RAILROAo LEGISLATION.

Massachusetts Doesn't Want the VAN
derbflt syndicate TO Acquire Control
of tho Entire New England System
The Commonwealth Urged to Sell
Its $5,O0O,0O0 Holding Of Fitch
burg Stock.
Boston, March 27.-James D. Lsary OF
New York, contractor, was before the leg
islstive committee on harbors and public
lands to-day in behalf of the Old Colony
and Interior Canal company. He said q
canal could be built from Barnstable Bay
to Buzzard's Bay, 200 feet wide at the top,
80 feet wide at the bottom, and with q
depth of % feet, for from $4,000, 900 to
81, 100000.
F. ]. Stimson of Boston was before the
railroad committee on the petition of j.
W. Bullock and others for legislation pro-
viding that some responsible authorities
shall be charged with the management or
control or sale of stock owned by the state
in the Fitohburg railroad. Mr.. Stimson
argued to show that the Fitchburg was
now controlled by the Vanderbilt inter
ests, and that there was danger of its being
absorbed by roads inimical to the interests
of Boston and Massachusetts,. He would
therefore have the control of the states
$4,000. 900 in common stock of the road
placed in the hands of the governor, lieu
tenant governor and chairman of the rail
road commissioners Mr.. Mellen of the
committee thought that this was a scheme
to aid in the absorption of the Fitchburg
rather than to prevent 1t. He suggested
that the bill submitted be amended by
providing that any sale of the states stock
must be with the consent of the legisla-
ture.
Curtis Child, jr., as citizen of Boston,
endorsed the position of Mr.. Simpson and
thought Mr.. Mellen's proposed amendment
of the bill good one. v Guild pro-
tested against the Wander Dilt syndicate,
which had SO long had its hand on the
throat of Boston commerce and which was
endeavoring to control the entire railroad
system of the New England states.
The Fitchburg will make no opposition,
it was stated, at the hearing.
The street railway committees reported q
bill authorizing the Worcester, Leicester
and Spencer Street Railway company to
acquire other railways in the city of Worces-
ter, to increase its capital stock and issue
mortgage bonds.
Also bill to authorize the Hoosio VAL
ley Street Railway company to issue bonds
for refunding Its bonded debt.
Ought not to pass was reported by the
committee on manufactures on the bill to
regulate the price charged for gas and to
regulate the candle power of same. This
is Mr.. Hoar's dollar gas bill.

MINERS RETURN TO WORK

Strike Continued Seven Months at a
Cost of Two Million Dollars TO Wage
Farmers.
PrTTsBURG, Pa, March a6.-The great
strike of the Monongahela valley coal min
ers has practically ended, and before the
end of the week 1t is probable all the 20
old men will be back at work. Fully three
Thousand strikers returned to the mines
to- day In the second and fourth pools, aud
the third pool men have also weakened.
The strikers were SO anxious to get their
old places that they did not wait for the
convention called for tomorrow at Monon-
gahela City, at which Ii is expected that
the strike will BIS officially declared off.
The strike was broken by the men at Lucy
Vile and Roscoe returning to work on Sat-
urdsy. The strike lasted seven months
and, IT is estimated, cost the operators and
miners "a. 900, 900. OF this amount the
strikers lost 50, 100, 900 in wages There is
great rejoicing throughout the valley over
the ending of the strike.

Tn SO the Eair ChennIr.

A leading Chicago newspaper has taken
the pains to figure out the cost of a 10 days
visit to the exposition as a little less than
$40, including admission to the grounds,
entrance into all the side shows and con-
cessions, rides on all the sliding railways,
etc. This allows for fares from the heart
of the city and back and 80 cents a day for
luncheon, which last item may certainly be
reduced one-half The so cents admission
to the grounds grants entrance to all the
main buildings "a of them and their an
nexes) with their exhibits, any one Of which
would repay hours or even days study; to
all the foreign buildings, except those on
the Midway plaisance, and to the different
state buildings
There is ample provision made within the
grounds in the way of stations for rest and
refreshment. The bureau of public COM
fort Of the Worlds Columbian exposition
has established waiting rooms in every part
Of the Pounds, with parlors for ladies and
children, after the manner Of first class
railway station, with bureaus of informn-
tiOn free of charge, and there is a well
equipped and thoroughly organized emer-
gency hospital on the grounds. The bureau
Of public comfort provides telegraphio
service, telephones and messenger boys ut
the usual rates and sells stationery and 9TH
er small necessaries, checks parcels and
provides guides at moderate charges.
The Woman's building makes especial
provision for the comfort of women at the
exposition, and the Childrens building
across the way is designed for the entertain
ment Of children and the instruction of their
mothers. There will be plenty Of lunch
counters and dining rooms, where you may
buy whatever you like, from a cup Of coffee
or a glass Of milk toa square meal, and pay
accordingly.-Mrs. Moses p. Handy in La

Latin In Catholic and Protestant Colleges.
We believe that the students from Co
lumbia and other non-Catholic colleges
would be at great disadvantage in Latin
debate with competitors from any Of our
Catholic higher institutions of learning
The reason is that the methods of acquiring
a knowledge of the Latin language in
Catholic and non-Catholie colleges are rad
ically different. The system in vogue in
the former is to indOctrinate the pupil in
the peculiar idiom and genius of the Ian
guage. This is done by familiarizing his
mind with the comparative force and ell
egance of the several forms of expressing
the same idea. In our Catholic colleges the
habit of sneaking and writing Latin is fos-
tered at an early stage Of the pupils studies,
and after being made acquainted with the
styles and peeuliarities of Latin authors he
is employed rather in translating English
into Latin than in rendering those authors
into the vernacular.
The result is obvious The one class of
students know whatever they know of Lat
in at sight only. The other have mastered
it in its every twist and fiber. The first may
be able to translate the Latin authors
pretty freely into English, but were they
required, as condition to getting good
dinner, to give their orders in that tongue
we fear they should have a long fast.
Whereas the second, accustomed to Latin
as the language Of the classroom, in which
all questions are asked, answers given and
disputes carried on, can talk upon any
given topic with all the colloquial fiuency
of Erasmus. Catholic Union and Times

Or. TALMAeE DELIVERS A Seasonal
BILE SERMON ON BIRDS.

This Is Pre-eminently the Month to Com
slider the Ministry'of Nature-How the
Songs of the Various Birds show Forth
the Family Life.
BROOKLYN, June 25.-Rev DIR. Talmage
this morning chose for the subject of his
sermon The Song of Birds" This, like
many Of his sermons, suited to the season
of the year in which it is preached Il is
well fitted to be read under the trees and
has in it the health of outdoor life Text,
Psalms civ. IL, by them shall the fowls Of
the heaven have their habitation, which
sing among the branches"
There is an important and improving
subject TO which most people have given
no thought, and concerning which this is
the first pulpit iscussion-namely, 1.-THE
Song of Birds" II all that has been written
concerning music by human voice or about
music sounded on instrument by finger or
breath were put together volume by the
side of volume. it would fill a hundred al
coves Of the national libraries. But about
the song of birds there is as much silence
as though a thousand years ago the last
lark had with his wing swept the door
latch of heaven, and as though never a
whippoorwill had sung its lullaby to
slUmbering forest at nightfall. We give a
passing smile to the call of a bobolink or
the chirp of canary, but about the origin,
about the fiber, about the meaning, about
the mirth, about the pathos, about the in
spiration, about the religion in the song Of
birds, the most of us are either ignorant or
Indifferent. A caveat / this morning file
in the high court of heaven against that al
most universal irreligion.
