thanksgiving day.
Uo paper will»be issued from the office of
the Evening Buli.ktin to-morrow, in order
that all persons connected with the establish
ment may be enabled to comply with the re
commendation of the President of the United
States and the Governor of Pennsylvania, con
tained in the following proclamation:
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania— Thavkhgvv
jno Proclamation —John W. Geary, Go
vernor.
“The year -which is drawing to a close lias
been free from pestilence; health has pre
vailed throughout the land; abundant crops
reward the labors of the husbandman; com
merce and manufactures have successfully
prosecuted their peaceful paths ; the mines
and forcsts bave yielded liberally ; the nation
Las increased in "wealth and in strength j peace
has prevailed and its blessings have advanced
every interest of tlio people in every part ot
the Unjon; harmony and fraternal intercourse
restored are obliterating the marks' of past
■conflict and estrangement; burdens have been
lightened ; means have been increased; civil
and-religions liberty are secured to every in
habitant of the land, whose sod is trod by
none but freemen. It becomes a people thus
favored to make acknowledgment to the 011-
preme Author trom whom such blessings flow,
ot their gratitude and their .dependence, to
render praise and thanksgiving for the same,
• and devoutly to implore a continuance of
■God's mercies.'
« Therefore, I, Ulysses S, Grant, President
of the United States, do Tecommend that
Thursday, the 18th of November next, bo ob
served as a day of thanksgiving and of praise
to Almighty God, the Creator and Killer of
ihe'Universe. And Ido further recommend
to all the people of the United States to as
semble on that day in their .accustomed places
«f public worship, and to unite in the homage
suqc| praise due to our bountiful Father of all
•mercies, and fervent prayer for the con
tinuance of the manifold blessings He has
vouchsafed to us as a people.
"In Testimony whereof,! have hereunto-set
•my hand and caused the Seal of the United
States to he affixed, this fifth day of October,
Anno Domini one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-nine, and of the Independence of
the‘United States of America the ninety
lourth. U. S. Grant.
"Bv the President:
“Hamilton Fisn, Secretary of State.
The President of the United States having
issued the foregoing proclamation, I do most
earnestly advise that the people of theCommon
wealh of Pennsylvania, for the reasons
therein given, strictly observe its recommenda
tions. , „
■ Given under my hand and the Seal ot the
Commonwealth, at Harrisburg, this twenty
fifth day of October, iii the year of our
: I,OTd one thousand eight hundred and sixty
nine, and the Independence of the United
States the ninety-fourth.
. John \V. Geary.
By the' Governor.
y. Jokdan, Secretary of the Commonwealth,
The • Governor has set an example, which
ether Governors might wisely follow, in adopt
ing the President’s proclamation, which is
comprehensive and well-written. There is
scarcely a sentence in the principal paragraph
that does not furnish a text for a sermon or an
editorial for the day. The themes for Thanks
giving Day have expanded with the expansion
of our country. There is more to be thankful
for, and there are more people to be thankful,
every year that this nation exists. Indeed the
bounties of Providence to this country grow
faster than its population. Its' health, wealth
and prosperity,-which are all gifts of Provi
dence, increase in a greater ratio than do
those of all other countries. But
it is to be feared that the feeling of religious
gratitude does not grow at the same rate.
Strictly good and unworldly people are con
x stantly thanking the Divine Being for the
blessings bestowed upon them, and for them
there is no need of a Presidential Proclamation
to obtain an outward show of the feeling. But
for the vast, worldly, mercenary, thoughtless,
conceited and selfish mass of the people, it is
■ very well to be reminded, at least once a year,
by the President or Governor, or both, that the
happiness, healthfulness, peace and prosperity
they enjoy, are not their own work, but are
gifts from Heaven,' for which they should
unitedly return tliankß.
It will; not do, however, to be too boastful in
the thanks that are to be offered to-morrow.
The Pharisee who, in his prayers in the tem
, pie, said, li God, I thank thee that I am nbtas
. oilier, men,” was thought less worthy than the
bumble.pubiican, who simply prayed for mercy.
And tlie preachers and editors, in their thanks
giving efiorts, should ; all try to impress the
.moral of the parable upon their hearers and
readers. Outside of church, before and after
ibe loimal duties.of the service, the real work
. of, thanksgiving-should he done by /those who
have been prosperous above afiy others.
Tlie less , prosperous deserve to
share their blessings.; and if
jiuy one. day is better than .another for bestow
ing charity, it is Thanksgiving Day. So, let
.every .one give of his means to-morrow,'to
those whom he knows -.to be deserving and
needy. A barrel .of flour, a ton of coal, a pair
of blankets,,a good turkey, or a dollar or two
in cash, and all, symbolical, and there
fore appropriate Thanksgiving presents. The
demands upon us are not half so great as they
were a few years ago, when the country was
suffering from war, and there were sick and
wortfluted soldiers in hospitals, and poverty
stricken wives and children of dead or
suffering soldiers everywhere. The
sacrifices made by these soldiers brought to the
coatitry the peace under which the plenty we
are now .enjoying has been obtained. We are
better able to give than/we were in the war
time, arid liberie are., happily, not so many with
\ elaiona upon hr. But there is not one family,
even moderate means, that cannot find
some worthy object ©f charity who ought to
be thought of and made happy at least on
Thanksgiving Day, -
-This is onr sermon for the occasion, and in
trying to impress it on the miruls of the read
ers of the Bulletin, we trust they may all
have i«»'!wed cause lor gratitude to Provi
dence when another Thanksgiving Day comes
around,

■ ■ tub Bl)MOKE» *> ■ '
We published yesterday a special despatch
from; St, Petersburg to the New York Times,
of a very extraordinary and startling character.
It declared that the Russian Govemtnerit had
submitted to Fi ance a project fir a treaty of al
liance between Russia, Austria and FrßacC, to
endure for three years, for offensive and de
fensive purposes, each party to maintain a
standing army. It is very possible that this
story is not true; leports of a similar character
concerning other nations have been circulated
recently, and as quickly denied. The Times,
however, inclines to accept it as correct, and as
the foimation of such au alliance is by no
means impiobable, we will consider the state
ment to be true until we have information to
the contrary. The formal announce
ment of a league of this kind
between the powers named, will
cause profound agitation throughout Europe.
Its objects "cau only be of an offensive character,
and its result may possibly be a war in which
all the great nations of the continent will be
involved. Hatred of Prussia is the
inspiration of the, scheme; thirst for revenge
and anxiety to check the growing influence of
Prussia will furnish the motives for the devel
opment of the designs of the allies. Austria
still smarts under the humiliation heaped upon
her by Pmssia in the late war; a&d although we
can see that her defeat at that time has been
of use to her, in compelling her Emperor to
liberalize his government so that it now has v a
stronger hold upon the people than it ever had,
she still looks anxiously for an op
portunity to retrieve her lost position
as one of the most powerful nations of Europe.
In her hatred of Prussia she has the sympathy
of Nagoleon. who, despite his pacific speech of
yesterday, is jealous of Prussian influence,
and of the power which checks his schemes for
enlarging his boundaries., It has been believed,
for a long time, that a secret understanding
existed between France and Austria, upon the
Prussian question. French influence has been
'clearly- visible in many of the movements
made by the Austrian government, as for in
stance in the abortive scheme, proposed some
time ago, for the formation of a South German
Confederation, with Austria at its head. But
these two nations alone dared not assume the
responsibility of breaking the peace of Europe,
while the possible attitude of any other one of
the great powers remained a subject of conjec
ture. Russia, indeed, held the balance, and in
the event of conflict could have turned the
6cale either one way or the other, as would
have suited her purposes. But with Russia
pledged to support the other malcontents, Aus
tria and France will be able to assume a very
threatening altitude, and to excite gravest fears
for the safety of whatever power they chsose
to select for their antagonist. .What special in
ducement was held out to Russia by the other
parties to this league, can only be conjectured
remotely. Liberty to follow his own sweet
will in Turkey, has long been coveted by the
Russian Emperor, and it may be that France
and Austria have promised a policy of non-in
terference with Russian operations in this di
rection, as the reward for Russian support in
other quarters. This would be a gross viola
tion of French pledges to defend the Sultan
from aggression, but it is not probable that
Napoleon would hesitate to break faith with
Turkey, if he could gain substantial advan
tage by such perfidy.
The possible attitude of England in the
presence of such a complication is very uncer
tain. Tli . 1 British government, at present, is
, allied with France in its protectorate of Turkey;
and it would be likely to regard with indigna
tion any violation on the part of the Emperor
of his promise to preserve the balance of power
by keeping the Sultan upon his feet. This
feeling would be intensified by the fact that this
treachery was bom of a desire to inflict injury
upon Prussia, a nation with which England is
united by ties of kindred, of Protestant faith,
and of liberal sympathies. It is a matter of
doubt, however, whether even such provocation
would induce any British government to inter
fere actively, if a war should result. The
policy of England for a .long time past has
been peaceful; arid the disposition to avoid
expensive foreign coiuplications"has become
stronger than ever since the voice of the people
lias been heard more distinctly in public affairs.
Of such little importance, in consequence, has
English opinion of continental polities come to
he regarded, that it is likely her sentiments
upon this subject have not even been con
sidered.
The attitude ofltaly will probably be worthy
of more important consideration. Although
the French Imperial family is closely allied to
that of the Italian king, the people of ltaly,
their ministers, and even the heir apparent to
the throne, incline rather to a Prussian than a
French alliance. Italy will never be satisfied
until she includes Home and the papal domin
ions in her domain. France alone prevents
the consummation of her wish; and French'
interference upon inore than one occasion when
Rome might have been absorbed byTtaly, lias
excited a feeling of intense bitterness against
France, jf Prussia is placed upon the defen
sive by this alliance, she will be quick to tempt
Raly with a premise of the coveted Imperial
city, and Italy will he likely to yield
her support to Prussia for the sake of
the prize. Even then, Prussia, with all
her own great strength and the assistance of
her ally, will light to a disadvantage with such
powerful adversaries; and a wav may end
most disastrously for her. We sincerely hope
that such a conflict will never be beaun. Wliatr
river the ultimate consequences to the relative
positons of the nations that participate in it, it
will he attended by frightful loss of life, awful
suilering, devastation and misery, for which
there will be no reasonable gain to the people
of any country. Where great principles are at
stake war is excusable; in this instance it
would be wicked and atrocious, for at the best
it can only he a contest between jealous rulers
for .power, influence, revenge rind the un
profitable honor of holding a commanding po
sition in Europe.
Tin; roou women.
With all the enlightenment of this latter end
of the Nineteenth Century; with all the eman
cipation that has been wrought from the
ancient fetters of ignorance and prejudice, the
women still have a hard time of it in proving
their right to live as decent and respectable
equals of the other half of creation. At what
ever point they seek to break through the old
barriers that hem them in, they are met bjr
some doughty old knight, armed cap-a-pie in
the rusty cumbersome aririor of past traditions,
ready to drive them back into the cooped-up
pen in which they have suffered so much in all
i he pj&t generations. When the poor wome

resolved, that they would, be doctors,:
and came forward, quietly and modestly,*
to peer into the mysteries, of medicine, the
brave men of the lancet,.the mortar and pestle
and pill-box, rallied bravely to the defence
of their sacred rights, and “charged with all
their chlvalryf’ upon interlopers.
And now, when the poor women who slave in
our public schools for poorer pay than we give
to our cooks, or coachmen,—if we happen to
own such.luxuries,—put in a piteous, plea for a
little bettor pay, champions of the male sex are
not wanting to break a lance in defence of
those good old traditions by which man held
woman as , - .
I ‘Something better than his dog, a little dearer
than nis horse.”
In this gallant raid upon the half-starved
women of our public schools, at the Board of
School Controllers, yesterday, we are glad to
say, hilt three men were found willing to deny
to them a chance for a scanty living. By a vote
of 19 to 3, the report of the Special" Commit
tee, proposing an increase.of about twenty-five
per cent, in the salaries of the public school
teachers, was adopted. Mr. President Stein
metz opposed the increase. Here is bis crush
ing argument: . /
“So with the lady teachers. They wore un
dergoing an apprenticeship, and should re
ceive pay accordingly. He' believed that the
young ladies were abundantly supplied with
spending money, He knew men who paid
hut five dollars a week for board. Certainly
the woman should get it for three dollars and
a half. Women nowhere were paid as much
as men. A woman can perform for herself, in
reference to her clothing, • what a man could
not do ; and, generally speaking, the -respon
sibility of a family, where there bo a family,
rests upon the man. ,So it is that Vie male should
receive more than the female. The women in the
schools of onr city are better paid than are tlio
employees of any private or public establish
ment. Ho did not believe in that' sentimental
ism which hold that, these women teachers
were not amply paid. Slany of these teachers
were, in reality, children apprentices, and the
pay they received per week was better than
they could get in any store.”
Fortunately for these extravagantly-paid
young women, with their abundant spending
money, their cheap board, (President Stein
metz actually knows men who pay but five
dollars a week for hoard; we know some,
down in Bedford street, who only pay seventy
five cents a w.eek), their light and pleas
ant work, there was but one Steinmctz, but one
g,Elkin, hut one Green, among the Controllers,
and we do not believe there will be even that
many.in Councils when the question of appro
priation comes up. -Mr. Steinmetz’s speech,
yesterday, takes care of itself so completely
that it is not worth while to answer it; but we
do wish that that gentleman would, just for
one week, take board somewhere at five dol
lars a week—or three-and-a-half, if he prefers
it—and then take a class of restless children in
one of our public schools, for six hours a day,
with two hours extra, at his five-dollar hoard
ing hoßse; preparing for the next day’s work.
Meanwhile somebody else might be made
President of the Board of Controllers of the
Public Schools; Mr. Elkin, for instance, or Mr.
Green.
The Controllers of the Public Schools made
an admirably sensible report, yesterday, on the
salary question; hut we object to such a bad
example being set for the children in the pub
lic schools as is found in the vicious habit of
putting adverbs between the preposition to,
and the verb in the infinitive. “To carefully
review at home,” and “to carefully investigate
the subject,” are specimens of an ugly trick of
bad writing, which do not look well in the
official communications of an erudite body like
our Board of Controllers of Public 'Schools. '

' The New York Times says:
The work of completing the Spanish' flo
tilla,now lying at the Delamater Iron Works,
is proceeding rapidly, and there is every prd3-
peet of the vessels’ Completion by the first
week in December. Moored in tiers, side by
side, in the Delamater basin, the little craft
present a busy scene. On their decks, joiners
and ship carpentens are engaged in putting
finishing touches to the houses, companion
ways and rails; sail-makers and rig
gers arc bending sails, rattling down
and palntiDg rigging, and setting up
shrouds and backstays; below: aud in the
cuisine, cabinet-makers, upholsterers and tin
smiths devote themselves to rendering the
, future homes of the nautical Dons as comfort
able as possible. Still all this work and trouble
may be of little service to Spain, inasmuch as
the United States Authorities are fully deter
mined, for aught any one yet knows to the
contrary, to hold the craft perpetually. The
little armed steamer Maria, from the Navy
Yard, watches faithfully over them while thoy
are being worked upon. When ready for sea
there is every probability that the authorities
will remove the fleet to the Brooklyn Navy
Y ard.
A startling rumor is abroad, to the effect
that the vessels are to be burned and scuttled
by the enemies of Spain, while iying at their
dockß on the Hudson. There is good reason
to believe that the friends of Cuba and Peru:
have long regarded them with anxiety. Fear
ing that our Government may bo prevailed
upon to release the craft, they will probably
strike a desperate blow at them while yet
there Is time to do it. Dark Novem
ber nights, when the storm-clouds hide
the moon and stars, it will be very
easy for, some expert Hudson river pirate, in
the pay of these enemies of Spain, to creep
Subtly along shore, enter the basin in Ins
ght shallop, daub the sides of the iirst two or
three vessels in the tier with benzine, apply
the torch, and in a few minutes the whole
•would be ablaze. Tney are built of wood,
moored sldo by side, aud should afresh breeze
be blowing, a seaman knows at which
end of the tier to start tho fire so
that it will burn rapidly and well.
In such an event the fleet .would be
destroyed long before assistance could arrive,
and if any vessels were saved from the devour
ing element, it would only be by scuttling and
sinking them,which would attain the object of
the Incendiaries just as well as the destruction
by fire. The rumor may be groundless, but it
is exceedingly probable. .A strong guard of
watchmen will be immediately placed on board
tbe vessels, who will watch at night carefully,
and suffer none to approach them.
The BpatiisU transport Euterpe, which re
turned from Havana a few days ago, is also
at the Delamater Iron Works, undergoing re
pairs

Wednesday, Nov. 17.—The local money narks t con
tinues to oxhiblt the anomalous features which have
characterized it for some wcoks past. On “oaU" money
Is abundant and easy of access whether on government
or Btock collaterals, but time contracts
are very, unpopular among lenders, and the
class of mercantile borrowers, who are ih
strong force from day to day, find it difficult to force
their paper into circulation even at the usurious rates
now current. This extreme caution of discounters lcokt
very like distrust, but it probably proceeds less from a
want of confidence In business credits than of the future
of the market. Lenders are, we surmise, a little over
anxloua to hold theif“balances well in hand for any
emergency in the future.
Oall loans are easy at 6 per cent., but discounts are
nominal, and it seems usoleßS to quote.
Gold continues quiet but firm. Opening premiums,

BENT DETECTIVE.
Particulars of His Escape.-Cnrlons Rev
■ elntions.
[prcm the New Orleans Picaynne, Sot. 12. J
The public were apprised, through the
Picayune, of the arrest, last Sunday morning,
on hoard Of the steamer Great Republic, of
the notorious Colonel J. H. Alexander, Who
has been obtaining largo sums of money in
various places by palming himself off as a gov
ernment agent, who it Is believed is really
possessed of many important secrets of pow
erful rings formed for the purpose of defraud
ing the United States revenue. Wo have just
.learned that he escaped last night from the'
custody of a Deputy United States Marshal.
Itseems that previous to Alexander’s arrival
in the .'city Mr. Max Dinkenspell made an
affidavit before United States Commissioner
War Ten charging him with receiving from
him ,as a compromise $5OO for an alleged vio
lation of the revenue lawß. A warrant for
his arrest was at once Issued and placed in
the hands of Deputy Marshal W. F. Loan,
who madetlie arrest as soon as the Great Re-„
public landed, which was at five o’clock Sun
day morning. .
The prisoner was carried before the Com
missioner on Monday for a hearing, and
granted until Thursday- to 2nd bonds—to be,
however, under the charge of the Deputy
Marshal, who put up with his prisoner attho
Gity Hotel. On Sunday afternoon, it seems,
Alexander, while enjoying the freedom of the
hotel,was arrested by special Officer Cunning
ham, of the Metropolitan Police, on a tele
gram from Jackson, Miss., but .Deputy Mar
shal Loan effected his release. While Deputy
Doan and Superintendent Cain were con
versing on the subject Alexander slipped
awav, but was rearrested on Baronne street,
in about an hour, by Doan, who retained him
ip custody uniil ten minutes to eight o’clock
last evening, when he again escaped and has
not since been found.
Deputy Marshal Doan states that the pri
soner had been in low spirits, weeping and
evincing the most poignant grief, and they
entered their room together preparatory to
taking a walk. While the officer was chang
ing his apparel Alexander mode some excuse
to go out a moment, and, leaving the room,
incontinently absconded.
About five minutes after the prisoner’s de
parture,a servant carried up to Loan two letters,
one addressed to Alexander and one to him
self ; the latter bad been picked up in tho ball,
and upon the envelope were a few lines say
ing that his (Alexander’s) body would bb
found in the Mississippi river, at the foot of
Canal street, and the letter itself contained in
structions as to the disposition of his body and
effects, which were to be sent to his residence
on Fifth avenue, New York, where ho is said
to have lived in elegant stylo.
Alexander is about forty-five years of age,
five feet eight inches high, has a ruddy com
plexion, head partly bald, black liair, heavy
black moustache, and a Jewish cast of counte
nance., He is a German, speaks broken Eng
lish, and has a fine address. It is believed
those parties who were largely interested in
defrauding the revenue, and who fear damag
ing disclosures, have spirited the prisoner on.
He stated to the Marshal that he was here on
a $62,000 transaction. One of his favorite
dodges was to pass himself off as a brother-in
law of Vice President Colfax.
FRANCE.
The Plot to Assassinate the Emperor
The Paris correspondent of the New York
Times savs:
The cable will have probably transmitted
the rumor of the discovery of a plot against
the Emperor’s life. When the police get hold
of anything that can be magnified into the
semblance of a conspiracy, you may be sure
that it loses nothing in the carriage, even
though the distance be only from Compiegn e
to Paris. As the first account of- the affair is
that which has, no doubt, reached yau, let me
redace it to its proper proportions by giving
you the facts. In the first place the is not
the slightest evidence that there was any 1
thing|Oia plot in question, and I think it wil
be even difficult to make Out that there was
any design on the part of the individual ar
rested to barm his Majesty at all. The facts
are simply these: About nine o’clock in the
evening a Zouave who was stationed as a sen
try on the terrace of the gardens, detected a
man stealing toward the palace under cover of
the.trees. lie challenged him,and finding that
he could not give the password, arrested him.
being questioned, he' stated that his name was
Philippe, and that he had come from Com
piegne to kill theJEmperor. He allowed him
self to be passively conducted to the Police
Station, and, on being examined by the In
spector his replies were found to he so inco
herent that lie was at once set down as insane.
This impression was still farther confirmed by
the fact that he bad neither; arms nor papers
of any kind on his person. On Monday
he was subjected to another interroga
tory by M. Nez, the Procure!® Impe
rial, and M. Scotel, a Judge d’lnstruction.
Nothing has transpired regarding the result of
this second examination, and the man still
continues in prison. It is hardly to be sup
posed, from what I have stated to you, that
anything can be made out of the affair to
damage the political opponents of the Govern
ment. Even the “ irreconcilables ” would not
be likely to resort to such clumsy means to ac
complish their ends.
THE INDIAN PEACE COMMISSION.
Tfcelr Beport.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald says:
The Indian Peace Commission meet here to
morrow to hear the report of Messrs. Welch,
Brunet and Bishop, a sub-committee sent out
to examine into the condition of the Indians.
George H. Stuart, of Philadelphia, and Felix
B. Brunet, of Pittsburgh, two members of the
Commission, arrived this evening; tho others
are expected in tho morning. The report of
the sub-committee, after being approved by
the other members of the Commission, will
be submitted to the Secretary of the
Interior and by him embodied in his
report to Congress. The report is quite
lengthy, and goes into details not-only of the
present condition of the Indians, hut of their
past history. Among the recommendations
made is one that the Witcliitas, a friendly
tribe, be assigned a" reservation of their own.
It appears that they have been among the
most illy used of the Indian tribes, both by
whites and|tlie Indians, and according to the
terms of a recent treaty all their lands
have, been given away ' to other tribes,
leavfhg the Witcbitas homeless. The
committee were among the Indians thirty
six days after they left railroad
communication, and were treated with great
consideration by the military authorities.
"'Messrs. George H. Stuart and Brunet called
upon the President this evening. It is under
stood that he cordialty approves of what has
been done by the Commission, and is anxious
to have their plans carried out. It may be
stated here that there is no foundation for the
stories which have been circulated relative to
differences between the Commissioner of In
dian Affairs and the Peace Commission. They
have worked together in entire harmony from
the beginning.

MORTGAGE BONDS,
Free of Government Tax,
At 95 and Accrued Interest;
This riiad runs through the richest and most
thickly settled portion of this magnificent
State, and is the only link, wanting to connect
St. Bonis and St. Paul by , a direct line, 147
miles shorter than any .other.
It runs through tho great coal fields of
Southern lowa to the North where coal is up
dispensablo and must he carried.
It mm from the great lumber regions of the
North, through a district of country which is
destitute of this prime necessity. . ‘
It does not bun through a wilderness,
where it would wait for years for a population
to give it business, but through a tier of, coun
ties which are now producing about twenty
million bushels of grain, most of which; is
freight for railroads.
Forty-five miles are just finished, and the
Superintendent reports that on the portion
open for business the net earnings are more
than the interest liabilities.
Sixty miles more are graded, and a million
and a . half, of dollars have already'been ex
pended on the work.
The mortgage is made to the Farmers’ Boan
and Trust t'o., and bonds can be issued only
at the rate of $16,000 per mile, or only half the
amount upon some other roads. Special se
curity is provided for the principal and for the
payment of interest.
First mortgages upon most railroads are the
very safest investments, and so far as we can
learn, there is not a single completed line in
the Northwest which is not only paying its
interest, but a good dividend upon its stock.
The immense grain and other freights to be
carried away, and the domestic supplies to be
brought in, insure a profitable business.
First Mortgage. Bonds for so small an
amount upon a road running through such a
rich and already well-settled part of lowa, can
well be recommended as a perfectly safe as
well as very profitable investment. At tha
present rate they pay about ten per cent, on
jhe investment. Over $400,000 have already
been taken by the Company’s officers and
others interested in the enterprise. Pamphlets,
