Carre with having put through, in the interests of the jase Matter, Seend the Continent and All Countries in the In Postal Union, Morgan combination, a deal which turned over big holdings of Boston and Maine stock to the New Haven, Lewis Cass Ledyard told the Interstate Commerce Commission a pathetic story of how the cruel laws of Massachusetts cramped the Boston and Maine. When the Boston and Maine wanted to increase ite bond issue eapecity the law said that the only way it could be done must be by enlargement through new issues of capital stock. “Under the laws of Massachusetts,” declared Mr. Ledyard, “that could be done only with the consent of the Railroad Commission, and the purposes of the issue were to be approved by them, the amount was to be authorised by them and the price at which the stock should be offered to the stockholders fized by them, which the law required should be not less than the actual value of the stock. For that purpose the Railroad Commifsion always took the market value of the stock. “As Mr. Lawrence has told you, one of those issues was at 190, while the Boston and Maine was paying dividends of 7 return of about 8.6 per cent. to the ‘ge stockholder had to sit there and take his medicine or lose his proportionate interest In the property —and take his medicine on these very unprofitable returns, “That law has done more to retard the development of railroads in Massachusetts than any other one thing. That law went on and provided that if the stockholders did not take the stock at the price so fixed any amount thus taken should be sold at auction. , “Can you imagine a method more complete and better fitted for destroying the value of a railrogd stock than that?” i We don’t have to imagine @ better method. One has been un- tolled before our eyes. Was ever method “more complete and better fitted for destroying the vulue of « railroad stock” than that used by the powers who exhausted the New Haven with the strain of colossal | uggrandizement, loaded it with debts and paralysed it with finance? In 1889 New Haven stock sold at 279.

JHE Aldermen have withdrawn their theatre ticket ordinance | passed two weeks ago, which forbade the sale of a theatre ticket for more than the price printed on its face. The Mayor persuaded the Board thet the ordinance was too severe and would wipe out all ticket agencies. . . “It wae agreed,” sald Mayor Mitchel, “that in the interest of good government, regulation should always be tried before abolition, and that effective regulation of theatre ticket agen- cies should be at least attempted.” A later ordinance signed by the Mayor empowers the Police Such Is Life!

THE GREATER GOOD. OBTON delegates to the Anti-Vivisection Conference in this city sought to induce the league to enlarge its scope by declaring against vaccination, It is cignificant thet the motion was lost beyond hope. One hundred and eighteen years ago to-day, on May 14, 1796, Fdward Jenner announced that he had conclusively established the important principle of vaccination, “proving that it wae possible to propagate the vaccine affection by artificial means from one human | heing to another and thereby st will communicate security to all who |{ were liable to smallpox.” Immediately and for long after vaccination aroused the wildest opposition, the most grotesque and hideous reports of its terrible effects—among which the story of a boy who, “after being inoculated ‘way before him. them, for above Give it stability, or skim ean rij & paste imitation, Tan't it? the little de- ding. inst BIG is uragenienta, Rot popular with the wealthy land. to i2,the, things & young man learns bear that strengthen far more than the things most— that give A wall is built one ato: Bach stone must be made secur is no wall can rise there is nothing to Bo be patient even in tall work of career built: ise that duties impatiently skipped in your foundation mit the height to which your “wail Steadiness rather than speed, firm- ness rather than haste.
