EAsT-BOUND FREIGHT MOVEMENT
The increase in east-bound freight ship
ments during the week ending Jan. 81, in.
duced the railroad managers to believe thai
another boom had set in, and that hence
forth they would have their hands full OF
business. But these hopes have again
been shattered by the result Of the business
during the past week. The statement for
the week ending Feb. shows that the roads
leading east have carried 81 ,817 tons Of flour,
grain, and provisions, the principal articles
shipped, against 40,416 tons the week preyi-
ous,-a decrease Of 5,590 tons. The bulk Of the
grain business was again done by the Michi-
gan Central Grand Trunk route, which
carried 1887 tons out of q total OF
l9152. The business of the pool lines
will probably experience still greater fall.

be new competitor in the namely: the
Northwestern Grand Trunk, which was
opened for business last evening, when the
first train left the freight depot, corner Of
Canal and Sixteenth streets, with cargo of
grain for Liverpool via Portland. This line,
although owned and controlled by the Grand
Trunk Railway Company, will act independ-
entity of the old line. The latter will con-
tinue to act in harmony with the Eastern
trunk lines, and send its business from this

OF funeral eccentricities reported
lately the following, without being es-
pecially shocking, is the oldest. Ludo-
wick Cortusius, an eminent lawyer, who
died at Padua on the 18th of July, 1918,
when upon his death-bed forbade his re-
lations to shed tears at his funeral, and
even put his heir under heavy penalty
if he neglected to perform his orders.
On the other hand he ordered musicians,
singers, pipers, fiddlers of all kinds to
supply the place of mourners, and d.
rected that fifty of them should walk be-
fore his corpse with the clergyman,
playing upon their several instruments.
For this service he ordered each of them
half ducat. He likewise appointed
twelve maids in green habits to carry his
corpse to the church of St. Sophia,
where he was buried, and that they too,
as they went along, should sing aloud
having each of them, as recompense,
handsome sum of money allotted for a
marriage portion. All the clergy in
Padua marched before in long process
sion, together with all the monks of the
convent, except those wearing black
habits, whom he expressly excluded by
his will, lest their black hoods should
throw a gloom upon the cheerfulness of
the procession.

The continued existence and steady growth
Of any institution Of learning proves two
things: First, executive ability OF the high
est order, which makes itself felt not only in
the upper stratum Of collegiate affairs, but
throughout the structure down to the feeblest
bylaw; and second, that spirit Of Hberality
and far-sightedness which tends to keep
abreast Of to-day.
The muni6cence Of the founder Of Vassar
College would have been vain without these
conditions, and that she 10 what she Is, proves
the worth of those shoulders upon which fell
the responsibilities born Of this generous
philanthropy. The college situated at
foughkeepsie, N. T., bears the same relation
TO the higher education Of young women. a.
Do Yale and Harvard to that of men. A
glance through the catalogue discovers q
course Of study made possible for young
ladies only by the founding of this institu-
ton. Standing amid her two hundred acres,
with miles Of walks, her lake and other
facilities for out of-door exercise. her newly
erected laboratories and cabinets, her
library and reading-room, museum of natur-
n history, astronomical observatory and her
gallery OF art, che is Q monument alike of
the splendid liberality Of her founder and the
equally splendid achievement on the part Of
the Vassars Of to-day.

The troops which compose what
may be called the regular army Of China
consist, it is estimated, of only LAC, 600
men. These receive monthly pay at the
rate Of from . to $8, and daily ratisn
of rice. They are lodged in barracks,
and supplied with arms by the Govern
ment; but they have to provide their
own clothing. The remainder of the
men, who swell the nominal effective of
the Chinese army to 100000 infantry
and 227, 900 cavalry, can hardly be re-
garded as regular troops, since they
have to maintain themselves by cultiva-
ting ground allotted them by the Gov
eminent. Most of these men are mar
ried, and their sons at their birth are en-
rolled as future recruits for the army.
The organization and conditions of serv-
ice of the cavalry are similar to those of
the Russian regular horse, to whom they
are admitted, even by Russian writer's,
to be in no way inferior. On the other
hand, the artillery of the army is miser-
ably inefficient. The number of gums
is large, but they are of Indifferent man.
ufacture, have neither range nor accura-
cy, and are badly served. The number
of Notifications in China is extraordi-
narily great. No fewer than 1,7O9
towns are fortified with walls and ditch
es, while thousands of fortified posts are
scattered over the country. Most of the
latter, however, consist only of brick
walls with ditohes, and would not be
capable of withstanding the fire of even
light field pieces. The only fortifca-
tons in China which can compare with
modern European works are those con-
structed for the defence of Peiho or for
the protection of other estuaries, and
which are armed with ordinance pur-
chased in Europe.

The Ticket.

With few, if any exceptions, the Repub-
lican nominees for Aldermen and Council
men are good, substantial business men.
OF quite number we can speak from per-
sonal knowledge.
The nomination of Mr.. ID. w. Grubbs
for Alderman in the District, was de-
served compliment to the faithful and
efficient manner in which he has protected
the city's interest for the past two years.
A better nomination could not have been
made.
The promotion of Mr.. Geo. p. Wood,
from Councilman to Alderman, by the
I'd District, is in the right line. Mr.. Wood
has made an excellent Councilman, and
we predict that he will be no less efficient
as an Alderman.
Mr.. Tucker, from District, goes from
Councilman to the thigh joints" The
Council has had no more efficient worker
than Mr.. Tucker. He will bring to the
Board valuable experience and ability of a
high order.
The whole ticket is good, and every mar
shall be elected. Next week we shall

dates for the lower branch Of our munich
