SIR THOMAS LIPTON.

(THE STORY OF A REMARKABLE
CAREER.

 

 

Born In the Grantee: POVJl'ty and With
No Advantages For an Education, He
Has Become One of the Most: Noted
Business Men in the World.

In a sketch of Sir Thomas that ap-
peared in a recent number of The
Black and White of London. the
writer says: “Although the great mer-
chant’s parents weie both him his
life and his work, his courageous
struggles, and the brilliant success
Which ultimately crowned them be—
long entirely to Gl-J’asgow This is not
entirely correct, for, although Sir
Thomas, the son of a workingman,
earned 2s. 6d. a week as messenger
boy, about forty years ago in that city,
the real theater of his first achieve-
ment was New York. It was in this
city that his business faculties were
sharpened, and his mind developed
through sheer self-responsibility.

 

SIR THOMAS LIPTON.
His life’s story, if printed in a book

for boys,m might, by careful parents, be
regarded as improbable if not true,
for it is one of those phenomena of
human existence that verify the para-
dox that truth 'is stranger than fiction.
While Thomas worked during the days
in dingy Glasgow as messenger boy,
he attended the schools at night with
the indomitable idea that an education
was the base of all things. As soon
as he learned to write and figure and
had a passing knowledge of the
world’s geography and of his own
country he came to America. There
are certain youths who need no school
but the world; give them a start, and
their ability in many lines develops
naturally and evenly and as sure as
fate its-elf. Benjamin Franklin was
one of these lads; Tho-mas Johnston
Lipton was another..

ahead of their contemporaries who
have been blessed with college educa-
tions. .

“My experience in America,” said
Sir Thomas, during one of his period-
ical “runs across,” in June, 1896,
“sharpened 'me, and I always felt that
I got a good commercial training
here.”

On his return to Glasgow he bor-
rowed from «his parents £80 that they
had saved by strict economy and

opened a small provision shop. He

was mpprietor, clerk, and office boy—
even his own scrubwoman. In the
brief period. of thirty years, note the
difference! Nowhe has Stores in ev-
ery town in England, Ireland, and
Scotland that is large enough to sup-
port a- store—orWhis corporation has,
which amounts to. the same thing, for
it was only recently that he decided
to transfer his great business interests
to the control of a company. He also
has an office in New York and a pack-
ing house in Chicago. But that is net
all. In addition he is the largest in-
dividual owner of land in the Island
of Ceyldn, where he grows tea, cofiee,
and cocoa. The Indian headquarters
of the company is in Calcutta. He
also has stores in Hamburg and Ber-
lin. For his packing house in/ Chicago
he kills as many as 3,000 hogs a day.
But let him tell his own story of the
great success that has attended his
efforts, and note the moral that is to
be drawn from his experience. '

“I acquired all this by hard work.
I often say 1 work twenty—five hours
out of twenty-four. I try to do away
with the middleman as much as possi-
ble. Then I believe in advertising. It
is the lifeblood of modern trade.
Everybody reads, and the newspapers
and periodicals are the best mediums.

“I have my own printing office for
job work, in which I employ '200 print-
ers. I 11th3 10,000 persons on my pay
rolls. I never have had a strike, and
never shall have one. I make it my
business to look after the interests of
my men and we live in peace and har-
mony.

“I would say to young men that the
making of their future life is in their
They often get opportun-
ities but fail to accept them. If they
are temperate and make up then
minds to work hard and not make too
much of a bargain about long hours,
and do unto others as they would be
done by, there is no fear of success
not coming. They are bound to suc-
ceed.” '

It is not necessary to dwell on the
generosity and philanthrophy of Sir
Thomas. His historic check f01
£25,000 was a feature of the Queen‘s
jubilee year. Unlike other Britons
who have attained success by strides.
prosperity cannot spoil him. He has
never abandoned his simple life and is

fpanion and friend he has been to these

SHERIDAN AT THE MILLINER’S-

His Gallantry to an American Woman in
«Paris During the Commune.

General Sheridan, as be became old-
er, conquered his shyness. At the
time of the Commune he was in Paris
with his aide—de-camp. There was also
stopping. at the same hotel a charm-
ing American woman with whom he
was slightly acquainted. The prison-
ers had been liberated and were rush-
ing madly through the streets. The
order had also been given that all win-
dows and shutters must be kept
closed. Shut in her dark room and
hearing the noisy rabble below, the
woman became greatly alarmed.

“There is but one thing for me to
do,” she cried, “to insure safety. 1
will put myself under the care of the
American general.”

She, therefore, sent her card to
Sheridan, who at once called and of-
fered his services. He also advised
that she should join his party in the
morning and get away to London.
Still she appeared distressed. Finally
she cried: “It is my bonnets at Vi-
rot’s. They were to have been down
to-day. How can I go and leave
them?”

The general grasped the situation
and offered his ‘arm to escort her to
the milliner’s. Happily, it was not
far off. ~ Ever afterward be delighted
to tell of his pleasure at seeing such
an array. of dainty headgear. He had
never been at a milliner’s before.—
Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

Dead Before She \Vas Hanged.

“I wonder,” said a gentleman who,
on account of family connections both
North and South,'l1ad exceptional fa-
cilities for getting inside information
during the civil war, _“that Colonel
Chris Bath, Who hanged the murder-
ers of President Lincoln, never made
reference to the fact that Mrs. Sur-

ratt was dead when she was hanged.

He must have known it. Why the
fact has been suppressed so often I
do not know.
markable control of her emotions. She
bore up under most trying circum—

stances and gave way only in the

solitude .of her cell. She never fail—
tered as she was led to the gallows
and appeared to retain her self con-
trol better than Powell, Herold or At-
zerott. Her iron will never relaxed,
but her heart gave way under the
awful strain. She died in the arms of
the priest who was comforting her,
and he held her lifeless body while
the noose was adjusted and the trap
sprung.”

 

A Verdict by a Georgia Jury.
3 The Atlanta Constitution tells of a
curious verdict rendered by a Georgia
jury in a case where the guilt of the
prisoner was clearly established

It Was not thought the jury-would
be ten minutes in recommending him
for the penitentiary, but twelve hours
clawed Ibefore,the twelve men filed
into court again, when a verdict of
“Not Guilty” was read; to "the aston-
ishment of all.

“How could you bring in such a
verdict after the evidence ?” asked the
judge.

“Well, jedge,” replied the foreman,
“he’s a man of large family, and lost
one leg and two sons in the war."

A Severe Test.

After many inelfectual at‘temps, he
finally succeeded in awakening his
wife, who thrust her head out of the
window and asked:

“ls'that you, Sam?”

“Yesh, m’dear.”

“You’ ve been drinking, and I shan’t
let you in.’

“Nome, I’m puil‘ectly shober.”

“Then pronounce Cienfuegos for
me.’

“Sh— s‘he- shen—few- shenfew”———

“That will do, Samuel Higgins. You
are drunk, and I won’t let you in.”

“But, m’dear, class the way the
Spanish pronounce it.”

 

Experimenting in Banana Flour.

The next dietetic fad isgoing to be
banana flour. Manufacturers are ex-
perimenting in this direction, and
promise soon a meal that will keep as
long as wheat flour and make a much
more nutritious bread. As already the
craze for whole-wheat flour is pass-
ing, this new albumen will undoubted-
ly meet a quick welcome when it
comes. The use of the banana has
developed its great value as an article
of food, and the great army of banana
consumers are prepared to accept eag-
erly its further development.~New
York Evening Post.

 

Teeth llIade of Paper.
The paper teeth made in Germany—

that is, artificial teeth for human use,.

manufactured from paper pulp instead
of porcelain and other materials that
are usually selected for making our
imitation masticators—are said to be
very satisfactory. It is distinctly du-
rable, and not being brittle, does not
chip off. The moisture of the mouth
has no effect upon it, it retains its
color perfectly, and is lighter in weight
than porcelain, and cheaper, of course.

RAISED OLD GLORY.

THRILLING SCENE AT HONOLULU
WHEN IT WENT UP.

 

Marines From American Warships and
Hawaiian Troops Took Part: and the
Exercises Partookcf Genuine Joy Over

- the Event.

August 13, 1.898 was memorable for
Honolulu and the Hawaiian Islands.
It was a day long looked for by a cer-
tain number of citizens and property
holders, a day many had doubts and
fears ,would never come, and give to
them the security of a permanent gov-
crnment, homes of peace and content-
ment, and future prosperity. This
day, so long looked for, was the taking
down of the Hawaiian flag, and in its
place floating to the breeze the Stars
and Stripes. 3

As the appointed hour of 11:30 drew
near every official was in his proper
place, and by the crowds that could
be seen in all directions it seemed as
if everybody was there to witness
what will never be seen again on these
Islands. When every one was in sus-
pense, waiting for the exercises to be-

gin, Rev. G. L. Pearson arose and of; -.

fered prayer, after. which United
States Minister Sewell addressed Mr.
Dole, saying: “Mr. President, 1 pre-
sent you a certified copy of a joint res-
olutionof the Congress of the United
States, approved by the President July
7, 1898, entitled ‘Joint Resolution to
Provide for Annexing the, Hawaiian
Islands to the United States.’ This
joint resolution accepts, ratifies and
confirms, on the part of the United
States, the cession formerly consented
to, and approved by the "Republic of
Hawaii.” '

President Dole replied by saying: “A
treaty of political union. having been
made, and the cession formally cou-
scuted to by the Republic of Hawaii.
having been accepted by the United
States of America, ‘I now, in the in-
terest of the Hawaiian body politic and
with full confidence in the honor, jus-
tice and friendship of the American
people, yield up to you, as the repre-
sentative of the Government of the
United States, the sovereignty and
public property of the Hawaiian Isi-
ands."

Minister Sewell replied ‘by saying:
“Mr. President—In the name of the
United States I accept the transfer of
the sovereignty and property of the
Hawaiian Government. The admiral
commanding the United States naval
forces in these waters will proceed to
perform the duty entrusted to him.”

 

PRESIDENT DOLE.

The Hawaiian Government Band
cornetist sounded “to the colors,” and
the color bearers began slowly to haul
down the Hawaiian flag. This beauti-
ful flag came to the ground from the
flagpole on top of the Executive Build-
ing, and lay there in a lifeless condi-
tion, and looked upon by all as if a
great hero had fallen. One’s burial
could not have been any more solemn
than this part ofthe ceremony. Many
shed tears, and others, as one lady
who expressed her feelings, had large
lumps in their throats. Feelings of
sorrow were not only shown by the
natives, who loved their flag as they
loved their country, but by many who
were born under other colors and had
lived on‘these islands long enough to
become identified as citizens and prop-
erty holders. , ‘

As the Hawaiian flag was being.

folded and placed in other hands, a
salute of twenty-one guns was given,
after which Admiral Miller gave the
signal for the American Qflag to be
raised. The trumpeter for; the naval
forces sounded “to the colors,” and
slowly the Stars and Stripes ascended
the he lya1ds to the top of the flagstaff

on the central tower of the Executive ‘

Building, drawn up by the color-bear-
ers of the American Navy.

flagstaff the breeze of the trade Winds
unfurled to its full length that beau-
tiful silk flag, thirty-eight or fomy by
eighteen or nineteen feet. .On it shone
the bright sunlight,
far and near, saw a new flag, and real-
ized there had been born a. new na-
tion, and that Uncle Sam was and al-
ways would be the father of this new-
born child.

,There was a momentary silence, fol-
lowed by one united cheer and hurrah
of the thousands, mingledwith the
music from tbc,.marine band playing
the “Star-Spangled Banner” and a sa-
lute of twenty-one guns.~ No descrip-
tion can give {inadequate idea of the
contagious effect of the enthusiasm of
this part of the exercise. Every Amer-
ican and all who were in sympathy
with the American flag were full to
overflowing with patriotism, and filled
with pride to see this happy day, one
never to be forgotten.
