Our Life-Saving Stations. Since the organization of the life-saving sorvice In 1871, over $100,000,000 worth of property has been saved, and almost 100,- 000 persons rescued. This is certainly convincing proof of the importance of these stations. There is also convinelng proot in the wonderful record of cures behind the famous Hostetter's Stomach Bisters, the medicine that positively cures heart- The list contains 188 corporations, com- itrnllln‘ 2,029 different manufactories that | were active during the census year, and Rlso 174 plants that were idle during that | period. This showed an avera, Active plants to. each corporation, Sixty. thres of them were organised prior to the year 1897 and ninety-two were chartered during the eighteen motiths between Janu- ary 1, 1899, and June 30, 1900. The largest of these trusts or combinations fs th , United States BStesl corporation, with $1,006,351,740 capital stock and bonds. The i total outstanding and authorized capitali- | sation of the 183 corporations included in the list is as follows: As most of the stock and bonds are lsted at the several stock exchanges of the country and are bought and sold at prices sometimes above and sometimes below par, in accordance with the public estimate of their true value, it is impossible to give the actual investment represented. In ad- dition to the manufacturing operations, SOme of the companies are engaged In mer- cantile, transportation and other pursuits, and their capital stock and bonds were is- sued to cover all those operations. In sev- eral instances the value of the related in- dustries thus carried on is enormous, as where iron and steel companies own mines, from which they obtain their raw material, they get their matertal, it for many years to thrcugh the sickly season.

Then three or four capas appeared at the same time, waving red and the bull, wild with rage, charged with lightuing ra- pldity, firet at obe, then at another. this time the animal was infuriated about @8 much as he well could be and Romulus stepped lightly from behind his barricade and faced the bull.

Romulus suddenly threw out his arms as with a gesture of disdain; the bull accepted Lie challenge and charged across the arena a8 if shot from a catapult.
