NEGRO KNEW NOTED MEN |
Veteran Porter, Who Died Recently,
Served on Private Car of Sew
eraI Presidents,

The death of David Hazelton. the
veteran porter in the Office of the
presid ent of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad In Baltimore. removes a ia.
mlliar figure from the ranks of the
Old school Of Maryland servants. Per-
maps no other negro In this country
was acquainted with SO many promi-
nent men of affairs, says the Railroad
Mans Magazine.
David, who was over seventy. was q
hatlve Baltlmorean. While boy he
witnessed the Baltimore riot on Apri.
19, 1861, and was ever fond of telling
OF the encounter with the Massachu-
setts soldiers.
He entered the service of the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad in 1874 as a
waiter at the Relay house, q few miles
from Baltimore. Dining cars were not
then known on American railroads.
He continued in this position for
more than year. Later he became
head waiter at the Deer Park hotel
when the Baltimore & Ohio opened
1t IN western Maryland. 1t was Presi.
dent John w. Garrett who about 1875
chose him as private car porter. For
more than thirty years he remained
IN charge Of the official cars OF the
Baltimore & Ohio's presidents.
During that time David crossed the
continent hundreds of times In charge
Of special parties and with officials OF
the railroad. He has ridden over prac-
tically every mile of railroad track in
North America from the Isthmus OF
Panama to the northernmost lines Of
Canada. He was six feet tall and
made striking appearance in his uni
form OF royal blue trimmed In gold
and cap slightly tilted.
On a trip with party in which
Commodore Vanderbilt was a guest
Davids dinner was pronounced by the
commodore the best meal he had ever
eaten. David had charge of presiden.
tial parties from General Grant down
to Mckinley and Roosevelt. General
Grant was numbered as one of his ia.
vorite guests. President Cleveland
also frequently travelled with David
When he started on his honeymoon he
made special request that David be
placed in charge of his car.
David retired few years ago and
became messenger in the office OF
the Baltimore & Ohios president. Wis.
itors will recall David occupying a
place just outside the suite Of the chief
executive of the road, his hat slightly
tilted and humming tune popular In
Dixie.

Entertaining the Duke.

Savage club one night in a very hap

the late duke Of Teck was present,

for all the dukes good nature, plainly
