NEW YORK, July 30-Drectors OF the II
linols Central are due to meet IN New York
today Tor action the semi- annual dividend.
They will have before them preliminary re-
port on the eompany's earnings in the fiscal
year ended with June. Market estimates of
those earnings. based on reports OF the road
for ten months. were that the full per cent
dividend would not be earned during the year
There has been a great deal of market discus
sion as to the payment of the full rate
Local banking interests believe the regular
3'3 per cent semi-annual payment will be
made Some other interests expect a reduc-
tion. The recent action Of the stock has IN
dicated a continuance Of the regular rate.
The Illinois Central is understood to have
borrowed s7s0,oOO recently from local bank
at ei2 per cent. This is considerably better
than floating short term notes on a 7 to s per
cent basis as some other roads with good
credit have done

A REAL LUCKY PENNY.

Renders of The Outlook will remember
the genesis Of the Christmas Stamp. 1t
was q Danish postmaster, Elmer HoIboell,
who dreamed the dream of beneyolenco that
has built in Denmark a large sanatorium
for ,ubercular children, three cOnvnlescent
homes for those who are getting well, and
a hospital in Copenhagen for children born
to u worse fate, if that is possible-with
the faint of syphilis. And all over the
world the little stamps have become bullets
in the war on the White Plague which
humanity is at last in the way of winning.
Postmaster Hotboell has dreamed aDoth-
er dream. 1t was while he was lying i'll III
Il hospital, threatened with the loss of his
sight, that it came to him with results even
swifter than those which attended his first
vision. Tho "lucky penny was born this
winter, and already it IS iustlfylng its name
in other lands besides his own. The warm
hearted friend of the children wrote to tell
me Of his Joy in it, and here is the story.
"You remember, " his letter runs, CLANS
Andersen's story of the little girls grief be-
cause she could not so to the funeral OF the
pug, not having the suspender button that
was the price Of admission. 1t came into my
mind while I lay with bandaged eyes, and it
worried me, for the sorrows Of childhood are
as real and as bitter as those Of our older
years. And naturally | thought of the poor
blind, whose lot is getting even harder as
more and more the work Of their hands is
displaced 10y the products of our age of
machinery. All at once l saw the way to
start every Danish child IN life with q ray of
sunlight that should make the little one rich
and shed its radiance down the dark way so
many have to tread. That was how the
lucky penny was born"
This is how it does its work: By arrange
ment with the association, "Denmark's
Blind" every Danish midwife presents to
the happy father OF q newborn child at the
psychological moment the penny, together
with a post-otfice money-order blank that has
this note in the margin; ON the occasion of
my child's birth | give --- to the needy
blind, acknowledging receipt of my child's
lucky penny" and over all the device, ga
gift from one who sees the light for the first
time to those who will never see it."
The amount is left to the giver. 1t may

MILAN, July 20-A great sensation has

partment Mt the Ministry Of Wan ~ Rome,
on the charge of selling army secrets to
Austria relating to fortiticatlons, o new pat
tern of guns and plans for mobil cation,
Ike arrest was ordered by the Ministry
of War, which, for three months had had
the Count under strict observation, and
Iately, it is alleged, succeeded IN selzln8 on
the Vienna Express full evidence OF his
guilt.
The authorities rnided the Counts villa
near Ravenna at 7 A. NJ, entering the VIM
dows with revoIvers ready.
The examination of documents lasted till
night.
As usual there was a temptress in the case
in the person of the Counts mamorAta a
beautiful Austrian adventuress, who, 1t IS
said, cultivated. his acquaintance IN Rome
for the purpose of espionage.
The Counts a married man with four
sons, more than one holding Government
posts, and two daughters, one of whom,
named Elena, who is u student at Rome
University, the Gioruale d'Itali@ says, acted
as intermediary for discriminating cores
pondence arriving from Austria.
The Count has had Il somewhat romantic
career. He welded the pretty daughter OF
a small inukeeper. He attracted public at
tention in 1905 by attempting to shoot blm-
self through the heart. He was a fine I'M
guist and full of life and great ambitions,
but was dismissed from his post two years
ago for unsatisfactory conduct.
Although the accused man is said to have
received large sums of money for his acts
of alleged high treason, he is heavily IN
debt.-N 7. Times, July 21st.
