Hartman seems to have an utter
contempt for popular opinion. In
manner he Is brusque in the extreme.
He shows intolerance of other peo-

eomprehending that any viii but his

quickness OF perception and deter

has brooked no opposition, he has

ton as he. BY so doing he has ere
alter hatred and enmity to an ex-
tent which few men could bear, but
he has moved along apparently wholly
Indifferent to the whole affair.
Mr. Hartman is small man, of
slight build, narrow chested and del
icate in appearance, but he is a whirl-
wind for energy in his work. He
keeps busy a small army of stenog-
raphers. He is a very rapid thinker,
and acts as rapidly as he thinks. He
never sulks, he never swaggers, and
has very few fads though he is a
lover of out-of-doors and insists that
his children belong to nearly all of
the open air clubs and societies about
his country home.
Mr.. Hartman is wholly self-made
man. His father was clergyman,
and when the son began his active
career it was as a clerk in a brokers'
office in Wall street. In that vicin-
ity his career has been spent. There
his great financial battles have been
fought and his great financial tri-
umphs won. There his latest surprise
has been enacted and there his latest
financial achievement is being can
vassed with all the bitterness of criti-
cism which most of his surprises have
evoked.

A RAIL 9DAD WIZARD
&. n. HARRlF AN LEADING FIGURE
IN THE RAILROAD WORLD.
Maghate Known as Man OF Surprises
Some Things He Has Done
His Rise from Post of Clerk
in a Bankers Office.

New York; H. Hartman, the
central figure in the recent Wall street
sensation caused by the declaration Of
dividends by directors of the Union &
Southern Pacific roads, is a man of
many surprises. Almost every act of
his that has attracted more than pass
ing attention since he appeared on the
scene as a great railroad magnate has
been attended with complete and in
tense surprise.
Indeed, Mr. Harriman's activities. as
a railroad magnate transforming vast
systems from condition of bankrupt.
cy TO affiuerce, are themselves per
haps the greatest surprise of all. It
was not until 1900 that Hartman cut
any figure in the railroad world
The most important railroad posi-
ton that he had occupied up to that
time was that OF vice president OF the
Illinois Central railroad. This post he
held for a time prior to the annual
meeting of 1889. when he retired to

tribute in the shape or solid silver
wreath which cost about $4,000.
AS the beech is the national tree of
Denmark, its leaf was chosen as the
most appropriate to use in the design.
In the center is the Danish coat Of
arms surmounted by the royal crown.
A band of silver wound through the
leaves bears the dates of King Chris

ton in Danish, Fra Dansk I Ameri-
ka." and the motto of King Christian,
MED Gud for Aaero og Ret" which
means with God for honor and right"
The wreath is two feet four inches
in diameter and is made entirely OF
silver. 1t was designed by FIR. Ram
busch, artist, and executed by p. Heis-
ted, jeweler, both of whom are Danish
residents of New York city.

pleted. it will be sent at once to the

DRIVES MEN INSANE.
Mysterious Problems in Nature Which
Have Wrecked Many Minds.

A scientist who has been travelling
in Africa in search OF an answer TO
some questions concerning rainfall
gives as his opinion that the ex.
preston of impertulbable calm or
the face of the Sphinx arises from the
fact that she has never tried 10 find
the answers TO the riddles OF nature,
which have sent many men to their
graves.
What is gravity? is one Of them.
Hundreds of men have gone insane
trying to answer 1t, says the Chicago
Chronicle Some, in fact. have gone
so far as to try 70 disproye the theory
entirely. An English naval captain
wrote a book on this subject and sent
it to all the learned societies in Eu-
rope.
Why cannot force be created by hui
man power? Trying to accomplish
this has fastened the end OF many
a worthy man. Perpetual motion will
be an accomplished fact if we can dis
cover how force is made. Kelley,
with his motor, who claimed to have
discovered perpetual motion was a
swindler whose death revealed his
ingenious counterfeit OF perpetual mo-
tion. If this discovery could be made
1t would reyolutionize the world.
What source Of heat supply has the
planet Mars This is another riddle.
Our earth gets much more heat from
the sun than does Mars, yet that
planet has a beautifully mild climate.
Astronomers have watched the ice
cap thawing on Mars, and they have
proved that water flows and clouds
rise. This shows that Mars has heat.
But If not supplied by the sun, from
what source does 1t come?
Where the tide is born is an
other of natures secrets. On the is
land of Papete. il the southern Pa
cific, there is every day e. ~ midday
and two in the afternoon hisa tide.
Why. no one is able e explain
scientist has been able to turn gold
into silver, but no one so far has

other university athletics Cochems
was equally prominent
While in the Harvard law school
Cochems, according to the strength
test, was the strongest man in the
world. His test ran up to 1906 points.
Since his college days he has been
closely identified in political life with
the junior senator from Wisconsin,
Robert M. La Toilette. In 1898, at
the age of %, he nominated Mr.. La
Toilette for governor at the Republi-
can state convention. In 1900 he
again was a delegate to the conven-
ton which first nominated La Toilette
for governor.
In 1904, at the suggestion OF Gov.
La Toilette, he was made secretary
Of the Republican state central com
mittee. In the present canvass he is
receiving the active support of the
junior senator.
Cochems is the first man who ever
completed the three-year law course
at Harvard in two years. He is a
Splendld speaker, pleasing OF auureSS
and forceful of argument. He Is aided
in his unique campaign by his two
brothers-Karl, an opera singer. and
Ed, a lawyer. The program Of
speeches. songs and strong man stunts
the three brothers can put up is hard
to beat.
Mr. Cochems, if. sent to congress,
would advocate a reform in the rules
of the house. The committee on rules.
he maintains, holds autocratic power
and a member is helpless unless the
committee gives him permission to
speak. He would have the committee
named by the house instead of by the
speaker, thus making the committee
look to the house for its instructions.

devote himself 20 the banking and
brokerage business, which previously
had occupied his attention. He Incl
dentally took up the handling of rail
road securities, with which he had
been intimately familiar from the very
beginning of his active business
career
1t was really in 1900, however, that
the magnates commanding force of
character revealed itself. And from
that time until now he has held posi-
ton which for prominence, Importance
and influence has been second to few
In the railroad and financial worlds. 1t
was in 1900 that Mr.. Hartman man.
aged for syndicated interests that had
purchased the Union Pacific, as it
emerged from the hands of receivers,
the purchase of the Southern Pacific,
on terms that not only afforded the
Union Pacific it's direct outlet to the
Pacific coast and the gulf, but gave the
railroad control of the Morgan line of
steamships, running between New
York and New Orleans.
If it was a surprise that Hartman
should be called to such a position
what he has accomplished since has
been still greater and more remark
able surprise. In these six years the
physical condition of the whole of
what is now known as the Hartman
system-including the Union, South
ern and Central Pacifics, the Oregon
Short Line and the Oregan Railroad
and Navigation practically
has been reconstructed and from "a
streak of rust" has been transformed
into standard railroad, brought up to
the highest condition of physical per.
lection and made capable Of being
operated after the latest and most APP
proved methods of the day. The great
Salt lake in Utah has been bridged
and other physical obstacles have
been overcome the surmounting of
which up to the time that Mr. Harri-
man took hold of them had been con-
sidered impossible. Much of the ex-
pense Of making these physical i'm
proyements has been met out of the
earnings of what before had been
bankrupt properties incapable OF pay
ling fixed charges. They have now
been made to earn, in addition to the
amounts appropriated for these i'm
provements, immense dividends for
their stockholders.
One year after his purchase Of the
Southern Pacific Mr.. Hartman gave
the railroad and financial world a sur
prise great enough to throw them
into state of CONFUSION, and for
short time threatened almost univer-
sal collapse. In 1901 James J. Hill
purchased the Burlington road for
the Northern Pacific. Mr. Hartman
Thought that purchase threatened
lJnion Pacific interests. and demanded
hat he be allowed to have a finger
the pie. He was brusquely refused.
Before Mr.. Hill or his associate. ].
Pierpont Morgan. knew what was
happening, Mr. Hartman was in the
market purchasing control of the
Northern Pacific with the result that
on May 9, 1901, the price of the
stock of that road scared to $1,000 a
I|share. Two days later Mr.. Hartman
announced that he owned majority
of Northern Pacific stock. Out of
total Of sf55. 100000 he held shares
of the par value of SIS, 100000 A com
