APPOINTMENT OF HOLMES
ENDS FRACTIONAL FIGHT.

The appointment OF DR.. J. A Holmes
as head Of the new Bureau Of Mines
came as a surprise 10 every member OF
the Geological Survey last night. because
II had been taken for granted that Sec
rotary BaIlinger's opposition to that ex-
pert would influence President Taft not
TO appoint him.
Director George Otis Smith. Of the Geo.
logical Survey, and one OF Secretary
Balllnger's stanchest supporters. had Sc
lected StatiStician E ". Parker as head
Of the bureau. When the law creating
the Bureau Of Mines went into eject,
July !. the President appointed Director
SIN h temporary director Of the new de
pa tment.
Director Smith at once placed Parker
In charge Of the mines commission. and
since that time the statistician has been
organizing it with the general under
standing that he would be appointed its
head.
Even though the Pinchot faction in the
Geological Survey has said right along
that Dr. Holmes was the logical man for
the place. they believed that Secretary
BaUinger and Director Smith would sue
coed in having Parker appointed by the
President. So when the appointment came
over the wire last night it created con-
siderable apprehension among the Bal
linger men and general applause by the
Pinchot following
Every one who knows of the long fac
tional fight between the friends Of DR..
Holmes and those who wanted Parker
TO get the birth believe that the action
Of President Taft was clear concession
10 the COnseTvationists.
When Congress appropriated $4,000 to
investigate mine disasters. the work was
turned over 10 the chronological branch
OF the Geological Survey. OF which DR..
/ Holmes was head. he at once created
a testing station at Pittsburg. and after
a series OF elaborate experiments, sue
! ceeded in standardizing explosion charges
used IN mine blasting.
All mine disasters have resulted from
| farebacks Of blasts. so mine owners and
miners were equally thankful when a
standard blast was announced. Another
| important result Of the experiments OF
/ DR.. Holmes was the discovery that coal
dust is high explosive. and just as dan
gerous as fire damp. The two announce
ments practically revolutiOnized mining
methods, and brought the annual mine
! fatalities down more than a thousand.

Mrs. Harrison on New York Society.

10 add that l am far from including
in them certain physical aspects Of the
town. the paving OF the streets. the long
rows Of dreary brownstone houses. the
telephone poles, omnibuses. and horse
cars now happily swept away.
My point of view was chiefly focused
upon the social relations Of the people

Mrs. Belmont and Mrs. John Jacob
Astor were spoken OF as entertaining

elegance than any others. because their
large means. handsome establishments.
and love Of hospitality carried their par
ties into more conspicuous place before
the public eye. But It was certainly not
the custom. as 1t is now. to strain FOR
invitations to the houses of Weather

PACIFIC STEAMER AGROUND.

Seattle, Sept 1.-The Alaska Pacific
Steamship Company's 1.S0O-ton steel
steamship Watson went aground on the
reef of waadah Island near Neah Bay
last night. and lies in a dangerous po-
sition on the rocks. Although there was
heavy fog. the sea was comparatively
calm and all the ninety-two passengers
aboard the vessel. which wac bound from
Seattle for San Francisco and Los An
geles. were taken ashore In the small
boats unframed. The passengers are
safely camped on the rugged little island
awaiting the arrival Of rescuers who are
hurrying TO them.
As soon as the vessel struck. Capt
Griffin ordered out the life boats, and in
short time the sailors were taking the
passengers ashore.
That Capt Griffin believes his craft IS
in no great danger and that he landed his
passengers only to be on the safe side is
Indicated by a wireless report received.

The Washington herald., 1910-09-03

A writer of the biography Of one Of the
country's great men. great in his bust
ness success and great in his work for
humanity says that his first employers
gave the following three qualifications as
the reason why he so early attracted at
tention in business: His enthusiasm,
his entire thoroughness. and his faculty
OF application"
These are without doubt three Of the
watchwords OF success in the business
world. An employer likes enthusiasm.
not merely enervescent spirits that mean
nothing. and accomplish nothing. nor
a fussy overzealousness that is con-
tinually meddling in things that are
none Of its concern. But he likes the
deep. sincere enthusiasm that takes as
much interest In the genuine well
fare Of his business as he does him
self Enthusiasm is catching. and the
employee who is enthusiastic about his
employers business makes others believe
in II. He arouses a feeling OF good will
for Il wherever he goes.
Few things are more valuable IN the
business world than entire thoroughness.
The peace and satisfaction that come to
an employer when he finds an employe
who is entirely thorough are beyond
words 10 describe. II an employee wants
to make himself valuable, let him culti-
vate entire thoroughness. He will be-
come more precious TO the busy man OF
affairs than the stocks and bonds in the
strong box. A man may not have origi-

New York. Sept 2-WeH. the Lust
tania got in ali right this morning.
and 1t was not a case OF cholera after
all-the illness OF the steerage pas
senger which caused the big Cunarder
10 stay at anchor OF quarantine for
something over twelve hours But It
was some night with the wor-
~ and everything aboard the ship.
even II things did come out all right
with the morning.
The great turbine sidled Up toward

ing covered the distance between
Daunts Rock and the Ambrose Chan

hours. and ten minutes good pas

er. Only on Monday. the first real day
out. was the weather unpleasant On
that day a good majority OF the sa-
loon passengers declined u eat the
perfectly good fo0d that was set be-
fore them. After a nights rest they
felt different about il. and the wealth
er. too. changed its attitude toward
them.
Stop ut Quarantine.
A few minutes after the ship had
stopped at quarantine the revenue
cutter drew up TO her. waiting for the
word that she had been cleared by the
health officers. On the revenue cut
ter were Deputy Collector Williams
and a stan OF some dozen special dep
uties and inspectors OF customs. half a
dozen or so men whose families OF
friends were aboard the Lusitania. and
the usual complement OF ship news re-
porters. Pretty soon the health Of
fceTs boat drew away from the side
OF the ship nearer quarantine and the
master Of arms, who stood at the
gangway. adjacent to the revenue
cutter. shouted All aboard" and ev-
erybody climbed on.
Now the presumption on the part Of the
customs people and the others on the
cutter was that the ship had been given
clean bill Of health by DR.. DOty's men.
Instead OF that, this was what had been
going on:
DR.. Rimer, OF the health officers stan,
had come aboard and had received no re-
pert OF illness from the ships surgeon
He then had gone through with the usual
examination, and when the line OF steer
age passengers-there were 1.124 persons
In the steerage IN all-had all but COM
pleted its parade before the physician,
Dr. Rimer noticed one young man, rather
understood who wabbled from side 70
side on legs that refused 10 hold his
weight. and who generally was, 70 quote
DR.. Rimer, in a state Of semi-coIlapse.

The physician questioned this man. He
said he was Simeon Kiste, a Roumanian
twenty-eight years old. and alone or
board. so far as family or friends was
/ concerned He admitted that he had been
very sick all the way over. and his de-
| scriptiou OF his condition tailed roughly
with the symptoms OF cholera, He had

and had not attracted the surgeons at

rest OF the line. and took Kiste over 4

This caused all the delay.
