of the Chicago division.
The newly appointed superin-
tendent is the brother of l.. f.
1oree, pre- ident of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad. and is
about three years his junior. Mr.. Lo-
rec was born on October 10. 1860, and
saw his first railroad service in lSS3.as
a rodman in the office of the engineer
of the maintenance of the way of the
Western division of the Chicago. st.

that the position taken by Mr.. Rawn
with the Illinois Central is but tem-
porary. and that vice president Hanra-
han, whose assistant he becomes, is to
go higher, and at the same time Mr..

HANGED cost Of materials and supplies
and the higher wages Of larbor.
1t is pointed u that had IL not
been for an advance of more than q
million dollars in the next earnings
of the five anthracite coal roads there
would have been a falling off IN the
aggregate of that important item, ana
the total return to investors would
have shown a diminution from last
wear. 'eThe tendency towards TINS
result" says the New York Journal
of Commerce." has been developing
for several months and it looks AZ
though the turning point had been
reached and there was row to be a de-
cline in the profits of the railroad bus
mess. That is by no mean the only
business in which the advance Of prices
and wages has been carrying up the
cost of operation and Of production
until net earnings or profits, begin to
show a decrease. 1t can only be a ques-
ton of time when advance in cost
will produce a reaction and turn the
course OF business upon the declining
slope"

Governor Montague, of Virginia re-
fused to sign the bill, passed by the
legislature a few DAYS ago, to place
the statue of Robert e. Lee, as of
the States contributions, in statuary
hall of the capitol at Washington. The
governor said that Lee himself would
have been the last man to desire such
a memorial and he needed one This
action of Governor Montague is to be
commended although it is not entirely
clear whether it was the proper mo-
tive that prompted it or not.
General Lee was conscientious and
patriotic and it is not possible to
conceive him of asking for "a place
among the heroes of the nation
he attempted to DESTROY. Should
his statute be placed in the canitol it
will be in order for some II to make
n motion TO remove the stars and
stripes from the dome above and sub,
stitute fer it the confederate flag. Vir-
ginia viii show eminently better taste
by sending to Washington the statute
of Patrick Henry, or Thomas Jeffer-
son. or George Washington himself.

An old railroad emloye in Baltimore
died of broken heart the other dav
because he had been retired from ac-
tive service. The remarkable part of
it is he was retired on a pension. The
railroad company very naturally as
sumed that it was the pay the old man
wanted and thought thew were doing
him a kindness. But here is one case
ouu of thousands. The mans heart
was in this work. His mind was oc-
onpied with il and his hand found the
necessary activity in doing it. Toll
is not always a blight. Most men who
feel the drudge of it do not know how
more than miserable thew would be
without it. Scientists say that work
kills a man. while it is a we'll
known fact that the hardest workers
are generally the losgest lived. Glad
stone did as much work after he was
eighty as most men do when they are
forty. His advanced years and health
We're attributed 10 his regular habit of
daily PHYSICAL and mental labor.
Many men rust out where few wear
out. IVORY means more than work. "
An optimistic temperament and "a reas-
enable amount of good hard work are
two of the important factors in health
and long life.
