The work of cutting down the grades
on the Chicago division Of the Balti-
more and Ohio Rail Road will be be-
gun at once. and most of the heavy
work will have been completed by
spring.
The Chicago division work includes
reductions between Titfn, o., and At
tica, where a 2S-foot grade will be re-
duced to IS feet. for a distance of 16
miles, the heaviest cut being at Repub-
lie.
At T%eegarden, Ind, there are 175, 900
cubic yards to be removed, to reduce
the grade from % to 16 feet. Between
Garrett and Ripley, Ind, there will be
a relocation of the line for seven miles,
reducing a 26-foot grade to 16 feet,
both east and west bound
These reductions will cost about
$500. 900, but will allow an increase of
nearly 80 per cent in train loading
when they are completed.

the plotters and schemers who wanted
to force her into repugnant marriage

what is Reducing Steam Passenger
Traffic.

| The passenger trains of the Boston
| and Albany road began running into
| the new southern station at Boston
Sunday. Old Colony and New England
railway trains have also effected an en-
trance, and there remains to be trans
ferred the business of the Providence
branch of the New Haven road from
the Park Square station, which win be
brought about in September. The ter
minal has cost some fifteen million dol
lars, and the changes in streets and
tracks which have been necesstated
will add ten million dollars more to the
aggregate expense involved in this great
work
Some comparative figures have been
given of the passenger traffic which will
now be centered in the union stations on
the north and south side of the city.
1t is not far from being equally divi-
ded between the two terminals, Its
growth and apportionment since 1870 are

Former Invalid
RESTORED BY
GRAPE-NUTS
FOOD.
A RATIONAL FOOD CURE,

One of the well known grocerS In
Washington, D. G.. who supplies the
food of many of the brainy, represen-
tative men of the country, says: l
have become an enthusiastic consumer
Of Grape-Nuts. 1t has constituted
solely my morning and evening meal
for the past eight months. Previous
toathis, worn out with overwork broken
down in health dyspepsia having led
to Bright's disease, heart trouble and
what not, was given up to die. This
food came to my notice through one of
my customers. The name suggested
something in the dessert line-dried
fruit, prunes, raisins or the like, and
when / put 1t in the store, a glance at
the label persuaded me to make a trial
personally.
I had at the store for my supper, a
dish and half dish, and was impressed,
perhaps unfavorably, with It's richness
perceiving at the same time how very
appropriately the new food was named
Strange as it may appear, it's effect was
almost at once apparent. Seated that
evening at my home, 4 remarked to
the family that it was the first time in
a whole year that / had felt like my
self. I was much elated and naturally
attributed the change to Grape Nuts.
MY Improvement since then has been
continuous. my health Is better than
ever before, I look ten years younger
and am untiring in strength" (The
gentleman does not care to have his
name quoted publicly but his store can
be found at 726 Eighteenth street,
Wa shington, D. c.
Now for the reason. The man or wo-
man worn out with oyerwork or nervous
prostration will find an immediate gain
In strength by the use Of Grape-Nuts
and cream, because of the fact that the
natural phosphate of potash obtained
from certain parts of the grains is one
of the strong elements in Grape-Nuts,
and this Is presented to the system in
the form demanded by nature; not as
a drug.
The system takes up the needed parti-
cles of phosphate of patash and 1t is
now known that the soft gray matter
which fills the delicate nerve centers
throughout the body as well as the
brain and the solar plexus can only be
made and renewed from day to day by
the action of phosphate of potash on
albumen. Albumen is one of the prin-
cipal elements of all food, but unless
alpumen has with il in the system
sufficient amount of phosphate of pot
ash, it cannot be transformed into brain
matter without the action of this par
ticular element, for their is no known
way to make gray matter except by
the combination Of albumen and phos-
phate of potash.
Therefore when one uses Grape-Nuts
he makes use of the best scientific
knowledge of the day in the selection of
food for invigorating and re-vitalizing
the body. This food has become ia
nous throughout the world, and it is to
be found in every first class grocery
store. Grape-Nuts are made by the
Postum Co. at their factories in Battle |
Creek.

WORK ON THE SHELTON ROAD.
Contractor Blakeslee Says it May Cost
$115,000

$4,000.
One of the leading members of the
firm of c. w. Blakeslee & Son, of New
Haven, was in the city to-day, on
matter of business and in conversation
with 'Sentinel' reporter regarding the
Shelton trolley road, said it would be
well along toward cold weather before
his firm completed its work there He
said that there were over two hundred
men employed and the whole force
would be needed to complete the work
before cold weather. The firm had
started out to do forty thousand dol
lar job, but before it was finished it
would amount to from $105,000 to $115,-
000
Much more work is being done than
was originally intended, and when COM
pleted the road will not only be the best
in the state, he said. but the highway,
as we'll, will be one of the best in this
section. The only thing that could be
done to make it better would beto place
macadam on it. The expense of build
ing is nearly three times as great as
was Originally acknowledgements Senti-

But other causes of shrinkage in
steam railway traffic are evidently at
work for the passenger business of the
steam roads over the state as a whole
has been declining to quite as great a
relative extent as the traffic into and
out of Boston. The number Of passen-
gers carried by the steam roads Of
Massachusetts in 1893 was 1911 807, 945 ;
in 1897 it had fallen to 102, 743, 500, and in
1898 to 101, $40, 1872. Here is a loss of
nearly twenty million passengers in five
years; while the Boston business, which
forms over third of the whole, records
loss of about six million passengers
or less than third of the whole loss.
AS it must be admitted that trolley
competition Is severer in the Boston dis
trict than elsewhere, this competition
will evidently not explain fully the
shrinkase in steam passenger traffic
which has taken place. Railroad men
are inclined to believe that the long dis
tance telephone is affecting travel more
deeply than is commonly supposed, and
this is one Of the considerations which
ayers in advising the lease of the prop
erty on the terms proposed. The in
dustrial combinations being effected are
also factor in the matter of no small
force, resulting as they are in greatly
reducing the number of commercial
travellers employed and the volume of
commercial travel. 1t would seem that
in number of ways the prosperity of
the steam roads was menaced by the
economic developments of the time,
particularly in respect to passenger
busness.-Springfie Republican.

The fact which will arrest attention
is the decline in traffic on the steam
roads since 1898. Up to that time its ex-
pansion had been continuous and large.
The industrial depression extending
from 1873 to 1879 checked, but did not
stop it. But with the panic of 1893 and
ensuing depression there came not only
a stoppage 10 the growth OF passenger
traffic to and from the city, but a
marked decline. We may question
whether the recent depression was any
more or as severe as that of the '70s,
and we must consequently question
whether the present decline in traffic
has been due chiefly to this cause. The
larger cause seems to be the great de-
vclopment in electric street transporta-
ton in the suburban district of Boston.
The trolley roads now extend out from
the city in all directions, closely paral-
leling all steam railway lines and af-
fording cheaper, more frequent and
more convenient transportation within
at least a ten-mile area. The steam
roads recognize the effectiveness of
electric competition in the suburban

MISS DE BROEN's ILL HEALTH.

MISS DE BROEN'S ILL HEALTH.
The many admirers of Miss de Broen's
mission work among the poor Of Belle
vile, Paris, will hear with regret that
she has of late suffered from delicate
health, which renders the active super
vision of the various branches of her
work severe strain. 1t is with great
regret that she has been compelled to
close her temperance restaurant and
pension in the Rue st. Honore, but
Miss de Broen is a woman of indefat-
igable spirit, and she hopes to be able
to open smaller pension on temper
ance on Christian lines for visitors to
Paris during the forthcoming exhibit
ton. Miss de Broen began her work
in Paris Immediately after the reign of
the Commune, and for nearly thirty
years she has given of her time and her
substance with an ungrudging hand.
Miss de Broen lives at Rue Clavel,
Belleville, Paris in the center of her
mission.-London Chronicle.
