George Gable lectured to large audience
at Scranton, Pa. short time since When
the lecturer was introduced he was received
with dead silence, whereupon he stated that
for him to appear at his best before an audi

greeted with some sort of noise The noise
came and Mr.. Cable proceeded with the
lecture. 1t has long been known that Mr.
Gable is fond of applause, and is not par
ticular about his methods of getting it. If
he would confine himself to this latest plan
there would be less occasion for criticising

One of Mr.. Depaw's Stories.
From the Pb{lndeI1lbi(t P,.oec

Mr.. Depew told me anecdote some time
ago which illustrates this policy A good many
years ago young freight clerk was employed
at one of the country stations on the Erie rail
road. He was farmers boy, who had nothing
but a common school education, but was re-
garded as pretty bright chap. He vindicated
this youthful reputation by his manage nent of
the little freight business to which he had To
attend, and was soon transferred to a more i'm
portant place near Buffalo. There he began to
reveal the genius that was in him by s1i ygest-
ing certain new methods of dealing with
freight, and there he came under the eve of
Commodore Vanderbilt Some time later
after the consolidation of the Hudson River
and New YORK Central railroads, the old com
mOdore desired to get man to take charge
of the freight business and thought
of this young man. He sent for him aud
offered him salary of $4,000 year to assume
the duties of master of freight Transportation
The clerk was rosy checked. yellow haired
young man, who at once accepted the offer with
such confidence in his abilities as to please tha
old commodore, who hated man who had no
self-conhdence. Not long after he took charge
a very complicated and difficult problem in
freight transportat on arose; 1t puzzled the
young fellow so that he could not sleep NIGHTS
If he made mistake he felt that it would be
fatal TO his reputation, probably to his career.
while if he succeeded he would simply accom-,
plish what he had been hired to do. At last IN
his anxiety, he ventured to call upon the old
commodore stated the difficulty to him. and
asked advice. The old man looked at him n
moment and then said:
Jim, whut does the New York Central hire
you forl''
''"ro take charge of the freight transporta
ton"
well, do you expect am going to earn your
salary for your
That was all the commodore said and the
young man turned on his heel and left him He
went out and acted on his own judgment: acted
with unerring foresight and was soon pro
NOTED to the presidency. Later on he sue
ceeded William II. Vanderbilt as President of
the New York Central system. That was the
career of Jim Rutter MIR Depew said, and he
characterized Rutter as one of the greatest rail
road geniuses that the age of railroadng has
produced Rutter killed himself in the service
of the Central by overwork a habit which Mr.
|, Depew neither encourages by his own example
or favors in any of his employees.

announcement of the approach and pro-
