ment lines:
The distinctly modern character
of the principal Continental cities
calls forth surprise from many fairly
well Informed travellers. This Is
doubtless due in part to the historl-
cal or artistic interest that attaches
to many Of the larger cities tending
to divert attention from their indus
trial side.
The mention of Nuremberg, for ex-

VIM. G. Whitncy's Love OF Luxury.
"IIis luxurious habits, indeed, ir-
lterfered with his work. He relied
moro and more upon Ryan as his
active partner, and made only lnfro-
quent appearances down town. At
the height of his career the financial
success of his Metropolitan and other
lnotetions found expression In n mag
Inlficent home on Fifth avenue. It's
furnishings were one OF the won
ders of New York. Mr.. whitney
ransacked the art treasures OF Eu-
rope, stripped medieval castles Of
their carvings and tapestries, ripped
whole stalrcases and floors from
their repose of centuries and relaid
them I'm his new Fifth avenue home.
Here he entertained his friends with
q lavlshness that astounded even New
York. whitney did everything. In
deed, on n large and extrayagaut
scale. Even in HIS corruption the
bigness of whitney is apparent. The
enormous scale on which tho Metro
politan stockholders were robbed
shows that In him we have no every
day petty CRATER. You could not
imagine whitney descending TO the
little steallngs at which the life In
surance trustees were caught. When
he got his 'rake-offs' he took MILL
ions, not thousands. This largeness
OF nature explains his popularity
with politicians and his ability TO do
with the city politician as he pleas
ed Ho did not give his political as
sociates potty bribes; no took them
into his deals and showed them how
TO make fortunes. Thns WhItney's
character presents a combination OF
great talents, great ambitions, great
loyable qualities, all mlsdirected by
great weaknesses. Had he died Ia
HIS nftIeth year his fame as an hon
est public servant and a worker for
tho highest ideals OF American citi-
zenship would have been secure.
The fact that at that age. when a
mans principles are supposed to be
pretty solidly fixed. whitney sui
denly turned his back upon his own
career and rapidly descended the
path OF degradation marked out by

schools. its museums, and other pub
lie buildings.
It's civic pride Is everywhere ap.
parent and calls forth constant praise
from intelligent travellers. One need
but follow the proceedings of the
city council to discover that the
dominant spirit of the city is pro-
gressive and modern, not merely as
compared with the city of a century
ago, but as compared with an Amerl-
can city.
The preservation of the city's walls
and towers and historic buildings
might seem to point to a nonprogres-
sive, medieval spirit, but II points
rather to keen, modern business
foresight that views these things as
a valuable investment well worth pre-
serving. Every such historic object
Is kept in repair and preserved as
well as possible.
Much that has been said OF Nurem-
berg might with equal force be said
of all the better German cities-os
Frankfort. OF Cologne. of Chemnltz
and Mannheim and many others
to say nothing of Berlin or Hamburg,
OF Dresden or Munich. II might be
said of scores OF smaller cities of
from $4,000 to $4,000 population.
and OF many Continental cities out
