The Passing Boot.

Congress, more's the pity, has lost
its last member that wore boots. His
name Is Brumm, habitat Pennsylva-
mia, and he is not dead of old age.
certainly not of cold feet. Mr.. Brumm.
indeed, is Eot dead at all, even If his
species be extinct. He has simply quit
Washington, boots and all, to become
Judge in Schuylkill County. The
House will miss him and his leather
clad extremities. Gone is sockless
Jerry Simpson Gone almost are the
full boards, burnsides and chin whis-
kers Of earlier congressional efflores-
cence. Uncle Joe" Cannon no longer
wears the suit of ostentatious blue
jeans presented him by North Caro-
lima admirers. Quaintness and pic
turesqueness, qualities that had a
definite political value, are represent
ed in the popular branch of the ma
tional legislature chiefly by the speak
er's vocabulary. It is too bad that
there are no boots left in Congress.
The boot Is the symbol Of power Of
that unrestrained personal authority
exemplified alike by the military en-
perors of Rome, by the Russian ncbil
ity and by our own frontiersmen. 1t

Free Delivery In Virginia.

Virginia has 100000 people who are
deprived by bad roads of rural free
delivery. Fifty years ago a man liv-
ing in the country districts who ask.
ed that his daily newspaper be de.
livered to him by the post Office de-
partment would have been regarded
as suffering frem a mild type Of in
sanity. But half a century works
many marvels, and not the slightest
has been the increase in information
and the general bringing together OF
the public in all points OF understand
ing and sympathy as a direct result
Of the rapid and general dissemina-
ton OF the newspapers by the rural
free delivery. The day of freight b.
stage coach or information by the
monthly or weekly magazine is past
knowledge accurate and immediate Is
what the people demand and what
they are receiving, but it Is sad to
consider that North Carolina should
have $50 more rural free delivery car
riers than Virginia, because North
Carolina has better roads.-Richmond

Of progress toward his later skill In
1773, when he was eight years old,
his mother, having previously taught
him to read and write, sent him to
q school kept by Mr.. Caleb Johnson,
Quaker gentleman Of pronounced
Tory principles-so pronounced. in
fact, that he narrowly escaped with
his life during the revolution. But
Robert Fulton did not care for books.
and he began at early age to
search for problems never mastered
and bound in print. This greatly dis
tressed the Quaker teacher, who spar
ed not the rod; and it is said that
In administering such discipline on
the hand OF Robert Fulton, he one
day testify exclaimed: There, that
will make you do something!" To
which Robert, with folded arms, re-
piled: Sir, came to have something
beaten into my brains, and not into
my knuckles." Without doubt he was
trial to his teacher.
He entered school one day very
late, and when the master inquired
the reason, Robert, with frank inter
est, replied that he had been at
Nicholas Miller's shop pounding out
lead for a pencil. ut Is the very best
I ever had. sir" he affirmed as he
displayed his product. The master,
after an examination OF the pencil.
pronounced it excellent. When Rob
ert's mother, who had been distress
by hts lack Of application to his
studies, expressed to his teacher her
pleasure at signs OF Improvement, the
latter confided to her that Robert
had said to him: "My head is SO full
Of original notions that there is no
vacant chamber to stow away the
contents of dusty books"
These incidents to the contrary, It
is nevertheless true that ROBERT
Fulton did absorb a good knowledge
of the rudiments of education.-FroT

LIGHT BOOZE
Do You Drink 1t?

A minister's wife had quite tus-
sic with coffee, and her experience is
interesting. She says:
During the two years of my train
ing as nurse, while on night duty,
I became addicted to coffee drinking.
Between midnight and four in the
morning, when the patients were
asleep, there was little to do except
make the rounds, and it was quite
natural that I should want a good,
hot cup Of coffee about that time. 1t
stimulated me and 1 could keep
awake better.
after three or four years of coffee
drinking / became a nervous wreck,
and thought that simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
L was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks, sometimes SO severe as to
keep me in bed for several days.
after being married, Husband
begged me to leave on coffee, for he
feared that it had already hurt me
almost beyond repair, so resolved
to make an effort to release myself
from the hurtful habit.
II began taking Postum and for a
few days felt the languid, tired feel
ing from the lack of the stimulant,
but I liked the taste of Postum, and
that answered for the breakfast bev-
erage all right.
Finally I began to feel clearer
headed and had steadier nerves. At
ter years use of Postum / now feel
like new woman-have not had any
bilious attacks since left off coffee"

duty.
Lost Ten Pounds
IT haven't anything on my mind just
now except the after-cure," said Mr..
Hartman, land l want you fellows to
help me do that. I've left ten pounds
on the other side, and 4 thought I
could better get it back on home cook
ing. Ten pounds off a little fellow like
me is a NDod deal"
Mr.. Hartman was taken to Arden,
where for time 1t appeared he was on
the road to recovery. No longer ago
than Monday of last week Mr.. Harri-
man, in requesting that newspaper men
be withdrawn from Arden, dictated a
characteristic statement declaring that
he was getting along nicely and that If
there was any change in his condition
he would inform the newspapers.
IF there is anything serious 1 will
let the newspapers know, and as
have never deceived them l ask that
the press withdraw their representa-
tives and rely on me.
This request was readily complied
with, and not until Mr. Harriman's re-
lapse on Saturday last was the vigil
renewed.
The feeling among the financial men
of New York on the effect of Mr.. Har-
riman's death on the financial world is
one of confidence.

DECLARES HARTMAN
WAS GREAT GENIUS

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. Edward
H. Hartman was the greatest railroad
genius. the country ever has produced,
and personally he was lovable char
acter He was little understood by the
public
Such was the tribute paid by e. E.
Calvin, vice president and general man
ager of the Southern Pacific, to his late
chief.
Hartman was well loved by the
men who were associated with him as
subordinates in the railroad world,
Mr.. Calvin continued. HE studied the
characteristics of his officers, and when
satisfied with them they had his fullest
confidence.
Because of Harrifnan's genius Tor
organization I think his death viii
have comparatively little effect on his
plans for the improvement of the roads
under his control All the big under
takings in the west mapped out by him
were planned in detail, so that 1 be-
lieve they will be carried out by his
associates without the slightest inter
ruption.
LAS to who will succeed Hartman /
have no official information, julius
Kruttschnitt and ]. C. Stubbs always
have been closely in touch with Harrl-
mans plans, and so far as 1 know they
will continue to execute the details"

SAYS HARTMAN WAS
KIND, GENEROUS AND
PRODIGAL IN PLANS

OMAHA, Sept. 9.-Vice President
Mohler of the Union Pacific in discuss
ing Mr.. Harriman's death, said:
1.-THE various states through which
the Union Pacific operates have lost
in the death of Mr.. Hartman one OF
their best friends He was prodigal,
almost, in the way of expenditures in
Improving conditions for the public
and naturally his enormous expen--
ditures have enhanced the value OF
everything surrounding it.
He was generous to a fault, ex-
ceedingly kind-hearted, never resentful,
no matter to what extent provoked,
and during my entire acquaintance
with him 1 never heard him speak i'll
of any person.
"He fully appreciated the friendly
sentiment expressed by the people or
the great west, to whose interest he
devoted his great abilities and sacr1-
feed his life.
"As to the future management of
the Union Pacific and the Hartman
lines, I am in no position to give any
information and 1 have no knowledge,
but one thing is certain, that a prop
erty having such wide influence, in
such fine physical condition and with
such magnificent prospects can do
nothing else but maintain its credit
and be as vast a benefit to the country
which it traverses in the future as Mr..
Hartman has made it in the past"

LONDON DISCUSSES
HARRIMAN'S DEATH;
MARKET DECLINES

LONDON, Sept. sc. H. Harriman's
death is made the leading feature OF
many London newspapers, which print
portraits and long articles on his ca
reer. The news of his death came too
late to gather opinions of British finan-
cial magnates. but the general opinion
in financial circles is that the disturb
ance of the stock market here will be
only temporary and slight, some even
thinking that there may be an upward
reaction in prices.
There has been a gradual dwindling
of market values during Mr.. Harri-
mans illness, and as the speculative
commitments in American securities
have been very small in London, the
effect of his death has largely been dis
counted.
Today, however, is the concluding
day of the fortnightly settlement, and
MANY rumors are afoat Of difficulties
in the American market owing to the
recent decline in prices.
According to one rumor it is asserted
that a European syndicate is being
formed to support prices; according to
another, a big operator is in trouble.
A feeling of anxiety therefore prevails.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-10

either that or something broke. He
was not a dummy. Nor could he have
controlled all these properties, only a
fraction of which he could have owned
personally, unless his business asso-
ciates reposed the greatest confidence
in his integrity and ability. 1t was
his power of organization, of construc-
ton his intimate knowledge of the
whole country as it related to railroad
ing, his daring methods and his sue
cess that won him their allegiance. He
became far and away the greatest rail-
road power of his day and perhaps of
any day that the country has yet
known. There may be railroad kings
in future that will control more mile
age, but none up to his own time.
His latest dream of making the New
York Central a part of his gigantic
system was coming to fruition only
when death snatched him away from
It,. Even as 1t was, the greatest of our
railroads was listed as a Hartman
property, and it's stocks moved in SYM
pathy with his group. To combine
that old and rich system with his Pa
cific roads into one gigantic whole was
the work of a financial titan. 1t was
not a thing that small man would
even have dared to plan.
Another cherished dream of a more
intimate nature was on the eve of ac-
complishment, but was never to be
realized. For more than a score of
years Mr.. Hartman had owned an es-
tate of $4,000 acres near Arden, over
looking Tuxedo Park. Here, on the top
of one of the Ramapo mountains, he
was finishing a great castle that was
to have been his home in old age
Here he went for the "after cure"
when he returned from his vain health
seeking in Europe, and here amid the
sound of hammers as workmen COM
pleted the last wing of the house, he
breathed his last. 1t was a fitting
music to toll out the life of one whose
chief claim to mems regard is that he
was a builder.

Controlled Whatever He Touched
After reading all that list one can
wonder not only that he died SO soon,
but that he lived so long, for be II
understood that Edward II. Hartman
was no mere perfunctory director
whatever he touched he controlled
