The Reading Railroad.

Philadelphia, Pa, November -.
Franklin Il. Gowen has issued a clrcu-
lar announcing his intention of re.
signing the presidency of the Reading
road NJ the expiration of his present
term. He recommends Geo. III. Deck
helm, vice-president, as his successor.
Gowen takes this step because the
company has now surmouDted All DIFF
ficulties of the last few evenifui year..
He says the net earnings of the COM
pany for the current fiscal year ending
November Both, after providing for all
fixed charges, will he equal 10 per
cent. on the common stock OF the
company. AS these net earnings are
all pledged to the payment OF outstand-
ing income mortgage bonds, they
must be relieved before IA dividend can
be made 10 shareholders. He enter
taiDs no doubt, however, that the out
standing income mortgage can be pro-
yided for out of the proceeds of other
securities available for the purpose,
and the surplus of net earnings over
fixed charges carried 10 the credit OF
the dividend fund. In this event. IT Is
probable the opinion OF stockholders
will be taken at the forthcoming an
nual meeting upon the question OF The
payment of dividend and the proper
amount thereof. Should this he done,
he will vote MI proxies entrusted 10
him, except where otherwise directed,
in favor OF u per cent. belng three
years' Arrears legally due upon preferred
stock, and 3 per cent. upon common
stock. II Is believed It semi-annual
dividend of . per cent. each upon the
latter can hereafter be maintained.
on Mr.. Governs retirement from the
presidency of the Reading railroad he
will be- appointed general solicitor.

The Glass Strikers.

Pittsburg, Pa, November 22.-There
are no indications of an early adjust
ment of differences between the win
dow glass manufactures and blowers.
The subcommittee appointed at the
late meeting of the conference com
mittee to prepare plans of settlement
for future consideration are not eX-
pected to report before the middle of
December, and manufacturer in an
Interview said that he did not expect
factories TO resume this year, as the
committee would likely fail to agree.
Manufacturers he said, had imported
enough glass to supply the trade for
mouths, and even If the men are
willing to accept the terms offered,
many factories would not resume I'LL
the disposal Of imported stock.

FREE-TRADE.
WattcrSon's Speech in New York-I.e.

New York, November 22.--llon.
Henry Watterson. editor of the Cour-
ier-Journnl of Louisville, delivered an
address tonight in advocacy of the
principles of fre5-trade. The address
was somewhat in the nature OF Il reply
to arguments in favor of protection
presented last night by cN-United
States Consul Dudley. Mr.. Watterson
best thinkers in this section, who
have given attention to the subjects of
free-trade, fair trade and protection.
While the closest attention was paid
to the utteranceS of the speaker the
applause was generous and genuine.
Rev. Henry Ward Beccher presided,
and presented Mr.. Watterson, who
had q most cordial reception. Beccher
said -" AS to the charge that ] am n

A MISSISSIPPI BRIDGE,
Which. Unlike All Other Bridges, Is n
Solid I,Ond-bed of Gravel.

Minneapolis, November Is. ~ The
first and only stone bridge across the
Mississippi was completed Yesterday.
II Is the ST. Paul, Minneapolis IL Mani
ioba railway viaduct, spanning the
river Just below the Falls OF st.
Anthony-a massive stone structure,
stretching to the east across the river,
curving AT first slightly To the LEFT in
u graceful sweep. and then running at
right angles to the stream directly TO
the East Side landing, the whole
course being 2,l0o feet. The upper
surface OF the bridge presents TO the
view smooth stone roadway, carry
ing two tracks on four lines of steel
rails, and walled In on either side by
heavy blocks OF stone, high enough
and strong enough 10 prevent "a train
from leaving the bridge
even should IL he de-
rallied, The viaduct crosses the river
with twenty-tllree arches, sixteen
spans of eighty feet each. The mate
rial Is granite aud. magnetism lime
stone. The width is twenty-eipht
feet over all, and the height from the
spriuging point of the arches 10 the
top Is fifty feet and sis inches. One
caisson required SIX months work he
fore stone-lnying could begin.
Two hundred men have been EN-
ployed on the bridge, and three lives
have been lost during It's construction.
The cost was 100000. The bridge was
bnilt for passenger traffic, and IL 10 he
used by the Manitoba, Northern Pa
cilic, Omaha aud TT. Louis lines, and
possibly by the Milwaukee,. The pos
sibility Of running ut full speed over IL
will result Ia reducing the time be-
tween Minneapolis and st. Paul from
thirty to twenty minutes

Mr.. j. G. Mclcher of O'Quinn, Fay
elite county, Tex, has Just received u
patent for his new ant, mole, gopher,
ground-squirrcl and prairie-dog cXter-

He says the Victory ADt-Killer has
paid him well, and gave satisfaction.
He sold 7D8 machines and fnrm-rights;
about $50 machines 10 agents and deal

Polar Voyages.

Lieutenant Danenhower, OF Jeanette
fame, says polar voyages are of no practical
value to commerce or mankind, and they
are of questionable scientific value. He
thinks that for all useful purposes the Arctic
regions should be held in reserve so far as
exploration is concerned until other parts of
the habitable earth have been fully exam
ined. He is of the opinion that the Obser-
vations taken by the Jeanette expedition
warrant the belief that the circumpolar
basin of the North is interspersed with
islands and is not an open sea. He says
there are no natives on the islands north of
Siberia, and never were any so far as known.
1t would be extremely difficulty for man to
subsist through winter on these islands if
unprovided with food brought from the con-
tinent. He thinks the chances are that
Lieutenant Greeley's party will be brought
away in safety, but he evidently has little
confidence that the result of the observa-
tions taken by that party will compensate
for the risk of lives of gallant men which all
such expeditions must necessarily involve
In this age of course it is understood that
the investigation of scientific facts relating
to climate, electric and magnetic phenomena,
the earth's shape and productions will
always be a powerful stimulus for the ex-
ploration of all unknown or little known
regions, but it seems extremely doubtful if
there is any occasion for the Government to
take hand in such expeditions. If scien-
lists desire to explore the Artic regions at
private expense, there is nothing to prevent
them from so doing

A Remarkable Case.
[AmaGor (Cal.) Ledger

The death OF T. A. Driver, of Plymouth
furnishes an interesting study for med
ical scientists. Mr.. Driver met with an acci-
dent some time ago, and never was well
afterwards. Whether the accident brought
on the malady which ended his life is un-
determined. The symptoms, however,
which followed the mishap led some to sup
pose that the kidneys were the source of the
trouble. We are informed that he did not
have the slightest cough, nor any of the
usual symptoms Of consumptive except a
gradual wasting away. In the interest of
science a post mortem examination was
made, when it was found that the lungs
were totally destroyed. There was not a
sound particle in them. They were almost
black in color, and cavities large enough to
put ones fist in were found in each, filled
with purient matter, and the entire lunge
substance was covered with tubercles as
thick as they could possibly exist. 1t was
astonishing that life could hold out until
the lungs got to such a state, and more
astonishing still that this condition was
reached without the slightest cough to indi-
cate the seat of trouble The kidneys, on
the other hand were found to be in per-
fectly healthy condition.

Newspaper Honor.

Colonel G. A. Pierce's address at Fort
Wayne: A short time ago discussion arose
in Chicago as to the relative duties of law
yers and newspapers, and the following query
occurred to me: What would be said of any
respectable journal that should take fee
for trying to make black appear whitehall
should undertake the defense of notorious
murderer, for instance? Not secretly, and
while pretending to be impartial-that, OF
course, would be intensely hypocritical and
dishonorable-b openly and notoriously
The accused party would say, for instance
II want defenders. I will hire Lawyer
Such-a-One and newspaper So-and-So." What
an outcry would 60 up, and yet what is it
that makes such an act highly dishonorable
on the part of newspaper and perfectly per-
missible and proper on the part of an attor-
ney? Is newspaper honor held too
high, or is legal honor held too low? be-
lieve the time will come when lawyers
duties will be confined to seeing that muir
derers and robbers have fair and just trial
according to law, and when no amount of
money will be allowed to convert them into
paid eulogies Of dangerous men.

The Home Life of German Girls.

Their life is far different from that of
American girls, and we could hardly fancy
anything more prosy than the home life of
the high and well-born German girl. They
are educated precisely alike, the range of
study being limited. The common branches,
French, sometimes English, and few orna-
mental accomplishments, complete the list.
The statement that American girls study
the sciences and sometimes Greek and
Latin causes from them manifestations of
surprise. The traditions and predjudices of
their class are carefully inculcated. Any
woman who does think or act in opposition
to the conventional standard is looked upon
with distrust But their domestic education
is carefully attended to; whatever their
rank, they master all the branches and
steps of housekeeping. Their wedding
trousseau and outfit in bed and table linen
is generous in quantity and beautiful in
texture, and usually made up by their own
willing hands. An engagement with them
is as solemn and binding as marriage con-
tract, and unfaithfulness in either sex is an
exception and meets with hearty condemna-
Their simpleness and quietness of life is
reproach to the lives of most of the idle,
ease-loving, frivolous girls of many other
countries

THE STUBBORN BOOT.

Bother!'' was all John Clatterby said,
His breath came quick and his cheek was red;
He fourished his elbows and looked absurd,
While over and over. his "Bother" heard.
Harder and harder the fellow worked,
Aalnly and savagely still he jerked;
The boot half on would dangle and flap,
Bother!" and then-he burst the strap.
Redder than ever his hot cheek famed,
Harder than ever he fumed and blamed;
he wriggled his heel and tugged at the leather,
I'LL knees and chin came humping together
My boy" said /, in a voice like flute.
why net-ahem-try the mate of that boot,
Or the other foot?' I'm goose" laughed John
AS he stood, in a flash, with his two boots on.
In half the affairs of this busy life
EAs the very same day said to my wife)
Our troubles come from trying to put
The left hand shoe on the right hand foot
Or vice versa (meaning reverse, sir)
10 try to force, as quite of course,
any wrong foot in the right shoe
IS the silliest thing man can do.

A Michigan Love Story.

From the Mitchell (Iinn.) Republican.
DR.. Wellman reports the cutest and sweet.
est little love story we have had from real
life. Yesterday, as he was waiting at Parker
D. T., for the train, country lass came in
with her fellow in the farm wagon, locked
in each others arms. The young man lived
in Iowa, and was on the eve Of starting
home. The train was ready, and on to the
platform went his carpet-bag. Another en-
brace and the train pulled out. The lover
swung on, and the lassie waved him kisses.
The train, going down grade, gained rapid
speed; the boy waved his handkerchief, but
his heart was in his mouth. Off went the
old satchell; off followed the lover, with
heels in the air Over and over went he, and
at last lit in mudhole, rolled like a ball
against the clay bank, and finally got on his
feet and started back to see his dulcinea.
She at the same time was making for him.
They met and embraced, regardless of clay
or bruises. The Iowa lover was heard to re-
mark: Ducky, will never leave you un-
til you are my wife," The Justice of the
Peace was sent for, and the twain returned
to the farm as one.
