told that he was the son of Mr.. Westing-
house. the inventor of the air-brake, and
that this evening costume of his was mild
and dull compared with the gorgeous vest
ments in which he was arrayed upon high
social occasions Some ladies were pre-
sent in the corridor and endeayored to ex
change a few remarks with the young
nobleman, but they found him exceedingly
rude and not specially bright. l have
alwas had a sort of sympathy for Young men
born TO riches and power. o me there has
always been pathetic side to prince, and
L have been generous enough TO excuse
most of their shortcomings upon the ground
that their breeding and environments were
such as to prevent them from developing
into true men, AS | contemplated this
little prince of Westinghouse the other
evening 1 found my self wondering what
sort of an American citizen he would prove
to be. What ideas of life can he have, in
dulged and surrounded as he iss | tried to
contrast his present situation with that
which his distinguished father must have
occupied at the same age Through his
labor, genius and his energy, Mr. Westing-
house has made great fortune and has
conferred great blessings upon mankind.
Who can imagine any outcome from his
spoiled and pampered heir! Still, If this
boy has secured the love and adulation of
one fond parent, he has au important place
in life and his mission has not been a use
less one.
JOLLY RAILRoADER.
Mr.. Depew's influence on the officers of
the New York Central Railroad company
canno5 have failed, of couse, to the bene-
hcial and pleasing in more ways than one.
But whether or not it is responsible for the
development or the revelation to the public
of the wit and humor of George Fl. Daniels,
the general passenger agent, who is so
president OF the Quaint club and one of the
most popular New Workers after dinner,
Mr. Daniels friends are not altogether dis
posed TO concede Certain it is that MIR.
Daniels is one Of the best fellows in the
world. People who know him well enough
to be rude, add, land one Of the ugliest."
But II Is not so. He is stout and short and
wears beautiful red wisp of beard on his
chin and an old fashioned auburn roach on
his brow. But he has vocal as well as
mental charms which easily secure him the
credit of being an Apollo. Few club presi-
| dents sing as well as he or make more
painstaking studies in natural history.
The Quaint club, under his presidency, is
| fast becoming worthy rival of those other
| famous dining organizations, the Clover
/ club OF Philadelphia, and the Gridiron club
of Washington. DIR. Depew and ex-Collec-
| tor Erhardt, MIR. Arkell and Artist Gillian
and other well-known New Workers are
regular attendants at the Quaint clubs
monthly dinners. Daniels is shrewd and
tactful and ready "preslder." He also
seems to know how to make the cat Jump.

For few mouths Sadie Marhnot, the
plump little person who has just made her
