intended,

May Party Attracti Big Crowd.
The twenty-ninth annual May Party
nf Division 88, B. of L. E., held at the
opera house last evening attracted an
attendance of spectators that more
than filled the seating capacity of the
galleries and of dancers that crowded I
tho floor; in fact few of, ho many May '
parties given by the Division havo been
more largely attended than the one
last night.
The hall was elaborately decorated
with red, hitc and blue streamers
studded with electric lights, so arranged
as to give a most pleasing effect, and
on the stage was a largo "welcome"
in a field of red, white and biuo. The
decorations represented a lot of pains
taking labor, but the result well repaid
the effort.
Preceding the dancing the Keith
Theatre orcKestra gave a concert pro
gram that was well rendered and
heartily applauded by the appreciative
crowd, and nt the conclusion of this
feature camo the grand march, led by
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Ell, in which prac
tically all on the floor took part. This
was followed by n waltz, and the May
Party of 1911 was on in earnest. There
were twenty-four dances on the pro
gram, and the last waltz was finished
nbout.threo this morning.
Tho May Party last evening demon
strated that this social function of tho
engineers has lostnonoof its popularity,
and that it is today, as it was twenty
years ago, the ono big social event of
the spring season. Chairman W. B.
Brown, of the arrangement committee,
and tho members who so well aided him,'
certainly have reason to feel satisfied
with their efforts they sustained the
reputation of Division 88 and furnished
six hundred people with an evening re
plete with enjoyment.

Railroad Earnings and Expenses,
Tho report of tho bureau of railway
economics for February, compiled from
returns from all ronds. contains the
following:
February returns, when reduced to a
por-mile basis, show a decrease with
respect to those for the corresponding
month of tho previous year. Net
operating revenue, that is, total rev
enues loss operating expenses, for all
roaus reporting, snow a decrease per
i
mile from the figure of February, 1910,
of S34 or 14 per cent. This decrease
was due to a decline in revenues rtaher
than an increase in expenses.
For the month of February, 1911,
total operating revenues dscreased
the same month of 1910 about
$3,5000,000, which was equivalent to
$29 per mile or 3.2 per cent. This de
creaso was entirely in freight revonue;
and was in part offset by an increase
of nearly $13 per mile in passenger and
miscellaneous revenue
Operating expenses wore almost
stationary ns compared with a year
ago, tho increaso amounting to only 0.8
per cent. There was an increase of 2
per cent in mnintenanco of equipment
and 2.1 per cent in transportation ex
pense, but these increases were offset
by a decrease of 5.8 per cent in main
tenance of way.
Tho operating ratio was 74.7 per
cent as compared with 74.9 per cont in
January, 1911, and 71.7 per cent in
Februnry, 1910.
Not operating revenue showed a de
creaso of $34 per mile or 13.6 per cent.
It is clear tat this decrease was due to
a decline in rovenues rather than an in
crease in expenses.
Net revenue per mile per day was
$7.69 as compared with $7.51 in Jan
uary. November, 1910, showed a daily
average per mile of $11.91 and Decem
ber $9.96.
There was an increase in taVxes of 2.2
per cent, and operating income, which
is net revenue with taxes aad out side
operatous included, consequently
showed n decline of $35 per milo or
16.6 per cent.

Matchmaking
By LUCY M. ROE
Copyright by American Press Asso
ciation, 1911.
"Tom," said Mrs. Vuudeveer to her
husband, "wo need more recreation
I don't mean Kolng out In the evening
after you have come home all tired
out, but Home ono to come In nnd chat
with us or play cards."
"Well, my dear, all I havo to Bay Is
that I'm content ns it is. but if you
caro ,to Invito any person or persona in
hero so that 1 won't havo to go out
and ceo them I don't-objoct."
"I have a plan all laid out. Tucro's ,
llalph Eldridgo. no's thirty-five, and
it is timo ho was married. Now, Jny
old school friend Margaret Shaw
would 1)0 Just tho woman for Ralph.
She's twenty-sir. What do you say to
gotting them in occasionally to dinner,
with a gamo of bridgo or Ave hundred
in the evening. It may bo n great fa
vor to them to bring them together.
They may moke a match."
"Do anything you like, my dear,
provided you don't put me to any
trouble."
So Mr. Eldrldge and Miss Shaw
wore invited to dinner, with cards in
tho evening. Mr. Eldridge of courue
played with Mrs. Vnndcveer, Mr. Van
dovcer playing with Miss Shnw. It Is
slngulnr what a little thing will start
persons on n different trnrk. It was
all In the cards. Mr. Vnndcveer and
Miss Shaw held all the court enrds in
the pack from 0 o'clock, when they
sat down, till 11, when they arose.
Tills made Mrs. Vnndcveer n trifle ir
ritable. It produced a corresponding
exhilaration in Miss Shnw. Further
more, seeing tlmt Mrs. Vnndcveer was
Irritated, Miss Shaw, moved by per
versity, became very enthusiastic in
her expressions to her partner, giving
him glances that his wife, being in an
ill humor, construed unfavorably. This
led the hostess to say a number of
nlco things to Mr. Eldridge.
When the evening was over nnd tho
guests had departed Mr. nnd Mrs.
Vnndevccr went to bed without n
word. Mrs. Vnndevccr suspected that
in introducing Miss Shnw Into her
houso sho bad warmed a Rcrpent in
her bosom. Mr. Vandovcer. for tho
first time in bis married life, felt a
spark of Jealousy of Mr. Eldridge. who
was an extremely good looking and
attractive man.
Tho next week when Mr. Vnndc
veer camo homo one afternoon from
business his wife told him that Miss
Shaw had invited tho party to dinner
and for cards In tho evening. Mr.
Vnndcveer. fearing that if he declined
to accept his wife would think he
wished to keep her from again meet
ing Mr. Eldridge, consented, nis wife
was much surprised and set. down bis
willingness to a desire to again meet
Miss Shaw.
At this meeting the cards ran more
evenly, but Miss Shaw seemed t6 Ira
even moro en rapport wltli Mr. Vande
veer than before, while Mr. Eldridgo
treated Mrs. Vandeveer wltli a defer
enco that wns. to say tho least, ex
tromely noticeable. Not for the world
would Mr. Vandeveer show that ho
noticed certain glances with which
Mr. Eldridge favored his wife, but
within him ho wns burning with a
smothered fury, nnd a part of his irri
tation was for his wlfo that sho did
not resent such treatment Instead of
seeming to be plensed with It.
Tho four continued to meet once n
week at tho houso of ono or the other..
Mr. Vandeveer would huvo been Kind
to give up tho meetings, and his wife
made no objections to dolus so. but
Mr. Eldridge and Miss Sh;w were so
urgent when It crime their turn to do
the entertaining that tin- Viindeveera
felt obliged to ylold. Mr. Vnudeveer
attributed Miss Shaw's ppmlsteuce to
a desire to meet her husband, nnd
Mr. Vandeveer attributed Mr. El
drklRO'a persistence to n dp!n- to meet
bis wlfo.
"Your plan, my dear, nam Mr. Van
deveer one evening before ono of thes
meetings, "for makln a match be
tween Eldridge nnd Miss Shnw doesn't
seem to work."
"ITm!" wns tho retort. "Miss Shaw
seeniH to bo predisposed in another di
rection." "1 don't know anything about that."
enarlcd the husband, "but it's very
plain that Eldridge Is preoccupied."
"Tho next time 1 attempt to make u
mntch." relnlned the wife, "I'll see
that then- Is no one about to lead tho
lady In tho case from her suitor."
Half an hour Inter tho party was
nt Mr. Eldrldge's bachelor quarters,
where the meeting was to take place.
When the game commenced for tho
first time Mr. Eldridge nnd Miss Shaw
refrained from any jealousy inspiring
glances at tho Vundeveers. Mrs. Van
doveer. who was more observant than
her husband, detected n tender look
passing between the unmurrlcd cou
ple. When the cards were put aside
Mr. Eldridge got out a light luncheon
and a bottle of Iced chnmpagne wns
brought Into the room. There was a
cork salute, nnd the host filled tho
glasses nnd said to his guests:
"Many thanks for glvlug me the love
liest woman In the world. Miss Shaw
has consented to be my wife." ,
When the Vnndeveers returned to
their homo the husband embraced his
wife and said;
"My dear, 1 think you and 1 can get
along without any morp couples to
come in and spend our evenings with
us. And I'm not Interested in match
making. These two have been making
catspuwB of us "
"I expect you're right, dear. They
were playlnc us for tho purpose of
pimjlntf eirtlf flnrer.
