REPORTS THAT THE NEw-JERsEY CENTRAL Is

Philadelphia, Dec. 90 (Specia.-In Thirdst tho
mokers are doing considerable talking the large
but quiet sales of Reading Railroad second prefer
ence bonds. Thus far, they say, the sales in New
York and this city amount to over 5000, OOO a
prominent broker telcgraphed about the matter to
his NewYCrk correspondent, who replied: The bonds
being sold at the house of Maxwell d. Graves. j..
X. Maxwell, the head Of the house, is son-in law Of
Austin Corbin and is president Of the New jersey
Central Railroad" 1t was argued from this that
the New-Jersey Central Company selling out its
Reading bonds acquired when the accounts between
the two companies settled up.
At the termination of the lease, in 1858, Mr..
Gowen deposited with the NewJcrsey Central author
ties 81 100000 Of Reading first series per cent
bonds, and 81 600, 900 of second series The first
fves bought in by Barker Bros, of this city,
and 1T arranged that the New-Jersey Central
should keep the second series equivalent for
the depreciation in value of the New-Jersey Central
equipment during the lease period The company
deposited the bonds under the Reading reorganization
pan paid the assessment and received about $3.50 900
Of new first preference bonds, about 81 100000 Of
second preference, and 81 100000 of third. These
are the bonds which now being sold. 1t IS salG
BY railroad men here that the NewJesey Central
Is selling the bonds because II is pushed fo- money

noxious Colonel John O'Day. vice president Of the

day. He said i am in favor of cutting out the
long and short hau, clause and the pooling clause
because both work great injustice 10 the railroads
The action of the long and short haul clause is 10
build up great centres at the expense of Intermediate
territory The wholesale and retail principle should
be recognized in ralroadng, and we should be per
mted 10 make better rates for large shipment than
for small one, because II costs less 10 haEdlc
the large shipments. Pooling should be permitted.
because roads would then have no nducement to cut

not help merchants. The commission has the power
10 compel roads 10 make reasonable and the law
should permit 10 divide business on the basis of
these reasonable rates.

HIGH LICENaE.

High license makes good reputation for
 itself wherever 1t is tried. Striking evil
 denoe of it's efficiency is found in the statis-
 tics of the commitments in the city of Phila-
 delphia to the county prison and house of
 correction for the five months since the
 Brooks high license law began work and the
 corresponding months last year under the
 old law. In this period last year, June to
 October inclusive, there were 18, ,554 per
 sons committed to the county prison; in the
 same period this year thereawere but $, ,455,. a decrease$ of 5D99sor sixty-two per cent. The eomnaitments to the house of correction for the five months of 1887 numbered 2,6e3; for the same period this year 1898, or decrease of sixty-eight per cent. The decrease in Sunday commitments to the county prison was thirty per cent, and the decrease in the commitments of women was seventy-one per cent. It may not be just to attribute the whole of this decrease to the workings of the high license law, but 1t is altogether too great to permit of conclusion that it is not largely due to it's operation. It has not only provided the city treasury with twice the usual license revenue from less than half the ! usual number of saloons, but it has de- creased the crime and wretchsduess due to liquor considerably over fifty per cent, and ! will, therefore, incur less expense for their support and punishment.
 This is most significant record. in other parts of Pennsylvania similar showing is
 made. High license is the most effective
 check upon the liquor trafice which has yet | been found. It beats prohibition, for it not 1 only greatly reduces the number of saloons, l but adds large sums to the public funds

Parrots That statesmen Listened 1T,

From the St. Louis Republic.l
 For more than a year the members of Congress and others who make g practice of walking down Pennsylvania avenue from the Capitol were greatly interested in a celebrs~ ted parrot which used to do some remarkable talking as he sat perched in cage in front of bird store near Third street. When that bird was less than a year old he was SO apt at mimicry that its owners refused one hundred dollars for the Poll. It could sing nearly the whole of the chorus to "Pesk-a- Boo" in a splendid voice, could sing in 6 perfect manner a snatch of two from the popular song, "I'm a Dude, Dandy Dude, " and say ever 80 many things, such as "Ah, there, girlsl" Pretty girl" "He's mash er," &e Newsboys who stopped in front of the store would cry out: "Paper this even- ing!" and the parrot had been taught to say, stNet this evening, some other evening. The famous bird loved to show off, and pass day to day, and finally the owner of ths parrot got two hundred and fifty dollars for him. The Congressmen miss him. The other day a crowd of Capitol ire. quenters were discussing the merits of thif bird and regretting that he had been sold when some one wanted to KnoW 1T parrotI could really think. ''I'm positive of it, said Colonel Wiggins, the printing clerk O the House. 1T remember years ago, wher Washington was smaller place, that some boys were stealing cherries from lot neal
 where lived. A parrot which my neigh bors owned saw them and bawled out loud l ly to a colored woman in the kitchen | ''Liza, Liza. boys stealing cherries.' Yor may not believe this, but it Is fact" Colonel Wiggins didn't tell this yarn lat | at night either.

At all events, those who do expect it will likely be disappointed" One of the generals townsmen, who has had talks with him on the subject since his nomination as well as before, reports him as saying that the civil service law, wkile not perfect, is in the right direction and law to be executed. CT am convinced he will execute it faithfully" says this townsman, the secretary of the Lincoln league of Indianapolis. "I am convinced that he will permit every Democrat who has discharged his duties faithfully to remain in office to the end of his term of appointment, and all employees in the classified service will be continued the same as if they were Rspub- icans. There will be no changes for purely political reasons"

To Care for Canary Rtrds.

Canaries are the favorite song birds in this country. They have stronger and sweeter voices than any other bird except the night ingale. They are raised chiefly in Germany and Belgium, and are imported into this country in crates holding from fifty to one hundred little wicker cages. The best time of the year to raise these songsters is just now when they are inst coming over from
 Europe. In choosing good bird some time
 and care should be spent, and good dealer
 who has large variety to choose from is the
 best one to go to. You want healthy bird
 and good singer. Don't trust the dealer
 but wait and hear the bird sing yourself, and
 be satisfied that he suits you before you
 leave the store. To keep @ bird well he
 must have good cage with plenty of room.
 The perches should be half an inch in dia- meter and fixed securely in the cage, as the bird don't like them if they are at all shaky. The cage must be kept clean or the bird will soon get il, and then he won't sing at all. To clean the cage, take out tine perches and soak them in warm water, then wet them with rag. The cage should be cleaned ai least once week. Sprinkle the bottom oa

A Victim To Cocaine


 Cocaine, the latest-discovered am@sthetic, is, it seems, like it's predecessors, chloroform, chloral. and morphine, claiming it's victims. A Swiss physician tells the story of medi- cal friend of his who has suecumbed to its fatal allurements. The victim began with morphine, which he eventually exchanged for cocaine. As usual, his frss experiments were attended by increased vigor of mind and body. This, however, was soon followed by mental and nervous depression. After increased doses of the drug, he experienced halluoinetions, was compelled to walk round and round in circles, to endeavor to pick up needles whero he knew none were to be found and was at length left utterly sleeplegs and without appetite. To escape the fatal indu- enee of the drug, be gave up his practice, and went as surgeon in ship bound for the East. At length, by means of long sea voy- ages, he overcame his craving, and, was re- stored to health, only, as he knew, to fall a victim to the poison once more on finding fl
