The Earnings of Railroads.
Theiinterstate commerce commission
has received a preliminary report of the
income‘an’d expenditures of railways in
the United States for the year ended
June 30 last. It includes returns from
79 operating companies and covers the
operations of 145,869.58 miles of line.
The gross earnings were $1,085,685,281,
of which $322,805, 538 were from passen-
ger service, $739,249,265 from freight
service and $23,630,378 were other earn-
ings. The operating expenses were
$735,427,535, leaving net earnings of
$350,527,749, which is about 3.50 per
cent on the capitalization of the roads
reporting. Reduced to a mileage basis,
the gross earnings were 87,443 per mile
of line; operating expenses were $5,042,
and net earnings were $2,401. A com-
parison of these items with the com-
plete returns for the previous year shows
an increase in gross earnings of $230
per mile of line, and in operating ex-
penses of 3233, resulting in a decrease
in net earnings of $3 per mile.

Cheap Telephones.
“The country in Europe which counts,
proportionately to its population, the
largest number of ‘abonnes,’ or regu-
lar subscribers for the use of tele-
phones. is Switzerland. In 1888 sixty-
one townships, with a total of. 044
abounes.9 had {telephonic connections;
the abonnement, or subscription price,
was $30. That price was lowered to
$16 in 1890, and at-the end of June,
1893, there were 154 townships wit-h
17,000 abonnes using the telephones.”
Theabove clipped from the Tribune" "
shouldbe read by telephone managers
throughout the country; the fee was
reduced “not quite one-half, but the
rentals increased over one hundred and.
forty percent. Most corporations re-
gard a proposition to reduce their rates
as something terrible, but as a rule,
they have under normal conditions
profited by the change. The Consoli-
dated vigorously opposed any reduc-
tion of fares, but when they did make
the reduction they increased their earn-
lugs, and. dispelled fOrever7 that-night-
mare the “Parallel,” as no road could
now be built and carry passengers at
two cents per mile.

Education in Connecticut.
A history of education in the state of
Connecticut, with numerous and excel-
lent illustrations, will be issued by the
bureau of education at Washington in
about ten days. The first chapter is
occupied with an account of the early
efforts of education before the union of
the colonies of New Haven and Con-
necticut. By far the largest part of the
report is taken up by a history of Yale
University as it passed through all
stages, from the collegiate school
founded by the ten Congregational
clergymen of Connecticut to the great
university, which draws its students
more from the country at large than
does any other similar institution of
learning. Sketches are also given of
Trinity College and Wesleyan Univers-
ity, both chartered in the early part of
the century. The last chapter is occu-
pied with accounts of professional
schools unconnected with colleges. One
of these, the Litchfield Law School,
was the first of its sort in the nation.
The others are theological schools. The
volume contains 300 pages.

“ I had been in poor health for a. long time.
For years my appetite was very poor. Supper

with pains in my bowels.

bottle I began to feel better and my appetite
improved. I was troubled with constipation, so
I got a box of Hood’s Vegetable Pills. Soon
I passed a knotted tape worm 25 feet long.
At once the pains in my bowels ceased and

done this, proved that there was no

A ripple will be created in local
theatrical circles next week by the pro1
duction Of the new sensational com edy-
drama, entitled, “Patent Applied For”
at Hoyt’s Opera House, South Nor-
walk, onMonday evening, Feb. 19th.
The play was written by Elmer E.
Vance and received its premier in 001-
umbus eight weeks ago to a packed
house and an appreciative audience.
The story is one of love and heroism
and told with an unusual number of
novel and startling mechanical effects.
A storm scene, said to be one of the
most realistic yet staged, will be a
feature of the production. The stage
is so constructed that the ship reels
and tosses from wave to wave, while
real. wind blows the sails to tatters and
rushes out into the auditorium. Anoth-
er .Sce‘ne said to be quite as thrilling, is
where a young lady mOunted on the
famous race-horse Fortunatus, rides on
the stage 'and “taking” a stone wall ,
goes totherescue of her lover, who is
struggling in a river of real water.

Cresworth, an English mining mun well

arrived here from a long overland journey
through the Sierra Madre mountains, his
starting point being Culicau, near the Pa-
cific coast, in the state of Sinaloa.
He says he has discovered a. large and
beautiful deserted city. He says it is sit-
uated about 80 miles west of Lake Colo-
rado in a recess of the Sierra Madres and
occupies a basin 10 miles long by 8 miles
wide. Perpendicular cliffs surround the
basin on all sides, rising to the height of
hundreds of feet. The only entrance to
the city is through a deep canyon 30 feet
wide. - .
Mr. Cresworth says that he stumbled on-
to the secret entrance by accident.

park, which is overgrown with rare flow-
ers and tropical vegetation. He found
many strange ornaments,butlittle of value.
While no one in that part of Mexico ever

CHOKER. ON THE TARIFF.
Ho Fears That: the Bill Is a. Menace to the
Democratic Party. ‘
JACKSONVILLE, Fla... Feb. 13.—-A special
from St. Augustine says: Richard Croker,
of General Hancock, the tariff is simply a
local issue, and he thinks it is unfortunate
that Democratic congressmen are not al-
lowed to vote for protection when neces-
sary to the interests of their districts. He
fears that the removal of the sugar tax
Will lose Louisiana to the Democratic
party.
If sugar is made free, he says, the iii-
come tax must become a part of our finan-
cial system, and he fears the effect of this
tax on the Democracy of New York.
He fears that free wool will cause serious
damage " to many poor farmers in New
'York. "He believes every A merican indus-
try should be moderately prof-cried.
He thinks that the present tariff bill is
too severe and says if it Were possible for
the Republicans to pore down the McKin-
ley billto a, moderate basis they would
carry future elections and be hard to dis-
lodge. '
Mr. Croker says congress should either
pass or defeat the tariff bill at. once, as
something must be done to relieve business
of the uncertainty that now exists.
