of passengers out OF Princeton u few nights

in constructing the road, furnished the
motive power, and forty business men
and their wives all in their best started

shouts rent the air when the excursion!sts
started out on their moonlight ride. The
engineer looked back from his seat in the

Three miles out from Princeton tho ex-

falling on them, and that 1t came from
the engine. for it appeared warm In com

grew the mist, and when some OF the ladies
looked at their white dresses they were
Mortified to find them almost covered with
n snoty substance, which resulted In a
smear when they tried to brush it of. The

Efforts to attract the attention OF tie

from his cab, but only bowed ard smiled

The L.. 8. Steel Corporation PAIN Dividends
to 0,9Sy, wages to $4,000 Families.

The United States Steel Corporation 10
not only tho greatest corporation In the
world In point Of capital, but also In the
number OF stockholders. All over this
country, in Canada, In England and on the
Continent holders OF Steel stocks arc to
be found.
The common ST ock books have Just closed
for the usual quarterly dividend OF per
cent, calling for IS 900 900, and It has been
found that since June s,Ol0 persons have
bought the common stock. This nakee
total Of 81, s97 common stockholders. and
is an increase Of siIty-seven new holders
for each day of the three month";, counting
Sundays. There are 34,95s preferred share
holders which makes a total Of 69,855 regis
tered, the largest number In the. world.
To this there should also be added the hold
tion who are enrolled under the profit -shar-
ing plan, making a grand total OF 07,95s
shareholders.
Census statisticians allow five persons
to a family in the United States Tn this
basis something like a5o, 600 persons derive
in ONE from Steel stocks. AS tho number
Of employees Is approximately 100 900, some
500 COD more persons get from the great
corporation livelihood through the wages
| it pays. This makes l.l5O,00O, or one
eightieth of the population Of the Unite
States who look to the Steel Corporation
| for living
10 this number might we'll be added the
| shaI eholders and employees of many OF
the great railroads ard transportation
companies which handle the immense
| traffic Of the company at Pitteburg and
elsewhere Certainly much OF the revenue
OF these companies In derived from the
operation Of the big corporation, and this
means wages and dividends for hundreds
! of thousands more people.
The corporations which approach the
81 eel Corporation in magnitude Of stock
lists are the Pennsylvania Railroad with
81 600 shareholders the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fa, with 1900; the American
Sugar Refining Company. with 5000, and
the Union Pacific Railroad, with 1900
Stockholders The greatest Of these. the
Pennsylvania Railroad, has only half 40
many registered holders. In Canada the

HIS COOK THE LIGHTNING.
II Roasted Dulduc's Potatoes and Boiled
His Fish-And Still He's Kicking!

EDpINGToN, Me-, Sept. 17.-Every fisher
man who rode out to Eddington pond last
summer paid high compliments to the potato
nat oh of Alphonse Buldrc The crop grew
in long rows which reached from the road
side to the pond, and in all of eastern Maine
there was no crop which looked so well as
Bulduc's.
July and August were cold and cloudy,
but when September came in there was
long stretch Of summer weather with bis
taring hot days and torrid nights. II ended
with thunder shower OF tropical intensity
The morning after the shower Bulduc
went ont to look ut mis- potatoes. He found
furrow four feet deep and nearly as vide
running from a pine tree blythe roadsidl
straight down to the pond. AT first he
thought the ditch had been quilted out by
the water, but resignation showed that Il
holt of lightning had hit the pine, followed
the bark down to the ground, and escaped
to the pond by way OF the potato patch.
All doubt as TO the cause Of the disaster
,vns removed when he found between FIVE
and six bushels of roasted potatoes III the
trench. The downpolr OF rain had washed
the tubcrs from the hills and left them living
bet weep the rows, and when the lightning
came il followed the course taken by the
water, baking every potato II touched and
changing the delicate skin to backened
crust And near the shore, floating on the
surface OF the pond were more than fifty
large white perch, which there was also no
doubt the bolt had killed. ~
Bulduo SAYS he thinks the lightning nsod
