It is believed tRat Mr. Schwab will . of retire at the advice of his physician, j who has told him that if he continues re a* the head of the Steel Trust he will I tj have nervous prostration. bt President Scbwab could he seen any on day at Loretto. Pa., but was not at In home to business callers. While not th dangerously ill he has l?een advised that a continuation of work would a threaten mental derangement. The in- of valid took a drive from Loretto to j w Cresson. a distance of fifteen miles. ! lo He did not look like a sick man. The j "* mountain air braced him up physi- I tr cally, and he looked bettrr than when | H he left Atlantic City. His physician j ^ excluded all newspapers from him. : K His wife met all visitors, and no one j tt on business was allowed to disturb ^ him. The fart that the nervous strain { is breaking him down preys on his , th mind, and ho has lost his cheerful de A meanor. An ottioial of the Carnegie Company snld he knew of Mr. Schwab's condi- | ^ tion, which he thought was not serious ? if he would adopt his physician's ad- I h< vice and drop all business for a year | or so. He thought it was doubtful If i til Mr. Morgan could dispense with the | hi aid of n practical man as head of the j n' Steel Corporation such a length of aj time. Therefore, another man may be ! appointed to take his place or an elec- j tion of directors may seat some one ** else in the presidential chair. The belief exists that the life of New J> York City and Europe was too much ; P' for a man who had always lived as ; 'B simply as Mr. Schwab. ! It Is stated that Mr. Schwab has decided to retire indefinitely from an active business life. He will seek some p, quiet nook in Europe, where not an echo of the strenuous life be has led ! can reach him. Si JUSTICE SHIRAS WILL RETIRE.

An early wedding was promised, when Mr. Remington began to show signs of an unbalanced mind. His actions were noticed by bis fianeee and his habits were closely watched. When after a time Mr. Van Alen and Miss Van Alen were satisfied that Mr. Remington was of unsound mind, the engagement was broken off as quietly as possible, both fearing that too sudden a shock would lead to violence. Mr. Remington was not denied the house either abroad or at Newport and was always most hospitably received by Mr. Van Alen when be called, but Miss Van Alen saw him as little as possible. The absence of his former fiancee when he called waa resented by Mr. Remington, and his visits to the . bouse became less frequent. In the meantime he bad begun to write letters to Mr. Van Alen. bis son. James Lawrence Van Alen. and Miss Van Alen, In which be made all sorts of threats, particularly against the * elder Van Alen, whose life be threat- e ened on several occasions.
