like a tall price to pay Juat to keep a flat roof over one - * head, hut to the i of the Vunderbills, .with hi* perience of *35,000 mites at tho Astoria and one of *40.000 at the Plaza. It Is a mere bagatelle.

Next to them and stretching op Piccadilly to Apaley house, the town residence of the duke of Wellington, wh!ch_abut» Hyde park, are the several residence* occupied by the famous Rothschild family,

kings of finance.

The building In which Vanderbilt has taken up hla quarters has a frontage on Piccadilly of almost 30 feet and on Park lane of about 300 feeL U Is of gray granite, rather fantastically and ostentatiously ornamented with glazed green brick. There are flats (over there they have not learned the nice distinction between flat and apartment), each one of which contains len large bedrooms, throe bathrooms. a number of smoking, billiard and drawing rooms, cloakrooms, kitchen. halls.' bAidolrs and a great ballroom. A man without any family with him ought to worry Along on that.

He ha* brought only a fresh Intelligence and the most logical of brains to bear open the game of chess he has won by fore*o“lng every possible play before the bend of hi* adversary touched th* pawn*. To *um it all up in a word. Mr. Hitchcock has made the experiment of applying the principles of tbs trained scientist to the analysis of political affairs. This makes him unique In American politics, and it may well be the forerunner of many of the political loaders of th* future. No study of this young cam pal gt manager which Ignored the two malt element* In his Intellectual make uj would be complete He has the re •peel for orderly processes of the mind which charecteriiea the scientist; be has the Imagination which fits-upon the framework of the living voter. These two 9nilltles of mind, to rare In any individual, are the things which strike the observer of Mr. Hitchcock.

It Is characteristic of the man that he looked on at the straggle af Uiea* two tendencies In himself. In th* early years, almost with Indifference. He did not know whether be would tore a scientist or S politician. Aa s matter of fact, he did not greatly care: he waa merely'curious to oee which •Id* of nature would prove the strongand more vital. •* “} believe that 1 ffiired for science genuinely,” be said In bl» office at the Coliseum Anne* one day while the convention waa In session. “Indeed. is my first lot *. only It was never perfectly In the r.cendant No man who has crossed even the outer threshold of the house of science can fall to feel the thrill with which it Inspires th* inquirer. Its very aloofness is an added charm, but the man who succumbs to its allurements mast 1st

many things die In him."

Mr. Hitchcock knows himself thoroughly. Not that be is Introspective. HO is far from that, apparently, or at least from the kind of weakness that grows too often from n habit of introspection. But be knows Jnst where to lay his haad on every avallabl* bit of djRamie energy when the ' need art&ss He does not strike you as being self-conscious, hot as being poised

Mr. Hitchcock has. always been a bard worker, with tremendous powers cbncentratlou. and he rarely do .■Fried bis headquarters before mid nlpht- This pace he kept up for six months before he was ready to Chicago and show the results. At a matter of fact, he has not allowed himself a vacation for taro yean, an) then he took just the time that Is re qulred for a steamer to make the trip across the ocean and hack. Mr. Hitchcock's equipment for the work be has chosen to do Is unusually thorough. He began by getting an A. B. degree at Harvard. His special

COMPETITION ,WITH THE DEAD.

ft speaking at the anniversary dinner In London of the royal lltcran fund. Uudyard Kipling said; “If you go no farther back than the book Job you will find that letters, like the art of printing, were born perfect Some professions, law and medicine, lor example, are still in a state of evolution. Inasmuch as no expert In them seems to be quite sure that he can win a case or cure a cold. On the other hand, the calling of letters carries with It the dlimbiliUes from which these

professions are free.

• When an eminent lawyer or el clan Is once dead, he Is always dead. Hit ghost does net continue to practice In the law courts or ihexperatlsg theater. Now it cannot have escaped your attention that a writer ofu does not begin to live till he has been dead for some' time. In certain torious case* the longer he has been dead the more alive he la and the more acute la his competition against

the living.

* “I do not ask you to Imagine the feelings of a T»arrisfer exposed U competition of all the dead lord chan cellors that ever rat on the woolsack, each delivering Judgments on any conceivable case at six pence per jndt iL paper bound. I only ask you to snow that what lawyers cull the 'dead hand'—In this case with a pen In »- Ues heavy on the cal ting of letters."
