THE HARTMAN STOCKS.

Henry Clews in his weekly New
York letter touches upon the death OF
Hartman and the probable effect his
removal may have on business. He
says!
The general financial atmosphere
has been greatly clarified by the death
of Mr. Hartman. His Illness had for
weeks been the source of depression
and distrust in Stock Exchange cir
lles; his preearious condition was full
Iy appreciated in well-informed quar-
tiers, where it was known to be only
a question of time when science coU'
do no more. The end came, perhaps,
expected burt it did not come una
wares; and Mr.. Harriman's friends
and associates, as well. as those whose
interests are tied: up with his by the
mutual responsibilities of finance, have
had ample time to prepare safeguards
against unnecessary excitement and
decentralization in the stock market.
When a market leader dies there is
uSlaily a popuiar disposition to look
for liquidation of his security hold
ings Experience has again and again
proven this view ITO be erroneous.
Men of large affairs like Mr.. Harri-
man may always be depended upon to
.eave their estates in excellent shape
and under competent direction.
ION the ether hand the passing of
Mr.. Hartman as a factor in the finan-
cial situation must of necessity differ
from the passing Of other noted mar
ket leaders, since he can have no sue
cessor. There cannot be and should
not be a second Hartman; other
financial interests will not permit it;
and it is eminently desirable that this
attitude should be maintained. Forth
coming laws will doubtless make it
impossible for anyone to dominate the
interstate railroad situation hereafter
by his methods. Mr.. Hartman as a
great railroad reorganizer and up
builder was magnificently successful,
but his success was by no means
greater than the risks ne from time
to time incurred in his epocl-marking
sDeculations in securities on Union
Faciflcis account. At one stage of the
panic, it is reported, losses on these
Epeculations figured into the millions,
and it is appalling to consider conse-
qGences that might have accrued in
tae event of the turn from extreme
decentralization not coming as prompt
ly as it did. There is, of course, no.h-
ing TO fear from liquidation OF Mr..
Harriman's personal holdings, nor in
Ine immediate future, at least, of the
ao!dings OF the great railroad system
OF which he was the controlling infiu-
encc."

WALL STREET RULERs, FRIENDS
AND employees ATTEND.
Two Nieces Sing In the choir-Tri-
butte Paid by His Private
Pastor.

Arden, N. Y, Sept 13.-Through the
quiet aisles OF the Ramapo woods the
body of Edward H. Hartman was car
ried yesterday from the great house
he never lived to see finished and laid
in its last resting place on the Arden
hillside.
The rulers of Wall street came from
New York in special car to pay their
last tribute, but the most prominent
part in the funeral ceremonies was
taken by the men who knew him best
as country squire, master of the
great estate which covers $4,000 acres
of hill and valley in this the most
rugged part of Orange county. His
general superintendent, his master
carpenter, his master mason and the
managers and assistant managers of
his dairies, his farms and his trotting
stables, were the men who bore his
coffin, and the services were led by
his own chaplain.
The funeral was private and only
those who were personal friends Of
the family and had received invita-
lions from Mrs. Hartman were ad.
mitted.
The first service was holy commun-
ion, celebrated at ten a. m. by the
Rev. ]. Holmes McGuiness for Mrs
Hartman and her children at their
home ON Tower hill At II o'clock
came a public memorial service at st.
Johns church for the employees of the
estate and parishioners of the church.
Mr.. Harriman's two nieces, daughters
of Mrs. Simons, sang in the choir.
Just above them behind the small or
gan was motto on the wall: Give
Aims of Thy Goods" .E ..'.,. d
Instead of the usual morning SER
mon, DIR. McGuiness, the pastor, deliv-
cred memorial address in which he
dwelt particularly upon those quail
tiles of Mr.. Hartman best known to
his family, his employees and his
neighbors.
The regular funeral service of the
Episcopal church was conducted by
DR.. McGuiness, assisted by Rev. G.
Nelson, archdeacon of the cathedral Of
st. John the Divine, in New York. A
male quartet and the choir of Grace
church, New York, sang Abide with
Me-" and There Is a Land of Pure
Delight" Mr.. Harriman's favorite
hymns. The service lasted but 20
minutes.

HoILANpERs IN IOWA.

In the year 1S47 about nine hun
dred Hollanders disembarked from
three sailing ships at Baltimore and
thence made their way to the prairies
of Marion county, Iowa-by railroad,
by canal, by steamer and on foot. In
1870 was established the second large
Dutch colony at Orange City in Sioux
county, which is now nearly as ex-
tensiye as the mother colony at Pei
Ia AS story of immigration and
colonization, it is all very interesting.
While it is true that from time to
time there have appeared articles OF
a popular nature on the settlement
of Hollanders at Pella in Marion
county, still no account has given more
than a casual mention of other Dutch
settlements such as the large one in
Sioux county.
A volume on the Dutch people in
Iowa, now in course of preparation
Iowa, will afford a comprehensive his
tory of the Dutch element in Iowas
population. The causes of their emil
grafton from Holland and their sub
sequent settlements in Iowa, their so
cial institutions, religion. and other
matters will. be- given full treatment
Materials for the proposed volume
are being collected by Mr.. Jacob Van
der Zee, himself a natiye-born Hol-
lander, whose familiarity with the lam
guage and character of the, people,
among whom he has lived many years
both here and abroad, and whose ed
ucation at the State University of
Iowa and as Rhodes Scholar at Ok
ford, England, will enable him to treat
the subject thoroughly, authoritative

PURE FOOD HINTS.

Good use is being made of the coun-
ty fairs by the Iowa food and dairy
Department to show what 1T is accom-

exhibits of adulterated and impure
foods at most OF the county fairs and
Commissioner Wright has prepared
printed cards showing poisonous pre-
servatives and authorizations, the use
of which has practically ceased under
the enforcement OF the pure food law.
These cards are being distributed
broadcast among the people. On
them Commissioner Wright advises
purchasers to always look for the per
cent label on compounds.
The list OF poisonous preservatives
which the pure food law has driven
out of use includes French peas col
cred with sulphate of copper, shrimps
preserved with boric acid, hamburger
preserved with sulphites, beef saus-
age preserved with suIphites, chopped
meats preserved with sulphites, bo-
iCgna preserved with boric acid, cod
