ne had a wide acquaintance with the
people Of southern New England and
knew their interests, characteristics
and sentiments, While these we're
special and, possibly, decisive aualifl-
catlohs, they We're supplementary to a
hlgh reputation for general talent acu-
men, integrity working power and
nara, common sense
1t is mistake to suppose that Judge
HalIs service has been chiefly as legal
counselor of this company, While his
professional learning and skill have
Deen available in the consideration of
all Legal questions that have arisen, this
service is only one phase of his varied
employment and responsibility His
work has been restricted to no special
department; but has embraced all,
being as general in its scope if not as
authoritative as that of the president
himself
From the beginning he has been init
mately and confidentially associated
with the president in formulating all
the scheme of finance, consolidation,
construction and operation of both
steam and electric roads that have
marked the last six years. Their offices
in New Haven have been practically
one office, and while the president has
been absent most of the time for the
past two years giving personal atten-
ton to the extensive improvements in
and around Boston, including the great
terminal station, Judge Hail has been,
as 1t were, the presidents other self in
active management of affairs in the
western district, which are now more
multifarious and complicated than was
the whole system when President Clark
took charge II years ago.
This does not mean that Judge Halls
work has been confined to one part of
the system. He has been called into
consultation with regard to all matters
of moment everywhere. He has been of
the inner circle which deliberated upon
and determined, in general and in de-
tail, the plans Of all important engin-
eering and construction. He is thus
well acquainted with the great works
accomplished and in progress in Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut
and New York. He will, as President
Clark has done, spend a portion Of his
time at the Boston end of the line, and
railroad men at that capital will have
an opportunity Of becoming better ac-
quainted with him.
To the problems of traffic and of OPP
GRAFTON he has given earnest attention
and is thoroughly conversant with the
details of freight and passenger traffic.
His knowledge of the department of
operation is comprehensive as the re-
suit Of special study Of the conditions
of efficiency and economy in accom-
plishing results. He knows what re-
suits must be obtained from every de-
partment of the road to insure it's sue
cessful operation, and upon whom the
responsibility rests for any failure to
produce the desired results

EsTERHAzY OWES HIM $40
Operator in New Orleans Tells How
French Officer did" Him.

Count Esterhazy, who has figured so
prominently in the Dreyfus trial, has
been in New Orleans several times" said
a guest at the Grunewald Hotel II my
self saw him on one of his visits and
was present when he did some cabling to
France, the cost of which, or rather a
portion of the fee he deliberately de-
frauded the operator out of. 1t hap
pened thus:
'Esterhazy had come in town by one of
the roads from the north, and went to
the Southern Pacific depot to board a
train for the west. While waiting for
his train, he remembered that he had
some cabling to do, and walked over te
the telegraph operator in the building
and asked for blank.
THE operator gave it to him, and the
Frenchman wrote out quite lengthy
coded cablegram and addressed it to a
| private party in Paris. BY this time
| there were only few moments left for
| him to get aboard the boat, and the
operator had to hurry in looking up the
rate. To arrive at the exact figure neces-
, stated some little calculation and the
operator to expedite matters for the no.
BILE count, told him the rate and asked
him to make the calculation too.
This the Frenchman, who was evident
~ quick al figures, did, and had finished
a moment before the operator called out
his result and asked il that was what he
1 IHdUe u. GSlefudHs lOOhHO straight at
the operator second as though reading
his very thoughts. and unhesitatingly re-
piled: Tt Is correct
HE paid the amount and hurried away
A few minutes later the operator dis
covered that he had been paid just $40
less than the correct amount; he had
/ made an error in his calculation, and the
count had taken advantage of his error
to save the money. The young man i'm
mediately wired ahead of the train, ask
ing the conductor to see Esterhazy ex-
plain the calculation and request the $40
The conductor complied, but when he
had explained to the noble traveller the
latter only shrugged his shoulders and re-
piled that 1t was no concern of his. And
the operator made good the shortage
from his own salary. 1t was as clear a
case of steal as l ever heard of."-NeW

GOING THROUGH ALL RIGHT

New York, Nov. lit is now stated
that the merging of the Boston and Al
bany railroad into the New York Cen
trail system will be accomplished with
out further trouble. Senator Depew,
when seen today regarding the deal,
said:
The arrangement by which the New
York Central will acquire control of
the Boston and Albany is going through
all right. The stockholders of the Bos-
ton and Albany are to meet in Boston
Dec. 10 to vote on the matter, and 1 am
convinced that there win be little, if
any, opposition to the plan"

eyes to wander restlessiy, like hawk ON
the watch for a victim.
1t was considered more than rude for
any one, man or woman, to look aimless-
ly into space or gaze at the sky for any
length of time, and staring about IN the
street or in church was considered espe-
cially impolite; people who desire to be
considered well brought up were enjoined
not to wave their hands about in the air,
and not to place them upon the mead or
shoulders of any distinguished parsonage.
When standing both men and women
were eXhorted to place one hand over the
other near the waist A Well-bred woman,
also, when walking out Of doors, had to
place the thumb of the left hand in the
buckle or string by which her cloak was
fastened under her neck while with the
two fingers of the right hand she kept the
cloak closed.
When on horseback men We're enjoinsd
not to look at their legs but straight over
the horses head. In q book of the
twelfth century we read of a model young
woman who walked nicely and did not
look around; she did not speak TO her
mother nor greet her father neither
would she look at man or womanl'
Great weight was attached to greeting
people GIVE friendly greeting to every
one" says a French author; 1t costs
nothing, and raises you higher in the es-
timation of others =" In France it was
the custom for ladies to raise their caps
and the men bowed almost to the ground.
One of the oldest forms Of greeting among
Saxon people was 'iHatSE which was the
equivalent to May you be healthy.
Moderation in eating ana drinking was
especially recommended for ladiesi pc
cause. said one book, "a drunken woman
is rot a pleasing spectacle IL was ~
duty of the gentlemen to see that the
ladies had enough, and it was not at ali
unusual for the lady of the house or her
daughter to cut up the food for guest
whom they particularly wished to honor
