HARRIMAN‘S DEALS. Review of Many Railroad Transactions Which Made Him Famous, and Marked by Unusual Shrewdness. (The New York Sun.) In the ml;] days of the Stock Exâ€" change Mr. Harrman also took adâ€" vantage of fortunate acquaintances. Stuyvesant Fish, who began his career in the financial district at about the same time, was one of the most imâ€" portant of them. Mr. Fish had conâ€" nections which meant good business to a broker in the way of commissions and _ Mr. Harriman profited from them. _ Presently he orfianiud the ~Ctock Exchange firm of Harriman & Co., still in existence, though Mr. Harriman long ago retired from it. He remained a member of the Stock Exchange, however, up to the time of his death. Stuyvesant Fish‘s friendship was turned to even better account a few years later when in 1883 Mr. Fish was made vicok-rruidont of the Illinois: Central. r. Fish as soon as posâ€" sible used his influence to secure the election of his friend Hartiman to the Illinois Central board. It turned out later that this was the worst move in railroad politics that Mr. Fish ever made for himself, for, as is well known, it was Mr. Harriman who put Mr. Fish out of the board of directors and the presidency in later f'ean, By the same token it was as mappy a development for Harriman as it was unhappy for Fish. The opportunity to realize the dream of railroad empire came through this connection with Kuhn, Loeb & Co., in that period of the first McKinley adâ€" ministration when Wall street was engaged in resurrecting the dead bodies of suspended railroads.. The Union Paciftic was one of them and ons of them that seemed to some of the most powerful reorganizers dead beyond the hogo of resurrection. Mr. Harriman had studied it closely though differently and persuaded his bankers to think as he did. The unâ€" shot was that when the government sold the road at auction tfie bankers had a syndicate organized and &nt in the successful bid. The Vanderâ€" bilts and Goulds, the Ameses of Bosâ€" ton and James Stillman, of the City Bank were in the syndicate, and outâ€" siders, knowing little of Harriman and caring less, considered him as its least important member. In curâ€" rent parlance the syndicate was charâ€" acterized as a Vanderbilt syndicate and the Union Pacifie was put in the list of the Vanderbilt roads. The syndicate paid the government about $60,200,000 for the 1,800 miles of poor track and worn out equi(rment then owned by the company an pnie EEEEnP PME T mC OOR CDE LR 007 an additional sum to bondholders and for the purchase of minor tributary lines. It then brought out a reorâ€" gnhed company . with $100,000,000 nds, $75,000,000 preferred stock and $61,000,000 common. The common, now worth not far from double its pat value, was divided up all around. Most of the remaining securities were turned over to the syndicate to: reimâ€" burse it for its advances to the govâ€" erament and to bondholders and for the purchase of minor lines. whi M to make acquisitions that otherwise would To this Oregon Short Line in 1901 was turned over a controlling interest in the Southern Pacific, a company so superior to Union Pacific in mileage and _ reâ€" sources at that time that the transâ€" mction was described as certainly one ease in which the tail actually did wag the dog. With the Southern â€" Pacific came the Central Pacific, which is conâ€" trolled, and the Union Pacific now did not end "in the air" at Ogden, but had a direct central line to the Pacifiec coast at San Francisco. Meanwhile as a side line Mr. Harriâ€"| man had become interested in Kansas City Southern, a railroad built largly with Dutch money from Kansas City to the Gulf of Galveston, and with the assistance of Khun, Loeb & Co. had acquired control of the Chicago & Alton. He was in control of neither at the time of his death, and his work with neither did anything to enhance his rer:tution either as a railroad man of & financier From the Kansas City Southern he was eliminated after a fight for stock conâ€" trol, in the course of which it was elugedththhdkt the road run es U 2 noad voted himgelf, after From the Kansas City SOUPN®®! °* ""_" eliminated after a fight for stock conâ€" trol, in the course of which it was charged that he had let the road run down and had voted himself, after ostensibly serving for nothinf as chairâ€" man of the executive comm ttee, back salary at the rate of $25,000 a year. Representatives of the Dutch stockâ€" holders portrayed him as a new type of railroad wrecker. Mr. Harriman‘s friends always hot!ly denied the accusaâ€" tion, but v{:tenr its truth he never again appeared in such a role.

The transâ€" action was old and fairly well known in the financial district at the time of the interstate commerce commission‘s investigation of the Harriman lines in 1906, but the details brought greater general censure on the Harriman party than any other financial transaction. The syndicate, it was shown, had reâ€" ceived or voted itself 30 per cent. diviâ€" dend soon after the reorganization, and had taken the new company‘s 3 per cent bonds at 63 and sold them to ‘life insurance companies, among others | at 96. The defence of Mr. Harriman and his associates was â€" that the new capitaliâ€" ration was justified by the back carnings, ‘ put into the property in capital expendiâ€" ltm'e, but never capitalized. and in the new money expended on the road in improvements and _ extensions. _ The synmdicate. purchase of bonds at 65, it was added, was justified, for a 3 per cent. bond at 65 equalled a 5 per cent. bond at par, and the railway at the time of reorganization had no credit sufficient to justify a borrowing at better than 5 per cent. That the marâ€" ket price of the bonds advanced subseâ€" quently was due to other cireumstances than the credit of the road. One of these cireumstances was that the bonds were accepted as proper investment for insurance companies and savings b.nll:‘s, Lo us t can s aiiante > Ankan s $ in P a matter that was discussed in the life insurance investigation in connection with the relations between Mr. Harriâ€" man and Governor Odell. _ w cce tssc h d 4d t it PnA Having _ acquired _ the Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and Alton prior to the lpring of 1901, Mr. Harriman and his associates in that year took exception to the purchase of the Chicago, Burlington & Quiney by James J. Hill and Mr. Hill‘s associates. They insisted that this acâ€" quisition threatened the community of interest among roads in the West and Northwest and retaliated by endeavoring to wrest the Northern Pacific from Mr. HWill. The contest led to the Northern Pacific corner, which cu‘minated on May 0, 1901, when Northern Pacific soared to 1,000 and the entire stock market went to pieces. Shorts were permitted b’y" a compromise settlement to cover their contracts and the contestants got togeâ€" ther to stay the panic. On the showâ€" down the }lyurimw party had a majorâ€" ity of shares, including common and preâ€" ferred, but the Hill party, which had a major{ty of the common, was in eontrol of the road and had the right to retire the preferred at par. All interests finâ€" ally bunched their holdings of Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Burlington in a new holding company, the Northern Securities Company. _ Subsequently the courts dissolved the Northern Securities Company under the Sherman Antiâ€"Trust law and ordered the return of the stock of the roads to prior holders.

The Harriman lines had secured most of the mone{ for the Northern Pacific fight by the sale of part of an unauthorized issue of, $100,â€" 000,000 Union Pacific convertible bonds. But shortly before the contest Mr. Harâ€" riman had been elected a trustee of the Equitable Life Insurance Society and had borrowed $2,700,000 from that instiâ€" | tution, presumably to defray in part his | share of the campaign expenses. From | that time until the life insurance inves \| tigation in 1905 he increased his influâ€" | ence in the Ectuitable. and when the row . | broke out between James Hazen Hyde p and President Alexander, Mr. Harriman 1 endeavored to secure control of the comâ€" pany. _ _The manner in which he was * | thwarted b{ Thomas F.

At any rate, the Keene pool was smashed, Mr. Keene encountering his most costly reâ€" verse. By the sale of Great Northern and Northern Pacific stocks, it was shown, and reinvestment of the proceeds, the Union Pacific and its controlled comâ€" panies had secured at an expenditure of about $150,000,000 these stocks: $28,â€" 000,000 Illinois Contral, $39,500,000 Balâ€" timore & Ohio, $14,000,000 New â€" York Contral, $10,000,000 Atchison and smalâ€" ler _.ocks of Saint Paul, Saint Joseph & Grand Island and Chicago & Northwestâ€" eru. Quite as important as the maguiâ€". tude of these transactions was the reveâ€" lation of Mr. Harriman‘s power as preâ€" sident of Union Pacific and Southern Pacific. Ten years before he had been regarded as the least important memâ€" ber of a syndicate buying a bankrupt road.

Sydney Fisher, the Minister of Justice was asked for an opinion as to the powers of the Fedâ€" éral Government with reference to meat inspection. EC T yau Pss LRA ET Enarang Pm His re'pg was that while these powers undoubtedly warranted the Federal Govâ€" ornment in undertaking the inspection of articles exported from the Dominion or from one Province to another, there was very grave doubt as to whether they would permit of a similar inspection of articles, the trade in which was conâ€" fined within the boundaries of any one Province. This limitation was especially applieâ€" nble to meat ‘mexection, a subject intiâ€" mately associated with public health, one of the matters which, since 1872, has been dealt with altogether by the Proâ€" vincial authorities. Provision is made either by the Muniâ€" cipal Aet or by the Public Health Act af cach Province. and in some cases by Provision is made either by the MUH! cipal Act or by the Public Health Act of each Province, and in some cases by both, for the establishment and carryâ€" ing on of municipal meat inspection, and that this legislation has, up till now, in too many cases, remained a dead letâ€" ter, or, at best, been very ineffectively enforced, is no fault of the Federal auâ€" thorities.

The sooner the private slaughter house is abolished altogether, the better for all concerned, as most of the objectionâ€" able meats placed on the market emanâ€" ate from these undesirable and unsaniâ€" tary places. o m ioh n y 1e hn 1 ENNE Bane unA tnknd UE ECCC TJhey trade in homeâ€"killed dressed carâ€" cases will also, for similar reasons, gradâ€" ually be wiped out of existence, and alâ€" though the abolition of this form _ of meat disposal will probably cause some temporary dissatisfaction among farmâ€" ers, matters will soon adjust themselves and the profits to the producer will be in no way lessened, although the livers and other offal hitherto utilized by the household will be no longer available.

The same will be found true of the abattoir and if no other argument could be advanced in favor of the Meat and Canned Goods Act than the fact that it has aroused and is arousing public opinâ€" ion on the great and important question of a sanitary meat supply, this would, in my opinion, fully justify its being placed . on the stitute books.

Dr. Grenfell, in his little book, "A Man‘s Faith," brings out very forcibly the reticence and bashfulness _ which seem to overcome the ordinary Christian whenever the chance is offered him of saying a word in favor of his faith. Perâ€" haps it is something a little more seriâ€" ous thans« diffidence, as _the_doct,ur intiâ€" ous than« diffidence, as the doctor intiâ€" . mates. He says: "It is hard not to tell news. It is harder yet not to tell good news. Not to do it makes you feel as a boy felt after a Christmas dinnerâ€"as if he ‘must burst.‘ But it is worse again when you have a truth that you know to be a truth, a truth of infinite, pracâ€" tical, daily value forever to those you love best, and yet you can not tell it. You can sing it. You can quartette it. You can monotone it. You can say it in a black coat, in vestments, at mating, at evensong, at the solemn feasts, at the new moons. But still you have not conâ€" veyed your truth to your dearest friend, the man who shared your rocms, and studied and competed with yon, who played on the team with you, and who trusted you with a pass five yards from the enemics‘ goal line.

Does it not make a man‘s heart cry out, ‘My God! is my conventional use of faith the cause of preventing others from accépting it?‘" This is a serious and searching putting of the case, and we surmise it applies to most of us and that it will be well for yPe P e i o C e o us to vl‘sy"th‘e“ad;;hition to heart and seek to discover some means of reformaâ€" MODERN METHODS.

The famons comet known as Haiâ€" Iegi's, which terrified Europe in 1848, will, next spring, pass close enough to the earth to be seen in all its glory. At the present moment the earth and the comet.are rushing towards one another at a tremendous lgloe in their several orbits, and r“n‘ ly reducing the four hundred millions of miles which separated them a short time ago. There is, however, no danger of a collision, as we shall pass in Ocâ€" tober the ss»lot at which the comet will arrive at the end of next March.blzf' May and June next year we & 1 have got around to the other side of the sun, and the comet, which will then be turning in its path into space, will be at its nearest to us. But again we shall be in front of it, and when it crosses our orbit for the second time we shall be steadily leaving it behind us. Its last appearance was in 1835, for it has a period of about 75 years. Hailey‘s Comet was so called not because he discovered it, for it had long been known, but because he was the first to calculate its orbit. and predict its return. Hailey was born in 1656, and was educated at Bt. Paul‘s School and Queen‘s College Oxford. He was a notable astron | omer, travelled much on the Conâ€" | tinent, and was a friend <oi Sir Isaac Its af)peara.nco according to the chroniclers of the time was terrible; it stretched across the sky like a wayâ€" ing flame and was of the color of molâ€" ten gold. The P0{>e, Calixtus IIL, ordered that the bells in the churches should be rung every day at noon and that universal prayer should be offered up to exercise the portent and . to check the advance of the Turks. Then at last, to the great relief of Europe, the fiery yataghen grew dimâ€" mer and fainter, and at last disapâ€" peared from the heavens. When next it aEpeared, in 1531, Solyman I. had just been repulsed at Vienna, and Europe had become accustomed to looking on Austria and Hungary as the barrier against the Turks and so comparatively little notice was taken of the comet as a Mohammedan porâ€" TOS8 tent. RHEUMATISM DRIVEN FROM THE BLOOD A Remedy Which Assists Nature Makes a Cure Which is Permaâ€" nant as This Case Proves. Every sufferer from rheumatism wants to be cured and to stay cured. The prospect of the frequent retun of the trouble is not atractive to anybody who has gone through _ one siege. _ Most treatments aim simply to ‘"keep down‘‘ the rheumatic poisons in the blood. The tonic treatment ty hundreds of cures that it builds vp the blood to a point that enables it to cast out these poisons through the regular channels of excretion â€" ibe bowels, the kidneys and the skin.

Mr. Thomas | ‘ MeNeil, Richibucto, N. B., says â€"*‘"Porâ€" | | mit me to bear testimony to _ the worth 1 of Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills as a cure for | ! acute rheumatism. My son, Frederick, 1 was subject to this painful trouble for | ! a period of eight or ten years, and durâ€" | ing this time periodical attacks would regularly occur. His last attack was a most severe one, and the pains were exâ€" cruciating in the _ extreme, . shooting through the various parts of the body to such an extent that even the apâ€" proach of any person would cause him to ery out with fear, and he had rest neither day or night. Our family doeâ€" tor, a man of skill and experience, apâ€" plied many remedies without avail, and could give no _ encouragement other than that the warmer weather then apâ€" proacaing might prove beneficial. Just at this time we noticed where some perâ€" son similarly afflicted had been cured by Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills and decided to try them. He kept on using the Pills, each succeeding box showing . improveâ€" ment, until he had taken ten boxes, when all pains and aches had completeâ€" ly disappeared, and although his mode of life is that of a fisherman, and conseâ€" quently exposed to both wet and cold, he has had no return of any of the sympâ€" toms whatever. The cure is complete, and is entirely due to Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills."
