'Des Moines. twenty minutes stop for
dinner" shouted the conductor as the
Great Western train from Kansas City
drew near the Iowa city. and Immediately
the passengers made hasty preparations
TO partake of the first meal since the pre-
vious evening at 9 O'Clock, says the Chi
cago Chronicle
When the train drew up at the station
there was a rush for the depot dining
room ana fifty hungry passengers set 10
deVouring a substantial meal which had
been spread by the thrifty restaurateur
who anticipates the crowd of half starved
men, women and children
The diners had got a fairly good start
al the meal when the brakeman appeared
at the door and shouted the pleasant in .
formation that only five minutes remained
In which to finish the meal. Eyes wers
constantly upturned to the big clock on
the wall, and by the time four of the
five minutes nag passed probably as many
as ten persons had left the table Those
VINO remained were grumbling because
the railroad would not give them time to
finish the meal.
Let us all stay here until we finish
ealing, suggested a hungry young man
at the head of the table. our baggage
IS all on the train, and that conductor
Will not dare to leave forty passengers
here. If he comes in tell him to wait a
minute and continue telling him this un-
til we finish eating"
The crowd look up the suggestion with
will, and as the twenty minutes expired
the engineer began ringing the bell with
a Will, but no one budged. The conductor
and brakeman appeared in the door and
lold them to hurry or they would be left
Just wait a minute!" shouted the pas
sengers as they continued eating, and
they repeated this each time the con-
ductor or brakeman shouted that the rain
would leave in one minute.
Still no one paid any heed to the train
crew, and it required just twenty minutes
more for them to satisfy their appetites
AFTER the schedule leaving time The con-
cuctor was using language that would
not look well in print, but no one noticed
MN Many finished eating before the last
h2lf dozen SAID enough" but they all
lelgned that they were not satisfied and
stayed until all were ready. Then they
marched from the restaurant in a BODY
ana thanked the train crew for their kind
consideration of the comfort of the fam
lshed passengers. After the train had
started on its way to Chicago the young
man who suggested holding the train was
heartily thanked by all, and every Der.
son said they would remember this means
OF holding train long enough to finish
a meal.

A decision was rendered by the New
Jersey Court of Errors a day or two ago
that puts stop to the watering of
stocks of trusts incorporated in that
state heretofore it has been the prac-
tice of trust promoters to issue any
amount Of stock they pleased on plants
consolidated into a trust. In future the
amount of the stock of a trust incorpor-
ated under New jerseys laws must be
the actual value of the plants included in
the trust.
This decision was rendered in a case
brought by the minority of the stock
holders in the American Refining and
Smelling Company The majority of the
stockholders Of that company had ordered
the purchase of certain other plants, and
had authorized an increase of the stock
Of the company from $4,000, 900 to 100000
90. The minority stockholders declared
that the watering of the stock would
greatly injure their holdings. The court
gave them the protection they asked 1t
said that If other plants were purchased,
or if there was a consolidation, the
amount of the new stock issued should
be the actual value of the acquired
properties.
If this decision had been rendered when
trusts were first Incorporated under the
New Jersey laws there would be less
trust stocks by many hundreds Of nil
lions of dollars than there are. Ut is even
a question whether there would have been
a billion and more of stock issued by
the Morgan steel trust. 1t has been stat
ed that the actual value of the properties
in that trust is less than half of the face
value of its stock
The decision of the New Jersey Court
of Errors is not retroactive. At the same
time no stockholder in any trust incor-
pcrated under the laws of that state is
prevented from testing the question as to
whether the trust cannot be forced to re
duce its stock to an amount equal to the
actual value of its properties
In the American Refining and Smelling
Company's case the argument was ad-
vanced that the actual values Of the
properties OF the company were equal to
The market value of the stock it had is
srcd. The court stated that it made no
difference what the market value of the
stock was In order to prevent the water.
ing of stock the face value of stock must
be no more than the real value Of the
properties on which the stock was based
That is good law and good sense 1t is
the kind Of law that every state should
have.

LowIy Advice for the Pastor

There is distinguished divine in De-
troit who took some advice from the
church janitor the other day that he
would have resented from any other
member of his congregation or attendant
at his services, says the Free Press.
He's an old man of very decided
views relates the minister HE is loval
beyond compare and takes an interest in
enc church that many other members
might well emulate. He is also a mill
tant follower of the cross and has no hes
ltency in kicking trespassers off the
church sward if they stop to argue about
the order of their going. l was working
in my study ar the church the other day
when he entered without knocking and
squared himself in front of me to criti-
else a series of sermons l was preaching
that strongly urged right living as well
as right profession. l had borne down
pretty hard on some worldly weak
nesses.
See here, doctor said the caller.
you must let up leetle on that preachin'
of yours. You're givin' it to 'em too
strong right on the go in. l been watch

TIE or1Look IN TIE PHILIPPINES.

Maj Gen. S. B. NJ. Young. who for
merry commanded in Northern Luzon, is
now in Washington, having reached there
Sunday night. He had long talk with
the President on the situation in the Phil
| 'ppines on Monday. He is of the opin-
ion that the fighting in the islands is not
/ over yet. He thinks that at least $1,000
men will be needed there for some time
TO come.
1t seems that he does not believe that
the capture of Aguina.do will have as
great an effect as the President seems 10
think it will He points out that there are
two secret societies, which are bitterly
hostile to Americans having in their
membership thousands of the most influ-
ential Filipinos. These societies are known
as the Katipunan and the Sandatahan.
The members of these organizations have
taken most solemn oath never to sub
NIT to American rule. Each member
signed with his own blood the oath he
took.
Gen, Young states the situation as 1t
appeared to him when he left Manila.
Undoubtedly the capture of Aguinaldo mas
wrought a great change. During the last
week or two a great many of the insur-
gents have surrendered and given up their
guns. Heretofore when any considera bic
number Of them surrendered they did not
give up their guns. They buried them
showing that it was their purpose to take
up arms again if favorable opportunity
occurred.
AS far as known the number of insur-
gents in any one organization that are
still holding out is about 5000. They are
under the command Of Gen. Tino in
Northern Luzon. They are carrying on
a sort Of guerrilla warfare and are trou-
blesome.
There is no doubt that the President
believes that the insurrection is practi-
cally ended. He bases his belief OF course
on the information he receives from Gen.
Macarthur. 1t is expected that the man
ifesto which Aguinaldo has signed VIII
have the effect of putting a stop to what
ever guerrilla warfare there is. If Agui-
naldo is willing TO accept American rule
very few of the insurgents will feel that
there is reason for continuing the war.
No doubt there will continue to be re-
ports from various sources that the war
is being waged as fercely as ever. and
that there will be need for a large army
in the islands for years 10 come. An
Illinois regiment of volunteers that reach
ed Chicago on Sunday from the Philip
pines brought reports of that kind, but
it left Manila in January, and there was
not much improvement in the situation at
that time.
1t is certain that the government is not
preparing TO keep as large an army in the
Philippines as there is there. So certain
is the President that there will be but
little more resistance that he is now CIV
ing all of his attention to the establish
ment of such a civil government as
Will be satisfactory to the Filipinos.

the statement of one of the officers OF
the church, If Christian Science can per-
form such miracles as that why can it

that require the expenditure of time and

Rev. Minot ]. Savage of New York
has some ideas about heaven that are
not in strict accordance with the ortho-
dox views commonly taught. All is not
joy in heaven, he says. People will take
into the future state with them those
habits and characteristics which they
develop in this life. He expects, there
fore to find on the other side some who
have not entirely subdued their mean
ness and selhshness. There will be, he
thinks, many sources of disquiet and dis
comfort for a while over there, but they
will work out right. Heaven is spoken
of as a place of rest Mr.. Savage
doesn't want to consider it in that light.
He thinks resting would get to be the
most tiresome of all things after a Pc
riod. He wants to be active; to be at
work. He wants the poet to write
heavenly sonnets, and the artist to paint
heavenly pictures; he wants the orator
to continue to make speeches to APP
plauding and appreciative audiences, and
the scientist to continue the study he
loved on earth. Mr.. Savage thinks that
something of that sort is a rational
dream of an eternal life.

Discussing the third section of the Plat
Cuba, the Birmingham Age Herald Dem
says: Under this clause the President,
and no one else becomes dictator of Cuba
Congress need not advise, and the Su-
preme Court cannot act. No one but
the President can, and all is left by the
dangerous Plat amendment TO his dis
erection and Judgment. He can send every
ship and every soldier to Cuba without
consulting Congress. although Cuba is
technically a foreign country. This gives
him the power to declare war-a power
by the way he was quick to exercise in
China. This changes our system of gov
eminent and il does not change it in a
Democratic direction"
The Baltimore Sun Dem.) says: 1T is
to be regretted that Cuba is the first vic
tim of our new world-power statecraft.
But we had to make a start, and unfor-
tunately the Cuhans seemed to be an easy
mark. Having rejected the terms offered
by the Fffty-sixth Congress, Cuba must
now await the pleasure Of the Fifty
seventh, which does not meet until De-
cember II is to be feared that this body
will not regard the Teller resolution with
more respect than the Congress which
adopted the Plat amendment Pending

The cigarette habit is bad, even for a
burglar. In Allegheny, Pa. the other
night an enterprising burglar successful
ly forced an entrance into a residence.
Being safely in, he thought he might
as well indulge his habit, so he lit a
cigarette. The fumes quickly reached
the sleeping rooms of the occupants of
the house and awakened them; and Mr..
Burglar had a mighty close call to get
off with a whole skin. Except for the
cigarette. he would probably have made
a rich haul.

other day a case involving the question
whether it was better that a young girl

The mind-reader. who had been the child S
guardian, said she received inspiration
through her art as to the manner in
which the child should be reared. The
