Life's Farm at Branchville. Conn.,. on the N. Y., N. H. & H. Railroad. about 50 miles from New York. is large country place. deeded to Life by the late Edwin Gilbert some 15 years ago. The connections three story French roof house has been converted into suitable dormitories, dlning-rooms. etc., for the prosecution of the work, and various outbuildings have been ad- ded. The grounds comprise about 14 acres, with a large brook running through them. affording endless amusement to the youthful visitors. A sufficient force of caretakers, under the supervision of Mir and Mrs Mohr
 insures the best of care for the child ren. During the 20 years they have been engaged in this work they have never lost a child or had any serious accident or illness at the Farm. The work began in 1887 by sending a few children to the country the latter part of the summer. Now over POO child ren are entertained at time, and in the 20 years over 26, 900 children have had fortnight's outing in the country.
 Expenses have been reduced to mini mum. Three dollars will cover an entire fortnight for child at the Farm.
 A glance at a returning party and at one going to the Farm shows the good accomplished. Fresh air combined with good food and plenty of 1t, is a
 wonderful transformer. The children
 are taken from the city missions and the tenement house district, some from the missions in Brooklyn and many from the poor of the East Side; in fact, no needy child is refused, unless for lack of room. Our season Is from about June 2Oth until school opens 1T September, and visitors are invited for any day during that term. The kindness of their many friends, who have made this work possible, is heart | fly appreciated. Additional contribut- ions are earnestly solicited, as the charity cannot be continued without | money. Remittances may be mad.

Surprises never come singly-" No sooner did The Blue Ribbon Auto X Carriage Co.,, of Bridgeport finish their special sale of carriages. wagons and harnesses, than they make startling assertion that they will hereafter sell at wholesale prices. This new propo- sition will mean the saving of substan- tial sums for those who patronize this wide-awake company. Their entire stock being new and desirable. it will also mean that those who buy here will get the best for the least money. It certainly will be interesting to see how such bold plan will work.

companies more than a reasonable
profit
| After showing that agricultural i'm
plements are shipped from the east to
Pacific coast points and reshipped to
Montana points for As cents the hund
red pounds less than if shipped to Spo-
| kane and reshipped to Montana points
from Spokane, the complaint sets out
that New York takes the same rate to
Pacific coast points, but this rule
does not always apply on shipments
from New York to Spokane.
Railroads Formed Combine.
After reciting that the collection of
defendants from the people of Spokane
of large and disproportionate sums of
money thus constituting an unlawful
and unjust imposition of the transport
tation tax, the complaint states that the
railway companies have not acted
honestly, reasonably or lawfully but in
stead combined and confederated to-
gether to create monopoly. oppres-
sive to the petitioners and by express
agreement and implied understanding
the railroads have maintained and do
yet maintain, scale of charges CAL
culated to return an unreasonable high
profit upon the capital actually paid il.
and invested.
The complaint shows that in the
last seven years the defendant COM
panies have practically rebuilt their
lines from earnings, besides paying en-
ormous dividends to their stockholders
and that the surplus is many times
more than the difference between the
rates actually charged on interstate
what would be charged if Spokane had
the same rates as the cities on the
coast and Sound.
Want Just System.
Showing the remarkable advance in
the value of the companies stocks the
complaint asks the commission to insti-
tute such orders as may be necessary
to insure the establishment of OBJ
servance Of just system of interstate
rates, and that the jobbers and ship
pers may recover from the various
companies all excuses in payments as
the defendants shall be found to have
unjustly and unreasonably extorted
from therl
The chief issue raised in the SpO-
kane complaint will in all Likelihood re-
ceive attention from courts of record
and legislative bodies in that the COM
mission is petitioned for ruling that,
of the money raised by common car
rier from the people in the imposition
of freight rates, which money is used
in improvements and equipment to in
crease the earning capacity of the
roads, the people are entitled to their
share in the form of diminution of
rates.
