THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JUNE 16, 1895. FROM. BUSINESS ~RANKS, Continued Interviews Upon the Essentials to Suc- cess. NEW COMPARISONS MADE. Practical Talks From Business Men on How to Get On in the World. Thousands are daily asking themselves, “How can I render my business a suc- © It is impossible to lay down rules that will apply to every line of occupation. In the subjoined interviews with business men many practical suggestions and com- parisons are made. W. C. Mysell, business manager of the Mysell-Rollins Company of stationery manufacturers, stopped in the midst of business yesterday to give his views in his own inimitable style: *‘I am often con- sulted by men much older than myseli,” said he, “with regard to the conduct of lines of businessin which I have never had experience. They will say tome: ‘A man who can buy mines and lands as you have must be a succe: ind ing that their W. C. Mysell. standard of success is wealth. If wealth can be acquired by honest dealing in any business, the management of that business nw truly be termed successful. On the other hand, if wealth is obtained by unfair means the business is not a success ‘I attribute my success in the binding and printing business in a great measure to thorough mastery of the details of branch of the buasiness while identi- fied with one of the largest institutions of this kind in the United States. Many persons fail because they did not begin at the foundation of their business and work upward, step by step. Only such a oneis prepared to accept promotion in his line. Thoroughness is another very important thing. neone who is thorough in mature e got into the habit when young. The 3 1gh person leaves no detais undone, which is very essential to success in busi- ness. The same general rules apply to this s as to any other.”’ regard to building and loan socie- ties and their management, A. Sbarboro, the representative of California to the United States League of Mutual Building and Loan Associations, which meets in Cleveland next month, when seen in his ffices at 524 Montgomery street, had the owing to say : “There is no better financial institution than the local building and loan associa- tion when managed by an honest and un- selfish board of directors aud competent officers of integrity. “Building and loan societies have been very successful in this State. They have an actual invested capital of over $20,000,- 000, and over $10,000,000 has already been disbursed to the shareholders for matured stock, thus makine a total saving to wage- earners of over $30,000,000, most of which, without the inducement afforded by these institutions, would probably have been squandered. “There are 35,000 members, and 15,000 homes have been built in this State princi- pally by laborers and mechanics who would never have been able to live under their own figtree without the assistance of these associations. “The oldest association in the State is the A. Sbarboro. West Oakland Mutual Loan Association, which I oragnized in 1875. A. Merle is its president, and William Wagner has been its treasurer since organization. Our suc- cess has been phenomenal. In twenty ears we have loaned over $1,000,000 and oreclosed only one mortgage. “In 1882 I organized the San Francisco Mutual Loan Association, of which Thomas J. Welsh is the president. This is one the largest in the State and has already matured three series at $200 per share. In 1887 I organized the Italian-Swiss Mutual Loan Association, of which G. B. Cevasco | is president. This one has a large membex- ship of Swiss and Italian pegple, who aim to set aside something for a rajny day, but its shares are held by all nationalities. It has over 4300 shares in force and promises to become one of the largest associations in the State. In 1889 T Lfiganized the Ban Francisco and Oakland Mutual Loan As- sociation, which has over 3800 shares, and in 1890 the San Francisco Home Mutual Association, which is also in a very pros- perous condition. 3 *'The directors of these associations serve without any pay. That they are very con- servative is proven by the fact that foreclos- ures seldom take place. Inall of my asso- ciations I have now 1500 members, holding over 16,000 shares of stock. We have made 1300 loans, amounting to over $2,700,000, and the present assets actually in force amount to over $1,250,000.” C. H. Workman, one of the most suc- cessful of the real-estate dealers of San Francisco, when seen in his office at 630 Market street, said in his usual positive style: ‘“The real-estate business, although improving, is still nottl:;;f compared to what it ehould be. Ins of small 8x10 offices dealera in this City should all be justified, yes, compelled to rent big offices to accommodate customers. In my native State, North Carolina, there is scarcely a characteristic in which she is not excelled hf' California, and the same is true of almost every State on_the Atlantic coast. I have visited and revisited them all and I tell you California is the country of op- portunities. If an able-bodied man cannot make money in the Golden State his life is not worth living. “Looking at California in the light of my accurate knowledge of at least twenty C. H. Workman. States of th Union I say the future of { this State is bright and the real-estate business will share in the universal better- ment of affairs sure to come and come soor Mr. Workma an is well qualified to divine the future, having traveled extensively He came to California a few yes with a few hundred dollars in b and turned bis attention matters. Now he is the owner of two mines of note in this State and valuable City and County property. A. Decourtieux Jr., when interviewed in his market on Pacific street, said: *“The one thing necessary to success in any calling is | thoroughness.” I believe 99 per cent of the failures are attributable to a lack of the knowledge of the details of the business. Of course, this is not saying that a smart man will not be a greater success with only | a partial knowledge of any business than those who lack shrewdness and have had experience in every detail of any business. know of men who have changed from the ministry to the law, from the groc busine: to real estate, and other li s did not follow. Stic to one be the motto. Grant said he wonld fight it out on the one line if it took all summer. His perseverance brought him succe “J attribute what little degree of success T have met with to my accurate knowledge of every detail of the business. My father put me to work in the shop during vaca- tions when I was going to school, and after T graduated I took charge of the delivery wagon. I next began on the accounts of the office, and so on until every feature of the business had been touched upon. | Travel is a good thing when it can be afforded. I fancy that the trip I took two A. years ago throughout the principal large cities of the East enabled me to vetter ap- reciate the necessities of the butcher usiness at home and better fili r i tion as a prime mover in the oppo: the meat monopoly. 1 believe that it is well for any young man to identify him self with fraternal societies. My trip throughout the East was made much more enjoyable because of my membership in the Masonic order. In short, the same rule of success applies in this business as in any other.” ATRICA NEEDS RAILWATYS. Stanley Says So, and He Also Talks About French Doings in Algeria. The Paris Figaro publishes an account of an interview which its London corre- spondent had witk H. M. Stanley on the subject of African colonization. Mr. Stan- ley is represented to have said in the course of the interview: “The future of Africa belongs to those who shall the soonest and the quickest act on the simple truth that what is wanted is railways to bring travelers back in three days from the Western Soudan to Algeria. “The construction of such railw: would not cost more than 30,000f. per k meter, and with some Tirailleurs as an advance guard, the Tuaregs would leave the working parties alone. When you have 1200 miles of navigable waterway on the Niger—that is to say, almost the entire commerce of that great river—then you wll have ivory, copal, skins, gold, india- rubber, etc. There is indeed, as great a wealth of resources in Africa as in France, as has been proved by the results obtained since 1825 by the English in the South, where gold, diamonds and the rest to-day bring England in 125,000,0001. a year. “Why,”” Mr. Stanley is reported to have continued, ‘‘has France still done nothing with the Niger, although you have many French explorers in its vicinity? The French are very good explorers, and, thanks to them, you know perfectly the topography of the country. But how many years will it be before you know what there is underneath ? Surely there is gold, surely there is coal; perhaps diamonds, but they have to be sought for. To-day the French may despise the Soudan, but the Soudan is for them the means of arriving at the Niger Basin, which is a marvelous garden, provided with a very luxuriant vegetation, and filled with charming spots watered by countless tributaries, whicf‘; will pour into the great river, which is yours, the im- mense wealth of their banks.” In conclusion Mr. Stanley is reported to bave said: *‘The French are still engaged in the policy of annexation. Explorers are constantly on the move, but the time Las now come to set to work. You have | established a military station at Timbuc- (oo, but that is an isolated post connected with no point of the French colony. The river is waiting for the steamboat and the country for its railway. Without them all thosg conquests of yours will remain bar- ren.” —_——————— ‘Women as Schoolteachers. Here are brave words for the “school- marm,” but the special application is rather to England than the United States: “0f old a gentlewoman taught as a last re- source—when starvatlon stared her in the face. Her duty was to marry for a liveli- hood. Any situation in which she worked for daily bread was ‘considered in the light of a degradation.’ The words are Mary ‘Woolstonecraft’s, and she knew ; she began life as a governess. Now teaching for woman is an honorable profession, as it should be. She teaches because she has qualified herself to be a teacher, even asa barrister has equipped himself for the law, a doctor for medicine. Her work is done, not because a husband is not forthcoming, but because the world needs it.”—Boston Jo to real-estate | Decourtieux Jr. ‘ It correspondents neglect to give correct names and addresses they must not be disappointed if there js no answer tothe communication. The names are not for publication, but for reference. Questions will be answered as soon as possible affer they are received. Sometimes an answer cannot be had sooner than three weeks after start- e answers to which will amount to ement of any business or article will not d. s ‘asking for the standing of any in- a1 or firm will not be answered. No questions in arithmetic, algebra or geometry will be wered. Material for debaters will not be furnished, Religious questions respectfully declined. THE Surctpe CLUp—H. City. The New Jersey Suicide Club, from which Frank Smith, the treasurer, was expelled a few days since for failure to put an end to his life after he had | drawn the fatal number, was founded by Wil liam Cornell, a waiter in Van Antwerp’s restau- | rant on Monticello street, New Jersey. Cornell, who is about 50 years old, is the president. The list of membership shows the following names: Paul Frost, Fred Kruger, ex-Police Justice Frank H. Kimmerly, Police Captain Archibald McKaig, Charles Roe, E. C. Hanna, Frank Smith, John Moley, Al Nelson, Henry Schwirten, J. Morrison, G. Galbraith, Gus Schmidthauser, Oscar Fairweather, John P. Smith, Jacob Piercy, William Cornell, Charles Ray and John Connell. The club meets every Wednesday evening in a room which is well lighted, 1s nicely furnished and has a piano. After the business meeting there is singing and recitations and the members have & jolly good time. President Cornell some time ago, in explaining the objects of the club, said: “Our laws are simple enough. Once a year we have & drawing and one of our members has to die in Glendale Park, which is down in the swamp a mile from here toward the Hacken- sack River. He can select his own weapons | and he has about three months’ time after the drawing to do the business. Ii he makes a bad break—that 1s if he does not make & clean job of it—or gets scared and changes his mind about dying he must leave theState.”” The one who drew the fatal number in 1894 was Henry Schiirten, who was the proprietor of the Glen- dale House, and he, as in duty bound, made an attempt to end his life with & revolver, but he made a bungling job of it. One of the by-laws of the club provides that it is the duty of the members of the club to provide entertainment for the living members and care for the rela- tives of the members who carry out their obli- gation. MusicaL CONSERVATORIES—U. G., City. The question, *In what cities of the United States are there any musical conservatories?'’ can be answered only by stating that the term con- servatory is adopted promiscuously in the United States by eny teacher or collection of teachers who choose to use it; in fact the term is as elastie as the title of professor. Accord- ing to the acceptation of the word conserva- tory, on the continent of Kurope, there are no musical conservatories in the United States. Institutions such as the Conservatory of Paris, the Conservatory of Milan and others like these Jare supported by state or municipality, and practically afford a free musical education to talented and ambitious students. Admis- competitive examination, and h and poor siand only on their merits. Musical institutions in the United States not having this Government aid try to make money by fees, and as Ysaye pointed out insthe case of the Chicago ‘“‘conservatory,” the naces- sity to make the institution !elL!up}wrling leads to the professors taking more pupils than they can do full justice to. The instit: ion that comes nearest to_a conservatory on the Efiro- pean plan is the National Conseryatory in York, which is supported by generous private ndividuals, and where ail branches of music nre taught. There are so-called *“conservato- ries” in Chicago, Boston and other cities, but they are only private schools, where such music is taught as the student is willing to pay for. There are no figures that will show the average attendance in such institutions. DEBTS OF GOVERNMENTS—J. W. K., City. The | following is a list of the governments having | debts in excess of $100,000,000: Argentine Republic, §284,867,069; Austria-Hungary, 669,475,740 ; Belgium, 970,825; Brazil, 42,324; France, #5908,055,228; Ger- many (empire proper), $452,417,568; Bavaria $319,716,638 (including railroad debt); Prus- a,$1,501 axony $150,187,380 ;Wur- 53; Great Britian and Ire- 914 ape 8,600 ; ew Zenland, 3 , $143,161,671 South Australia, $103,181,202; Victoria, $229, 121,571 ; Greece, $145,729.695; Italy, $2,200, ndia,3 Canada, 592499 Jupan, $299,446,090; Mexico, $174,- 449)510: Netherlands, $430,154,233; Peru, ; Portugal, $568,847,620; Rou: 503,823; Russia, $4,319,987,677; Spain, §1.637 e 73,554,555 Turkey, $799,941,955; Turkey in Egypt, £533, 245,451; Uruguay, $104,072,739. T'he debt of China before the war was estimated at $24,- 200,000. The amount incurred during the war has not yet been made public. On the 1st of November, 1894, the debt of the United States was ,626,154,037 38. On the 1st of June, 1895, according (o the statement issued srom the Treasury Departent, it was $1,097, 773, 3! : THE RI1GHT T0 Assess—M. L. B., Summit, Plu- mas County, Cal. District Attorney Webb of Plumas County is correct in his statement that under the law of Celifornia County Assessors have the right to assess property in the name of the person claiming it, even 1f it is a_home- stead claim, to which the Goverument has not yet given a patent. The law says that the County Assessors “must assess the property to the persons by whom it was awned or claimed, or in whose possession it was at 12 o’clock M. on the first Monday of March next preceding the time of assessment” One who is securing a piece of land from the Government has A possessory right of the same, and that brings him within the meaning of the law. Many persons are of the opinion that the assessment of such pro erty until the Government issues a patent is illlegzal, but it has never been judicially so de- clared. CITY OF CHESTER—H. D. M., City, Onthe22d of August, 1888, the steamer City of Chester left this port bound for the north, and after passing Alcatraz Island entered a fogbank. Before the fog raised she collided with the Oceanic, bound in from China. In ashorttime the Chester sank and & number of people, thir- teen, were drowned. The investigation proved that both vessels were going too fast for foggy weather, therefore, the piiot, Louis Meyer, and Captain Metcalfe of the Oceanic and Captain Wallace of the Chester were suspended and their licenses revoked. The gross tonnage of the Oceanic is 3808, length 420 feet, breadth 40:9 feet, depth 23:4 feet. She was built in Belfast in 1871. The gross tonnlge of the Cit; of Chester was 1106, length 202 feet, bmd!{ 33:2 feet, depth 15:9 feet. She was built in Chester, Pa., in 1875, ILLEGAL CoNTRACTS.—T. A. F., City. If labor- ers should come here under contract from & foreign country and should succeed in landing, such laborers conld not legally be prevented from leaving the State in which they landed and forced to carry out the terms of their con- tract on the ground that they had not worked out the amount of iheir passage moneg and ‘money advanced, for the reason that such con- tracts are illegal and the courts wili not en- force an illegal contract. It is probable that in certain cases laborers of this character have been frightened into a belief that if they did not remain at work until they earned the amount advanced they would be sent to prison, and under that fear worked until they had paid up what was demanded. Nor Exempr—A. O, 8, Oskland, Cal. The fact that a man “had been in continuous ser- vice in the militia or National Guard of this State from 1866 until 1892, when he was must- ered out with his epmfpn:g, having at that time been a commissioned officer for nine years,” does not exempt him from the pay- ment of poll tax. The law which at one time exempted the militia from the payment of such atax was swept out of existence by the new constitution, The law now is that every male inhabitant of this State over 21 and under 60 ears of age must annually pay a poll tax of $2. 'he only exception made by the consttituion is in favor of paupel idiots, insane persons and Indians not taxe A VALID MARRIAGE—H. W., Sacramento, Cal. All marriages contracted out of the State of California which would be valid by the laws of the countryin which the same were contracted are valid in California. The Legislature of a State can pass laws only for the government of the persons and property within its territorial limits; therefore if a State declares that a divorced person cannot marry again until tw has been granted it applies only to persons while within the territorial limits of the State, but if a aivorced person should go to another State and there marry, the marriage being le- gal under the laws of that State, such marriage would be recognized as valid herc. DistaNces—H. W., City. The distance from the CaLy office, 710 Market street, to the corner of Gough and Grove streets in an air line is 6800 feet; via Market to McAllister, to Gough, 10 Grove, it is 7600 feet. The distance from the same starting point in an air line to Baker street at the entrance to the panhandle of the Park is 11,800 feet; to the entrance to the ark at Stanyan street it is 15,600 feet; via Market to Oak, to Baker, it is 12,400 feet, and via the same streets to Stanyan it is 23,400 feet. From the entrance to the panhandle to the bouleyard at_the western end of the park the distance in ir 1ine is 20,000 feet, and from that point to the site of the CLff House it is 3600 feet more. , OLD CorNs—J. B., American Gravel Pit, Yolo County, ‘‘Money,” San Jose, and C. F. T., City. The motto‘‘In God We Trust” was not placed on American coins until 1864. Coins issued prior to that date are not very scarce. The selling value of a $10 gold piece of 1847 is from $13 50 to $15. alers charge from $2 50 to $3 for a dollar of 1871. They charge from $13 50 to $15 for a $10 piece of 1849, and from $12 50 to $15 for a %10 piece of 1850. A hali-dollar piece of 1812 may be purchased for from $1 to $1 75; one of 1828 is worth from 85 cents to $1. A copper cent of 1820 is not in demand by dealers, but they can be purchased at various prices from 35 cents to $2. SHIRT Bosoms—A. C. 8., City. Shirt bosoms, collars and cuffs are made stiff and glossy by the use of gum urabic starch. The recipe is as follows: Take two ounces of fine white gum arabic and pound it to 8 powder. Next put in a pitcher and pour on it & pint or more ot boil- ing water, according to the degree of strength desired, then cover it and set it for the night. In the morning 1:)?1‘" it carefully from the dregs into a clean bottle, cork it and keep it for use. A tablespoonful of this gumwater stirred into a pint of starch that has been made in the usual manner will give & beautiiul gioss to the article named. IN CoxwisstoNy —F. A., Alameda, Cal. The following are the vessels of the United States Navy in commission: New York, Vesuvius, Atlanta, Marblehead, Columbia, Newark, Yan- tio; Castine, Chicago, San Frangisco. Philadel- hia, Monferey, Bennington, Adams, Alert, Mohican, Ranger, _Baltimore, Monocacy, Charleston, Concord, Petrel, Yorktown, Detroft, Machias, Pinta, Dolphin, Michigen, Fern, Thetis, Cushing, Essex, Portsmouth, Bancroft, St. Mary, Saratoge, Enterprise, Dale, Wabash, Vermont, Richmond, Constellation, Frankli Minnesofa, Independence, Montgomery, Cin- cinnati, Raleigh and Olympia. POSTAL CARD—O. 8., City. The answer to the questions, “To what extent may a postal eard be used to notify a man that he owes a bill and that an early settlement is desired? is it un- lawful to stafe the amount of his bill and tell him to come and settle?’ is that a postal card cannot be used for such a purpose. The U States postal law prohibits the use of postal cards for the purpose of dunning people. Such prohibition has been in effect for a number of vears and was put into force when many col- leotion agencies commenced to use the cards | for the purpose of notifying people that they must come and settle. DROWNTY I.de B., City. On the 12th of May last two young men, who went swimming in the Russian River near Fulton, were drowned. The first sank to the bottom and his body was not recovered until some time after. The second one was taken from the water and an attempt made to resuscitate him, but it was futile. In the absence of any medi- cal testimony it is impossible to tell if there was life in the body at the time it was brought ashore, but the presumption is that there was none. NomMAL SCHOOLS — Lumen, City. There is considerable difference between the normal class in this City and the Normal School in San Jose._In the jormer the term is only one year, and in the latter it isa full course, running over more than one year. Those who have graduated in the High schools of this City can enter the normal class, but those who have graduated in institutions other than in the ublic schools must undergo &n examination. For information about the San Jose Normal Echool write to “The Principal, Normal School, San Jose, Santa Clara County, Cal.” PupLicScHooLs—C. F., City. The rules of the Board of Education of this City declare that the eyening schools are established to afford means of education to boys and_girls who are unable to attend the day schools and to adults who may wish to avail themselves of the privileges they afford; but no pupil shall be aamitted to an evening school unless prevenied {rom ate tending day echool by reason of regular occu- pation, ex2ept by permission of the Committes on Rules. EARTHQUARES—J. A. F,, City. On the 14th of June, 1865, there was & shock of earthquake in San Francisco; on the Sth of October there were two shocks, and two were felt on October 9.

THE BROTHER JONATHAN—C. N. F., City. The steamer Brother Jonathan was lost on July 31, 1863, about ten miles northwest of Crescent City. She was on her way from Portland to n Francisco, under command of Captain de olff, and when near Crescent City struck on a sunken Tock, going down in forty-five fathoms of water. Of 250 passengers on board only nineteen were saved. No SEcoNp ENTRY—J. W. B, City. If a citi- zen who once held a claim to 160 acres of land under the homestead laws relinquished the same to the Government of the United States he is berred from taking up another claim, as the law allows but one homestead privilege, so if a settler abandons or relinguishes his claim he cannot make a second entry. SUPREME COURT COMMISSIONERS—J. S, H., Modesto, Stanislaus County, Cal. The next meeting of the Supreme Court Commissioners for the purpose of examining candidates for admission to the bar will be held on the 24th of this month. THREE HoTELS—Oaklander, Oakland, Cal. The Russ House in San Francisco was opened on the 8th of April, 1862; the Lick House was opened on the 2d of July, 1862. The Occi- dental Hotel was also opened in 1862, some time before the 30th of June. DAxoTA Laxps—0. H. H., City.

Graham, a skilled electrician, who re- sides at 15 Eddy street, San Francisco, makes the following statement to the public: “I have been treated by the physiciansof the Hudson Medical Institute for 4 chronic disease of long standing, and as I am more than pleased with thelr treatment, having been thoroughly restored 10 perfect health, which I was vears in seeking, I write this s a testimonial of thelr skill and gentle- “Instruments were used on mo that seemed for- midable to the view, with the delicacy of experts. The various physicians who had my case in charge used thes ingtruments to my good. I had tried many physicians in the East, but found no benefit. 1 can safely say the physicians of the Hudson Medi- cal Institute have made a permanent cure in my case. 1know it is permanent, for I have seen the disease slowly but gradually leave my brdy. “Any one suffering from a chronic disease wonld do well to consult the physicians of the Hudson Medical Institute. as T have received untold benefit under their treatment. I will fully answer all com- munications in regard to the good treatment I re- ceived, and if any one will write to George C. Graham, 15 Eddy street, room 19, they will be sure 10 get an answer. (Signed.) GEORGE C. GRAHAM."” The phenomenal skill of the speclalists of the Hudson Medical Institute in curing chronic cases o long standing that have baflied other physicians is becoming more apparent daily. Large numbers of testimonials from persons whom these physi- cians have cured that have been published for months past in the daily newspapers are evidences that cannot be dovbted. Many Of these testimo- nials are from well-known citizens, and a good many of them are sworn to before a Nowary Public. New statements are constantly appearing. They come from all parts of the country. They are not confined to San Mexico, from Mr. cas, Mexico. He stated that he was permanently cured of a chronic ailment in a short time. So does Mr. Edward N. Peterson of 205 0’ Farrell street, San Francisco. Mr.’M. F. Whitman, Montpelier. Tdaho, says: “God bless you and 'your institute.
