The Holyoke street railway company is preparing to run trolley road to the top of Mt. Tom. and as a preliminary has bought fifty acres of land on the top of the mountain and negotiated for all that is needed for the approach. The moon- tain rises 900 feet above the present term mus of the railway, but a route has been found which will give a grade of only about six feet to the hundred for the whole distance, and it is proposed to use the ordinary trolley system. This grade is about the same as that of Asylum Hill, Hartford

THE gates of the Columbian exposition were thrown open last Sunday, and some 125, ,OOO were thereby induced to stay away from the groggeries and brothels of Chi cago. At least this is the chief reason given for the opening. It is a long step toward reforming the world. People are hereafter to be kept from going to the bad during the leisure hours of Sunday by providing them with attractions to lure them from evil. Why not have it announced from the pulpits on Sunday morning at what hours and places the p. m. horse races and ball games will come off. Sunday bull fights must hereafter be credited for the present high moral condi- ton of Spain and Mexico. The Sunday opening of the worlds fair has evidently come to stay. U. s. Attorney General Olney, while as an official protesting, is said to have, as a private individual, ex- pressed an opinion in favor of the opening.

J. Hubley Ashton, one of the counsel

The Americans now in China will be ordered to withdraw, and what trade we have with China will stop. There is nothing further to be said on the part of the Chinese government"

 Scribner's Magazine for June opens with the second article in the series on "Men's Occupations''-"Life in Log ging Camp" by Arthur Hill, president of one of the great Michigan numbering con- panies. It is safe to say that never has there been put in a single article more of the reality of the logger's life than is in this graphic sketch by MT. Hill. It is supplemented with abundant illustrations by Dan Beard. Ernest E. Thompson's contribution, "The Birds that We See," is noteworthy. The text is fully illus frustrated from drawings, which are very admirable representations of our common birds. In a similar line Of natural history is brief paper by Sidney Dickinson, en- titled stThe Haunt of the Platypus," which describes one of the strangest anil mals that is found in Australia, with two illustrations after sketches made from life. Among the eiaborately illustrated articles is Robert Blum's third and con- cluding paper giving his impressions of Japan The fiction in this issue is abund- ant and unusually attractive. In includes the first instalment of Robert Grants Opinions of Philosopher. a sequel to his clever satire, 1.-The Reflections of a Married Man," which has proved such a success as serial and in book form. This instalment is illustrated by W. T. Smed- ley. There are also short stories by T. R. Sullivan and William Henry Bishop, the concluding chapters of Mrs. Burnett's serial, The One I Knew Best of All,"l and poems by H. O.. Runner, Edith M. Thomas. E. s. Martin, and others.

AS a result of the women's congress, held in Chicago last week, 100 prominent Roman Catholic women from all parts of the country met Saturday to form na- tional federation of the Roman Catholic women of America. Mrs. Alice T. Toom- ey, of San Francisco, originated the idea of the federation, which is to promote charitable work among the poor and sick, kindergarten and temperance work, and is to be to the Roman Catholic women what the Woman's Christian Temperance Union is to their Protestant sisters. Af- ter discussing the plans of the organiza- tion, Mrs. Toomey was elected president, and Miss Eliza Starr honorary president. Another meeting will be held Saturday, at which constitution will be adopted and the organization perfected and named.

A novelty in the way of temperance legislation was recently passed by the senate of Michigan, in the shape of bill providing that man who gets drunk and is arrested for that offense may either pay the fine or be locked up if he cannot pay it, or give satisfactory bond that he will go to some good place where men are treated for the liquor habit and be cured of the disease. If man says he wants to be cured, but is too poor to foot the bill, then the expense may be paid by the county. In such cases justices of the peace and police court justices are empowered to sentence drunkards to some institution -ChristSGn ct W0rk-
 Dr. T. Thatcher Graves, who last year was convicted at Denver, Col, of the murder of Mrs. Josephine Barnaby, of Providence, R. l., is a free man for the first time in two years. Monday morning he appeared in Judge Burns's court, where his motion for new trial has been pend- ing for some weeks. The court set the new trial for June IA, and fixed the doc tors bail at $3O,e0O. Judge Macon, the doctors attorney, signed the bond. The general opinion among lawyers and court officials is that this ends the famous case There is no expectation that the second trial will ever be called, and the final mo- tion will probably be nolle.

i've few weeks ago. Then the Independent
Ice Company bid "a cents, and it was tho lowest
bid received bv half a cent. This company has
some disappointment at the department that
outside dealers took no interest in the matter
and made no effort to secure the contract. The

pend on the action Of the other departments in
making their contracts for ice during the en-.
