REPUBLIC IRON AND STEEL.
Dlviot nds Paid on Preferred Greater
 Than Loss In Working Capital.

From the Wall Street Journal.
 The issue of s7,OOO,OOO per cent notes by the Republic Iron and Steel company creates a fixed charge ahead of the pre- ferred stock amounting to S350000 per annum.
 The Republic Iron and Steel company offers a good example of how company can go backward while it is making good statements of earnings The following table shows the income accounts of the last three fiscal years reported: Year ended June 30: 1903. 1902. 1901. Gross profits .$4 123,499 $326O,075 $1,034 249 Imp & renewals 13S2,o59 1,0l1,2H 725, 149 Net profits ...s2 74O,900 $224sS31 309,099 T DC. on pfd..... 14270S2 1,4241O7 1,421. 4S3 Surplus ..... s1,313,S1S $S24724"s1,1 112, 3S4 sDeficit
 According to these statements, the company fairly earned the preferred divi- dends on the average of the three years, and in 1903 it earned nearly per cent on the $27, 7,191,000 common stock
 Despite this showing, however, the com pany last December found 1t necessary to suspend the preferred dividends, which are accumulative, and now 1t has author ized an issue of sl0,0OO,O0O bonds to secure an issue of s7,OOOOOO notes. The real cause of the companys troubles is found by comparing it's balance sheets. which show a heavy loss in working capital. The fol- lowing table compares balance sheets at the close of the fiscal years 1903 and 1s0O
 1903. 1900 Currents assets ........$9, ,15SSOS $S.344, ,Ss1 Current liabilities ..... 5.7O3463 1,649.265 Net quick assets ... .s3450345 $6.695. .566 The loss in net working capital during the period was sS245,221. or nearly 50 per cent. It is explained by expenditures upon the properties for construction. The company paid out In dividends on the preferred in the three years 1900. 1901 and 1902. 4.2s4000. or about N,O000o0 more than the loss in net working capital.

HYCIENlc EXERCISE HELPS.
Often Acts as Restorative Both to Wearied Muscles and Ex-
 hausted Nerves.

Muscular action is indispensable to robust health; but the amount of it that is required varies with age, sex, habits and constitution Most per- sons who are free from organic dis ease are benefited by properly directed gymnastic training. Even those em- ployed at manual labor are often inn proved by it, for only certain groups of muscles are exercised in the routine of daily work, and others remain com- paratively idls Light exercise for few minutes in the evening often acts as q restorative, both to the wearied muscles and to the exhausted nervous system of one fatigued in his em- ployment during the day, particularly if it be followed by cold sponge bath; but as rule the morning is a better time for both exercise and cold bath. Invalids may profit under the super vision of a physician, and remarkable cures are sometimes attributable in great measure to 1t, says Youths Com- panion. MIEzlAl
 No other method is quite so effectual as systematic training under an dn- telligent instructor, when this is avail- able, but a great deal can be accom- plished by home gymnastics, if per- sistently practiced. Tn these days of deficient breathing and excessive lung disease special attention should be di- rected to the strengthening of the mus cles of the chest and abdomen. The exercise should be taken daily and in the open air when the weather will per- nit; it should never be undertaken in a.sclosed room. Whether dumb-be1lB and wall-pulleys or some other meth-i od be employed, the movements should be carried to the point of inducing deep respiration. Moderate running and bicycling increases the breathing pow CT, and rowing is regarded as the best of all exercises.
 A few precautions should be observed. Nothing more cumbersome than the regulation costume of the gymnasium should be worn, unless reduction of weight is desired. The time limit at the beginning should be 10 or 15 min utes; it may be increased gradually to an hour, the rapidity of the increase corresponding to the physical condi- tion of the individual. The weight of each dumb-bell for a sound young man should rarely exceed tS-o pounds. and that of each wall-pulley should be lim- ited to three pounds. Nothing is gained by attempting too much. and the im- provemeht of months may be checked by the overwork of an hour. The slight soreness of the muscles during the first few days must rot. however, be looked upon as auAnndication of overwork.

S|NGWA HE PRODIGY
PRIDE OF IGoRoT VILLAGE AT
 THE WORLDS FAIR.
A Five Boy Wonder from the Philippines Who Has Aston ished All with His Pre-
 cocious Brightness.

The greatest child attraction of the worlds fair-the pride and pet of every visitor to the Igorot village--such is SingWa, the fye-y ear-old boy wonder, who has astonished all with his pre- cocious brightness, and holds the record of $34 given to him in a single day by American admirers. Singwa is a won derful example of the possibilities of the Filipino savage and of the natural abil- ity of the Igorot, in particular, but he is little more than that, as he is un- doubtedly an exceptional child. He was but five years old in August and there has not been an American child visiting the Igorot village who could approach the little savage in wit, fun, sprightIi- ness and real accomplishments. When the American boy in prettily starched sailor suit has been lined up beside the little savage from the Philippines the naturally biased mother of the home product has never failed to admit that the brown-skinned Igorot with no ad- vantages, but brightly colcred cloth about his hips, and a bright mind within his well-shaped little head was more than the equal of the American product.
 The surest way to spot Singwa when you enter the Igorot village is to look for the densest crowd about the grounds.
 Wherever men and women are gathered like a city crowd about street catas- trophe there you are sure to find spot of Igorot yellow dancing about in the sunshine-the happiest creature at the whole worlds fair. An habitual visitor to the village finding singwa in ridie- ulous American boy's suit of large pro portions which successfully concealed all his cuteness. queried of Dr. Hunt,

HENRIETTA CROsMAN.

One of the leading theatrical events of the season may be looked for on Monday evening at Polls when Henri etta Crosman and her splendid New York company appear m David Belas- co.'s best comedy, Sweet Kitty Bel lairs." There is reason, too, to look for the first really fashionable audi ence of the present season, and there is expected to be considerable of a rush when the sale of seats opens to- morrow morning. Miss Crosman's fine and powerful rendering of the title role in Sweet Kitty Bellairs'' has been regarded as one of the distinct triumphs of New York last season, while the play itself, Belascoan in ev- cry line and situation, was one of the most notable successes of the metro politan season. No character ever played by Miss Crosman, always a thrilling and magnetic artiste, has been so firmly drawn to fit the meas Urements of her unusual talents. The charm. beauty rand impressive reality of Sweet Kitty Bellairs," pregnant with the atmosphere of old days in Bath during the picturesque Gainsborough period. are not equalled or even ap- preached by any other pray Prices for this engagement are 8, 50, 75 cents, $1, $1.50 and $2, with the free i list entirely suspended.

ROBERT B. MANTELL.

The engagement of Robert B. Man. tell in "The Light of Other Days" this evening at Polls is an event of inter- est in that it insures an excellent per formance, MT Mantell being incapable of any other than good work in TO- mantle role. The play has proved success in New York, as may be gath cred from this mention of the New York World: "A stranger to theatef- going New York, Robert Mantell, fa- vorite of former years, appeared before a metropolitan audience last night on the same stage on which he first won recognition fifteen years ago with Fanny Davenport in Fedora" Many admirers of Mantell in former days f1ocked to the Fourteenth Street thea ter to see him in ''The Light of Other Days'' story of the days of the French revolution. The role of Mau- rice Desmond, young Irishman. is taken by Robert Mantell and Miss Ma rie Booth Russell appears first as the Countess de Ia Croix and later as the daughter. The story is replete with stirring scenes and pathetic incidents. The most thrilling feature Is the duel in the last act, in which Desmond stays his enemy and brings all things to a happy termination" Prices are 25, 35, 50, 75 cents and $1.
