DIR. DEPEw AND SHE"
Famous Orator Has to Explain One OF
His Little Jokes.
(New York Journal.)

(New York JOurnaL)
DR.. Chauncey NJ. Depew as kept busy
yesterday explaining the meaning Of the
statement he made at the St Andrews
Society dinner that he should not remain
long with the diners, as ''she" was wait
ng for him, and ''you know how that is.
1T was all joke" he said yesterday
TT happened this way: / was invited
to respond to toast at the dinner, and
neglected to mark it on my calendar. As
] was leaving my Office | recalled the en-
lement, and between her and my house
! thought over what ] would say. / took
dinner at O'Clock, and attended the OPP
era with a party. Shortly before 10
o'clock excused myself from the party
for forty minutes, and rove as rapidly as
| could to Delmonico's, where the dinner
was held. / reached there just as Ad-
miral Erben had concluded speaking, and
explained to President Tod that if | was
to supeak / must do so quickly, as it was
necessary for me to get back to the opera.
"Scotchmen are methodieal, and when
they arrange a programme they do not
want it changed. l was introduced, and
at the conclusion noticed that some of
them were not pleased, and | had to say
something. Then it occurred to me to
say what would appeal to tender chord
in every heart. / said she was waiting
for me- 1t took immensely. One Scotch
man said: God bless the lassie, and
everything was SATISFACTORY. 1t was all
a joke-a plain, simple joke"
'Is it a fact that you are engaged to
be married to Miss Collins" was asked.
DIR. Depew balanced a pen on the end of
his finger a moment and said: ITO be en-
gagged to be married has a tendency to
| demonstrate that one is poular, and to
deny the report is like dropping raw
| oyster under your collar / like oysters,
but not in that way. I deny or affirm
nothing promise you that when / am
engaged to be married / shall first an
nounce the fact to you boys her at my
| desk"
'It may be inferred, then, that the en-
gagement does not already exist?"
"Now, I will explain that
| At this moment Mr.. w. x Vanderbilt
| entered Mr.. Depew's Office, and the in
| teryiew was abruptly ended. Bookmakers
are willing to place odds that DR.. Depew
is engaged to be married, and that the
| ceremony viii take place next fall.
