There has ' been a great I about him and I his illness in the papers lately, and considerable contradiction and conjecture, but the plain .acts are that he ha? been run j , i may: under too great a pressure .or a year or more and has broken down. His complaint* is described in long words by iIip lectors, and it is one that nevei roubles poor men or men who live regular lives. It is (railed k rvous prostration when women get it. It is the result ol overwork and worry, and in discuss my the causes and consequences Mr. Schwab'- particular friends iscribe it to anxielv and mortili cation he has suffered because ot t,ho oposition lo his scheme to jonvert a lot of the preferred stock ot the steel trust into bonds. You will remember that ho pro-1 posed to do this, tin I that a syndicate of underwriters was to un Sertake the "linancing" ol the project lor a liberal commission. The proposition was severely criticised in the newspapers and in the street; it was resisted by mine of the heaviest holders of securities ol the trust; many ol the dissatisfied throw lari:e quantities of stock upon the market, which Mr. Schwab was compelled o support, and finally the vice chancellor of New Jersey inter 1 J ' vuneu aim preveniea tne consummation oi the deal. It. whs Schwab's first great failure, but lie considered it a "'throw down," and in his disappointment and Humiliation bitterly reproached iOinur friends whoso support lie >xpected but did not receive.

OF Til F IIUMDr.KST OKIOIN, without education other than that .acquired outside of the schools, or the polish that comes from rnn. (act with men of culture, Mr. .Schwab ha* more vigor than refinement. He fills every room he enters. ; lie Hikes to hear himself talk," as they say: he i* fond of reading his name in the newspapers ; is almost as reckless in his extravagance as John (Jutes; slirgs his money around as if he were not aware of its value, and never counts the change; he loves display, and seldom tails to let his left hand know all about the lransactions of his right. He is temperate in his habile, and free Itom what are called "fashionable vices," hut both in Europe and America he has cut what is usual ly termed "a wide swath," and has not only got there with both feet, but has boasted of it far and near. At Monte Carlo he made the oldest gamblers shiver at. the recklessness ot his play ; in Paris | he astonished the most blase ob server of the antics of American millionaires, and it said to be the model for the leading character in the opera "Florodora." At Vienna he gave the most expensive dinner over serve 1 at that extravagant capital. The newspapers of every European city were filled with ac counts of his doings and sayings, and they sounded familiar to those who have read the story of Monte Cristo. Upon his return fo the United States his notoriety was sustained by frequent publications about his luxurious apartments ; his sumptuous banquets; i.; _ _ l _ i * - " ' ins eniuoraie preparation loral-j fairs which most men would pre lor unnoticed, and lor his sensational plunging into all forms of display and extravagance. It was only a few weeks ago that the newspapers were filled with illustrated descriptions of the nviLMiifieon' palace he has plan tied t< '-mid on Kiverside Drive, New York, which is intended to surpass ail private residences in> the world.

When Charles Schwab wai 0 years old he began his busi ness career as ti clerk in a vil lagc grocery, and several year; later, when the grocery wai moved up to the town of Brad dock, lie went with it, am there by his personal qualities attracted the attention of W. R .Jones, manager of the Etlgn Thompson steel works, whicl afterward became a part of tin Carnegie establishment. Jone? took him out of the grocery ai the age of 15, when lie was drawing wages of $3.50 a week n o and gave him a job in the mil at $0 a week. Just 10 year later the grocer's boy becann the successor of Jones as gener al manager of the steel works at a salary of $30,000 a year? $3,000 a month ; and it was no long before he was president o the Carnegie company with : salary of $50,000 a year. Now at the age of 40, he is the presi dent of th3 steel trust at tin salary of #250,000, and con trols the 1 ihor and the wealtl of more people than any privati individual ever did in all tin world before. No other man ever had sucl a career. His advance has beet so rapid and conspicuous tha ho may be excused for his van ity, particular when h< know that hi^ abili!\' It as won it !'o him.
