HARTMAN

The condition of the health Of E.

manipulation and master, rs the all
absorbing topic Of Wall Street. Re
porters are on guard. watching his
his house, interviewing the visitors
and family and trying to get 4
glimpse Of the great Hartman HIM
self. A few days ago some one
carried what was supposed to be a
large table to the house and word
flew over the telegraph wires that
Hartman was TO be operated on Tor
cancer of the stomach. Another day
something else was seen to be mys-
teriously hustled in the house and
the reporters declared the great rail-
road owner was in extremis because
the doctors were giving oxygen.
And so it goes. Now. no one dis
putes the fact that Hartman Is a
great financier and can negotiate
railroad stocks and bonds with great
capacity and ability, so that in the
end he comes out far ahead. He Is
a railroad magician and his death
would be a great loss and somewhat
of a calamity: but no one canfurther
dispute the fact that very little in
this world hangs upon the life Of any
one man. Railroad manipulation
would not end with the death Of
Hartman. Some one else would
rise up and go on with his work. and
do it Just as well. if not better. than
