LIFE OF HARTMAN
Service Of Episcopal Church At
tended BY Department Heads
and Train Operatives
Bishop Nichols Speaks as Close
Friend in Appreciation of
Railroad President

sorrowing friends of the late Edward
copal church at $3.50 o'clock yesterday
afternoon for the impressive funeral
services conducted by Bishop William
Ford Nichols, assisted by Rev. F. W..
Clampett.
From great department heads to
train operatives men connected with
the Hartman system We're present TO
participate in the sad but impressive
services Among those in the gather
ing was Doctor Crosby of the Tamal-.
pals military academy, cousin of the
dead railroad magnate.
The beautiful burial service of the
Episcopal church was read by Doctor
Clampett, after which Bishop Nichols,
who was a close friend of Hartman,
spoke his appreciation of the great
railroad president.
FATHER SERVED IN STATE
Bishop Nichols referred to the fact
that Harriman's father. Rev. Orlando
stockton August 25 1850, and one in
Sacramento two years later. AS an in
dication of the sentiment attached to
the work of the elder Hartman in this
state it was pointed out that Hartman
two years ago materially aided in the
construction of the new Episcopal
church in Sacramento.
Il speak to many to whom Mr..
Hartman was chief, said Bishop
Nichols. 81 doubt that any one of the
Caesars could touch any of the nervous
systems of the world and have it re-
spond like it did to Mr.. Hartman. A
great chief may make his great system
work by awe and by fear, or he may
make it work by fealty."
The speaker here dwelt upon the fact
that fealty and loyalty prompted the
men of the Hartman system to put
forth their best efforts.
POWER FELT AFTER POVERTY
-'I ventured to ask Mr.. Hartman
once" said the bishop, IF it would be
physical impossibility for man
to manage all the transportation of
this country Do you think one brain,
asked, could master the detail and
manipulate all the great systems? He
thought for moment and said, yes,
he could do it if he had all the present
heads and managers of the several sys-
TENS for his lieutenants.'
After referring to the fact that many
of those present were in attendance
because they felt they had lost
friend, Bishop Nichols touched upon
the early life of Hartman.
The boy in his rectory home had
life of privation,' said the bishop. THE
fathers stipend even in the east was
very narrow. Here it was even worse.
1t might have soured the boy against
religion and soured him against his
home. but neither was the outcome"
At the close of Bishop Nichols re-.
marks Prof. Louis III. Eaton rendered
