a number of fellow townsmen to the hotel to seethe lad it would do the young fellow more good

than medicine. The town the lad hailed fromwas not a large one, and there were not usuallymany visitors at one time in this city from thatplace Inland, however, decided he would getevery one from that town who was staying inthe city to call on the young man, provided they

knew him."Business at the hotel at the time was very

brisk and a few hours away from the hotel

meant a big sacrifice to the proprietor. Lelandsent word to nearly every hotel proprietor with

whom he was acquainted that if they had any

guests staying at their places hailing from thisparticular town to send their names to htm. ashe wanted to get in touch with them as quickly

as possible. In two days he, found seven young

men in the city who had a home in this town.

No matter how well built or superbly located

an apartment house or hotel may be, the *tru^-ure will be a poor Investment ifit is not effi-ciently managed. Some managers can trans-

form nn old building in an almost inaccessibledistrict from an unattractive into a popular

structure. One manager succeeded in making

such a change by peeking prospective visitors to

the city and inducing them to stay at his house.

made perfectly at home, and besides they re-

ceived many pleasant surprises from the man-

The following nireless dispatch has been re-ceived from the T-usitania: "10 o'clock. TheLiusitania

The Lusitania took out about 1.400 passen-gers, 350 of which were in the first and Nt in

the second cabin. A number of persons whohad made up their minds suddenly to start forEurope rushed to th» pier at the last minut°and arranged for transportation aboard, .' P.I\lorgan remained on the pier until the sterner\u25a0was well out in the river.

['Squalls Compel Anchoring Until

Tide Fully Rises in Channel.

The bis Cunarder rniJlaiiia which was sched-uled to sail yesterday at 3 p. m..did not actually

pet under way down the North River until 3:45p. m. An enthusiastic crowd waved a "boa voy-

age" to her from the pier. There were fullyMmany persons lining the pier sheds along the

v.aterfront yesterday as when she came to port

a week ago Friday. Fully an hour before she-tailed the Battery wall from the Barge Office|to Pier A was almost impassable, and when

her siren was heard there was a mad rush for a

Ipood view of the bigliner.Shortly before 2 o'clock two of the Lusltania's

forward driving propellers began to churn the

•water. It is customary to try a steamer's rn-

pines slowly before she backs out Into the river.

Although the big blades made only a few revo-

lutions, the impetus was sufficient to send the

l.if: mass of thirty-two thousand tons of steel

forward as far as the bulkhead, snapping off

the 4-inch steel hauser from the starboard bow

as ifit were a piece of twine. The parting of

the strands made a report sharper and louderthan the crack of a rifle, and there was much

excitement on the outer part of the pier near

the bulkhead when the sharp steel bow moved

forward. For a -while it seemed as if it wouldplough through the pier Umbers, but by the time

It reached the bulkhead the force had been

ppent. There was no damage. There was much

alarm on the inner piex when passengers saw

the gangplanks carried along with the steamer.

Those who were going aboard Jumped to the

j>!sr just in time, and no one was hurt.

All lines were cast off at 1:28 o'clock and the

t>i££e«t passenger steamer afloat backed out Intomid-stream. Captain Watt and Edward Young,

the pilot, took their lime in swinging the mon-

ster around, and tally half an hour elapsed be-

fore the Lusitania actually got under way for

Sandy Hook. She went down the river slowly.

and when midway between the Statue of Lib-

erty and aTaiihln s Reef Light sbe came to a

dead 5-tnp for fullysix minutes. The hour for

Mi hash water at Sandy Hook was 7:28. andthe Lusitania -was in no great hurry to enter

the Ambrose Channel drawing 34 feet 5 Inches

of water. As the boat was half a mile from

the channel the storm broke, and. evidently pre-

ferring to wait rather than run the risk ofgrounding, it csbbmb to anchor off the AtlanticYacht Club for an hour.

Calumet. Mich.. Bet*. 21.—There are few signs

of retrenchment among the Lake Superior copper

mining companies as yet as a result- of the fall

in the price Of copper. It is true that last month a

production was considerably less than In the pre-

vious month, but whether this -evas the result of

accident or design it is difficult to say.

Considerable interest is attached to v.hat actionthe Calumet and Hecla Mining Company will take

In the present situation. This company always haskept aloof from any combination of interests In

the copper trade. Itis not known whether It will

curtail Its production or continue the even tenor

of its way.. By co-operating with the other com-

panies it is believed that the Calumet and Hecla

would do much In assisting to restore the coppermetal manfcet to a stable and confident basis.

Whether or not the Important Lake Superior pro-

ducers other than the Calumet and Hecla will re-

duce iheir production is not yet known. M is pre-

Mimed that the Bi elow group of mines, which are

affiliated with the Amalgamated interests through

the United Metals Selling Agency, which disposes or

their product, will follow the same line of action as

the Butte and Arizona mines, providing it is deemed

expedient. Several years ago the Bipelow proper-ties curtailed their production when the metal

reached a low price level.There arc now Bpproadmatels; 3o.ooo,ooo pounds of

rerinod copper in the hands dPthe Michigan pro-

ducers in the lake districts, but th: stock Is being

reduced rapidly by large shipments to the East

It is expected that practically all of the copper

accumulation here willbe shipped East before the

close of navigation on the lakes.

hotel or an apartment house." said a well known

boniface yesterday to a number of old friends.•\u25a0I \^ for many years a very intimate friend ofthe late Warren Leland. who, i consider, wasone of the best hotel managers In this city, i

remember speaking to him about his success as

a hotel manager and proprietor, and [asked himfor some advice, as Iseemed destined to stay in

the hotel business. He said. 'My bojv? pet 1,,

right and stay right.' When I told him hismeaning was not very clear to me he replied:

•What advice Ihave to give may be conveyed toyou by telling you the story of the experience

of a young friend of mine who for a year or two

aw* managed a hotel in New York City De-sirous of becoming a hotel proprietor himself, he

asked son of his rich guests if they would be*

come partners of his, the terms being that they

were to furnish the necessary capital and hewas to manage the hotel, all partners to Ret anequal share of the profits. He never doubtedhis ability as a manager. He was certain that

he more than any other man. was made to be

the greatest hotel manager, and that ifany onehad asked him if be could successfully manage

any hotel in the world he would have quickly

answered In the affirmative, with considerableemphasis.

•••Having decided to take the place he waspositive lie was called to fill,he invited severalwell known hotel brokers and real estate men tovisit him and to have a long talk with himabout hotels which wire to lease. He told the

hotel brokers and real estate men he wanted to

gel control of the best hotel to be had. In theiropinion the best hotel was the one which costthe most money, and was the last one built. Hospent one or two days inspecting the hotel andthen he signed the lease, which was the begin-ning of his undoing. His imaginary radiance asa hotel manager hid from him the defects of thehotel, which, in spite of its great cost, was notbuilt on the best lines. Even Ifthe glaring de-fects of the hotel had been pointed out to Mmhe probably would have paid no attention to

them and"

continued in his headlong flight

toward failure. Ishall name one of the princi-pal shortcomings of that hostlery. and that wasthe engine room."

'The engines \u25a0which furnished the heat andlight for the building, and also power for theelevators, burned more coal each month thantwo hotels of similar size. Then ho took overthe hotel from the former proprietor, who wasglad to be relieved of his burden at any cost, ata sum considerably larger than the yearly rentalfigure of the old lease. Next, when he added thetotal sum of the rates for suites and the moneyfrom the dining service, etc . he found that thenet Income was considerably smaller than th«expenses. So he Increased the rates for therooms and the charges for thf dinner service, andstill the expenses were greater than the returns,By this time a large part of the capital investedin the project had been spent in operating thehotel, and a little later all the capital was gone

and he failed. He did rot get In right, and hetherefore could not get right. Carefully studythe possibilities of success before you begin, andthe chances are you will get in right,and once,you are in right stay right. By staying right Imean you must give the very best service you

of a building lacking many of the features of theaverage house and having no especial featuresof its own is almost certain to meet with failure.If an offer is mado to me to take control of anapartment house or hotel.
