WcToRlA's LITERARY TASTE


Mile. Norole, who has been French
reader TO Queen Victoria for many
years, has been shedding some light
recently OH her majestys literary
tastes. According to Mdlle. Norele the
queens favorite book in the whole
range of French literature is De Mails
tres touching "Lepreux de la Cite a.
Aoste," (Leper of the City Of Aosta).
Mdlle. Norele also says: "Of all the
modern French writer's l really believe
her majesty holds Alphonse Daudet
alone admirable, although she thinks
his satire too biting, and prefers the
interesting and delightful letters from
My Mill in Provence and 'Trente Ans
de Paris TO the better-known books.
Last year we read Fenelon's tTele-
machus' from beginning to end. Her
majesty declared that the work brought
back two Of her fife's happiest periods
her own childhood's days In Kensing-
ton palace, and the days in which she
taught her children their French. A
very important branch of my work
consists in reading the many letters
received daily by the queen from men,
bers Of her family and intimate Friends.
Nearly all of these are either in Ger :.
man or French. Many OF the queens
juvenile descendants are accustomed to
send her long weekly accounts-perfect
diaries, in fact--of their doings and
opinions"

WILL USE COKE.
8. & NJ. R. R. Has Found 1t Does Not
Generate Clnders.


Generate CInders.
Now that the dust on the roadbeds
of the Boston and Maine Railroad sys-
tenn has been done away with by the
use Of oil along the tracks, the officials
have been experimenting to get rid of
a still greater discomfort to travellers
cinders. Coke has been found supe-
rior to coal for firing purposes" said
Harry Bartlett, superintendent of mo-
tive power of the Boston and Maine
Railroad, when asked about the result
of these experiments.
Zone of the first aims of the road, .
continued Mr.. Bartlett, sis to provide
comfort for it's passengers. The oiling
of the roadbed eliminates dust, and
that, you may be sure, is appreciated.
Now the time is at hand for the ever
lasting Punishment of offensive smoke
and the dangerous cinder. About 20
engines have been equipped with water
CRATES for the burning of coke but we
expect before many weeks to be able
to use the fuel with castiron CRATE.
Ordinary castiron CRATES, will not wear
under the tremendous heat generated
from a coke fire, hence the water
CRATES, which are tubular"
rs coke more expensive as a fuel for
locomotives?"
THE cost is something more, but
where the comfort of passengers is con-
cerned, the road gives very little at
tention to the difference in price. There
is no smoke from a coke fire, the only
residue being a slight indication of gas
issuing from the stack when the engine
is alive and going. Our supply comes
from the Whitney works in Everett,
where the bright light seen by subur-
ban residents, burns day and night
The intention of the Boston and
Maine road is to equip all of it's engines
for coke. Those pulling local trains
will be remodelled first.

STEEL EXPORTS.

Pittsburg, Aug. 5.-"The falling off of
exports of iron and steel for June, 1899,
forms a remarkable chapter in our
commercial history says the Ameri-
can Manufacturer and Iron World. The
sole reason assigned, according to the
above publication. is that the domestic
demand was too great and material
could not be spared, for foreign ship
ment. Many good orders have been
turned down by manufacturers for ex-
port, but a large percentage of orders
for future delivery will be taken care
Of
Export of steel fell off from AZ, SCI tons,
at a value of $S72 1854 in June, 1898, to
1906 TONS value $420,404 in June, 1899.
Billets, ingots and blooms fell off from
4149 tons, value $7S,560, to 1876 tons, val
ue $44,S26, for the same period. There
were some increases in exports, how
ever, notably steel sheets. which in
creased from 3945,671 pounds, value
$5O,312, to S,781,222 pounds, value $123, =
04S. Tin and terne plates and taggers'
tins also showed an increase ranging
from 2270 pounds, value $120, to 9693
pounds, value 1913.
The infant tinplate industry will be
pushed with great vigor when the home
demand diminiSheS, and 1t will not be
surprising if it will eventually lead
many of the industries in exporting
material. There was a notable increase
in the export of wire rods of from 2,753, :
$40 pounds, value $26,169, to 5,372, $50
pounds, value S57,625
The imports of iron ore for June, 1898,
as compared with the same month this
year, show an increase from $50 tons to
1872 tons, and from $1065 to $73, 100 in
value. Imports of bar iron increased
from 4,1S7, 566 pounds to 5,256,447 for. the
same period, at value of $77,710 to
S114060. In fact, many finished mate
rails show an increase in imports, no.
tably tinplate, from 1888, 1854 pounds,
value $183, $50, to II, S09,4 42 pounds, value

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, Aug. 5.--There was not
much doing in the stock market today.
The half-holiday on Saturday takes
away many active operators. The Lon
don exchange was closed and will be
again on Monday, thus subtracting an
appreciable factor In the usual activity.
Nevertheless the days dealings were a
fairly accurate reflection of speculative
opinion on general conditions.
There was soHne disposition to adj
vance prices in the early dealings on
account of the uniformly favorable re-
ports of business in all branches con-
tanned in the weekly reports of com
mercial agencies. But this very condi-
ton is a factor in the anxiety over the
money outlook, which again dominat-
ed as the time approaches for the pub
LEGATION of the weekly bank statement.
Money ism such large demand that the
available supply for speculative uses is
greatly curtailed. The bank statement,
when II appeared, whs weak again be-
yond all expectation. With forced

IN EXCELLENT SHAPE.
Physical Condition and Equipment of New
England Roads.

The quarterly statements of all The
railroad lines running into Boston. COW
ering the last quarter of the fiscal wear
to June 80, will be issued within the
next 10 days. Officials of all the roads.
without exception, say that their re-
spective statements will make very
satisfactory showings. There has not
been a corresponding quarter for sew
eral years, in two instances at least
the Boston and Maine and New Haven
roads-in which gains have been SO
large. While the freight traffic has
grown, particularly the through bust
ness, the passenger travel has also
been very heavy Industrial PROSPERITY
all through New England, such as is
now prevailing, is reflected in no di-
rection more quickly or more clearly
than on the traffic Of the railroad
lines.
is further worthy of note thai
while the general business of the lines
has made excellent gains, the expendi
lures for maintenance and improve
ments have also been well kept IN.
and as one prominent railroad official
puts it, THE system of New England
railroads, as a whole, was never in
such good shape, so far as its phvsi-
cal condition and its equipment are con-
cerned, as it is today. The New Haven,
Boston and Albany and Boston and
Maine lines have all done this wear
something more than the usual amount
of betterment and construction work
and the Fitchburg people are also
working out extensive plans in the
same direction. 1t ought to be said in
this connection that recent intimations
made in connection with dividend talk
that the Boston and Maine road was not
in the best of physical condition are
wholly unwarranted. The system at
every point was never in better shane
than at the present time, and there
has not been the slightest change in
the policy of ample expenditures for
maintenance and betterments. And
what is more, it will do very much of
the same sort of work in the future
more, indeed, than is now generally ex-
pected. The proper maintenance of the
property has always been one of the
first principles Of the present manage
ment's policy, and it can be set down
as an absolute fact that If the diyi
dend rate is raised this month. as ex-
pected, it will not be done until ample
provision for the future, requirements
of the property is made, Altogether.
the last quarter, and indeed the last
half year, has been one of the best ne
RODS for all of our New England roads
on record. and better still present con
ditions point to even greater things for
the future.

POPE FOR sPALoINc.

Hartford, Conn, Aug. 5.-Col. Albert
A. Pope of the Pope Manufacturing
Company announced that he is not a
candidate for the presidency Of the BIZ
cycle trust, and will not accept the po-
sition.
Instead he will support A.. G. Spald-
ing for the office. Col. Pope declares
that the treatment of Spalding by his
opponents, who are the colonel's sup
porters, is outrageous, and adds: Mr.
Spalding is fitted for the office and
should have it. I do not want it, and
VIII not have it.. am Sc years old and
have no desire to assume new respon-
sibilities. It's a shame the way they
are treating Spalding."
The opposition to Mr.. Spalding is said
to be the result of a semi political elec-
tioneering campaign, and his opponents
have been bent on forcing Col. Pope in
to the office, causing 1t to be widely cir
culated that he would accept.
