Shippers Dine Traffic Men
NEW YORK, Feb. 25-Traf1c managers
representing all the Eastern railroad
and coast steamer lines, and others rep
resentng industrial companies, whose
shipments amount to $500 tons day, and
whose freight bills amount to $4,000 900
year, sat together in harmony at a
common interest luncheon given at the
ArkWrght club. The dinner was nota-
ble as being the first attempt to bring
INTO close relationship the representatives
OF the railroads and the large shippers
OF the country, and every speaker declar-
eel that 1T must result in bringing about
relationship such as the common in
terest" relationship which J. Pierpont
Morgan has been 50 largely instrumental
IN establishing between the railroads

rangement Of that dinner which Mrs
Cornelius Vanderbilt is giving for the
kaisers brother
This dinner, by the by, is giving rise
to q vast amount of heart burning in So
ciety. Mrs. Vanderbilt's invitations will
be limited to fifty, whose names must pre-
viously be submitted to the prince for
his approval-Wheras her friends and ac-
quaintances who consider that they have
a right to be asked to an entertainment
of this kind, number many hundreds
Kyrle Bellew, the actor received an en-
thusiastic welcome at Columbia uniVer-
sity when he addressed the students on
''the most interesting features Of practi-
cal mining in the gold fields Of Austria
liza"
For the first time in many seasons"
the actor began, II am suffering from
severe attack of stage fright
Mr.. Bellew used as his text Horace
Greeley's Young man, go West"
First TO the West" he said, 1--WE find
the great gold fields of the United States;
then across the seas the untold wealth Of
South Africa.
Teachers for Our New Wards
On the United States army transport
Mcclellan, which sailed for Manila were
200 school teachers. They go to teach
Filipinos the English language and the
school system of this country. There were
eighty women among them. If the hap
penings on the last transport bearing
teachers to the Philippines be repeated,
the Mcclellan will be a matrimonial bu-
reau before she touches Manila.
Astor's Son as a Liberal
Rumor here says that young Waldorf
Astor has taken up politics as follower
Of Lord Rosebery. His father, who is
a professed Tory, and a member of the
Tory Carlton club, disapproves of the
young man assocIating himself even with
such innocuous Liberalism as the Earl
of Rosebery advocates
Speaking at a political supper in Ldv-
erpool, Lord Rosebery mentioned that his
second son, Neil Primrose, 'accompan-
led by a very brilliant and distinguished
young friend" had stolen away from the
university to attend that meeting. The
friend was w. w. Astor Jr, who then
addressed the company, observing:
There are two things admire in Liv-
erpool-its Liberalism and the Grand Ma
tionaI Steeplechase
This excited much laughter as Liver
pool is strongly anti-Iibera1.

Prince at the Yacht Club
Among Prince Henry's many hosts
while he is a visitor in the United States
none will have better claim on his time
and none will be come with more free
dom than to the members Of the New
York yacht club. The prince is mu1si-
clan and lover of music he has been
a liberal patron of the drama, and he
has shown by his letters and his speeches
that he Is a close observer He will un-
doubtedly be deeply interested in our in
stitutions, but he is before anything else
a sailor, and for that reason he will feel
at home IN the yacht club.
Prince Henry will probably be made an
honorary member of the club, and his
name be added to the list, which now in
cIudes King Edward VII. the Marquis
Of Dufferin and Ava, the Grand Duke Al
