Former Steel Trust President Would
Establish Schools for De-
formed Children.

Charles NJ. Schwab, ex-president OF
the United States steel trust, while
spending Il short vacation ut his sum-
mer home in Loretto, Pa, told recent
" how he is going to dispose of his
wealth, says the New York Herald.
He thinks there is mo essential
credit in dying wealthy" and said he
was not qualified to talk about philan-
thropy, but was willing to tell how
he expects to part with his fortune.
"You see," he went on lit is hard
er thing to spend money than most
folks imagine-that is. to spend it in
the right way. Industrial schools are
my hobby-not only industrial schools
for boys and girls of sound body, but
where the cripples and deformed chill
dren may learn some useful occupa-
ton.
Il have observed during my connec-
ton with the steel industry that the
tendency nowadays is for young men
to have an ambition to get out of man.
ual labOr-wOrk with the handS-and
become engineers, electricians and pro-
fessionaI men. The crying need of to-
day is that young men be taught some
useful work to do with their hands.

Industrial training will be taught in
every public school. The state will
take it up. l am strong believer in

Boys and girls who go to school are
taught nothing but books, books, books.
They don't get the opportunity to learn
how to do things with their hands
that which will be of practical value
to them in earning Il competence.
"Our most useful men are not the
ones with the most intellectual train
ing, but those who know how to do
something or some kind of work with
their hands.
"Our best educated men are those
who started, after going through
school. to educate themselves. When
we combine education with Il knowl-
edge and desire to do manual labor.
we have the elements of success.

did you? We did that very quietly.
Our object was to teach crippled and
deformed boys and girls useful Occu-
pations But the storm of public crit
icism got so severe that we have de-
cided not to do anything more just
now. Well start again some day.
"Now, it's along these lines that we
are going to spend our money, for
manual training schools-that is, when
we get some to spend. What little we
have done in the philanthrOpic line has
been so bitterly attacked that we are
not going to do anything more just

to that office his figure might again
loom large among those mentioned for
the presidency in the campaigns of the
near future.
Daniel Scott Lamont was born at
McGrawVille, near COrtlandville, y. Y,
Feb. 3, 1851. He went to the village
school, attended the Central academy
and in due time entered the class Of
10 at Union college, Schenectady, n.
y. In the endeavOr to support himself
while at college he wrote 10 the gov
ernOr of the state asking his aid in OBJ
tanning employment in the service Of
the legislature. Something in the ap-
peal of the college lad enlisted the in
terest of the governor, with the result
that young Lamont was given a posi-
ton as an engroSsing clerk. That was
the beginning of his political career.
His association with the legislature
eventually brought him into the serv-
ice of Samuel J. Tilden, of Daniel Man
ming and of Grover Cleveland. For
several years he was clerk of the state

committee OF his party, ana ASIAN et1l-
torial writer on the Albany Argus he
showed that he could WELD q trenchant
pen. These positions gave him a thor
ough acquaintance with the politics
and politicians OF the state, an ac-
Quaintance that made him Of great
value to Governor Cleveland as prt-
vate secretary. When the voice of the
people called Mr.. Cleveland to the ma
tional capital Dan Lamont was pro-
NOTED from private secretary to the
governor to private secretary to the
president. After Mr.. Clevelands de-
feat for reelection in 1855 Lamont,
like the president, retired to private
life. and in four years time, through
association with New York street rail-
way interests. had become man of
wealth and financial influence. Mr..
Cleveland, on becoming president
again, once more called him to Wash
ington. not this time to be his private
secretary. but to be his secretary of
war. On the close Of Mr.. Cleveland'S
second administration Colonel Lamont
again devoted himself to business and
now is leading factor in the railroad
world. being vice president of the
Northern Pacific Railway company.
Mr.. Lamont married. in 1876. Miss Jul
liet Kinney. n playmate from child
hood. and has several children.
Mr. Lamont is a short man and used
to be quite frafl. but of late years he
has taken on more flesh, so that he is
now more impressive figure than
when he was familiar to the public as
President Cleveland's secretary.

oysters are just oysters-fresh, medi-

TOM MASON, HUMORIST.
He Is the Father of the Summer
GirI-His New Book.

He Is the Father of the Summer
GirI-His New Book.
The summer girl is so much Of an in
stitution now that it will be of interest
to know that the first verses that were
printed about her were written some
fifteen years ago by Tom Mason, who
has included them in the characteristic
collection of verse, In Merry Meas
ure," just issued.
81 wrote the verses one February"
said Mr.. Mason, during Il binding
snowstOrm, and the only thing 1 could
think of was The Summer Girl" The
poem was widely copied, and the
phrase thereafter became n part of
current speech.
Mr.. Mason was born in Essex,
Conn, in 1866. His father was one of
the best known old time sea captains
in the United States, and Mr.. Mason
went to sea when he was nine months
old. He has been the managing and
literary editor of Life for the past ten
years, his writings for that paper and
other magazines having become uni
versally known. He is n versatile
genius, and his poems cover such a
range of subjects, varying in form
from the quatrain to a cOmedietta sat
irizing society, that one finds plenty
of variety in In Merry Measure" The
illustrations are by c. d. Gibson, Allan
Gilbert and other well known artists.
Mr.. Mason is resident of Glen
Ridge, n. ]. My family" he once re-
marked, Consists of three children,
three dogs, three servants and only
one wife"
Mrs. Mason was Miss Fannie Zu-
lette Goodrich, and her marriage to
the poet took place in Hartford, Conn,
Oct. "a, 1898.
Much of Mr.. Masson's verse has 4
most happy commingling of philoso-
ply, sentiment and humor. In. illus

ments are being conducted is guarded
with care, but Mr.. Holland allows it to
be known that the wings he expects TO
put ON the market will be from ten TO
fifteen feet long and will be adjusted
to the shoulders and hips. Both feet
and hands will be used in working the
apparatus which is to operate the
wings. This apparatus, which is to be
of steel wire, leather and some hard
but light metal like aluminium, will
weigh less than twenty-five pounds. 1t
has not yet been decided of what mate
rial the wings themselves shall be con-
structed. AS they are to be built for
individuals. of course they will need to
be Of different sizes and also of differ
ent styles, for the woman of society,
when she flies off on a shopping tour or
to make a few afternoon calls, will
want wings to match her costume,
while the workingman who sails back
and forth between home and shop will
care more about the durability than
the appearance Of his wings. Doubt
less only the more venturesome will
undertake to fly at first, but as the pub
lie becomes accustomed TO the idea ev-
cry one will learn until no more dan
ger will be associated with flying than
is now associated with bicycle riding or
automobiling. Even young children
will have cute little pairs of wings and
will fly away from the paternal roof
like merry larks. 1t will be useless to
try to keep them penned up in the door
yard then. This is all, of course, ac-
cording to the Holland idea.
For the start in ones aerial journey,
the inventor says, it will be necessary
to jump from some height, so as to
gain momentum. Nobody need fear a
fall, for even if the apparatus should
fail to work the person with the wings
would not drop suddenly to earth, but
would descend gradually and thus be
able to alight in safety. The inventor
advises choosing a ''skyscraper' or
public park or q field in which to alight,
as the person soaring in the air must
come to earth at an angle rather than
straight downward The objection to
alighting with a pair of fifteen foot
wings in a street crowded with trolley
cars and automobiles is obvious.
Mr.. Holland once said that it took
him twenty-three years to educate the
United States government up to the
idea of using submarine boats, so he
will not be discouraged if his new in
ventiOn is received with incredulity by
the general public. Mr.. Hollands first
submarine boat was exhibited in New
York harbor in 1879. The company
which now makes the Holland type of
submarine boats is capitalized ut ST.
-,
nected with the company, but is eX-
perimenting with a new submarine
boat which he believes will be a great
er wonder than that with which the
public has now become familiar.
AS for flying, he expects ere long to
pass some of the pleasantest days of
his life sailing through space at the
rate Of fifty miles an hour.

people flying about on business or
pleasure He thinks he has found the
secret of flying and will soon be able
to put a style of wing on the market
that will exactly meet the popular de-
mand.
There is a difference between In
ventor Holland and Daedalus, Icarus
and their modern imitators who have
essayed to navigate the air, as Virgil
put it, ION wings not given TO men"
These men have as a rule been vision
aries who had no record of perform
ance behind them. Mr.. Holland has
made startling promises before, but he
has kept his word. He promised to
build boats that would navigate the
sea beneath the waves and did it. The
remarkable performances of the sub
marine boats built on the Holland plan
are we'll known.
From navigation of the depths of the
sea to soaring on wings above the
clouds is far cry, yet it may be that
the same mind which solved the one
problem can solve the other. OF course
Mr.. Holland will not divulge the secret
of making wings which will fly. The
