UNTHiNkABLE INCOMES.
The Fabulous Earnings of the Amer
can Railroads,


The gross earnings Of the Pennsyl
tania railroad in the calendar year
1904 We're s11S,000cGo This sum is
too great to be grasped by the ordi-
nary comprehension. Only by eonl-
parison with other concrete things
can we get an adequate idea of its
magnitude
Mexico has population Of 14,00o,'
600 II covers an area equal to that
OF the United States east of the Mis-
slsslppi MeXicos annual revenue IS
$75,ooG,O0o. The next largest and rich
est of the Latin-American countries.
except Brazil, is Argentina. which has
a revenue just half of that of the
| Pennsylvania road. In the past year
or two Venezuela has stood off" the
United States. England. Germany,
France, Italy and other countries,
sometimes successively, but oftener
simultaneously. The Pennsylvania
Railroads income for two weeks
equals that of Venezuela for twelve
months. If we bulk the independent
countries of the Caribbean and of
central America-Cuba, Hayti, Santo
Domingo, Panama, Guatemala, Hon
duras, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Sal
Vador, and add to them Diaz's co,ln-
try and Castro's. we get a population
of 24.OOO,000 and a revenue only equal
to that Of the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad.
That corporation has twice the income
of the Dominion of Canada, which has
100000 inhabitants and an area
greater than that of the United States.
Except the United States. the only
country in the Western Hemisphere
which has as large revenue as the
Pennsylvania Railroad is Brazil
Belgium fills an important place on
Europes map, but that country's in
come. dollar for dollar, is only about
the same as Mr. Cassatts road. Por-
tugars income is but half as great.
The Netherlands, with its Hague con-
ferences, past and projected, has filed
much space in the newspapers recent
ly Sweden-Norway's internal trou-
bles, threatening the success Of Nor
way and civil war which might in
volve greater nations, have aroused
some concern in the world. The |
Pennsylvania Railroads earnings are |
greater than the Treasury receipts |
of the Netherlands and Sweden-Nor
way combined. They are much great
er than the revenue of Turkey and |
its old enemy Greece. They are great
er than that of all the Balkin states
.Roumania, Servia, Bulgaria and |
Montenegro-taken together.
Japan's army and navy have been
filling the trump of fame for over
a year, yet the income of the govern
ment of the 46,000O00 Japanese, in
the fiscal year 10000, was approxi-
mately the same as that of the Penn
sylvania Railroad. Only the large ma
tions exceed in revenue that roads
earnings.
And this is but one of the United
States railway lines. If the entire
American railway system be taken in
% consideration it would be hard to
ind any basis of comparison with it.
The income Of the 215,0CO miles of
-aliway in the United States in 1904
vas $2,OOO000,0 1000 This is only
small fraction short of the combined
governmental revenues of the United
States, Great Britain and France in
hat year.-Pearson's Magazine.

She fitted across the garden like q

Fifteen minutes passed, and still
Eva waited; she was becoming merry

she was trembling violently.

Slowly she retraced her steps at last,

At the side door she paused and sat
down on the broad upper step: leaning
backward she was surprised to feel her
support giving way, and then the door
swung slowly inward.

Mr.. June was frantic over his loss;
he could not imagine how his carefully
secured house had been entered. Eva
was heartbroken, for she felt that her
carelessness had led to the crime: she
knew that it had been committed dur
ing the time she had waited for Will
fred Lang.
She did not hear from her lover,
either. and in the midst of the commo-
ton Lon Swarton arrived and took the
matter in hand.
Through his shrewdness and perse-
verance the criminals were traced.
One day a terrible revelation was
made to Eva. A clever thief was in
the hands of the police, and he was
proved guilty of the June robbery.
His name was John Prentiss, alias
Itollo Western, alias Wilfred Lang!

Jews, and for days afterward she was

But in Eva June a great change had

She was so subdued, so earnest, so
enitent that Lon Swarton's heart was

AUTO DESTROYED.

Homer c. Godfrey, while driving his
1904 automobile March IS about 4
o'clock in Fairfield, near the railroad
station, met with a peculiar accident.
While coming down the Greenfield Hill
road he smelled gasoline strongly. Be
fore he could get out and investigate
the whole floor of the machine was in
flames.
Mr. Godfrey stopped the car and did
all he could to extinguish the blaze
but all to no purpose It had a good
start and the grease and oil saturated
woodwork burned furiously. In short
time the entire machine was wreck
Mr.. Godfrey said to-day he had no
idea what caused the confiagration. It
might have been, he thought, that the
earburetor overaowed and that gaso-
line had reached the n1uff1er which is
located near and sometimes gets
quite hot. The car was insured

WITCHcRAFT DISCUSSED.

Prominent New York Lawyer Speaks
to Historical Society.
AT the March meeting of the New
Haven Colony Historical society last
evening Robert J. Benedict, LII. D., of
New York, prominent lawyer and
writer on law, read paper entitled
.The Devils of Loudun, or Some Com
parsons Between Witchcraft in Eu-
rope and in New England" Mr. Bene-
diet discussed the general subject of
witehcraft, illustrated by it's manifest
atfons at Le'udun, in France, in 1882
and at Salem in 1892. He showed the
wide prevalence of the belief and the
methods used to combat it. The witch
craft in New England he asserted to
have been only a local manifestation
of the panic, slight and temporary
when compared with it's exhibitions in
England and even more on the CONT
rent of Europe.
AT Loudun, he said, the supposed
witch was burned. No one was ever
burned as witch in New England. At
Salem the penalty was hanging.
Mr.. Benedict was the guest of Judge
Simeon E. Baldwin during his stay in
this city File was the guest of honor
at small dinner party rendered him
by Judge Baldwin yesterday evening.

AN AGREEMENT REACHED.

Railroad Company Now Considering
Arrangements Made by F'iremen and
Engineers.
1t is announced that the sub-comnit-
tees OF the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers Of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad
have reached an agreement relative to
the long existing trouble between the
two unions, and that the agreement Is
now in the hands of General Manager
Higgins of the road. j#
For several weeks prominent labor
men and the committees of the two
brotherhoods have been trying to set
tie on basis of representation before
the officials of the road in instances
where men have been disciplined, the
trouble at one time threatening a Sc
rious strike. At no time has the rail.
road taken part in the settlement of
the difficulties between the two unions
and, in fact, has been waiting to re-
ceive committees of the brotherhoods
but there has been d hitch in the set
Element between the bodies until
now.
Second Vice Grand Master Shea OF
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men is quoted as saying that, in al
probability the railroad will give Out
the statement in the course Of day OF
two, but would not discuss the terms
of the agreement. Is
Mr.. Shea was not in town last even
ing, and it was stated that he was in
Providence, R. l., but that he. would
return here to-day. The other officers
refused to give out anything in refer
ence to the proposed agreement .
The railroad authorities stated that
there was nothing to be given out
yesterday, but that a statement would
likely be issued this afternoon.
