SCHIFF AND MORGAN
Thew Are the Two Greatest Flnan'
ciers of Wall Street.
somethinr About the Aggressive He
brew Banker Who Won inc
Northern Pacific Fight and
Bought the Reading.

The man who could best wear the
mantle of Mr.. j. P. Morgan, if that
financier should leave Wall street. Is
Mr.. Jacob III. Schiff. according TO hoo-
ar, \ Burnett, who contributes
sketch of the banker to the losno
nolitau, in its Captains of INDUSTRY
series.
Mr. Scbiff IL was, so Mr.. Burnett tells
us. that really won from D. flerPoh'
Morgan and James j. Hill the famous
fight for the control of the Northern
Pacific. While Mr.. Hartman appeared
more prominently on this OCCASION
Mr.. Schiff was the power Dehlnd inc
throne, Furthermore, Mr.. Schiff can
not only fight and win, but can com
promise. He voluntarily suggested
that Mr.. Morgan be empowered 20
name the new board of directors OF
the Northern Pacific which should rep
resent both sides and agree to unite
on a plan for the joint control of the
road. Then he further showed his gem
crosby by allowing the unfortunates
who had been short of Northern Pa
cific to cover their contracts at the
nominal price of $3.50 per share, when
he might have compelled payment OF
two or three times that amount.
Mr.. Schiff's ability as financier was
first brought before the public several
years ago by the reorganization OF
the Union Pacific railway and the set
Element of the debt to the government.
Later he took a hand in the purchase
of the Chicago & 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 Pennsyi-
vania and Baltimore & Ohio railroads
to conduct their largest financial oper
ations.
One of the most recent feats OF
6nanciering which placed Mr.. Schif'
among the mighty mep of Wall street

Speed in Construction.

Solomon's temple was about seven
years in building, but it stood for
centuries. No one can estimate ac-
curately the life of modern steel
structure, which comes into being in
remarkably quick time. In a recent
instance in New York an apartment
hotel was completed, leased and sold
in less than IA months after the pur-
chase of the site. The actual work
of construction was done in less than
ten months, although this was ~
and-a-half story building, which COW
cred lot 7lx100 feet, and contained
more than 200 rooms. These marvels
do not come by chance. Every bolt
and rivet is planned ard provided
for before the foundation is laid. and
a perfect system controls the gangs
of workmen, who carry on the most
diverse operations without getting in
one another's way.

to seek for excellence in perform
ance 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 will re-
ceive 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 -four
ishing institution. But its perform
ances have attracted attention quite
out OF proportion to the importance
Of downtown playhouse presenting
dramas in a foreign tongue. The
high artistic purpose of the manager,
his Accomplishments with limited IA
cilities. 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 means that would have
discouraged most experienced and am
| bilious managers.

was the purchase of a majority of the
stock of the Reading railroad in the
interests of the Baltimore & Ohio and
Lake Shore railroads. When such
transactions as this are to be carried
out, there is room to save or lose mil
lions of dollars, and by his wonderful
diplomacy Mr.. Schiff saved these mil
lions.
He is perhaps the leading Hebrew Of
New York, and there are many monu-
ments to his great generosity, such as
the Montefiore home, the Jewish Theo-
logical seminary, the Semitic muse
um at Harvard university, and the
Nurses settlement on the New York
east side. He is trustee of the Baron
de Hirsch fund, and has been treas
urer of Bernard college. Mr.. Schiff
was born in Germany, and spent the
larger part of his business career in
Frankfort. until he came to this coun-
try, over 80 years ago.
