In Stocks and Bonds.
ESTATE TO BE INTACT?
THE FlNANcIER IS BELIEVED
TO HAVE ARRANGED ALL OF
HIS AFFAIRS, EXPECTING AN
EARLY DEATH.

New York. Sept. 1O.-The estimate
of E. H. Harriman's wealth ranged
today all the way from O,0OO, 900 to
$2O0.000.00O. Those most likely to
have the best information said it was
probably in the neighborhood of $780,
100000 and that it consists chiefly of
railroad stocks and bonds.
Mr.. Hartman was a large owner of
securities of the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific systems, of the At
Gibson, Topeka and Santa Fe road.
New York Central. the Erie, Delaware
and Hudson, Pacific Mail Steamship
company, Brooklyn Rapid Transit, and
of the Wells Fargo Express company.
He was credited with being the larg-
est individual stockholder in the last
named corporation, which recently
acquired a virtual monopoly Of the
express business in Mexico.
Small Portion in Real Estate.
Mr.. Harriman's real estate holdings
are supposed to be less than IS, ,0OO, 900
in value, his chief property being the
estate at Arden.
What disposition Mr. Hartman
made Of his property can only be con-
jectured. The only charity he was
known to be deeply interested in was
a boys club on the east side, to which
he gave a $3.50 home
It is the belief of Mr.. Harriman's
associates, but they are not In posi-
ton to make the statement as a fact.
that some time ago, when he realized
the probability of his early death, he
trusteed all of his security holdings
with the stipulation that they be held
intact for period Of years. This
would prevent them being thrown mp
on the market at any time In the near
future.

Minneapolis. Mimi, Sept 1n-The
feature of the meeting Of the general
council of the Evangelical Lutheran

Schmauk. president OF the council, in
which he attacked Charles w. Eliot.
former president of Harvard. He said !:
Blessed are the pure in heart. for
they shall see God.' Is the word of
President Eliot. Blessed are the
keen in mind, for they shall find God
to be a natural product of the human
SOUL The modern nationalist says.
1--WE are Ut TO preach salvation,
but take care of bodies of men now
and this view of the church seems to
be indorsed by the new bureau appoint
ed by President Roosevelt for the up
lifting Of social communities.
"The new religion. according to
President Eliot. is one that will not be
based upon authority, which is to say
that mans own will and his own devel-
opment are to be the supreme motive
and law Of life. and that Gods name
is not the primary thing to be hallow-
ed. and his kingdom is not the primary
thing to come and his will is not the
primary thing to be done on earth"
The presidents report showed that
the Lutheran church now has 2,25O. 900
members in the churches and 1 500 OO
children in the Sunday schools. The
growth for the last ten years was Il
