HOW MR.. MORSE STARTED TO WEALTH.
Hartford Post

Congressman Elijah Morse, of Massachu-
sets, better known as 'StOve Polish" Morse,
is the fadstidiOus statesman who wants to put
a stop to the cigar smoking in the hall of the
house OF representatives Mr. Morse is prob
ably the only man in congress who got rich
through his fastidiousness. Years ago Mr..
Morse started out from South Bend, Ind,
selling stove polish on the road. His travels
finally took him to Oshkosh, Wis. The future
statesman's profit on his sales did not average
more than 81 day, and of course, he couldn't
afford to stop at the best hotels. He registered
his name at little hotel and was told he
would have to sleep with another guest. Mr..
Morse did not like this, but there was no help
for it, and he went to bed. After crawling
under the cOverlets he made an unpleasant
discovery. His bedfelloW had come in from
the streets, where the mud was ankle deep
and retired with his jag ard his boots on.
That settles it," said Mr.. Morse to himself.

but to sleep with man with his boots on is
more than | can stand. Pm going to quit the
road and go into manufacturing stove polish

rich aud came TO congress. All this good luck
dates back to the man Of Oshkosh In bed with
his boots on. This story is true because Mr..
Morse told ii himself

Fictitious street Railway Capitalize
fion.

tlOht
The Committee on Railways of the New
York Legislature is unearthing some very
valuable information in regard to the
fictitious character Of street railway cap
italization in New York City, and pre-
sumably, in many other cities. Eli Il.
Landon, the Secretary Of the Dry Dock,
East Broadway, and Battery Railway
Company testified that his road, twenty
eight miles long, has a capital stock of
81 200, 900, and bonded debt of 5000,
900. In other words, these two itoms rep
resent capitalization Of S75, 900 a mile,
or three times the cost Of constructing the
Great Northern across the prairies and the
Rocky Mountains. But this is not all.
In 1854 certificates Of Indebtedness
amounting to $l,2OOOOO, were issued.
This debt was created by division OF the
surplus and other expenses When Ar
thur c. Wade, counsel 10 the committee,
asked why the certificates of Indebtedness
were issued If there was a surplus, MIR.
Landon said, u don't know" In 1894
the corporation paid six per cent. ON its
stock and Ave per cent ON It's certificates
OF indebtedness. These certificates OF in
debtedness" are yearly reported TO the
Railroad Commission as o part of the
cost of the road. OF a similar character
was the testimony Of NJ. J. Mason the

SCARCITY OF PENNIES.

There are 100000, 900 one cent pieces out
standing at the present time, but the number
is being rapidly increased by the Philadelphia
mint For the last two months three presses
have been constantly in operation for the ex'
elusive coinage Of one cent pieces. The daily
output has been 100000 pieces Since last
August there has been an exceedingly heavy
demand for One-cent pieces. Treasury Off.
cials in Washington attribute it to the grow
ing custom in dry goods establishments and
other business houses Of marking down prices
from round figures, which practice naturally
requires good supply Of pennies for making
change.
