LEEDS ( PENNINGTON
=. =. CO.
First Mortgage G per cent Bonds,
DUE JULY 4, 1896.

We have bought $633,000 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 1st, 1896, at 4 per cent per an
mum for the unexpired time, receiv-
ing in exchange an equal number of
Leeds and Pennington 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 q
8 rs 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
now practically a first mortgage on
the road, as there will be only ST..
253,30o outstanding when the
Leeds g. Harrington are converted
out Of total Of $9,00O,0O0, 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 approx.
mately $4,000; this is in addition to
amount saved in 1894 of $4,000,
making total OF nearly 100000 OF
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 a long, choice Sc
curity at a moderate cost.
The As not exchanged, as above
will be offered to the public at al
advanced price.

The Singers Residence in Paris Fitted Up
With American Devices.
IN. Y. SUM-

IN. Y. Sum-
Three seasons with the opera company
in New York, half dozen more in Lon
don, including her concert engagements
and the big prices paid her to sing i'll
private houses, have brought to Nine
Emma Eames-S Story something more than
a modest competence. The money the
prima donna has earned she has care
fully invested, chiefly in good American
securities, and this autumn she moves
into her now house in Paris, which, even
for Partisan home, is a perfect little
bijou. Nine. Emma Eames-Story con-
fesses that both sentiment and a fond
ness for the pretty gardens in the square
led her to buy and build on the charm
ing Places DIES tats-Unis, that lies in
the most fashionable center of the French
capital, just step off the aristocratic
Avenue Kleber, and not so very far from
the Avenue du Boise de Boulogne, where
the young Countess de Castellane is hay
ing a wonderful model of the Grand
Trianon erected for her occupancy.
Much of the charm and interest OF Nine
Eames- Story's pretty house lies IN tne
fact that she directed the archltect IN
making the plans, and with the aid OF her
husbands taste, has decorated and fur
nished it closely after American models
Without it is three-story mansion,
built of the beautiful cream white stone
used in Paris, and within it is fitted
with every American conyenience-beau-
tiful white bath tubs, electric bells and
lights, dumb walters, stationary wash
stands in pretty alcoves, and even the
latest and most approved American door
locks and burglar alarms. The sale
d'honeur of the house is its mistress
music room. done all in pale yellow and
white. The grand piano is of American
make, and built in an alcove is a small
organ, which Nine. Story thinks next
after a great orchestra, is the most in
spring music to sing to. Opening out
of the music room is Mr.. Story's stu
do, and above stairs are the bed room
suites. That Of Nine. Story is hung in
Pompadour chintzes; it's broad windows
look out on the Howery square that bears
the name of her native country.

Fettered Yet Free. A Study in Heredity.

& Co. From the Publisher Price ST. co. J
Few writer's of fiction on the plane of
Annie S. SWANS work have enjoyed the
well-merited good fortune which has been
hers during the last few years in Great
Britain-a popularity that has grown
with the work and is now greater than it
has ever been. In America she is repre-
sented by E. P. Roe, and the influence
of her stories in the home is more close
ly identified with that of this popular
noyelist's than any other. 1t is therefore
with satisfaction that her new book Fet.
tered Yet Free has also been brought to
the readers of this country, for there is
always. room. and a warm welcome for the
class of pure and wholesome fiction which
has distinct purpose in view. namely,
to elevate and inspire the great mass OF
readers with noble motive ana to
stimulate them to better living. The pen
alties which heredity teaches us follow
our children in the train of wrongdoing
and self Indulgence are generally recog.
nized but not with that insistence and
strong emphasis which such a story as
this greatly helps to incuIcate. 1t is not
to be overlooked in calling attention tc

Governor Foraker, in a speech in Ohio
the other night, happily answered the
argument of the free traders that protec-
ton benefits only employers, and does
not help employees Protection. he
said, 'scannot make men pay any certain
standard of wages, but it can afford them
the opportunity Of doing SO. 1t is,
then, by at least so much better than free
trade, which takes away the opportunity. "
Continuing, the Ex-Governor said: "Take
the lines of business that are protected
and compare them with those that are
not; in which do you find the most pros
perity, and where are the better wages
paid?" The experience of the past three
years has given the American people such
q liberal education on that point that the
answer can be safely left to their own
powers of discernment

The Democrats seem to be getting a
good deal of satisfaction out of the fact
that their new tariff did not kill the tin
plate industry. Their contention used to
be that there was no tin plate industry
to kill. They used to claim that the al
legged tin plate mills were mere myths.
Their present position is practically a
confession that their old position was a
false one.

If England and the United States

Ian matter, the sympathy of all the Euro

England Russia could be depended upon
to grayitate toward us rather than toward
England-not entirely from love of us,
but partly, at least, from dislike OF
England. Russia and England are rivals
in several parts of the globe, and neither

An official publication issued by the
Department of Agriculture in 1892 con-
tains some interesting references to the
Venezuelan boundary question. This
book, in describing tho agricultural re-
sources of the South American republics,
gives statistics Of population and area.
In referring to Venezuela the publication
states:
''It ought to be noted perhaps that the
British authority known as the The
Statesman's Year Book, for 1885. gives
the area of British Guiana bounding
Venezuela on the east as 76, 600, and that
the same annual for 1886 gives the area
as 109, 600 square miles, an increase dur
ing year of SO, 600 square miles to Euro
pean possessions in America, and an
equal loss to the republic of Venezuela,

The American vice-consul at George
town, British Guiana, DR.. Spaight, has
gone a good deal out of his way to criti-
cjze the attitude of the administration
in the Venezuelan case. Assuming that
that attitude is one of hostility to the
British claims, he proceeds to assert that
those claims are good, and that
President Crispo of Venezuela is guilty
of aggression upon British territory.
This is a curious attitude for a consul of
the United States-publicly declaring
that the position of his government is
wrong, when his opinion has not been
asked. 1t ought to constitute sufficient
ground for his immediate removal.

The enthusiasm with which the mention
of Mr.. Reeds name at any Republican
gathering in this State is being received,
shows clearly the drift of sentiment.
Without any question the masses of Re
publicans, so far as they have yet made
themselves felt, are strongly in favor OF

in slipping past and closing the door
Then she remembered her poor dog.
She couldn't let him die without an eff

fore Mr.. Platt arrived breathless on

heiress has spent most of her life in
travel and study abroad and will be
entirely competent to follow his lord
ship in any mental flights he may feel
disposed to indulge.
In the way of money, too, the Chi
cago girl will probably not be found
wanting, and if the blushing bride is
to be endowed at the altar with
enough titles to fill book and more
ancestors than pounds sterling, yet the
fatherin-law, whose fortune was made
in trade, is not the man to accept a
good thing without paying for it. The
rent roll of large number of build
ings in Chicago will come in quite
handy in paying the ordinary bills of
the hereditary legislator and his Amer
lean wife and will not be unwelcome
when it comes to renovating the an
cestral manors and cutting the park

aire. The early profits of the dry

Mortgages In This Country.

There are 1880, 1852 families living in
the United States, of which 4,767, ,17G
occupy farms and 1922 1913 occupy
homes in town. OF the total, 47.S per
cent. own their farms and homes and
52.2 per cent. pay rent. OF the farms
or homes, 72.03 per cent. are entirely
free from incumbrance and only 27 97
per cent. are mortgaged at all. And
the mortgages represent but 375 per
cent. of the value of the property, the
average value of the incumbered farms
or homes being 1882 and the average
amount of the mortgage s1,257. Mort
cages are generally looked upon as evi-
dence of failing fortunes. On the con.
trary, it is estimated by some they rep
resent enterprise and development.
Farms generally are mortgaged for the
implements that work them.
