. THE OLD COLONY DEAL.

The announcement made Yesterday
that the Old Colony railroad had passed
to the control of the New York, New
H ven and Hartford surprised only
IN 'se who chose to pin their faith 10 the
d -clarations of one of the interested
pr sidents rather than to the logic of
events as they transpire.
1t has been evident for n long time
| that the outcome of the various deals
must be the absorption of the Old
Colony by the New Haven. The latter
r)ad burned its bridges so that the ONLY
avenue of escape was by way of the
Old Colony. The New Haven road was
obliged to have the Old Colony, and it
is entirely probable chat it's officers knew
they could have it before they took on
the New York, Providence and Boston.
II would have been useless for the New
Haven to get half way TO Boston.
The game is not ended with the nc
quirement Of the Old Colony. Perhaps
it is only just begun. II there is truth
in the report that the Vanderbilts have
decided 10 compete for the New York
Boston through traffic, and have secured
control Of the New England for the
purpose Of completing connection that
will utilize their own lines on the west.

LIGHT ON A DARK sUBJECr.

IL has been for long time evident
that the American public has known
but little of the real work of the inter
national monetary conference that met
last fall in Brussels. For some as vet
unexplained reason there was no ade.
quate report of the doings and the dis
cussions sent TO this country.
The Providence Board of Trade and
President Andrews of Brown made il
possible for such as cared TO learn the
facts to do SO yesterday, when the latter
delivered an admirable address in the
rooms Of the former.
DIR. Andrews made the necessity Of
the conference very plain, and then
gave an ineligible summary of the
work of the conference, SO far as it was
carried before the adjournment.
From what he said il is plainly evil
dent that the conference has great
work to do, and that there is some hope
that it may be able TO accomplish at
least "a portion of il If there is another

railing against respectability OF the
stage has of late years become less. II
Is evident that the gilded setting in
her a means Of fascination not pos
sessed by her sisters in society. Another
advantageous coincident is that there
have been comparatively few actresses
brilliantly successful who have not
possessed an unusually attractive face
and figure. Then, too, an actress
career, il she wishes TO get on in her
profession, demands that she interest
herself in decoration, the refinement
and the luxury characteristic of the
most select social sets. If she be pro-
gressive and interested in her work she
surrounds herself with books and other
things that will contribute their quota
to the perfection of all her appearances,
both upon the stage and in private life.

kinds are higher to-day than they

trast TO last season, when everything
was cheaper than it had been for
many years.

IL has been since war times. Beef is
fully one third higher than last year.
Lamb and Veal are higher than
usual, and Butter is much higher than
it has been for several seasons.

find that Notwithstanding such con-
dition of the market they are even
