ALLEGED DEAL IN MoNoN

New York, May 23.-The Evening POS,
today has the following Developments in
wan street today brought out the fact that
the Monon railway deal as announced by
D. T. Morgan a Co. probably can not be
put through unless the firm exercises an
option to buy at $50 a share about 2UO01
shares of Louisville and Nashville stock.
This stock is held under option. Exercise
Of that option would call for payment OF
Soo'OOOOU0. II the option is not exercised
however, the Gates and Hawley syndicate
which sold part of their stock purchases 10
Morgan a Co. can reclaim the whole OF
their holdings on repayment of the al
Vances and interest. etc. That would mean
the loss of control OF the Louisville and
Nashville railway to j. T. Morgan & Co
1t is to be assumed that this loss Of con.
tol VIII not take place To prevent it,
however, the firm viii he called upon 10

ent their surroundings must have been
strange, though they never lost their
self-possession or dignity. and their
eyes never wandered down the rows of
people in idle curiosity. A few of them

In a short opening speech impressed
on his hearers the necessity of educat-
ing the Maori girls. the future wives
and mothers of the race. Among the
more prominent items of the pro-
gramme was a Maori song by the
chiefs. Then Rev. F. Bennett Zone of
the native racs), who 10 devoting him
self 70 this crusade. addressed the
gathering.
In picturesque metaphor he showed
the necessity Of aiding the Maoris to-
day. who, IL official returns are to be
believed. and no aid comes from their
white brothers, are dying as a race.
In speaking about the question of
dress, Mr.. Bennett told a humorous
tals of an old Maori who came to q
northern town from q village some
miles away. one hot summers day. He
had little money and wanted to buy
European clothes in the store. He
stood puzzled by the choice of raiment.
At last his gaze fell on yellow oilskin
coat, gay with red flannel Innings. To
this he added q comforter and a SOU
wsster, and, thus attired, strutted in
the sunshine outside, his bare legs
showing below the coat. AL day he
showed of his hnery in the streets,
but in the evening Mr.. Bennett found
him sitting outside a hut with nothing
but shawl twisted around his waist.
where are your elothes?" asked the
Clergyman. TOO hot; no good" said
the old man.
In summer money 10 fairly plentiful
with the Maoris, and the natives buy
clothes and wear hAnnels and substan-
tial materials. In winter. when money
IL scarce. they are often reduced to
straits. and their clothing is of the
most fiimsy nature. This causes great
mortality. The little children especial
y suffer through the ignorance of
their mothers, and Mr.. Bennett gave
many sad instances where knowledge
of diet and nursing would have saved
the lives of the babies. In one district
the poor Maori mothers were told flour
was good food for INFANTS. Probably

Senator Platt of Connecticut is re.
ported to have to have said, in res.

republican senators who oppose the

he assumes that the republican
party has destrted the principle of
protection, at least in this instance,
and that it is in favor of building up
an industry in foreign country even
at the expense of competitive in

Titles.

| A magazine writer lately accused
Americans of an excessive fondness
for titles and in proof of his charge
pointed to the increasing practice Of
prefixing such purely descriptive ap.
pellations as "senator" or Secretary"
or Congressman" to proper names.
Granting that the magazine critic is
right, it is useless to fight fiji mly estab-
lished usage, and this particular usage
is growing rapidly. Doubtless the
tactful politician at Washington will
go on saying, "Good morning, sena
tor" or "Let me introduce Secretary
of State Blank" till the end of time.
But this is only one small phase Of
the new custom. Modern necessities
for the saving of time and effort are
