0LD-TIME TELEGRAPHERS ENTERTAIN ANDREW CARNEGIE

New York. Nov, 27--The telegraph flash sign "73" meaning "Regards' licked scores of times tonight over the special wires to the banquet room at the Manhattan. where the Old Time Photographers of New York entertained Andrew Carnegie on the occasion of his 7srd birthday.
 At the table sat Thomas A Edison the inventor and former operator. and five of the nine first operators reEu- larly employed by the United States government in the civil war, sent from the Pennsylvania Railroad line in re- sponse to 6 message dated Washing. ton. April %, 1881" and signed by Mir. Carnegie.
 Col. Robert c. Clowry, president of the Western Union Telegraph Com pany, presided as toastmaster and the speakers included Colonel David If. Bates one of the early military tele- graphers who said that when the gov arnment refused to pension the mili- tary telegrapheFs. Mir. Carnegie. at once provided life incomes of S12 per month for such members of the old corps as were recommended by their organization. The souvenirs of the evening were miniature but practical telegraph saunders of ebony and bronze. one of which recorded the many messages which came from vari- ous parts of the country throughout the evening.
 T believe said Mir. Carnegie that when we get to Heaven and are chai, lenEed and asked why we want to come In. we will pick up one of these little instruments. and say "73." Ana he made the signal as he spoke the numerals, Mir. Carnegie said that he spoke in no Pickwickian sense when he stated that he regarded the exprAs- sions of old fellowship and good will tonight as the greatest public honor he had ever received. He felt, he said, a note of sincerity in the tones of the speakers and thier expressions of re- gard for him.
 There is no higher compliment which can be paid you than to have the friends of your boyhood days the friends of your older days. I would rather have your certificate of friend ship than one signed by all the priests and bishops in the land" 1sT PAGE
