the war; the railroads of the South have generally
been in poor condition, and those which were

Creates Confidence in the Arrangements.

1t is gratifying to note that number of i'm
portant railroad companies are falling into line
III the matter of publishing monthly earnings.
1t is due to both stock and bondholders, and the
business men as well, as through such state
ments the pulse of business generally is made
apparent. Judicous reticence must be permit
ted to the managers of great railroad corpora
ton, which is surrounded by powerful rivals
But, having promised this much, the duty of a
railrDad company, any other corporation, to
afford its investors full and reasonable informa-
ton at all times is self-evident. There is not
half much danger of the improper manipula
tion of the securities through the publication of
earnings and other details of the financial and
operating departments as there is through the
Withholding of information. In this connection
we note that the New York Central will here
after publish its earnings monthly.

Speaking OF morals reminds me
that one Of the ladies Of the diplomatic

by her immodesty in dressing, and at

peared in a costume which, if it had
been worn anywhere else, would have
caused the interference Of the police.
She is young and beautiful and her
reputation is unstaincd, but even in
Washington society, which tolerates
almost everything, she can not go
much further without losing the re-
spect of decent people. She has al
ways been noted for an ambition to
exhibit the charms with which boun-
tiful nature has endowed her and the
artistic perfection of her figure is as
well known as the Washington monu-

WASHINGTON, January 31.-Repre-

Government by its employees in the
several departments into classes and
grades, establishing therefor univer-
sal compensation, according to the
duties and skill required in the re-
spective classes or grades, which
compensation shall be paid alike to
all persons in such grades.
The second section enacts that

be assigned to another higher class,
the same wages shall be paid as if
such person had originally employed

such higher class or grade.
The third section reads: "That
appointments made under this act
may be made by the several heads

pealing clause" fJ igss

History of the Newburg Mines.

The following historical sketch of
the mines at Newburg is very season.
able Just now, and is taken from the
Preston county Journal:
Lawrence Henry prospected and
found coal at Newburg after the b.
& o. was built. Hiscock and Rus
ley opened the coal mines in 1855.
In 1856 the Orrel Coal Company
bought them out; Lawrence Henry
was appointed general superintend-
ent. Henry was a native of Scotland,
and came to America in 1916, and in
1853 sent the first carload of coal to
General Columbus O'Donnell,s Balti-
more. The mines went through the
'13 panic without stopping. The
coal on the hill being all nearly min
ed out, the Company, in 1881, sunk
a test hole where the shaft is down
500 feet. In January, 1882 the shaft
was begun by Hugh hurry, and a
depth of 175 feet was reached by
July, 1888, when John Laxton took
charge as superintendent The
work was rapidly pushed, and the
coal sought was reached. Its depth
is 355 feet, and it is the deepest OF
the six coal shafts in the State. The
main heading extends nearly south
distance of 1900 feet. and the cross
heading at the southeast is about
800 feet long. This heading has a
great many small rooms running out
into every direction. isq ~ 40 r-.'7l
In sinking the shaft there was on
ly one serious accident, that was
the drowning Of Edward Edwards in
February, 1884, .sasasss vs1sr
