Emperor William frequently goes about
his capital in disguise mixing incognito
with all classes of his subjects In the
guise of a sailor, he passed day and
night in visiting the saloons frequented
by sailors and common soldiers, discuss
ing with ths men whom he met the hard
ships and difficulties of their lot. He
listened attentively to their stories and
asked numbers of questions. He did not
close his investigation until late at night
in low saloon he found himself among
company of drunken sailors who insist
ed on his dancing with them. His
majesty drew the line at this and abrupt-
~ quilted the place, guarded by couple
of men who until that moment had ap-
peared to be his half-intoxicated compan-
ions.

FINANCIAL.

We have bought s633,O00 Maine
Central Consol. as, due 1912, and
offers the holders Of Leeds and Far
mington 6's, the opportunity to ex-
change the same for the former on
the following favorable terms.
On or before Nov. 18th, 1895, we
will deliver Maine Central Consol. As
at par, and prepay the interest due
April LIST, 1896, at 4 per cent per an
mum for the unexpired time, receiv-
ing in exchange an equal number of
Leeds and Harrington bonds, allow
ing par and 6 per cent accrued in
terest to date Of exchange.
The above is equivalent to selling
the Leeds & Pennington bonds on a
8 7-8 per cent interest basis, and OBJ
tanning the long consolidated As at
par, by using the premium obtained
on the former in purchasing the As.
We beg to call attention to the
fact that these 4 per cent bonds are
row practically a first mortgage on
the road, as there will be only ST.
$4,000 outstanding when the
Leeds & Pennington are converted
out Of total of $9,O00,000, to take
the place of prior lien bonds; in five
years this balance will have been re-
tired and the consolidated mortgage
become first lien.
The saving in the interest charges
in the next few years is approxi-
mately $4,000; this is in addition to
amount saved in 1894 of $4,000,
making total of nearly 100000 or
2 per cent on the stock; increasing
the present net earnings to over
100000 or 10 per cent. on the CAPT
tai; 6 per cent. is now paid, the bal
ance going to surplus und improve
ments.
+ We recommend the proposed ex-
change at this time, the holders
thereby obtaining long, choice Sc
curity at moderate cost.
The As not exchanged, as above,
will be offered to the public at an
advanced price.

The Massachusetts Central Labor
Union opposes biennial elections and will
do it's best to defeat the proposed constitu-
tional amendment. 1t holds that fire.
guent elections are the safeguards of the
people, and that the movement for a
change emanates from the plutocrats and
the corporations. A good deal can be
said in favor of this position of the
laboring men. Frequent elections are no
doubt valuable safeguards. but elections
will not be very infrequent in Massa-
chusetts, even if the state election drops

without knowing in any degree what they
mean, or what responsibilities and trials
thew bring. The highest and best thing
that any woman can do is to bear and rear
healthy, intelligent children. The accom-
plishment of this end depends almost en-
tirely upon her health and particularly
upon the health and strength of the organs
dren, both intellectual and physical de-
ponds on the mother. If she doesn't care
enough for her own comfort and happiness
to take the proper care of herself, she GER
tainIy ought to do itHor the sake of her
children To very large extent, the des-
tiny and achievement of a man is decided
in the months before his birth. During
that time is determined whether or not he
is to be of robust health and strong intel
Iect. During that time, his mind and body
are started on the path that they will follow
through life Circumstances may inhu-
ence him, but he cannot get away from the
effects of pre- natal influences. One of the
principal uses of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription is the preparation of prospective
mothers for the time of trla! and danger
that comes when a child is born. The " Pre-
scriptionn is strengthening and invigorating
and lessons pain and danger. Itinsures the
perfect we'll being and the perfect health
Of both mother and child. Every woman
should know these things before she really
needs to know them There are many
things in Dr. Pierce's Common Sense

I think myself that it is high time the
constitution under which the people of
Virginia have been living for nearly thirty
years, commonly known as the Underwood
constitution, adopted as you may say I'M
der stress, could be changed for one more
in harmony with the ideas and feelings of
our people. The idea of the cost of con-
vention, has been one thing, [ suppose
that has deferred the people from demand
ing change long since. Now that the
burdens are such that relief from some
sou rec is absolutely demanded, the people
/, are beginning to look around them and
they have concluded that many things in
State and county affairs might be changed
for the better. At least they mean to
make the effort. IT at first they don't sue
coed, they will try again. That is the way
it looks now.
