--"Altruism" is derived from the
Latin by process similar TO that used
In the word egotism. Its meaning is
exactly the opposite of the latter, how
ever, for the altruist is supposed to
prefer the welfare of his neighbor to
his own. The word was first employed
in Its present sense by Comte, the
French philosopher.

THE SALAClA.
The New Boat VIII Go on tho Route
Monday.

The new steamer Salaeia, which will
run between Portland and Boothbay,
stopping at Popham and Squirrel Island,
had trial trip at Bath Tuesday night
She delighted her builders. She proved
herself fifteen mile an hour boat an d
showed excellent sea going quantities.
The steamer is especially designed for
outside service and her broad saloon deck
has space between the cabin wall and
the rail SO wide that passengers can range
themselves in steamer chairs on the lee
ward side of the boat and yet leave room
enough for people to pass them by with
out necessitating movement The big
saloon is exceedingly roomy and, as there
are no staterooms along the sides, is very
pleasant, the large windows giving a
free view to either side. The steamer is
fitted with a water tube boiler, by which
steam can be raised in fifteen minutes
and is delivered to the engine at 215
pound pressure. The vessel was designed
by Charles e. Hyde and measures:
Length, 1909. breadth 262. depth 10,
gross tonnage 1872. 40, deductions, 1853. 81,
net tonnage 1853. 70, indicated horse power
$50
The Salaeia will be put on the route
next Monday, leaving Portland daily at
Z. 80 a. M, Popham at $50, Squirrel
Island at TO- Is and reaching Boot hay
Harbor at TO- 49, She will start on her
return trip at 2 O'Clock and reach Port
land at about O'Clock, Once week on
Saturday, the boat will make trip to

Encouraging Reports Of Earnings Of
Railways.
SHARP DECLINE IN CHICAGO GAS
Increase in Loans Shown by the
Bark Statement.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to Til, EveIing Star.
NEW YORK, June 15.-Speculation in
railway shares dwindled to small proper
tions this morning as the result of mark
ed preference for the more prominent spe-
cialties. The general tone of the market
was strong, however. and fractional gains
were recorded in a majority Of instances.
Optimism continues to dominate the course
of prices, and a higher level of values is
expected during the coming week. The
various reports of earnings submitted dur
ing the week have, in the main, been en-
couraging and will, in all probability, i'm
prove from now on. The activity noticed
in manufacturing and commercial centers
indicates the correctness and stability Of
the present movement and is destined to
exert a more general influence for good
as results become more apparent.
Conservative operators estimate the pro-
portion of good and bad in the situation at
about to l in favor of the former, and
are trading on that basis
The effect of the dissolution of the gov
ernment bond syndicate next fall is at
present an unknown quantity. but the gen.
eral conclusion is that February's emer-
gency is not likely to be duplicated during
the last quarter of the year. The strength
of foreign exchange serves to keep this
subject prominently before the public, but
there is some hope of easier rates before
the summer is over, in which event conf
dence will be restored on this point.
The failure of the attempt to pass the
consolidation bill over the governors veto
in the Illinois legislature yesterday after
noon was the motive for a sharp break of
. per cent in the price of Chicago Gas at
the opening this morning.
At the decline friends of the company
came in as liberal purchasers, and the
be st prices of the day were restored.
Tennessee Coal and Iron opened up frac-
tionally and after wavering slightly around
s3 was advanced on good buying for a net
advance of is per cent. The recent ex-
.enSei advance in this property would ordi-
rarily warrant a reaction, but at no time
during the movement was confidence more
pronounced than at the close of business
today.
Consolidated Gas sold down per cent on
realizing sales, but rallied slightly toward
the close on a few purchases.
Sugar was strong around last nights clos
ing figures. and closed without any change
in price. Such action on the part of this
property usually precedes period of un-
usual activity and extended f1uctuation.
The bank statement reflects loss in
specie on account of last weeks payments
to the subtreaSury in behalf of the bond
syndicate. The loss in that item, however,
is practically Offset by the gain in legals,
so that the net loss in cash holdings is only
about one million. The increase in loans is
the most encouraging feature of the report,
a detailed statement of which follows:
Reserve decreased sl,709,O0. loans in
creased S4,4S1,90N, specie decreased s4,514.-
500. legals increased Ss,510. 800. deposits in
creased S2,S19.20O, and circulation increased
$4,000.
