ROADS CAN WEATHER FIN- ANCIAL GALD> 0 During The Next Period of De- pression Only a Few of The Railroads Will Pass Into Re- ceivers' Hands. New York, Bec. 3.--It is the belie of the leading railroad officials of the country that the next period of de- pression will cause only ow or we railroads of the United States to be forced into the hands of receivers. 'this belief is based on two grounds. It is pointed out that the physical condition of the railroads throughout the country has attained the highest state, and the companies are now ii a condition where they can run with comparatively little extra work for a number of years. An 1ense amount of work has been done on the rail rouds during the last five years in the way of heavier rails, more powerful equipment, better roadbeds and the replacement of wooden bridges by steel structures. These improvements will make needless the early expenditute of a great amount of money to maintain thew present condition. It will per mit the railroads to retrench their maintenance expenses without injury to the physical condition of the pro perty. For instance, during the last few years many of the railroads have increased their maintenance expenditures from around $ from SL000 to 51.400 a mile increases have made pendiiures on equipment These expenditures been sufficient to maintain the pro- perty, but have also wicluded a large amount of uprovement work. Should the country enter a period of depres of way to Similar the ex- heen in have not only sion the maintenance of way and equipment expenditures can he re duced enor without injury to the physical condition of the proper ty. 7 The second reason why railroads will be able to weather a period of depression is based on the better maintenance of freight rates. In 1898, when such a large percentage of the railroads of the country was forced into the hands of receivers, freight rates were cut to a point where it was impossible {0 make a profit. This reckless cutting of rates was one of the principal causes of the failures. Should the country again suffer bad times, such a¥ occurred in 1803, it is admitted by railroad men that there will be some cutting of freight rates, It.is hot believed, however, that there will be any such Gomorrah ion as was witnessed in 1863. The control of the railroads of the country has he- come concentrated in the hands fa comparatively few. These interests will use all of their resources to main tain freight rates at figures where a * profit can be made, With expenses greatly reduced ' tained. it is heReved majo ty of the railroads of the country can pass through a de pression as ere as that of 1893, without coming under the influence of the couris, ----r-- BIG TREES WANTED.

The of trees fropy Maine this however, will not exceed hali ao million, as compared with a million and more in past seasons. Fashion in Christmas trees appears to change like 15 now everything else and it is due to this change that the total output of the firs is to be much smaller during the g holiday season than in former In spite of good times the ers in Boston, New York and other «ities supplied by the Maine market have sent orders to the piner ies for larger trees and fewer of them They re there is no longer any demand for what are called children's trees, which are from five to eight feet tall. The increase in social and religious organizations in the cities and villa transferred the Christmas festivities from the family parlors to lodge rooms and churches so that the number of presents which will be distributed this year is larger than ever before, the management has been taken from the hands of indivi dual parents and guardians and plac- ed under the control of the Sundav schools and benevolent associations, making an increased demand for big trees, from twelve to twenty feet tall. Notwithstanding the decreased npum- ber of trees that will he shipped this vear the industry undoubtedly will ontinue to, pour thousands of dollars into the pockets of thé Maine farmers and woodmen. Men, women and chil dren often work together in gathering the Christmas tree harvest and in some locali the cutting of the greens is ade the occasion of a gene ral merrymaking, as at huskings and has other farm festivalé, The trees 'are bundled up, according to size, in lots of ¢ix or a dozen, conveyed on hay racks to the railroad station, and there either sold to travelling buyers or shipped direct to Boston or New York.

Mr. Pattison, publisher 'of the New York Evening lost; in an interview in Printer's Ink, speaks as follows re- garding the Felative merits of evening and morning {| "I incline pliy to the convic- tion that the afternoon paper is the paper of the future. These are a few of my reasons, and 1 have never seen them successfully controverted: A care: ful comparison by a disinterested paur- ty would probably show that from eighty-five per cent. to ninéty per cent. of the news appearing in the morning papers every day for a stated period, appeared in the evening papers of the day before, and it would also be shown conclusively that it was only occasionally that news found in the morning papers and not covered by the evening papers of the day before was of any material importance. Therefore, as news gatherers, they do not compare favorably with the even- ing papers. ""Ihen again, the evening paper is essentially a home paper. The evening paper is either bought by the male wember of the family on his way home, or else is served to him by his nev scealer at his residence, In either case it is read not only by himself hut by most of the other members of his family, and alter they have finished with it, it usually falls into the hands of the servants, and is read by them. From the point of view of quantity, this home circulation cannot Ae avers estimated. For example, say the Morn: ing Democrat has yu circulation of 100, 000, and the Evening Independent, hy actual count, sells 35000 copies, its actual circulation is therefore slightly more than that of the Morning Demo crat, owing to the fact that it is cas ily read by at least three times as many people. In addition to this, the evening paper is to be found in all clubs, libraries, reading rooms, ete. at a time of the day when these places are frequented by many more people than at any other time. "The careful reading which the evan: ing paper gets, not only by one but by all the members of the family, should be kept coustantly in mind hy the advertiser. It is read during the leisure part of the day, when business and housekeeping cares have at least for the time being, been dismissed from the mind. The morning paper, in a comparatively few instances, is re ceived by the male member of the fa- mily at- the breakfast table, but in most cases is purchased by him on the way to business. In cither case it is hastily generally read by only one member of the family and then thrown away or destroyed. The value of an evening paper as an advertising me dium is hot to be compared with that of a morning paper, even though the morning paper has a much larger cir oulation." e------ FAMILIAR SONGS.
