WASHINGTON, January IA prelim-
mary report on the income and ex-
peAditures of railways for the year
ending June 80, 1892, compiled by the
statlstician to the interstate commerce
commission, will soon be made public.
The gross earnings of l28,34999 miles Of
railway are shown to hsye been $751;
026, ,159, from which the gross earnings
Of the entire railway service of the
United States are estimated to have
been 81, 22,711,69S. This is an increase
of $125,950,303 over the earnings Of the
previous year, or an increase of $608 per
mile of line. The operating expenses for
the year were $814,722,08O, being an in
crease Of $50, ,334, l89, which leav' an in
crease in net earnings OF 1916 LA, or
$2,472 per mile Of line. A comparison Of
passenger and freight service shows the
larger proportion Of increase in earnings
from operations to have come from
freight service, The actual increase in
revenue from passenger service was
S3l, ,50O,023, or $247 per mile Of line as
against an increase in the revenue from
freight service of $91, ,5O6,671 or $349 per
mile Of line.
1t is observed that the railways on
which there has accrued the largest in
crease in gross earnings per mile OF line
are the lines connecting the wheat grow
ing territory with the sssboRrd, and the
lines in the southern states bordering on
the Gulf of Mexico. It is significant,
however, that on these railways there
has been an increase in operating ex-
penses nearly equal to the increase in
gross revenue. The report shows that
the aggregate gross earnings Of sixty two
roads, each Of which enjoys an income
in excess Of $3,OO0,0OO, is $794, ,476331,
being an average increase Of Sl2,8l4,17L.
The average gross revenue per mile Of
line for all roads is $S,84O; classified
tion Of the sixty. two roads in question
shows that eight receive each an income
in excess OF $4,000 per mile of line, for
ten the income per mile Of line is be-
tween $4,000 and 10000, for thirteen
the income per mile Of line is between
$7,443 and $4,000, while the incon Q
from each Of the remainder is less tha.
81, ,443 per mile Of line.
The density Of passenger and freight
traffic is also given for the roads whose
gross revenue exceeds 100000, from
which it appears that in some parts Of
the country there has been healthy ex-
pansions Of trade during the last two
years, while in other parts the increase
in traffic Of 1892 does little more than
balance the loss OF traffic in 1891. In the
southern gulf states, Tennessee and Ken
tucky, the tonnage per mile of line was in
1880, 394,O96; in 1891, 405,9O5; in 1882,

REVOLUTION PREDICTED.
The French Are Not Thirsting for Blood
but They Want Reform.

but They Want Reform.
PARIS, January LIT is a hague but
safe prophecy that the year which was
ushered in to-day will be year of great
events in France. All Europe has been
making predictions Of what it has imme-
diately in store for the people. The
pictures which are drawn in other CAPT
tails are most Of them gloomy, London
critics, such as the Times, persist in de-
claring that it will be year of blood,
and that new reign of terror is at
hand. st. Petersburg alone seems dis
posed to take hopeful view OF the out
look for Russia's republican ally
The events of the last few days, while
in some respects ominous, do not shake
the confidence expressed in this corre-
spondence week ago, that the crisis is
at least postponed. The public passion
is cooling down little Cor as tCTime be-
ing, and the popular mind is in more
analytical mood. There is no tendency
toward indifference or condemnation Of
the great public crime, and the penalties
which the peoples verdict will inlict
will not be severe because delayed. The
great danger lies in the fact that the
utmost advantage will be taken of the
national scandal by the enemies of the
republic.
This weeks events furnish the grsvest
evidence of the existence of q carefully
prepared campaign against the present
form of government. The propaganda OF
revolution has been introduced this week
in every province and every village in
France. The methods are the same
everywhere. 1t is impossible to explain
the reports which come in from the
whole country by any arguments OF
natural coincidence. The monarchists,
the reactionists, the Boulangists, the
socialists have everywhere joined hands.
They preach reYolution almost openly.
They would tear down the government,
or the people in power, which is the same
thing in the eyes of the masses. "Drive
out this government of thieves" is the
war cry which the promoters OF revolu-,
ton are putting into the mouths of the
people. Everywhere save in Paris itself,
has this work been going on for the past
week. Z
A different policy has apparently beer
designed for the capital. Sedition is not
openly preached here, except in a few
newspapers. The work in Paris is being
done in the socialist and other organizaC Z
tions of the workingmen. There is difu
position in many places on the part oC
the votaries of revolt to openly take tBla
name of revolutionists. Such language,

Harrmann,s Lnts., Trick.

Here is a description OF Magician
Herrmaun's latest marvel. He has two
large cages made OF wood and mounted
in brass. A convict is put into one OF
them and curtains are drawn. While
Hermann is talking about the trick
the convict appears at the back Of the
house, runs down the middle aisle and
goes upon the stage.
"What are you doing here?" asks the
magician; ''you ought to be in the
cage?"
"But 1 am not in the cage" replies
the convict.
Then who is in the csge?" says Mr..
Hermann.
1.-THE keeper" says the convict.
The curtains are raised, and there is
the keeper sure enough. Then the
convict is put into the second cage, the
first cage is lifted off the ground by
pulleys, the curtains of both are closed
and then opened again and the convict
Is back in the first cage. The trick is a
COED deal like Mr.. Herruann's former
"Chinese Immigration Mystery" and is
probably done in the same way, what
ever that way is, but it is prettier and
better than the older illusion.

A new and extravagant fancy Is for
chiffon bodices, and they are exceed
ingly pretty, especially when accordion
! plated. Black, white, or any delicate
color may be used plain or with a trim
ming Of lace insertion put on in stripes,
and also in the form Of a yoke. These
waists are usually worn with handsome
silk or g~renadlne skirts.
P~assementrie trimmings never were
more magnificent than they are now,
and there never was a time when the
success of q dress depended more on the
trimming. Collar and belt pieces are
deliberately Ornamented with jet, color
ed beads and silk embroidery. Nets
are covered with sDangles, black with
iect or gold, and white with silver or
gold, and these often take the form OF
some floral design. Beside the great
variety Of bead trimmings, there is a
silken embroidery embracing all the
daintiest shades OF cream, mauve, yell
low, green, and blue, literally threaded
with gold.
Shot MORE antique silks are the
latest
A favorite combination Of color for
evening dresses is white and bright or
ange yellow, the soft, rich tone Of a ripe
nectarine.
After the unsuccessful attempt to har-
moniOusly blend all the cOl0rs OF a gor-
geous parrot in one gown, it is a relief
to find that the stylish combinations OF
black and white or black end cream are
popular again.
Black roses are novelties In millinery.
Summer shoes are especially light and
flexible, with high insteps, long vamps,
and pointed toes, necesSitating q size
longer than is usually worn. Satin
slippers are used for dancing, and
bronze and black kid slippers are made
more dressy by narrow crossed straps
over the instep, beaded with jet or geld.
Browns are the popular shades for ten
mis- shoes, while white and navy blue
canvas ties, with kid trimmings, are to
be found in great variety. White KID
and tan and gray suedes are dressy
shoes for indoor wear.
The newest handles for sun shades
break forth into blossoms OF various
kinds. One will have violets, anoGher
blush roses, or perhaps buttercups.
The flowers are made OF some sub
stance, which gives them frmness and
a natural effect.
Wings in the ~brillisnts are still fash
ionabls for the hair, while pins mount
ed in Japanese fashion with enamels,
briliants aud cOlored gems are an ex-
penslye novelty just making their APP
%pearance.
Crinoline seems to have been and idle
threat. and all fear of this monstrosity
becoming popular is apparently at an
end; even the full skirt is modified and
It's stifTening reduced.
A patent corset, which is combined
with a deep belt round the hips, is as
becoming to the figure as it is comfort
able to wear. The belt can be worn
with any corset, and still not push up
at the sides.
Gloves have an isSesistible fascination
for every woman who is at all fastidious
or cares TO bestoW q reasonable amount
of thought on the detail Of good dress
ing; and every within can be gratihed
this season, for there Is great variety
In styles, while all the delicate colors
that are wrought into the summer
fabrics can be matched in gloves. Light
gray, with broad black stitching, is
very fashionable.

Brench of Promise ease.

1t was a case of phenomenal interest,
and everybody was ready to have a flu
ger in the pie.
First, there was the engagement.
Hank Stevens, good-loOking and rich, a
dry goods merchant and a middle-aged
bachelor. Almira Smith, a little clerk
ess in the post office. "What luck!"
the girls all said. when they saw her
riding behind Hanks team Of prize
bays. And the little thing folded her
hands ond tried to be happy.
For it wasn't all plain sailing. She
had struck a snag early in the voyage
Of love. Almira didn't love Hank one
little bit, and she did love somebody
else. She was marrying him to help
her family out Of the usual financial
difficulties.
She had about made up her mind that
she couldn't marry Hank after all, and
wondering how she would be able to
tell him, and break his heart, when he
threw himself on her mercy, and said
he didn't love her, and would be doing
an awful wrong to marry her, and Of
fersd to settle a breach Of promise case
without judge or jury, by paying her
$40, 900 damages to her affections in spot
cash.
Almira was so surprised at this carry
ing of the war into the enemy's camp
that she nearly tainted.
Poor girl, how she loves me, thought
Hank.
"Ten thousand dollars isn't to be
sneezed at" thought Almira, but she
looked sad and distressed, as II it were
a cheap plaster for a broken heart.
But she accepted sure, and even said
co%nfidentially to Hank:
"I'l spend it all in your store, so you
will get il all back again."
And she did. She bought her trous-
seau there when she married the other
fellow.

Catholic Law women OF America.

Another national organization OF
women has been formed. 1t is and is
tQaAa composed Of the Catholic lay
I<sonNl of America, and Is an %outgrowth
lOf the Catholic day at the WOnan's Con-
gress In Chicago. Mrs. Alice I. TOomy
Of San Francisco was the One who ar
ranged that day. She and other CathO-
lie women present became convinced
that some organization was necessary
by which they could work within the
lines OF their own church.
A meeting was held after the close Of
the Congress, and Columbus Hall was
so crowded that an adjacent room mad
70 be thrown open. Mrs. TOOmy ex-
planned the object OF the meeting, and
enumerated the following lines OF work
demanding the attention OF Catholic
m Temperance, the relief OF the
poor, the establishment Of day nurser-
les and klndergartens in connection
with parochial schools, homes and clubs
for working girls, protective agencies,
free employment bureaus, and the APP
pointment Of police matrOns.
Mrs. ToOmy made a special plea for
unison, She declared that fancied So
clal differences and the fear Of criticism
had been serious drawbacks 70 the work
attempted by Catholic women. In the
discussion which followed Mrs. ToOmy's
plan was endorsed and other sugges-
lions made. Mrs. Bean, OF San Fran
cisco, asserted that Catholic women
would give their money, their clothes,
anything but would not cona out Of
their houses and visit the poor. Il was
also urged that an educational circle
Ike the ChautauQuan be established.
Faily 100 women, from 81 parts OF
