Lost Opportunity For Which a
Vanderbilt Grieved.
William II. Was Sorry He Did Not
Let New York Central Show II
Could Beat Pennsylvania
Fast Mail.

1T has always been my impression
that William II. Vanderbilt grieved
more over an opportunity which came
TO him and which he lost, and felt
more greatly Inundated thereby by
the sense that he had made a mis-
take. than over any other event in
his experience as the successor OF his
father, the Commodore, at the head of
the Vanderbilt railways" So said to
me the late George C. Bangs, who in
the seventies became to all intents
and purposes the creator of the coun-
try's fast railway mail service, and
who had as his assistant in the work
great Bell telephone system OF the
county.
las the superintendent Of the rail-
way mail service. and especially the
fast mail feature of 1t, which had
been established practically under
my direction" continued Mr.. Bangs.
Il was brought in very close touch
with the managers of the important
railway lines running from the At
lantic coast to Chicago. / knew bet
ter than the public did how intense
was the competition between the New
York Central and the Pennsylvania.
The fast railway mail service was es-
tablished at about the time rate cut
ting was at its height, the very time
when. as 1t was afterwards proved,
the Standard Oil, company was get
ting very large rebates from the rail-
road companies.
Now, one Of the things which
might serve to advertise these rail-
roads, and to aid them in their COM
petitive struggle, was the ability they
showed to maintain what in those
days were very fast railway mail
services between New York or Phila-
delphia and Chicago.
an the spring Of 1878 I happened
to learn that the famous theatrical
managers. Jarrett and Palmer, had
made contracts with the Pennsyl-
vania. the Union Pacific and the Gen.
trail Pacific by which those railroad
companies pledged themselves to haul
a special theatrical train from New
York to San Francisco in three and
one-half days time. 1t also came to
my knowledge that the attempt was
to be made to deliver by the same
train mail which left the New York
postoffice in the early morning in
Chicago on the evening of the same
day.
Immediately I made an appoint
ment by telegraph with William III.

One of the great bankers and finan-
ciers of Boston, indeed of the entire
country, a generation ago, was John

TO COOK CHICKENS
NEW RECIPES THAT SOUND LIKE
GOOD EATING.
Boiled Chicken Mold, Broiled Cold
Chicken, ScaIIoped Chicken and
Chicken Croquettes Offer
Great Variety.

| Boiled Chicken Mold.-This is an
excellent dish and one which would
be found most useful for a busy day.
Select a fricasse fowl and have tle
butcher save the neck long and cut the
nails from the feet Skin these by
soaking them few minutes in hot wa
| ter, dismember the rest OF the fowl
and boil all together until the flesh is
tender enough to pick to pieces with
the fingers. During the boiling, sea-
son the chicken with one large Ber-
muda onion, several stalks OF celery,
parsley, cayenne and salt. When done
and cool enough to handle, pick all the
flesh from the bones. feet, neck, etc.,
and discard the skin. Chop hne-tO
almost a paste-and pack in mold,
pouring in some of the bOil-water be-
tween each layer of chicken. Cover
tightly and set on the ice. Turn on
cold dish and serve with trimming
of canned pimentos. Only water
enough to cover the chicken must be
used for the boiling or the mold will
not harden. The boil-water must be
rich enough to form jelly.
Broiled Cold Chicken.-Here is
good way to vary the monotony of cold
fowl, whether boiled or roasted: Take
the half or quarter which has not been
cut into and rub it over with a marin
ade of two tablespoonfuls of vinegar
and one of lemon juice. Put the fowl
between two plates and set aside for
three hours. Then rub the oil and
lemon juice well into it. dip in egg
and then in fine toasted crumbs; set
OIL the ice for an hour. and broil over
a medium hot fire, turning often. Make
a gravy of melted butter with chopped
parsley and few drops of lemon juice
and pour over the dish.
Scalloped Chicken.-Mix two cup
fuls of nicely seasoned chicken,
minced finely, with a cupful of boiling
oyster liquor or as much tomato juice.
Stir in six chopped mushrooms, the
pounded yolk of two hard-boiled eggs
and two tablespoonfuls of cream. Add
finely toasted bread crumbs and more
cream if needed to make a soft paste.
Pack in large clam shells or in bak-
ing dish, put nuts of butter on top
and cook covered for fifteen minutes;
then uncover and brown lightly. Cold
lamb, duck or boiled veal may be pre-
pared in the same way, with the SUBJ
stitution of good stock for the oyster
or tomato juice.
Chicken Croquettes-Stir a cupful Of
minced cold chicken and the same
quantity of sweetbreads together;
these last boiled and blanched and al
SO minced finely. Add drawn butter
O.. a little chicken stock thickened
lightly with -four. Heat in a vessel
set in another containing boiling wa
ter, and when heated through take
from the fire and add a cupful of
cream with a pinch of soda stirred
I'M and the beaten yolk of two eggs.
Mix well, set in a cold place until
solid; then mold in round or oblong
croquettes. Dip these in beaten egg.
then in crumbs and Try a rich brown
in boiling cottonseed oil or lard.

not long thereafter. Mr. Duff received
from the banking house of Morton,
Bliss & Co., in New York, a telegram
which read practically as follows:

accept the vice-presidency, with full
power to act?"

of the Union Pacific. But before an

to learn authoritatively whether or

of the roads stock. This within the

the fact, and then. as DIR. Billiard re-
calls 1t. his father-in-law sent this an
swer:
Il decline to accept either PROPOSE

Mr.. Duff's next act was to resign as
director of the Union Pacific, as he
said he would do if Jay Gould Sc
cured control of the Union Pacific;
and from that day he had nothing
more to do with the property whose
credit and solvency he had once saved.

But when Mr. Vanderbilt learned
that the Pennsylvania did do 1t, and
after he had talked with some of his

had no question but that the New

deeply chagrined and Inundated. And

dent, or to other friends of Mr..
Brooks. who knew of his important
work during the campaign, President
Cleveland was persuaded that there
should be official recognition Of what
MIR. Brooks had done. especially as
he seemed fitted to become a valuable
public servant. So, in due course,
Mr.. Brooks was offered the appoint
ment Of consul to Triest
Il appreciate the honor" said Mr.
Brooks. 'but l cannot accept the ap-

ly personal"
But" he was told. "the United
States is to have largely increased
commerce with Triest, the only Aus
trian seaport. and there will be fine
opportunities for good work there,
such as will surely lead to promotion
in our diplomatic service.
Still Mr. Brooks declined, and when
President Cleveland was told that the
offer would not be accepted. he in
ferred that 1t might be that Mr..
Brooks felt that the salary was in
sufficient.
Il will appoint him consul-general
at st. Petersburg" the president said.
So once more, the offer Of a place in
the diplomatic service. so, important
as consul-general at the Russian CAPT.
tai, was made to Mr.. Brooks, yet he
felt compelled to decline for reasons
which seemed to him imperative.
In the president campaign of
1892. when Cleveland was again
candidate. he appeared at public
meeting in New York City After the
great throng which had assembled to
hear the former president had de-
parted. and while Mr. Cleveland was
waiting on the platform for his car
riage, Mr.. Brooks, who was present,
approached him.
"Mr. President" he said. IT am very
glad to see you again"
Il recall your face very well, but
cannot recall your name" Mr.. Cleve-
land said, looking quizzingly, earnest
ly, at the man Who had greeted him.
My name is Frank H. Brooks, and
you may remember me as one who
was associated in an humble way
with the presidential campaign of
1884"
For an instant Mr.. Cleveland con-
tinued to look with intense inquiry
and question at Mr.. Brooks, and then
OF a sudden recollection coming to
him, he seized both of Mr.. Brooks
hands with his own.
"Of course. / recollect you now"

never forgotten the unprecedented
and unequalled and astounding ex.

came president. Mr.. Brooks, I have
