" LIGHTNING PHRASES " is compiled for the purpose of pre- 5 senting to stenographers desirous of increasing their speed in >. the writing of phonography the shortest possible outlines for words, names, and phrases which are of daily occurrence in 22 conversation in the several walks of life. The result of twenty years' experience in the various de- 99 partments of Shorthand- writing, it is placed before the public * without an apology, believing that in itself is contained the z best and only argument for its existence. While only the general reporter will find it encumbent to memorize all the forms given, the amanuensis, the law, the uj legislative, the medical, and the theological reporter can each select a vocabulary from its contents for use in his or her S own peculiar field. 448280 THE ART OF PHRASING. NOT many stenographers realize the great importance and value of phrasing 1 , i.e., the ability to combine entire sentences in symmetrical, graceful, and perfectly legible outlines. I do not mean the phrasing of words that do not naturally com- bine, and where the connection is not obvious, but rather the uniting in phrases of words that are constantly occurring together. There are thousands of expressions in the English lan- guage in daily use in the various departments of commercial and professional life which, by the frequency of their occur- rence, become known by the term " stereotyped," and the stenographer who memorizes these expressions, together with the shortest possible phonetic outlines for the same, will invariably attain a higher rate of speed than he who, lacking such knowledge, writes the full outline for every word. The reporting of trials, references, and the taking of testi- mony is not the onerous task that it is reputed to be, provided the stenographer has thoroughly mastered the various ex- pressions peculiar to court work. Likewise the reporting of sermons, speeches, and even the medical lecture the bane of the most expert stenographer becomes also an easy task when the various expressions, together with the briefest pos- sible outlines for the same, have been mastered. Each phrase and contraction in "Lightning Phrases" is peculiarly different from the general outlines of regular words and sentences, therefore, being more readily distinguished, and by reason of these characteristics will be indelibly fixed in the minds of those memorizing them. VI THE ART OF PHRASING. I have found, by many years' experience in the practice of teaching- stenography, that pupils who, from a lack of manual dexterity and power of execution, had never hoped to become rapid shorthand writers, capable of doing verba- tim reporting, have obtained proficiency in performing such work by First Obtaining a complete mastery of the elementary principles of phonography. Second. Securing a thorough and practical understanding of every little detail of the system they write. Then gradually all the "fine points" in contractions and rapid expedients for the acquirement of speed have been im- parted, and at the conclusion of such a course of instruction the deficit of the hand, that which they lack in natural ap- titude, was counterbalanced by a knowledge of lightning phrases and contractions, producing as high a rate of speed, if not higher, than the speed attained by the stenographer who possesses agility of hand without such knowledge. If the stenographer who possesses manual dexterity and power of execution will follow the mode of procedure as stated in the above paragraphs, " First " and " Second," and will thoroughly familiarize and master " Lightning Phrases " and " Contractions," he will find himself " one of the brightest stars in the stenographic firmament," capable of reporting with ease and accuracy the most rapid speaker, which will make him " one out of a thousand," and enable him to earn a handsome competence. There are not one-third enough expert verbatim shorthand reporters, the stenographic field being overrun with an army of incompetents who, having never received proper instruc- tion, although having been employed as stenographers for five, six, or even twelve years, cannot follow with exactness even a slow speaker. A large majority of them have stopped studying, thinking they have mastered all there is to be learned, and lacking the knowledge necessary to make them verbatim reporters, the THE ART OF PHRASING. Vll remuneration they receive ranges anywhere from five to fifteen dollars per week, while experts receive ten to fifty dollars per day. There is no royal road to success in stenography save the highway of work, and to those desirous of being more than mediocre shorthand writers, the advice contained in the pre- ceding paragraphs should be heeded, to be followed by prac- tice, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. EXPLANATION OF POSITION. IN the following- pages of " Lightning Phrases " it Avill be seen that a central line, by which position is generally deter- mined, is not used except in a few instances, the characters being written on, above, or below an imaginary second-posi- tion line. The student will readily perceive whether the phonographic character is intended to be written in the first, second, or third position ; but should a doubt arise as to the proper position of a phrase, the rule to be followed is, that the first word in a phrase is written in the position which it properly occupies when standing alone, and the following outlines of the phrase accommodate themselves to the position of the first.

BY REV. A. T. PIERSON. Reported by the N. Y. S. R Corps. MY BELOVED FRIENDS : I have come to speak to you this afternoon about the neglected person of the Blessed Trinity the one great person about whom less is practically knowu and really understood than either of the other per- sons of the God-head. One of the ministers of the Gospel in the city of Brooklyn, who at the time stood among the foremost of American pulpit orators, gave this definition : "The Holy Spirit is a thin and shadowy effluence proceeding from the Father and the Son," i.e., as the breath exhales from a man's body ; that was his conception of the Holy Spirit. That is the conception of the Holy Spirit in the minds of a large proportion of church members ; an influence or power, a manifestation of spiritual force, having no more claim to personality or Deity than the light has, and no more proper claim to personality or Deity than the principle of life ; an emanation from God, but not a personal emanation. If that be a proper definition of the Holy Spirit, it would be appropriate to in- troduce such phraseology in the Apostolic benediction and the formula of bap- tism. In the New Testament the Holy Spirit is spoken of in precisely the same terms of personality and Deity which are used with reference to the Father and the Son. The Acts of the Apostles deserves to be called the Acts of the Holy Ghost, for they represent in practical operation all the functions attributed to the Spirit of God. The 14th and 15th and 16th chapters of John constitute the great revelation of the Holy Spirit ; and in the Acts, Peter, the head of the Apostolic College and primitive Christian Church, when Ananias appeared before him with a lie upon his lips, said : " Why hath Satan filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Ghost ? " And to Sapphira, his wife : " How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord ? Thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God." You cannot lie to a thin and shadowy effluence, or agree to tempt a shadowy effluence. The Holy Spirit was conceived by Peter as a divine person, presiding over that assembly. I suppose I speak to an intelligent congregation, who believe the Scriptures of the New Testament to be the Word of God, and therefore accept those views of personality and Deity which in those Scriptures are unquestionably attributed and associated with the person and Spirit of God. Now, what is the nature of the person and work of the Spirit ? We can 7 V Y S 3- u \ J o s. 't t / i \>"\ " THE HOLY SPIRIT." 67 put it in a few sentences. We find our Lord's teachings are as follows : The Holy Spirit is to be to every believing child of God just what Christ would have been if He had tarried in the flesh and was no longer subject to those limitations to which He submitted, while in a human form, upon the earth. When Christ was upon the earth He could be in but one place at one time, because He partook of the necessary restrictions and limitations of our hu- manity. When He was in Jerusalem He was not in Capernaum, and therefore His immediate personal association with the disciples was necessarily restricted and confined. He said, " Nevertheless, I tell you the truth ; it is expedient for you that I go away ; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you ; but if 1 depart, I will send Him unto you." The Holy Spirit was the resurrection gift of Jesus Christ, and the coming of the Spirit of God was the evidence and proof that Jesus Christ had ap- peared in the presence of God for us as an accepted sacrifice. The word Comforter is a very imperfect translation of the Greek word " Paraclete," which implies that He takes the place of Christ. The original Greek word is untranslatable, and I regret it was not retained in our English version. The word is from two Greek words and resembles the Latin word " advocate," both meaning one called to another's aid. If, for instance, you have a case in court and cannot yourself attend, you summon to your aid an " advocate," who prosecutes your case before the judge and jury. Now, Christ was about to leave this world ; He called to His aid and to our aid the Holy Spirit, and therefore He is called the " Paraclete," which includes both the idea of His being the substitute of Christ, and of His ministry to saints in the name of Christ and in the stead of Christ. Whatever Christ could have done if He had remained on earth as the per- sonal companion of every particular disciple, the Holy Spirit is to be and will be so far as faith makes such a thing a possibility. For instance, He is to take of the things of Christ and show them unto us. He is to testify of Christ ; He is to glorify Christ ; He is not to speak from himself, but whatever He hears that He is to speak, and He is to show us things to come. He is to bear witness of Christ and to Christ, and bear witness to us and to our work for Christ. Whatever the Spirit of God is to the disciple, the disciple is, by the Spirit, to the world. We are not to speak from our own suggestion or origination, but we are to hear the teaching of the Spirit and give it to the world, and by Christian experience translate it into the language of common life. I am to glorify Christ by His power, and show men things to come so far as they are revealed to me. Until the year 1876 I scarcely knew whether there was a Holy Ghost or not ; but during that year it pleased God by a remarkable experience to bring me in contact with the Spirit of God, to give me an experience of His power and " THE HOLY SPIRIT." 69 work, which transformed my life more than anything that previously occurred in my history, and I feel bound to become a witness to all men of what I have seen and heard. What is the Spirit's relation to the world ? His work, as outlined with respect to the world, is entirely different from that which He does in and for disciples. When He comes He convinces the world of the sin of unbelief. No man sees the sin of not believing in Jesus until the Spirit opens his eyes. The Spirit works on the world from without, and on the disciple from within. The atmosphere is outside of you, but when you breathe it, it is inside of you. Christ said, " Receive ye the Holy Ghost." The Holy Ghost came as a wind, but in the disciples He became breath. You cannot breathe without air ; and breath becomes a secret of life and utterance. " Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, and the Spirit of God dwelleth in you '! " In one passage in the Epistles to the Corinthians that statement is made of the church at large; but in another case the statement is made of the individual disciple. The Spirit of God takes His actual personal residence in a believing soul. The Spirit resides and presides in your body if you are a child of God. Nothing makes a man or w r oman so hallowed as this conception of the Divine Presence. This body is the innermost temple. There was an outer and an inner temple ; but the word used to describe the temple of the Holy Ghost is the word that implies the Holiest of all. I never found anything that restrained me from sin so effectually as this Divine Conception that my ' body is the Temple of the Holy Ghost." How can I let this tongue indulge any unclean word if the Holy Spirit is ready to use that tongue for witnessing unto God. "Having therefore these promises," says the Apostle Paul, when speaking of this mystery, " let us cleanse our- selves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit." The Holy Spirit, dwelling in this mortal body, strengthens it for service ; if you seek to be well for the sake of being well, that is one thing ; if you want to be strong for your appointed work for God, that is a different thing. Why may not you ask the indwelling Spirit to quicken your physical powers so that you may serve acceptably ? The Holy Spirit not only quickens our body, but He quickens our mind. What does Christ himself say ? "He shall bring to your remembrance what I have said." What is memory ? Suppose you have to make an address, and are doubtful of your power to keep the train of thought in mind, why not ask the Spirit of God to bring to your remembrance whatever may pertain to your address which is essential to the glory of God ? I never preach a ser- mon without asking God before I preach that whatever train of thought does not conduce to the Glory of God, I may forget, and that whatever does may be brought to my remembrance ; and I have never known Him to fail to an- swer that prayer. V r \ \- x /X U- 1 <^1/K / M " THE HOLY SPIKIT." 71 I remember that my thoughts were first turned in this direction by visits to the bedside of the sick. One old lady besought the Spirit of God to bring to her remembrance the precious words of Christ, and although she forgot members of her own family, her mind was filled with precious remembrances of the Holy Scriptures to the hour of expiring. She never forgot the Word of God, and the Spirit did bring to her the great promises, fitting them with a strange mystery of adaption to every feature in her spiritual life. The natural man cannot receive the things of the Spirit of God. I suppose that means that the intellect of the uuregenerate man is unable to receive the things of the Spirit; they are foolishness to him, because they are spiritually discerned. The natural man, although he represents one of the princes of this world, cannot, by any intellectual power or resources, discern things of God. But if you become a child of God you are enabled to apprehend and appre- ciate Divine things. What a blessed thing to have the Holy Spirit indwelling in us, to lead us into the mysterious chambers of the Truth of God as the Divine Interpreter. Thus the Spirit of God enables the intellect to use the powers for the recep- tion of the truth of God and the apprehension of the Divine mystery. If the Spirit dwells in our mortal body, we shall expect to feel His quickening in our intellectual life, in our mind and heart. It is a very common thing to say we wish we could love God better ; the only way to love God more is to be brought to know the Spirit of God and see more clearly the lovable aspect of God. Paul says, " Beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, we are changed into the same image." What is the idea ? You cannot contemplate that which is noble without becoming ennobled ; you cannot contemplate vir- tue without becoming virtuous ; you cannot contemplate truth without becom- ing truthful. That is the power which transforms character. One cannot contemplate the character of God devoutly without becoming Godlike. s "7 vs \ , ( ^ ' W. ^ v T > ", P A WOEKING CEEED FOE A COLLEGE MAN. Extract from a Speech by Robert E. Speer, Secretary of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, and Reported by the N. Y. S. R. Corps. ONE of the most prevalent questions in current religious discussion is the question as to whether Christianity is primarily a dogma or a life. There are some on one side who think Christianity is primarily a dogma ; that it consists of the doctrines introduced by Jesus Christ, formulated and classified a little more formally by the Apostle Paul, crystallized and preserved for us in the creeds of the Churches. There are those on the other side who say that Chris- tianity is primarily a life. They allege that it does not make much difference what you believe, provided that you only live right ; that the doctrine is a small matter in comparison with the life. In defence of this view they say that they know a great many people who are orthodox in their belief, who are very bad ; and the other people say, in reply, that they know a great many worse people, who are not orthodox. It strikes the average man that both sides would save themselves and us a great deal of trouble if they could but come together. For Christianity is both a dogma and a life a form of sound words, and a transfigured and a transfiguring life. He who brought it to us said, " I am the way, the truth, and the life." Yet I should not want to be understood as implying that there is not a dis- tinction to be drawn between. Christian thinking and Christian living. There is a distinction. Not every man is called upon to settle all the problems in the universe. A great many questions everybody is not competent to settle. They must be settled by men who are competent, and who feel called to settle them. I do not feel called upon to worry myself over problems which some people are called to study and solve. Toward these problems I am quite con- tent to take the attitude of "Brer Rabbit," and " lay low and say nothing." But every man is called upon to settle the question of questions, of his daily living, and to form his belief about it. Regarding most speculative questions, I am quite ready to take the results that others have reached, accepting those results which commend themselves to me, and rejecting those which do not. But I must believe something, by whatever method I arrive at it, and whatever it is. No one should go so far as to take the attitude that it makes very little difference what he believes ; he can get along without a creed. That talk is in the air and it is nonsense. Last fall I was riding in a railroad train out in Nebraska, and was accosted by a woman who sat opposite me in the car ; she had been at a meeting in Lincoln where I had spoken at a convention. She was anxious to talk, and in our conversation she said: "I don't believe in a creed." I said in reply, " That is about the shortest creed I ever heard of." " What do you mean ? " she said. I said, " The question is not whether or not you have a creed ; the -_ , _r V, \ x ^ Xx y^ IV. \ ' V- ; \ r A WORKING CREED FOR A COLLEGE MAN. 75 question is, what are you going to put into it V" If a man had spoken to me as the woman did, I should speak to him plainly if I knew him very well ; if I didn't, I should say that I hoped he was a larger man than his creed would suggest. Every man must have his creed, whether of affirmation or denial. I be- lieve in something ; you may believe in nothing. We both believe. Every one of us here this evening, college men or not, must have his creed. If he is a sensible man he will accept the judgment of the best people he knows on points he cannot settle for himself. On other points he must make his own creed. A creed is a fence ; it is meant to keep others out of our enclosure, and to keep those who are in from jumping out. There is a very fine illustration in the attitude that the Church of Christ in Japan took recently, at the time of the adoption of its present confession. It was proposed that the young Church should adopt one of the historic creeds of the Western Church. The Church of Christ replied in substance : "We are not fighting other de- nominations Baptists, Methodists, or Lutherans we are fighting Shinloo- ism, Heathenism, Buddhism, and the devil. We do not want a creed that will shut us out from other Christians, from Baptists, from Episcopalians, or Congregationalists, etc.; all we want is a creed that will build a fence between us and those with whom we must disagree." The Church took up the simple creed called the Apostles' Creed, and prefaced it with two articles : one on the personality and divinity of the Holy Ghost, and the other on the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures, and they stand on that creed. Some would have been glad if they had put in more, some less. When I make my creed I simply look upon the world and see whom I do not agree with. I see a man leading an idle, unserviceable life, who seems to care only for what he can get out of it. I can say at once that I don't believe in that kind of a life. Here is a man who does not possess power, lacks grit, his hold is flabby, he has not vitality in his blood nor any iron there, and I say right away, I thank God I do not believe in that kind of a life. Here is another man who moves along by himself; he is quite content to wrap the cloak of his self-satisfied own self-sufficiency about him, and look on the sweep of outside life ; he does not touch elbows with other men. He has none of those priceless links, without which any life is poor, binding his soul to the souls of his friends. I do not believe in that kind of a life. Here is a fourth man, who hops into this or that as it turns up ; takes up with every change ; does something to-day, something different to-morrow, never getting anything truly done ; his life is not in tune with the definite purpose of God toward which the whole creation moves. 1 do not believe in that sort of a life. I do not believe in any one of these four kinds of lives. They sicken one. My creed is made up to exclude them. I do not believe in a positive faith and a positive life. This is my creed. // ' ' \ s V .0 ^ / C-i \ V )/^~V /, V V /*"\ ^s^ ^^ / ^i y / \ v SPEECH OF HONORABLE J. W. GEIGGS, GOVEENOE OF NEW JEESEY. In Acceptance of the Republican Nomination. GENTLEMEN OF THE COMMITTEE : The formal Notification which you bring me, of my nomination by the Republican party of New Jersey as its candidate for Governor, arouses in me a sense of grave responsibility when I consider all that such a nomination implies. When we remember what New- Jersey once was the very name a synonym for quick and impartial justice its rulers, of whatever party, men of noble character and patriotic devotion, and then reflect upon the length and breadth and depth of political unfaithful- ness, disregard of the public interest, and downright dishonesty, which have recently been revealed, we are deeply impressed with the vital importance of the effort which is now to be made under the leadership of the Republican party to rescue wholly our State from the control of that other party, which, as a political organization, is responsible for the degradation of the State Government. We undertake this sacred trust, not in the interest of the Re- publican party for mere partisan advantage, but because the people of New Jersey, outraged, betrayed, and disgraced, have, without regard to party dis- tinctions, turned to us as their natural ally against the powerful combination which, in the interest of partisan and personal spoils, has obtained control of the machinery and organization of the Democratic party in New Jersey. We do not by any means include in our denunciation of the public record of our opponents for the last eleven years all members of the Democratic party. We are aware that the domination of the rings and the machines has not been maintained without indignant protest and vigorous opposition from within the party. But protests have not been heeded ; opposition has been put down with powerful hand. Every effort of honest, independent Democrats to secure control of the party organization has failed every time everywhere. All the machinery of the party is in the same hands that controlled it in 1889, when the Election Boards of Hudson County were mere registers of the wishes of the party leaders. The men who voted for the Coal Combine Bill are still in good and regular standing in their party ; those who planned and those who applauded the treasonable conspiracy to steal the Senate in 1894 are the ones who are still in charge of their party's organization. There is no hope *>f reform in a party dominated by such men. Until the Democratic party shall have cast them out and restored the control of its affairs and policy to better men, it is in vain for it to ask the people of the State to trust it with the con- trol of any branch of government. We therefore recognize that the people \ ,Q-/ SPEECH OF HON. J. W. GRIGGS, GOVERNOR OF NEW JERSEY. 79 Lave turned to us to the Republican party of New Jersey and have offered us the baton of power. As the chosen leader in this contest, it is fitting that I should say to you, gentlemen of the committee, that if I am elected to this high office, I shall owe my first and highest duty to the people the whole people. I have always believed that the best way to serve one's party is by con- scientious effort to serve the State. And as a Republican it shall be my highest partisan ambition to win for my party the commendation of the peo- ple on account of honest desire and sincere endeavor for the welfare of the whole State. If the nomination you have tendered shall be ratified by the people, it shall be my aim to restore the reign of universal honesty among public officials ; to put an end to jobbery and plundering ; to stop wastefulness ; to check ex- travagance in the expenditure of public funds ; to keep down appropriations ; to resist all unjust and imprudent extensions of corporate power ; to keep the penal, educational, and charitable institutions of the State free from partisan influence and control, and to see that they are conducted only upon a strict business basis ; to maintain the judiciary of the State non-partisan ; to restrain the tendency to multiply legal enactments, and to simplify and consolidate the laws that shall be passed. It is of the utmost importance that the volume of legislation shall be materially reduced, and that no act changing the law of the land shall be passed unless it be required by some general demand or public necessity. All laws deal with either the person, the property, the liberty, or the rights of the people. None of these should be altered, abridged, or even modified, except for reasons of high public policy. Let us return to the sim- plicity and directness of our fathers, for whom very little legislation and very moderate expenditure sufficed. I accept this nomination, and assume the trust it carries with it, relying upon the righteousness of our cause, and believing that the people of New Jersey, weary of recent misrule, are with us in this contest. The battle is for honesty, for retrenchment, for reform. If, after the revelations of official un- faithfulness to which the Democratic party put in no answer but a plea of non- milt contendere, they are again to be restored to power and control, then Jersey justice will have become a by-word and a reproach, and the people will deserve whatever of further misrule and plunder they may suffer. Every consideration of public policy, every dictate of common justice, every notion of political expediency, every sentiment of State pride, every sense of outraged and betrayed confidence, every regard for a good example to the youth of our State, demands that we shall succeed in this contest. \ H ^V " J^y ~^- ^r^l^/Tc^-^^c^/- '^< vV L /- >-\^v/ l v>> ^^~x_ v^ f CHAKACTEU. 83 eratiou ; it will live on when our bodies and monuments have crumbled into dust. The good or evil that we do lives after us and is not " buried with our bones." The sun sets behind the Western hills, but the trail of light it leaves behind guides the pilgrim to his distant home. Martin Luther's dead dust still sleeps at Wittenburg, but the accent of his character shall resound forever throughout the land. The king's crown will in time moulder, but the charac- ter of him that wore it will act upon the ages yet to come. Rank and riches are corruptible, but character has an immortality that sword cannot destroy or time and death decay. The humblest child of the human race can grow to have as noble a character as one born of noble parentage. Many a great char- acter has been born amid rags, and has had to- be humiliated by wearing " patched clothes." All great men are honorable whether they first saw the light in a hovel or a palace. Franklin first started in life as a tallow-chandler, but kept going up, a step at a time, till he became a legislator of his country, and left his name to the world to be remembered forever. From a farm to the presidential chair seems a long distance, yet Abraham Lincoln travelled that distance, became one of the greatest presidents of the United States, and left behind him a name which will never grow dim. James A. Garfield never had the advantages of wealth, but he kept himself in Congress for seventeen years by a popularity based on character. When at last death overtook him it had no power over him, but only helped to immortalize his name, reputation, and character. We see by this that it is not the men that have inherited the most wealth that have risen the highest, but rather those that have, step by step, ascended the steep and wilful mount where " Fame's proud temple shines afar." We cannot all leave our names embalmed in a nation's tears, but we can prove a blessing to all within our sphere, and if we perform our duties prop- erly we shall not live in vain, but shall leave behind a character which shall be like the pebble which agitates the surface of some peaceful lake an influ- ence for good which shall spread in widening circles throughout the bounds of time. Who is there but will desire a name that is immortal not one that is admired for a brief time and then forgotten, but one that (even after we are gone) will survive and live on till the " golden sun shall set forever ? " To obtain a character like this, man cannot sit and idly fold his hands and wait for others to mould his character, but must proportionate his labor to the elevation he seeks "Whatsoever a man soweth that also shall he reap." Like ships going against the current we must either go backward or forward, and as our bodies develop so will our character for good or evil. The bad deeds of our lives succeed one another as do the flakes of snow that fall to the ground. Our character is formed as the snow gathers together ; no single flake added to the pile will produce a change, yet flake by flake it becomes de- structible and buries whole villages with its irresistible power. So will our actions, passions, and habits, that have accumulated, overthrow the edifice of V "\ > ^ ^ ( , Ol / TESTIMONY. Reported by the N. Y. S. R. Corps.

DEAR SIR : I am in receipt of your favor of the 14tli inst., and carefully note what you say in reference to the prices paid you by the Chicago Roll- ing Mills Co. for iron ore. The prices quoted for Menominee ores, $14.98 to $16.65, are too high, and it would be as well for you to understand now that I will not be able to pay you such enormous prices. I know there is no use of our expecting to make any money on iron when the raw material costs so much . I cannot expect to compete with other com- panies who, owning their own ships, import their ore direct from the Mediter- ranean. Of course, you are in the business simply as an agent acting for the various ore companies, and it can make no difference to you what the prices are. I shall be obliged to close my mills if I cannot secure better rates, and for the sake of the 700 employees I do not care to be forced to do this, especially as it is now the middle of winter. I have a large order from the Pennsylvania Railroad Co., but it is almost impossible for me to fill the same. I shall be in New York the latter part of next week, and shall call and see you. Do not mention this matter to anyone, as my credit would undoubtedly not be worth much if you did. Yours truly, A. PARKER BROWN, ESQ., General Manager, San Francisco, Cal.
