Canandaigua, N. Y, June S.-The
Granger Place School for Girls, one
Of the best known institutions of
learning of that character in the
country, will be closed forever after
the closing exercises which are held
today
The school was organized by Miss
Caroline Comstock, Miss Harriet Has
brouck, Mrs. Charlotte Crocker and
Miss Jane Slocum in 1876, and has
had a prosperous existance ever since
that time. The Misses Granger. who
gained control of the school about ten
years ago, have decided to retire from
school work. They have decided to
go to Europe for the summer, and.
when they return here in September,
they expect to remodel the school
building into modern dwelling
house, in which they propose to live.
The building was erected in 1914 by
their grandfather, Gideon Granger,
who was postmaster general under
jefferson and Madison. and was later
occupied as a residence by their par
ents, until the school was established.
The excellent faculty, headed by
Samuel Cole Farley, the principal,
Miss Parmelee, and others in the diff
ferent classical departments, will be
dispersed. Mr. Farley, who has been
head master for thirteen years. has
become clsely identified with the edu-

tween this city and Chicago, thus en-.
abling one to talk from Albuquerque,
via Denver, the headquarters of the
Colorado Telephone company, over
the fifteen-hundred miles of space in.
tervening between the two cities, to

This is one of the most stupendous
projects undertaken by the company
requiring years of work and the ex.
penditure of a vast amount of money.
With the incorporation recently of
the Colorado & Eastern Ielepnone &
Telegraph company, the first step was
taken towards connecting the Col
orado Telephone company's system
in this territory and Colorado with
the entire long distance and exchange
telephone system in the east and
south.
Three copper metallic circuits are
to be constructed from Kansas City
to Denver. and another line is mapped
out already, which will reach omaha,
NeD.
These two lines which are contem-
plated under the incorporation of this
company, when completed, will en-
able the merchants of all of the
cities connected with the Colorado
system, to have direct commercial
telephone talking with Chicago, st.
Louis, Kansas City, Omana and all
intermediate towns.

London, June S.-Sir Howard Vim
cent, conservative member of parlia-

colonial products, has given notice Of
his intention to interpolate the presi-
dent of the board of trade in the house

packing disclosures in the United
States.
His question is evidently drawn up
with a view to extracting information
which may be utilized by the Fiscal
Reformers in pushing their pro-
paganda.
Sir Howard wants to know what was
the total amount of importation OF
American canned meats, game, fish,
fruits and other preserved foods, into
the United Kingdom and the British
empire generally for the years of 1900
and 1905 respectively, and what steps
the board of trade proposes to take in
order to protect British consumers
from the evil effect of such foods in
view of recent disclosures.

Quoted a series of important expert
ments at the Hull Physiological lab
oratory, connected with the Univer-

these experiments have demonstrated
the possibility of substituting veins
for arteries and changing the whole
circulation of the human body.
Diseases that have hitherto been
incurable and others that have in gen.
eral been fatal in a large majority of
cases, it is believed. may be cured by
the reversal of the circulation of the
blood. The experiments have, so far,
been conducted on dogs, but they
have now reached a stage where it
is thought that the same tests may
safely be tried on human beings. The
discoverers of this new method are
confident of success and believe it
will revolutionize surgery.
