The association writes the railroad
commissioners that It has been organ

last year it has handed 243 cars.
As the association could not get an

Demonstration of Application Of Wireless Te-

In report from Chicago announcing

a system of wireless telegraphs on all its

the distinction Of having been the first
railroad to use the wireless system for
the exchange of signals between a mov-

ton was made on the occasion of the
47th annual meeting of the American
Association of General Passenger and
Ticket Agents, held at Portland, Me, in
October 1902. The company ran u
special tram through from Chicago to
Montreal and thence to Portland. One
of the principal attractions offered to
their guests by the Grand Trunk was Il

During one week recently there were

of the city attributed this remarkable

American Money Scattered Abroad


Experts ON foreign exchange declare
that for the last five years an average
of more than $lUO,00O.0OO has beer
spent abroad each year 10y American
tourists. Fully 10000 tourists, it is
believed. will cross the Atlantic east
ward this season, and the cost of the
vacations Of these American wander
erS will amount to at least l,O0t
apiece, or Il total of $l5O,OO0,OUO.
About one-fourth of the tourists va
cation money is paid out in ocear
fares. of which a portion finds its way
back into American Golfers in various
ways. The average tourist. it is said
by experts, spends abroad three times
the cost of his round trip ticket across
the Atlantic. This would give an aver
age expenditure abroad per tourist of
$3.50, or total for the whole army of
travellers of $112,000,000 actually dis
tributed on foreign soil. This is al
most sufficient to defray the United
States pension list for one year. Doubt
less there are reasons for regretting
that many of those who travel to Eu-
rope year after year do not invest their
money in learning to know something
Of their own country and its people
beyond the districts where they hap.
pen to have their homes. Since the
money will go abroad, it is some com.
fort to know that any American who
travels in Europe with his eyes open
for anything aside from mere amuse
ment returns, as a rule, a better
American than he went away. When
be has really seen what life at its best
Is without American Ideals and inSti
tutionS, he comes back with the feel
ing that the land of his birth is good
enough for him.

This fight for pure unaduIreratcd food
is worthy outburst of the much abused
consumer waking out of long sleep.
Nevertheless it is no small problem.
No doubt many of the elements of the
aduteration are distinctly harmful, aud
their use should be prohibited. But if
two articles bearing the same name and
appearance should he placed side 10y side
for sale, and properly designated as pure
and aduterated, with the price of the
former double that of the latter, how
many Of our people would take that OF
the less price and run the risks of dying
before the time allotted 10y some board
OF health? Many a pure article is more
deleterious than some of the productions
of the authorizations. The trouble lies
principally in the deception worked on
the people. This is the point being
sought 10y the advocates Of pure food
laws. Some of the authorizations are
such as to merit the most condign pun
ishment. All progressive citizenship
should unite i'll every effort to protect
the oft times unsnspecting from the
deception underlying many of our pre-,
pared foods of today. Here is where
both the law and the boycott are needed

respect for his life and character, and
such profound sorrow for his removal

late Secretary of State, John Hay, who

down, and their letters of coincidence in
which they honored his memory, and
eulogized his life, his brilliant career,
