IT WAS wise observation of Emperor William g
the other day, that Captain Hemphill is good Off
Ger because she does not have to ask other people
in answering questions" pertaining to his ship. It
sums up in few words the requirements of the man
who is to be leader in any field of endeavor-he
must know his business in all its details
This is often said to be age Of specialists and
it is undoubtedly true that the man who knows one
branch of business thoroughly is better equipped
than the who possesses but general and super
fetal knowledge of many departments; but the only
man who is competent to direct the enterprise a
whole is he who has mastered it in all its branches
This is as true of railroadng the dry goods bust
ness as it is of commanding ship In every bust
ness and profession, the one who has mastered the
details is the logical person to place at the helm to
direct the enterprise
It is impossible for man to be independent if
he has to rely somebody else to help him answer
questions about his business. Inasmuch as he is
dependent on another, he is sort of servant. It
is good thing to employ specialists, to hire the
best men money procure to do your work; but if
you want to be independent to be the master in fact
we'll as in name, you must be- in the words of
Emperor William "a captain who understands his
ship"

eyes until today, when copy of

It seems to have improved in every
way since | last saw it, and in its
columns there are unmistakable
evidence that the little Mother"
Mrs. Maud Darlington Booth, is
striving as hard as ever to do all :
in her power for the welfare of
humanity; and it is doubtful If
there is another woman in all the
world who is more earnest, sincere
and who is doing as much for UNI
fortunate men and woman.
Whatever our beliefs or isms,
Mrs. Booth possesses such a mag
netic personality and eloquenoe
that she captivates wherever seen
or heard. Probably her greatest
efforts are in the interest of the In
mates Of the many prisons through
out the land and to these men and
women she has become known as
the Little Mother, altho she is 8
young woman. Mrs. Booths in
terests are largely centered also in
Hope Hall, a New York institution
founded by the Volunteers of
America few years ago. Hope
Hall is charitable home for men
and women who are homeless and
in need of assistance, a home for
discharged prisoners who will avail
themselves of the opportunity to
make new start with the aid and
encouragement of kind, sympa-
thetic people who will assist them
gratuitously to form new and bet
ter associations and find honest
employment. Mrs. Booth fondly
speaks of the successful men who
have been aided by Hope Hall, as
graduates Following are a few
extracts from an address recently
delivered by Mrs. Booth at the

Sing Sing prison, N. T., and pub
lished in the Volunteers Gazette:

told that what we had planted We.
should never be able to reap. But
today the prophecies of failure arc
hurled back. Time has proved
our work and we can abide by it.
I trust the boys because I can
rely upon them. They have proved
it in the past. We can now go to
our store of experience. It is seven
years old. Many of the criticisms
have been hurled back, but a great
er day is coming-a day is coming
ten or twenty years hence, when
those who compose this army, tho
men within the walls of the state
prisons, by their earnestness, by
faithfnlness will carry away tho
past criticisms of their sincerity In
the greatness of their efforts and
the number of their friends. Tho
time is coming in this organize
ton when men will know that OPP
portunities for these men cannot
be held back by any records Of the
prison, by records of the past, by
records of circumstances, or by
records of parentage.

ST. LOUIS GETS THE GAMES
Olympian Contests of 1904 Will Be
Held in the Mound
~. City.

'"Evefything settled, you have Olympic
games" is the wording of cablegram
received yesterday from Michael La
Grave worlds fair commissioner at Paris,
France by the Louisiana Purchase Expo
sition officials.
The meaning of the cabegram is that
the Olympic games, which were original
ly intended to be held at Chicago in 1904,
will be held at ST. Louis during the world s
fair, the International committee having
now so decided.
Yesterdays decision is doubly suspicious
in that it brings both the important con-
;clusions at once. The worlds fair officials
state that a gratifying feature Of the situ-
alton has been the attitude of the Chi
cago committee, which has manifested
the utmost friendship toward st. Louis in
the undertaking.
President Walter B. Liginger, Of the
Amateur Athletic union announce the
appointments of the following Amateur
Athletic union officials in connection with
the games: -.

BUBBLE HAS BURST
r, J. Arnold Company of St. Louis
Declared Insolvent by Assis-
tant Manager.
Arnold Still Protests That He Will
Pay in Full-0ther Firms
Go Under.

The bubble of turf investment burst
yesterday when the E. j. Arnold COM
panys assistant manager announced to
throng Of several hundred investors in
st. Louis that the firm was insolvent and
that the payment OF weekly dividends. as
well of stock certificates had been
discontinued. The checks sent out by the
company in payment Of the dividends due
Monday were dishonored by the banks and
trust companies on which they were
drawn, and the excited men and women
who hurried to the companys handsome
offices for explanations were told plain
ly enough that there was no money forth
coming and that their only hope was to
await final, settlement Of the company's
business. .......
Several investors secured legal counsel
and filed proceedings in Voluntary bank
,ruptcy in the federal court. Applications
for receivership may be made. E. j.
Arnold was expected here yesterday but
ANNOUNCED through his manager that he
had determined to remain in Hot Springs
for the present. In telegram last night
Arnold emphaticany denied the charge
printed In afternoon paper at st. Louis
yesterday, that he, Arnold, was. none other
than the noted Arkansas gambler Jim
Davis, whose picture adorns the Rogues
Gallery, and who is known to the police
the country over. Arnold asserts that he
is "'square' and that all he desires is a
the people who trusted him. It is gener-
ally believed that his liabilities, notwith-
standing his assertions to the contrary,
are in excess of $1,O00,00O and that his
assets will hardly aggregate 100000. 1t
was learned yesterday that he called IN
his force of 1855 solicitors in the United
States and Canada over week ago.

pany suspended business yesterday, being
Unable to meet or check the run Of excited
depositors. The international Investment
company continued to meet all demands
with cash payments. The John J. Ryan
company permitted stockholders TO file
notices of withdrawal which, it is claimed,
will be honored in thirty days.
Arnold's representatives yesterday dwelt
upon the fact that investors are partners
in the concern, and that they must suffer
their pro-rata Of loss with the managers.
The investors did not understand this
when they gave their money to the con-
Germ. They declare they were led to be-
lieve their money was merely on deposit
as in bank, subject to withdrawal on
demand.

ence of the Missouri senate has reported
