 dend Expected.

At this meeting action upon the regular quarterly dividend is expected. The dividends in the past have been at the rate of per cent. quarterly and this of. If declared at that rate, will be payable June 30.
 The last dividend paid by the road amounted to nearly $1,500,00O and was sent out March 30.
 The dividend payable June 30 will mark the close of another fiscal year of the road. The company officials will then be at work on the annual state Iment, which is submitted to the annual stockholders meeting in October. This statement will beat the banner one Of 1903
 The three-quarters' earnings to March 30 are s35, ,7SS, ,255 with net of $26,434, ,614. | The best quarter was the first with to- tai gross of s1S.2S5,56S. The figures have decreased for the last two quarters and the quarter ending on June 30 will have to show over s11,5OO.OOO gross earnings 1 to come up to the showing made by President Hall in his last fiscal year. His banner figures were $47,2S6,077, which was the largest gross earnings in the history of the road. The net learnings were $34,955,O1O, which were also the largest in the history of that corporation.
 The next figures thus far under Pres ident Mellen for the three quarterly statements figure to S26,4S4,614. It is be- llieved this showing will beat the rec ord both as regards the gross and net learnings.

THE BIGGEST TENT THRILLER
 YET.
Prodigious Porthos. the chasm-vault-
 ing Cyclist.


 ing Cyclist.
 Among the announced entirely new. audacious and marvellous features with which the Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers enormous shows united prom. ise to make things whoop on June IS, Prodigious Porthos, the old world fa- nous chasm-vaulting cyclist, stands, OF rather rides and flies. awesomely prom inent None of our readers having as yet seen this heroically phenomenal performance, the following summary thereof. taken from a detailed descrip- ton, accompanied by a half-page illus tration, published in the New York Evening Journal of March S last, will be found of general interest:
 The bicycle used is of the ordinary safety pattern, except that two sta tionary pocket stirrups to hold the ri der's feet are substituted in place of pedals, which, as it will be apparent, would be worse than useless. Thus mounted and grasping the handle-bars with a grip of steel, Porthos starts from platform ferty-five feet from the ground. Before him lies, at an incline of forty-fve degrees, a board path, less than three feet wide and hundred feet in length, which at the bottom ends in sharp upward curve, directly in line with and separated by break of some fifty feet from another platform ten feet above the ground. A gentle shove from an attendant and Porthos is off on brief but fearsome journey, the ending of which no man, not even him self, can foretell. Should his wheel swerve single inch from the required direction, or he, for the fraction of second, lose unfiinching coolness, abso- lute perfection of control. concentration Iof instantaneous observation and su- lpreme possession, deadly disaster lrides with him. So rapidly does he gather speed in his furiously fleet de- scent that he flashes like a misty streak across the sight. and almost in | the twinkling of an eye has reached the summit of the curve referred to, and he and his wheel soar upward and head | long high in air The momentum de- creases until they seem to hover in space, then the bicycle dives downward and, directed by an instantaneous deli cateness of manipulation, imperceptible to the dazed and dunlfounded on-look- 1 CTS, lands on the receiving platform which it's two wheels must strike at practically the same moment, as other wise there would be a dreadful finish, fright then and there. But seemingly superhuman nerve and skill have tri- umphed, and Porthos rides placidly down gentle incline, after what might not inappropriately be termed race lwith death.

The "Auto-spin"
 Freezer.

HIN the basement you vii
 N find a demonsfratioI of a new sort of ice crearE freezer that seems to havA some wonderful advantages It is called the "Auto-spin,1 because it almost turns Il self-and if you have evd grunted and perspired ove the crank of one of the old fashioned freezers, you wi recognize that as a powerf& advantage to start with. E
 Again, the principle of tfk "Auto-spin" is most ingeH' ously scientific. No cold wasted in chilling the ird parts or in forcing itsa through a thick layer of fro en cream to reach the u frozen center. It is a wo derful ice-saver, as well as muscle saver. It takes strength at all and very lit time.
 Look it over and try sol of the cream it makes.

.'Tell me-" said Kent, his Indifference
vanishing in the turning Of a leaf
well, to begin with, Miss Brentwood
is still unmarried, though the gosstps
say she doesn't lack plenty Of eligible
offers"
Half Of that I knew: the other half
took for granted. Go on"
Her mother, under the advice OF
the chief of the clan Brentwood, has
been making lot of bad investments
for herself and her two daughters; in
other words, she has been making
ducks and brakes of the Brentwood
fortune"
Kent was as deeply moved as II the
loss had been his own, and said as
much, craving more Of the particulars.
Il can't give them. But 1 may say
that the blame lies at your door,
David"
"At my door? How do you arrive
at that?"
"By the shortest possible route. II
you had done your duty by Elinor in
the Croydon summer, Mrs. Brentwood
would have had a bright young attor-
ney for a son-in-law and adviser, and
the bad investments would not have
been made"

lips

Kent let slip a hard word directed
at in-advisers in general, and Loring
took his cue from the malediction.
You swear pretty feelingly, David.
Isn't our property as good thing as
we CT the Boston end have been crack
ing it up to be?"
"You know better about the financial
part Of t than / do. But-well. you
are fresh from this anarchistic conclave
at the Opera-houSe. You can imagine
what the stock of the Western Pacific
or of any other foreign corporation do

in six months after Bucks and his
crowd get into the saddle"
You sneak as if the result Of the
election were a foregine conclusion,
hope it isn't. But we were talking
more particularly of Miss Brentwood
and your personal responsibilities"
The belated train was whistling for
the lower yard. and Loring was deter
