should have been given them. But
the result of Mr.. Burkett's visit here and
conference with officials of the Post Office
Department has made him believe that they
will be well taken care of In that direction
in the future.
There is great prosperity out in our

ting along well. No, there is no demand
among them for a revision of the tariff.
They feel well satisfied with the way things
are going now. They are waiting to see
how our latest trust legislation works out
before determining what should be done
next. or whether more legislation is needed
at all. They feel out there just as people
do everywhere. They do not want to be op-
pressed by the trusts. but they are not hos

are not clamoring against the trusts mere
ly for the sake of ciamoring."
