AN INVITING DEPOT GARDEN.
The Grand Central Has New Attrnc-
lions Which Are Admired by All.

The Grand Central Has New Attrnc-
lions which Are Admired ny All.
There is no man among railroad men
who is more widely known and at the same
time more universally esteemed than Cap
tain Henry Curry, depot master of tho
Grand Central depot. He takes great de-
light In seeing that every one receives the
best of attention and is treated with all
the courtesy that could be asked.
But besides possessing that quality
Uncle Henry" as he is '.cll known. has
his eye to other matters besides those ap-
pertaining to the travelling public. He
takes n great delight in seeing everything
inviting around the depot. and any one
who has visited the Grand Central depot
has had their attention called TO tho beau
tlful grounds adjacent to the building.
Uncle Henry looks after tho gardens Just
the same as a trained gardener would look
after his plants. Many improvements have
been made of late around the depot, and
the most attractive is the bed of maiden
hair ferns and other plants which now
occupy new made beds on the south side
Of the depot building. Captain Curry is
always in the best OF humor. but let any
one trouble his pet beds and the intruder
will soon learn in nice and eentlemanlv
manner that those AFRO his especial pct
places and must be let alone. He is adding
something new every dav to his cullec-
tions and II can he truthfully said that
no depot flower garden in the State sur
passes the ono which Is known as Uncle
Henry Currys"

Opinion of y. plcrront Morgan.

Mr.. ]. Pierpont Morgan, who sailed for
Europe last week, is quoted as saying in
regard to the supreme courts decision
against troffic associations:
Had this decision been given three years
ago. It's adverse effect would have been
widespread. During the past twenty
months one-third of the railroad mileage
of tho United States has been reorSani2ed,
al the basis of organization will form
the protection against the wholesale rata
cutting that otherwise wOuld have taken
place under the supreme court decision
The power to make rates has been taken
away from freight agents and lodged with
the board of directors and tho railroad
presidents. No association Is necessary
since the administrators are men of In
togtity who have the best interests of
tho security holders at heart. The re-
organization threw additional safeguards
around the various properties, In that in
almost every instance voting trust good
for five years. wns formed, and will be
kept intact. This precludes The absorption
Of the stock for voting or controlling pur-
poses, and renders, as far as the manage
ment Is concerned, null and void all ef
forts to administer the property otherwise
than approved of by the board of man
ayers. In the circumstances, security
holders need not become alarmed nor are
they JUSTIFIED in concluding that the of
fccts of the supreme court decision will
mean the ruinntion Of the railroads of the
country"
