officers' action in calling off the
threatened railroad strike and
to plan their future course.
W. S. Stone, grand chief of the
engineers, and W. S Carter, pres
ident or the firemen and engine
men, announced that they would
have nothing to say tonight. Un
ion officials explained that the
general chairmen in attendance
were those who did not respond
to the railroad labor board's or

two weeks ago which culminated
in the calling off of the threaten

canceling the strike orders sever

consider problems of future ac
tion, and directed to repcrt to

had any connection with tlie an
nouncement made at Cleneland
last week that the union would
revive the strike vote if the la
bor board failed to make good on
the unofficial s promise that no

sidered nntil all pending rules
and working conditions on the
lines involved are settled. Mr.
Stone said he did not expect to
see any member of th? labor
board while in Chicago.
WHERE FORMER EMPEROR CHARLES AND WIFE WERE ARRESTED.
Upon teat section of the Adirondack Mountains located in the New
York State Park will rest a bronze figure of a statelly Indian In memory
of the many tribes which once made their home iln the forests. This
statue of Proctor's, the gift of George D. Pratt, has jjust been dedicated.
he was secretary of state for New
York. "As I stepped from the
crowd' in his reception room, he
said to me: 'What do you want?'
I answered 'Nothing, Mr. Presi
dent, I only came to pay my re
spects and bid you good-by. as I
am leaving Washington.' 'It is
such a luxury," he then remark
ed, 'to find man who does not
want anything. I wish you would
wait until I get rid of this crowd.'
Won by Strategy
"When we were alone he threw
himself wearily on a lounge and
was evidently greatly exhausted.
Then he jndulged, rocking back
ward and forward, in a reminis
cent review of different crises in
his administration and how he
had met them. In nearly every
instance he had carried his point,
and either captured or beaten his
adversaries by a story so apt, so
on all fours, nd with such com
plete answers that the ' contro
versy was over. I remember 11
of these stories, ech of which was
a victory."

Lincoln was always- on the
lookout for a good yam, although
he told Depew he never 'invented'
one. One night there was" a re
ception in the executive mansion.
Rufus C. Andrews, Surveyor of
the Port of New York and a con
fidential adviser, of the president
on New York affairs, attended the
reception with Mr. Depew. As
the procession of handshakers
moved past. Lincoln stopped An
drews andj, leaning over, spoke
very confidentially to him, delay
ing the ceremonies for some time.
Momentous issues were impend
ing. Lincoln was in the midst of
the campaign for renomination,
his cabinet was inharmonious,
the war was on --and decisive bat
tles were about to be fought.
Newspapermen, and politicians
buttonholed Andrews on his re
turn" to his hotel. Mr. Depew
writes: "Andrews made a great
mystery of his confidential con
versation with Lincoln and so did
the press.. He explained to me
when we were alOne that during
his visit to the president - the
night before he told Mr. Lincoln
b new story. The president de
layed him at the reception, say
ing: 'Andrews, I forget the point
of that story you told me last
night , repeat it now.' "
" 'i' am accused of telling a
great many stories.' " Mr. Depew

that plain people (repeating with
emphasis plain people), take them
as you find them, are more easily
influenced by a broad and humor
ous illustration than in any other
way and what the hypocritical
few may think, I don't care.
"In speaking, Mr. ; Lincoln had
a peculiar cadence in his voice,
caused by laying emphasis upon
the key-word pi the sentence. In
answer to the question how he
knew so many anecdotes, he ans
wered: "I never invented j a story, but

think, tell one tolerably-well. My

"For many yers I traveled the

occurrences and these were of in

Referring to Lincoln's adroit
