BRITISH coNsoLs.
Origin and History of This Feature Of
English Securities.

English Securities.
Almost all the debt of England con.
sists of the funded debt, so called, and
the greater part of this is made up Of
"consols,' which is an Authorization Of
consolidated Stocks" of which we
read every day in the papers, and the
price of consols is the financial pulse
of England.
Consols were created in 1852 by stat.
ute 25 of George H., chapter 81. But
no scrap of paper ever represented a
consol until, to facilitate commerce, in
1870 statute was passed allowing the
government to issue certificates to rep.
resent them. The property that all the
world asked the price of every day was
unrepresented by any monetary securi-
ties until 1870, and even now very few
certificates have been issued.
Now, this is a consol, and this is its
history: Originally some one had loan.
ed the government f1OO, and the gov.
eminent had caused his name to be en-
rolled on its books as a creditor, from
whom it had received that amount
and to whom some day It might, if it
chose, repay it. 1t need never do so,
but until it did it must pay him an an
nuity of f3-that is, he received 3 per
cent on his money as long as the gov
eminent chose to keep it, but the gov.
eminent could pay it back at any
time it chose to do so. This creditor
then owned consol-that is, he owned
such debt from the government as
just described
If he wished to transfer what rights
he habitat is, his per cent per an
num-and the right to his f1OO when,
if ever, the government chose to return
1t, he could go to the Bank of England
with his transferee and receive the
purchase price from him, and the stock
would be transferred to the man pay
ing the consideration, and that mans
name would be placed on the govern
ment's book in the place of the for
mer owner, and thereafter the trans
fierce would receive the f3 a year and
the f100, if it was ever paid back. But
no paper passed except the receipt for
the purchase money which was given
by the buyer and which the bank Off
cial checked with red mark.
These receipts were not certificates
of ownership and were seldom pre-
served, never except for purposes of
Identification when the new owner
went to draw his first dividend. After
that they were destroyed. 1t is true in
old times the owner of a consol was
given tally, which was nothing but a
block Of wood with notches on it split
In two so that portion Of each notch
should be on each half, and the gov
eminent kept one half and the owner
Of the stock the other.
These showed the state of the &C.
count between the government and its
creditor, but this was an antiquated
system Of keeping accounts, brought
down from the days when writing was
little known, and at last they were
abolished by act of parliament and
burned. There were SO many of them
that when they were thrown into the
furnaces these became superheated,
and the parliament houses. burned
down, which perhaps served the au-
thorities right for keeping the anti
quated system so long.

HumOr in Journalism.

Next to million dollars a hearty
laugh is about as pleasant d thing as
one can have. Everybody really.
wants to laugh. No man and no news
paper can be really great without a
sense of humor. The Chicago Record
Herald regards the promoting OF
smiles and laughter as a part Of the
legitimate mission of the press. For
years the alternating Currents"
column of S. E. Kiser in that paper
has been daily source Of delight to
it's readers. The cartoons of Ralph
Wilder on the first page also are de-
signed to make people laugh-and to
make them think as we'll. In fact, the
humor of The Record Herald, like it's
news columns, is always clean and
kindly as we'll as amusing and enter
tanning. 1t affords a striking exam
pie of the right way to ''tell the truth
laughing."
Famous humorists contribute to the
Sunday Magazine of The Record-Her-
aid, with the popular novelists and
celebrated writer's on timely ques-
tions. Both text and illustrations are
of the highest standard of periodical
Iiterature-the new idea in Sunday
journalism perfected.

Scientists Coming West.

New York.-Preparations are being
made at the American Museum OF
Natural History to send out four expe-
ditions into as many states in the
West in search of archaeological
specimens. The first party will leave
in few weeks, two will leave in June,
and the last will start in August.
AT the head of the first party are
DR.. w. d. Matthew and Albert Thorn
son. They will go to Nebraska. where
they will confine their investigations to
the ancestry of mammals, such as
three-toed horses. Their studies en-
lists have agreed was at its flower only
100000 years ago.
The second party goes to Wyoming
for an investigation of the deposits of
the eocene period which is placed some
100000 years in the calendar of the
scientists. While DR.. Matthew and Mr..
Thomson will look for three-toed
horses. Walter Granger of the Muse
um will try to find its ancestors, the
four-toed horse, specimen of which,
almost beyond value to the museum,
has been placed on exhibition.
The third party, by going to Montana
will get into period of the history of
the world which is 100000 years be-
100000 from the present time. Scien-
lists remember it by the word creta-

del of Denver against the Adams Ex.

legged that express rates from New
York to st. Louis and Omaha to Den
yer are unreasonable, that rates be-
tween Denver and San Francisco and
Salt Lake are unreasonable, that rates
to Denver made by a combination on
the Missouri river from eastern points
works unjust discrimination against
Denver, and that the graduate scale of
rates is nnscientific and inconsistent.
The commission held that the base
rates Of "a per 100 pounds from Omaha

COLORADO AND UTAH CONCERNS
UNDER BAN OF COMMERCE
COMMISSION.
UTAH LAND FRAUDS
r. r. GRANTS SPECIAL RATES TO
C.F. G. !. COMPANY WHICH
CONTROLS

Washington.-The Interstate Com
merce Commission Tuesday forwarded
to the Senate reports of Investigations
made by its agents regarding discrim-
nations of railroads in transporting
coal and oil in the states of Colorado,
Utah, Nebraska and Oklahoma.
The conclusion is drawn that the
Utah Fuel Company and the Pleasant
Valley Coal Company of Utah, both
controlled by the Denver & Rio
Grande Railway Company, of the
Gould system, have secured large
tracts of land by securing the relin-
quishment of persons who have en-
tered the lands for small sums. gener-
ally ranging from $50 to $3.50. Many
of these entrymen are said to be
young women who do not appreciate
the offense they are committing in al
lowing themselves to be thus used.
1t is charged that the Pleasant Val
ley company has acquired 10000 acres
of land, and it is asserted that the ac-
QUESTION of much of it has been at
tended by fraud and perjury. 1t is as
serted that the Rio Grande railroad
system has been granted special rates
to these companies.
The Colorado Fuel and Iron Com
pany has received special rates from a
railroad company which is controlled
by it. This company the report
states, has declared no dividends in
recent years, but it is suggested that
"a different method of bookkeeping
would show substantial earnings"
1t is charged in the Oklahoma re-
port that exorbitant prices are
charged to domestic consumers by the
leasers of the mines. most of which
are railroad companies, who mine
much CT the coal for their own pur-
poses.
Speaking of the coal mined along
the Union Pacific railroad in Nebraska
and Wyoming. it is found that while
the officers of that road are not di-
rectly interested in the mines. that
company does absolutely dominate
the mining. transportation and sale of
coal along its line" 1t is also charged
that the company resorts to various
methods to prevent the opening of
new mines along its route. and the
conclusion is drawn that If the public
coal lands should be withdrawn the
effect would be to intensity and per
petuate the company's monopoly.

TRIAL OF TWO MEN CHARGED
WITH KILLING SECRET SER
VICE AGENT WALKER.
WITNESSES EXAMINED
TESTIFY AS TO MOVEMENTS OF
DEFENDANTS MASON AND
VANDERWEiDE.

Durango, Colo.-The jury in whose
hands the fate of Joseph Vanderweide
and William Mason, charged with the
murder of Secret Service Agent Jo-
seph A. Walker of Denver last Novem-
ber near the Hesperus mine, will rest,
was secured Friday afternoon at 3
O'Clock after fully $50 veniremen had
been examined.
The opening statement sof the attor-
neys were made before adjournment
of court.
District Attorney Pulliam opened
the case for the prosecution.
James l.. Russell, chief counsel for
the defense, then made his opening
Statements, outlining what the defense
will try TO prove.
The first witness called on Saturday
was George Goodman, the undertaken
who went to the mine to get the body
and prepare it for shipment to Denver.
Lucian C. Wheeler. the second wit
ness, testified that he came to Durango
from Denver in response to telegram
stating that Walker had been killed
and that he visited the scene of the
killing November 9th. Wheeler told
of having his attention called to the
blood clots on the ground about fifteen
feet away from the shaft.
Frank Hall, assistant United States
district attorney, testified that he had
been to the mine shaft after the killing
and that he saw the two blood clots
mentioned. He then told of Walkers s
habits in regard to the carrying of his
revolver, and said that Walker carried
.3S caliber Smith & Wessen in
holster strapped to his left side His
revolver always had four chambers
loaded and in the fifth chamber an
empty shell which was under the firing
pin
John E. Chapson told of the party in
which were himself, Callahan, Thomas
Harper and Walker, starting for the
mine the Sunday morning of the trag-
edy. With the exception of Walker
who rode horse, they drove team
and wagon which they hitched in the
gulch not far from the air shaft. Walk
er remained at the surface near the air
shaft and Chapson, with Harper and
Callahan, descended into the mine to
investigate the workings.
Chapson testified as to the finding
of the two shells when he came to the
Surface and seeing horse tracks and a
mans tracks near the place where
Walkers body lay.
He further testified that on reaching
the surface he picked up Walkers re-
volver, which was lying near him, and
examined it, finding it in the same con-
dition as when shown in court, with
but one chamber discharged and the
hammer down against this. He said
that it gave no indications of having
been fired for sometime.
