Grand Trunk at Buffalo.

An official of the Grand Trunk Railw ay,
who has been at Buffalo for the last few
days, has returned to Montreal after hav.
ing secured space for the railways exhibit
at the Pan-American exposition. The
space secured is one of the most prominent
on the grounds, covering nearly 1000 feet
of the walls and 600 square feet on the
floor of the machinery and transportation
building, which is said to be one of the
finest architectural creations on the
grounds and is completed and ready for
the installation of exhibits 1t is the in
tention of the Grand Trunk to make dis
play such as the company has not yet in
stalled in any exhibition, and this will COM
prise large selection of its choicest photo
graphic gems, including a number that
were awarded the gold medal at the Paris
international exposition of 1900. Canada
will be represented by numerous typical
scenes of the resorts which are reached by
the Grand Trunk, and it is expected that
as a result of this the influx of tourists dur
ing the season of 1901 into Canada will be
something phenomenal. The building in
which the Grand Trunk exhibit is to be
placed is situated in a central location on
what is known as 1.-THE MALL" reached by
the Amherst street gate. While at Buffalo
the Grand Trunk representative made a
careful inspection OF the entire grounds
and reports that the management of the
exposition is making favorable progress
with the buildings May l, he said, will
see the opening of one of the finest expo
sitions that have ever been held in AIneri-
ca, which, though not quite as extensive as
the Worlds fair, will exceed in quality
anything that has ever been held on the
western hemisphere.

The Bicycle Wheel in Astronomy.

At the Yale observatory an interest
ing use has been found for the bicycle
wheel By fitting such wheel with a
series of opaque screens placed at reg
ular intervals and then rotating it
with the aid of small motor at the
rate of from 30 to so turns in minute
in front of the cameras used to photo
graph meteors, DR.. Elkin has succeed
ed in measuring the velocity of the
meteors' flight. The principle depends
upon the interruptions produced by
the screen in the trails of light made
upon the Photographic plates by the
flying meteors. The velocity of the
wheel is known at every instant by
means of chronographic record, and
the length of the interruptions indi-
Gates the speed of the meteors.-

While in Europe in 1852 and 1853 Mrs.
Fremont's life was full of interest,
from her first evening out in London

cumberland, through a long list of bril-

had opposed her marriage to poor
lieutenant" John C. Fremont early ac-
CURED distinction.
The eliminating point in Fremont's
life was his candidacy for the presi-
dency in 1856. He was the first repub-
ican candidate for president, and Mrs.
Fremont was prominent factor in the
campaign. When the war came and
Fremont distinguished himself by free
ing his slaves, Mrs. Fremont was in
sympathy with his action; when he re-
fused to serve under Pope she upheld
him; when their life was beset with
poverty and suffering she shared ad-
versity with patience.
In her old age, says the New York
Tribune, Mrs. Fremont still retains her
interest in the active world, and the
many persons of distinction who visit
Los Angeles seldom fail to pay their
respects to her.

80 years.

every storm, even of leaden hail, to an
swer the call. Now they are rapidly pass

selection by teachers The differences,
as summarized from these interviews
by the Alabama papers, can be stated
in few words: The saving is in
round proportion ore third, and the
yearly aggregate saved is very consid-
cradle. In all parts of the State uni
form textbooks are used, and when
family moves from one town to another
a new set of school looks it not needed
for each child in it. Not only
does Tennessee get good text books at
low price, but the people get books more
substantially bound. For one-t third less
money they get books one-third more
durable"
But there can surely be little need to
discuss this subject further. So in
telligent and well-meaning a Legisla-
ture as that in session at Raleigh will
not fall short of it's duty in legislating
upon the school book question.

TIE MONOPOLY COMING

TIE MONOPOLY CUNNING.
New York Journal.
Mr.. Stuyvesant Fish, the president of
the Illinois Central, foresees a general
consolidation of railroads in this country.
He thinks competition harmful and union
inevitable. "It is not a great stretch of
the imagination" he says. ito see all the
railway lines of the country amalgamated
into groups, according to geographical
conditions, and each group controlled by
one financial interest,"
Doubtless Mr.. Fish is right. The day
Of competition in the transportation bust
ness is manifestly past We shall soon
have one central power controlling all
the railroads, not only of section, but
of the entire country.
This power will hold the lives of cities
and States at it's mercy. 1t can say to

''Wither away" 1t can enrich manu-

is now controlled by two monopolles,
whose service is wretched and whose
rates are extortionate. There are 1900

The Messenger is disposed to agree
with the Raleigh News and Observer in
the opinion that the Raleigh insane asy-
lum should fare equally with the west
ern hospital at Morganton. At present
the latter can accommodate 1,100 in
mates while the old Raleigh Asylum is
limited to 500. Why is the western so
favored while the central is limited and
neglected? We believe our contemporary
is within the equities when it says that
"the State ought to be liberal and gener-
Gus towards both these hospitals, but 1t
ought not to make one too large and
dwarf the other" Neither should be
crippled in its capability for blessing the
unfortunate ones. but all unjust discrim-
