New York, Oct 13.-When Andrew
Carnegie and his wife arrived home
from Europe on the Mauretania the
other day the flock Of ship news report.
ers at the pier thought he would be as
mnm as a clam on war. Mr.. Carnegie
| mas been such a strong peace advocate
it was believed he would be slightly
peeved by the doings abroad. but he
| wasn't. He had his same old smile with
I him. He is a personal friend of the
] Kaiser and declares that the Kaiser
4 had absolutely nothing to do with the
| war. He and I were standing on the
deck Of his yacht in the harbor OF Kiel
! only a few weeks ago. The Emperor was
on his vacation said the Iron Master
and while he was away the military
| clique forced the war. The Kaiser, when
he heard the news, hurried back. but the
thing had been done and there could
be no turning back"
But what about peace?' piped up q
| nervous reporter.
Young man." said Carnegie sternly,
you should never interrupt your elders. "
Then his face softened into a smile.
War will finally advance the cause OF
peace he said. which is at any rate
| optimistic.
Freerick w whitridge is president of
the Third Avenue railroad and is a very
keen observer and an equally keen
talker. When he came home from Eu-
rops the other day on the Mauretania
he was of course asked about the war
and his views thereon. Mr.. Whitridge
loves President Wilson and so always
observes neutrality. This is what he
| said: "A gentleman in shining armor
has stubbed his toe" One bright re-
will IN
troduce Col. Jawn J. McGraw in the
role Of a bon mot hurler. McGraw is
looking through a glass darkly these
days on account of the way his bah
club is doing the back-flip away from the
pennant After one particularly rough
inning for the Giants, McGraw cut
loose with some of the choicest invec-
tive in his system. He was talking to
one Of his pitchers and the pitcher, too.
was in no mood to be triled with and
talked right back. The argument grew
very heated and finally the pitcher said:
We'll do your derndest. You can't hurt
me anyway" McGraw replied instant
ly: Say, I don't want to hurt you. Why
1 wouldn't harm a splinter in your
head"
Oh, lud-here is William Angus Drogo
Montagu, Duke of Manchester. mixing
himself up in a bally business enterprise
and apparently coming a deuce OF a
cropper, the old dear! Here Is the yarn:
The duke started out to sell $4,000. 900
worth Of educational moving picture"
stock, along with his gold tipped cigar
cites, to his Newport millionaire friends.
We say he started out to do this but he
didn't get very far for the creditors
came and took his furniture away the
other day-yes sir, took his lovely ma
hogany fixtures and all from his hand
some quarters in East Forty-first street.
It also seems that His Beleaguered
Grace got his bank account awfully
mixed. fearfully you know, fearfully!
Some of the checks came back marked
for lack of funds, which some checks
have such a stupid habit OF doing. So
His Grace went away for a bit of fort
nights rest But he came back to his
quarters at the Ritz and with his law
yer, Capt. Peter Drouillard. began to
adjust the affairs. Papa-in-law thinner
man from his home in Cincinnati only
laughed at the dukes discontinue He
declared that he heard the duke was
going TO quit drinking for awhile and
go back to England and join his regiment
which is all very patriotic, What!
A group OF newspaper cartoonists in
GLIDING T. A. Dorgan CTad) went up to
Sing Sing prison the other afternoon at
the invitation Of the warden and to see
the prisoners disDort themselves on .
