The intrinsic position Of the coal roads
generally Is probably better than 1t has
been before for many years. The reports
OF earnings submitted one after another
by them are all entirely satisfactory. not
TO say phenomenal. Prices are high for
both anthracite and bituminous coal, and
there is TO be a further advance in soft
coal freight rates on April l. which will
mean millions Of dollars additional profits
for these lines. The scarcity of coal in
England and on he Continent is almost
sure TO lead TO heavier exports In the near
future Reading first preferred and Nor
folk common are both particularly well
liked Of the group on account of their
immense earnings and their dividend
prospects. Reading now gets per cent
for the first time In many years and the
company is earning something like per
cent. Norfolk and Western is earning a
| trife better than per cent on its COM
mon stock and there is an excellent
chance of small dividend in the near
| future.

INTERESTING FACTS
ABOUT MORMONS
A Cripple Creek Correspondent Gives
Interesting News in Regard
to This Religion.
old MOSAIC LAW As EVIDENCE
Women Are Led to Believe That the More
wivssa Man Has the Better are His
Chances For Heaven.

A Cripple Creek, G :, correspond
ent Of the Philadelphia Record writes
Interestingly OF Mormon wives as fol-
lows.
"The influence of the Mormon reli-
gIon over women IS remarkable, CON
sidered from q wOman'S standpoint.
That is from one woman's standpoint.
That one woman will consent to share
her husbandl.asspns with another,
is SO unnatural this only 3 Mormon
can understand it.
Women say "sll women are Jealous"
THIS isao usltil eeg become Mormons.
Then all personal Aeling is sunk in
their religion. They subordinate af-
I c'ion to religious duty. The church
CLAIMS Mormonism to be of Divine au-
thority, and quote the Mosaic law as
evidence. To overcome the innate
jealousy of woman, they teach that If
woman does not marry, she not only
disobeys the Divine law, but that her
chances for eternal salvation are about
as small as Of camel creeping through
the eye Of needle. The same injunc
tIon also applies to man. but the doc
trine is that the "more wives man
has, the more gloriaed he is in the
eyes Of he Lord"
He must possess certain lntelectual
qualifications to .bs advanced to inn
portant offices; but, no matter what
his qualifications may be, the advance
ment will not be made, unless be
proves his belief by his ao's,
Women are led to believe that the
more wives man has, the better are
his chances for heaven, and through
his salvation theirs is more assured.
That is, she must depend upon her
husbands redemption and that unless
be is saved IN the next world, she will
also be lost. no matter how free OF sin
she may have been. This is one reason
why wives encourage their husbands
to marry other women. They are also
led to believe that to marry a high
church eff 'ia advances thelI spirit-
ual position in the naxt world.
Those who are married to the higher
ohictsls will tecome queens and rulers
IN the next world. They are taught
that JEALOUSY is sinfur passion and
they sink that passion in their desire
for eternal salvation through the hus-
band. Mormons are buried in their
endowment robes, part of which is
veil, which is placed over the face Of
the decease' The husband alone can
remove this veil on the morn Of resur-
rection, and II the veil is not removed,
there can be no resurrection for the
wives.
With the power OF the resurrection
in the husbands hands, the ignorant
wife is held up in perpetual dread"
This 10 a strange belief for people
living in this enlightened century and
civilized world 10 entertain, but the
growth Of Mormonism was great un-
til adverse legislation cut It down.
Nowadays, a man with one wife has
about all he can do to take care Of her
properly. He must provide for her
while alive, and should provide for her
after he is gone. There is no better
way to do this than by means Of good |

 "We didn't expect her any more than than the man dn the moon," said Tom, falling back that familiar comparison for want of a better. "She has only just got here from Europe She was Ellen's greatest friend, you know, and only few hours ago we got a telegram from ther, saying she should be here tonight. It was awkward. But what could we do?"
 Honest Tom grew quite red in the face with the energy of his explana uons.

 Mark was in the room. There stood Tom talking to lady. He knew he walked toward her-heard EJllen say, 1T need not introduce you to my friend Mrs. Warner was conscious that he shook hands with her, and said all that was proper on the occasion; but-it must be owned-the room looked a little unsteady for moment.
 However, he betrayed very little emotion outwardly, and Mrs. Warner appeared so perfectly self-possesed ithat it quieted him at once.
 When Mark got into his room, he was aStonished to remember that he had not taken fair look at his old acquaintance during the whole evening"
 The next morning, even looking with his jaundiced eyes, Mark was forced to ac- knowledge that, if those ten years ha1 taken away something of the girlish look from her face: she was much handsomer than she ever had been-with her dazzling complexion, her beautiful brown, eyes, and

 Another conspicuous and indefatigable member of "the lobby is "Gum Shoe'' Boyd who does the Sherlock Holmes act at Washington for the c. P. Huntington and Pacific railroad insterests. Boyd is a veteran at the capitol. having previously been employed as assistant doorkeeper in the house of representatives.
 He is @ quiet, unobStrusive person, with an absequious manner, which is not capti- vating to those who come in contact with him. He is familiar with every hole and corner of the public buildings in Wash ington, has a personal or speaking ac- quaintance with every man of prominence at the national capitol and he possesses sources of influence which are said to be invaluable to the various interests he rep resents. So humble and unobstrusive are his characteristics that he seldom walks abreast of his employers, but totters noiselessly along about two paces behind those with whom he is walking, provided they are members of the Pacific railroad combination. He is a man about 50 years old with reddish grey hair and whiskers, and is a plain, but neat dresser, always wearing Prince Albert coat and a black derby hat. He manages to keep on the trial of everything that goes on in con- gress, in the departments. or in the fed eral courts at Washington which may have any bearing whatever on the Hunt ington interests.
