Harahan, who was presiding, summa' rily. closed the session. Later through the power given by the by laws tae minority, who truly represent the in terests of the Illinois Central stock. holders, called special meeting whereat offered "a resolution of In. quiry into the evident padding Of the accounts. Such inquiry was necessary.
 Accounts Jugs!ed.
 "1t appears from the annual report of the Illinois Central company for the year ending June 30, 1907, that there was an extraordinary increase in the net receipts of the corporation during the last four months, which increase is wholly inexp!icaDle and obviously 1n- consistent with the facts upon any proper accounting and clearly made for the purpose of producing favorable but fictitious showing. The first third of the year showed an increase in net receipts of S665,OT0; then came the change in the presidency, and in the next third of the year the net receipts decreased by $572,7 ,7S6. Finally, in the last four months, they were sud denly increased by $1 ,253, ,Ss9, of which increase $G04,751 is reported as made in the single month of June. This pal pablo misstatement was further en- phasized by the fact that, although nei- ther the mileage nor the operating con- ditions had changed in the slightest degree, the succeeding month of July showed a falling off of $35,09S in net revenue as against the reported gain of $604, ,751 in June. Yet my resolution of inquiry was referred for report to the president, the very officer who had brought the accounting directly under his own control, and of course its whole purpose was defeated.
 "The repeated requests of large num- bers of stockholders that I not only their holdings at the meeting, but also address the stockholders at large in advance thereof, is sufficient excuse for this letter as well as for the inclosure herewith of a form of proxy running to two of my colleagues in the board, Charles NJ.

HEARST NOT A CANDIDATE.
Editor Declares He Will Not Run For
 President on Any Ticket.

President on Any Ticket.
 New York, Sept. 24.-William Ran- dolph Hearst took occasion to deny that he was candidate for the presi- dency. ''I am not a candidate for the presidency on the Independence league ticket or on any other ticket" he said, "and I cannot conceive any conditions under which 1 would be willing to be- come a candidate. I do not say this in the Rooseveltian sense, publicly de- clining the nomination and privately working to get it, nor do I say it through any feeling of pique or dis appointment at the result of the late election.
 T am well satisfied to be a private citizen and to labor through the league and through the election of others to promote the principles I believe in. I dislike holding office, I dislike running for office, and dislike particularly be- ing placed in a position where the sin cerity of my principles can be question. ed through campaigning for an office that l do not want and that I would only consent to hold through sense of public duty as would serve on a jury."

Oriqin of Altar of Roses.

The preparation of the famous altar
Of roses, according to the Circle, seems
TO have been discovered by accident.
From India we get the tradition. The
favorite Sultana of Sehanghir caused a
bath of rosewater to be prepared for
her use. The burning sun of India
brought its might upon the bath pre-
pared in the royal garden and soon
globules of oil were found floating up
on the fragrant water. Deeming the
bath impure and attempting to skim
off the film, the attendants broke the
globules, and at once the garden was
filed with fragrance. The finest es-
sence is not gathered from the rarest
and most costly flowers, for the fra
grant oil glands are most abundant in
the petals Of the free blooming, old,
common kinds.

MoNoPoLIEs ANb RINGS.
OIden Time Schemes For Obtaining
Wealth and Power.


The. evil of monOpolies and rings was
known to ancients, Aristotle referring
to them in his Politics and then, as
now, it was found necessary to hold
them in check by legislation. The mo-
nopolist was in Roman law called a
dardanarius and punished under the
Lex Julia de Ammonia. MonOpolies of
clothing, fish and all articles of food
were prohibited by the Emperor Zeno
under pain of confiscation and exile, so
that it is certain that the rings Of
the ancient days were as miSchievOuS
as they are now. AT Athens law linn
tied the amount of corn a man might
buy. The earliest recorded instance we
have was a corn ring.
There is an ancient tradition that the
king who made Joseph his prime min
lister and committed into his hands the
entire administration of Egypt was
Apepi. Apepi was one of the shepherd
kings and ruled over the whole Of
Egypt as Joseph's pharaoh seems to
have DONE The prime minister during
seven years of remarkable plenty
bought up every bushel of corn beyond
the absolute needs of the Egyptians
and stored it. During the terrible fam
inc that followed he was able to get
his own price and bartered corn sue
cessively for the Egyptian money, cat
tie and land and, taking one-fifth for
pharaoh, made him supremely wealthy.
1t was not merely provident act, but
a very polite one, his policy being to
centralize power in the monarch's

He was a stranger in town. The
clerk of the hotel had neglected to call
him until twenty minutes after the re-
Quested hour. and as consequence he
had but short time for breakfast be-
fore he must leave for his train.
Going into the dining room, he walv-
ed the formality of having the chair
leisurely pushed under him by the
head waiter, and, accosting one of the
dusky servers. he commanded hur-
riedly: sa5

larity of size and shape. When the
tray was lowered sufficiently to bring
the contents of. the dishes into focus
the traveller saw his breakfast-five
dishes of steaming oatmeal, accompa-
MED by five miniature pitchers OF
cream
The negro beamed with satisfaction
at the rapidity with which he had exc
