WAS MAN OF NERVE.
Intimate Friend Reviews Episodes of
 Life

Chicago, Sept. s.-A striking review of some of the dramatic episodes in MT. Harriman's career was given tonight by a man here who has been intimate ly in touch with him for several years, but who wishes his name withheld.
 He said:
 My chief had been working and burrowing in the darkness of Wall Street for many years before the big opportunity-the Union Pacific reor- ganization, tapped at his door. An other man was picked out first but one of the group in control turned to the Board and said:
 "Genelemen, that Is not your man at all. You want Hartman and they have wanted Hartman ever since. He was a man of auto-dynamic en- ergy irritable and sharp at times, so that he became almost offensive to some men. But not after they came to know him We know now that 1t
 was his disease.
 No one knew of the little things that he did. such as the support of the newsboys' home in New York. "He often talked to me of that and | of the real good he might accomplish by training these bright intellects into
 more useful channels.
 "He was a man of wonderful cour- age. when Erle was Tn trOuDIe the National City group wanted to let 1t go | into the hands of receiver. but MT Hartman objected. He was afraid of a panic. He went home that night and stayed awake until 3 o'clock in the
 morning. He always did a great deal
 of thinking in bed. When he went to sleep that night he had made up his
 mind that the old men were wrong. In the morning he called his men in and told them to hustle out and get some. thing like $10.000.000 of securities He called up Vanderlip and told him what
 he had done. He borrowed the money
 to pay off the notes on his own respon. sibility.
 Some people called that foolhardy. but he won out.
 He was the live force in Illinois Central long before the figurehead Fish tried to oppose him. I know that he
 handled the negotiations resulting in the purchase of the Mississippi Valley Railroad.
 "In the Alton matter you will fnd that he was only banking on the flu. ture of the road. There was no water "

MANY USES FOR SOUR CREAM.
Among Others, It Makes a Delicious
Cabbage Salad Dressing.

1t is an amazing thing how much
sour cream is thrown away in the sum-
mer by careless housewives and ig-
norant maids, who fail to discover in
it the possibilities for innunerabfe
tasty dishes. Sour cream make de-
licious cabbage salad dressing,
whether used uncooked, stirring it in
at the last before serving the salad, OF
cooking it in this way:
Chop or shred the cabbage fine and
put in a deep dish. Put into sauce
pan over hot fire one cupful of thick
sour cream and stir in while heating
the yolks of three well beaten eggs.
Add a half teaspoonful of sugar, two
tablespoonfuls of butter, with salt and
pepper to taste. While cooking stir in
a half cupful of strong vinegar. This,
makes a smooth, thick dressing, de-
lightfully creamy. Pour over the cab
bage while hot and mix thoroughly.

MISS McLaMORE SURP RISES ALI
ANCE. EXCELLENT PAPER
FOR YOUNG GIRL.

Sunday was an unusual day for the
Alliance in that young girl scarcely
out of her teens was the center of at
traction for fully thirty minutes. Her
ideas on home training, school and
church training, for better training,
were very fundamental and opportune,
to say the least. In one of her eli
makes she said THE home should
preserve the child for the state, and
the state should preserve the child for
necessity of child labor laws; for the
state laws protecting children from
vice and all kinds of danger, all hav-
ing aim for the state to protect itself.
"rhe child of today is the govern
ment of tomorrow. If we would have
a good government, let us raise good
children. More bad children come to-
day because their fathers are too busy
making money to care for them. Nat
urally, coldness, Indifference and mis-
treatment is often started and fostered
by this neglect" said the writer.
1t would have done older people
much good to have heard that young
lady pick out flaws and suggest RENE
dies 10 our social, financial and relig-
ious systems.
Sins of Society," an article, was the
product of much intelligent discussion.
The Alliance passed a resolution of
coincidence to be sent Charles j. Har-
ris, sympathizing with him in his hour
of trouble.
Resolutions of gratitude were sent
to Editors Franklin and Rivers for the
presentation of some application cards
for new members and for the free use
of the papers, respectively.
The Alliance will give a blue ribbon
to the best practical plan, business or
scheme by which the Negroes can
best operate a business. Beginning
with February 1st, written plans will
be handed in until March list, and at
which time the various plans will be
discussed, and after the plans have
been thoroughly discussed, the plan re-
ceiving the majority of the Alliance
vote will get the blue ribbon. Any
body can present a plan, but nobody
but members will be allowed to dis
| cuss it. Outsiders take notice.
