OFFICIAL CITY PAPER.
SECRET OF SUCCESS.

tsr 10 Kew. Newell DWlBHb hiiils,
one of New York City's great divines,
telling him how he made a success in
life. The life of Mr.. Simmons is an
inspiration to the young men of today.
Mr.. Simmons was born in Maryland
in 1889, but went to st. Louis in 1916
with his parents. When 16 years old
he completed his education i'll the
schools of that city and went to work
in large hardware store. Seven
years later Mr.. Simmons was a mem
Der of the firm. Two years later he
was at the head of the firm. In 1879
the firm was incorporated under the
name of the Simmons Hardware com
pany. This was the first incorpora-
tion of the kind in the United States.
Today this is the largest firm doing a
wholesale hardware business in the
country, over 500 men being employed.
So much of the business end.
Now as to the virtues that make
success in commercial life possible and
the faults and vices leading to failures.
Mr.. Simmons states in his letter
that honesty and truth in the most
minute matters are the first absolute
and essential ground work of every sue
cessful business career. To these must
be added many others that are i'll a
sense embraced in these two and yet
so separate that many think them en-
tirely different. Young men starting
out in commercial life should know at
the outset of their career that it is
utterly impossible to establish and
conduct any large business unless
founded on the strictest construction of
rigid honesty and absolute undeviat
ing truthfulness. Surround young
man with an atmosphere of honesty
and truth, where nothing less than
that is ever thought of, much less
uttered, and he is a stranger to any
thing dishonest or untruthful. Other
qualities necessary to success are
neatness, promptness, gentleness,
kindness, good nature and politeness,
act, Personal appearance, so far as
neatnesss is concerned, has much to
do with commercial success, and espec-
tally in getting place or getting "A
start Promptness is absolutely es-
sential to commercial success in every
obligation of life. Prompt to arise,
prompt to meals, prompt to your place
of business, prompt to reply to ques-
tions and prompt to do your duty,
whatever that may be. Last and not
least, it is of great Importance to be
polite. There is nothing next to
honesty and truth, that so contributes
to success as politeness. One cannot
be too polite. No one ever is, but
many people are polite enough.
Politeness is the cheapest and yet
often, the best capital in the world.
One can draw upon it in unlimited
Quantities. 1t pays large interest
and costs nothing. Every American
boy should try to be an improvement
on his father, "A better man if pos
sible by reason of advance educational
facilities
In closing his letter to DR.. Hills
Mr. Simmons stated that regarding
faults, they are just the reverse of the
virtues, for without neatness, prompt
ness, gentleness, kindness, good nature
and politeness. ones chances of success
in commercial life are slender.

THE WHITE MAN A DEMON.
Negro Preacher in Wilmington Calls
Dominant Race Monsters,

A dispatch from Wilmington, Del, last
night says: The Rev. Montrose w. Thorn
ton, colored, pastor of the First A. M. E.
Church of this city, preached sensational
sermon to his congregation tonight. The
church was crowded In expectation that the
Rev. Mr. Thornton would have something
to say on the events of the past week. He
said in part:
1.-The white man, in face of his boosted
civilization, stands before my eyes tonight
the demon of the worlds races a monster
incarnate; and in SO far as the negro race
white is heather, fiend, a monstrosity
before God, and is equal to any act in the
category of crime. 1 would sooner trust
myself In a den of hyenaS than in his arms
With court, law and officers of law In
his hands, the despised negro can expect
no mercy, justice or protection. The negro
is unsafe anywhere in this country. He is
the open prey at all times Of barbarians
who know no restraint and will not be re-
strained
There is but one part left for the perse-
cuted negro when charged with crime and
when innocent. Be law unto yourself
You are taught by this lesson of outrage
to save yourself from torture at the hands
of the blood-seeking public. Save your race
from insult and shame. Be your own sher-
IN, court and jury, as was the outlaw
Tracy. Die in your tracks, perhaps drink
ing the blood Of your pursuers. Booker T.
Washington's charity, humanity, advice of
forgiveness. love. industry. and so on, will
never be reciprocated by white men,

GARD1NER-RooT FIGHT.
Fierce Contest Promised When They
Meet at Fort Erie.

The twenty-round championship fight be-
tween George Gardiner of Lowell, Mass,
and Jack Root of Chicago, which Is to take
place next Saturday afternoon, July 4, In
the ring of the International Athletic Club
at Fort Erie, is exciting great deal OF in
terest among sporting men and that part OF
the public which follows the fortunes OF
the roped arena. Gardiner and Root are
light heavyweights, a new class, and are
conceded to be the best in that class. One
| hundred and sixty-five pounds at the ring
side is what the articles call for. The fight
is for a guaranteed purse of 1850 and a
s., COO diamond studded championship
medal The fighters also have the privilege
of dividing percentage of the receipts and
an interest in the moving pictures of the
fight.
George Gardiner, who will doubtless be a
slight favorite as sturdy 158-pound man,
and was born in County Clare Ireland, in
1870. He began fighting in 1892 and has
won thirtyfive contests, lost three and four
were draws He Is strong, clever and a
good ring general, and many have picked
him as the probable successor of Jeffries.
He has fought Root twice. losing once on a
foul and later knocking out Root in
seventeen rounds. His most notable VIC
tory recently was over Marvin Hart, the
Kentucky fighter, who was regarded as a
coming champion.

Danger Threatened From Argentina.

shipment of bulls for breeding purposes
which has recently gone from Indiana to
Argentina in South America developed foot
and mouth disease when 1t arrived at it's
destination. Nothing of this kind exists in
Indiana nor anywhere along the line of
travel to New York. from which port the
animals were shipped. The officials of the
Department of Agriculture believe the dis
ease was unauestionably contracted on
board vessel that has been bringing wool
from Argentina to the United States. The
department has reliable information that
the foot and mouth disease not only exists
now in Argentina. but has existed there for
a considerable time. Sheep are just as la
BILE to this disease as cattle. The question
presented to the department is whether 1t
win stop the importation of wool from Ar
gentina and such other countries as have
foot and mouth disease.
If exhaustive inquiry into the countries
from which hides come shows that we are
in grave danger Of getting foot and mouth
disease from these countries. one OF two
things will be imperative. the importation
must me stopped or that such disinfection
be had as will prevent the possibility Of our
getting this disease.

JUDGMENT FOR DEFENDANT.
Decision of Justice of the Peace in As
sistant Chief Sullivan's Case

The legal proceedings in connection with
the suit of John ]. Horrigan against Second
Assistant Chief Andrew ]. Sullivan of the
District fire department to recover the sum
of $50. alleged to have been paid as a re-
tainer by the complainant in an effort to
secure the promotion of Sullivan to the Of
flee of chief engineer of the department
upon the retirement of the incumbent Mr.
Robert W. Dutton, came to a close this
morning, when Mr.. Halbert e. Paine, jus
tice of the peace for the Georgetown dis
trict, rendered a decision in favor of the
defendant.
Arguments in the case were begun before
the justice of the peace last Monday, at
which time the matter was brought to the
attention of the District Commissioners.
The following morning Commissioner Mac
farland and Chief Engineer Dutton launch
ed an investigation of the matter, which Is
now in progress, and Assistant Chief Sulli-
van was asked to explain his alleged asser-
ton to the effect that he could not gain the
promotion on account of lack of influence.
The action of the Commissioners in the
premises has aroused considerable inter-
est among the residents of the District and
the decision of the justice has been anX-
iously awaited. in view of the fact that a
District official is involved. The Commits
sioners, II is understood, within the next
day or two, will receive from the corpora
ton counsel ruling as to whether or not
the present case is amenable under the
clause of the new code which makes II an
offense for any person to receive money or
property for obtaining. or attempting TO
obtain, an appointment or promotion under
the District government.
Owing to the absence from the city of
Commissioner mcfarland, 1t could not be
learned whether or not the decision of the
justice of the peace will be considered by
the municipal authorities as exoneratipg
Assistant Chief Sullivan of alleged miscon-
duct. Copies of the decision, which nils
four sheets of legal cap paper. were handed
to the attorneys in the case this morning,
and 1t is understood that a similar copy
will be submitted to Mr.. Mcfarland to-
morrow morning.

Commenting upon a communication from
DR.. Tarrasch to a Berlin paper in which
he expressed his disapproval of gambits.
the Westminster Gazette says: This Is
not surprising from a player who has
made his reputation on the Ruy Lopez and
close openings. Gambits or any other
spirited openings are not congenial to his
ponderous style"
F. ]. Lee, the English master, who went
to South Africa some three or four years
back and who there became chess cham
pion, has suddenly returned to England
for the same reason that he left-ill health.
The Boston Transcript says that Cham
pion Lasker considers the Ruy Lopez to oe
one of the most difficult of chess openings,
as we'll as one of the most fascinating. IF
you have black and your opponent plays
8 B-kt5 your best course is to offer him
draw" This was a bit of pleasantly.
Champion Lasker said. however. in all Sc
robustness, that whereas in almost any other
opening the second player may hope to
win, in Ruy Lopez it is good judgment to
hope for draw. The suggestion that the
chess world is waiting for man to begin
an exhaustive analysis of the Ruy Lopez
sufficiently early to complete it, he dis
missed with a deprecatory shrug. Il am
afraid" said the champion, 'he would have
to continue it to the hereafter"
