The position lias been pun llcally
tendeied to Jlr. llullstoad, and ill

change of residence to New York, he
was shown that the company needs

Tim ONi: MAN l'OWDIt.
AVhen President Sloan letlits to nil-
vate life, says an exchange, the last j oiks now stand The buildings are to
lemalnlng repiesontatlvo of the "one- be of large tapacltv and the machineiy
man" power In railway management1 I4 to be the most modern. 1. L Wlll
w 111 have vlelded his sum eine author-I lams is the architect und Conrad
Ity. Mr. Sloan was his railroad com
pany. Whatever ho thought best was
clone: "I am the board." he once
said whin asked what his boaid of di
rectors would think of a ceitaln plan
flint, iimlnn nniielilnrnllnn nr,r1 lintl Yn
said this he spoke the' exact tiuth. 1
No one of the directors over seilouslyl
opposed Mr. Sloan's pin poses, and al-
most Invariably there was instant I
agreement with him, or else a tacit
acknowledgment of his complete au
thority. A generation or 111010 ago the "one
man" power was the distinctive char
acteristic of Ameilcan railway dliec
tlon. Commodore Vnnderbllt thought
for and acted for the New York Cen
tral and Its extensions toward Chicago.
So. too. did William II. Vanderbllt In
tho comparatively short time that he
was at the head of tho New York Cen
ttal corporation. John Newell was
alo practically the czar and autocrat
of the Lake Shore; and so was Colonel
Scott at least that is tho undei stand
ing heie of the Pennsylvania; al

hut oxr. sri'iHtioit.
Mr. Sloan In his iailro.nl caieer never
recognized but one supeilor authority,
or even one equal. The late Mosch Tay
lor, one of the greatest geniuses of
finance In New Yoik, the father of tho
C'earlng House association as it now
exists, and Mr. Sloan, were tho otlg
Inal powers In tho Lickawanna. They
built it up by leases, by purchase and
by extension, having In view chlelly
the coal-carrying trade of the Pennsyl
vania mines to the Atlantic eoat and
New- Rngland.
As long as Moses Taylor lived his
nuthoilty was recognized nnd his word
seldom questioned by Mr. Sloan; but,

LIKC VAN BURRN
Rut Mr. Sloan was like Mai tin Van
Ruren In his uvorslon to putting any
thing upon paper whieli might be com
municated vei bally. He would wait
until he could see am one with whom
he wished to communicate, so that ho
might say what was In his mand lather
than write it. After all, ho had very.
Ilttlo to say. Ho gave his oidoin to bis
subordinates us briefly and as bluntly
as a commanding gcncial does to his 1
staff. i
He very seldom attended ttunk line
meetings. For many yeais the meet
ings of his own board were mere for
malities, and often wero nothing more
than technical obscivance of tho iule
icqulrlng a board meeting. He had his
stalf directly within tall, and he could
summon its members on the Instant,
glvo the word ot command and tho
thing was then off his mind. John
Newell, while president of tho Lako
Shore, seldom wrote letters
With the exception of Mr Sloan's
oorpointlon, an evceptlon which, piob
ably, will no longer be maintained
after Mr Sloan rctlies. the mot hods of
railway management, at least hete
abouts, havo been vantly changed since
the days of Commodore Vnndeibllt.
Colonel Scott und Chestor W. Chapln
Now a board of directors means
something, and there Is a division of
responsibility reptesented by oxecutlvo
and other committees, In fact, so many
of them that it bus sometimes been

management was going to the other

BACHELORS1 BALL PLANS.
Work of Decorating tho Lyceum
Will Begin Tomoriow.
i ai ranging for the linchelor'n ball.
which will bo given on Trlday night at
the Lyceum theatre, the committee will
not be handltupped in having only one
clay In which to piepare tho theatre.
The decorating will be staited by lloilst
and diaper tomorrow, as will the woik
of laj Ing tho dance lloor.
The most successful balls of past
years. In point ot attendance, have
been those which followed a pctlod of
unusual social activity. If the rule
proves tiuo this jear, the Lyceum will
be paiked. During tho lemalnder of
thli week since Monday, In fact theio
will not bo an afternoon or night un
booked for some event of moie or less
formality. So the kind of enthusiasm
necessary to swell the ciowd at the ball
will quite certainly be aroused.
It will cost about $200 to rebuild the
dance tloor to the satisfaction of thoso
membcis of the committee who will
have that woik In charge No expense
iu ,, HpnrC(l n making it ceitaln that
the pleasuio of the ball phall not bo
mailed by a faulty dancing suiface.
The same comment applies to tho
music, suppei, decoiations and all other
details which go toward the siucets or
failute of such large affalis.
