LITTLE CHANGE IN EARNINGS.
Small Gain of o. Per Cent for Two
Weeks in August.

Small Gain of O.2 Per Cent for Two
Weeks in August.
Railroad gross earnings continue in
about the same volume as a year ago,
the total of all United States roads re-
porting to date for the first two weeks
of August aggregating $17,615,S13, a
gain of only 0.2 per cent, as compared
with the earnings of the same roads
for the corresponding period last year.
The roads in the south continue to
make the most satisfactory exhibit, re-
turns from the Central of Georgia,
Cincinnati, New Orleans & Texas Pa
cific, Louisville & Nashville, Mobile &
Ohio, Southern & Seaboard Air Line
all showing moderate increases. In
fact only one or two of the important
roads in that section of the country
report loss, and when one appears it
is very small. In the west and south
west however, numerous systems still
report smaller earnings than last year
the most notable being Colorado &
Southern, Minnesota & st. Louis and
Missouri Pacific, though the losses are
in the main partly offset by the in
creased returns of Denver & Rio
Grande. Missouri, Kansas & Texas, st.
Louis Southwestern and Texas Pacific.
Among the roads in other parts of the
country reporting gains are the Chi
cago & Alton and the International &
Great Northern. In the following
table are given the earnings of all
United States roads reporting for the
first two weeks of August, and the gain
as compared with the earnings of the
same roads for the corresponding per
iOd a year ago. also for practically the
same roads in the two preceding
months. together with the PERCENTAGES
of gain or loss as compared with last
year:

 the true ring. Montgomery and Mobile
 each gave him a splendid ovation and
 ey erybody who met him was impressed

ANOTHER BEAUTY
 CAPTURESAL0RD

New York, July 16.-(Special)-An- nouncement has been made in London of the engagement of Miss Mildred Watts Sherman, one of the richest and most beautiful girls in New York and New port society. and Lord Camoys, a young peer of England, who came to America for the first time last winter to act as an usher at the wedding of his friend, Lord Decies, and Miss Vivien Gould.
 Miss Sherman is the daughter of MT. and Mrs Williams Watts Sherman of this city. She and her elder sister, Irene, who married Lawrence L. Gillespie, were known as the two most beautiful heir esses in America, and from time to time there have been rumors of their en- gagements to members of the nobility.
 Miss Sherman's mother was a daugh- ter of the immensely rich Mrs. John Car ter Brown, and is an aunt of John Nich- olas Brown, ''the richest baby in the world"
 The full name of the prospective bride groom is Ralph Francis Julian Stonor, Baron Camoys. He is a scion of one of the oldest noble houses in Britain. One of his ancestors was a chief justice under King Edward l, and another, Sir Thomas Camoys, was created a peer by King Richard II. The majority of the families of the British noblemen matrimonially annexed by American heiresses are of recent origin compared to his.
 Lord Camoys has been in the diplomatic service of his country and Is not rich. His ancestral home is Stonor Park.
 His attentions to Miss sherman were observed in .society and it was freely predicted, if certain objections of MT. sherman, on account of a difference in religion, could be overcome, his lord ship would win Miss Mildred.
 Lord Camoys will leave England short ly to visit the Shermans at Newport. While he was in New York he became very much interested t the stock mar ket and before he left he said he in- tended putting branch office of one of the big New York brokerage firms in London and thought he would be of service to Americans in London for the season who missed their little daily fling m stocks.

E[K0UR|E SPEAKS
 OF PROHIBITION

"I have discovered that prohibition is tut a. farce," said Dr. H. A. Elkourie. ..In the creation of blind tigers In the homes it lays down the basi of immoral ity by systematically robbing the com ,,unity of virtue and thereby instead of exerting a moral influence it has most immoral influence.
 "proof of the inadequacy of prohibition is in the indisputable fact that In pro- hibition communities the sale and con sumption of liquor has r aterially in- creased.
 with this evil augmented by disre- gard for law and temptation to furnish inferior material for consumption by the public in order that they may swell prof. it's and with the sad fact CT making bar rooms out of heretofore respectable res- idences, is to my mind adequately suffi- cient to convince the citizens that pro- hbition is a farce and an absolute im- possibility.
 'It is a recognized biblical, logical and historical proof that morals must be in- culcated with persuasion and education It is an utter impossibility to force moral ity. It is a question that lies strictly within the limitation of every individual. Morality must be enforced only by the will of each individual.
 "I am in favor of strict regulation of the liquor traffic by any r1eans, but of the three methods-prohibition, dispensa- r'ies and saloons--I think saloons are highly preferable
