NJ. r. ingalls,. the president Of the company
says In the report:
The gross earnings Of the company for the
year just ended are the greatest in its history
exceeding by more than $L0OO.O0O the largest
previous earnings. All classes OF traffic show an
increase, but that Of freight Is the most.
THE passenger earnings show slight In
crease received from each passenger per mile
but there IS an increase in the number Of pas
sengers. and the passenger trains show a graft
flying gain in the earnings per mile. being for
the year just ended 925 cents. against 81
cents the previous year The tons Of freight
carried one mile show the very large increase Of
% per cent: the rate per ton per mile, however,
decreased from 40 mills 70 $40 mfs-a re-
markedly low average. due to the increase In
the lower class Of freights and to the excessive
competition In the coal traffic; the seaboard rate
per ton per mile the latter traffic dropping to
80 mills from 291 mills last year
ct is also gratifying to state that all ex-
penditures made during the year. including
those for additions and betterments, have been
charged TO operating expenses. and no additions
have been made to construction account during
this period"

The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1898-12-21

It was at pleasant dinner party at a
famous New York hotel, when the con-
versation turned to the approaching
Christmas The guests were of various
callings but all were qualified to join the
Travellers club, having visited at least
three continents.
"What was the oldest Christmas you
ever spent?" asked one at a pause in the
general chat.
81 certainly can claim the most norther-
ly one," said Captain Leonard Smith, for
merly of New Bedford. 1T was when
was whaling in the arctic seas and my
ship was icebound in the pack about 100
miles north of Alaska. 1t was a beautiful
day, clear, quiet and intensely cold The
stars look ed like sharp points, the moon
like a clean cut silver disk and the heavens
as black as sin. Scientifically it was day,
but as matter of fact it was pure mid
night. Our bill of fare was wonderful
We had seething punch, tea and coffee
Our meats were corned beef, corned pork
and best of all, some polar bear meat and
seal blubher. | will not recommend seal
blubber for these ATTITUDES, but in the far
north, after many months on salt horse
and canned goods, it's as delicious -
boiled chicken. We had potatoes, carrots,
yellow turnips and gingerbread pudding
with real raisins in it. There wasn't a
dish any one here would look at at the
present moment, but all on board vowed it
was the finest banquet they could recall"
''If l did not have the most southerly
Christmas, had certainly the hottest, )"
remarked William Pender Mclean, once
editor of the Hongkong Telegraph, but
now a Gothamite 1T was at Port Oar
win, in Australia, which, next to the Mo-
have desert, is probably the hottest spot on
earth. December there is equivalent to
our June, and the weather of their Christ
mas is that of our Fourth of July.
"On account of that frightful scourge,
the white ant, timber cannot be used in
house construction, so that the roofs are
made of iron girders and corrugated sheet
veritable oven. The Thermometer was
way over the 100 mark, and every one in
our party was a picture of perspiration
and discomfort. But We were determined
to celebrate Christmas in good old fash
ioned style

evergreens, and some one hung up a
bunch of whatShe caiieG mistietoe. Luck

the punch was iced, and every food, ex-

was cold.

A FLORIDA LETTER.

Florida is yet able to take good care
of herself, as the facts go to show. We
have had no yellow jack in the state
owing to the rigid enforcement of the
laws by DR.. Porter, and we have had
no epidemic of any kind; but peace
and prosperity is perched upon our
banners. Farmers have got their
crops gathered, and an abundant yield
is the result. w. B. Follansbee, our
neighbor, formerly of Wellington, rails
ed a famous crop of sweet potatoes !;
the yield being at the rate of 400 BUSH
els per acre. And as sweet potatoes
are our standby, it is evident his fam
lily is we'll supplied.
The cold weather reached us, giving
US couple of frOsts, but doing no par
ticular damage, yet making it cold
enough, so we are very glad we are no
further north. The usual number of
winter tourists are coming among US,
which makes it now more lively than
it otherwise would be. The quail
shooting has been good and several
local hunters. The fishing season has
not yet fairly opened. but we will soon
be hearing some big fish stories. An
old darky told us the "kotched one so
big it couldn't flop after he had landed
it i'll the boat" so that will do for a
starter. The orange crop though COM
paratively small is such as to warrant
us in saying the Industry is rapidly
coming to the front again, and it is
equally certain that prices will rule
Iigh for some years to come. The
good ads" movement is being push
d forwn d and we hop" soon to have
npruv' roads throughuI the country.
BIT Florida is big state and it will be
some time yet before we can boast OF
the superiority of our roads, but there
is no mud to contend with. Orange
groves are looking wellland the pros
