"A Man Who Can Do Things."
Someyears ago, agronpnf New
York tiuauciers inteiosted in lie,
quiring pntianca for a ceitam
railway system into Pittsbuig
were in consultation ovti uimt
seemed some insurmountable leg
al obstacle in tho way of th"ir do
hires. All but Baer, who was
present, hud expressed their opm
ion th it the tiling was iinpo siblr.
Morgan linallv turnd to him ami
asked :
"What do you i.lmilt about it?"
"I believe it can :e di'ii -," was
the terse reply, ' in fact, I have
already prep.ind a brief on toe
subject, which is in my desk, U' d
if you will give me time to con
suit it and consider tho subj, ct 1
am certai l that t enn show you
how it can be accomplished."
Mr. Morgan looked at him a
moment, and thou, with a hearty
slap on his buck, exclaimed :
"You're my man; I v.jmt a man
who can do things."
The meeting w-is adjourned,
and when reconvened Baer made
good his promise, after which the
thing was accomplished.
Among those present at the
first meeting was President Har
ris, of tho Philadelphia & Read
ing Railway. Soon after these
occurrences, he was succeeded
by Mr. Bier.
Far-sight and preparedness are
two of his cheif characteristics.
Seeing, many years ahead, the
obvious necessities of the inter
ests with which he was identifi
ed. Mr. Baer has frequently, as
in the above instance, come pre
pared beforehand to clear the dif
ficulties from the situations which
his colleagues had notauticipated.
Thus, without the arts of the court
ier, iudillerent to personal sym
pathies or antipathies, without
recourse to llaltery or cajolery,
Mr. Baer relies on a blunt state
ment of facts, and as the interests
he serves usually are bettered by
following the lead of his. judge
ment, In has made himself a pre
eminently necessary part of their
organization. From "George F.
Baer: Master Snirit of the An
thracite industry,' by Frederic
