Passing Of the Old Grand Central.

Established under the Commodore
Vanderbilt regime, the Grand Central
station at Forty second street, New
York became a railroad institution
known first and last to the larger part
OF the travelling public of the continent.
Although eclipsed by union station
erected earlier in Chicago, it was q
palace in comparison with the average
station Of the great railway terminals
"A the seventies. And, while it has
long been behind the age, it will be
missed by the millions going and COM
ing through temporary shelters adjo1n-
ing the site on the east until its sue
.cessor Is completed.
Some people thought that the Van
derbilt creation was a cheap affair to
represent the rich interests using 1T.
Now 1t is believed that it's intended
purpose has been served. Traffic has
outgrown it and settled into perma-
nency-at least until airships render
railroads obsolete. When the old walls
are torn away and reveal the new
Grand Central station, gigantic and
imposing, beholders win agree that
grand is the only word fifty to de-
scribe it.

WESTLINE FINED $50
Guilty to Keeping Open
After Hours.

Charles westline, bartender at the
Exchange hotel, was fined $50 on a
plea of guilty before Justice Malloy,
yesterday afternoon. The offense
charged was for keeping open after
hours last Friday night Aug. 10. The
complaint was originally filed by the
city attorney against Mr.. O'Neil, the
owner of the place, but late yester-
day afternoon the complaint charging
the particular offense on the date
named against O'Neil was withdrawn
as it was alleged that he was not In
the city on that partic Llar date and
the bartender in charge was made the
defendant.
City Attorney Witherow stated in
court yesterday, There have been
over violations, some recent and some
during the past month or SO, but at
present only one specific date was
mentioned in the complaint made 50

Everywhere it is the same. It all

| Lawyersville, N. Y, Aug. 20.-The
Eharnessing of Niagara was a great en-
| cheering work, but the Harvesting Of
a little New York ditch is of equally
lfar-reaching Importance, because of its
lpractics bility for every farmer. Hardly
a farm but has some little stream flow
| ing through its borders Many of these
are now being utilized to light the
house, milk the cows, churn the but
ter, drive the milk separator, grind
stone, milling machines, and, in fact,
do host of work which was formerly
the drudge of farm life 1t has all
been made possible through the use Of
small individual electric plants on the
farm.
Jared Van WAGNER, jr., who owns
a farm near here, has been operating
such plant for eight years and is en-
lthusiastic over the results. Through
his farm flows little stream, across
which one can easily step. A little
over half mile from the house Il an
old mill dam covering about three
acres, built long ago when tiny saw
mills dotted the east
About eight years ago I began to
figure on how to get this power to the
house where it could do little work,
said Mr.. Van Wagenen. MY first
thought was to carry It there by belt
cables, but figures proved that the
friction would eat up the fiye-horse-
power available. Electric power, easily
transmitted with little loss was the
only solution talked with many who
understood electricity and its engineer
ing features and most OF them laughed
| at the idea OF such small installa
tion. Had wanted to construct q
million dollar plant there would have
been whole libraries of advice but a
small plant to run entirely alone and
be controlled by a 70O-foot wire was
| evidently novelty. After q good deal
or studying and feeling my way the
! plans were tnade and the work begun.

Grain Opinions.

Bartlett, Frazier & Co.: The wheat
market is a scalping proposition
around this level, and while we do not
look for any big upturn think there
will be quick rebounds from all selling
drives.
shearson Hammill: Carrying charges
on wheat are constantly increasing,
which is an immense handicap to the
bull position. Technically, however,
there may be room for further adj
vances, which 70 be sustained will re-
quire a decided Improvement in the
actual demand.
Finley Darrell & Co.: AS short in
terest in wheat has gradually reduced
in the past few days and long interest
materially increased, we rather favor
sales now and especially on any fur
Their advance as there is absolutely
nothing in the legitimate situation
which can be construed encouraging
to holders.
S. B. Chaplin Co.: The actual wheat
is pressing for sale in all directions,
and barring temporary rallies we do
not see anything on which to bull the
market.

that 1t would be impossible to run

have been bigger undertaking than
was at first anticipated, but what has
been done has been thorough and the
structure on completion will be al
most as good as new. The work had
so far progressed this morning that 1t
was possible to take down the tenn
porary foot bridge and that stopped
delays somewhat to foot passengers
other traffic is barred yet. The plank
foundation for the new creosote block
paving was nearly completed this aft

RroomhaIlls Report.

Liverpool. Aug. 24.-The wheat
market opened steady and a higher
and further advanced 15 being in
fluenced by the strength in America
yesterday and the firmness in the
Winnipeg market. Following this an
easier feeling developed and prices de-
clined u for the near months. Sell
ing pressure was induced by the con-
tinued poor demand for parcels and
the low English country markets.
Later in the session the market again
reacted and advanced a penny from
the low of the morning. Buying was
attributed to unsettled weather in the
United Kingdom which is delaying
harvesting and unfavorable weather
conditions in France and the fact that
the continent is buying on this. AT
this time the market was firm and II
