largest factories from the matchmaking
shops to the giant steel mills, are driven

increasing every day and it is estimat-

industry under the sun, and nearly all
the work done now by hand, will be
electrified
To enumerate the thousand and one
WAYS in which electricity has already
been applied is superfiuous; but its uni
versal adaptability suggests wonders
for the future.
The greatest wonders are the out
growths of small beginnings. 1t was
only rs years ago that the incandes-
cent lamp was perfected and today
nearly every home and building in the
cities is lighted by electricity About
three years ago the General Electric
company announced that it was pos
sible to do all the cooking in the home,
hotels or restaurants by electricity. A
great many of the best men of the
time laughted at such an absurd state
ment but today electric cooking is

the exhausting of our wood and coal
electricity is bound to become the main
source of heat in the very near future.
It has already proven itself cleaner,

and it is only a question Of few
cheaper than gas or coal.

of doing the work for a large family

And how about electric heating for
office buildings and residences? That
is, perhaps, a far cry; but as fuel prices

THE PIONEER.

Surrounded by comfort and plenty
We gather the luscious fruit or the
golden shzaves of our bountiful har-
vests and are too prone to forget the
hardships with which the early de-
velopment of our country was fraught.
The pioneer who fought a determined
and conqu, ring fight against nature
in her primitive form and claimed this
fair land for King Agriculture, is fast
slipping away and young heads have
been called to give counsel and young
hands have been trained to handle
the reins of our progress. We should
not forget, however, that our prospect

Arden, N. Y. Sept. 10-Edward H.
Hartman, tie greatest organizer of
railroads the world has ever known,
met the only lasting defeat of his
life at the hands of death. Secluded
in his magnificent home on Tower
Hill, surrounded by members of his
family, physicians and nurses, he sue
cumbed to an Intestinal disorder after
a fight against the disease which will
rank for sheer grit with his remark

The exact time Of his death is
known only in that limited circle of

somewhat obscured if not lost in the
intensity of feeling which has been
aroused over the personal aspect of
the two conflicting claims. Comman-
der Peary's latest dispatch, challeng-

as "a gold BRICK" has added fuel to
the already fierce fire of charge and
counter charge. This dispatch is adj

reads as follows:

Was Conscious Until the End.
Mr.. Hartman died peacefully and
to the end his brilliant mind retained
it's integrity. After relapse on Sun
day he sank slowly and soon after
noon Thursday there came a relapse
which marked the approach of the
end
The great achievement of Mr.. Harri-
mans career as inancier and rail
road manager was the rehabilitation
of the Union Pacific and Southern Pa
cific railway systems. Mr.. Hartman
undertook this herculean task when
he was nearly fifty years old and after
he had once practically retired from
business. Other inanciers had failed
signally to put these properties on 4
paying basis, but Mr.. Hartman, fol-
lowing the reorganization of the I'm
ion Pacific in 1897, began systematic
plan to place the properties in the
best possible condition for their main
tenance at a high standard of eff
cheney. 1t was his policy to keep his
railroads in the best workable condi-
ton, confident that sooner or later the
question of dividends would take care
Of itself To the task he had under
taken Mr.. Hartman gave unf1agging
industry and it was his constant work
that brought on the final breakdown
in his health. Stomach trouble devel-
oDed more than a year ago and med
ica1 treatment gave no relief This
summer he went to Europe to consult
the greatest specialists there, but he
was not benefited. On his return to
this country he went at once to his
magnificent country home at Arden
where death occurred
Mr.. Hartman was sixty-one years
of age

When Mr.. CULVER travelled in the
land of giants he was disguised by the
coarseness of their skin. Their pores
looked like pits, their hair like under
brush and the effect was most often
sive to Sir CULVER. Neither was he
able to get fair idea of these giants
at close range, because he could not
get good perspective. Is it not
possible that some of Roosevelt's de-
tractors have been but Gulllver's
