Gifts Collected By
 Catholic High Girls
 ToBe Shipped Abroad
Bandages, Medicines, SaIves, Soap Numbered Among Variety of Remembrances for Medical Board; COI-
 lection SymbOIizes Students Spirit of Lent

When the season of Lent started some seven weeks ago, all the stu dents at Waterbury Catholic high school commence to canvass the city for medical supplies of all sorts for the Catholic Medical Missions board in New York city. At the present time, as result of their efforts, there are about fifty or sixty car- tons piled up in the basement of the school, all ready for shipment to New York, and from that point to different missions all over the world.
 This collection of medical supplies and little luxuries is made up of all kinds of articles including bandages, medicine, towels, swabs, soap, shaving cream, tooth paste, pins cigarettes and many other articles that can be used at foreign mission stations. The students are particularly grateful to local doc- tors and druggists who donated a great deal of the material that is to be shipped to New York within the next few days.
 60 Cartons
 Last year about fifty cartons were sent away and it is believed that this years shipment will contain about 60. These cartons are filled with no less than 15,000 articles. In order to illustrate more clearly what an article constitutes, 1t was explained at the high school that a contribution of ten pins, or ten small cotton swabs is credited as one complete article. A bottle of medi- cine or a packet of bandages is auso listed as one article. When one c~nsiders that the local students have checked and packed 15,000 of these items, rough idea of the work they have done for the for eign missions can be obtained. This year the junior class of section l., commercial department, leads the rest of the school in the number of articles donated and collected.
 Gifts Acknowledged
 Last year, following the shipment of the medical supplies to New York, a letter of thanks was re- ceived from Rev. Edward F. Carasche, director of the Catholic Missions Medical Mission in New York: we wish to express our thanks" wrote the director, land our since appreciation and admira- tion of your interest and industry in collecting and sending to us the boxes and cartons of articles on be- hals of the Catholic missions"
 The articles after they are re- ceived in New York are sent to all parts of the world, according to the needs in different places.

DIVIDENDS PAY
PENNSY LESS

Pennsylvania Railroads non-op-
Grating income for 1885 amounted
to $36,413,423, a decrease of $3,-
800, ,468 from the total for the pre-
ceding year, M. w. Clement,
president, says in the annual re-
port.
Dividend income included in
incorporating income was $22,-
794,114 in 1885, a decrease of ST.
211, ,234 under the preceding year.
Clement points out that this drop
in dividend income was due chief.
ly to omission of dividend on
stock Of the Pennsylvania Com
pany (owned entirely by PennSyl-
vania Railroad Company.
Income from funded securities
in 1885 was $5,676, ,359, a decrease
of $1,148,372 under the preceding
year, this decline due chiefly to
sales Of United States Govern
ment securities held as temporary
investments, reduced holdings of
securities OF leased companies,
and decreased interest on ad-
vanceS to affiliated companies.
Income from unfunded securities
and accounts in 1885 was $685., 1876,
a decrease Of $1,418,572 from the
preceding year, this drop due
largely to inclusion in 1884 of in
terest on refund of Federal in
come taxes covering prior years.
The roads investments in af'
filiated companies at the end of
1885 stood at $625 ,094, 1896, a de-
crease Of $7,466,o94 from the end
of 1884.
Other investments totaled $76,-
812,155 at the end Of 1885, q de-
crease Of $16,S47,143. Clement
said the reduction here reflected
largely the change in bonds and
notes, chiefly United States Gov
ernment securities, held as tempo
rary investments.
Pennsylvania Railroad for 1885
had net income of $23,8 ,797
after taxes and charges, equal to
