Prosperity and Railroads.&c.
ing.

In former periods of business pros
perity we have in this country absorb
ed enormous quantities of our own
capital, as well as capital borrowed
from Europe, in the construction of
railroads in undeveloped regions
which were not destined to be profit
able until after many years of tribu-
lation They have been bankrupted a
time or two, and finally reorganized to
meet the gradually developed business
of the territory whose needs they had
anticipated. A boom period that en-
ploys its resources in such fashion
must inevitably be followed by a per-
iod of depression and inactivity. 1t is
to be noted that the present period of
revived business life is not character
lied chiefly by projects of that kind.
1t is true that there has been during
the past year great sum of money
spent upon railroad work in the Unit
ed States, but most of this has been
taken in a perfectly sound way from
actual earnings, in order to renew
worn-out tracks and otherwise i'm
prove the condition and increase the
capacity railroads that were paying
well enough to justify such improve
ments. Instead of increasing the div
idend rate in a period of enlarged
earnings, it has been the general plan
of the best roads to seize the accession
of flush treasury and large present
and prospective traffic to make the
road and its equipment as good as pos
sible. This policy is not the kind that
promises to be followed by sharp reac-
tions. 1t is also true, however, that
the past year has been one of increas-
ed activity in the building of new rail-
road mileage, and the Railway Age
finds that during the twelve months of
1899 no less than $500 miles of track
have been laid in the United States

Money to Improve the Ohio.

The estimate of General John NJ.
Wilson, of the Engineer Department,
showing the amount of money appro-
pIfated for river and harbor improve
ments remaining unexpended was re-
eeived by Chairman Burton, of the
Rivers and Harbors Committee today.
The Engineers Department makes no
footing showing the total amount of
money now available, but the aggre-
gate runs up into the millions. Mr..
Burton says the Engineers Depart
ment is already far behind in its work
and he believes that. inasmuch as
there is such a large amount of money
appropriated, but unexpended, 1t
would be best to postpone the framing
Of river and harbor bill until the
next session OF Congress. General Will
sons report shows that for the general
improvement of the Ohio River there
was available on July 1, 1899, a bal
ance of $496, ,332.53 and on December
81, 1899, there was available a balance
Of $432,779.02. For the construction of
movable dams in the Ohio River there
was remeaining unexpended on De-
cember 81, 1899, an aggregate OF ST.
227. .s57.S1. On the same date there was
a balance in the appropriation for the

Royal Salaries.

II pays pretty well to be the nominal
head of the great British Empire, even
If the royal powers are limited, and
the Queenly ruler little more than an
automaton, that moves in accordance
with the behests of the Cabinet and
the House of Lords. The government
Of Great Britain pays $3,OOO,OOO a year
to the ropal family. OF this amount,
two million dollars goes to the Queen
and in addition she has her revenues
from the Duchy of Lancaster, which
are nearly half a million more, The
Prince of Wales receives 100000 a
year and the Lord Lieutenant of Ire
land 100000 per annum for salary
and expenses.
France, which has incurred the
greatest debt of any nation in the
world, pays her President $4,000 per
year for salary and makes him a sim
liar allowance for his expenses. The
French debt is six thousand millions
of dollars. Italy pays King Hum
bert $2,0O0,O00 a year. The civil list
of the German Emperor is about S4,-
100000 a year, besides large private
revenues from personal estates. The
Gear of Russia owns in fee simple
1000, 900 square miles of cultivated
land and has an income of $l2,000,0O0.
When little Alfonso of Spain comes of
age, ne will be one of the richest mon
archs of Europe, as the state allows
him 100000 annually, with an ad-
ditional 100000 for family expenses.
This is a pretty big sum for a bank
rupt nation, but 1t is doubtful If the
young man ever lives to enjoy it. His
health is delicate, and the diplomats
are already speculating on the posi-
bllity of one of his sturdy step-sisters
becoming the future Queen of Spain.

Postofflce to Ninety-seventh street and
will have four tracks, the two outside
tracks for local trains and the inner
ones tor express trains. Above Nine
ty-seventh street one branch, to be
known as the West Side Line, will ex-
tend to Spuyten Duyvil Creek, and an
other, the East Side line to Bronx
Park.
The tunnel will be as near the sur
face as conditions will permit. At
FIT. George, however, it will be nearly
$50 feet deep, and at the 1S1st street
station it will be 100 feet below the
surface. In all cases where the track
is mora than thirty feet from the sur
face elevators will be provided.
The dimensions of the tunnels will
be 20 feet wide for two tracks, so feet
for fur tracks, and a height of not
less thar 10 feet in the clear The

Steamboat Combine.

Regarding the combination about to
be made among the packets plying out
If Pittsburg the. Wheeling Register
says:
There was an account published in
last Mondays Register, mere report,
regarding combination of or an
agreement between the owners of the
larger packets plying cut of Plttsburg.
Not only is this so, but, if all arrange
ments contemplated are completed, the
smaller packets will be taken in. This
does away with all rate wars. The
rlyermen for years have been cutting
each others throats, carrying certain
articles fer less than it costs to handle
the stuff. Years ago an agreement
would have meen effected had it not
been for a certain boat owner
The rate on certain common articles
has been raised away up. This the
boat owners were compelled to do in
order to live. The present rate is now
nearly what is charged on railroads.
The boats that are in on the deal are
the Queen City, Virginia, Keystone
tate. Kanawha Greenwood, Ben Hur
and Lorena.
Ever since the larger boats have
formed this agreement, movement
has been on foot, in charge of a we'll
known local packet owner, to bring
about a meeting of the smaller local
boats TO agree to a uniform scale TO be
used by all The Uranias owners re-
fused to enter the combination and un-
til yesterday the matter could not be
accomplished Yesterday 1t was re-
ported chat the Urania had laid up at
Sistersyille and paid the crew off,
it has been known that the boat has
not been doing lucrative business
and would soon have to quit the trade.
Although it was not thought the boat
would drop ont so quickly, the boats
withdrawal has opened the way to ef-
feet the proposed combination and
agreements not only among them
selves, but with the owners of the
larger packets.
The projectors of this movement are
very confident of its success, and are
sanguine enough to state that the
work will be accomplished before the
week is out.
The beats affected by the proposed
change in rate will be the Leroy,
Ruth, T, NJ. Bayne. Elolse, Bedford,

1t is not known whether the owners
Of the City of Pittsburg have been
asked to join the ether boats or not,
although 1t is altogether probable they
have. The boat is lying at Portsmouth
awaiting her new boilers. She is ex-
pected out about the first of March.

bodies, greatly offended him, and he
gradually drew away from the church
and found himself enveloped in that
agnosticism which cost him his dear
est earthly friend. But this observ-
ance was only temporary; as years
went on his incertitude changed to
hopei there stole into his heart sweet
assurance Of the life unending and all
his doubts disappeared. During the
last 20 years, long before his powers
failed, he had held firmly to the essen
tlal truths of Christianity.
For the last 20 years he had lived in
his beautiful Brentwood, ON Coniston
water, in the lake country. There
have been seasons when the storm
cloud has settled over him, but 1t has
been, on the whole, a serene old age.
For the last two or three years he has
been passing under the shadow, the
tablets of memory were blurred, and
imagination had folded her wings; the
old man was an infant of days. 1t is
mournful that he who had waited so
long at the open gates of the day
should be left for so many months in
the darkness All who loved him gave
thanks when the veil was parted and
the free spirit rose into the light of
God.
Last Thursday afternoon they car
ried him to his grave by the beautiful
Coniston water hidden in blooms was
the bier on which they bore him;
wreath from the queen crowned the
floral offerings From all parts of
England men and women were gather
ed about that grave. Were the ocean
less wide there would have been
greater throng.
No man ever loved the better, or the
evening light upon their SUBMITS, or
the clouds that kissed and crowned
them, or the forest that draped their
sides; and if, as l believe, the world
to which he has gone is not unlike the
world from which he has passed, then
| can almost imagine that at the ad-
vent of one who loved them so, the
mountains and the hills of that coun-
try will break forth before him into
singing and all the trees of the field
will clap their hands.
