GRATIFYING BEPOBT MADE B|f THE PENNSYLVANIA LINE8.

Roatis Both East anil ffeit Made Money— s^. One Now Engine Received By the fit£ I.—Ball road Note*.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Co.'s statement of earnings and expenses of the lines

both east and west of Pittsburg is a very f#fs gratifying one, and it shows that under the judicious management jof President Thomson bi^ll^the road is being conducted so that the best results may toe obtained. The statement of SA the lines east shows an increase in net earn1 ings of $345,300, an increase in gross earnings of $683,300 and an increase in expenses

Of $338,000. The Western lines also did an improved business, there being an increase In gross of $509,200, an increase in expenses of $119,500, and an increase in net earnings of $389,700. For both lines the net increase Is $735,000. This is an excellent exhibit and it shows that there are few, if any, railroads in this country that have better recuperative powers than the Pennsylvania railroad.

With all these increases the property of the company is constantly being improved and the roadbed is kept up to the high standard lor which the company is noted.

The widow of George W. Sears, who was killed in the wreck on the E. & T. H. at Deckers, 'will receive $3,500 from the railroad company. The Circuit Court yesterday gave Attorney F. W. Beal permission to settle the case for this amount.

The day before the recent accident on tbe New York Central the passenger department issued a report to the effect that not a. person among the many hundreds of thousands carried had been killed or seriously injured In the last year while being conveyed on their trains.

A suit against the Vandalia for damages growing out of the death of Robert Fowler, a conductor who was killed in the wreck at Walnut Fork bridge a year ago, will be tried at Crawfordsville.

There are now seventeen tracks across Chestnut street, the seventeenth beinjg now under construction. Truly Tenth street was well named when it became known as "Railroad street."

NATIONAL W. C. T. U.

Mrs. Carse Makes a Strong Plea for Maintenance of the Temple.

Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 1.—MisS Frances E. Willard, president of the National W. C. T. U., called the convention to order today. Devotional exercises were followed by the reading of a report on the W. C. T. U. school of method and parliamentary usage by Mrs. Anna S. Benjamin of Michigan. Mrs. M. E. Carman of Illinois read a report of the medal contests. The report on press work was read by Mrs. Minnie Barker Horning of Illinois. Miss Willard read the W. C. T. U. motto, "So Tell the World's Story Today as to Make the World Better Tomorrow."

Mrs. E. B. Ingalls of Missouri read a paper on narcotics, urging congress to pass a law which would enable states to enact anticigarette laws.

Mrs. M. B. Carse, in her report on the temple, attributes the crisis in its affairs to the financial condition of the country. She declared that had all unions responded as did a few the stock would have been in possession of the union .without incumbrance. She adds that of over $200,000 subscribed $141,000 is still in her hands. She is entering into negotiations which promise to be most successful and will insure et least $200,000 with what she already has.

Mrs. Carse continues: "We are tola the enterprise should be abandoned tint it is dishonest to longer continue to suoport it. I think it most dishonest and unbusinesslike for us to stop at this junc'ure. ^hen we have put in so much money and now that business prospects are returning 16 the country to let go our hold of thit wh-:h is -within our grasp. I bag of you to stand by the pledge the national officers sent out in November, 1895. which contained the following words: 'While God reigns in heaven, and white ribbon hearts beat steadfastly on earth, we will never desert this enterprise or take a backward step.'

The memorial service for the dead took the place of evangelical hours. Mrs. Katharine L- Stevenson. natioaal corresponding secretary, was the last of a number of speakers who paid tribute to the dead, her remarks being a beautiful eulogium of General Neal Dow.

Mies Willard added a few words in mean orium, and told of receiving from General Baw as ft JasVgift a vaedai presented to him

in New York in 18§2, in acknowledgment of temperance work in thai oity. From 2 o'clock this afternoon tin til 7:30 o'clock the delegates held continuous session behind -closed doors and discussed •v'ith much warmth the report of Mrs. Matilda B. Carse on the Chicago Temple.

Mies Sara 6. Johnson* financial secretary of the Temple, presented her report, of wbch the following is an abstract: Balance on hand November 1st, $28,129.85 amounts received in gifts November .1, !9«, to Oc'ober 18, '97, $14,810.69 interest,: $23.89: notes, $500 total, $38464,43 v&rlott* expendituresr| $9,703.38. %.

During the session Mrs. Carse reported for the Women's Temperance Publishing Association, and Mrs. Margaret Inglehart

SNOW BLINDNESS.

The Fearful Suffering It Entails Sometimes Leads to Madness. Government officials who have been in Alaska tell of terrible sufferings from snow blindness. The continued glare of the fieldsof ice and snow on the naked eye has an almost indescribable effect, say those who have experienced it. The vast expanse of gleaming white, the silence and the awful sense of isolation produce a feeling akin to madness.

First the eye becomes painod, waving lines pass up and down and in front of the eyeballs. Mirages appear to the vision. The eyeballs burn, the mind wanders, the brain seems on lire, and finally blackness sets in. Perfect rest and freedom from anything which may be calculated to strain the vision are essential for a cure. .T. T. Dyer spent two years in Alaska and experienced the snow blindness. Speaking of it and the plague of mosquitoes whioh infect the northern regions and are perhaps more voracious there than elsewhere, he said: "The snow blindness is an awful thing. I was affected slightly once with it in the left eye. I saw a terrible example of it in a member of our party who was suddenly afflicted with tho trouble. He became violently insane from not properly shading his eyes. I never witnessed a more marked case of xpania. Wo had great trouble, in getting the young man baok to camp. He got hold of a hatchet in some manner and came near splitting my head open with it. He' had no realization of what he was doing. It was seme time before he recovered from the attaok. "It is absolutely necessary to protect the eyes in some way. I wore a black slouch hat pulled down over them. In addition we donned goggles manufactured by the Indians, which fulfill the purpose for which they are intended. These are made ®f bits, of wood, oval shaped, like the glasses of spectacles. They have small slits in them, so that one can see, but the eye ,is shaded and not affeoted."—St. Louis

WATER FOR ONE.

An Authority Tells How Much Is Needed by Persons In Various Occupations. According to Professor Allen, we should drink from one-third to two-fifths as many ounces as we weigh pounds. Therefore for a man weighing 168 pounds there would be required 56 to 64 ounces daily, or from to 4 pints. This is a very indefinite answer. The amount of water required depends on the season of the year, the amount of work done and the kind of food eaten. In hot weather we require more than in cold, because of the greater loss through the 6kin, though this is in part made up by the lesser amount passed away through the kidneys. If a man labors very hard, he requires more than if his labor is light. A man working in a foundry, where the temperature is high and the perspiration profuse, not infrequently drinks three or four gallons daily. If the food is stimulating and salty, more water is required than if it is bland.

Vegetarians and those who use much fruit requ ire-Jess tvjb^Bjr thail those who eat salt fish and pork, anf often get along on none except what is in their food.' In roost cases our instincts tell us how much water to drink far better than any hard or fixed rule. For ages they have been acquiring a knowledge of how much to drink and transmitting that knowledge to descendants, and if we follow them vfe shall not go far out of the way.

It is of more use to us to know that pure water is essential and that impure water is one of the most dangerous drinks than to know how ftiuch of it is required daily. If one lives in a region where the water is bad, it should be boiled and put away in bottles well corked in an ice chest, and in addition one should eat all the fruit one can if fruit agrees. Fruits contain not only pure water, but Baits whioh are needed to carry on healthfully the functions of life.^—Journal of Hygiene.

Havana, Nov. L—On the arrival of eral Blanco, the new captain general, vessels in tbe harbors and the streets generally decorated. The wharves were crowded with people ttnd the troop? and vol^ unteera lined thoroughfares from tbe landing stage to the palace.

pal*

When Marshal Blanco arrived-at the ace he was met by the civil and military, authorities and by committees representing the various political parties and then proceeded to the hall of conference, where, in accordance with the ritual and ceremonies customary on such occasions, he took oath of fidelity to Spain.

the

him

Among the officers who accompanied on the Alfonso XIII are General Gonzales. General Parrado, General Pando, General iyn. General Agulerre, General Ceballis, General Salieno and General Balderma.

Marshal Blanco has issued the following^ proclamation to the inhabitants of Cuba: "I am again among you with good will and a sincere desire to serve tbe general welfare and to establish a lasting peace. I shall follow a broad policy in my endeavor to restore fraternity among all of Cuba's inhabitants. I am sincere in my intention to inaugurate a new government policy, the object of which will be to secure" and preserve peace. I hope you will all salute and embrace the Spanish flag, throwing aside all party prejudices and discarding 'alliance with those who are staining the country with blood. "Clemency awaits all who observe the laws, but however regrettable it may be, I shall rigorously fight those who obstinately or ungratefully continue to carry on war."

The following proclamation has been issued by Marshal Blanco to the armed forces of the island: "I desire to express my admiration for you who, in two years of hard campaign, have always bravely fought the infamoito revolution. This I soon expect to suppress, through your heroic efforts, and with the concurrence of the whole country, which will unhesitatingly side with us, to fight the victims of hallucination who aspire only to what must bring their complete destruction.. Let there be war therefore, on the stubborn enemies of the Spanish people and protection for those who seek the clemency of Spain."

There is no reference to autonomy in the proclamations, and both have produced a bad effect among all sympathizers with the insurrection. Marshal Blanco, when formally assuming his new functions at the pajw ace, said to the deputations of the Conservative, Autonomist and Reform parties, thaft, in order to obtain peace through the new, policy, it would be necessary for all political* parties to unite. To the military deputations he said that he would answer war by war, repeating the substance of his proclamation in that respect. He made no over-, tures of autonomy, nor did he express any reference for any of the Cuban political parties.

Senor Galvez, the aged and highly es--teemed president of the Autonomical party, when addrssing Marshal Blanco on behalf of the Autonomicai deputation, said it was "necessary to affirm Spanish dominion and the rule of the Spanish monarchy in Cuba through autonomyy." He said: "Not on behalf of the Autonomist party, but on behalf of the island, we ask for autonomy, and we offer the services of the Autonomist party .to help in bringing the revolt to an end -eif is highly- necessary to change the existing statfe-of misery and horror for one of peace and prosperity."

An elaborate reception, with a concert of vocal and instrumental music, was given last night in honor of Marshal Blanco. He dined not at the palace, but at the residence of Senor Vluda De Lombilli.

The marquis of P&lmerola, late civil governor of Havana, departed by' the Ward line steamer Seneca. --v-v

STRAW BOARD TRUST.

All plants are very busy. The industry is a very extensive one. Boxmakers will be qmong the first to feel the effects of the new organization, and. it will later be felt in all branches of retail trade. Mr. Williams does not anticipate any sudden bolstering of prices. •,n The plants Included in this sweeping amalgamation are located at Peoria, Marseilles, I»ockport and Quincy, 111., Marion, Albany, Muncie, Terre Haute, Yorktown, Eaton, Carthage, Kokomo, Gas City, Noblesville and Anderson, Ind. Circleville, Piqua, Tippfecanoe, Dayton, Lima, Tiffin, Kenton, Urban a and Newportage, 0. *Niles and Allegran, Mich. Chesterton, Md. Halltown, W. Va., and Winchester, Va. The only plants out area matchboard plant at Wabash and 8 strawboard plant at Marioh, 'Which te tied tfp in a receiver's hands. The officers are: President, J. S.

NewBom, of Quincy, I1L Crawford Fairbanks, of Terre Haute General Orr, of Piqua, O., and J. F. Rust, of Chicago. It will be seen by the above list ojC plants that .the industry is almost entirely confined to the central states, with Indiana leading and Ohio coming second. This is because of the price of straw in the East. The plants in the trust hav a daily capaelty of about 900 tons.

WILL SIGN TREATY

Russia, Japan and This Country Will Agree to Suspend Pelagic Sealing. Washington, Nov. 1.—It is expected that a treaty or convention between the United States, Russia and Japan will be formally signed and executed at the state department during the present week, carrying out the proposition before the Bering sea conference fore suspension of pelagic sealing. The essential feature of the treaty or convention is for the suspension of pelagic sealing for such a period as will permit the seal herds to revive. The period of this suspension is not dlsc*«sed. The conference resumed its sessions at the state department, but no official statement was made as to what had been done, or the plans in view.

The attitude which Great Britain will assume toward the proposition and the treaty which is to take its place is awaited with much interest. Thus far the British authorities have not been informed as to what the conference proposes doing. At the same time the British expert, Prof. Darcy Thompson, has had several long talks with Mr. Foster and Mr. Hamlin, and these- have been of. such a satisfactory nature that it was 'believed an amicable understanding would be reached by all parties concerned, if Canada showed a disposition' to assent to the agreement. But Canada still stands in the way and the continued absence of the Canadian tfexpert, Mr. Macoun, is regarded in the light ief a diplomatic discourtesy, not only to the XJnited States, but also to the British government. The Ottawa government has sent no explanation of his action, and apparently is oblivious to a]l inquiries. *1

FEDERATION IDEAS.

STKADI1.Y GAINING GROUND AMONG CITY CLUB MKMBKBW.

The Project New Almost Assured—Meeting of Representative! at the Normal Last Night.

The project for the federation of the clubs of the city, which has been so much discussed of late, was the suhject of discussion at a joint meeting last night at the Normal School building.

Professor J. B. Wisely, the original projector of this idea, has corresponded with a majority of the clubs .of the city, which would be eligible to membership in the league or federation. Of the nine principal ones whose leaders are, as a rule, In favor of the movement, there are over 300 members. There are probably twenty-five clubs in the city.

Tlfe meeting last night was attended by delegates from several clubs and was held for the purpose of discussing the possibility of forming a federation. While those present had no power from their clubs to act for them, yet they expressed themselves freely and agreed unanimously to formulate a report and present it to their respective organizations. In support of this agreement a sub-committee composed of Profsssor J. B. Wisely of the Terre Haute Literary Club, Mrs. E. W, Kemp of the Woman's Club and Mrs. Allyn Adams of the Treble Clef and Wednesday Clubs were appointed to report a definite plan for such federation to the committee at its next meeting, which will be held at the Normal Monday evening, November 8th, at 7:30'o'clock.

It will be some time yet before the matter will be definitely decided, for after the meeting next Monday the delegates, of whom there will then be a much larger number, will report a second time to their clubs and will then be empowered to act at the next following meeting. Several of the clubs will not hold meetings for some time. The Science Club will meet next on the 20th, and Mr. O. L. Kelso, its delegate, will not be able to report until that time.

Others present last night were: Mrs. Dan Davis of the Tuesday Club, Mrs. Kidder and Miss Minnie Hill of the Young Woman's Club and Mr/ O. L. Kelso of the Science Club,

Some are objecting to this movement on the ground that it means the erection of a club house and an extra expense. Though this will naturally follow a federation, it need not be considered for the time being. The main object is to get the various clubs In touch and fellowship with each other.

Nebraska Republicans Weil Organized. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 1.—Political managers for both parties in this city on the eve of election express supreme confidence as to the result of tomorrow's battle, but in the absence of a poll of the .state it is a question on what they base their claims of victory. With an admitted admirable organization and perfec harmony in the ranks Republicans must nevertheless face the compact fusion of all elements favorable to free silver which a year ago carried the state by 11,000 plurality. The National Democrats and Prohibitionists are not serious factors in the race and tonight it is given out that an understanding exists whereby the National Democrats will vote almost solidly for the Republican nominees. The blanket ballot is to be tested for the first time tomorrow and the effect, it is believed, will be to greatly delay the returns.

Olagnstlnir Slate of Affair* in Colorado. Denver, Colo., Nov. 1.—At the election tomorrow the ballot to be voted in this city contains twenty-two different tickets, bearing the names of riomlnees for county office. Parties with no standing, without formality of convention, forced their emblems upon the ballot for but one purpose—to confuse voters. Many voters are disgusted with the state of affairs and declare they will remain away from the polls. The contest between Charles T. Hayt (Rep.) and William H. Gabbert (Dem. and Pop:) for judge of the Supreme Court appears to be very close. Even money is being waged on the result tonight.

TRIBUTES TO MR. G-EORGE.

Paid by Dr. McGlynn, Joseph H. 5hoate and Others.

New York, Oct. 30.—The Rev. Edward McGlynn paid tiie highest tribute to t*e late Henry George He said: 'T do not think that it is merely th6 enthusiastic language of a. devoted friend to say that as the providence of God raised up a Washington to be the father of his country, and endowed him with fuch gifts and gave him such experiences that we might well believe that without them the republic would sot have been achieved as in a similar

crisis, those gifts and character of a Lin~ coin were so plainly providential that none but men with little faith in God could doubt that he had been prepared for and sent upon a mission by the Father in Heaven so Henry George, by his extraordinary gifts and career, showed that he was marked out by the providence of God to be foremost lead- 1 ej and teacher in tbe work o' emancipation

of the masses of men everywhere from an industrial slavery, ta ofte& worae and more galling than mere chattel slavery, and to hasten the coming and perpetuate the duration, not merely of larger and more perfect American union of states, but of tha com-' monwealth of the Unlted^Statns and *the world. "Well shall it be for us ^Americans if wa shall not be recreant to our opportunities,! and if the masses of the American peoplel shall accept the teachings of Henry George. The only alternative to such an acceptance is a constant deterioration, ever-increasing political corruption, enormous increase of sordid monopolies, the building up here of an unprecedented and brutal aristocracy of wealth and the constantly increasing impoverishment of the masses of hte American people. "If the wondrously beautiful philosophy o* Henry George shall not be accepted in practice ,later generations of Americans, if notv our own generation, will surely be doomed to see the oppressed masses, brutalized by their poverty and enthrallment, rise up to vengeance and -perhaps use unwise and abhorrent measures for the righting of their wrongs th aton a larger scale much greaternumbers of men might more than repei.t the horrors of the French revolution. "I myself am no •politician. I am a clergy-' man, and ,1 hope, not lacking in patriotism an dhumanity, and what I have said, my attitude toward Mr. George, so far from. being inconsistent -with my religion, ara largely dictated by my religion itself, namely, the religion of Him, who felt 'compassion for the multitude and who learned us to, pray for the coming upon earth of a kingdom of peace and perfect justice and brotherhood,' which he did not disdain ot call tho kingdom of heaven upon earth."

MR. CHOATE'S TRIBUTE.

Joseph H. Choate, speaking at a Seth Low meeting in the Amerioan theater, said: "A leader of men has fiallen among us. & great leader of a mighty hotft of men has fallen by death. No more heroic or tragic scene was ever presented in this country., No more useful or more unselfish life was ever lived All his days he was championing the welfare of his fellowmen and warring against oppression. His last days, his last hours, yes, even his last minutes, were spent warring against the mo#t brutal oppression that ever tried to invade the liberties and sacrifice tha welfare of the people of the city he and we loved alike. Henry George was a hero who fell as a martyr in a great cause."

A Henry George memorial meeting waftheld in the German dub rooms, at Stapleton. Erastus Wyman, presided. The speakers'' table was draped tyith an American flag, bordered with black. About Henry George's picture was a wreath of black. The sup--', the Shore Line Electri crailroad and causedit to be run over the line all nigtft. It was draped in b^ck, and bore on either side a. large picture of the dead man.

Dr. Montague R. Leverson, a neighbor ot Mr. George and his friend for nineteen years, says: "On the day Mr. George was debating whether or not to accept the proffered nominatlon for mayor, I was walking along the( -shore road with him. He was then recovering slowly from the attack of apoplexy he had had In speaking of the nomination he asked: *If I accept, what is the worst that can happen to me?" I replied: 'Since you ask I will tell you. The campaign may be fatal to you.' He replied: 'Well, I must die som etime how can I die better than for humanity? Beside, so dying would do •mor* for the cause than I could were I t* live.' 'If that is your feeling,' I said, 'fes have not anything to say.' gdMiea
