Begin at the Bottom.

There is no other place to begin than
at the beginning. II you are starting to
learn a business, you cannot start too
low down. Many boys make the mis-.
take in thinking that the acceptance OF
humble position at very small salary
is an acknowledgement Of inferiori'y
But the higher building Is to reach,
the lover the foundation must be laid.
The master of a business must know it
from the bottom to the top. The COL
lege graduate who Is not afraid to pm,
on overalls and 60 to work in factories
and machine shops, stands far better
chance than IL be drew back fearing
that this would be an admission that bis
education was failure. Don't be afraid
to begin at the beginning.-Ex.

FOG ENDANGERS FIREMEN
ANSWERING FALSE ALARMS,

Four alarms within as many hours
kept the members of the IRE depart
mont on the jump last night. Two of
these alarms were false. and had the
m~iscreants who pulled the boxes been
captured by the men forced to risk their
necks in the dense fog, 1t would have
gone hard with them. The first fire
was discovered at 7:10 at the home of
DR.. Frederick A. Vaudeville, 9s2 Broad
street, but the flames were extinguished
before the arrival Of the fi~re-flghters.
Slight damage was caused at 1901 by q
blaze which occurred at the home Of
Rudolph Lehman. 70 Bruen street. The
two false alarms we're sent Immediately
after this. In responding to tho first
alarm the Salvage Corps automobile
narrowly escaped collision with a south
bound Broad street car at the Four

John Schaeffer and his wife. of 15o

Mrs. Schaeffer sem the lad around

turned at 7 o'clock last night his
mother asked what had detained him.
"T1l tell you how it was, mother" he
began. II was walking along the
street when I was grabbed by a big,
burly negro. I was so frightened
could not scream. He dragged me
along the street, and whenever we
came near anyone he would jerk me TO
the other side.
H hauled me way down below the
railroad tracks, in the meadows, hold
ing so tight to my collar that 1t hurt.
and when we came to a fence he tied
me up with a handkerchief, binding
my hands so l couldn't move. Then he
told me If I yelled he'd kill me. After
he was one a long time I worked
myself loose and came running home
And as Johnny's wore is good at

the Public Service Corporation, at the
present time. is showing the largest
gross and net earnings in It's history,
and with It's financial future now fairly
settled, prospects are more promising
than ever. Then, again, the steady
absorption OF local securities in small
lots and by a conservative investing
element has eliminated to considerable
extent the floating supply which for

tainly offers many large n attractive

KILLS WIFE WITH
BUTCHER KNIFE,
THEN STAYS SELF
New Yorker Murders Spouse
After Her Refusal to En-
ter Suicide Pact.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-In a jealous
rage Max Goldstein, IS years old, of
1913 Clinton street, today killed his wife,
Mollie, 45 years old, with a butcher
knife and then killed himself with the
same weapon. Goldstein had pleaded
with his wife for more than an hour to
take her own life. and when she re-
fused he waited until she slept. Then
he drew the eight-inch blade across her
throat. nearly ~severing the head from
the body.
This morning Miss Cohen and Miss
Berkowitz heard the husband pleading
with his wife in their bedchamber to
die with him.
Come, Mollie. let's take our lives.
I'm too old to make a living for us and
we can't get along this way. Let us
die togetherl"
Then they heard Mollie Goldstein cry,
protesting:
Tn too young to die. I want to live,
No, I cannot die!"
There was more sobbing, and after a
time all was quiet.
Goldsteln had bought a new butcher
knife, but apparently his wife did moi
think he would use 1t as she went
quietly to sleep after the quarrel.
Early today Annie Berkowitz heard
queer sounds coming from Goldstein's
room, and rousing Rebecca Cohen she
went to the door. 1t was ajar. Inside
lay the husband and wife on the floor
Both were dead.

January next to be further invested.
This distribution, no doubt, will have a
very sustaining effect"
Julius 8. Rippei said: IT look for a
very good market In all local stocks and
bonds. Tit present prices OF these
securities are not high considering the
returns. Gas and electric bonds are
very strong, but the offerings are very
few. Public Service securities seem to
be In very great demand, particularly
the certificates; but like the gas and
eiectrics the offerings are light. within
the past two months d New York house
has taken over $5o0,oo0 OF the Public
Service s per cent, notes. The fact that
outside investors are taking over BUR
securities IL a very good indication of
a healthy local market. The United
Electric Company's last statement
showed ar increase In net earnings of
close on to $500. 900, while a similar
statement Of its net earnings five years
ago showed only an increase Of a little
over $4,000. All in all I look for an
exceptionally good market, particularly
In all securities of the Public Service
Corporation"
All other local brokers express the
same optimistic views as to the future
Of the local security market. on the
ground that prices are extremely low
considering the valuable properties
represented.

AMMOKS RICH
LEGACY To WOMAN
PUZZLES FRIENDS
Slain Hudson Mans Will Re-
wards Employees Who Helped
Him Make Fortune.

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 25.-That Wal
ter e. Ammon, the wealthy butterine
manufacturer, who was shot and killed
in this city November 10, appreciated the
aid rendered to him in building up his
fortune by his employees is attested by
his will, which makes bequests to every
one on his payroll, from the general
manager to the drivers of delivery
WAGONS.
In the will just admitted to probate
Mr.. Ammon disposed of a fortune of
$500, 900. including real estate, bank
stocks and other securities. Miss Mag
dalen B.. Williams, his confidential sec
rotary. and Charles D.. Boyd, his man
ager, both of whom had been with him
during the eventeen years he had been
in business here, each receives a third
interest in the Ammon & Person But
ter, Butterine and Egg Company. The
remaining third goes to DIR. John J.
Baumann, Mr.. Ammon's most intimate
friend, who had saved his life during a
severe illness.
At the time of making his will, last
October. Mr.. Ammon also remembered
three nurses who cared for him while
he was in the Presbyterian Hospital,
Chicago. One of the surprises of the
testament is a legacy of $685. 900 to Ann
Louise Cary, of New York, apparently
unknown to Ammon's Jersey City
friends. To John j. Regan, manager
of the American Butter, Cheese and
Egg Company, Mr.. Ammon b~equeathed
the stock he held in thai corporation.
Other friends and employees received
from 500 to 81, 500 each.
The butterine manufacturer directed
that the residue of the estate be di-
vided among his next of kin. He named
as executors DR.. Baumann, Mr.. Boyd
and Miss Williams. The relatives, in
Guiding Colonel Robert A. Ammon, a
brother, consented to the ~probating of
the will.

"Um-m," she nodded, mostly asking

some young girl, but not many Of that
sort. Girls know better nowadays"
Staxe-Struck Girls.
And that brings me to one Of my
pet theories" Miss Donnelly suddenly
began. ITS about girls leaving home
to 90 on the stage. 1 firmly believe
actresses who go on between the
ages of Is and 20 should have their
mothers or some near relative to travel
with them, until they get used to the
trials and the disappointfnents and h
living alone.
'It isn't the glamour of the stage
that start girls on the wrong path. It's
the awful lonesomeness; the going
homo to cheerless hall oon1s, and the
lack Of companionship that makes them
accept the invitations they would dis
regard had they other interests. And
it's the meanness so many of them have
to bear; harsh criticism OF their best
efforts and lack OF sympathy. It's the
loneliness and disappointments that do
It," Miss Donnelly finished mournfully.
"But outside Of that she cheered
up visibly. II think it's the very best
profession for q girl. It brings you
Into contact with the best people, pro-
~fesslonally and socially, and 1t teaches
you to make the best of yourself in
every way. It enhances an actresses
personality and makes her keep herself
In good condition physically and men,
tally. I have noticed q remarkable
change for the better in every girl rye
known to go on the stage, after she's
been on for two OF three years. Her
character simply has to grow, and after
all, that's tho most important thing"
Miss Donnelly is a living proof OF
the truth Of her philosophy.
