WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-Although this gov
eminent has repeatedly and emphatically ex-
pressed its desire to the Spanish government
for the termination of the instruction in Cuba
and rendered its good offices to produce an &C
commodation between the contending parties,
it has never gone to the extent of the late

TO THE
BONDHOLDERS
OF THE
New Jersey Midland Railway Co,

AS have been commissioned to lay before you a
plan for recognizing the New Jersey Midland Rail
way Co. allow me to call your attention to several
i'm pottant points in said plan.
The 81 1T and principal point for your consid-
Grafton is that the purchasing Company guaran-
tees to every Bondholder all rights and security that
is row covered tv the present mortgages.
SECDNO.-It contracts to make one-third ~ of
your secnrity marketable one, by giving Bond
with Coupons payable semi-annually from date
which must make it equal in yalCe to the price orig
naily paid; so that this Onethird will be equivalent
to tire price hat you are getting for the whole
amount
THIRD.-The balance, two-thirds a. is given
in First Mortgage 30-Year Bond with Coupons,
payable at the option of the Company in cash or
scrip said scrip undabe for the first six years into
First Mortgage Income Bond which Bond is entitled
to all income to the amount of the Coupon attached
after paying interest on the First Mortgage Bonds
Under this plan, the Company will be able to meet
its obligations promptly.
FOU kTH The Purchasing Company propose
to pay off all prior liens now standing ahead of the
First Mortgage Bonds, and receive in payment for
such advances, the First Mortgage Income BONDS.
TIE Company feel justified in doing this, in
sideraon Of the advantages to be derived by putting
the two Corporations into one Company.
FkFTH.-Unpaid Coupons converted into a
First Mortgage Income Bond and all junior securi-
ties and claims secured by the purchasing Com
pany as to their prorities
If these points are clearly set forth and under
stood, 1t would seem be for the best interest of ev
cry bondholder-to place his security in improved
and marketable shape at once, and by so doing re-
move the Company from its present uncertainties
and che Courts.
All persons DESTROYS of joining in said plan, or any
information concerning it, will be forwarded the doc
uments, by sending their post-off1ce address TO

A STORY WITH A MORAL

One day, 25 years ago, four gentlemen
we're seated around table in a restaurant
in San Francisco. One of them was the
postmaster of the city, and all were, or
havebecomc, distinguished in the politics of
the Pacificc coast. The postmaster took
a letter from his pocket and said: ''See
what got to day. 1t was from young
woman in central New York, and directed
simply to the postmaster of the city of
San Francisco, she never having heard of
him except officially. 1t stated that the
writer was poor and depended on her earn
ings as a teacher for living. Salaries in
in central New York were low, and she
wrote to ask if the postmaster would not
send her the money to pay her fare out,
she engaging to repay him when she should
get position 10 teach in California.
Here was most singular position, but she
had not reckoned without her host in ap.

made up purse. large aud full enough,
not only to pay her expenses, but also to
provide her with handsome outfit. She
came, and they exerted themselves to get
her q position to- teach. OF course she
married in short. time, but not before
she had repaid them the money they lent
her. Theylos sight Of her for years, until
