Borne question has been raised hr
to the statement by President Rea, of
the Pennsylvania lines, that the Penn
sylvania earned last year only 4.83
per cent on Its Investment in prop
erty devoted to the public service.
Preference in this case, says Mr.
Rea. was to the earnings of $85,766,-

In England the policy of railroads
has been to pay out currently to
stockholders nearly all the net earn

stock. If investors in stock and
bonds of Pennsylvania Railroad had
supplied directly all the money In
vested In the transportation prop

from operations of such property,
they would to-day be getting only 4.83

MUNICH. May 24 Queen Amelie
of Portugal vows she will elope and
wed the man of her heart if her son,
King Manuel, the head of his house,
persists in refusing his consent to
her marriage.
Queen Amelie—for so devoted Roy
alists salute her still—was one of
the loveliest women in Europe. Her
forty-seven years have scarcely dim
med her beauty, nor. ns is proved
now rendered her less susceptible
to the tender passion.
The Queen has confessed to her
son that vhc love* Count DeVassu-
laes. a voting Portuguese noble tvho
has devoted his life and hi* fortune
to restore Manuel to the throne fro n
which the Republicans drove him ~
that is to sa\ to restore to Manuel 8
fair mother her queenly glorv.
Reminds Mother of Rank.
Manuel, although devoted to his
mother, who preserved his life from
assassins, inexorably refuses his con
sent to the union with Count De-
Vassalaes.
He reminds her that a princess of
Orleans, a sister of the royalist pr -
tender to the throne of France, the
widow of a king, can not take as her
husband any man in whose veins
blood royal does not course.
No argument has changed the de
termination of son or of mother, tha
one refuses to consent to s»uch a
union, the other declares she wi.l
follow the dictates of her affection.
She is ready to defy her son. who
in her eves is stilt her king, ready
to shock her closest friends Queen
Alexandra. Emperor William- half
of ;he sovereigns of Europe.
As all the world knows. Manuel is
to marry soon the young Princess
Auguste Victoria of Hohenzollern
at Segmaringen. He came here to
visit his widowed aunt. Duchess
Charles-Theodore-Hire.
Here, too, came Queen Amelie am!
in the palace of the Duchess she told
her love and her purpose.
Stormy Scene Caused.
A stormy scene followed. Queen
Atnelie even threatened to abse,v
herself from Manuel's wedding,
w hich will take place at Signmringvn
in August. It Is supposed she will
go to I^ondon and marry there se
cretly. Her Intended husband is very
wealthy and has been promised by
her a high official post in the event
of Ft monarch’s restoration in Por
tugal.
All member* of the Portuguese
royal family side with Manuel in
this affair. They believe the Queen’s
plans to be harmful to the prestige
of the Portuguese crown
But j*he is a woman of bravery and
determination, she was a heroine on

ago in Lisbon When the band o'
assassins opened fire on the royal
carriage, the Queen threw herself be

"But whenever the condition at
which this amendment is directed
prevails in the North to such an ex

begin to creep into the heads of ne

line, and whenever we have a foreign

fraught with disaster, and it will

1 would be working only ten. but I
will be out in the open air and do
healthful work, eating good food and
sleeping well, and that beats city ex

MILWAUKEE, May 24.—Teeth
marks as evidence to-day led to the
arrest of four boys on a charge of
having robbed five stores.
Detectives found partly eaten sau
sage links, cakes and crackers in all
of the stores. Some of the remains
showed plainly the marks of the teeth,
so the detectives took the "evidence”
to a dentist for examination. The
dentist decided that the marks were
those of boys’ molars, and this was
proven to-day when the same dentist
examined-the teeth of the boys under
arrest and said the marks in the
sausages came from the teeth of the
boys.

ABE RHEUMATIC
SUFFERERS NEGLIGENT?
Many Suffer Excruciating;

Their Pain or Its Cure.
Rheumatism frequently comes
from uric acid poisoning. Uric
acid accumulates from undigested. ,
fowl remaining in stomach and if*- 1
testines. which ferments and putre- \
fies and generates this poisonous acid. )
If not expelled promptly it gets up <
into the blood and finally forms crys- S
talline deposits which settle in joints ;
and muscles and stiffen them. (
JACOBS’ LIVER SALT has been <
remarkably successful in the treat >
ment of rheumatism resulting from ?
uric acid poisoning. It is a true uric (
acid solvent which will break up the S
| deposits already formed, dissolve the )
uric acid out of the tissues and hold c
it in solution until expelled in the S
urine. It will not cure your rheuma- )
tism overnight; neither did your ?
rheumatism come overnight. But JA- s
COBS' LIVER SALT will relieve you )
more promptly and surely than any- ?
thing else because it thoroughly <
purges the system of fermenting S
waste, eliminates the poisonous uric ?
acid and purifies the blood. )
Almost without exception the suf- s
ferer from rheumatism is subject to 5
constipation, biliousness or dyspep- \
sia, and a sluggish liver is at the hot- (
tom of the whole trouble. JACOBS’ )
