There Is a strong element among the

until the eastern lines have given the
ticket a trial. and IL they find that its
use is satisfactory the western lines may

cannot possibly get the tickets out In

likely that they will await the result of

The western roads say that they will
not abandon their large commissions on
business from Canadian points to points
In eastern Canada and New England,

A Little Incident That the President Re.
calls With Great Glee.


Some friends of the ex.postmaster gen
eral, Mr.. Bissell, were speaking to him
day or two ago Of President Cleveland's
purchase of home in Princeton, and they
said that il seemed to them that man 50
well known as Cleveland would have pre-
ferred to make his city home In New York
city.
Mr.. Bissell replied that Mr. Cleveland
sometimes wondered whether he was as
well known us his friends believed, and
then Mr.. Bissell related an anecdote that
came under his own observation when In
the cabinet.
He said that one day Kentucky friend
of the secretary of state, General Gresham,
called upon Gresham. They had been very
intimate ih earlier years, and the visitor
was cordially received. After chatting for
awhile Mr. Gresham said, II want 10 take
you and introduce you to the president and
some of tho members of the cabinet and
other famous men. -
And the Kentuckian was pleased, say
ing that he had never seen Cleveland or
any member OF the cabinet excepting Car
Isle. Mr.. Gresham took his friend by the
arm, led him from the state department.
across the street and through the White
House grounds, talking earnestly with
him all the while.
They were absorbed in conversation
when they entered the White House, and
almost mechanically mounted the stairs,
passed through the outer offices, and, with.
out waiting 20 bo announced, walked into
the library where the president was seated
ut a table.
Then General Gresham seemed suddenly
to realize tic rather unconventional way
IN which he had entered, and he said as
tho president looked up, II have come to
present my friend, Colonel - of Ken
tucky."
Mr.. Cleveland arose very cordially, held
out his hand with a hearty manner, and
received tho rather limp and perfunctory
grasp Of tho kentucky friend, who, turn
ing to General Gresham, said, "What
name did you say2,,
There was confusion for q moment, the
president struggled hard TO maintain his
composuro and did his best 10 temper the
embarrassment of tho Kentucky gentleman
who found that be had been presented to
