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.

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 IT'S A SECRET— that many women °"° their beauty t° )r ' t ierce ’ s Fa- vorite Prescription. \\fzjW’ •is' C) The reason—beau- S s \V_tt»s« 11 *y of t°rm and iv,X> J® , ?*/ face, as well as r" xyV t» **/ p ace, radiate from X/r'X \ H the common center (rd \ 'JI v*? —health.

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.
