Mm of Aspirations to
do Something. (
A great deal of surprise has '
>een expressed by the recent ele i
/ation of a comparatively un
uiown individual?Mr. Chas. >!
Schwab?to the presidency of the
treat "billion dollar steel trust,"
he largest aggregation of indnsries
and combined capital the 1
vorld has ever seen, Mr. Schwab's
innual salary is now $800,000.
The surprise, however, is con lined
0 those who aro unacquainted
vith the personality of the for
unate individual and the secret
springs of success over which In
laa had command for the tow
-ears past. Those who were
inside" this gigantic deal, who
A'eie informed of all the step.;
a .vhich have led up to his elevation.
^ ooked upon his promotion much
is a matter of course.
The interest of the people ai
urge in the career of tin's young,
nan of 39, who only 21 years
.go was working for a dollar a
ay, is purely impersonal, ye'
tense. We would like to bi
formed as to the processes nccssary
tor advancement from oh
curity to world wide prominence
roni relative poverty to wealtl
vhich to use the well worn simile
1 really beyond the dreams of
varice. It is very encouraging
o the generality of men to find
hat the rules are very simple and
nay be found "writ largo" not
uily in the brief but meteoric

>f every "captain of industry"
vho has made his mark in Amor
ca tor tho past half century and
<nore.
It might have boon found con
^ auied in a certain news item
vhich appeared in the daily

ions were merely in tlioir forma
ive stage and was to this effect:

the approximate valuations, the tx
capacity of production, the nuni it
ber of employ ees and other de h<
tails about their departments. It h
was further learned that a su n- a
rnaiy of those statements was r<
taken back to Mr Carnegie by
President Schwab, who returned e<
to New York tonight, and will be b
made the basis of the valuation st
at which Mr Carnegie is to part b
with his stock." p
It does not need a mind of pi
extraordinary acuteness to read c<
between the lines of this trans- r,
action (whether actual or mere- y,
ly reputed) the secret of his
success. If not perfectly nppar- fic
out, then it may bo found in!
one of his own statements a'
recently made in an interview :i w
"V"?ry early 1 made up my ai
mind to make myself indispen- i m
sable to my employers instead tli
of looking at the clock. Em- I'
plovers appreciate men who la
may bo trusted to do their work st

themselves. Once a week? n,

heads of the various depart ^

meal not a word of business is
permitted, but after luncheon
we exchanged ideas- On Mon- w
clay these heads of departments w
call their men together and have ot
similar meetings. An employer ci
[licks out his assistants from a,
the best informed, most compe p{
tent and conscientious men." v.
Ilere, then, is the whole mat- tJ]
ter in a nutshell?thorough U(
equipment and knowledgo of m
one's business right of his fin- ai
gors' ends. It was this equip | rii
ment and system that enabled | fa
Mr. Schwab to visit Pittshurclbi
O
in the morning, assemble his (!a
assistants, gain the information i)(
necessary for tho consumption 8t
of tho most stupendous deal on w
record and return to New York ja
that same night.
It govs without saying that p|
such exceptional opportunities as 8a
have come in the way of this new Kf
king of steel rarely happen in the m
course of an ordinary lifetime; |,j
hut, all the 6ame, the difference jp
between his career and the aver- p,
ago one is merely relative.* For pj
the encouragement of the hither- p(
to unsuccessful'ones let us quote
again from Mr Schwab, who says: y\
"There were never before aa many j.(
oppOi(unities for the right kind of vv
young men. Employers every- sj
where are on the lookout for com- p(
petent, pushing young men, and m
when tliey are found thoy do not , j
easily part with them." And he

the fact that he made himself in- 1o
dispensable to Mr Carnegie that je
he holds his present position. It (c
is said that when he had pushed f0
himself forward to occupy this
enviable station?of being indis- H
pensible to his employers?an aI
agent of an English concern ashed n(
him if he would take a similar p,
position in England at a salary rc

by the president of the United j,
Slates. He refused, but said noth | ft|

when he tinalv heard of its com U(

by him, but asked, ''What is it,
you really do want?" "0,

d is where came tho opportunity
d that led oil to fortune and fame,
but only in this instance, he
ir declares, was he aided by mere
3 c rcumstance. Mr Carnegie,
ho says, toook only a general,
I and not a special, interest in
him, which ho tried to foster,
8 of course, by doing his level
best. But?and hero comes in
8 the application of the general
<3 rule which was specialized in!
t his case by his own efl'orts?\
r "but a man who is not suscept
i. ible to encouragement will not
0 succeed ! A man must be wide
.j awake and up to date if ho
1 wants to forgo to tho front. I lis
future mostly depends upon;
1 himself I" |

the nature of aphorisms that;
have been delivered again and
again during centuries past, yet
aro as truo today ah they were in !
tho business of" yesterday.
"First be master of what you
undertake, and tho money will
follow." "Always be sure of
your facts. You lessen the esteem
of your superiors if you are
not."
Perhaps the mainspring of Mr
I Schwab's success may be founut
in this statement; "Palways re-1
lied upon myself. I am a great )
believer iu self reliant manli-j
ness, which is manhood in its \
noblest form !
"Whon I first went to work for
Mr Carnegie I had over me an
impetuous, hustling man, and 1
had to bo at the top notch to give
satisfaction. I worked faster i
8 than I otherwise would have j
done. My object in life then
Q was to show him my worth. 1
8 thought and dreamed of nothing
e but the steel works, in conse1
quence I became his assistant."
1 As u corollary to this line of
operations, Mr Sclnvab belioves (
- in early marriages as conducive J
to steadiness of purpose and!
e affording the highest incentive I
- for noble effort. Ho started out
s by marrying at 21, founding a
r home of his own where he could
e spend his spare time in study
t j and experimental chemistry,
e lie had a small laboratory and
t studied along the trend of his
a , work, though he made no direct
11 application of this acquired!
e knowledge. He states another j
e evident truth when he says:
f| "While my laboratory work i
ej was not in the line of my duty, j
lit gave me greater knowledge,
n I An employee should do someq
thing besides his mere duty?i
, I something that attracts the at
n tention of his employer to him. i
p, ! T nindfi nn r.iv iniiwl flint tlmivi
bjshould bo nothing, in the inanii,
facture of steel that I would
-1 not know."
s Incidentally, it may %e said that
Mr Schwab does not believe a
e college education is necessary tor
- ja business man. This might not
r seem to accord with what lias
been already quoted, but he ex
s plaines it by staling that much of

The interest of the worl 1 at'
large in Mr. Schwab, ,ts ,?lread\
Rtated,is mainly impersonal. Ii j
is because lie himself is a per
sotuficat ion of success tliat he he
comes fascinating as a suhjurt for
analysis lit- is not the only instance,
nor is he thus particularli
unique, but he is the latest ex i
ample of what a poor boy can do
when he starts out right, keeps
right, looks ahead and forms the
right 3orf of a business connection.
If it had not been for An-'
drew Carnegie, he might not h'-ve
become a figure of such colossal
proportions in so short a time.
But Mr. Carnegie himself was
once a poor boy?poorer, in fact,
at one time than hundreds ot the
men ho has assisted to rise in the
world. He took an interest in
thcin not because tiny were poor.
or perhaps because thev w^re
worthy, hut on account of their!
personal qualities, which ho then
knew could be turned to account, i
Without opening for discussion
the question as to the desirability
of ! ecoming a millionaire, with
vast responsibilities, the simple
fa< t remains that if one desires
to attain to pre-eminent financial
success, beginning as a poor boy
and rising through ail the grades
to the top, he must be reliable,
oarnost, indefatigable and, above
all. dependable. This is accord
inp to those among the success-j
ful ones who have consented to
favor ua with their opinions;{

gontlemau iabt quoted : "The

Chicago, March 10.? One of the
worst windstorms of tho season
struck Chicago early to day and
during the two hours that. it. lasted.
damaged property throughout
t lie city I o the extent of if 1 75,000.
Majiy heavy plate glass windows
were blown in. Telegraph and
'eh phone companies were the
worst sull'erers. Thousands of
i ?i l i
poies wore mown tiown ana unicngo.was
practically isolated from
the west and northwest by teleplione
and telegraph tonight and
all day today.
The storm is believed to have
been most severe in southern
Wisconsin. Along a short stretch
oi the Milwaukee road in southern
Wisconsin 500 telegraph poles
are down.
Rep' its from many points in
Indiana and Kentucky also indicate
heavy* damage from the
storm. The Western Union and
Postal Telegraph companies suffered
severly by fallen poles. It
was estimated that there were not
fewer than 5,000 poles in the city
thrown down by the fury of the
wind and storm. Service almost
as far west as Omaha was stopped
until late this evening.
Trains entering Chicago were
delayed all the way from ten
minutes to one hour. The Burlington
and the Milwaukee and
St Paul companies were the
worst sufferers in this respect.
All the roads suffered damages
to tracks and switch yards.
At the lifo savins: station at
the mouth of the Chicago river
it was considered the worst gale
which has struck Chicago harbor
since 1804 The water,
lashed into fury, came up to the
life saving station and flooded
tlm floor for the first time in
12 years. Most of the shipping
was protected in winter quarter*,
so that the damage done
to it was slight.
