Aunque Sc sabe que algunaS

chos pueblos trataban y tratan
a sus ancianos con marcada de-
ferencia. Los Esquimales, los

brimos que la barbarie coexiste

Los antiques egipcios, segdn
Plat6n, inculcan ell respeto a la
Mejez. Ellos requerian, como
hoy 10 hacemos %nosotros, que ell
j6ven Sc levantara al acercarse
el viejo. Los israelitas y lacede-
monios cedian sus lugares a las
personas superiores en- amos.
Llegando a la primera etapa
de la historic de Europa encon-
tramos que este respeto por el
anciano aumenta en- lugar de
extinguirse y que ha pasado a
ser una parte de la vida social.
Los jovenes tenian que mostrar
deferencia a los viejos, empe-

Earnings of International Tele'
phone and Telegraph in the Sep
tember quarter did not maintain
the rate of earlier months Of
this year, it is reported in in
formed quarters. 1t is now indi.
Gated any surplus over fixed
charges will be small.
In the first half Of 1884, Inter
national Telephone reported a
surplus after charges of $1.697,-
933, equal to 27 cents a share.
Part of the slump in the third
quarter may be attributed to sea-
sonable factors, in addition to a
general recession in business ac-
tivities. The trends of various
operating companies for the
fourth quarter indicate a suhstan-
tial recovery in earning power.
The company in 1884 effected
operating economies, further re-
duced it's bank loans, absorbed
the deficit of Postal Telegraph
and Gable Corporation, and will
probably come through with net
after charges of approximately
$2,000,000, or slightly in excess of
80 cents a share. In 1888 net
income was $694,000, equal to II
cents.

Testimony that the Frisco rail

pay the New York banking firm

directors of the railroad, in a
special hearing in progress here
The railroad borrowed $2,000,-

turned over one million Of that
amount to Speyer and Company

chase of $4,000 shares of common
stock Of the Gulf, Mobile and
Northern railroad at $3S a share
