LAKEWOOD, n. J., March 1S.-

at Lakewood hotel here today. He was
in high spirits and appeared to be
in good health.
81 have not felt so we'll in many a
day." said Mr.. Cleveland as he walked
in the lobby of the Lakewood hotel.
'Why, L took a longer walk today
than / have taken in months. l feel
fine. In fact, L believe L am in much
better physical condition than have
been for a long. long time"
Mr.. Cleveland started out in the
morning with a brisk stride. First he
went to his cottage, the White house.
took a long walk around the lake,
finally returning to his hotel.
Mr.. Cleveland has undoubtedly lost
great deal of flesh, but his medical
advisers say he is now in better health
than he has been for some months.
The former president has come here
to recuperate, and the length of his
stay depends entirely upon the con-
dition of his health.
How about the national questions
of the Democratic party?" Mr.. Cleve-
land was asked.
He made it plain that he did not
care to discuss political issues.
"I don't see what l can say that
will be of public interest" he said to
one of his friends.
From all parts of the country con-
gratulatory kilograms are coming in.
Hundreds of these have gone to Prince
ton, as their senders did not know of
his visit to Lakewood.

BIG STEAMERS CRASH;
HOLE CUT MLINER
Transatlantic Vessel Rammed During
Fog in New York Harbor.
Passengers Escape
Injury

By Associated Press
NEW YORK, March 1S.-While the
great transatlantic liner Kron Prinz
Wilhelm of the North German Lloyd
line lay at anchor in thick fog off
Staten island today the steamer Crown
of CASTLE ran into the liner and tore
hole more than ten feet in diameter
in the overhanging stern.
The bow of the Crown of CASTLE
penetrated the stewards quarters on
the Kron Prinz Wilhelm to distance
of about fifteen feet, but no one was
injured. Water tight doors on the
hull of the Kron Prinz Wilhelm were
completely closed, but it was quickly
acertained that she had suffered no
damage below the water line, and after
a wait of several hours for the fog
to tighten she proceeded to her dock
in Hoboken.
The Kron Prinz Wilhelm arrived
from Bremen at 2 a. m. today carry
ing 392 passengers. She anchored off
quarantine station to wait the visit
of the health officers, and after in
spection started from quarantine to
come up the harbor to her dock.
When the liner left quarantine the
fog was not thick enough to prevent
a good vision of the harbor, but the
steamer had proceeded only about two
miles when the mist closed thlcKly
about her and Captain Nierrich
brought the ship to a stop and an
chored off Robins reef to await the
lifting of the fog.
Fog bells were rung on both the bow
and stern of the liner to warn other
vessels Of her presence, but the steam
er had been at anchor only five min
utes when the quartermaster on the
after bridge telephoned to the captain
that a steamer was coming up astern,
headed directly for the Kron Prinz
Wilhelm.
Captain Nierrich promptly ordered
the chain slipped and the engine start
ed ahead and the water tight doors of
the steamers compartments closed.
There are forty-eight of these doors
and they were closed in just fifteen
seconds. ! The big steamer was just
gathering headway when the Crown Of
CASTLE struck her fairly in the stern,
penetrating the overhanging and tear
ing a triangular hole fifteen feet wide
and ten feet long through the steel
plates. The shock of the blow was
only slightly felt on board the big
liner and the two vessels quickly sep
arated.
Both came to anchor again and lay
there for several hours until the fog
lifted, when they proceeded to their
docks.

piano playing and by several other
things. But the real thing that
caused Mr.. Carnegie to take to the
chubby-faced Pennsylvania boy was
the fact that he was working.
The first few months young
Schwab was employed by the Car
negie Steel company he was in the
engineering department. A lot of
extra work was to be done, and the
boys in that department were or
dered to work overtime doing it.
How are you getting along?"
inquired Mr.. Carnegie one day i.
oh, there're all working, but the
only live one on the job is that
young Schwab.'
"How's that" why he takes
an interest in his job. He's there
early and stays late. He never
grumbles about the overtime and
just so he makes himself useful and
adds little every day to what he
knew the day before he's satisfied
The others are there simply because
it's job, and they need the money.
He's trying to learn the business
and to get to be something better
than he is now"
Just that little remark was the
making of Mr.. Schwab. Carnegie
was always looking for men who
were not working for salaries, but
for chance to work into some
thing better than a salaried job.
He sent for young Schwab, looked
him over and six months later the
youngster who was wanting to
learn something was the chief en-
gineer at the Edgar Thompson
plant, then general superintendent
of the arm or plate department, next
president of the steel trust.
