THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17, 1010.
Hrle Statement Kor n Year.
The Erie railroad Issued yester
day Us statement for tho year end
ed June 30, which was decidedly
favorablo In comparison with re
ports for other roads and In strik
ing contrast with tho position of tho
Erie two years ago, when the Into
E. H. Harrlman rescued tho road
from an Impending receivership.
For the past llscal year the Erie
rnllrond, after providing for all Its
llxed charges and nfter allowing a
substantial sum for improvements
and betterments, shows a surplus
equivalent to the full 4 per cent, on
both classes of tho preferred stock
nnd to more than ii per cent, on tho
$112,000,000 of common stock.
There was n large Increase for tho
year In the gross earnings of the
property, which nmounted to $54,'
8GG,190 for the twelve months end
ed June last, compared with $50,'
441,161 earned during tho previous
year. The net earnings showed an
Increase of J2.22S.9S1, and tho in
come from other sources than opera'
tlon an Increase of ?1,095,G14
Charges for Interest, rentals, etc.,
showed an Increase of only 4G5,
GOG. The net Income showed tho
large increase of $2,8G9,S39. Tho
sum left after meeting charges was
?G,S0G,543, and from this was de
ducted $737, 08G for additions and
betterments, compared with $381,
92G similarly expended the previous
year.
After these deductions there was
left $5,0G9,4GG, compared with $2,
5G5.717 In 1908. while In 1909
there was a deficit of $2,199,22G
Compared, then, with 190S, the Erie
shows a recovery of $7,250,000 in
surplus earnings.
Not the least striking feature of
the excellent report that the large
surplus shown above all charges
was earned In the fnce of condi
tions surrounding railroad opera
tions which many railroad men have
been predicting would embarrass the
railroads, particularly the weaker
railroads, with which the Erie was
classed.
These conditions include the in
creases In wages which the railroads
had to grant this spring, and in
another direction the closer regula
tion of railroad affairs by the gov
ernment, which lately has prevented
the application of a general Increase
In freight rates.
The rescuing of the Erie railroad
from impending receivership in the
spring of 1908 by the late E. H
Harrlman Is one of the spectacular
events in Wall street history, and
already the benefits the Erie rail
road has been deriving from Its Im
provements are bearing out the view
which Mr. Harrlman took when
from a sickbed he raised overnight
the $S, 000, 000 which was needed
to save the Erie. New York Times

Some of the Dates Already Made for
tlie Congressman.
Congressman William Stiles Den-
net arrived in town last evening
and will remain over Sunday with
his family and relatives, says Sat
urday's Port Jervls Gazette.
The New York Tribune today says
the boom of Congressman Bennet
for the nomination for governor is
moving along. Mr. Bennet has
number of dates to speak to upstate
audiences, and more are being made
On Wednesday he speaks at the Al
legheny county convention at Bel
mont, and the following day Is to
make an address at Mchniondville
Schobarle county. On Saturday of
next week he returns to the city to
attend the picnic of the 19th as
sembly district Republican organi
zation at the Manhattan Casino. He
said yesterday that at least 11,000
persons would be present In the af
ternoon and evening.
On August 23 Congressman Ben
net Is to speak at the Tioga county
fair, and he has promised to speak
at Lockport at a date yet to be
named.
The Best Water.
A writer in Vim does not think
highly of mineral waters. He says:
"The best water Is tho water contain
ing the least mlnernl matter In It
Tho nearer you can come to getting
absolutely pure water to drink tho
more easy It will bo to keep in good
health. The simplest form In which
absolutely pure water Is found Is in
rain. And rain-water collected from
off a clean surface and stored in u
clean reservoir Is ns good as any
thing one can find. The best substi
tute for rainwater Is good distilled
water. In fact, distilled water may
be somewhat preferable, as It Is not
subject to accidental contamination
In the many ways rainwater Is. To
argue that absolutely pure water la
not helpful Is equal to saying that the
addition of pollution Improves It a
proposition that will not stand tha
test of hard common 86080."
Where Eyetlght la Good,
The best eyesight Is possessed by
those people whose lands are vast and
barren and where obstacles tending
to shorten the sight are few. Eski
mos will detect white fox in the snow
at a great distance away, while the
Arabs of the deserts of Africa have
such extreme powers of vision that
on the vast, plains of the desert they
wUl pick out objects Invisible to the
ordinary eyo at ranges from one to
ten miles distant Among civilized
people the Norwegians have better
eyesight than most. If not all, others,
as they mora generally fulfill the nec
essary conditions. The reason why
defective eyes are so much on the In
crease In England and In America
lies In too much study of books In
early life and In badly lighted rooms.

RABBIT
ACTED AS
BALL.
BASE-
Pitcher Jack Krausse of the
Upland "Big Four" team should
piny In phenomenal luck during
the balance of tho season if
there Is anything In the rnbblt
foot superstition. In a practice
game held on the grounds of
tho Media (Pa.) Delnwnre County
League club n rnbblt Jumped out
of a clump of grass nnd started
ncross tho diamond. Krnusse
did not see It, but was endeavor
ing to catch n ball thrown In
from the outfield.
Before tho ball arrived, how
ever, tho rnbblt Jumped Into his
hnnds, nnd, thinking he had the
sphere, he threw tho animal to
the second baseman to catch the
runner. Tho latter ducked, nnd
the rnbblt mado Its escape.
HOME RUNS
Washington critics say that Henry,
the Amherst college catcher. Is the
mast promising player corralled there I
since Johnson wns landed.
Rariden of tho Boston Nationals is
the most itnprwed catcher in the busi
ness. Ho was very punk last season,
hut now sizes up Impressively.
Joe Birmingham of tho Cleveland
Americans undoubtedly earns the dis
tinction of being the greatest throwing
outfielder In tho American league.
It Is a peculiar feature about tho
play of tho New York Nationals thnt
they cannot steady themselves when
their pitchers start to go up. The rest
of the- team Just simply has got to go
up too.
The veteran Cy Young Is using the
spltball every now and then. When
he finds himself In a tight pinch, the
veteran resorts to tho moistened de
livery. It is but recently, however,
Mint Younir has acquired the spltball.
Has Counle Mack a dope box? Ho
must feed his athletes something. Cy
Morgnn was Just an ordinary dub with
Boston, yet when he reached Philadel
phia ho perked up and is now one of
the star performers of tho American
league.

It Is doubtful If there hns ever been
a season when so many players turn
ed down by the major leagues the year
before have shown such remarkable
reversal of form in tho minor leagues.
Take, for Instance, the members of tho
Minneapolis team In tho American as
sociation. The grnnd showing of the
Millers in this year's rnco Is due solely
to tho star playing of the innjor league
castoffs Ferris, Altlzer, Rossman, Cra-
vath, Williams, Owens nnd Tom
Hughes. The Chicago Americans
thought Owens and AJtlror were not
good enough and sent them back to the
Class A league. Rossman was sold by
Detroit to St. Louis, but he refused
to play thero and consequently was
hurried off to tho minors. Tho St.
Louis Americans also fired Hobo Fer-
rls and Jimmy Williams, believing that
the pair had seen their best days. But
It's dollars to doughnuts that Mnnager
Jack O'Conner would glvo anything to
hnve tho pair back. Rossman would
also help the Browns considerably.
It Is due to tho work of these veter
ans that Minneapolis is in lino for the
American association banner this (tea
son. The men are setting- the league
afire with their sensational batting and
fielding. There is Jimmy Williams.
Jamesey bit Just about .220 last season
with tho Brownies. Tho wonderful lifo
renewer, release to the American asso
ciation, has brought James back, to tho
.300 brigade. Uo is now hitting .232.
Cravath had two chances to moke
good in the majors and failed because
be was unable to swat Now be la bat
ting: -152, 'according to the latest Amer
ican association marks.
Otis Clymer was hammering eocie
what'llko .108 last year with. Wash
ington. It la .208 with Minneapolis
this season.
Altlzer was another .153 swatter
with the White Sor. Now tt la .291
with Minneapolis. Tom Hughes arm
was in such poor shape that Washing
ton sent bltri to Minneapolis lost' fall.
His work this season' has been' so

Here Is a list of others who are do

ures last year In fast company:
Ach Loole Rltter of Kansas City

was hitting nearer .100 than .200. Ho

They all look strange to us who were
used to their .250, .240 and .150 aver
