A'< w ^ (irk. Aug. 1", '?Charles
M. Schwab, a wonder of modern
industry and limunce, who has
gone t(. pieces, is oil' lor Europe
for rest and ro|>:?irs. 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.
Those who nre familiar with
?is condition say thai Schwab orlinnrilv
is not so sensitive as he
uas shown himsell in tiiis case ;
that ho has the hide of a bull,
cud was never suspected of hav-1
ing such a thing as a nervous

i But with all this talent and

j wsso.-t- the moral fiber, nor the j

world.

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. I

Ills KARLY CARKKR.
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. Ho commanded the con I
