miscellaneous Notes.

The G., p. & Q. shows a gain of $500, 600 in
gross earnings the first three weeks of January,
compared with 1884.
The net earnings of the Missouri Pacific over
interest, leases and taxes for 1884 were So, 700,-
3l9, or at the rate of l2a per cent. on the $780,
600, GOO of capital stock.
The Chicago Is Great Southern road is now
running only mixed trains. After the arrival of
new engines and cars the regular passenger
trains will be put on again.
A bill has been introduced in the West Vir-
ginia Legislature which. if passed, will impose a
fine of So, 900 on any railroad company guilty Of
unjust discrimination in freight rates.
The Northwestern roads are experiencing a
genuine boom in business, and the only question
is how to get locomotives and cars to move it.
The bulk of the business is grain, hogs and cat
tie.
The directors of the Detroit, Lansing& North
ern road have declared adividend of ~ per cent.
on the preferred stock. payable Feb. 16, and
passed the dividend on; the common. TIL COM
pany paid 6 per cent. on the common stock in
1886, 1883 and 1884. Last year was a poor year
for lumber roads, and 1855 promises little better
at the start. The last sale of the common stock
was at 70, ex. dividend, in October, 1884.
The financial affairs of the Philadelphia &
Erie road are. taking better shape. The entire
claim of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
been liquidated by the issue of 81, 900, 900 of Al
per cent. bonds and 10000 shares of common
stock. In addition to this liberal method of set
ting the debt, the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, which is the only holder Of the preferred
stock, has agreed to reduce the rate Of dividend
to be paid thereon to Z per cent, and to make the
same ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS is, that the dividend
on the preferred shares shall not lap over from
one year till another, but shall be due only in
such years as it is earned.

The freight-coupler in use on Pennsylvania lines
is similar in principle to the well-known
Janney passenger a r-coupler. bat simpler in its
construction. It's leading fee sure is the piyoted
hook or knuckle and the key, which takes the
place of a coupling pin. When the key is with
drawn by means OF the handlever, the knuckle
swings on its pivot and the cars are uncoupied.
On the other hand. if the key is in place before
coupling, the knuckles on opposite draw heads
remain immovable. and on coming together will
not couple; but when the keys are withdrawn
and the knrckles opened, the latter. upon com
the plan. Provision is made for coupling with
link and pin by a hole through the hook for the
pin, and also a portion of the hook cut away In
the center to receive the link. The coupling Is
effected automatically, and does hot require the
operator to go between the cars.

$lEZ, 3OO
From this it will appear that as against the
$50, 900 paid by the people of this community
the board has already, in the first year since the
founding of DePauw University, expended in
our local interest the sum of 1922, 300. This
does not look as though our citizens had paid for
the structures, grounds and improvements re-
Gently added to the university.
The next fact to which l will call attention is
this that beyond the $50, 600 contributed by our
own people, the board of trustees have had no
other resources than those furnished by Mr..
short, Mr.. DePauw has. in his transformations
way, paid the bill This community is not
only satisfied with the DePauw enterprise, but
is happy to perceive that he and the board are
doing more for US locally than was ever prom
ised. As for the future we have all trust and
confidence. 1t is proper TO add that in the above
schedule of expenditures the So, 600 for the as
Economical observatory was contributed by our
benefactor, Robert McKim, of Madison, and not
by Mr.. DePauw.
One other thing must be said in JUS
tice to the founder of this univer-
sity and to the board of trustees.
Mr.. DePauw does not assume to be the sole pro-
prietor OF the university. His bearing before
the board is in every respect modest and defer
entail. Nothing could be more commenable
than the spirit which he manifests in presiding
over the official body of the institution. He is.
OF course, profoundly interested in all that is
done. He gives counsel in everything. He is
instant. in season and out of season, to encour-
age, advise and manage; but the idea that he
dictates to the board, and controls affairs
in the manner indicated by your cor.
respondents letter will appear preposterous
TO those who know the facts. 1t would
be quite impossible for a man placed as Mr..
DePauw has been for the last year and a half
to exhibit more of the character of the thorough
and devoted Christian gentleman than he has
done. Moreover, it is neither complimentary
nor true that our trustees are men who can be
managed and directed in anything as against
their Judgment and conscience. Let it not be
supposed that such men as A. c. Downey, Asa
~Iglehart. Will Cumback. William Newkirk. T.
b. Redding, William Graham. F. G. Holiday,
J. j. Hight and Thomas Bowman can be con
trolled in their official action by anybody or by
anything that is not perfect In motive and
just In application. These worthy men and Mr..
DePauw are simply cooperating as brethren and
equals in the great work OF building up, in this
community, an institution of which our State
and the whole West may justly be proud.
Doubtless your correspondents has aimed to state
things as they are in respect to the official man
agement of DePauw University. but he has
missed his aim as widely as possible. This letter
is written at the suggestion of one who has bear
present at every meeting OF Che board of Trus.
tees for thifty-thre years. q

Action worthy of Co,nmenaatibn.

The Baltimore & Ohio has now entered upon a
much broader work of railroad education, by es-
tablishing at Mount Glare, in Baltimore, a tech
nical school, from which it hopes to recruit its
staff and forces with trained men. All APP
p~rentices are divided into three classes, desig-
mated respectively as the first or Junior class of
apprentices, the second class, or cadets. and the
third or senior class, of cadet officers. In ap-
pointments made to the school preference is to
be given, other things being equal, to the sons
of employees who have been killed or injured in
the company's service, and free tuition is given
to those only who are sons of employees having
been in the service of the company five consecu-
tive years. They must pass an examination as
to proficiency in elementary studies and bodily
health. The company bears The expense of the
education of the apprentices and cadets, and in
consideration thereof expects the privilege of
availing itself of their services, at fair salaries,
for at least three years after graduation.
