|SCHIFF And MORGAN.
They Are the Two Greatest Finan-
ciers of Wall Street.
Something About che Aggressive He
brew Banker Who WON the
Northern FaciHc Fight and
BouEht the ReadinE.

The man who could best wear the
mantle az Mr.. j. r. Morgan, II that
~anancier should leave Wall street, is
!ir. Jacob II. Schiff, according to Rob-
trt N. Burnett, who contributes a
sketch Of the banker To the Cosmo-
P~olitan. in its Captains Of Industry"
series,
Mr.. Schiff It was. so Mr.. Burnett tells
rs, that really won from j. pierpont
Morgan and James j, Hill the famous
fighi for the control Of the Northern
Pacific. While Mr.. Hartman appeared
more prominently on this occasion,
MIR. Schiff was the power behind the
throne" Furthermore, MIR. Schiff can
net only fight and win, but can COM
promise. He voluntarily suggested
that Mr.. Morgan be empowered to
name the new board Of directors of
the Northern Pacific which should rep
resent both sides and agree to unite
on q plan for the joint control of the
road. Then he further showed his gem
crosby by allowing the u~nfortunates
who had been SHORT" of Northern Pa
cific to cover their contracts at the
nominal price of $50 per share, when
he might have compelled payment of
two or three times that amount.
Mr.. Schiff's ability as a f~inancier wls
first brought before the public several
years ago by the reorganization Of
the Union Pacific railway aud the set
Element of the debt to the government.
Later he took a hand in the purchase
of the Chicago a. Alton, and also in the
acquisition of the Southern Pacific.
The firm of which he is the head, Kuhn,
Loeb & Co, is frequently employed by
such great concerns as the Pennsyl-
yania and Baltimore & Ohio railroads
TO conduct their largest financial oper-
ations.

fnanciering which placed Mr.. Schiff

to seek for excellence in perform
nee rather than of performer. At
each, leading actors are often invited
to assume minor roles. Theater-
goers thus have the comfortable as
surance that every character VIII re-
ceiye adequate representation, and
that the resultant whole will be con-
sistently artistic. The emphasis Of
this principle should be character
istic of next years performances at
the Metropolitan opera house under
Mr.. Conried's direction. The audi
ence will have an opportunity to
hear, not merely singers, but operas.
The new manager of the greatest
opera house in the world has always
accomplished much with little. The
Irving Place theater, which he has
directed for ten years. is not a -four
ishing institution. But its perform
ances have attracted attention quite
out of proportion to the Importance
of a downtown playhouse presenting
dramas in a foreign tongue. The
high artistic purpose of the manager,
his accomplishments with limited IA
c~ilities, and his struggles to have his
theater educational and representative
made him the most conspicuous of
New York theatrical managers From
that night in 1872 when he spoke the
prologue at the opening Of the Resi-
denz theater in Vienna and began his
theatrical career, he has advanced
steadily. He acted successfully in
Leipsic and Bremen; he had the man
agement of the Stadt theater in Bre-
men, where he had his only operate
experience, and in 1877 he came to
the united States as stage director of
the Germania theater. Since that time
he has brought to New York all the
most noted German actors. He has
obtained consistently artistic results
with material meal that would have
discouraged most experienced and am
bilious managers.
