LABOR HAS BIG SHARE.
81. Out of Every 500 Earned Goes
to Railway Employee.

WAT became OF the S2,5S5, 91S,0 600
gross earnings of the railroads CT this
country last year is question which
1 w. c. Brown, senior vice-president o.
the New York Central, set about to
earn little while ago. The result
Of his Investigations has been made
/ public, and in doing so he answers
| The question.
| Mr.. Brown says ST. out of every
| 300 earned by the railroads in 1907
was almost Immediately redisbursed
in payment for labor or equipment and
material, of which labor forms by far
TIE largest component part. He says
that the railroads receive more and
keep less than almost any other de-
partment of business activity in this
country.
Out of every 500 earned by t9e
railroads, he says, only 50 goes to The
owners. the shareholders representing
less than per cent. on the face value
Of the securities.
The result OF Mr. Browns investi-
gaticn was contained in an address
made last week hv him before the
Illinois Manufa cturers' Ass ocation.
"In mileage the railroads of the
United States approximate 225.00C
miles," said Mr.. Brown. They en-
ployed in 1907 in the neighbcrhcod OF
1.675.000 men, and their gross earn
ings amount to s2,5s5,913,0 900. or more
than 100000 for each of the 3G5
days of the year. Figures of this
magnitude can be better comprehend
ed by comparison, and it may be stat
ed that the number of employees on
the pay rolls Of American railroads
in 1907 was only about 10000 less
than the standing armies OF the Uni
ted States, Great Britain, Germany,
France and Japan combined. Their
gross earnings were three times the
total revenue Of the United States
government; Twenty-Five times the
total gold production of the United
States, and six times the gold pro
ducticn of the world. New Yorj

Cause for Alarm.

An elderly patient in the Tennes.
see mountain region was suffering
from a malady the remedy for
which the doctor prescribed in the
form of capsules. The old woman
trusted her medical adviser. but for
medicine she evinced much suspicion
Some time after she had taken the
capsules she was asked by her son
how she felt.
"Porely.'
Don't you want nuthin's to eat?'
NO"
Soon, however, the old woman
arose from her bed and took her seat
In rocking chair. Thinking that the
attention would be gratefully receiv-

Havana Cigars.

We have already seen what the pure
food law has done in the case of whis-
key. The demand for exact definitions
and descriptions has brought out the
fact that no living human being can
tell what whiskey is. Suppose the
whiskey rules were to be applied to
cigars and tobacco. What state of
mind would smokers be in if the to-
bacco people were required to define
Havana cigars?" AS it is, there ex-
lists strong belief among consumers
that Havana cigars are constructed
of the choicest Connecticut and Penn
sylvania stock, but if the manufacture
ers were once forced to the admission
that they really don't know what Ha.
vana cigars are, the uncertainty would
be distressing. Most of the Havana
cigars now sold are an awful mystery

SISTERS TRICK
But it all Came out Right.

How a sister played a trick that
brought rosy health to coffee fiend
Is an interesting tale:
Il was a coffee fiend-a trembling,
nervous, physical wreck, yet clinging
to the poison that stole away my
strength. l Knocked at Postum and
would have none of it.
"One day my sister substituted a
cup of piping hot Postum for my
morning cup of coffee but did not tell
me what It was. l noticed the rich
ness of it and remarked that the COT
fee tasted fine, but my sister did not
tell me l was drinking Postum for
fear l might not take any more.
"She kept the secret and kept CIV
ing me Postum instead of coffee un-
til l grew stronger, more tireless, got
better color in my sallow cheeks
and clearness to my eyes, then she
told me of the health-giving, nerve
Strengthening life-saver she had CIV
en- me in place of my morning coffee
From that time l became a disciple
of Postum and no words can do JUS
tice in telling the good this cereal
drink did me. l will not try to tell
it. for only after having used it can
one be convinced of its merits
Ten days trial shows Postum S
power to rebuild what coffee has de-
strOyed. There's Reason"

COLONIAL THEATRE.

Bernard DAILY, the sweet singer Of Erin.
appeared last night at the Colonial in
his latest success, Sweet Innisfallen.'
The play is an Irish romance of the
type made famous by Chauncey OlcOtt
Mr.. DAILY is heard in a number of Irish
songs which are most enjoyable features
OF the performance. His beautiful tenor
voice delighted the large audience and it
called for repeated encores. The songs
are Mr.. Days own composition and
the charming melodies we're interpreted
with great feeling. The favOrite was
Sweet Innisfailen,' which describes the
island from which the play takes its
name:
In Ireland's fair cline, by the lakes Of
There's a dear little spot, Innisfanen by
name;
With its ould ruined shrine. haunted
grOttOes and fairies;
Sure i'm song and in stories you've heard
As you wander along through its valleys
and dells,
You can hear the sweet sound of the
mOnaS try bells,
ToIling a welcome for all to the gates
OF sweet Innisfallen, the gem of the
lakes
Youth and an attractive personality,
combined with his marveIOusly sweet
voice, are advantages Of which Mr. DAILY
is possessed and with his knowledge Of
the technique of the stage he gave an
admirable presentation Of the role OF
Larry OConnell. He appears as a wan
dering vagabOnd, but the play dtsclOses
that it is a part assumed for the purpose
Of discovering the husband of his dead
sister, who was married under an as
sUmed name. Larry also assists i'm free
ing an innocent man from the charge Of
murder and in bringing the real villain
to justice
The play itself. though making an adj
mirable medium for the display Of Mr..
D8lys peculiar talents, is loosely con-
structed and it is not always easy TO
follow the thread of the story. 1t lacks
unity and CleaTness, That it is a true pic
tuTe of Irish village life and is admirably
staged add to its effectiveness.
The company presenting Sweet Innis-
fallen is good. The difficult role Of
Miles Regain as played by Victor Harvey,
was exceptionally well done. He de-
scribed murder in thrilling manner, and
his own death struggle was a mastery
performance. IT was not unpleasantly
seusat ional, but won applause for its
realism. Squire Carlton, by Norbert A.
Myles, was also well done, and other
parts were acceptabIy taken. except in
the case of Grace Moore, played by Mar
gUerite Hart. 1t was utterly cOlOrless.
Sweet Innisfallen' is, on the whole, one
Of the most attractive productions seen
at the Colonial this season. Tt will run
the remainder Of the week with Wednes-
day and Christmas day matinees.
The company was delayed and the cur
tain did not go up until 9:l5 last night.
