RAILROAD INTERESTS.
THE p. e. o. PRESIDENCY.

General Louis Fitzgerald, president Of the Mer-
camille Trust Company of New-York. is spoken
of as a possible successor to Charles f. Mayer as
president OF the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. In
railroad circles it is believed that the selection of
General Fitzgerald would be followed by the estab-
lishment Of close relations between the Baltimore
and Ohio and the Gould roads. General Fitzgerald
is actively identified with the Gould interests. He
is a director in most of the Gould companies. lie
was however, made director of the Baltimore and
Ohio particularly as the representative of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society. which is a large
owner Of the bonds Of the company
For Years the Gouds have desired line or
connection to New-York. Several times IN the past
II has been reported that the Gouds were in nego-
tiation for the control of the Baltimore and Ohio,
which would be afforded by the possession of the
stock held by the Garrett estate.
The great need of the Baltimore and Ohio at pres
ent is an able financial manager. General Fitz-
gerald is a financier Of high reputation.

THE DUTY on TEA.
INCREASING 1T WOULD GIVE HIGHER QUALITY
THAT WOULD GO FURTHER.


THAT WOULD GO FURTHER.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial article Monday. in relation to
duty on tea and coffee, prompts me to give you a
few facts about tea, hch are. perhaps not known
to those not directly connected with the trade,
but which none the less true.
When you realize the present condition OF the
tea business you will see how the duty on tea will
now protect the consumer from the abuses OF late
years and enable him TO get more for his money
than before. The consumers and dealers throughout
the country look on this matter very differently
from the way they did few years ago, as they
realize that this country, since the duty was re-
moved, has become the dumping ground for the
poor stuff that other countries would not use. The
duty would not cost the consumer anything, for
part of IL would be borne by the foreign producer
who has been better paid for his work in raising
tea than any Of our farmers for their produce
and partly by the retail dealers and tea stores who
have charged the consumer too high a price for
too poor an article but who now realizing this
as they find their business running behind, and
would gladly welcome change that would enable
them 10 sell and better tea at a less profit
per pound. The consumer would get so much better
tea that pound Of it would last twice as long as
"a pound that they buy now, thus making their
money 90 further for there is other article of
sumption in which the difference between good and
bad is as great it is In tea Good tea is health
full and delicious beverage. while poor tea is UNI
healthy and unpalatable
Your figures of consumption are correct. and IL
duty of Is cents per pound existed. and my reason
ing was all wrong that the consumer would pay
the entire duty, 1t would amount to less than two
cents per week for whole family. for which they
would get purer tea, and what would last much
longer that they would save money, instead OF
spending more One pound OF good tea will make
about 200 cups which, at about 80 cents per pound
makes a cup of tea cost about one-quarter of a
cent
The above facts in regard to the economy Of using
better teatea that is all tea leaves and not adulter
ta1 n1nta ref IA n X
fast Table Theory applied TO tea at this time
When had a duty on tea before we used good
tea and will when get Ii again Russia, with
n very heavy duty, gets the best tea produced. Eng
land has duty Of cents per pound on tea, and the
consumption there is 1--WE and one-half pounds per
capita while here it Is less than and onc-half
pounds per capita. This Is owing to the poor tea
that get. Many prominent men in the trade
will indorse these statements.

nasonic Social

One of the most notable occurrences
known TO Masonry in this state occurred
in Lexington lodge, No. 104, Ell Monte,
last Saturday evening, the event being
the comforting of the third degree of
Masonry on three brothers, G. B., f. j.
and William Dodson, two of whom were
the sones of Hon. W. K. Dodson of that
place. Long before the appointed hour
tally-hos arrived from the neighboring
towns, including Monrovia. Pomona, Los
Angeles and Compton, bringing with
them jolly crowds.
After the conferrng OF the degree the
lodge marched in a body to the hotel of
Mr.. Dodson and were ushered into the
banquet room, which had been very pref
tily decorated with roses and hydrangea,
smilax and palms for the occasion. Many
toasts were given and the best wishes of
all extended to the three young Canad-
ians. The balance of the evening was
spent IN social enjoyment, after which
the guests departed. The menu was an
elaborate one.
