Farmers Deposit National Bank. Pittsburgh, Pa. Dear Sirs Referring to the proposed issue of $.1,500,000 First Mortjra and Collateral Trust 5 Per Cent Ciold Bonds of the Harbison-Walker Refractories Company, your attention Is called to the assets on which the Issue Is based. Two-thirds of the twenty-seven plants owned by the Company are of chlnery construction, all of them containing costly and heavy ms The corroration has in fee over 80,000 acres of fire clay, coal and san-lstLlanda' and under extremely low royalties and perpetual lease over 22 000 acres of the same. It also owns 32, employes'- houses and 50 miles of railroad, with full equipment of motive power and rolling- stock.

The buildings, machinery, tram and railroads could not be duplicated at the present time under $7,000,000 actual outlay, and in addition the Com. pany has in stock on hand, book accounts and cash. It is difficult to put a correct estimate of value on the clay and canister lands for the reason that it would be impossible to duplicate this asset in These bonds are coupon bonds of $1,000 each, with privilege of registration of principal or interest, or both. Principal and interest payable In gold coin of the United States, of the present standard of weight and fineness, without deduction from either principal or interest for any tax or taxes which said Company may, by any present or future laws of the United States or Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, be required to pay or retain on account of or from said principal or interest for any national, State or municipal purposes, the said Harbison-Walker Refractories Company agreeing to pay all such taxes. SINKING FUND.

The Company Is required to pay $175,000 annually to a sinking fund to provide for the redemption of the present issue, and including the $1,500,000 of bonds of the Harbison-Walker Company, to acquire which $1,500,000 of the present issue is to be used, and can be used for no other purpose. The Company reserves the right to redeem the whole or any part of the issue at any semi-annual interest period at 110 and accrued interest, upon giving six weeks previous notice by publication. The bonds now offered are sold to provide additional working capital, and also to provide in part for the cost of acquiring the plants, properties and capital stock of the following companies: Harbison-Walker Company Pennsylvania. Harbison Walker Company. Kentucky.

The Harbison-Walker Refractories Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania, with ail necessary powers for the manufacture of fire brick and other articles made of refractory materials, and all other powers deemed convenient, with a capital of 8,000,000 Preferred 6 Per Cent.

Cumulative Stock. 14,500,000 Common Stock. 3,500,000 First Mortgage and Collaterial Trust Bonds. By Its acquisition of the properties, stock, good-will and business of the above named Companies the Harbison-Walker Refractories Company owns and controls twenty-seven complete up-to-date works, with a capacity to manufacture over 1,000,000 tons high-grade finished material per annum. The Company has 52,000 acres of fire clay, coal and ganister lands, and the companies taken over by it have cash and quick assets amounting to $1,900,000, which are to be used as working capital.

In forming the Harbison-Walker Refractories Company, only those concerns were taken over that are first-rate in reputation and whose clay lands have been proven to be of fine quality and favorably located. Reputation in the fire brick business is very valuable and takes many years to acquire. Attention Is called to the accompanying letter of Messrs. S. P.

Harbison and S. C. Walker, and to the Accountants Report, which shows average earnings for the past two years by the plants acquired, when operated separately, of over four and one-half times the amount of the annual interest on the Companies' bonds, and at the same rate on the present Increased capacity as now in operation, over six and one-half times the amount of bond interest. 110 78 200 270 115 140 143 120 62 63 70 71 13 cw.i. luvnuuu.

Such a sum was sufficient to make every one talk about it. The club ha been noted for it politics, and till is to a degree.

The Jockey Club, If we are to trust to the chronicler, was born at the tstao-Hshment of a man who kept a pigeon shooting ground. Many of -the people who belonged to the cercle of the union belonged also to this club, whose distinguishing note was elegance to the last degree. Its members came to have the name of "Arthur," after it is said, the name of the founder. From this club, says Tailemant. in a contemporary, came the Societe d' Encouragement, and horse racing was given itsv definite form ana existence In France.

A course was mapped out at Chantilly, and the first meeting was held there in 1834. The ciutt moved its quarters to some premises at the corner of the Boulevard des Italiens and the Rue de Holder. Lord Seymour was president, which is tantamount to saying that there was no undue sense of decorum about the proceedings of the club. Bottles and dish covers had a way of flying out of the windows, and we may believe, with the recorder of these events, that simple folk marvHsI- The Cercle Agricole. which belongs to these times also, has been more po.itical in its history than agricultural, it Has for presiaent tne uuc oe member of that illustrious family which has through the centuries played so large a part in the fortunes of ranee.

ORIGIN OF BRITISH MUSEUM; The Jocose anticipation of Mr.

John Morley in his speech at Edinburgh that the government, on their rapid and gay road of reaction, will bring in a bill to revive "that wisdom of our ancestors in the way of lotteries," awakens I tho. ttons or dqjo Gazette. Lotteries in England had be gun, in the seventeentn century, not finally suppressed till 1823. tSx" minster Bridge, which was begun was built chiefly from the produce ot lotteries The British Museum owes Its origin to lotteries. In 1753 lotteries were established to purchase the Sloane collection and the Harleian manuscripts, which were combined with the Cottonian collection and deposited in Montague House, under the name of the British Museum.

An Author Who Writes Stanaing. Though close upon 70 years of age, Mr. Baring-Gould, the author of more books than any living Englishman, is as upright today as he was KO years ago. He. attributes this erectness to his invariable custom of writing at a high desk in a standing position.

Mr. Gould always writes with a quill pen, and his manuscript is not beloved by printers. As a relaxation from literary work Mr. Gould, like the late Mr. Gladstone, often spends a couple of hours chopping down trees.

ADDITIONAL MARRIAGE LICENSES. There is probably no other business tlon are necessary to establish a htgh reputation. Fire brick linings In blast furnaces should run from four to eight years, and in blast furnace stoves from ten to sixteen years. As a reputaticn cannot be established on a single record. It may be readily seen that it would take many years to have a.

dozen or more records to prove that the materials turned out Dosseaa th requisite qualities for the work demanded of them. The Company practically controls the entire output of high-crude brick made by manufacturers of established reputation. Of the concerns taken over, there is only one whose president has been in the business but twelva years: several oihera have been engaged in it for twenty years and at least two for over thirty years. Ninety per cent of the stock has been subscribed for by the manufacturers, thus Insuring: is. continuance of the man agement under the direction of the most experienced brick manufacturer of the country.

It was understood that no effort was made at this morning's conference to pull down the name of Ralph M.

THE DAY IN WALL STREET. New Tork, June 25. The stock market opened firmer on the better news from London and the Improvement In the market there. Commission houses had moderate orders, but were rather-inclined to buy stocks. The Reading? Issues were firm on reports of weakening among the miners and a belief that the strike was nearing an end.

Amalgamated Copper was heavy and Boston houses were mostly rather bearish. Canadian Pacific gained a full point early. Missouri Pacific established an advance of in a few quotations. Wabash common and preferred advanced and respectively. The Steel stocks ruled 4 higher St.
