DESCRIPTIVE DISCOURSE ON
ITALY.

Mr. Walter G.. Tuttle, who recently
returned from an extended tour of
Europe and during his absence ia
vored Truth with letters descriptive
of his travels, again contributes an in
teresting article to our columns. Mr..
futile writes:
The train from Venice to Verona
crosses long bridge and after pass
ing marshy, low lying stretch of
shore land dotted here and there with
fishermen's huts. 1t soon reaches Pa
dova surrounded by fortified walls
built of the common Roman bricks,
which are much thinner than those
of the present age. They are longer
and broader, but only about one-half
as thick and are red and much strong
er, and were either much harder
baked or else age has made them
firmer and more solid than our bricks
We observed the same kind of brick
in portions of some English buildings
which were built originally by the Ro-
mans. There is not much of interest
in the way of art at Padova. But the
view from our car window is intensely
interesting. In fact every little vii
lage in Italy has such odd and gener
ally artistic buildings that combined
with the inevitable great cathedral
and the medieval fortifications-one
cannot pass the most obscure town
without a desire to explore the old
palaces and castles-often these
buildings are long since deserted and
appear desolate enough. But they
stand as great sentinels of past glory
and power. Our train passes through
a highly cultivated and fertile coun-
try, through the city of Vinernza, and
after a two hours run from Venice
we are at Verona, city of about
$4,000 inhabitants, also surrounded
by fortified wall and containing
many fine buildings and some of the
best preserved medieval architecture
of northern Italy. This city was the
home of Romeo and Juliet and
Shakespeare based hi play on events
which actually took place in Verona
during the fourteenth century.
Romeo was one of the Montechi fam
lily and the house they resided in is
pointed out by the proud native, as is
the house formerly occupied by Juliet.
Her tomb is also shown in one of the
suppressed monasteries The natives
take pride in showing these interest
ing spots (and are inclined to exag-
gerate) but they can speak so little
English that we are obliged to depend
on our Baedeker Juliet's house is
five-story, red brick, with a verandah
on the fourth floor. 1t is somewhat
Truth. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1901-1908, 1905-09-30

| higher than the verandah usually
shown on the stage. 1t struck me
that Romeo must have required a
hook and ladder truck to have reached
his sweetheart in the verandah love-
making, or possibly the house has
grown taller with time. 1t has had
several hundreds of years to grow,
thus placing the verandah at a much
higher elevation. Well, please don't
accept either of these theories, they
are merely speculative observations
of my own. Be it as it may, she is
greatly honored, as every young lady
who visits her tomb lacks her card
thereon-there's hundreds of them,
mostly American names. The great
ampitheater almost a duplicate of the
colosseum at Rome, is better pre-
served and nearly as large twas erect
ed by Diocletian A. d. 300, and seats
10000 spectators) -nearly all Italian
cities have one. Pompeii possessed
its ampitheatre. Verona has some of
the most quaint and interesting
bridges and buildings imaginable.
The great Scaligero bridge across the
Adige, was built in 1860, and is en-
tirely stone, with immense embattled
walls on it's sides and towers with
hundreds of loop holes, meets ones
ideals of medieval construction. In
fact, Verona is, with its many old cas-
ties, palaces, bridges, etc, a very sat
isfactory city to visit for one who is
interested in the architecture of the
second to fifteenth centuries, as it
possesses so many well preserved
buildings dating back to that early
period In all Italian cities milk is
brought to your door ION the hoof,
so to speak, for the cows or goats in
droves are driven through the streets
from door to door They lie down on
the walks, in the shade of the build
ings. The children pet them. There
are certainly obvious advantages in
procuring milk this way. 1t is 81
miles from Verona to Milan. We took
fast train and made it in three hours
and twenty minutes. Milan is a very
progressive business city, and in the
consequent march of progress the an
tique has given way to the modern
and little remains to remind one of its
past glories. But it's pride is justly
placed in the possession of one of the
most magnificent (and largesD ca
thedrals in the world. 1t holds about
10000 people and it's "Parco Publico,"
Baedeker says, is the finest park
in Italy. Milan has 100000 population
and in the eleventh century had 300,-
600. 1t was founded 400 years B. c.,
still it shows a much faster growth
than most Italian cities. We go up
into the Italian lake region from here.
to Como among the Alps, about one
hour by train. The ice peaks are
plainly visible from Milan.

much as is contained in those two words. If they did not make shivery feeling run down Ryan's spine, then he is proof against fear.
 Here Is another rather savage dig at Ryan. The present owner of the Equi- table had testified that he bought Hyde's stock because he feared that the exposures in the company would bring panic. When Mir. Hartman was asked if he shared in this appre- hension he answered.: "No, sir; there was no possibility of panic There was nobody, think. except Mir. Ryan who had that in view, and I doubt whether he had" Phew! That is an indirect way of calling man a liar, and not very indirect either.
 But Hartman said other things of Ryan even more uncompllmentary For example, he asserted more than once that he doubted Mr. Ryan's sin. cerity.. When one reflects what that statement really means he must real ize that 1t is about as severe thing as one man can say of another. More over, the railroad king accused the present owner of the Equitable of tri- fling with him. To man with fine point of honor statements like these

loquacious, but he could not help that. It was all on account of Hughes and that insurance investigation. A whole lot of people who would have preferred to keep quiet have been saying things for the same reason. Some of these high financiers are so modest and re- tiring that the shrinking daisy Is bold by comparison. It Is little less than cruel to drag them out before the pub lie and make them tell where they got it.
 Pregnant Ejaculation.
 Mir. Hartman thinks so rapidly that 1t Is impossible for him to express him self in mere words. At one famous meeting of the Equitable directors be became so surcharged with burning ideas that all he could do was to give uttersnce to the memorable sentence. "Wow. WOW. wowr' That pregnant ejaculation was freighted with more meaning than Is contained In many volumes. Anybody can reel of strings of adjectives, but it takes genius to  think of anything so startlingly origi- nal as Wow. WOW. WON'T That sen tence was either something more or something less than human. It was even new to Wall street The fire quentcrs of the Stock Exchange me nsgerie were familiar with the below ing of bulls. the growing of bears and the bieatinE of lambs. but "wow.

HARLES A. PROUTY of the in- 4 terstate commerce commission NJ once said that five men could
 control the railroads of the Unit ed States. He did not name the men, but he unquestionably referred to the chief figures in the five great railway systems: William K. Vanderbilt of the Vanderbilt roads, George J. Gould of the Gould roads, J. Pierpont Morgan of the Morgan-Hill interests, A. J. Cas- satt of the Pennsylvania system and Edward II. Hartman of the Hartman roads. While named last, Hartman in power and influence is easily the head of the list. Morgan formerly was there, but the younger man passed him some time ago. It is safe to say that Hartman will keep the lead. He has habit of keeping things. He once said to bunch of newspaper men who came to question him about the rumor that Morgan and Hill had wrested from him the control of the Union Pacific: T guess that isn't so. 1 have never yet let go of anything that wanted after getting it in my possession"
 Ordinarily Mir. Hartman does not talk much. Lately he has been more

more. He has genius for developing the properties he secures, his special forte being to take line that is on the verge of bankruptcy and turn 1t into a bonanza. He is bold in his concepts, spends money like water in making i'm provements and always wins out. He strengthened out the Union Pacific, bridging Great Salt Lake in the opera ton. It is said that when this difficult feat of engineering was finally ac- complished the usually sedate MT. liar riman danced highland fling. Yet, though he scatters millions so freely, one of his railroad presidents resigned because Hartman made him account for his postage stamps. He is small man, only about five feet four, and stoop shouldered at that. His dress is almost shabby. He wears heavy drooping mustache and funny little goatee parted in the middle. He is taciturn, a hard worker, with genius for details, looks lot unlike Jay Gould, avoids publicity, has a bug for science and travels much. He has house In New York and an estate of over 30,000 acres at Arden, N. r., where most of his time is spent. There he breeds fine horses and stock and is grand old farmer At Arden he is no longer D. II. Hartman, railroad king, but Uncle Hank" He is affectionately greeted by this title or by the still shorter one of Pop Hartman in all the region roundabout. He is especially popular with the children of the village, who gather in droves to greet his home com ings. He loads punches of them into his automobile and whiZzes with them through the country, being as happy with these little ones as he is when talk ing a group of scientists to Alaska or 1unket of government officials to Japan.

would be regarded as nothing less than personal insults. A century ago they would have called for coffee and pistols. Dueling is no longer in vogue. Has honor gone out of fashion also? John Skelton Williams said things as severe concerning Ryan, and they bore on the very point that Hartman touch es-viz, that the owner of the Equlta- ble has no regard for his promises. Yet Ryan is a virginian. and Virgin fans are not in the habit of bearing such imputations in silence. That Thomas F. Ryan bears them argues one of two things. either that he has a wonderful control of his temper or a calloused indifference to ethical con alterations. Probably both clements enter into his attitude. If so he is not peculiar in Wall street, for to play the modern game Of high finance men have to control their tempeTs and they seemingly have to become caIlOused to- considerations of ethics and honor.
 Threatening Reply.
 Perhaps the most sensational part of the Hartman testimony related to po- litIcal influence.
