British Railways In 1903.

The net receipts of the railways Of
the United Kingdom were greater in
1903 than in any of the preceding if
teen years, amounting to $211, ,634. .295,
and this notwithstanding the fact that
the working expenses for the year were
also higher than during the years
named. The lines in England and
Wales were, in proportion to the gross
receipts, the most costly to work, and
Scottish lines the most economical. The
ratio of expenditure to gross receipts in
1889 and 1903 were as follows: English
lines, So and 63 per cent; Scottish lines,
49 and SIS per cent; Irish lines. 81 and 81
per cent.
The increase in the paid-up capital of
the combined railways in 1903 amounted
to nearly $150,000,000, practically the
whole of which was required by the
lines in England and Wales. The gross
receipts of all lines increased by S., ,O00,-
600, nearly the whole of which was
earned by the English and Welsh lines,
whose length of lines open increased
over 1902 by 141 miles, the Scotch by
"a and the Irish by Sc, the total increase
being 281 miles. The number of pas
sengers carried again increased, total

AWFUL RECORD MADE
ON CAPE COD SHORES
Five Hundred and Forty Wrecks Have
Occurred There in Twenty
Three Years.

Major j. H. Willard OF the United
States Engineers office at Newport has
prepared a map of the coast from
Fishers Island. Conn, to Cape Cod
which shows the approximate location
of 1916 marine disasters within that
territory. go of which occurred prior to
1880 and the balance between 1880 and
1903. There are four distinct groups of
wrecks on the map, the principal one
being off Cape Cod. Five hundred and
forty wrecks, or more than half OF
those recorded, occurred off the north
ern, eastern and southern shores Of
that peninsula. The other groups are
off Block Island, Point Judith and
Watch Hill. These four groups COM
prise all but about sixty wrecks, which
are scattered along the shores of Nam
tucket, Martha's Vineyard and Buzz
yards Bay. A footnote states that
many more disasters have occurred at
Vineyard Haven than those indicated
and that thirty-fOur vessels were said
to have been driven ashore or other
wise damaged In the November storm
of 1898, but no record of these wrecks
is at present available.
Four hundred and forty-seven Of the
wrecks occurred in Rhode Island wa
ters. OF the vessels which sailed about
Block Island 147 succumbed to the
storms which swept that vicinity, the
eastern shore of the island being the
scene of the greater part of the disas-
ters. In the neighborhood of Point Ju-
dith, Narragansett Pier and Newport
157 vessels were wrecked, eighty Of
which were off Point Judith, twenty
four along the shore of Narragansett
Pier, fourteen in the West Passage,
between jamestown and Narragansett,
and thirty mine between and to the
south of jamestown and Newport
The last important group includes
sixtyfour off Watch Hill, twenty-f five
off Fishers Island and Stonington Har-
Dor and seventeen along the coast be-
tween Watch Hill and Point Judith.

P 1RTER DROPS
OUT OF SIGHT
Eugene Etableau Is Missing
and Employer Fears He
Has Met With Foul Play
DESERTS. HIS LODGINGS
Worry Over Shooting Mishap
May Have Upset Mind of
Man Who Has Disappeared

ALAMEDA, Feb. 1s.-Eugene Eta
bleau, employed as porter at the Park
Hotel, has been missing since last Sum-
day and his employer, Captain H. H.
Todd, fears that he has done away
with himself or has met with foul play.
Etableau, who is half-b brother of San
itary Inspector Eugene c. Mailott, has
acted as if deranged for some time,
and it was his habit to keep shotgun
in his room at the Park Hotel, as he
imagined that an enemy from Mexico
would assassinate him. He insisted
that he be changed from one room to
another so as to throw his visionary
foe off the trail
Etableau is about 40 years Of age and
spent his boyhood here. Years ago
while out hunting with Tom Cleveland
and Alex Laplant of this city Etableau
accidentally wounded Cleveland and,
fearing the consequences, shipped as a
sailor and later joined the Chilean
navy. Etableau inherited property in
Alameda from his mothers estate val
ued at $4,000, but quickly dissipated
his inheritance. Captain Todd was in
formed that his missing porter was
seen in San Francisco this week and
the police of that city will be requested
to make a search for him.

CHRISTMAS SEASON
HARD ON HORSES
More Than Two Hundred and Fifty
Fall In Street Sick as Result
of OyerfeeCing

When the various societies for the re-
lief of animals opened their offices in
Philadelphia Tuesday, after the double
holiday, they received calls from all
parts of the city requesting them TO re-
move horses stricken with paralysis
These calls were so numerous as to be
startling. In the words of an officer OF
one of the Societies. horses seemed to
be dropping like flies all over town
The Pennsylvania society received
eighteen calls between 1880 and 9 a. m.
Before the end Of the day they had re-
moved fifty horses. At the woman's
branch Of the society there was q SINH
lar condition Of affairs, that society
dealing with more than forty cases
From the veterinary hospital Of the
University of Pennsylvania the ambu-
lance was travelling all day, and about
forty cases were treated. The ambu-
lances of many large concerns which
have their own facilities for the relief
of horses were also overtaxed. The un-
precedented prevalence Of the malady
is attributed to the overfeeding Of the
horses In warm stables while they were
idle because OF the double holiday.
A peculiar feature of the situation Is
the fact that the suffering horses were
the property of large concerns from
which the animals receive the best OF
care. A moderate estimate Of the num-
Der of horses affected would be from
$50 to 300 The majority Of cases were
fatal, entailing a loss OF thousands OF
dollars.
The disease is technically known as
azoturia. and is commonly referred to
as spinal meningitis. It Is usually fatal
except In the cases Of exceptionally
young and vigorous horses.-Phladel-

TALE OF POISON
CAUSES ALARM
IndispositiOn of Mrs. Jane
Stanford Starts a RumOr
That Is Quickly Denied
EXAGGERATED INCIDENT
Mineral Water Results in
Nauseation and a Sen
sational Story Follows

A sensational story that had been In
circulation for several days TO the ef-
feet that an attempt had been made to
poison Mrs. Jane Stanford at her home
on California street was enphatically
denied yesterday by her friends Ac-
cording to the story that had rapidly
spread about town, Mrs. Stanford had
her Ill and an analysis OF the liquid had
later revealed the fact that it con-
tanned poison. The story continued to
tell how Mrs. Stanford, suffering from
nervous proStration resulting from the
effects of the poison, had been ordered
pany with her private secretary, Miss
Benner. Mrs Stanford left for the
Orient on the steamship Korea several
days ago.
The facts Of the case are that. about
seven weeks ago. Mrs Stanford one
morning drank glass Of mineral wa
ter. which nauseated her for few mo-
ments and on the advice Of friends she
had the water analyZed but without
sensational results. Being OF a nerv-
Gus temperament. she turned the mat
ter over to local firm Of detectives.
which, after a days investigation.
satisfied her that no attempt had been
made to injure her and the affair was
finally told to her friends as a joke
Professor David Starr Jordan, presi-
dent Of Stanford University, referring
to the matter last evening said:
The report that Mrs Stanford left
for the Orient because OF an attempt
at poisoning is entirely unfounded
The fact Is that Mrs Stanford was
threatened with pneumonia and her
physician advised a warmer climate
than San Francisco. 1t was for this
reason alone that she started on her
trip. She did. howsxer, tell me month
ago that she had been served with a
bottle Of mineral water which had a
peculiar taste, but she did not drink
it. She did not think for a minute that
any attempt was being made to poison
her, and I do not believe there was.

Wide Awake Is Corral.

Vice President Corral of Mexico Is
a civilian. He saw his only military
service during a revolution in the from
tier State of Sonora, of which he is a
native, and as the revolution was Of
short duration he came out of the con-
f1ict with but little practical knowledge
of warfare. He knows more about
public lighting. street traction and
municipal drainage, for he has studied
these subjects in the great cities Of
the United States and Europe. He be-
lieves that the greatest need of the
Mexican people is education and that
the future of the country depends to
large extent on the building up of
substantial middle class. He holds
that too many of the young men of
Mexico are entering the priesthood and
the legal profession and in the hope of
inducing Mexican youths to devote
their lives to useful arts and trades he
is promoting the establishment of
Mexican institute of technology that
will rival similar institutions of other
countries.-Chicago Chronicle.

lifting the robe of his long gown, de-
