A Dime Novel Story for Little
Boys: On a certain day in the year
1885, in the ninth month Of the year,
small boy named Emory Light
might have been seen sitting in his
fathers house, in the goodly city of
Dayton. Ohio, reading a dime novel,
as he had done on many an occasion
before As he read Of the wonderful
travels and exploits of the dime novel
people, the great world began to spread
before his vision, like some beautiful
dream-land He beheld himself carv-
ing his own way through the great
wilderness Of experiences that go to
make up a busy world, and rapidly
rising to distinction and fame The
more he read the more firmly he be-
came convinced that Dayton was too
small for him. Carefully laying away
the book, he gathered together few
dollars, and struck out for Springfield.
An experience Of day or two con-
vinced him that the Champion City
was too small for one of his romantic
ideas, and he soon started for Cincin-
natl. Arriving in the Queen City, he
fell into the company Of an old habit

spent all his money but enough to
buy an accordion, which he purchased

PARIS, May l3.-Tbe reduced copy
OF the Bartholdi statue of Liberty En-
tightening the World was to-day
formally presented by the American
residents OF the French colony to the
municipality Of Paris. The cere-
monies Of the presentation and the ac-
ceptance took place on the site of the
statue, the Place DIES Estates Unis.
The Hon. Levi p. Morton, ex. United
States minister, on behalf of the
American donors, made the speech Of
presentation and that of acceptance
was made by NJ. Bane, the president
of the municipal council Of Paris.
Mr.. Morton said he hoped the gift
would help perpetuate the friendship
between the two nations which the
changing events OF a century had al
ready strengthened.
A breakfast was given by Mr.. Nor
ton In honor Of the sculptor Bartholdi.
Among the distinguished guests were
M Brisson, president OF the council Of
minister's; M. Floquett, president Of
the chamber Of deputies; M. CALDER,
minister of marine, and M. de Lesseps.
M. de Freycinet assured Mr.. Morton
that the French government would
make every effort 10 hasten the repeal
Of the decree forbidding the importa-
ton into France Of American pork
and the establishment OF system
of inspection.
Premier Brisson, replying to Mr..
Morton, thanked the American COM
mission for the gift and dwelt upon
the reciprocal friendship between
France and America, which, he said,
like the Bartholdi statute, Eliminates
and not menaces the world. Referring
to the energy of the Americans in the
days Of secession, Mr.. Brlsson said:
but there is no longer u question Of
war In the future. Peace, liberty and
justice between nations constitute the
great reward which two nations going
hand in hand should reap.n
He concluded by expressing regret
at Mr.. Morton's departure.

The annual report was read and
showed good result for the last year.
The party leave on a special train for q
trip over the road this afternoon.
The annual report shows Gross

taxes, $lSl sol; net earnings, $685.
2lS; interest, sinking funds, rental, etc.,
III ,826, 203; Surplus earnings, $685., 015.
Four-tifths OF the stock of the road
was represented at the meeting. The
earnings of the road in aggregate and
per mile were larger in 1884 than in
any preceding year, Notwithstanding
the business depression, and while the
operating expenses were kent down to
the very low figures of AZ per
cent. the road has been maintained
up to q high standard and 3344 tons OF
steel rails have been added to the
track. The total mileage at the end
OF the year was SIS miles, of which 6SS
were steel rails.
The aggregate bonded debt on Janu-
airy /, was $23, S93, 900. an increase since
the previous report of 1871 900. The
floating Indebtedness amounts to
81 644, 76S, which is secured by unsOld
general mortgage bonds and other re-
sources of the company valued at
So, 500 900.
Extended reference is made TO the
relations existing between the st.
Louis & San Frencisco aud the At
lantic & Pacific companies and the
southern & Central Pacific roads, the
value of which is regarded as very
great. The company has continued
TO pay per cent dividend in its first
preferred stock and has earned
In addition 81 per cent. ON its 10 600 900
of preferred stock, but as this surplus
has been used temporarily in part
payment for new construction and
equipment, and as the bonds were sold
in advance, therefore it has not yet
paid dividends on its second preferred
stock. The companies, however, ex.
pect in due time to be able to liquidate
the floating debt and commence the
payment OF such dividends.
