Big Earnings of Railroads.

More than 81 100000 in operating
income will be earned by the railroads
Of the United States for the year end
ing this month.
An interstate commerce commission
report showed that during the 10
months ending April, operating rev.
enues Of the roads amounted to ST.
797,817,962, indicating total Of ap-
proximately $3,360,000,000 by the end
Of the fiscal year, and operating ex-
penses were $1,s27s16,ss0, indicating
total Of about 100000 for the
year.
Net revenue from railway operations
during the 10 months was $970,001,-
082, but deductions for tax accruals
and uncollectable revenues brought the
recorded operating income to $S4S,-
542,135. Operating income per mile Of
road was $3703 for the 10 months,
compared with $4,000 In the same pc
riod last year.
In the eastern district the operating
income per mile was $685., compared
with $6019, last years period; in the
southern district, $2S17, compared
with 1876, and in the western district,
$2783, compared with $3.50.

actly as it is now being presented in

said to have broken every record of
the stage history Of that city as to
attendance and receipts. All scenes
as we'll as the lesser details of the
picture are accompanied by a SYM

for which has been especially COM
posed. Other effects making for a
greater realism in the picture will be
shown with the picture. When In

BY the rude bridge that spans the flood,
Their flag to April's airs unfurled.
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the
world.
The farmers of Lexington carried
the cornet or standard of the Three
County Troop. This banner was de-
vised in the counties Of Essex, Suffolk
and Middlesex, Massachusetts, In 1863.
The Office of color bearer of this troop
was q sort of inheritance in the Page
family. The standard was carried In
King Philips war in 1915. When the
Minute Men were organized Nathaniel
Page III Of Bedford took the old flag
for use at drill. At the midnight alarm
Captain Page snatched up the stand
ard and carried 1t with him to Con-
cord, where it waved above the
smoke of that battle"

apples are now in, the former quoting
at So and the latter at &c.
Potatoes-While the offerings of old
spude are rather light and advices
from shipping points are few and far
between, the market holds firm at
previous quotations. New stocks con
tinue to be more plentiful, but there
has been no change in quotations dur
ing the week.
Other Vegetables-Gre peas are
a little easier at 5@6c as is also rhu-
barb at az @3c. Cukes are off 25c at
75@1.OO and dry onions are firmer at
$3.25@3.50. Tomatoes have declined
SOC at S1.50, and the hot house variety
is offered at 121ac per pound.
Wheat-The between-seasons lull
still holds in the wheat market. There
fish stable quotations, and the alb
sence of demands, coupled with the
generally weak undertone, has result
ed in an inclination to weakness in
the matter of quotations. The alb
Sence of tonnage has prevented even
the limited movement that has been
in evidence during the past few weeks
and the movement eastward has also
been restricted. In general there has
been some recovery following the last
crop report, which indicated a falling
off of something like 300 100000 bush
els in the crop of this country, al
though the big surplus of spot stocks
keeps the market heavy and unrespon-
sive.
Feed-In feedstuffs there has been
no further change since the decline
noted last week. Oats are steady with
quiet demand, while barley still holds
up. Feed wheat is decidedly weaker
in sympathy with export. Mill stuffs
hold at the recent decline with linn
tied stocks on hand.

General Trade Conditions.

Bradstreet's says: Trade currents,
following the reaching of maximum
expansion, seem to indicate further
gradual contraction, at least as re-
CARDS new buying. But the situation,
except in a comparatively few lines
lumber for instances strongly but
tressed by filled-up order books which
insure activity in industrial quarters
for some time to come. Lower ocean
freight rates, enlarged dividends, evil
dences of renewed heavy buying of
steel for foreign accounts and the per-
fecting of a $50,OOO,oOO loan to Russia
are also significant features. Notwith-
standing that the time for seasonal
quiet has arrived, activity in essen
tials is marked. There has come or
derly, steady buying with evidence Of
a prudent disposition to eliminate up
building as we'll as to guard against
sudden downward shifts in prices.

N " INCIDENT OF Revolutionary
times finds more vivid and
dramatic contrast in this day
than the first trip of the Lib
erty Bell from Philadelphia, writes
John A. Sheath. ex-state treasurer Of
Pennsylvania, in the Philadelphia
Press. That trip was to Allentown a
year and two months after it became
the Liberty He'll, at the time when
Howe's army, victorious over the Con-
tinental forces at the battle Of the
Brandywine, was advancing for the
capture Of the city.
When the bell left for the San
Francisco exposition last year it de-
parted with the God-speed of the
whole undivided city. 1t was escort
ed to the train by the First city
troop and by the great assembage
gathered for the Fourth of July exer-
cises on Independence square. 1t
passed through streets thronged with
generating people. On the train it
was under the escort of large body
delegated by the constituted munich
pal authorities. It's passage across
the continent was a triumphal prog
ress. A hundred cities along the
route poured out their citizens to do
it reverence as it passed and it was
received at the other rim of the con-
tinent in reverential awe by count
less multitude.
Contrast With First Trip.
That is how the Bell travels today.
1t was very different in September,
1777 On that first trip to Allentown
it went, not in daylight, but in the
dead of night. Not with the music of
bands and escorted in honor by null
titudes, but in silence and under the
guard of only one man. 1t went not
in special train but in a creaking
old farm wagon loaded with manure,
the better to conceal it.
For at that time there were many
Tories in Philadelphia. These includ-
ed families then counted among the
foremost citizens. When the city was
evacuated by the Continentals, these
Tories came out of the obscurity in
which they had been prudently lying
and began preparing a welcome for
Howe and his army. The following
winter was a time of rare festivity
for the British officers.
The British were expected by the
city authorities, upon taking posses
sion, to confscate the church bells as
spoils of war for the purpose of mold
ing them into cannon. That was rec.
ognized as one of their rights as cap.
tors. 1t was to prevent this seizure
that the executive council ordered the
removal of the state house bell and
the bells of Christ church and of
nine other churches to Allentown by
way of Bethlehem | don't know why
Allentown was selected unless it be
that 1t was far enough away to keep,
the bells safe from the British.

Continental army, was one of those

People are realizing more and more
every day that the kidneys, just as do
the bowels, need to be flushed occa-
sionally. The kidneys are an elimina-
tive organ and are constantly work
ing, separating the poisons from the
blood. Under this continual and per-
petual action they are apt to congest,
and then trouble starts. Uric acid
backs up into the system, causing
rheumatism, neuralgia, dropsy and
many other serious disturbances. Doc

vocates that every one should drink
plenty of pure water between meals.
Every day should exercise in the out

Almost Purely ViraInian.

The fundamental philosophy Of
the Declaration Of independence is
almost purely Virginian. George Ma
son of Fairfax county, one Of the
greatest of our early statesmen, had
for years been promulgating the doc
trine of independence.
"The Fairfax County Resolves, Of
which Mason was the author, were
adopted July 10, 1774, in Alexandria,
then the county seat of Fairfax. These
resolutions were 26 in number and, as
written by Mason, were unanimously
adopted. This was absolutely the first
clear and emphatic statement of the
rights of the colonies.

America the Hope Of the World.

Quite as we'll as the fathers, we
know that the hope Of the world lies
with us. In an epoch of darkness Eu-
rope sees the light breaking here. In
response to the trust of the world our
own high purposes must be translated
from vague aspirations into concrete
programs and constructive action.
Each man and woman must ask:
How far can | give myself to my
country and the world, by striving for
the realization of Justice and right in
my own commonwealth?
