Reports Verified.

At a special meeting of the directors
of the New York Central road in New
York William Bliss of Boston resigned
as a director of the company and
George F. Baker, president of the
First National bank of New York,
was elected to succeed him. Tt is gen
orally accepted that he was elected to
represent the Rock efeller
interests in the board and his election
is regarded as verifying to a certain
extent at least the report that here
after there is to be a close co-opera-
ton between the Hartman and Van
derbilt interests and that the bulk of
the exchange of traffic business of the
one set of roads will henceforth be
thrown to the other.
1t is positively denied, however, that
the Vanderbilt family has lost control
of the system called by it's name or
that there is any possibility of it's do
ing so. The new arrangement is
simply a putting into practical effect
of one part of the community of in
terests program generally adopted by
the roads.

THE VOICE OF CoA1MAND.
Great Manner Docs Not Follow Grea
Ien-CaImness Is the Key.


In these days the great man seldom
uses the great manner. Power speaks
gently; authority whispers oftener
than it vociferates- Dewey's famous
You may fire when ready, Gridley''
/ is the quiet and confident example of
the big man in big undertaking
whether it be war or business, saws the
Saturday Evening Post.
/ Twenty years ago the typical railroad
president, one of the three railroad
kings of that time, was bluff, loud, au-
tocratic, propulsive- His words rolled
out thunderouSly. He brooked no ar
gument. JOve could not have been
more conclusive. He gave the impress
sion of awe; he made his visitors feel
that they were in wonderful pres
ence. The same railroad system now
handles many times more business
than it did then; its earnings are tens
of millions larger; its employees have
grown into an army. The new presi-
dent is altogether a modern executive
orders. There is no elevation in his
voice Humorous saIlies are sand
WICKED in the conversation. 1t is as
pleasant and comfortable as a friendly
chat in a coy corner. And yet this
modern president dispatches more
business in a day than his predecessor
of twenty years ago did in a week.
It is the same today with most men
of eminence in business and politics.
They are of the same brand=quiet,
weIl-poised persons, who seem to have
acquired with their success the prac-
teal philosophy of life and living. They
are not in a hurry. They do not fune
or buster. Their words are as cheer
full as they are simple. They invite and
tell good stories; and their very calm
is in part an explanation of their rise
to high position.
It is vast mistake to think that the
tendencies are toward noise and haste
and nervous waste in the big chairs
of modern civilization. The man with
the cool head and the gentle tongue is
the kind who is wanted IN large under

Chicago. Feb. 4.=Following the re-
turn of President e. P. Ripley, OF the
Santa Fe, from New York, where he
has announced the finding of the in

Santa Fe rebate case, it was persistent
ly reported here that Mr. Ripley would
sever his connection with the Santa

Secretary of the Navy Paul Morton.
It was also rumored that Mr.. Ripley
would become the head of another
important railway system. Both re-
ports. however, were denied by Mr..
Ripley.

Ripley last night. THE report is false

DAILY GREEK NEWSPAPER.
Addition to New York Publications in
Foreign Languages.

One more picturesque detail has been
added to the cosmopolitan character Of
New York by the fact that, beginning
yesterday, a daily newspaper will be
published here in the Greek language.
This paper. the Atlantis. the first news
paper published in Greek in the United
States. was founded u years ago as a
weekly, and, owing to the rapid in
crease of the Greek population in the
United States to nearly 10000 it has
been necessary to increase the number
of issues from weekly to semi-weekly,
tri-Weekly and daily.
But the Atlantis is much less of q
rare bird in New York journalism than
one might think. There is scarcely a
European people who do not publish
here a newspaper in their own lang
uage. There is even a japanese paper
printed here, the japan and America,
which may fight on neutral American
territory a journalistic war with the
Amerikansl1y Russky Viestnik. the New
York Russian neWSpap per. OF all the
foreign languages printed here the Ger
man is printed by far the most. In
New York city alone there are publish
ed about 40 German dailies, weeklies
and mOnthlies, and these publications
cover almost every interest dear to the
German heart They are religious, an
archistic, medical, comic, literary and
musical
Several of them are devoted to the in
terests merely of Germans from certain
district. For instance, there is the
Preussische Zeitung. the Oesterreichisch
Ugarische Zeitung. the Sachsen Zei-
tung. the SchWae biScheS WOchenblatt,
and others.
There are eleven Jewish publications
printed in Hebrew, German and Eng
lish, and the papers devoted to English,
Scotch and Irish interests, though print
ed in English, impress the fact that the
native born" is not the whole popula-
ton. The French are represented by
the Courier des Etats-Unis, the Italians
have FIVE papers. daily. weekly and
monthly, and the Spanish seven, show
ing that the Cuban war has not totally
disrupted Spanish from American in
terests. The Bohemians have two
dailies, the Has Lidu and Listy, and
two other publications; the Arabians
have seni-Weekly called the Alayan.
Other foreign papers printed here are
the Hungarian Szabadsag, the Slavonic
Slovak v. Amerike, one Scandinavian
and two Swedish papers, and the Mag
var AmeIika Magyar Nepszaya.-New

One reason why Peruna has
found permanent use in so many
homes is that it contains no mar
cotic of any kind. Peruna is per-
fectly harmless. 1t can be used
any length of time without ac-
quiring a drug habit. Peruna does
not produce temporary results,-it
cures
