The Secret of Success.

Sir Thomas Upton. the great British merchant
and yachtsman OF international fame who by his
own unaided efforts from poverty TO great
wealth, says
when men tell you there no chances
in this world tell them they mistaken. America
abounds in so many that marvel why any
cares to leave its shores There are thousands OF
manufactures that still in an imperfect state:
there are millions Of that stin to be made
productive; there countless achievements yet to
be undertaken.
II have often been asked to define the true secret
Of It is thrift in all its phases and, prn
cipally. thrift as applied to saving. A young man
may have many friends but he will find mono so
steadfast, constant, so ready to respond to his
wants. capable OF pushing him ahead. a little

reaching seriousness abroad that they
forecast resulting embarrassment here
all of which philosophy Is dismissed by
practical bankers as rubbish. 1t is true
that funds are at premium because of
crop-moving requirements: but who can
be disposed to worry over a money ac-
tivity and slight interest premium when
the very mony which is called into re-
quest is obviously money that is being
used to make more money, make tre-
mendously more?
The logical comment of optimistic bank
ers and brokers is easily followed-pre-
sented in this wise: Certainly II does
not mean that so much money has been
taken by the stock market that other
borrowers are left short. There has been
no market in months which could have
created such condition as that. 1t
tied up In stocks Of merchandise which
are lying stale on merchants shelves,
for the fact is that in most lines demand
has been ahead Of production. This
Is true, for instance, of the steel mills.
whose output Is sold six months ahead: it
is true of copper, the stock of which Is al
most at an irreducible minimum; 1t 10
true, too, of the cotton industry and in
varying degree Of nearly every industry. :.
1t does not mean that there is any feeling
Of distrust which causes hesitation to
loan money-for the fact is that only the
pessimist is now doubtful about the enor-
nous volume Of business which the coun-
try has before IL.
Had there been any unsafe specula alton
going on these recent months. prices
might now be tumbling on the stock ex-
change, as money was taken out Of
stocks and put into business. But there
has been nothing of that kind. and hence
the stock market has really been moving
very little, has been almost standing
still-waiting for the time when money
can again be had in plenty, or at all
events until We are within striking dis
tance OF the time when cash now en-
ployed in moving the crops and In keep

tone remained steady. Investment busi-
ness was somewhat checked by trade
activity, in which all the available

GIRL ADMITS SHE FIRED HOTEL
Employe of St. Louis Minister Tells of
 Her Mania for Arson.

St. Louis, Nov. GA IT year old
 nurse girl, Barbara Gladys Arnold, em- ployed by a leading St. Louis minister, fired the Hotel Berlin here last Fri day night, indirectly causing the death of four persons, injury of score and destruction of property worth $100,000. Also, according to her confession to Chief of Detectives Sam 1 Allender, she tried to burn the Hotel Berlin last Tuesday, but failed, and early yesterday morning attempted to destroy by fire the Windermere hotel, in which more than 100 men, women and children were sleeping. Her only motive, she confessed, was love of ex- citement, and detectives, relatives and | friends are convinced she is insane. The Rev. Dr. William J. Williamson pastor of the Third Baptist church of | St. Louis, by whom she has been en- | ployed since last February as nurse for | his year old daughter, is inclined to | think a narrow escape from drowning at South Haven, Mich, last September and the slight of a child meeting death | at the same spot few days later un-
 1 balanced her mind and brought about | the burning of the Hotel Berlin, the | import of which she seems unable to | realize.
 | After her confession, which followed ] hours of questioning by the detectives, | the girl was locked in the matron's
 room at police headquarters to await | action of the circuit attorney. She is
 held incommunicado and her mothers | request to see her was denied.

DISSENTING OPINION IN
 STONY BROOK CASE
City, Should Have Alleged Necessity
 for Land Condemnation and Offered Proof.

The dissenting opinion in the Stony Brook water rights case, written by Judge J. W. Wheeler of the supreme court of errors. has been received by Clerk Parsons of the superior court Three out of the five judges concurred in the opinion which sustained the contention put up by the attorneys for the city in attempting to take the land and acquire the water rights.
 Judge Wheeler ayers that the ques- tion in this case Is whether without notice to the owners the board of wa ter commissioners of the city of Nor wich by its mere vote to condemn land and water rights in an adjoining town, determine the condemnation and the necessity so that it need not allege it in it's application to condemn or offer proof. If the legislature can delegate such authority to a municipal corporation, then 1t can delegate 1t to a private corporation, writes the judge in his opinion. The necessity should have been alleged and proof offered. The city of Norwich can obtain all the land it wants through certain stat ute provisions, which the judge cites.
 Attorneys for the town of Montville have 60 days from October II in which to apply for writ of error from the supreme court decision
