American Railroad Securities In Bad Odor

American Railroad Securities In Bad Odor
 in Europe.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Frank H. Mason, URited States consul-general at Frankfort, in special report to the state department states that American railway securities have fallen into bad odor in Germany and endeavors to point out the reasons therefor and suggest meas ures for rehabilitating them in the financial world. He says that in Frankfort, which was the first European money market to accept United States bonds during the dark days of the civil war and where Ameri- can investments had been popular, not only are new securities refused because of American origin, but railroad bonds and stocks had for years been returned to America and their proceeds invest ed in less remunerative Prussian con- sols and other standard securities backed by government credit and supervision.
 The consul-general says: "The cloud which overshadows American railway securities in Germany has been caused mainly by the revelations of the past two years concerning the management of several leading railway properties. German investors were heavy losers and their losses served to call the at tention of the people and press more sharply than ever before to the usurpa- tions of power and evasions of respon- sibility which, it is claimed, have be- come so frequent in American railway management"

 WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-The annual report of R. A. Maxwell, fourth assist ant postmaster-general, has been sub mitted to the postmaster-general. There are three divisions under his charge appointments, bonds and com missions and post office inspectors and mail depredations. The report covers the period for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1894. The total number of post offices in opera tion in the United States on that date was 60, s05. Of these 66, ,377 were fourth-class offices and 3,42s presi- dential; the net increase over the pre- vious year being 1,402. During the year 8, l36 post offices were established and 1,734 discontinued. The total num- Der of appointments during the year was 23, and the total number of cases acted on 27,560, of which S,966 were in cases of removals. The em, ployes in the postal service handled 15,050,554 pieces of domestic registered mail during the year with the incon- siderable loss of 1 per cent. in every ITS.
 Gen. Maxwell, in his report, empha- sizes the necessity that the public should report every depred ation upon the mails whether it relates to regis tered or ordinary matter and guarantees for every complaint received the ear nest attention of the department.

 "Of course, Grace, expect my course tc be literally criticised; but haven't decided upon it without long and anx- ious thought, and believe am right. You surely won't blame me for doing what think is right, will you?" Helen smiled bravely, but there was per ceptible quiver of her lip which gave token that, brave as she was, the tears were not far back of the smile.
 "Oh, if you put it on the plea of right, l know it is useless to say word, as my experience in sundry in- stances has taught me; but do, like a dear, sensible girl, tell me what is the reason you propose putting yourself in such menial position when 1t is not necessary" and Grace's arm went around her friend in such an embrace as young, impulsive women bestow so naturally on those they love.
 Thank you, dear" replied Helen, quietly, as she clasped her friends hand closely. 'I chose to place my self in what you call such menial position because 1 have become con- vinced that I am totally unfit for any other. Hush!" she added. quickly, laying her hand on Grace's mouth as she was about to make an indignant protest 'I know what you would say-that am well-educated in ad- dition to being we'll raised, and pos sess an average supply of what are usually dubbed accomplishments. All very true; but I lack the essential quality which my present position de- mands-the capacity to impart in- struction. Two years experience as a teacher, during which I have tried most faithfully to do my duty, has con vinced me that the teacher Is born, not made; and, unfortunately, l was not born one. Honestly, Grace, I am frequently at a loss to explain to my class the simplest problem in way that they can understand. My work Is all mechanical, and I think the school room is the last place for that sort of work. have realized this de- feet in myself from the start, hut kept hoping it would be remedied by experience; but 1t has not been-at least not enough so to justify me in making teaching my lifework, so am going to give it up and try something which l really know how to do well. ["
 But, Helen," interposed Grace, "why not try some other line of do- nestle service, if you really feel that you ought not to continue teaching? There are so many avenues open to women now, that surely you can find some more congenial employment"
 q have thought of all that, for am not insensible to the fact that my friends will think am lowering my self very much; but l have gone over in my mind the various employments open to women, and either I do not suit the work, or the work don't suit me, or there is no chance for me to se- cure a position.
