PLEA FOR OLD RELIABLE METH
ODS OF SAVING.
Speculative Spirit Now Rife and Gen
eral Desire to Become Wealthy With
out Labor Have Bud Effect Upon
Principles and Practices of Men.
Are the experiences and methods of
die man who began building his pres
ent fortune lifty years ago likely to
be regarded by the youth of to-day as
of any prat-ticul benefit ?
The question was propounded to the
veteran William J. Oimlmn , of Chicago ,
by a representative of the Chicago
Tribune. .Mr. Onalian answered : "In
their details and as affecting young
men at large no. The sane , sober ,
careful methods of lifty years ago are
as applicable to-day to the founding
of fortunes as ever they were in his
tory. But they read too tamely for
the young men of this strenuous age.
The spirit of speculation has gone too
far. The excitements of gaining , from
the penny-tossing by the newsboys to
the 'margining' in the bucket simps ,
has led the young men of to-day to
look upon the methods of founding for
tunes lifty years ago just as they
would look uion the methods used at
that time in sending merchandise from
New York to San Francisco.
"You can't reach the masses of the
young men of Chicago , for instance , by
saying to them that the only way to
build a safe , desirable and lasting for
tune is by slow accretion and that this
accretion should begin with the lirst
salary thai they draw. Tell a young
man who may be taking up business
life that even on a salary of $10 a
week he should be laying some of it
aside , and the chances are that he will
laugh at you. Why ? Simply because
the temptation to spend never was"so
great as it is now. Yet this habit of
saving is easier to acquire on $10 a
week than it will be afterward at i'Ju
u week , and you may be sure that it
is the one dominant trait that must be
at the foundation of fortune building.
"In the nervous energy of the present
there is a general disposition abroad to
shelve almost any philosophy of mate
rialism fifty ; .ears old as being out of
" date. It has been so easy to say. 'Yes ,
you could do so and so once , but you
can't do it now. '
"But a truth Is a truth and that per
manent fortune must be the product of
sound , conservative building is truer
to-day , almost , than it ever was before.
Most of the wealthy men of to-day be
gan fortune building from the ground
up. They began when habits of thrift
and frugality were far more general in
both old and young than they are now
jind. while they worked longer hours
for less pay. they saved more money.
"I have looked to the Civil War. al
ways , as being the line of demarcation
between the young man of yesterday
nnd the young man of to-day. I don't
know but what war is productive of
the spirit of extravagance. It repre
sents waste and ruin. It creates n feel
ing of unstableness. Certainly the
great Civil War in this country
changed the traits and characteristics
of the people. Excitement took the
jlace of repose. Speculation supplant
ed steady * trade and this has led to the
spirit of gambling , which in one or
another form has become dangerously
widespread.
"Too many young men to-day have
become infected with this passion.
There Is a haste to grow rich. Con
servative methods in business are too
slow. The hope of gaining fortune
without labor has become widely allur
ing.
"This is a fatal delusion. Even
where wealth is thus gained it is more
often a curse than a blessing. The
fortune quickly gained and without la-
lor generally is as speedily dispatched.
Yet just to the extent that we see flat
tering opportunities held out to young
-.men for the making of fortunes bj
some short cut. just to that extent one
'may guess that these projHisitious arc
Accepted.
"No doubt there is now more restless
energy displayed by young men in all
pursuits than formerly , but there were
in ore steadiness , greater perseverance ,
and. as a consequence , more lasting
i-esults iifty years ago. Then habits of
life were simpler , temptations were
less common and extravagance of liv-
inir comparatively unknown. Now it
requires great strength of character in
the young man to stand out against
the temptations of environment. No
doubt there is a certain fascination in
these modern activities in the whirl
and excitement of latter day trading
and speculation. Amusements , too , are
more common and costly and dissipa
tions are more alluring.
"That there are $2.500.000,000 in the
savings banks of the United States and
that the totals are increasing every
Jrenr shows promise. At the same time
I am not sure that it would not be
shown by analysis that adopted citi
zens from continental Europe lead as
these depositors. To some extent it
may be true of the direct descendants
of that old stock , but it has lost its sig-
nih > ance when applied to the typical
American.
"In these observations it should not
be lost to mind that in general a vice
is more apparent than a virtue. And
on the surface we often see traits to
be deplored lack of reverence and re
spect for parents and pnrential author
ity , loss of the deference due to age ,
nnd a falling off in the chivalrous re
spect due to women.
'But as for opportunity for young
men to-day , it is greater than it was
* ever before , only it is not to be sought
In the bucket shops or on the race
course. Steadiness , sobriety , and per
severance will , assuredly bring theii
reward 10 the young men of to-daj as
in the past , and more swiftly. The
enormous activities of the present age ;
the universal expansion of American
trade ; which now as never before ,
pushes its giant ramifications all over
the country , point to the gates of
boundless possibilities to the energy
and capacity of American enterprise.
And the young men of to-day hold the
keys. "
CONVERSATION WITH TENNYSON
Enthusiastic Admirer of the Great
Poet Wn Thoroughly Snubbed.
An American gentleman , in the
course of a recent reminiscent talk , told
his friends how he once listened to a
conversation between Lord Tennyson
and a young Englishman , then just be
ginning to be known in literature. It
took place in a country inn , where the
two had been introduced bya friend of
both , who had left to catch his train
immediately after the presentation.
The American , sitting at a table near
by. heard the Englishman , a shy but
ardent admirer of the poet , begin mod
estly and stammeringly to tell him how
much pleasure he had taken in h'.s
poems. When he ceased speaking , Ten
nyson said :
"Humph ! ' '
The young man was abashed , but he
tried again. He spoke of the beautiful
scenery in the vicinity , and mentioned
the points of interest which he had vis
ited , and which he knew were more fa
miliar to the poet than to himself. His
final remark was a question. Tennyson
answered :
"Humph ! ' '
A third time the embarrassed young
man resumed the conversation , al
though he looked as if he would like to
escape if he knew how. He had become
desperate , and talked about the weath
er. The clouds had grown threatening ;
would it really rain ? Tennyson was
standing near the threshold. He step
ped outside , looked up. held out his
palm to feel if any drops were falling ,
and uttered :
"Humph ! ' ' Thenhe walked off
around the house , and disappeared
from view.
"Well ! " cried the Englishman. The
American , although he was not ad
dressed , looked up with twinkling eyes
and responded , "Humph ! " Then both
laughed , and an acquaintance sprang
up between them which prospered more
fortunately than the relations so rapid
ly begun and terminated between the
great laureate and his thoroughly snub
bed admirer.
The Accordion.
Ernile Gautier has written a plea for
the despised accordion. He calls it the
poor man's piano forte , and wonders
why it should be so overlooked outside
of Russia , where it is the national in
strument. There all the regiments have
their acordion players , whose lively
notes relieve the monotony of long
marches.
The instrument is in every sense an
artistic one. because it embodies the
required qualities ; it gives accurate and
melodious sounds in conformity with
the rules of music. The keyboard is
etxensive enough to bring forth the
most delicate shades of tone. It gives
even an orchestral richness , in small
volume. Under the measured action of
the bellows , which plays the part of the
how. it affords all the inflections and
modulations of the violin in its upper
register. In the lower register it resem
bles the violoncello.
Of course the warmth of praise be
longs to the Instruments of the best
French make , not to those which are
hastily put together for an imliscrimin-
ating market.
Seventy-three years ago the accordion
was invented in Vienna by a man
named Damian. The invention em
bodied a Avonderful knowledge of
music , together with nn astonishing cal
culation and skill. When the instrument
came out it was a triumph , but the pub
lic soon regarded it with indifference.
A Story vrith a Point.
Among Booker T. Washington's
many stories of the contempt of the
low-class Southern whites for the ne
groes is this one :
"One day , " says Mr. Washington , "a
poor , ignorant white man came to the
polls to vote.
' 'I wish you'd oblige me by voting
this ticket , " said a bright mulatto , who
was standing near the polls.
" 'What kind of a ticket is it ? ' asked
the poor white man.
" 'Why. ' said the mulatto , 'you can
see for yourself. '
" 'But I can't read. '
" 'What , can't you read the ballot
you have there in your hand and which
you are about to vote ? ' exclaimed the
colored man.
" 'No , ' said he , 'I cau'l read at all. '
" ' "Well. * said the colored man , 'this
ballot means that you are in favor of
giving equal franchise to both white
and colored citizens. '
" 'It means to let the niggers vote ,
does it ? '
" 'Yes. sir. '
" 'Then I don't want it. Niggers don't
know enough to vote. ' " New York

A RUNNING FIGHT ENSUES
Ills Companion Captured by a Posse Made
Up of Victims of Their Dar > ng Crimea on
the Highway.
San Jose , Gal. , Aug. 11. A series
of daring highway jobberies which
resulted in the sensational death of
one of the robbers and the wounding
of a citizen occurred on the Monti eal
road last eveniug. Two young men
apparently 'tttle more than boys
in age , compelled an old lady who
was d'riving along the highway neat
Eden vale to deliver the horse and
butrgy to them. They then drove to
E. F. Heples , a store at Coyote ,
where they purchased cartridges for
a pistol. This they loaded and im
mediately proceeded to hold up the
proprietor and several bystanders.
From here they continued toward
Gilroy. On the way they met W. W.
McKee , a sewing machine agent , and
when he failed to stop on their order ;
they fired at him , inllicting a trifling
wound. McKee lashed his horse into
a run and escaped. The robbers con
tinued to Stevens'store , robbing two
or three teamsters on the road of
small amounts. They were just en
tering Stevens' store when they saw
five or six armed men riding rapidly
toward them. This was a posse con
sisting of E. F. ETeples and the oth
er men who had all been robbed.
The robbers abandoned their jaded
horses and started across a field to
ward the westerly foot hills. \ run
ning fight ensued in which one of
the robbers was shot through the
stomach. In emulation of Convict
Tracy he placed bis pistol to his head
and blew out his brains and died al
most instantly. The other threw up
his hands and was taken into custody.

San Angelo , Tex. , Aug. 11 Fire
early Sunday morning completely des
troyed the Ladnon hotel , burned
seven people to a crisp and did a pro
perty damage of $75,000.
All of the bodies have been recov
ered but are so fearfully charred that
they bad to be moved in blankets to
prevent disintegration.
When the clerk discovered the fire ,
the interior of the dining room was
a mass of flames and he could not get
through. He rushed ip the main
stairway , kicking in doors , calling
out at the top of his voice and mak
ing every effort to awaken the guests.
There were seventy-five people in
the house , and all of them got out
safely with the exception of the sev
en and three others who have not yet
been located , but who are believed
to be safe The seven who perished
got out on a small balcony and were
vainly urged to jump into blankets
which wf > re being held for them , but
they hesitated and in a few moments
the balcony fell back into the flames ,
which were fast consuming the hotel.
T In addition to the hotel , three
stables and a half dozen stores were
burned. Only the greatest effort pre
vented the town being destroyed.

TRIES TO BURN CITY
'ERSISTENTWORK OF A FIREBUG
AT PEORIA , ILL.
Peoria , 111. , Aug. 13. The police
, nd fire departments were kept on
ihe jump today by the operation of a
Irebug , said to be Edward Faluagan.
Ie is now under arrest and is charged
rith having applied the match to
ive separate nres during the day.
Che first fire was at the Val Blaz
Brewing company agency , at the
Toot of Harrison street. It was dis-
: overed in time to prevent much dam-
( ge. The next was discovered in
.ime to prevent much damage. The
icxOvas discovered among the sheds'
> n Dooley Bros' coal yards. No daui-
ige was occasioned. Shortly after
.he . noon hour fire was discovered in
Sfeurniller's livery barn. The flames
.pread . with such rapidity that the
liueteen horses occupying the base-
uent floor , all the rigs , both those
iwned by the livery company and the
joarders , were lost. The flames
ipread to the undertaking establish *
nent owned by C. W. O'Leary , adjoin-
ng the livery barn , and caused darn-
ige amounting to about $2,500.
For a time it looked as though the
mtire block at GOO South Adams
itreet would go up in smoke. A gen-
; ral alarm was sounded and every
) iece of tire fighting apparatus in the
; ity was called out.
While they were fighing the Neu-
niller's fire an alarm came from the
louring mills owned and operated by
Horace Clark & Sons at the head of
iValnut street , two blocks away from
ihe Neumiller fire. Part of the de
partment was rushed to the mill , but
she flames had gained such headway
ihat damages amounting to $8,000
were done before the llames could be
jhecked. Horace Clark the venerable
) wner of the mills , was found dead
'n bed at an early hour this morning ,
aaviug died of heart failure. While
ihe fire department was fighting the
'Jlark mills an alarm came in from
. esidence of Mrs. Reggy , 320 Warner
ivenue. The flames occasioned a
Jamage of about $400.
The police this afternoon arrested
Edward Faloagan , 20years of age , re-
iiding at 320 First avenue , and
jharged him with being the incend
iary. They claim to have direct ev
idence against him that will land
aim in the penitentiary. Shortly af-
jr his arrest the muterings of the
jrowd made it necessary as a precau
tionary measure , to remove the pris
oner to the county jail for safe keep
ing. Since then Flanagan has re
fused to say a word. He will neith-
jr deny or affirm the charges made
igainst him.
The fire bug began his work in
Peoria about April ' , and so vigorous
ly did he apply thi torch during the
month of April that the city council
ncld a special session and offered a
reward of $500 for his capture and
conviction. For weeks men lay wait
ing in alleys armed with shotguns in
Q < pe of landing the reward. All this
time he continued applying the
match.
The tire under writers' association
offered an additional reward of $500.
Notwithstanding the fuct that the
reward had been doubled he continued
bis work. Up to date he has succeed
ed in suffocating and burning fifty-
Bve horses and causing fire damages
aggregating many thousands of dol
lars. When the Clark flouring mills
tire broke out today Flanagan was
seen looking iu through a window.
The person who saw him watched
him throw something into the build
ing and then walk hurriedly around
the block. He was followed and af
ter the department had arrived at
the fire he returned and watched
them work. Ha was watching the
fire with apparent satisfaction when
the police arrested him.
The total loss of today's fires will
aggregate about $25.000. with insur
ance of about $12,000. The Clark loss
is estimated at $8,000 , with insur
ance $7,100.
The Neumiller livery barn loss will
amount to about $10.000. Nineteen
horses were suffocated and all the
rigs were destroyed. O'Leary the un
dertaker , estimated the loss at the
fire in his establishment at about
B2,500 fully insured.
The anniversary of the arrival of
the French troops at New York dur
ing the revolutionary war was ob
served by the laying of a corner
stone of a monument to be erected
in Trinity church yard to the memo
ry of Admiral De Ternay , who ren
dered efficient service to the patriotic
cause during the war with Great
Britain.

Lexington Mo. , Aug. 15. Charles.
Salyers ( white ) and Harry Gates ( col
ored , were taken from the county jail
here by a masked mob at 1:30 Wea-
iiesday morning and linched.
They were charged with killing
George W. Johnson , a wealthy farmer
who surprised them at his hen house
near town a week ago. Before thiy
were strung up Salyers made a state
ment to the mob saying that Gates
had fired the shot that killed John
son.
Salvers and Gates were arrested on
the day following the shooting , after
n exciting chase. Johnson was one
of the wealthiest and most respected
men in the community and the feel
ing against the two men was intense.
A mob gathered while they were
being brought to town , but was
quieted through the efforts of the offi
cers , and it was believed the men
would be allowed to stand trial.
Shortly after midnight armed men
came to town by twos and threes ,
most of them masked. They massed
finally near the court yard , in which
the county jail is situated. The mob
was orderly and well directed , each
man doing his work efficiently and
effectively.
A demand upon the jailer for the
prisoners meeting with refusal , sev
eral members of the mob , who had
come well prepared , broke in the out
er door and made quickly for the
cells of the murderers. It took thir
ty minutes to cut through the steel
doors. Salyers was taken out first ,
then Gates. Without further ado and
without encountering any serious ob
jection , the mob started with their
victims for a point half a mile south
of town.
There Salyers was granted permis
sion to make a statement. He said
that Gates had shot Johnson after
firing three times and that when the
last shot was fired he had hold of
Johnson. Before being killed John
son had exchanged shots with the
men and Gates was found to have
been shot in Che right hip. Salyers'
statement finished , the men were
quickly strung up to a tree. They
were left hanging and the mob dis
persed quietly at 2 o'clock , after an
hour's work.
Only one shot was tired , and that
w is to put out an incandescent light
in front of a livery stable as the
mob passed on the way to the scene
of the lynching
KILLED IN WYOMING.
Fremont , Neb. , Aug. 15. News of
the killing of Chares Osterman , a
young man aged about thirty years ,
who was born In Fremont and lived
here until be grew up near Rock
Springs , Wyo. , this week. , was re
ceived in the city yestreday. It
came by wav of Nickerson , where
relatives of Mr. Ostermau's wife live.
The information was embodied in
a telegram and did net give details of
fie manner in which he came to his
death , but it is conjectured that h
w .s shot in some of the trouble that
has been in progress between the cat
tlemen and sheepmen of Wyoming.
Osterman was the owner of a sheep
ranch and had been in the business
of raising those animals for some
years. His father , Charles Osterman ,
sr. , lives at Central City , Neb. He
was formerly a member of a Fremont
partnership in the commission busi
ness. Only three months ago the
young man married Miss Bessie Ha
vens , a niece of Plate and M. Ha
vens of this city , at Nickerson , and
the couple went west to live on tne
groom's ranch. The relatives expect
ed to receive the remains on an af
ternoon Onion Pacific train today ,
but whether he will be burried here
or atN iokerson is still to be decided.
