Among the philanthropic organizations

upon the receipt by Superintendent H. F.
Anderson of a telegram from Vice Presi-
dent Thornwell Fay conveying . the de-
plorable Information of the wizard's
death.
An atmosphere of solemnity pervaded
the offices and shops of tho road whose
directing head had «o shortly before fallen
Into the sleep that knows no awaking.
Orders have been Issued for the draping
In crepe of all the property of the great
system that bears the dead man's name,
and, In accordance with a time-honored
custom in the active railroad world, every
wheel will cease, every pleco of machinery
come to a sudden stop and every official
and employe of the system suspend his
work tor a brief period as the body of
the railroad king Is laid in the sepulclier.
Every part of tho vast organism of tills
system ol' railroads stopped Its continuous
motion aa the body of Oollis P. Hunting-
ton was lowered Into the grave, and simi-
larly as the corpse of tho martyred Presi-
dent. William McKlnlo" wont to Its final
resting place. It Is the most touching
manifestation of grief and respect that
such prodigious enterprises can make.
Han Antonio knows Mr. Harriman
and deplores his loss. It does not know
Ha.rrlimi.il, tho financier, the railroad
wizard, but Harriman, tho man, the phi-
lanthropist, whose heart beat in perfect
harmony with the misery of his fellows.
Mr. IIa.rlma.n s fortnight of recuperation
In liilb city acquainted numberless citi-
zens with his merits as a ouui, and every-
one who became familial' with his Inner
pelf has pothLng hut encomiums to be-
stow upon Ills memory.
Jack McDevitt. the station master at the
Southern Pacific Depot, perhaps, became
better acquainted with Mr. Harriman
than anyone else hi San Antonio. At the
instance of Superintendent Anderson, Mi.
McDevitt was constantly in Mr. llarri-
dian's company, and was the financiers
companion during the long hours ol. the
day when his attention was devoted to
Ills own physical upbuilding.
WAS FOND OF CHILDREN.
"Mr. Harriman was devoted lo chil-
dren.'' said Mr. McDevitt Jan t inglit. "Just
behind the Hut Wells Hotel tlS'l'e lived
tho family of a carpenter, comprising six
or eight" children. The little tots hail
built them a merry-go-round and in the
afternoons they uaeu to frolic and play
Willi that toy In high glee. Whenever lie
heard their childish voices Mr. Harriman
would walk to the fence, and calling them
to him. would talk to them for a lullr un
hour or more, ills attitude toward them
was typically paternal. He sympathized
with their childish troubles and rejoiced m
their Jokes and Joys. Tl-ey loved him and
showed their aftectlon by reposing ln
him their childish confidences."
Willie ln San Antonio Mr. Harriman
was continually performing some charit-
able deed. He instructed ills secretary,
Mr Price, to hear the story of uny per-
son in 111 health or Indigent circumstances
that might cp.11 when he was unable to
accord his personal attention.
Mr. Harriman saw me talking to a
consumptive one day," said Mr. McDevitt.
He asked me what the poor fellow need-
ed. I told him that he merely wanted a
moment's conversation With Mr. Harri-
man. The old gentleman told me to send
him In to see him In the car. When the
stck man went Into tho car every trace
of woe and trouble waa on his face;
when he rame out his features were
wreathed In smiles and had been calmed
by the experience of a real Joy."
pany of men. "San Antonio," said he.
"can certainly be proud of her citizens.'
Mr. Harriman also had a sense of
humor. Accompanying his party was a
masseur of New York, who was said to
la- pretty clever with the gloves# Mr.
McDevitt as an amateur is himself a
haitdv man In a boxing match, and one
day Mr. Harriman said to lilin: "Captain.
1 hear you arc pretty clever with the
gloves. King thinks ho Is somewhat of
a wonder, if lie ever says anything about
putting on the lulls with vmi; 'Us sure
and take him up, and If you bring first
blood I II give vou the finest suit of
clothes in Han Antonio."
On another occasion, while Mr Harri-
man was taking his walk, followed
closely by Mr. Melievltf. a large flog ran
out at the wizard In a threatening way
that would have disturbed the equanimity
of most ageing men. Not so with Mr.
Harriman, however, "Now, lei's call It
u draw," suid the magnate. "You let mo
alone, and I won't bother you." Mr. M' -
pevltt's coming put u quick end to the
belligerency of the dog.
Sheriff Lindsay paid his respects to the
railroad king one day. "Tliev didn't at-
tach any weights to your slierlff while
he was growing." was Mr. Harrlman's
comment. "He's a line man."
When Mr. Harriman broke his eamp he
gave away the tents and the piping In the
nterest of charity, "He did much char-
itable work that Is known," said Mr. Mc-
Devitt, "hut the most of It was concealed

APPRECIATED HAN ANTONIO.
When Mr. Harriman left San Antonio
he expressed Ills appreciation of Its cli-
mate and Its people. "I feel a hundred
per cent better than when I came," he
told Mr. McDevitt. "You have a wonder-
tul climate and your people are tbe es-
sence of hospitality."
"When I sew Mr. Harriman," said W

AKDFJtf. X. Y„ Sept. 9.-E«iwnrd IT.
Harriman, the greatest org;uiizer of
railroads tho world has ever known, nwt!
the only lasting defeat of his active life I
today at the hands of death.
Hooluded ln hJii magnificent home on '
Tower Hill, surrounded by members oC
hlfl family, physicians and nurses, ho
succumbed to an Intestinal disorder this
uftornoon after a fight against dlsoase
which will rank for sheer grit, with
runmrkable struggles ln the financial
world.
Tho exact time of his death Is known
only In that limited elrclo of relatives
and asstn'lates who had so effectively
shield* il Mr. Harriman from alV outside
annu.s urw*^ during his last Illness. The
lime was given to the world jis 3:f>3 p.
m., but Mrs. Mary Htmons, ulster of the
dead man. said tonight that the end had
tome at 1:30, more than two hours pre-
vious.
Whether this apparent discrepancy has
any bearing on the <*urront belief that
every effort wan made to lessen the ef-
fect of the financier's death on the New
York Stock ICxehange is problematic.
Hut It is significant that the time of
his death as officially announced was
Just thlity-flve minutes after trading
had ceased on lhe New York exchange.
MIND BRILLIANT TO END.
Mr. Harriman died peacefully and to
the end his brilliant mind retained its
Integrity. After a relapse on Sunday he
sank slowly and soon after the noon
hour today there came another relapse,
which marked the approach of the end.
His wife, two daughters, the Misses
Mary and ("arol, arid his sons, Walter
and Roland, who have been constantly
with him, assembled at the bedside and ft
carriage was hastily dlspatchod for Mrs.
Simons, whose home Is here in Arden,

"Uke most men who delight In thp so-
ciety of children, Mr. Harriman was In-
tensely fond of music. "He would sit
for hours," said Mr. McDevitt, "and listen
to the aonga and melodies that came
across from the park. It seemed to rest
him as nothing else would do.''
Mr. Harriman conceived a profourtd
liking for Ran Aiitunlo, Its cltlsens and
municipal a/fairs. He asked about all

progress of f7an Anfonlo and Its territory.
HIGH REGARD FOR MAYOR.
"He took a great fancy to Mayor Cal-
laghan." said Mr. McDevitt "After the
Mayor hsd left the camp one day Mr.
Harrlmsn said to me: 'Captain, the
Mayor is a fltu» fellow: I like him.' " His
attitude toward the clttiena of San An-
