RELIEF TO THE MONEY MARKET

Secretary of the Treasury COrtelyou
announced yesterday a new plan Of de-
posting government funds in New York,
Boston and other cities to afford relief to
the money market in the approaching
crop-moving period. Secretary Oortel-
you will, commencing next week, place
each week, at such points in the country
as he shall designate, government funds
to such On amount as he deems sufficient
to prevent an acute monetary stringency
and possible panic when the demand for
money is greatest at the height OF the
crop-moving period.
The plan of the secretary for none
tary relief Is new to the financial world,
and one which he believes will prove
more efficacions than the old method OF
the Treasury Department In waiting un-
til the country was severely shaken tinan-
cially and then coming to the relief at
the last moment by placing large de-
posit of government funds In New York
banks. Secretary Cortelyou did not state
how much money he would deposit each
week, though he indicated that the
amount would equal the situation.

SOUTHERN CUTS DIVIDEND.

SOUTHERN CUTS DIVIDEND.
The directors Of the Southern Rail-
way Company in New York yesterday
cut the semiannual dividend on the pre-
ferred stock of the company from p to
u per cent.
President Finley made the following
announcement:
"At meeting of the board of direc-
tors of the Southern Railway Company
the income account and results oil
operations for the fiscal year ended
June 80, last, we're considered. A
dividend OF II per cent, WAS declared
on the preferred stock out of accnmu-
lated surplus, making a total dividend
distribution of per cent, for the year.
For this purpose there was appropriated
portion of the surplus income carried
forward from the year ended June 30,
1906, after payment of dividends for
that year. In taking this action the
directors were influenced by the consid-
Grafton that the income account for
the year reflects such abnormal
and extraordinary conditions as
may not reasonably be expected to
recur. At the same time the directors
considered that under existing conditions
of high prices of supplies, material and
labor, of increasing taxes and legislative
reduction OF revenues, it was the part OF
conservative prudence to limit the dis
tribution of the profits of the company,
at least until the permanent effects of
such conditions can be fairly measured. !"
AS a result of tt e announcement South
ern preferred sold off from So to 90,
where it closed on sales of !, 900 shares.
The common stock held fairly strong,
declining three-quarters of point, to
15B.
The reduction of the dividend to this
basis is assumed to have been made on
the advice of j. p. Morgan, who got
back from Europe on Wednesday.
The income amount for the year end
ed June 80, 1907, gives the following
figures: Gross earnings, $50, O,657, ,994,
an increase over lest year of SO, 016, 555;
operating exr euses, $44, 500, 282, an in
crease of 81, 926, 143; net earnings, Sl1,.
95S, ,712, decrease of 81, 909, 5S7; total
income, $13, 7S7, 993, decrease of ST.
$50, 4SS; balance applicable for dividends
after payment of fixed charges, 81, 290,
32l, 3 decrease of 81, 938, 744.

THE TELEGRAPHERs' STRIKE.

Plans for q long struggle were carried
forward by the striking telegrapherS in
New York yesterday, while from the Of
fees of both companies came the usual
report that their business was running
smoothly and that normal conditions had
nearly been reached.
1t was officially announced that 5. j.
Small, national president, would arrive
Sunday, and that, following his arrival,
steps would be taken toward arbitration
with the companies. If the companies
still refuse to arbitrste, it was stated that
an effort would be made to invoke the
aid or intercession Of President Roose-
yelt.
Belvidere Brooks, superintendent OF
the Eastern division of the Western Un-
ion, said again that his company would
not consider any overture, and he an
nounced frankly that the company
did not desire union men in its service.
He said: 'It would be foolish to
say that we had not been for
| months anticipating the strike. We
had kept close track of union organizs-
ton smong our employees, because | will
admit frankly that we have not encour-
aged it. Ours is entirely confidential
business, the details of which must De as
closely guarded as the business OF the
United States mail. 1t is useless to be-
lieve that a union man will not be more
devoted to his union than to his en-
ployers. 1t is necessary to tell anyone
that in large number of trades labor
organizations exist, and these orgsnizs-
tions are using the telegraph in all their
business. An operator devoted to his
union is not going to give to his en-
ployer the same consideration as to The
secrecy of the business that would bC

BENJAMIN Maxim.

Capt. Benjamin Maxim died at noon OF
Tuesday, Oct. Is, at his home in South
Paris. Death was due to the general
breaking up of old age. Mr.. Maxim was
perhaps the Oldest man in town, and has
certainly been one of the most active of
his age. He would have been 93 years of
age on the 3O,h OF November. Until
within few weeks he had been on the
street as usual.
Mr.. Maxim was the youngest son of
Silas Maxim, who came to Paris in l7SS
from Massachusetts,. He married Susan,
daughter of Nathaniel Harlow of Buck
field, and settled on farm in Buckfeld,
where his life was spent until twelve
or fifteen years ago, when he moved to
Paris Hill. For the last few years be
has made his home at South Paris.
Mr.. Maxim was a veteran of that con-
flict, which though bloodless was seri-
Gus at the time, known as the "Aroos-
took War" At the beginning of the af-
fair he was second lieutenant of COM
pany of militia artillery, and when a
company was drafted from three COM
panes for the war, he was made second
lieutenant of it. He went with the COM
pany to Augusta, but was soon after
taken i'll and was sent home before the
end of the three weeks which elapsed be-
fore the hostilities we're declared off.
he later served as captain of the artillery
company in Paris.
Mr.. Maxim's wife died in 1860. To
them were born eleven children, of whom
ten survive: Maria Louisa, wife of
Benjamin J. Turner of South Paris;
Henry H., of South Paris; Olban A, of
Paris Hill; William Wallace of Paris
Hill; Franklin, of South Paris; Mrs.
Amanda NJ. Vining of Strong; Daniel
Webster, of Buckfield; and Misses Mary
and Martha, of North Cambridge, Mass.
One daughter, Rose, died some years
ago after reaching maturity.
Mr.. Maxim was member OF the Paris
Hill Universalist church, and a regular
attendant during his residence at that
place, as we'll as frequent visitor to
the meetings of the state conventions
and county associations of that denomi-
nation, and was very earnest Univer-
saliSt.
The funeral was held at p. NJ. Thurs
day, and was attended by Rev. j. H.
