PRUSSIA TO BUY RAILROADS.

Principal Lines Now In Private
 Hands to Re Taken.
 BERLIN, Oct. 16.-Prussia is de- termined to acquire six of the principal railroads remaining in private hands. The first is the East Prussian Southern, the second the Marienburg- MlaWa, the third the Altdam-Kolberg the fourth the Stargard- -Kuestrin, the fifth the Kiel-F Flensburg and the sixth the Breslau- Warsaw, the whole amounting to 55S miles, with 9,25o,oOO capital, for which the government has offered a somewhat larger sum.
 The effect on the boerse was to raise the quotations of some of the com mon stocks. and to depress others. But the preferred stocks rose within frac- ton Of the governments offer. It seems certain that the propositions will be accepted in every instance. Only two important private lines are not included in the governments scheme, the Dortmund Grona1 and the Luebeck- -Buernen roads.
 The governments plan, which came as a complete surprise to the country, is one of the first energetic steps of the new railroad minister, Herr Budde who is credited with the ambition to inaugurate new era in Prussian rail roads

TIRED OPINIONS ON STRIKE.

~ v r. n
 A bank director, a steel company or ficial and a corporation promoter give the following views on the strike situ- ation:
 The bank director:
 sI think the miners have won as things stand. They can plainly hold out a month longer, if necessary, and the public cannot. The operators must give in."
 The steel official:
 "The operators have their chance now. With all the National Guard or dered out they can gradually open up their collieries, if they have any sumption, with one proviso. They can get the men, but I am not sure they can get enough men of the right kind The law of Pennsylvania, passed in the interest of the miners, which re quires man to work two years in the mines before getting miners license may beat them.
 The promoter:
 I spent a part of last summer in England and made some investigations into English trade unions. If we are coming to what the English trade un- ion has wrought it means disaster to our future business prospects. Eng land clearly owes her decline in manu facture to the tyranny of her trade un ions. If the anthracite miners wir in this strike I think it will be na tional calamity."-Wall Street Journal

PRINCE CHEN WAS JARRED..
Was Greeted vvifh the stChinese Ma ttOnal Anthem'' Until He
 Got Tired of It.

Prince Chen, the Chinese prince inn
 perial, who lately visited President
 Roosevelt at his country place at Oy- ster Bay, was recently extensively en-
 tertained in Brussels by the city fa- thers, says the San Francisco Argo- naut. But the pleasure of his stay there
 was marred by the monotonous music which was played in his honor every where he went, whether visiting build ings, monuments, museums or dining and reviewing. After awhile, it is said, it iarred so on his nerves that he asked his interpreter to inquire what the composition was. '"The Chi nese National Anthem" was the re- ply of the somewhat surprised burgo- master of Brussels, MT. De Mot. "But we have none" was the response made by the royal guest to the embarrass- mept of the entourage. It seems that g willy European some years ago com posed sort of tum-tum, with an ac- compartment, and called it the sChi- nese National Anthem" This the gull ible city fathers have used on all ooca- sions when Chinese dignitaries were being entertained It remained, how ever. for Prince Chen to expose the composer, who had already made a neat little sum ont of his composition.

DO GOOD-IT PAYS.

A Chicago man has observed that, Good deeds are better than real estate deeds-some of the latter are worthless. Act kindly and gently, snow sympathy and lend helping hand. You cannot possibly lose by it." Most men appre- ciate a kind word and encouragement more than substantial help. There are persons in this community who might truthfully say: My good friend cheer up. A few doses of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will rid you of your cold, and there is no dan ger whatever of pneumonia when you use that medicine. It always cures.
