The Lake Shore Railroad Company
came over with the usual 6 per cent
extra dividend, declared about this sea-

Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railroad Com
pany declared a dividend of $12.50 a

The directors also authorized an issue

extent of 20 per cent of their holdings,

NEW YORK, March S.-Wau Street
was Jared a bit this morning by the
story from Washington regarding the
proposed "maneuvers," which the trad
ers at once took to mean Intervention
in the Mexican matters-perhaps some
thing more On the strength of it they
sold down stocks a little, but not to any
material extent, and the close observers
failed to detect much real liquidation.
Another development of Importance
was the cut in the New York Central
dividend from 6 to per cent, the
return to dividend distribution cur
rent two years ago. 1t is gossip OF
the Street that the increase in divt-
dend rate at that time was made for
the express purpose of enabling a
leading banking house to dispose of
bunch of notes, and that the increase
was not warranted by the business of
the road before or since the increase.
That the stock of the road did not
show a material decline was an evil
dence of the reasonableness OF the
cut.
Railroad earnings are not keeping
up as we'll as had been expected.
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
lost $148,00O in January's operating
revenue, and st. Paul $72,119. Denver
increased $4,000.

COLLEGE GIRLS BEST MATES.
Marry Late i'm Life and See Things in
SObcrer Light.

tBOstOn Dispatch 10 y. y. Herald
That only a small percentage OF
college girls ever figure in the divorce
court is the contention of Miss Angie
6. Chaplin. acting dean of Wellesley
College. They get married late in
life" said Miss chaplin. .Thev know
their own wants and they do no. get
rashly.
Il believe that most college women
bou the age Of %. or perhaps
somewhat later than that. The course
at college carries q girl rather Well
through the childish period the pc
riod when mere fascination might
play SO large a party. Once this period
is over the girl gains poise and sense
she becomes more serious, she losses
the ~frivOlity that many young girls
possess; she sees things in a soberer
light, and she feels more acutely the
sense Of responsibility that every pro-
spective wife and mother should have.
"Of curse there are college girls
and college girls: and the environ
ment has a great influence on the girl
herself and on her conduct in life.
In the light of figures that the
Smith alunea recently brought forth
it seems plainly evident that college
training gives a girl that force OF
character and stability of tempera-
ment which makes her look upon di-
vOrce as nO~n-eXistent and undesirable
perhaps unnecessary.
"A great many girls get married at
a time when they understand far too
little Of the duties of a wife and moth
er. They enter into the most serious
contract Of their lives in haste, with
out due consideration, without a reali-
ZatiOn of its Importance either to them
or to others.
The woman of % who is married
to a man Of her own age will usually
select one suited to her temperament,

ered just what her own nature is and
what it requires. At 25, also, the girl

ton in restraint of trade" and it
comes forward and says. MAY it
please your honors, we will comply
With your decree for dissolution. In
stead of striking with one hand. We
will strike with the four fingers and
the thumb Of the same hand"-when
1t files it's present proposition it in
suits the intelligence Of the people and
treats the decree of the Supreme
Court with the same contempt it has
shown Of the laws Of the country.
Attorney General Beckett is doing
the thing the people of North Caro-
lima wish it's officials to do-that is,
to make no compromise with the
trusts, to fight them in every way
possible, and to arouse the country to
the infamy of the trusts treatment of
the tobacco farmers in this and other
States. Public officials in North Car
olina, and other tobacco States who
are silent and who fail to throw every
of W possible, to thwart the
design of the trust, fail the people in
the most important point. The trust
people and the 'I-can-do-nothing''
type Of public officials may say that
c1al duty to perform in connection
With this case, and that he and the
other Attorney Generals of Virginia
and South Carolina and other States
were butting into the case. Very we'll,
let them say SO. AS a matter of fact,
the Attorney Generals owe this duty.
No evil can be dethroned unless you
go outside the technical limitations
and stand firmly for the people when
they are being robbed by great con-
Germs.
North Carolina has not given up the
fight against the trusts on it's own
hook and we are just getting ready
for this fight. which would have been
made vigorously in 1903 if the State
had had n real law instead
OF a Pink Tea Act, but
if the Federal Government
should permit a sham dissolution, Of
course it will make the fight in North
Carolina and other States much more
difficult. However such a sham dis
solution would at once bring before
the next session Of Congress and every
Legislature the necessity Of such new
laws and amendments to present avs
as would reach the sham concerns, as
it has reached the gigantic monopoly.
The fight is to a finish. The Ameri-
can people are not going to submit to
trust domination, and they will ono
every public official who. like Attorney
General Beckett, takes firm and for
ware steps to protect the people
against illegal monopoly.

WHAT LAW CAN Do.
A Fine and True Statement by United

(Biblical Recorder.

{BlbI1CII ReCOFHeT.)
This fine statement by United States
Judge Jeter G. Pritchard, of Ashe-
willie, is going the rounds: That you
cannot by law make an individual a
good man, in one sense of the word,
is true; but that you can by law re-
move such evil agencies as barrooms,
and thereby minimize the temptations
that beSet young men Is absolutely
true. Experience teaches US that We're
it not for the law it would be i'm pos
sibIe to maintain our government and
to protect the lives and property of
our people. This has been 50 in all
ages. and with all nations, and the
time will never come when any gov
m can exist without the enact
ment of suitable laws for the enforce
ment of its DEGREES and the main
tenance of law and order"

American Tobacco Company with the
Judges Of the United States Circuit
Court, the Acknowledgement Of Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, and South Caro-
