a good story of old days in Massa-
chusetts has recently been published.
In one of the churches in the eastern
part of the State a bass vol was pro-
cured to help the choir. One summer
Sunday, while the parson was in the
middle of the sermon, a big bull got out
Of his pasture and came staggering
down the road, growing as he came.
The minister beard the low below, and
looking up toward the singers seats
with a grave face he said:-.'I would
thank the musicians not to tune up dur
ing service time; it annoys me very
much" The choir was surprised, but
nothing was said. Pretty soon the bull
gave another grumble, and then the par
son was mad. He stopped short. and
looking directly at the bass-viol player
said: Il now particularly request Mr..
L that he will not tune his instru-
ment while 1 am preaching" This was
more than the fiddler could stand. Pop
ping up in his seat he snapped out. 1T
isn't me, parson, 1T isn't me. It's that

If there is anyone interested in the
hat trade who would like to introduce a
taking novelty for hot weather THE
PALATKA NEWS will be glad to send a
sample of a vegetable material which
would make a light and cool hat, per-
haps, which can be collected in album
dance, already felted, and would be as
popular as the bark hat is getting to be.
We refer to the fiber found in sheets UNI
der the sheath of the leaf stalks of the
tree palmetto. The material goes to
waste now but is said to be very durable
and is certainly quite elastic. The
fibers are very long and strong and cross
each other at nearly right angles.
There are doubtless other uses to which
the material could be put. Manufacture
ers into whose hands this paper may
fail are invited to send for samples.

vestment and permanent improvement
account during the year $6,SlS, 1874. 81, of
which S., 0,079. So was invested chiefly
in the construction of new branches or ex-
tensions, and 81 1928, ia. 65 was spent for
new constructions and equipments for the
company's main lines. There have been
built $50 miles of additional road.
A significant feature of the report, so
far as this section of the country is con-
cerned, is furnished by the following para
graphs:
1T had been intended to meet the cost
of all future branches and extensions by
the issue of a new series of 5 per cent
collateral trust bonds of the Union Pacific
Railway Co., offering the same in the first
place to the stockholders in proportion to
their holdings. Work was contracted for
early in the year with this understanding.
In view of the constant discussion OF the
affairs of the company, which resulted
from the Investigations OF the Pacific
railroad commission, and which continued
throughout the entire summer, the times
we're not considered propitious for placing
a loan of the character of that referred to.
Subsequently, when the conclu-
sions of the commission were made
public, moentary conditions were I'M
favorable. Under these circumstances the
securities representing the construction of
new branches and connections, which
would have formed the underlying security
of the proposed collateral trust loan, were
placed in the treasury OF the company,
where they now are; and the outlay they
represent has in part been carried as a
floating liability. Whenever an adjust
ment shall be reached as a result of the
labors of the Pacific railroad commission,
the bill now pending becomes q law, or
whenever the financial conditions are
favorable for the negotiation of securities,
the loan in question can be placed, and
the company put at once on a dividend
paying basis.
"At present, little new construction is
going on, whether upon the existing sys-
TEN or contemplated new lines. Neither
is it proposed to enter upon such construc-
ton until either a settlement is effected
with the government or some general
financial plan is adopted for meeting the
cost of such work in advance of entering
upon it."

ton the Union Pacific holds stock or
bonds in sixteen other companies.
The appended extracts make from the
official resume of the tabulated state
ments will be of general interest. The
surplus revenue of the company after
making provision for all government re-
q%uirements under existing laws, and COW
ering all liabilities incurred on account Of
the entire system, was SO, 169, 729. 16, or
So per cent on the capital stock. Dur
ing the year, owing largely to the lease of
the Oregon Railway & Navigation COM
pany, the value of the Pacific coast traffic
largely increased, the revenue from it
amounting to $3,4lS, S66.46 as compared
with 81, 1898, $685. 10 in 1886, an increase of
so per cent. Owing to the drought which
prevailed in Kansas and Nebraska during
July and August the tonnage of agricul-
tural products moved during the year de-
creased 1873 per cent as compared with
the previous year.
The revenue derived from the local
traffic of the company was seriously affect
ed during niue months of the year by the
operation Of the interstate IN act.
The revenue derived by the company
from its local freight business, excluding
commercial coal, was 81 $3.50. 722. so in
1887 as compared with 81, 1854, 459. 50 in
1886, a decrease of 8. 80 per cent.
Under the restricting provisions of the
interstate commerce act" says the report,
''as nearly as can be ascertained about
one-half, or As per cent of the free pas.
senger travel, exclusive of employees has
been cut off. This amount of travel at
full tariff rates should represent $3.50, 900
a year; it may be estimated hat the an
nual revenue of the company was in
creased by one-half that amount, or $685.
600, through the limitation of this abuse.
On the other hand large reductions were
made in local passenger rates, averaging
on the Oregon Short line and Utah &
Northern division Is per cent. and affect
ing passenger earnings to the estimated
amount of $500, O0O."
As a result of the financial operations
of the year, the funded debt has been de-
creased 81, 7Ss,472. so, while the balance
of cash assets over the sum of the floating
liabilities has decreased $949, 500. CO, max
ing a net decrease of liabilities, both
funded and floating, of 1888, 97l. SS. A
large amount of new equipment, both
motive power and cars, is required to ac-
commodate the rapidly increasing traffic
of the company. 1t must be furnished or
business cannot be done with economy.
1t is estimated that three m%illions-in value
will be called for either during the cur
rent year or early in 1889. This cannot
be paid for out of any means now at com
mand. The directors have therefore de-
cided to issue ten year notes of the com
pany, secured by a trust covering the
new equipment in part purchased by such
notes, as has for many years been done by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. The first
series OF notes under this trust will be is
sued and disposed of during the current
year. The company has increased its in

Union Pacific Railway company, to which
reference was made yesterday, is a book
of l44 very large pages. 1t embraces a
detailed report of the complicated bust

interest to all people who live along the
line of the road.

TBE AGE OF CONSENT.


The Tribune does not exactly
seem to understand what is desired
by the enactment of a law making
the cage of consent" eighteen
years instead of twelve. Under the
present law the carnal knowledge OF
. girl under twelve years of age
subjects the accused to a charge of
rape. After she reaches the age of
twelve she is no longer legally a
child. Make the age of consent
eighteen years and the question be-
comes q much more serious matter

A ABSOLUTE SHERIFF.

The tragedy at Birmingham, Ala
bana, shows that the Sheriff wa
the right man in the right place. A
mob Of men who had decided t.
lynch . man charged with murder,
attemptsd-tc force an entrance to
the Jail.
His crime was an atrocious one,
but the mob had no right to assume
that the law would not handle the
proposition. They Of course count
ed on the idea that the Sheriff
would be awed by the show of
force and numbers, and after max
ing the usual sham show of resist
ance, surrender the keys.
The Sheriff appears 70 have
known his duty as swsrn official,
and after repeated warnings to the
mob to keep back, warnings to
which they gave no heed, he or
dered his deputies to fire, and sew
eral people were killed and wound
cd. The unfortunate ending OF the
occurrence is to be regretted but the
officer acted as he was under a sol
emn oath to act. Where Sheriff
was placed a. was this one, and
feels that he does not care to de-
fend 4 murderer, he should at once
nstify the county authorities of the
fact, and allow . man to be APP
pointed in his place who wAl pro-
tect his prisoners from mob law.
