TO THE STOCKHOLDERS
 OF THE ATcHIsoN, TOPEKA,
 SANTA FE RAILROAD COMPANY

In April last, we asked you to intrust to us your proxies, to be used at the annual meeting of the company in May. This rs- suited in change of management, the intro duction of reforms and economies, and a financial reorganization of the company that has met general approval.
 During the progress of this reorganization 1t has been frequently suggested in the public press and by numerous and large holders of the company's securities that it would give greater stability to the reorgan- ized company if a management committed to tho successful working out of the plan of reorganization, and absolutely in the interest of the property, could be secured for several years.
 Consulting our own inclination and conve. nlence, we would prefer to leave the man agement of thiA great property to others {; but we recognize the force of the suggestion and the necessity for some such arrange ment, and, as many shareholders believe that great advantages are likely to result to the holders of all classes of the company's se. curities from such cooperation, we have consented to act in the matter.
 Holders of Stock of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad Company may deliver their certificates, assigned upon the back in favor of George c. Magoun, Thomas Barring, Oliver ". Peabody and John J. McCook, to the BOSTON SAFE DEPOSIT AND TRUST COMPANY, s7 Milk Street, Boston, subject to an agreement that the title to such Stock and the voting power thereon shall be vested in our nominees or their successors, also to be named by us, for ten years, or until July 1, 1900.
 The Trust Company will issue Stock Trust Certificates, entitling the holder to all the beneficial interest and advantages belonging to or growing out of the deposited shares and to the return of like number of shares when the term of the trust has expired, unless the same shall be further extended by the respective parties in interest.
 Application will be made to have the Trust Certificates above referred to listed upon the New York, Boston and London Stock Exchanges.

Nathan, proving she had not forgotten.

The First Chinese Railway.

The first railway in China was con-
structed by the shrewd and progressive
Prince Lin Ming Chuan as miniature
affair. carrying the people on a circle
of two or three miles for small sum
in order to familiarize them with the
snorting monster. This being accom-
plished, road is now laid of about
seventy-fve miles, on which the Vice
roy makes tours without exciting the
prejudices of the natives. The rail-
way is coming" is the prophecy of q
high official at Pekin. 1t is the only
way to meet the pressure of outside
nations. But what is most interesting
is the result in the way of unifying the
dialects spoken in China There are
now not less than three hundred dia-
lects. and they differ as much as French
from German. There are also five diff
ferent weights, or scales of weights. and

time whatever exists. foreign clocks
are sometimes found. The first step is
to facilitate intercourse. in order to

Successful Understanding.

I. A. Stanley related at a meeting of
the Connecticut Board of Agriculture,
an experiment performed on a piece of
land which ne obtained for 800 an acre.
1t was plowed, manured and sowed to
corn fodder. 1t received the usual cul-
tivation. but the moist soil prevented
the work from being done in the best
manner. There was not half crop,
hardly enough to pay for the labor. 1t lay
idle one season. and was underdrained.
1t was sown last year to ensilage corn.
The draining had already done much
good, that although naturally wet, this
land could already be worked much
sooner after a rain than any other part
of the farm. high or low. 'At har-
vest" said Mr.. Stanley. ''such a field
of corn l never saw. Evenly through
out the whole field planted with corn
fodder. When it reached maturity. all
the corn was foot higher over and
near the drain than in the west of the
field. Mr.. S. says that draining has
more than paid ten per cent on the
sum it has cost Our own experiments
have told better story. OF the many
miles OF tile-draining which we have
laid, the whole cost has been paid with
in three years by the increase of crops,
to say nothing of the increased value
