NEW HAVEN co.
Gets NEW RIGHTS
WITH THE b.&M.

New Haven, Conn, June 1.-THE ur-
derstanding that in the proposed merger
OF the Boston and Maine and New Haven
companies important trackage rights on
the Boston and Albany have been obtains
ed by the New Haven company was full
ly confirmed here yesterday.
These rights give the New Haven new
routes from New England points TO New
York state and the west. They are as
follows: From state line between New
York anw Massachusetts to Alany; be-
tween Boston Corners. N. Y, and Chat
ham. N. Y: between Pittsheld and North
Adams Mass; between Springfield ana
state line: between Ashland and Boston.
Steps will Immediately be taken to dou-
BILE the freight and passenger service on
the Albany road. The New Haven Sc
cures the trackage rights under an agree
ment with the New York Central and
Hudson River. paying therefor cetraih
rental.
This agreement Is n part Of the general
understanding under which the Central
secured an option on the ontario and
western and agreed TO let the New Haven
acquire the Boston and Maine.
The acquisition Of these tra-Sage rights
in Importance to the transportation In
terests OF the whole Eastern railroad
world than the acquisition by the New
Haven road of the Boston and Maine IT
self.
The trackage over the Albany between
Boston Corners and Chatham gives the
New Haven a direct connection between
central New England and the Albany
gateway. and new route for products
from the west to go down into the Con-
necticut valley and Rhode Island, and
also a new route for the manufacturing
products of these points TO reach the west.
The new trackage between Ashland ana
North Adams gives the New Haven new
connection with the Boston and Maine,
which will facilitate traffic movement
between the two systems NJ all points In
interest. and render better service with
the rest OF New England for the territory
which lies north and west OF the Hoosao
tunnel.
The new trackage between Ashland ara
Boston gives some OF the most important
points OF the New Haven system In the
middle part OF Massachusetts shorter
routes and better service to Boston.
The most important acquisition Is the
new route that Is secured by the ac-
ouired trackage over the Albany system
between apringneld and Albany. Enor-
NOUS volumes OF traffic are cent every
year TO Atlantic seaboard points via tho
Albany gateway. and n great portion OF
this in recent years has been Anable to
reach Boston on account OF inadequate
facilities. BY securing direct route be-
tween Springfield and Albany tho New
Haven has an opportunity 20 make tbs
Albany gateway a more important factor
In the commercial prosperity OF Boston
and all New England that - has ever
been.

QUIET WEDDINGS ARE
GROWING MORE POPULAR

The fashion of slipping away quietly
and getting married is becoming more
and more popular with the young peo-
pie. One cannot blame them for not
wishing to participate in the rude and
undignihed circus" into which these
performances degenerate.
Marriage is a serious thing. and
should be entered into in dignincd
manner. 1t is not an occasion for a
trough house." for tin can choruses,
and showers Of old shoes and rice and
other missiles. If the time has come
when a bride must undergo physical
torture in order to escape from her
pursuers. then it is time to call upon
the police.
It's a very pretty custom TO shower
the bride with rice. a custom handed
down from time immemorial, but
this can be done in a decorous man
ner. There is no occasion to descend
to level of some arncng the foreign
population, where weddings sometimes
end with a shooting or a stabbing af-
fray.
The time of fan weddings is at hand.
It is to be hoped that there will not
be the footing of horns, the ringing Of
bells, and the beating of tin cans, as
there We're so many times during the
spring months. If one or two lessons
are needed to teach over-exuberant
young people a lesson. they might
heed a warning that comes from a
Western town. where Che chief Of
police has warned the residents that
any one found creating a disturbance
at a wedding win be locked up and
fined.
Disorderlv conduct is nothing but
disorderlv conduct. whether it be by
a gang of hoodlums. party of drunk
en- worlSmen. or a crowd of swell
young society folk flushed with the
excitement of a wedding.
The world needs reforming along
many lines Why not try reforming
marriage customs?
