And, by gad, I didn't care for it!" No doubt I should have learned more concerning this purely British custom if the Pierpont Morgan of Pennsylvania hadn't called on Blakely for a speech, just then. Poor Blakely! He didn't know at all how to make a speech. Thought I must say I was rather glad of it; the most tiresome thing about Americans is their eternal speechmaking, I think.
Upon this notice of his attention you should write him a letter of acknowledgment for his hospitality, &c., which you may enclose to me at Washington. Dear little Anna is shortly to be married to a Mr. Pierpont, whom I do not personally know; but he is said to be rich and handsome a young man of industry and credit as a merchant. I think it will do pretty well.
Eventually he brought forth a square sheet of paper it had a certain familiarity of aspect for Mrs. Pumpelly and handed it to her. "Sorry to disturb you, ma'am," he apologized, "but I was instructed to make sure and serve you personal." "That's all right! That's all right!" said Pierpont with an effort at bonhomie.

John Pierpont, than whom there could not be a more competent witness, in his brief and beautiful sketch of the life and writings of Rogers, does not overestimate the ability with which the Herald was conducted, when he says of its editor: "As a newspaper writer, we think him unequalled by any living man; and in the general strength, clearness, and quickness of his intellect, we think all who knew him well will agree with us that he was not excelled by any editor in the country."

The two powers controlling the large railroads traversing most of the New England States were the Vanderbilts and J. Pierpont Morgan. The one owned the New York Central, the other dominated the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. The Pennsylvania Railroad likewise had no intention of allowing such a powerful competitor in its own province.
Arthur Dunn, has performed most useful service in embalming a portion of Gridiron history in his volume, "Gridiron Nights." Pierpont Morgan, the greatest of American bankers, was much more than a banker. He had a wonderful collection in his library and elsewhere of rare books and works of art. He was always delightful on the social side.
As regards getting from one part to another, it is not a cheerful thing to contemplate that what should be the most agreeable way of traversing London I mean the pathway of the river should just now be closed, and while Mr. Yerkes looks out on it from his offices in the Hotel Cecil, Londoners have to look to him to see if he or Pierpont Morgan will not open it to them again.
McKenna, "to think of taking this here country out of the hands of William C. Whitney and Grover Cleveland and J. Pierpont Morgan and Ickleheimer Thalmann, and putting it in the hands of such men. What do you think about it?" "I think," said Mr. Dooley, "that Cassidy lied." "Why aren't you out attending the reunion of the Dooley family?" Mr. McKenna asked the philosopher.
