YOUNG MEN’S WORK.
A Mighty Enterprise and the
Power Behind it.
HARNESSING OF NIAGARA.
Short But Remarkable Busi-
ness Careers—Young Men’s
G: it and Enterprise.
New Voiik. D e 13 —The influence of
young men in the development of Elec
tricity for commercial purposes was very
strikingly illustrated on the occasion of
a recent, examination by a company of
distinguished public men and capitalists
of the work which is being done at Ni
agar . falls to utilize the colossal power
whicn has hitherto gone to waste over
that precipice. The capitalists in the
party were for the most part men of ma
ture years. Some of them represented
the great business centers of the west,
New York, Philadelphia and Boston.
The aggregate capital commanded by
them and those with whom they are as
sociated is nearly half a billion dollars.
But those of that party who had
tempted these capitalists to invest many
millions of dollars in these works were
young men. noue of them-being over 40
years of hge. One, Mr. Frank Hawley,
is just 85. and in a comparatively short
business career has revealed that the
republic and especially electricity com
mercially developed afford opportuni
ties in which any persevering young
man taking advantage of can find for
tune. It is only a few years ago that
Mr. Hawley, being a poor boy in Roch
ester, or, as he now smilingly says, hav
ing had a curbstone education in his
youth, was working 18 hours a day in
order to conquer adverse circumstance.
lie was accustomed to rise by 4 o'clock
every morning to take care of three or
four horses and to do other work around
a place which could be done in the early
hours, and for this he received $2 a week.
At 9 o'clock he entered a law office,
where he was employed as clerk, and
where he studied law when his duties as
clerk would permit. There he staid all
day, ami for that servico received a very
small sum.
In the early evening Mr. Hawley be
gan the duties in connection with one of
the Rochester newspapers—sitting at his
desk or reporting in the evening until
midnight, then turning in for a few
hours' sleep. The capacity for such la
bor afteTn'few years brought Mr. Haw
ley to the attention of men who appre
ciated Ins diligence, and he was placed
in responsible posts, in which lie revealed
executive qualities of the highest order.
But he had secured this victory at very
great cost. His work had produced pa
ralysis of the optic nerve of one eye and
a sympathetic trouble of tho other, so
that it has caused him partial blindness.
With his first considerable earnings
Mr. Hawley purchased the country place
of the late Jarvis Lord, who was very
prominent in New York state affairs for
many years, and there he has been teach
ing lessons to the farmers of New York
state, which some of them have been fol
lowing with very great profiff. With a
great herd of Jersey cows he supplies
butter contracted for long ahead and at
a high and unvarying price

he who recently
Pirated the feasibility of electricity for
such purposes. Yet ho is only 85 years
of age.
Another member of the party was
Nicola Tesla, one of tho wizards of elec
tricity but a little over 89 years of age,
and a few years ago a student and em
ployee in some of the Edison works.
Tesla is the young scientist who aston
ished the world of electrical experts by
demonstrating that it was possible to
create an electric current which would
pass through space without any other
medium than ether, and in doing so would
light an incandescent lamp held in b's
hand. The future possibilities which lio
in this discovery it is impossible now to
estimate, but incidentally out of them
there is one which may be of immediate
commercial advantage, for it seems to
have solved a problem which has per
plexed electricians for some years. That
is the problem of the transmission of
electric power for great distances with
out such loss as to make it commercially
impracticable.
Tesla’s discovery and his mechanical
appliances for the utilization of it may
possibly give to the United States ulti
mateijkpr at least to that portion of it

Potomac and Ohio rivers, the power
which now flows over Niagara falls and
goes to waste. It seems to be fairly well
demonstrated- that this power can be
transmitted now at least' 800 miles, and
if it can be carried thus far it seems to be
a mere question of the amount of water
which shall be diverted from the falls
for the creation of power how far it may
be carried tn the future.
Mr. Francis Lynde Stetson, who was
the law partner of President Cleveland
and who is the organizing force of this
great public enterprise, is a young man
only a little past 40. Mr. George West
inghouse, Jr., one of the most romantic
of American inventors in his experiences,
and who is interested more as a scientist
than a capitalist, is also a young man,
being only 46, and that young Niagara
Falls lawyer, Mr. Rankin, who as a boy
used to sit by the banks of the falls not
so much absorbed in their majesty as in
wondering why that enormous water
power should go to waste and who was
the first to conceive the idea of organiz
ing great capital in order to secure it, is
l.ss than 35 years of age.

Many preparations contain strong chem

an injurious effect, not only upon the skin,
but upon the whole system, although at
first they seem very beneficial, on account
of their powerful action and temporary
