my elbow and try to write in that way.
That brings into play an entirely different
set of nerves, of course, and I found that
l could write reasonably well.
with few davs practice I improved
at 1t. but it.was extremely tiresome aud
painful and my arm would constantly drop
down. They undertook in the office here
to devise plan of holding it up by bands
or rests, as they said it was cruel to have
me write that way; and a physician to
whom one of the officers spoke told me I
must quit it as my arm might become
fixed that way and would be unable to
get it down. So l did so, and have begun

he raised it to $100. He told me in the

negotiations are now in progress Tor one
of the most important transportation en-
terprises ever inaugurated in this City, and
there is every promise Of their being car

The proposition is to lease the Tehuan-

New York and European ports. and also
with the most Important South American,

Charles Dudley Warner in the March
number of the North American Review
calls attention to the great value and need
of such an enterprise, in an article entitled
"Our Foreign Trade and our Consular Ser

"Why are we beaten by England and Ger
many in our competition for the trade of
Central and South America, and in other
markets where our skill and the quality of
our goods should give US better fortunes? p
One of the prime causes, he says, is lack
of sufficient and regular transportation
between our ports and those of Central
and South America. "Take the case of

The Consuls think that we are at disad-
vantage owing to < 4 lack of transporta-
ton facilities, which produces the anoma-
lous result of cheaper freight rates
from European than from American ports.
With lower freights our goods could be
sold cheaper"
Further along be saws: ala Pel.l, Eng

transportation for mails, freight and

terprise worthy of imitation some seventy
European steamers ply regularly between

a Liverpool line has steamers which, on
their return trip, stop at New Orleans to
complete cargo, but which, on their way
out do not stop at New Orleans. The
effect is obvious. New Orleans. the near

consolidation of the companies, the chief

for business.
For some reason the Mutual Electric
Light Company has not figured as a

it is not cassed as competitor.
Citizens who are not interested as stock
holders in either Of the companies believe
that the trust will be formed before the
time arrives for renewing annual con-
tracts for lighting the streets and public
buildings of the City. There is annually
paid from the City treasury about $340, 900
for light.
For the fiscal year ended June 80. 1896.
the San Francisco Gas Company received
for lighting buildings $6350 II; lighting

lamps, $206, ,277.
The Pacific Gas Improvement Company
received for lighting public buildings
$2O. ia 81; lighting engine houses, $3.50 ga.
The Edison Light and Power Company
received for street illumination $86,015 64.
The Auditors report for the year ended
June 80, 1895, shows that the demands
audited on the street light fund amounted
to S306, ,498.
During the same period the School De-

disclose the fact that the Park Commits.
