Mr. Harriman’s Boys’ Club.

The new President of the Chicago and Alton Railway system is a slender, thoughtful, retiring man of less than medium height and the softest imaginable speech. He is. E. H. Harriman, one of the most successful of New York’s millionaire railway financiers. He has one fad of which the pubMc at large knows little. He is the President of the Boys’ Chib, the oldest institution of the sort, and the largest, in the world. It is in the heart of the East Side, and is designed to make it pleasant for street waifs. It is expected that a splendid new building wiU be erected for ks use this year.
