A sICNIFICANV MOVE.

A SIGNIFICANT MOVE. Some very queer railroad management is cropping out nowadays. One of the latest developments in this line is in connection with the Mexican Central railroad company The holders of the first mortgage bonds of this road were originally induced to sub scribe by promise of per cent. interest Later on the company found it impossible to meet these payments, and, rather than force the corporation into the hands of receiver, the bondholders agreed to reduce the rate of interest on their bonds to per cent. per annum. Now the company pro- poses another change, which, in the opinion of not few of the bondholders, is greatly to their disadvantage. A circular has been issued which says: The financial parties upon whose contract the circular is based have agreed to an extension of time until March 4, 1889. as follows: Parties desiring to receive the full terms of the circular must deposit their bonds with the Boston Safe Deposit and Trust company in Boston, or Messrs. dlynn, Mills, Currie & Co.,, bankers, in London, on or before March 4, 1889, and bonds can be deposited after that date only upon such terms, less favorable to holders, as may be determined and announced here after"
 It has already been pretty we'll settled that stockholders in 8 railroad have no rights and no security, but it has been supposed that it was different with first mortgage bondhold- CTS The Boston Herald thus comments up on the circular: We should say that cir- culsr such as that which the president of the Mexican Central road has sent out was not in the least calculated to encourage the slow growth of public confidence, for it shows that, in the opinion of certain railroad managers, not only has the stockholder, who expects to take risks, no rights deserving of consideration, but even the holders of first mortgage bonds, those fortunate individuals who are commonly supposed to be masters ot the position, are, in fact, but tools in the hands of the directors of a railroad com- pany. Instead of being first lien upon the property of the company and it's earn ings, mortgage bonds would seem to have no standing but that which the managers of the company chose to give to them. If this is the way in which first mortgage bondholders can be treated, is it at all strange that the investing public is disinclined to purchase railroad shsresa Indeed, if the methods of the Mexican Central railroad are but fore- runners of what other railroad corporations may soon resort to, even the mortgage bonds of these companies will before long lose considerable part of the popular reputation they now possess.
 A little common, or uncommon, honesty is as much needed in railroad management nowadays ss anything

cATARRH TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh it's destructive force stands to and
 undoubtedly leads on to consumption. It is
 therefore singular that those afflicted with this
 fearful disease should not make it the object of
 their lives to rid themselves of it. Deceptive
 dies concocted by ignorant pretenders to medical knowledge have weakened the confidence of ths
 great majority of sufferers in all advertised reme dies They become resigned to life of misery
 rather than torture themselves with doubtful pallf atives.
 But this will never do. Catarrh must be met at every stage and combated with all our might. In many cases the disease has assumed dangerous symptoms. The bones and cartilage of the nose, the organs of hearing of seeing and of tasting so affected as to be useless, the uvula elongated,
 the throat unframed and irritated to produce constant and distressing cough.
 Sanford's Radical Cure meets every phase of Ca tarrh from a simple head cold to the most loath- some and destructive stages. It is local and const- l tutional. Instant in relieving, permanent in cur | ing safe economical and never-failing Each package contains one bottle of the Radical Cure, one box Catarrhal Solvent and an Improved Inhaler, with treatise, price $t-.

Still in hurry. Improvements are now under way on the division of the Pennsylva- mia railroad between New York and Phila- delphia that give promise of higher speeds than have been attainable heretofore. When these are completed it is expected that one or two trains each day will cover the distance Lightweight miles-at the rate of mile a minute, reducing the time from two hours to one hour and half.
 Helen Campbell, in discussing French man. ners and women, says: To one who deals di- rectly with the mass of women workers in Paris it is very soon plain that no nation of Europe approaches the French in careful economy and the knowledge of how to ex- tract the utmost from every eentime of in- come. But this capacity, intensified by long generations of experiment, has resulted in bringing wages to a "subsistenee point" A bill providing for tax on oil leases which has just been introduced in the Penn among the farmers, although it is alleged to have been gotten up for their special benefit The grangers thought it would be fine to have the producers practically pay their taxes, but when they learned that the passage of such [ bill would put an end to wildcat leasing l thua cutting off considerable ot the bonu, | the farmer now receives on all leases, they concluded it wasn't such good thing aftel all.

INGENUITY'S GAINS.

What Small Inventions Have Done
In Making Fortunes.
From The Inventor.
The rubber tip at the end of lead
pencils has yielded 100000 in Eng
land. A large fortune has been reap
ed by a miner who invented a metal
rivet or eyelet at each end of the
mouth of coat or trOuser pockets to
resist the strain caused by the
carriage of pieces OF ore or
heavy tools. In recent legal
action it transplred in the evil
dence that the inventor of the metal
plates used to protect soles and heels
from wear sold upward of 10000, 900
plates in 1879 and in 1887 the number
reached l43, OOO, 900, producing realized
profits of 81 100000.
AS large a sum as was ever obtained
for any invention was enjoyed by the
inventor of the inverted glass bell to
hang over gas to protect ceilings from
being black ened, and scarcely less
lucrative patent was that for simply
putting emery powder on cloth. FIRE.
quently time and circumstances
are wanted before an invention
is appreciated, but it will be
seen that patience is well re-
warded, for the inventor of
the roller skate made over 81 900, 900,
Notwithstanding the fact that his pat
ent had nearly expired before its
value was ascertained. The gimlet-
pointed screw has produced more
wealth than most silver mines, and
the American who first thought of
putting copper tips to children's
shoes is as well off as if his father
had LETT him 100000 in United
States bonds. Upwards of $4,000
year was made by the inventor of the
common needle threader. To the
foregoing might be added thousands
of trifiing but useful articles from
or for which large sums have been
paid.
Few inventions pay better than
popular patented toys. A clergy
man realized $4,000 week by the in
venticn of a strange little plaything
to be seen for a long time in every
toyshop window, and even in the
streets of London. That favorite
American toy, the "return ball"-a
wooden ball with an elastic attached
yielded the patentee an income
equal to $4,000 a year, and an in
come of no less than $75, 200 per an
mum to the inventor of the dancing
Jim Crow" The inven ton of "Pha.
raoh's serpents," a toy much in
vogue some years ago, was
the outcome of some chemical
experiments, and brought the in
ventor more than $50, 900. The sale Of
the little wooden figure, John Gill
pin," was incredibly large for many
years, and very ingenious toy,
known as the "Wheel of Life" is said
to have produced upward of 100000
profit to its inventor. One of the most
successful OF modern toys has been
the chameleon top" the sale of
which has been enormous. The field
of invention is not only vast and var
led, but it is open to everybody with
out respect or favor of any kind to sex
or age, station or means. The merest
trifie may be the key to fortune, if it
be an article that the public actually
wants in great numbers.
