promised That distribution OF the railroad
rental should be made so as to put into the city
treasury nearly three times much as it was
then receiving. How that promise has been
kept your readers know. Instead of receiving
more the city has received $4,000 per annum
less from its railroad stock. And the policy
inaugurated by the new board of directors anG
now in force, is to declare no dividends al
for five years longer. And it is expected that
the ''party'' will stand by them in the future as
it has in the past.
And what failure refunding has been Ho w
could it have been otherwise? Was not this
contention-if it should result in putting more
money into the city treasury from the railroad
for the benefit of the bond holders (whc
were alens) and against the preferred stock
holders (Who were our own citiZens)! If The
old bonds should thus be made better and be
enhanced In market value, was it probable
per cent bonds? Would preferred stockhod
ers, who thought they were abused and the il
rights violated, lend their aid to any such pro-
ject.
And the railroad suit = what grand sue
cess that has been! The costs of course are
mere tr1fe-say 81 900, more or less. The pre-
ferred stockholders were then receiving 4! pei
cent. dividends. Henceforth, under the decis.
ion of the court, they are entitled to per cent
dividends each year. The old directors have
been sustained by the court and their financia
policy of setting aside in a sinking fund por.
ment of the city note at maturity, as also their
views of the rights of preferred stockholders
of earnings, met" and of the debt question
have been approved and established. And
what refutation this of all the charges and ac.
cusatons made against them! In this particu.
lar, however, the decision should afford gratifi-
cation to our citizens. They should rejoice
that these men-their fellow citizens-are thus
shown to have acted honestly and rightly. The
city cannot afford to discard them as unworthy
or to brand them as thieves. 1t needs the aid
of them and other citizens, who stood with
them, in the various business enterprises that
are now demanding our attention.
And the decision is not without comfort In
another particular. Instead of waiting five
years longer for railroad dividend to alleviate
the burden Of our taxes, the city can hence
forth receive on its stock about $4,000 each
year. If the sinking fund is dispensed with
this sum will come to the city. Let this be
done. If you, fellow citizens, so say, it will be
done. CITIZEN.

NUMBER IS
blue Blood.

The term blue blood, from the
Spanish phrase sangre azul, is mnch
used without very clear idea of it's
slgnltcstion. Its real meaning is
"pot that the blood itself is blue (ex-
cepting that all venous blood has a
blush tiuge)-but that the persons or
class to whom the term is applied
have skins so white and transparent
that veins show blue through them,
and this is taken as a certain in
dication that the class or persons thus
designated are without an admixture
OF races. ANY one who has travelled

would see at. once its applicability.
The defendants of the Gothic coz
querors OF Spain retain to this day
characteristics Of their ancestors-tbe
white, transparent skin, blue eyes and
and aburn or tawny hair, and their
veins show blus through their cu:icle;
but In case of All adm:zture of African
or Moorish blood, the blue blood

case ofa great preponderance ofthe
latter races the veins show merely as
ridges. Tourists in Mexico will notice

Aabit That Become Diseases

Not few ofthe diseases of which SO
much complaint is made are diseases
of habit. All of the vital organs get
INTO habits OF acting in a certain man
ner at certain times, aud it is no easy
matter To- break it up.
Coughing is often nothing more than
a habit; 50 may splitting be, yawning,
laughing cryrps, er"vL;"s .I- g..
gers, scratching the head, squirting,
or rolling the eys, lolling the tongue
out. biting the finger nails. picking
the ears or nose, the repetition of words
feigning surprise and horror, and
many others. 1t is well known among
physicians that the stomach and
liver are beth given to forming bad
habits, and very bad ones, too. These
are more difficult to break up than
acute attacks of disease.
Mankind.is subject to great deal
of silly habits, or at least the little
ones which do no special harm, and
productive of no good except as far as
pleasing the individual for the time
being. These often become second
natures, and there are few persons
but have more or less of them.

self to doing this for short time,
during which it became habit and
finally became a necessity. This seems
like very silly thing for an intelii>
gent man to be guilty of, but habits
OF less consequence than that will
make men miserable.
just recall those of your
acquaintance whom you know to have
little peculiarities of their own, and
see how easy it is to trace them to
some habit which was considered too
trItiing to merit even a passing notice.

At West Ansonia Conn, resides a
a lad Of ten who was afflicted with n
seed wart on the top of this foot. IL
was very troublesome at times, and
he often loosened his shoe to prevent
the irritation. On two occasions the
wart had been cut to the surface of
the foot, bu: would soon grow again,
each time to larger proportions. A
few weeks since as the boy was sitting
at the table eating his dinner, his shoe
off, as usual, large pet rooster came
in for the crumbs, and in his haste to
get away with as many as possible in
short time seized the wart. Before
the lad could shake him off he with
bis forcep'shaped beak pulled the wart
out by the roots. The wound healed
in few days and there is no ap-
Pearance Of further growth.
