C., H. & ID. MEN MEET.
Noteholders BelieUe Interests Viii
Be Safe-NO fiction Taken.

The committee of note holders of the Cincinnati
Hamilton & Dayton met yesterday discuss their
interests No definite action of any was taken
A few questions were presented 49, counsel for
the committee and he was asked TO report on them
10 the next meeting The question OF asking for
the appointment OF a co-recever for the road with
Judson Harmon did not come up. Before the meet
ing there was a little informal discussion as to
whether such thing were possible. The members
Of the committee were informed that such an ap-
pointment would be by the courtesy of the court
having jurisdiction in the case.
The committee have little doubt that their rights
will ultimately be protected by those responsible fo-
the interests Of the road. They seem. however a
little hazy on just what their rights in regard
TO the bonds. The question has been mooted
whether 1t would be possible attempt to sell the
road under foreclosure proceedings by the bond
holders before the expiration OF the sixty DAYS Of
grace allowed for the payment of the interest on
the notes. There is considerable talk about the
possibility OF such action. but little OF definite
The bonds part of the security for the notes
ana me prevailing opinion is that the bonds cannot
be sold for the benefit Of the holders until the
expiration or the sixty days. Consequently, there
car ne no foreclosure proceedings in that period
One or the most interesting questions is what
would become of the additional collateral security
Among this additional collateral IS included 7531
ehares OF Queen d Crescent stock. which, with
railway, represents a joint control of that road
The note holders do not believe that Mr. Morgan
would be willing TO sacrifice control of the Queen

LUDLAM IN DUAL PART.
Controller of City Railzray and Vice-
President of Haskins & Sells.

1t was learned yesterday that Charles s Ludlam.
controller OF the New York City Railway COMPANY
IS also Nce-president and treasurer Of Haskns e.
sells, the public accountants. who certify the an
nual reports OF the metropolitan Street Railway
system. and who made the report on the Metropol-
tan's affairs on which was based the advice Of the
bankers committee TO holders OF Metropolitan
stock 10 exchange II for the stock OF the Inter
borough Metropolitan company.
good deal of criticism was occas!oned bv the
discovery that Mr.. Ludlam was acting in the dual
capacity Of controller OF the company and exam
liner Of its affairs. He did not consider this cause
for criticism. either of himself of the company
Mr.. Ludlam explained that in 1904 his firm was
called in TO straghten out the books Of the New
York City Street Railway Company. When the
task was finished. he said. he asked TO become
controller Of the company
He accepted the place, and he explained that It
was not at all an unusual thing. Mr.. Haskns. for
instance. was for some time controller Of the Cen
trail OF Georgia Railway Company after their firm
had gone over the companys books. and members
of the firm their employees were frequently asked
TO become controllers of companies with which they
had relations.
In regard TO the report of the bankers committee
Mr.. Ludlam said that his firm had offered NO advice
10 the public. They had simply made the account
ing requested and had certified to it as correct
The advice to the public offered by the bank
ers' committee. Mr. LudIam could see no reason
why he should cease 10 be a member Of the firm of
Haskins g. Sells why he should cease to be control
Ter of the New-York City Railway Company or
why the firm should certify the company's
annual report
The issue OF $1,000 600 of bonds by the New-York
City Railway Company. their purchase by the
Metropolitan Securities Company at 70 and redemp-
ton in the same year by the railway company at
par seemed simple thing 10 Mr.. Ludlam. He said
that IL amounted only to taking money of one
pocket and putting II into another, as the Met
ropolitan Securities Company owned the entire
capital stock Of the New-York City Railway Com
asked if the securities company did have to
take the money from the railway company's treas
ury get the funds with which TO pay dividends
and he said that il parI~%5r that purpose.
The Morton Trust Company has received about
81 per OF the stock of the Metropolitan Street
Railway Company for exchange for the securities
of the merger. There has been deposited a
fraction than 30 per cent of the Metropolitan
Securities Company stock and OF the Interborough
stock. Papers have been signed formally turning
the stocks over 10 the new company and issuing the
stock of the in place of IT. This stock was
turned to the voting trustees.

FOR THE LADY OF THE HOUSE.

Spring cleaning is at hand. Here
are two furniture renovators my mother
always used. Take equal parts OF
vinegar and coal oil Tor kerosene oil as
we called it in New England), shake
thoroughly, apply with soft rag, wipe
off and rub well with another rag.
Take cup of sweet oil, half cup of
vinegar and one fourth of cup of tur-
pentine. Shake well and apply with a
rag. These are both excellent and will
make furniture look almost new.
A simple method of cleaning lamp
chimneys-hold in the steam from a
kettle, and polish with newspaper.
A strengthening drink for the aged is
made by boiling a tablespoonful of pure
honey in half pint of water.
The dirtiest frying pan will become
clean if soaked FIVE minutes in ammonia
and water.
There is no cure for whooping cough:
it must run its course. Small doses of
sulphur, from six to fifteen grains three
times day, are helpful to the patient.
Rubbing the spine and chest with pure
olive oil is good. Let the child drink
all the lemonade he wants. When the
spasm of coughing is very severe pour
a little sulphuric ether in the mothers
hand and let her hold it to the child's
nose. lnhaling it will ease the cough.

ginia doubts any longer.
When Claude was sixteen he was
at the parting of the ways. he
had had all the schooling his
father could give him and had to &c
to work. So he taught school for
over a year, saved his money. and
went to college for year on the
savings, aided by what be could earn
during the term. Then his money
gave out and he went to clerking in
a grocery store in Danville, Va,
where he again saved his money and
made arrange ments to enter college.
He matrlculat-d at Randolph Macon
College, Ashland, Va, graduating
with the degree of A. b. in 1885:
studied law at the University of Vir-
ginia, graduated with the degree of
B. L. in 1886; and has practiced law
since at Chatham, Va.
After a while he become so we'll and
favorably known that he was chosen
to Congress. and once in Congress he
so increased his reputation that he
was reelected until be had six terms
to his credit. There are not many
men who serve for twelve consecutive
years in the House of Represents

SOME TEMPERANCE NOTES.

A blind tiger" in pine tree top was
recently discovered not far from Whaley-
vile, Va. 1t was a PROSTATE tree, and
the store of liquors was concealed
beneath the needle-covered branches.
The excess of drunkenness in the local
ity, which is not contiguous to any
licensed saloon, was what led to an
official investigation. j. F. Reed the
proprietor was betrayed by some of the
men who had purchased whiskey from
him, and who told where his Illicit
''plant'' was placed.
Irving Grinnel, treasurer of the
Church Temperance Society, New York,
told at temperance meeting a dra-
matte story. "a woman entered a bar
room," he said, ''and advanced quickly
to her husband, who sat drinking with
three other men. She placed a
covered dish on the table and said:
Thinking you'd be too busy to come
to supper Jack, l fetched it to you
here And she departed The man
laughed awkardly. He invited his
friends to share the meal with him.
Then he removed the cover from the
dish. The dish was empty. 1t con-
tanned only a slip of paper that said:
i hope you win enjoy your supper.

THEY SAW THE POINT.

The following, where a moral is
clearly shown, we take from an ex-
change:
Recently church congregation ip
a little Kansas town built a new
church. To pay for it they were
obliged to call on the merchants of
the community for donations. The
merchants responded literally and
$500 was raised from this source.
The last man asked to subscribe was
John Smith, jeweIer.
81 will give you $40 if you will
allow me to add something to the
subscription list" said he.
The permission was granted and
he wrote at the foot of the list as
follows:
John Smith, jeweler, $4,000; Sears,
Reobuck & Co., OO.OO; Montgomery
Ward Co., 00.OO; John Wanamaker
OO.OO.
The church people saw this point
when the minister read from the
pulpit the list of donors to the
building fund, and since the dedica-
tion of the church no mail orders
have been sent out from that Kansas
town.

/
Marvellous Tale Comes from tn,
Bazaars OF india
A curious tale is going the rounds
of the bazasrs in India. 1t is believed
by every native that Gen. Karoki
the marvellous japanese comma n der
Is no other than Sir Hector Mac
Douald. Many persons have never
believed that the brilliant Euglish
general is dead, and not long age
there appeared in the London Times
an offer of reward of $4,000 tc
any Que who had seen his dead body,
1t is also fact that Sir Hector
was once invited to go to Japan to
train the Japanese army, and he &C.
tually mentioned it to Lord Roberts.
No honor has ever been publicly be-
slowed on Kuroki, who appears to
have vanished as suddenly and mys-
teriously as he appeared.
Even the japanese, with all their
reticence, confessed to correspon-
dent that Kuroki bad much foreign
blood in him.
Both the. life and death of Sir
Hector Mac Donald were full of ro-
nance and mystery. His txsct age
Is not known, the circumstances of
his death and burial are obscure.
What Is hnown is that Mac Donald
was Scotch crofter lad, that he en-
listed in 1871 aud that be served in
the ranks ten years. His rise to a
major general was the result of pure
soldering.
la the Afghan campaign, at Ka-
hui, on Majuba Hill and at Omdur-
man he won fights and fame. After
the Boer campaign he was given a
high command in India, and then in
1903 came the report that he had
suddenly left Hindustan .'on private
business"
Ou this business he reached Paris,
and there read in newspaper that
be was to stand court-martial on
"grave charges" Then came the re
port that Immediately on reading
this paragraph be went to his room
and shot himself.
AZ first it was decided that the
general was To be buried in Paris,
bat new surprise appeared in the
person of his widow, of whose exis-
tence the war office did not know.
by the express wish of Lady Mac
Donald the hody---or as rumor SAYS
now, the coffin-was sent to London
and unceremoniously huddled away
to Scotland in a baggage van. The
body, or coffin, was quietly, almost
secretly; buried in a public cemetery
at 6:3o in the morning. The coffin
was not opened from the time it
