OEPEW, 40 YEARS
DINER, STILL YOUNG
Says New tork's New Mayor
Needs Training to Attend
Eating Affairs.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-To the NCGth
and inexperience of John Frrroy Nit
chel. Chauncey NJ. Depew, attributes
the confessed inability Of the mayor
elect to weather unimpaired course of
public banquets.
In April Depew will be eighty years
old, and for forty years he has dined
out or had guests to dinner six nights
in every week. rs
Mr.. Mitchell probably is not accus-
toned to the role yet, said the wealth
cred toastmaster as he sat at his desk
in the Grand Central Terminal building.
ITO be able to stand dinners and not
feel them the. next morning requires, of
course. training. If / am known as an
after-dper speaker 1 hope / am also
known as a man who works harder
than most others. My dinners never
have been my recreation.
Most men get their relaxation in
cards That makes them keep late
hours, fand they sit in a room with bad
air and drink too many cocktails. They
die young But the public never learns
of their card playing. So II says they
have been killed by overworz. and they
are lauded as martyrs to thnII activity.

that he cannot restrain his appetite.
The things are placed before him, and
they are so good he eats them. Of

FAIR TREATMENT.

American people desire that the
railroads of the country should be
made to bear their just proportion o!
the public burdens, but IT, so doing it
is not held by them necessary that
they should be made to perform a
public service at a continual loss to
themselves; hence, we take it that
congress will inquire into the subject
of compensation for carrying the mails
very thoroughly on its W account
and make appropriation for adequate
pay therefor, and especially will take
into consideration and increased vol.
ume OF mail traffic which will result
from the Inauguration of the parcels
post, which the railroads will have
to make provision for caring for III
der existing contracts, the weighing
for which ccurs anly quadrennially.
