There is a considerable holding of the in
come bonds of the Peoria & Eastern by
Western men, and the following from the
Wall Street Journal regarding the advance
in these securities will be read with inter-
est. The Wall Street Journal ascribes the
advance to the operations of inside inter-
ests who feel quite certain that the earn
ings Of the road the coming year will be
highly satisfactory because Of the good
crops throughout the territory served by
the road. AS regards the income bonds 1t
Is practically certain that the per cent.
coupon will be paid when it falls due next
April. and would make the second interest
disbursement, the initial payment having
been made last April. Bond experts say
that these bonds are good investment,
but 1t is pointed out that the interest is
payable annually. which feature is not re-
garded as an attractive one. With regard
to the stock, which has shown considerable
strength, persons well informed say that it
will be a long time before 1t will receive
dividends. The road is controlled by the
Big Four. and 1t is against the policy of the
Vanderbilt roads to begin dividends until
IT is reasonably certain that they can be
continued without interruption.

Officials Of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
are investigating a systematic fraud car
ried on in Washington, similar to that I'M
earthed in Chicago several months since, In
which the perpetrators were successfully
prosecuted. Recently a number of passes
and tickets for transportation out of Wash
ington have been taken up by conductors,
who recognized the moment they were pre-
sented that they had been tempered with,
and they were Immediately forwarded to
Passenger Traffic Manager d. b. Martin at
Baltimore. The destination on these passes
had been cleverly erased and the names of
distant cities in the West substituted The
fraud was readily recognized by the con-
ductors for the reason that the passes for
points near Washington bear different sig
natures from those to cities of different
divisions. The investigation was FASTENED
as the railroad officials are determined to
break up the practice before the Grand
Army encampment at Washington, when
the city will be filled with strangers and
people easily victimized. The loss, of
course, falls on the unsuspecting travellers
who buy the fraudulent passes and who
are compelled to pay fare when the fraud is
discovered.

The Printers Devil.

The familiar term printers devil"
as applied to the boy of all work about
a printing office, is said by the Fourth
Estate to have originated with Aldus
Manutius. He employed small negro
boy, a curiosity in those days in Eu-
rope, who became known as the Lit
tie Black Devil" Printing was then a
mystery. and superstition spread that
Aldus was invoking the black art and
that the negro boy was the embodi-
ment Of Satan To correct this opinion
Aldus publicly exhibited the black boy
and declared: BE it known to Venice
that /. Aldus Manutius. printer to the
holy church and to the doGe. have this
day made public exposure Of the print
er's devil All those who think he is
not flesh and blood may come and
pinch him"
