ALL RIGHT! And It Is a Good Thing. Public Opinion on the Great Railroad Combination. Trusteed of the Cincinnati Southern Are Happy. Easiness Men and Railroad Offl jials Speak Well of It Now Clear the Track For aa Enlarged Southern Trade. Interviews With Prominent Citizen on the All-Absorbing Topic is Commercial Circle.

Thrr does not appear 14 be mtloh Jlf-frrrnce of opinion amoris; business men. railroad officials' anl others aa to the roeiiu of Ih combination Uln tha tkiulhrrn Itailway Company, the Cincinnati. Hamilton and Iytn Railway Com-iny and Southern. The' detail of tbe. transaction.

Including the. terms of the traffic agreement under which the C-iiand li. and the Southern re" to Jointly operate the lease it the Cincinnati Southern, have not yet been mad public; but In the absence of these -particulars the general trend of public opinion la nearly all In -one direction the deal la a Uood one and promtiwa to increase the value of the "city's Inter -in the Cincinnati Houthera. and Indirectly to largely aurment the clty'a trade. Hon.

Fersuson, the father of the Cincinnati Houthirn Kallroad and the older! memlrt-r of the Board of Truatoea, waa found at hia residence on Iayton street, and asked wnat be thought about the combination. He said "I read -the accounts in Thi Rm-nrCR In regard to the deal, and what I understand- to be the traffic arranrement between the Southern Hallway Company and the Clnrfcwiatl. Hamilton and Dayton Ilallroad Cntnpany but without knowing the partlcuitfra of tbe trafTVc agreemeot 1 am not poanefleed of aufflclent facts to form and give an opinion aa to what effect It will have upon the Cincinnati Southern Railway and the city. If Is an agree-Dient which provides for the running of through can Utwwn the Cincinnati. Hamilton and Dayton system to the North and the territory heretofore covered by the Wueen and Crescent system of the South.

"then 'I think It will be advantageous to (be cHy. "If It be what I can only conjecture It to be from the 'statements made In Thi Ek-ttt-'iRait It will result In more traffic over the Cincinnati Southern Railway, and consequently an Increase of roes earnings. I suppose that It will also result In a decrease in expenses of 0erat-Ing, while at the same time It will necessitate an additktnal and greater outlay In fitting the Cincinnati Southern Railway for traffic. How" it will operate will be better known In a year's time. It will take at least that length of time to show how It will affect the Cincinnati Southern.

I believe that from the revival of trade and the great development of- the South that the arrangement, if properly constituted and carried out In good faith, will result beneficially fcoth to the Cincinnati Southern and the city of Cincinnati. ta-4tgoat ctJtnwxATt. John Carlisle, one of the Trustees of the Southern, said that he bad not yet seen the terms of the-agreement between tha two roads, but his Impression was that It would be a good thins for Cincinnati and tha Southern Road. The Southern Railway Company desired to extend ita traffic in the North and Northwest, and there waa no better way bey could do It than by a combination with tha C. H.

and a Cincinnati road, which controls the Cincinnati Southern. Under the circumstances and the knowledge that he had la the matter. Mr. Carlisle aid he1 waa pleased at 'the situation of affairs. It would.

In bis opinion, be to the Interest of the. Southern Railway Company to boom Cincinnati and these roada. The company had very little seaboard business, and it waa lta wish to extend Into other territory that led to the present arrangement. Henry Mack, Trustee of the Cincinnati Southern Railway: "The public does not seem to get at this question right. The Impression seems- to be that every time there in a transaction in the stock of the company that haa a lease on the road that that road la changing bands.

This la not so. for the clty'a property Is leased to the Cincinnati. New Orleans and Texas Pacific Road for 23 years at a certain rental, which changes In terms every five years. This leas la dated October 11. ltSl.

and haa yet II year, -to run. CITT" INTERESTS tmcHAXOtD. "The history of tha operating company Is that once or twice already the control of the majority of the stock haa changed hands, and yet the road has operated regularly and the rent haa been paid promptly. This being the case, the present change la only of the Directors and Managers of the operating company. The encouraging feature, however, of the settlement of the conflicting interests In the stock of the operating company is that it will have the patronage and friendly alliance of two powerful railroad companies, and this is bound, of course, to materially Increase the earning capacity of the operating company' and sake the clty'a property more valuable.

"I can't tell what will be done when the remaining 11 years of the lease have Passed: A proposition to extend the lease waa discussed tome time ago, but nothing waa done7lmd It la useless to discuss tha ejttenilon of the lease In the absence of a proposition on the part of the lessees of the road for an extension." R. Smith." Trustee of the Cincinnati Southern Railway: "All we know at present bout the deal la what we see In the papers, and, from that I am disposed to take a cheerful view of the whole matter. It puts our road under the Joint control of the Bomhera and C. H. and D.

systems, and. brings to as the intereat of the and D. Company In securing the bualneaa for the North from Cincinnati to be handled by the H. and IX The flrst great advantage to Cincinnati la In having additional security for our rent. iktsitt row MUTT.

"If there has heretofore been any apprehension about the default of the rent that ts now ail removed by getting the additional security of the Southern and H. and D. systems Interested, If this scheme la ear ned out urrponn in ui newspapers we may expect additional business. This, of course, will make things much better for both the Cincinnati Southern and the city of Cincinnati. It'a much better for our road So be la harmony -with the Southern ajrstem xhaa to have Ma opposition.

Perkins, wee has Interested himself to the affaire ef the CladaneU Beothera to a greater exteat than is generally accorded to railroad matters by a basl-aees man, expressed but lit tie surprise at the outcome ef Use contest of so long standing- He says: "The. deal waa concluded in New York between Mr. Samuel Spencer, representing J. p. Morgan A Co the Near York bankers, and Mr.

H. A. Taylor and Mr. It. D.

Woodford, represent tng the II. and D. party. The H. and D.

people held the majority of the extension bonds, which are secured by a deposit of the majority of the stock of the Alabama Great Southern Road. The contest haa beea over the possession of the Ala hams Great the connecting link be tween the Cincinnati Southern and the Flower system, which gives arc ess to the South and Southwest. As far aa Cincinnati Is concerned it looks aa though thesw parties together will undertake to fulfill the lease of the Cincinnati Southern." "This move will be of great value to the erty of Cincinnati." added Mr. Perkins. "I think that the parties will want an extension of the lease or buy the controlling Intereat Just as soon as they possibly can.

for this Is necessary to Justify them In making an expenditure In the Improvement of the property. I think, too, that the effect of the deal Is to place Cincinnati in a better position In reward to This arrange ment nas ocen tooaea tor oy me ior soms months, and I can express only the great-eat satisfaction upon learning of its con summation. While the arrangement Is greatly to the benefit of the people whohave millions of dollars involved. It Is aiao greatly to the intereat of the city of Cincinnati. OKI Or THRU THISOS.

There are now Just three things that the Southern Railway has before it; three ways In which they can proceed, now that they have settled the matter. First, there may be a termination of the receivership of ths f'tncinnatl. New Orleana and Texas Pacific This I do not think will come Immediately. To do this there would have to be an agreement to a settlement of the case that arose over the Doughty overissue of stock, upon which the receivership was ana that Is not likely to be obtained, in the sec ond place the company can advance money for the payment or the rental, so as to keep the lease uo for the remaining 11 Tears In their own hands, and in the meantime seek to get a renewal. In the third case the company can default in payment.

It will take two years to fight the case In Court, end the company can use this and the evidence that comes up as indicative of the fart that the road is not worth the capital that would bring an income or Il.ij,'J. rsARS ri version or business. Mr. Thomas Morrison said: "I would rather have had the Southern Railway get control outright. As It now Is that corporation will have hut a half Interest In the N.

o. and T. and It Is no more than natural to suppose that they will divert business over Hues in whlcn they are wholly interested. They hae the lMjlsvllle. New Alnany and ana the Louisville to curry traffic over, and It will be very convenient to une this route Instead of the Cincinnati south ern.

Of course, we do not know yet what traffic arrangetnenta have been made, and that may have a great deal to do with altering conditions." A. Howard Hlnkle I think that the com promise between the Southern Hallway Company and the Cincinnati. Hamilton and Dayton Is likely to prove a good thing ior incinnati. it mages a compact between two great lines, and the C. M.

and I. people are likely to see to It that business Is not diverted to the Atlantic seaboard snd that we don't get any the worst of It. The road that Cincinnati built to the South ought to be a great property, and It ts a matter of congratulation that la to be virtually managed and controlled by Interests that will favor the Queen City at all times. Hon. Charles P.

Taft I have not as vet fully digested the terms of the agreement between the Southern Railway Company and the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton, but I cannot see why It will not be a good thing for this city. Certainly It woul be netier ynan mat outsWe Interests should have rdVnplete control, and the C. H. and D. peot'le probably knew what i hev w.n.

doing and no one can accuse them of ever being disloyal to Cincinnati. I believe the arrangement Is the best for all concerned and will be productive of gratifying results. THE BEST THAT COITLU BE HONK. David Sin ton I really have not given any attention to the matter, but it strikes me. irom wnat i know, that the agreement is the best that could be mads under the cir cumstances, although It la possible thst I may change my mind after I become better siea.

e-very uncinnaiun ought to be for ocinnatl. and our Southern trari nmrhi to be Jt-alously guarded and cared for. Treasurer of the Iemorratlc "Big Forty" I am glad to hear that Cincinnati will come out all rbrht in this matter, and that the compact Is such a favorable one. If the Southern Railway Company will only give Cincinnati a fair show we will more than hold our own and get a bigger Southern trade than ever before. D.

O. Edwards. General Paasena-er As-ent of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Koao. who engineered the It. and D.

fight against the Southern Railroad Company rn the Alabama Legislature, aays: Very favorable traffic arrangements will necessarily follow, between the Southern ttauway tympany and the C. II. and D. and the Cincinnati Southern, and It innk. to me as though the arrangement would be of great benefit to both companies, and of incaic.uiaoie Deneui to tne trade or Cincinnati." Captain W.

Vlo PtmIH.m and Ueneral Manager of tha Raltimnre ami Ohio Southwestern Company, ex- t'ltmeu nimseii some weens ago as be lie v-ng that the Southern Railway Comf.anv would eventually gain complete control of the Cincinnati Southern. Yesterday, when asked mr his opinion on thv compromise, he reiterated his former asaortufn nH mA- ed: "When the lease runs out the Southern Company will probably get full control, but mar a long ways anead. and the present arrangement atrlkea me aa a.

good one for all concerned. m. Jreene. t.eneral Manager of the Cincinnati. Hamilton and I uvinn The deal Is practically an extension of the Southern Railway Company to Toledo and imiianapoiis via nncinnatl.

and an extension of the H. and D. to all points reached by the Southern Railway. I certainly consider it a very good thing for all concerned." AN OVERDOSE Of Morphine Causes tne Death of Mrs. I George Ionard, Profes-sionaTNuTse, Mrs, George Leonard, of 418 West Seventh street, died at 8:45 yesterday morning from the effects of an overdose of morphine.

Mrs. Leonard was 111 Saturday night, and whenjhe retired was suffering Intense pain. Being unable to sleep she requested Maggie McCarthy, a girl who lives in the same house, to get her some morphia to ease her pain. The McCarthy girl got the opiate, and Mrs. Leonard took a large dose of it.

She appeared to rest easy for a tune, and she waa left alone. Finally Mrs. Leonard called the McCarthy girl to her room again and asked for another dose of the narcotic This was given her, and she went to sleep Main. At daybreak Mrs. Leonard began to suffer again, and Dra.

Cleveland and Carey were m. At a giance me pnysicians saw that the woman was suffering from morphia poisoning. Antidotes and the stomach pump were used, but the patient died at the above hour. Mrs. Leonard was a profession al nurse, ana naa oeen in ine employ of LfT.

efide, Wlo Hag Ben LoyiJ To th Cans la Faror of "Homa tr. J. D. Bock. President ef the Cincinnati Tneoaophlcal Society, and Vice President of tha tbeoaophlcal organ but tioa In America, has returned from the reocat annnal convention of American Tbeoeophlets In Boa-ton, aad In an Interview with aa EaQtrraaa reporter said that tha con van tioa was the largest body of delegates that ever met la America.

Nearly all of tbe branches. 103 In number, were represented. "The general feeling In America baa for soma time beea one of great Impatience and dissatisfaction oa "account of tha hostile criticisms against Individ uaia. and the interruption of the legitimate work of the society occasioned thereby, be said. "It Is a singular fact that none of lesa charges or accusations agamst Mr.

Judge or others nave emanated from members In America, where he is best known, and where bis work for 20 years baa beea dona. It la admitted on all bands that ba baa beea unselfish, loyal to the cause, and untiring in his labors. There bad hence grown op tn tbe American section a determination either to put a stop to accusattona and discuss ions of a personal nature, or to separate this section la Its government and management of Its own affairs from all other organisations. This proposed action bed been very thor oughly discussed among the members in America prior to the convention, and while the section waa almost unanimous In its confidence and tap port of Mr. Judge, many good people regarded secession aa unwise or dangerous to the principles Involved.

A preamble and series of resolutions were introduced to the convention by me, declar ing, first, the entire autonomy of the Theo- sophtoal Society tn America. This means home rule tn all executive matters. Second. the adoption of a new constitution and by laws on this basis. Third.

Mr. Jndgs to be chosen President for life of tbe Theosoph leal Society in America, Fourth, Tbe dec laration of principles, The essential brotherhood of man as tbe basis of organ isation and object of work; subsidiary objects being the investigation of the laws and processes of man aad nature and the study of religions, science and philosophy, both ancient and modern. it waa further declared that Individual members of the so ciety had a perfect right to believe or dis believe In the existence of the masters or In any religious creed or philosophy con sistent with universal brotherhood, without injuring their status In the society. ACTOHOar AMD HOatB RULB. "The above programme waa put to a vote by roll-call of delegates from branches, and was carried by an overwhelming majority, 195 voting for autonomy and home rule and 10 voting against H.

after a full and free discussion of all matters Involved. Not a wordtof criticism or denunciation of any one was beard In the convention, which from beginning to end was conducted on rheosophlcal principles of fair and equal representation, open discussion and gov ernment by the majority. -No charges against Mr. Judge or any one else were gone Into by the convention. as no accusations came before It, It Is doubtful If the word "secession' applies to the action at Boston, as the declaration of autonomy and home rule claimed and put Into effect by this section Is equally open to all other sections, and in the end will be iouna a tar oecier Deals ror an International organisation than any other.

When tightly understood, therefore. Instead of being a bad move for theoeophy, I believe to be the best that could possibly be devised. It doee'itot conflict with Mme. Bla-vatsky's Idea of unity. As to how the English and other sections will take thla new departure It is difficult to say.

They may not readily understand H. The discussion over there has' been exceedingly warm between the friends of Mr. Judge and those who acknowledge Mrs. Beaant as a leader. The Swedish seotlon.

one of the largest In Europe, and speaking a different language, has been for some time demanding autonomy for Itself, and the probability la that our action In Boston will open the door for a reorganization of branches and sections everywhere. I think that Colonel Olcott will no longer be President de facto, but will retain the honorary of President Founder. Ha witx RBstotr. "Mr. Judge, of course, with the organization now adopted In America, will resign the office of Ice President of the General Theoaophlcal Society, as It Is not contemplated by us to have in the future any general executive officers.

These officers have heretofore been little more than figureheads, or empty titles aa the sections being so widely separated as Australia. America, India, Ac, Jurisdiction has been difficult and well-nigh Impossible. "The recent action In Boston was regarded by all present as the most Important legislation ever taken by the society anywhere, and calculated to promote brotherhood and harmony, and to Insure the legitimate work of the Theoaophlcal Society more than anything else. "As to the anti-Judge party forming an Independent society hers, the idea is ridiculous. "But two members, opposed to Mr.

Judge showed themselves at tbe convention. They were given every opportunity to express their views and treated with tha utmost courtesy. There were two or three dlssatis- ned members in Boston, some of whom have been In and out of the society several times already because thev could not man. age things to suit themselves. It Is from one of these, who baa no following whatever, that an article In one of the Boston papers pretended to represent the 'Independent Theoaophlcal Society which did not even exist on paper, much less ds facto.

As to how Annie Besant will take this new departure I have very little Idea. She has repeatedly stated that she haa no contention against Mr. Judge as an Individual, but only as Vice President, and that In no strict legal sense couia any or the charges made against him be proved. It would seem, therefore, a splendid opportunity for her to return to the legitimate work of the Theoaophlcal Society. If she does not do this, we In America have an equally good opportunity to ignore all that she says and does."

At thirteen months old be weighed exactly what be did at birth seven pounds. I began using Scon's En CLSIOir," sometimes putting a few drops in bis bottle, then again feeding it with a spoon; then again by the absorption method of rubbing it into bis body. Tbe effect was marvelous. Baby began to stouten and fatten, and became a beautiful dimpled boy, a wonder to alL Bcott'b Emcuiom supplied the one thingneedfuL Mas. Kkho Wnj.iiMa.' Scott's Emulsion is especially useful for sickly, delicate children when their other food fails to nourish them.

It supplies in a concentrated, easily digestible form, just the nourishment they need to build up and give them health and strength. It is Cod-liver Oil made palatable and easy to assimilate, combined with the Hypophosphites, both of which are most remarkable nutrients. Don tbe persuaded to accept a substitute Scott Bownc.
