So 00G 600 Surplus.
NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The Herald to-
day says: The stockholders of the
American Tobacco company are very
anxious for an explanation from the
directors of what has become of the
big surplus of more than $S,000,000 and
the apparently sudden contraction Of
earnings which led the management to
pass the next quarterly dividend on
the common stock, although the vague
statement given out on Saturday dis
tinctly stated that there would be a
surplus of $1,25O,OOO, or nearly per
cent, after paying the dividend on the
prekerred stock. 4 reporter called ON
Treasurer George Arents, but re-
fused TO be interviewed.
Mr. Arents is a member of the eX-
change and he is reported to have said
that the February dividend on the
corsnnon stock of the American Tobac-
accompany would be paid, and many
ers advised their clients Of the
fact But now that tine management
has announces several weeks before
the regular time that 10 such dividend
would be paid the chief concern of the
stockholders is to find out what is the
matter with the company that so many
stockholders should try to get out of
it at once. The Investigating commit
tee which is to be organized by Messrs
Rolston and Bass and J. S. Bache &
Co, at an early meeting of the stock
holders is determined to sift Things to
the bottom and find ~out whether this
great company, with $4,000 600 OF cap
ltal, is being run in the interest of
spectators. who sold out all their hold
ings at high prices and then went
short of the stock. or whether the man
ayers have allowed the revenues of
the company to be wiped out by war
fare with competitors.

AN INTERVENTION.
The Injunction Proceedings Sf the
Southern Pacific.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9.-The injunc-
ton proceedings of the Southern Pa
cific railroad company to restrain the
California railroad commissioners from re-
ducing freight rates today came Up be-
fore Judge McKenna in the United
States district court. United States Dis
trict Attorney Foote entered a bill of
intervention on the part of the govern
ment on the ground that reduction of
freight rates would prevent the railroad
company from paying its debt to the

ton of rates. Judge McKenna will rule
on the question tomorrow.

Historic Women.

The moro one goes back into history and
looks up the secret springs of actions Of
great men whose deeds have made their
names prominent in our cOuntry'S annals
one is convinced that in many instances
the real motive for those actions is found
in the patriotism and unSrltish devotion
of their wives and mothers. To Mercy

Adams, and the author of the first history
of the American Revolution. is now accord
cd the honor Of first procaiming tho doc
trinc that "tho right to life, liberty and
the pursuit Of happiness is inherent and
belongs equally to all mankind. 1t is
also said that she was the first To advocate
separation from the mother country and
that she inspired the two Adamsea in their
efforts for independence Mrs. Abigail
Adams and Mrs. Warren We're close friends.
In II letter which Abigail Adams re-
ccivcd from her husband he wrote: II do
not believe that General Howe has very

would have put Howe in possession of
Philadelphia long ago" Abigail Adams
wrote in one of her letters to her husband,

Such were some of the women of the

The influence that women exert on the
manners of men is acknowledged to be
very great Without the refining contact
with gentle womanboOd man will never
lose she innate roughness with which ma
ture has endowed him.
High birth and good breeding are the
privileges of the few, but the habits and
manners Of gentleman may be acquired
by all 1t Is of no use to assert that their
acquisition is attended with little difficult
ty, for a perfect manner in society is the
result OF succession of small sacrifices.
No one can be perfectly well hammered
who is selfish, and even the minor virtue
of punctualit- can only be attained at the
expense of pleasure.
Etiquette is not to be learned from asso-
citation with men; it is woman who creates
society. Just a the height Of stage Or
civilization can always be measured by
the amount Of Difference which is paid to
women, so the culture OF q particular man
can be gagged by his manner when in
company with ladies.
Primitive men used TO gather round the
food which they had won in the chase and
throw the bones over their shoulders TO
the women, who sat outside the circle.
Primitive men made the women do all the
hard work and gave them all the heavy
burdens to carry. Civilized man. on the
contrary, gives precedence 10 woman in
every particular He does not eat himself
till she Is served, he is careful to give her
the best place at an entertainment, he lets
her walk on the inside Of the path and
opens the door for her when she Is leaving
the room. Woman was wise in forming
society, for these small obseryances not
only conduce TO her own comfort, but are
highly beneficial to the character Of the
man. who would without them become
rough and selfish Exchange.
