The author has published a letter
from Rudyard Kipling, which ends by
setting forth explicitly the grounds on
which his case against certain Ameri-
can publishers rests. He concludes:
"They have made me responsible be-
fore public to whom l peculiarly owe
the best and most honest work I can
turn out, for an egregious padded fake,
and all these things they did, taking
advantage Of that public's interest in
my illness when l lay at the point Of
death. / do not see how | can permit
their action to pass without challenge.

which will do evil to the honor and in
tegrity Of the profession that so far
has given the countenance and profit"

There is great excitement in the tea
trade owing to the decision of the In
dian and Ceylon sellers to abolish the
practice Of allowing a pound extra to
every hundred as compensation for
waste. The dealers here are in arms
and have resolved to boycott the Indi-
an and Ceylonese teas. As a counter
blast to this is the decision of the sell
iers of Calcutta, who withdrew all
their teas, refusing to sell for london.
Twenty thousand chests were with
drawn at Calcutta alone and the &C
ton was stopped. Out of 240,000,00C
pounds required for Great Britain plan
tiers and exporters representing 215,-
100000 pounds, have promised to stick
to the abolition resolution. Some Of
the planters are starting for England
to open agencies in their country fol
the sale of their teas. In the meantime
the doors have been opened for China
teas of lower grade.

A Mountaineering oneen.

Queen Margaret of Italy has prom
ised to climb Rocca Melone, one of
the highest peaks of the Italian Alps,
to take part in the dedication of a
statue of the Virgin, of which the
queen herself is the sculptor. About
two years ago a company of Alpine
militia were marching over Rocea Me-
lone, when the avalanche started and
nearly all were buried beneath a vast
mass Of snow. Assistance was sum-
moned quickly fom the nearest mill
tary post, and all the entombed men
were rescued. The queen was strange
ly moved by the incident. She COM
posed thanksgiving prayer to the
Virgin, and resolved to make a statue
and erect 1t on the spot of the rescue.
A verse Of this prayer is engraved
upon the pedestal Of the statue.

1T COSTS So MILLIONS.
An Enormous Sum Spent in Rebuilding
and Re-equipping the Ii. s. O. X. II.

The receivership Of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, which has just come
to close, was remarkable in many
ways. Messrs. Cowen and Murray did
not follow precedent, but went ahead
and placed the property in first-class
shape, instead of attempting to MAIN
tain it in the condition that they found
it. OF course the receivers were up
held by a majority of the security hold
ers and the court, but the Baltimore
and Ohio receivership marked an epoch
in such affairs that will be historical.
The vast sums expended were put out
in '96 and 49, when trade was at a low
ebb and money scarce. During their
administration the receivers purchased
1880 box cars, 6,751 wooden gondola
cars, 5000 pressed steel cars, 80 mis-
cellaneous freight cars, postal, express
and dining car equipment, at a total
cost of 100000. The ZIG locomotives
cost nearly two and one-half millions.
The steel rail purchased amounted to
123,010 tons, costing $2,142,152, and
there were bought over 100000 cross
ties, costing S1,2OOOOO, and 100000
cubic yards of ballast amounting to
S525. 900. The new steel bridges aggre-
gate in value $750,000, and fully as
much more was spent in improving the
several terminals. erecting new build
ings, reducing grades and changing the
alignment. The maintenance of way
payrolls, or the amount paid directly
to men employed in making improve
ments on the tracks. etc., in three
years was nearly twelve millions of
dollars. The total amounts to about
$35, 100000, of which about SIS, 000, 900
were secured by the issuance of receiy-
ers' certificates and the balance
through car trusts, earnings from the
property and from the reorganization
managers. Most of the purchases of
equipment and rail were made when
material was low in price and manu-
featuring concerns we're in great need

fully.
Bernard SIZZLING looked somehow
out of place in East London. He was
tall, aristocratic looking young man
of five and twenty or Whereabouts. His
features were good, his eyes large and
bright, and he was justly proud of his
long chestnut mustache. He was a
brave young fellow. too, for he had
been born in the midst of poverty, and
had never lost heart. His father and
mother were of the rare quixotic few
who live, not for themselves, but TO
mitigate the sorrows of those around
them. Possessed of talents which
would have made his fortune in a
fashionable west-end district, DR.. Stell-
ing still chose to live and work in
one Of the most unsavory quarters Of
the east end, sometimes getting paid
for his labors, but more frequently not
and indulging whenever he could get
the chance in such an extravagantly
generous proceeding as the adopting
of Marguerite had been. His own
small private fortune he had devoted
almost entirely to the education of his
son and daughter. Bernard and Mary,
the former of whom had just obtained
a mastership in a public school, hav-
ing passed very creditably through the
university.
1t was perhaps to be regretted on
more than one ground that the impe-
cunious Bernard had fallen in love
with the penniless Marguerite: yet,

was scarcely to be wondered at

The Volta electrical exhibition at

stroyed by fire, due to defective electric
wires. Many relics of Volta persisted.
There was no loss of life. The fire
broke out in the marine gallery and
spread with marveous rapidity, owing
to the combustible nature of the build

were in the buildings when the flames
broke out, and fled in a state of panic.
