- New York The directors of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe at a
meeting In this city formulated a fi
nanclal plan which Is expected to meet
the necesi sties of the road for many
years. The plan is similar to that
adopted by the New York Central
about a year ago, when the author
lzed capital of that system was in
creased from $150,000,000 to $250,'
000,000.
The Atchison will also make an in
crease of $250,000,000, but the amount
of new stock recommended . by the di
rectors is about $98,000,000, somewhat
less than that authorized -by the Cen
tral. The directors called a special
meeting of the stockholders for Jan
uary 30 at Topeka to vote upon the
proposed increase.
The circular to stockholders will be
Issued tomorrow or Friday. It will
be comprehensive in its terms and the
resolution submitted for approval will
confer upon the directors authority to
issue any part of the stock of con
vertible bonds with the stock as se
curity, in their discretion.
About $25,000,000 of the stock, one
of the directors said or a like amount
of convertible bonds will be issued in
all probability early In February, but
whether bonds or stocks will not be
finally determined until that time.

bundles of silk was placed boiled rice.

Senor Quesada, Cuban Minister to the United States, Is an orator born. In
an article in The Outlook for July. 1899, by George Kennan, who heard. Quesada
Bpak at the Esteban Theater, Matanzas, Cuba, he said: "I have seen many aud
lences under the spell of eloquent speech and in the grip of strong emotional ex
citem int, but I have rarely witnessed such a scene as at th close of Quesada'a
eulopy upon the dead patriot, Marti." In a letter to The Peruna Drug M 'f'g. Co.,
written from Washington, D. C., Sonor Quesada says:
"Peruna I can recommend as a very good medi
cine. It is an excellent strengthening tonic, and it
is also an efficacious cure for the almost universal
complaint of catarrh.' 'Gonzalo De Quesada.
Mr. Will A. Hoffman, Ilagerstown,

"I gladly give my testimonial with
the thousands of others who have been
cured by the use of Peruna.
"I had catarrh of the head and
throat I took cold easily and was
dizzy-headed.
" was all rundown and hardly able
to work at all when I began using
Peruna.
"But, now, after using it about six
months I am well andsU vng. "
There is no remedy in the world
which has proven so popular for catarrh
as Peruna. It has been used for morei
than thirty years and cured thousands
of cases as proven by our testimonials.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,

Then the baskets were taken to the
detention shed, the ostensible purpose
being to feed the rice to the Chinese
there. However the procession of J'.ps
and baskets was halted by Immigra
tion Inspecter Davidson, who is of an
inquiring turn of mind, and the decep
tion was discovered.
The silk was worth about $250 and

Milk 10 Cents Quart in New York
New York The people of this city
are having a concrete example of the
sort of philanthropy the advocates
of trusts declare industrial combina
tions give to the consumer.
Three months ago it was announced
that a party of rich Wall Street men
had consolidated their capital and
formed - a milk trust. Immediately
thereafter the retail price of milk was
increased from 6 to 8 cents a quart,
and on January 1 householders in tho
metropolis will be compelled to pay
10 cents for ' the common grade.
Probably never before in the his
tory of trusts have their efforts been
so quickly brought home to the con
sumer. The New York milk trust gives
as its reason for the advance the state
ment that it is necessary to "stimulate
production in order to secure an ade
quate supply."
The daily average supply of milk in
this city is 49,120 cans, jor 1,964,90
quarts. The trust easily controls the
supply. While the consumer com
plains, the farmer receives no more
for hi3 product than he did pre
viously., ,
