How and Why Railroads Water Tn ir
stock.
The watering Of railroad stocks
Is known by all to exist, but just
how it is done or Why it is done Is
yet an enigma to many people. 1t
Is the purpose Of this article to an
swer both questions in the SIM
plest manner possible. Let us take
the following simple illustration
Jones, Smith and Brown organize a
railroad company and build and
equip a road from Salt Lake to
Murray. Let us suppose it costs
them $4,000. They begin opera
tons and at the end of the year
they find they have cleared s25, 900
or 90 per cent. Of the actual cost OF
the road. Now, should the news
reach the public what the company
is making on their investment,
complaints would soon be heard
that freight and passenger rates
are too high. To throw the public
OF their guard and to make 1t APP
pear that freight charges are none
TOO high, that is to say to m AXE the
people believe that the percentage
OF profit is not too large, the COM
pany issues $4,000 worth of stock.
This costs nothing more than the
blank paper and the printing. 1t
now appears that the road cost
$lO0,OOO, while, in fact, it only cost
100000, but the percentage of pro-
Mt is now only 20 per cent. instead
OF % per cent. But 20 per cent. Is
100 much, so the company issue:
SlOO,00O more OF stock Now the
ngures on the company's book:
would make it indicate that thu
road had actually cost 100000 anC
that the profit of $4,000 is only
~ per cent. on the investment
Again, they issue 100000 mor'
stock and that reduces their per
centage of profit to only ct per cent
And SO it is continued until it look
\ 10 be losing game, while the fact
are that the company is still reap
Il Ing 80 per cent. profit on the none.

cost actually less than $4,000 pc

what is known as robbing the Law

WARNER HALL ASSEMBLY,.
Closing One of the Season Held Last
 Night.

Closing One of the Season Held Last
 Night
 Warner hall was last night the scene of one of the most brilliant assem- blages of the season. It was the fourth and closing assembly given by the graduates of Yale university and de- spite the indictment weather there were about seventy-five couples present.
 Free from the restraints of the solemn Lenten season just past, the members of the younger society set enjoyed several hours in the may dance. Charming and vivacious young women in beautiful and fetching gowns made the scene a very pleasant one. In the dance there was a perfect Kaleidoscope of brilliant colors. Rob- inson's orchestra in the upper gallery discoursed entrancing music for pro- gramme of eighteen popular dances.
 The patronesses, Mrs. w. w. Far nam, Mrs. Arthur H. Day, Mrs. Isham Henderson, Mrs. Eli Whitney, Mrs. Arthur Hadlev and Miss Rebecca Beach, were seated on platform in the front part of the hall. The hall was never more prettily decorated There were numerous palms and oth- CT plants placed along the walls of the hall while the stage in front was completely hidden with an immense bank of flowers. The floor was in per- feet condition.
 During intermission, Fleming, the caterer, and a corps of assistants serv- ed dainty refreshments.
 Among those in attendance were the Misses Belknap of Vassar college, who are the guests of Miss Susan Wright; Miss Bunce of Brooklyn, N. Y, who is visiting Miss May Bishop; Miss Ogles- by of Indianapolis, the guest of Miss Harrison; Miss Burke of Orange, N. J.; Miss Krevals of New York city, Miss YandeIl of Louisville, and the Misses Jackson of New York city; the Misses Bishop, Carmalt, Clark, filling, Gibbons, Whittlesey, ,Stoughton, Hotch- kiss, Bradley, Parmelee, Harrison, Ben nett, Munger.

AFTER TIE SUIT CLUBS
RETAIL MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION
 TO BEGIN TIGORoNS ACTION.

Matter to be Discussed at the Meeting
 Next wednesday-The Committee Will
 Recommend Legal Proceedings-Mer-
 chants Determined to Crush Out the
 Clubs.
 The regular monthly meeting of the board of directors of the Retail Mer- chants association will be held next Wednesday morning. Several import ant business matters will be discussed, the most important of which is in re- gard to the abolition of the trouble some suit clubs.
 This matter has been on the tapis for some months and recently a special committee was appointed to devise the best ways and means to accomplish the desired end. This committee has con- suited with City Attorney Brown in reference to the same and as a conse- quence have decided that the only ef- fectual way to do away with the clubs is by legal proceedings, and it is said that definite and prompt action will be recommended by the committee at the meeting on Wednesday.
 The members of the committee are, however, very reticent as to their movements, because they consider that the effort to crush the trading stamp and coupon systems in the city was very seriously injured by being given too much publicity and before defi- nite plan of action had been decided upon. The merchants are determined to crush out the suit clubs and in all probability one or more suits will be instituted next week.
 An organization similar to the local one has recently been formed by the merchants of Bridgeport and a conn., mittee from the same was in the city yesterday and extended an invitation to the members of the association here to attend 8 meeting to be held in Bridgeport on next Tuesday evening. The object of having the members of the local association attend the meet ing is to have them explain the practi- cal working and benefits of such an association, and how it can be made something more than a mere collection agency, as the association is consider ed by many. No doubt several local merchants will go to Bridgeport in re- sponse to the invitation.
 An effort is being made to organize the merchants of Danbury into an as- sociation on similar lines and the mem- bers of the local association have been invited to assist in the organization there.

FUNERAL OF MRS. PARNELL.

The remains of Mrs. Della ParnelI, mother of the late Charles Stewart Parnell, were removed yesterday from the family mansion, Avohdale, County Wicklow, for interment in G1asnevin cemetery, Dublin. At the capital a. vast concourse of people awaited the arriv-g al of the coffin, and walked in process sion to the cemetery, where the burial services of the Church of Ireland was conducted by the Rev. Wyndham Guin- ness, rector of Rathdrum, who attend- ed Mrs. Parnell in her last illness, and the Rev. ThomasLong. The grave was opened beside that of deceased's son. Several wreaths were sent, including one from Col. Hay, the American am- bassador in London. This was brought to the graveside by MT. Milbourn, the newly appointed American consul in Dublin. The inscription on the wreath sent by the Parnellite members of Par- liament was, "To the memory of the dead mother, from the faithful and sor- rowing colleagues of her good son. z The chief mourners were MT. J. H. Parnell, M. P. (son;) Mrs. Dickson and Mrs. Paget (daughters) and Mrs.. O'Cleary (granddaughters) and MT. McDer1nott (son-in-law). The attends ants included Messrs. Corbett, Har- rington, Clancy, Field and Hayden, members of parliament.-London Chronicle,

 Rev. Dr. Mitchell, who recently re- turned from Virginia, where he spent several days on his plantation, says the climate is as fine as in any section of the country. His plantation of eight hundred acres Is located at Amelia Court House and only five miles from the railroad. He states that the region is fast filling up with settlers, some of whom have come all the way from Nebraska and Indiana. Speaking of
 
 ton, Dr. Mitchell says:
 "One can hardly go ten rods on the plantation without starting up rabbits, squirrels or wild turkeys; and robins are very numerous and are hunted at will. Large packs of hounds are kept for hunting foxes, which are plentiful. Land is cheap and the people are rap idly settling down there"
 Asked how the war scare affected the people, Dr. Mitchell said:
 ''.rhe negroes are frightened. One of them remarked. Give us just twelve hours notice of the war, boss, and we will take to the woods.' They are afraid when war is talked about. In the four or five years have been go- ing down there, there has been great improvement. Villages have sprung up and new farms brought under cultiva- ton. And while many people have gone there, it is strange that much larger number have not found out the advantages of the section. The neigh borhood is up to the times and it is a fine place to live in, I assure you. The drinking water is pure and there are some fine medicinal springs. The peo- pie are genial, cordial and sociable. It is delightful country and enjoy my visits down there very much"

PROF. PARKER'S ST. CHRIsTo.
 PEER.
Sung With Great Success in Carnegie
 Hall.

Hall.
 Prof. Horatio w. Parker's new ora- toria ''St. Christopher" was performed for the first time yesterday afternoon at Carnegie Music hall In New York by the New York Oratorio society under the directoin of Walter Damrosch. The soloists were Emma Juch, w. Theodore Van York, Fraugion Harry Smith. Van York, Fraugion Davies, Ericsson Bushnell and Master Harry Smith. MT. Van York sang at very short notice in place of Evan Williams, who was indisposed. The large audience num- bered all the prominent musicians of New York and large representation of Prof. Parker's friends from Boston. Quite a party of New Haven people were present. The work was received with the greatest possible enthusiasm, and Prof. Parker was repeatedly com- pelled to rise in his box and acknowl- edge applause. The great interest aroused in the musical world by Prof. Parker's first oratorio Flora Novissi- ma" made the first performance of this new work an occasion of particular in- tereSt
 It will be performed later in Albany, Springfield and Cincinnati and proba- bly, in Chicago. In the latter two places it will be given under Theodore Thomas direction, who is especially enthusiastic about it's merits. Yale college and New Haven have cause to felicitate themselves on account of our fellow townsman's success.

NO ORDER TO PROCEED.

Mines Will Not be Placed in the Har-
 bor Just Yet.
 The work of placing mines in the New Haven harbor has not yet begun and Manager Foote of the Connecticut Electrical company said yesterday that as yet no word had been received to go ahead or that the idea had been en- tirely abandoned. He said, however, that the first order, that of keeping his men in readiness for placing mines in the harbor on short notice, had not as yet been rescfnded. It is thought that the order was given simply that preparations might be made for the work if it was deemed necessary, and that there will be no order to proceed until acti ve hostilities shall have been commenced.

SWEETHEARTS THIRTY YEARS
 AGO

It Is not often that disagreement between two lovers is patched up af- ter an interval of thirty years, but such appears to be the case between Mrs. Elizabeth M. Perkins of York street and MT. Dickenson, wealthy retired merchant of Springfield, Mass. They were sweethearts in their youth, but parted seemingly never to meet again. But it was not so to be and when circumstances brought them to- gether within the last year they con- cluded that "it is never too late to mend" and so decided to be married. The marriage is to occur at the resi- dence of F. c. Beecher next Monday. They will take a wedding trip to Lake wood, N. J., and will afterward return to Springfield, which is to be their fu- ture home.

THE MAY MUSIC FESTIVAL.
To be Held by the Connecticut Mus

To be Held by the Connecticut Music
 Teachers Association.
 Only a month remains before the May festival of the Connecticut Music Teachers association. In short time the tickets will all be sold and many will be disappointed not to be able to buy them at the last minute.
 The soloists engaged for Verdps Re- quiem Mass May IS are easily in the front rank of artists. Madame De Were Sapio, soprano, has made great progress as vocalist since she last appeared in New Haven, and has made an enviable European reputation, be- sides adding to her American reputa- tion. She has a powerful, eminently resonant soprano, which ascends even ly to D above the staff, the registers being magnifcently balanced.
 Mrs. Katherine Bloodgood, the con- tralto, unites beauty of person with the gift of song. She possesses pure con- tralto of singularly rich and resonant quality, and is absolutely free from a suspicion of a break or division be- tween her upper and lower registers rare virtue in contraltos.
 w. Theodore Van York, tenor, has voice of beautiful timbre, which, combined with a perfect method and intelligence, wins him success wher- ever he sings. There is none of the overdone sentimentality in MT. Van Yorx's singing, as in many tenors.
 Joseph s. Baernstein needs little from the public to recall him to the minds of the music-lovlng people of New Ha- ven, his magnificent bass voice adding so much to the success of the recent concert in aid of Rabbi Rappaport. MT. Baernstein is easily one of the finest passes before the American pub 1ia

5,00O,OO0 BUSHELS.
Joseph Letter Unloads This Amount of
 Wheat

Chicago, April 15.-The unloading of about 5,O0O,OO0 bushels of July wheat to-day by Joseph Letter resulted in a break of three cents in that option. May also declined sharply, closing two and one-half cents lower than it did yesterday The wildness and activity of the market are shown by the fact that there was seven cents difference between the high and low prices of May and three and one-quarter cents in July. May was bid up to 115 and sold as low as 10s. The high point for May-115-is the highest since 1892. July closed at the lowest. price of the day
