¢ “FROM THE SWITCH LEVER TO THE HEAD OF A RAIL ® NGDOOODOOUOHOOOOQOOHOIOQHOS: W. H. Newman, New York Central’s New President, Had a Long and Rapid Rise. “A man's Iifework comes to him like bis religion—by accident. But tt ts the man alone that can carve out his own destiny. If one's father is a baker he to son ts the general rule. But as for the rafiroad business—well, my advice to young men contemplating entering it ta don't. The roadbed !s rough, and for @ long stretch of weary way the rails are laid without ties. There are dark tunnels and many washouts, and there @re more fing stations than central de- pots.” * ‘Thus spoke William H. Newman, who Bad just assumed his official duties as President of the New York Central and Hudson River Raiiroad, to a reporter of the Evening World. From a switchman he has worked his way up to the. fore- most rallwa~ position in the, United Btates. As he himself expressed it he bad just put on his new harness and had not yet got all the buckles fastened. But the harness fits him. He leaned for- ward in the chalr at his new desk with the alr of a man who Js not at all wor- Fied at the job before him. He arrived in New York only yester- @ay trom Cleveland, but he began his omce hours at once. From 9 o'clock In fe morning tll 1 P. M. he goes throush Bis work with the regulurity of the planetary system. At 1 he goes out for luncheon, and remains tll 3, and from that hour ull 5.50 1. M. he Keeps stead- fly at nin task.” He believes in being his oWn general manager, so ux to keep In touch with every Hitle detail of the reat system over which he has charge. ‘hat means wo Aithough Mr, ignates himself man smilingly dew- ‘a new hand,” he ts familiar with every rall on the New York Central. He learned all thin while President of the Lake Shore and Michi- gan Southern, He was us cool as ff alt * ting at his old desk in Cleveland, The new President 1s a bl dia general characteristica h at frst glance J. Plerpont er by several inches and #ome- what broader acrom the shoulders, He has a large head. His hair in heavy and of a dark gray color. Add to is a Mkewise is apt to make bread. From sire | ..4, etrong, rather florid face, with a full gray mustache and you have a fairly good picture of the new President. On the first day at the office in the Grand Central Station he was dressed in A tweed “pepper-and-salt”” sult. He Wore a broad high collar with the points well turned down, surmounted with long black-and-white tle. Mr. Newman is Careful in his dteas. there in one thing he dislikes it ts “I have not hai f taken in thirty am willing to give the newspapers everything about the railroad that.ts tateresting to the pub- le. but ploase keep me out.of it. In the present Thétance Mr. Newman's etn the exception. He wan sketched by the Evening World artist as he nat at his desk. “The chances of a switchman rising to. the position of President of a rall- road are as good to-day as they ever were." continued Mr. Newman. “It is simply a question of perseverance, hard work and attention to duty, Of course there mue: be the opportunity, but the young man must grasp the opportunity when it comes to him. Tle railroad business ts a hard one to follow. Would not advise any young man to go Into it. “In my own case I wan thrown Into it by force of circumstances. 1 was born in Virginia and spent my early. life in the South. The war made it neces.’ newspaper notoriety. fn plcture of myael years," said he. y | finger ups. sary for me to do something—anything. T accepted the first thing that offered, But that ts of no moment. I believe jhat circumstances block out the way or us. “Ot course, my task here will not be entirely new to me, An President of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern 1 became more or Jess familiar with the workings of the New York Central. You may say that my only policy In to make this the bes: organized and best working rallway that I can. rs “The railroad busiuess of the United States fins evolved into a mighty scl- ence, It {s not a mere handling of freight and passenger care. Moves must be made, like the changes on a chessbonrd. Not only must a ratlroad prosident know his own lines—each rall und side awitch, almost, I was golnk to say, each section boss—but he must know the smallest details of the compet- ing lines, He must know whut road Is Mkely to cut into him here and what road in to cross his business there. He must know the markets, He must ‘have the fluctuations of the rtocks at his In a word, he must be an encyclopedia, a compendiuin of business knowledge and a gazetteer of railway and sthamboat iin “It in work, we young man has plucl domitable energy: work. Unless a unless he has ine unless he has the strength of a Hercules, 1 say when he talks to me about the railroad business ag a life avocation—Don't!' " Mr. Newman will doubtless be the lant President of the Lake Shore Raflroad.

DALY NOT A CATHOLIC. Widow of Copper King Says Daugh- tera Were Al copalians. Vriends of the late Marcus Daly, who remembered him as a devout member of the Catholic Church, were surprised at fact that his daughter, Mies Mary Daly, was married to James W. Gerard by Bishop Potter, Mrs. Daly explained to-day that though Mi 13 Catholic, she was ai were all her children, allowed her to raise own felth, ROAD. It is said that the New York Central Will adopt the system of the Pennsyl- | Vania, placing Ite subsidiary Ines under the management of, 'e-prealdents. dd that the Vice-Pregident of the ‘ork Central will perform the du- of the President of the Lake Shore under the direction of Mr. Newman. At present he is the President of both ronds until the meeting of the directors late this month. Mr. Newman has been in the ratiroad business for thirty-two years. He started In as a «witchman at a lever, | also acting as telegraph ongrator. He | has no fads except that he hater a clen- rette and a pipe, but as for a K cleat—well, that {s all right, It IN ' GOT OUT. The Food Cure Brought Her Out with Flying Colors. A_lady In Laurence, Ind., Mra. M. C. Waring, was a poor judge of food and also a worker in Iterary and ed- ucational lines, where she exhausted her vitality because of the bad com- bination of a load of work and poorly selected food to rebuild her. She was using hot cakes for break- fast, meat, coffee, &c., and gradually lost ground until she became a total wreck, She says, “I was so reduced that the slightest noise brought a cold perspiration all over me. Sleep was out of the question and my appe- tite was gone. I was apprehensive of all sorts of disaster. I became really very {l. I was on the verge of losing my mind when one day a friend who sat at my bedside remarked that she would bring me something nice to eat. Sure enough when she came over she had a dainty luncheon on a tray with pretty decorated china dishes, &c. A cup held some coffee, as I sup- posed, and a dish held some hard, brown granules, and she told me that was Grape-Nuts Food, whereas the Mquid was Postum Coffee. I liked the taste of the Grape-Nuts with a little cream and ate all of It. After some persnasion I drank the Postum Coffee and that night was the | most peaceful night I had enjoyed in months, and when [ awakened In the morning I found the Grape-Nuts package on the table near my bed, and I had some for breakfast with some Postum Coffee. I at once began to feel better and | discarded all kind of medicine, stim- ulants, narcotics, and used only Grape-Nuts' four times a day with Postum Coffee. At the end of thirty days I left my bed and after three months building up on Grape-Nuts Food and the famous Postum, I have taken up my literary work, working harder than ever making up for lost time, Mental strains have no more ter- rors for me. I keep my mental fac- ulties clear, All my Inner organs have become clear and healthy so [ never know I have any, yet I work and study sixteen hours out of the twenty-four on an average. I often wonder what has become of those dreadful norves. Things that former- ly disturbed me now seem trifies. A healthy body is a happy body, so { go about singing and happy, come sunshine or rain. Grape-Nuts and Postum lifted me out of o sick bed, and Grape-Nuts Food has since brought my little daughter through a severe case of scarlet fever. Grape- Nuts was the only food she could take and the doctor sald she would have died had {t not been for the ourlahment given her by Grape-Nuts Food. Do you wonder we believe in the famaus food?" There fs a reason why: the Postum Coffee and Grape Nuts are towers of strength In times of trouble. Any- ‘one can learn the fact and the resson if they care to make searching in- quiry, The Company furnishes the details, but it is auMficient to most ir, Daly was a 8 Blasopalian as Mr.. dav! ihe chilaren in het! people to know that whereas they have been poorly treated, and per- haps wrecked with disease from im- proper food, the change to Grape- ba and Postum- has. mede ‘them wel 6 ‘ THE WORLD: ‘THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 6, 19013 HE COMETH NOT, SHE SAID.| IDENTIFIED BY LATCH-KEY.
