COMPARISON OF THE DIVIDENDS Returns Declared by Bradstreet’s to | Be Quite Satisfactory. VOLUME ee OF BUSINESS > ‘The interstate commerce commission has authorized the issue of a synopsis of its report for the last fiscal year. It is un- derstood. however, that it will not be sub- mitted to Congress for several months. The full report will, it is stated, be the most exhaustive ever issued by the commission. Among other things the report shows that earnings of railways, represent- ing operated mileage of 180, miles, were 050,856. The net earnings, in- e the income from sources other connected directly with the business of transportation, such as income from investment in stocks and bonds, pro- t the total income of the railways for from which interest and other against income are met before dividends are declared, and the financial ults of operations are shown in the sur- remaining. The total Income of the railways covered by this report for the last al year, including $34,166,156 in- come from investments and miscellaneous sources, was $i 512. Taking from this amount the deductions from income total- izing $347,320.22, leaves $55,878,180 for the Since, the dividends declared amounted 9, the figures show a deficit of in the income account of the taken as a whole. The effect of ency would be recognized in the ction of the surplus fund, or in the in- crease of liabilities in the case of individ- ual roads. The net earnings were $5,083,- 105 less than for the preceding year. Increase in Dividends. Upon comparison of the dividends report- ed for the years ending June 30, 1807 and 18%, respectively, it will be seen that the dividends and surplus for the year. however, amount of dividends paid by the railways th same mileage for the $1,336 greater for 1897 Ing year, being $57,: havi ntially two years was $ than for the prece for 1897. All of the groups show an increase in the amount of dividends except group 4, which, roughly speaking, includes the states of Indiana and Ohio, the southern ninsula of M n and a small part of New Yark and F for which there was a decrease of $54 and group 9, mainly | Lepisia as, in whe there Was a small se also.

Since the date of the commission's re- port there has, however, been a great in- crease in the volume of business transact- the trunk lines, and this is espe- cially true those west from Washin article which recently appeared in cts were given to show that the d Ohio road is, and has been some time past, carrying an enormous intity of coal and various other kinds of on running south ton. and q freight from the west to Newport News, for export to foreign countries, and at a rting of the Southeastern Car Service Association in this city, in which the South- ern railway ts a leading factor, it was an- @ that there has been a very large se of traffic over the amount carried on the reads composing the association during the corresponding period of last year.

Gross and Net Earnings. The quarterly report of gross and net railway earnings just issued by Brad- street's says of the volume of business which has been done by the railroads of the country since the first of the year: “Viewed from almost every standpoint, the returns are quite satisfactory, and the few unfavorable features are chiefly nota. ble as furnishing s arp cont ts to the otherwise uniformly good returns. “fhe results of the first quarters work ef the railroads of the country may be briefly summarized by saying that in spite of ruinously low rates ruling through- out a large secticn of the country, the showing made by the leading railroads 1s th st one reported for years past at this period. The gains, both in gross and net, have been progressive in being based upon returns both for last year and the year before, which showed increases over similar preceding periods. ~The remuneretive character done 1s proved by the larger ate gain in net earnings than that shown in gross returns, and while, course, some highly favored systems, notably the Pacific roads and the grain-carrying sys- tems, generally show the heaviest returns ike In net and gross, the generally good ndition of affairs 1s proved by the uni- formity of the gains in gross receipts, and by the fact that only one of the eight groups of American roads shows a de- crease In net. This decrease, as was rea- fsonably to be expected, ts shown by the New England roads, which appeared to share in the rather less prosperous condi- Uons in that secticn 6Y the country. Gains Reporte “Large gains in gross and net returns @re a feature, and the almost utter ab- sence of important decreases is Itkewise Noticeable. For instance, there are nine- teen systems showing gains in excess of $400,000 ‘n gross, some of the increases Tunning as high as $2,300,000, and there are likewise twenty-three systems which report increases ir net exceeding $100,000, whereas there is only one, a New England system, which shows a decrease in excess of $100,000 in gross, and only two report- ing similar decreases in net. “The steadiness of the monthly gains in gross and net has been a feature of the first three months of the current year. In January the gross earnings gained 13.6 per cent, and the net returns 21.9 per cent; in February the gain in gross was 12 per cent, and in net nearly 17 per cent, while im March the gain in gross was 13.2 per cent and in net 19.8 per cent. “The total gross ea of 114 roads for the first three months of the year ag- Gregate $208,732,443, and the net returns of the work proportion- on this sum aggregate $61,390,135, gains of, respectively, 124 per cent and 16.5 per cent over the corresponding period of 1897." —_~——— DISTINCTIONS OF RANK. Insignia of Position and Honor in the Army and Navy. From the Cincinnatt Commercial Tribune. In military service throughout the world, Loth upen land and water, ‘here is a wide distinction between the different ranks held by the officers. Usually the rank of a military or naval man is obtained by long service or Ly appointment by Congress or the President. Sometimes, however, rank 1s given to an officer because he has done something which attracts the attention of his superiors. * In order to distinguish an officer‘from a common soldier, the gcvernment has adopt- ed various marks of rank, which are worn by the officers, both in time of war atl peace: during the former these signs are less conspicuous, for during a battle the sharpshooters always try to pick off the cfiicers, so that the soldiers will nave no one to command them. If any one who reads this article should, in time of peace, go aboard a man-of-war or in a gathering of naval officers, he would notice a vreat amount of gold ‘lace upon their uniforms end see the insignia of rank upon their shoulders. But in war time each officer puts away his gay uni- fcrm. Instead of the shoulder straps ihe mark ef renk is worn upon the collar of the coat. An admiral, the highest officer in the navy, wears four silver stars and two anchors upon his shoulder straps or collar; a vice admiral, three stars and one archcr; a rear admiral, an anchor with a ar on either side; a commodore, a star, th an anchor on either side; a captain, a silver eagle and two anchors, and a lieu- tenant, ar anchor with two silver bars on each side. There are also many petty and non-commissioned officers who wear the insignia of their rank on their sleeves, above the elbow. The higher officers also wear gold bands upen their sleeves, run- n:ng about the wrists. The shoulder straps are four and a half inches long by one and a half inches wide; they are made of dark biue cloth, with a berder of dead gold a quarter of xn inch wide, the device being embroidered inside the border. The lowest commissioned officer In the ravy is an ensign. He wears a single st!- ver anchor on his shoulder strap. It {s the ambition of each ensign to change his stripes for those of a lieutenant. There were many cases during our last war where ar ensign showed great bravery dur- ing a battle, and his name was sent to Washington ‘with a recommendation from his commander that he be promoted. Often an ensign was sent on a dangerous mission and got his lieutenant’s stripes that way. Usually, however, he has’ to wait till some officer above him is promoted, or dies, or retires, and then he moves up.in rank. Every sailor and soldier knows that in time of war his superiors are watching him, and that if he shows himself a brave man he stands a good chance of being pro- moted. It is a matter of great pride to ad1 an extra bar to his shoulder straps, or to Fave one of the many insignias of rank put on his uniform. There is, besides the henor of being an officer, better pay with 4 ach additional raise in rank, more com- fortable quarters and more personal ith- erty. All these things make the svidiers mere ambitfous to gain promotion. In the army the insignia of rank is some- what similar to that of the navy. but even in active service an army officer still wears s shoulder straps. The general is the highest officer of the army. His rank is skown by an eagle with a star on each side. A lieutenant general wears three rs on his shoulder straps: a major gen- al, two: a brigadier general, one: a col- onel, a silver eagie; a UWeutenant colonel, two silver leaves; a major, two gold leaves: a captain, four silver bars, and a lieuten- ant. two bars. The non-commissioned offt- cers wear their devices of rank upon their sleeves. A general may also be distin- guished by the ar:angement of the buttons on his coat. Owe of the jokes credited to General Grant was one about the buttons on his coat. A major general wears two rows of buttons, nine in each row and row divided into groups of three. One s clad in a military coat much e worse for wear, and from which all but three buttens had been torn. An officer breught him word that he had just been promoted to the rank of major general. Well.” said Grant, pointirg to the group of three buttons, “you see. I have anti ipated the order and have my genera!'s vriform. Besides the chance which a soldier or sailor has of becoming an officer and wea ing an insignia of rank, there is anothe thing which he works for during war time but this is confined principally to the nav it is the matter pf orize money. It is the rule of the United States navy that when the crew of a vessel captures another ship the prize is to be sold and a part of the preceeds divided among the officers and sailors. If the captured ship was equal in fighting strength to the captor, all the prize money goes to the victors, but if the prize was weaker, half goes to the govern- | ment and the remaining half is divided among the crew and officers. In such a division the commissioned oM- cers come in for a larger share, so it ts well to be as high an officer as’ possibic. The commander of a fleet receives one- twentieth of all the prize money awarded to any ship in his command. The captain of a single vessel receives one-tenth of the money awarded to his vessel, but. gets nothing from the prizes of any of the other ships of the fleet to which he belongs. The remaining officers and members of the crew of the vessel which has made the cepture receive prize money in accordance with their rank and pay. The lower a man is in the navy the less prize money he gets. A common sailor may get $200 as nis share, where if he was a lieutenant he might receive twice that sum. eee A Nght in Boston.

From Fllegende Blatter. * ; Yarnished w: Yellow Attractive to Insects. From the Chautauquan. If we watch the beautiful golden marsh marigold we shall find it rarely receives a visit from the bumble bee. It is said that that these bright, golden-bodied flies of the family Syrphidae are the chief dissemina- ters of its pollen. However this may be, one things perfectly plain: the marsh mari- gold is a striking and showy yellow flower, which cannot escape the notice of a multi- tude of spring insects; it is consequently visited by bees, flies, butterflies and beetles. Yellow is a most common color among fiowers, and one which is peculiarly con- spicuous and flashy in sunlight, when it is ith a gloss like that which we see on the buttercup and the marsh marigold.
