WILLIAMS TALKS TO RYAN.

A few days ago there appeared in our
dispatches a letter from Mr.. Thomas T.
Ryan of New York to Mr.. John Shelton
Williams president of the Seaboard Air
Line, the Georgia and Alabama Railway
and the Florida Central and Peninsular
Railway The impression made on the
minds of many of those VINO read it was
probably that Mr.. Williams plan for con-
solidating che foregoing properties called
for a larger amount of securities tnan
the proposed new system could carry sue
cessfully. In other words, Mr.. Williams
plan Of consolidation would wreck the
properties.
In an such matters it is better to hear
both sides before forming an opinion. We
publish to-day a somewhat lengthy state
ment from Mr.. Williams to Mr.. Ryan in
which the former makes 1t appear that if
the earnings of the proposed system
should be no greater than the total of the
separate properties at present, there would
be much more than sufficient to pay all
operating expenses and fixed charges
that there would be a comfortable sur
plus remaining 1t is reasonable TO ex>
pect- that the net earnings of the con-
soldated properties will be larger than
they were before consolidation.
We cannot say, of course, that Mr.. Will
liams statement is more reliable than
that of Mr.. Ryan's, but it seems to be
very frank and fun one He S so
well satisfied apparently of his ability 90
carry out his plan, and make it a sue
cess, that he offers to buy all of Mr.
Ryans stock at a price that ought to sat
sfy the latter, as it is far above what it
cost him.
II does look as if it We're Mr. Ryan's
purpose to prevent the consolidation of
the foregoing railroad properties, for rea-
sons which do not appear in the CORE
spondence, rather than because he thinks
that consolidation would cause his hold
ings in the Seaboard to depreciate. If ne
is really afraid that his stock in the Sea-
board viii become practically valueless. if
the consolidation is effected, he ought to
accept the offer of 5000 a share for il
which Mr.. Williams makes him.

GOV. Lubbock,s SAUSAGE.

Ex-Gov. Lubbock of Texas, now over
50 years of age, tells of a sausage he re-
ceived as a present from Burton N. Harri-
son while incarcerated in Fortress Mon
roe, says the New York Press. Harrison
was in another prison. An officer handed
the sausage. stuffed in a case, to Lubbock

Mr.. John H. Reagan, of Mr.. Davis's Of
fetal family, tells this on ex-Gov. Lub-
book: when President Davis, Lubbock
and myself were captured II was early in
the morning, and Lubbock had lust bril-
died his horse, thrown on the saddle and
lied the ssddlebags. A soldier approached
gun in hand and seized one side of The hit
while Lubbock held on TO the other. The
soldier then seized the side of the saddle
bags next to him, while Lubbock grabbed
the other, and then they engaged in a pull
ing match. Another soldier, leveling his
gun at Lubbock, said, If We don't git away
from that harse III shoot We! Lubbock
was not as good Presbyterian then as he
is now, and he replied, Shoot and be

A Louisville woman who spent the sum-
mer at a famous mountain resort in Vir-
ginia declares that, like all other places
of the kind 1t has its star boarder, says
the Louisville Times. This one was a
young Southern girl. She was not pretty,
yet far from being honely; there was no
special style about her, and she was as
heavy on hand as a log, and, last of all,
she was not particularly rich. But she
lorded it over the place. and all the other
boarders walked behiHd like the sister of
giddy "Dodo." The Louisville woman lost

mys.ery. One day she chatted with the

Wasted Questions.

Scientific inquiry is sometimes curiously
baked, says the Youths Companion A
professor of one of our colleges who is a
summer resident of little New England
village, on his first rounds this year met
native townsman who told him, among
other items of local interest, of the ILL
ness of his wife.

cause OF ter illness?"
This her husband was not prepared to
say, but at length admitted that some call

Judicioust questions, however, the profess

the sick woman was suffering from epilep-

symptoms. The answers he received were.

tional committee to provide an open

through which a Hawaiian delegate may
obtain admission TO that body. Il is pos
sible that Porto Rico may also desire 10
be represented in the convention. 1t is
argued that both Hawaii and Porto Rico

AT the timeI did not think he had injured
himself. Six months after he was help
less cripple, with hip joint disease; the hip
was swollen to twice its natural size, and
he was obliged to lie on his back at all
times; he could not set up or take a step
In this condition l placed him in the Tel

months all told. Six weeks ago 1 took
him from the hospital and placed him I'M
