cient to pay per cent dividend on
its preferred stock, with no earnings
whatever for its $4,000, 600 of common
stock. according to figures presented
by the company to the public service
commission yesterday afternoon dur
ing the hearing on the Company's pc
tltion for increased rates. These fig
ureS are based on actual earnings for
the first four months of the year and
estimated earnings for the remaining
eight months.
While members of the commission
nave given no intimation as to the
ultimate decision in regard to the in
crease asked by the company. it is
stated, from what is considered to be
reliable authority, that the commits
Sion will grant the w. B. K A. the
same Increase that they gave the An
napolis Short Line-about 20 per
cent increase in commutation rates
and practically a three-cent-am mile
rate for straight fares. The line of
argument for the increase has been
along the same lines made by the
Short Line. and it is said the commits
sion cannot do otherwise than take
the same action.

HONOR PAID ST. MICHAEL
In England Especially Is His Day OBJ
served for Prescribed Cere-
monlaIs and Feasting.

There are fragmentary customs
bounds up with Michaelmas which
have to do with birds and winged
things, for no particular reason that
anybody knows. Perhaps 1t Is a chance
that II Is so. But everywhere in Eng
land where Mlchaelmas Is kept n goose
Is sacrificed for dinner on that day.
and for years and years In Lincolnshire
and Yorkshire a handful of the farm
er's each sort of grain was scattered
In the court or farmyard for the birds,
so that luck would come to that home
stead. Queen Elizabeth was eating,
you may remember, her Michaelmas
goose when the defeat Of the Spanish
armada was announced TO her. Per-
haps Michael's wings were Lowering
over the sea that day Of the defeat
and that those sizzling geese all over
England were sacrifice not made in
vain. And perhaps, after all, these
customs of cooking geese and throwing
grain to birds are only Just because
Michaelmas comes in the harvest time.
But It is nice to think that everything
with wings Is In some way akin to this
especial saint.-San Francisco Argo-

part of his nose in duel A piece of
flesh cut from the arm Oh slave was

seemingly natural nose. The slave,

and at that instant gangrele appeared
on the Italians nose. The part that
belonged to the dead mans arm was
cut off by the advice Of physicians.
Flesh was taken from his own arm
