PALMER'S NAVY.
•—The Millionaire .Tynesider who was once ■ a Cool-man.— Sir Charles Palmers Romantic Life-story. — If you will cross the coaly Tyne from Newcastle, and take train a little way down. the. river, you will come to one of the newest and most remarkable towns in, England. It is interesting in many resp«cts a* a, town that has grown up in half a century, and it is unique in this: that it is the- creation of one man. Fwell remember tine first time I got off at the station, and asked the man in ohm-go, "Where is Palmer's?*' With' a sweep of the hand he took in the whole town of 50,000 people, and declared, "That is Palmer's." It is like Essen, where th,o firm of Krupp dominate everything, and everything depends on them. Here Palmer made Jarrow, and the town exists because of the nxm. The man who has achieved this triumph oi industiy is Sir Charles Mark I'almer, new 83 years of age, and only just begun to feel the weight of years- He has done a huge share of the world's work in jiis time, and has contributed something to tho greatness of England.
