THE GRAND TRUNKS POLICY.

THE GRAND TRUNKS POLICY.
 Up in New Hampshire an effort is being made to block the crossing of that state by the line of the Grand Trunk railroad which will reach Bos- ton when completed. The Canadian road desires to cross through New Hampshire because of advantage to itself, but the existing railroads are opposed to the plan.
 In a public statement, the Grand Trunk officials say; There is noth- ing to prevent the New Haven from seeking action by the next legislature which would block the proposed Grand Trunk extension through New Hampshire. In that event the man. agement would be forced to go down the Vermont side from White River Junction to Northfeld, where they al- ready have the right of way. and thence into Boston across the friend ly state of Massachusetts.
 The state would lose a railroad and be off the line of a transcontinent- al system, and the particular locali- ties of the state through which the road would otherwise pass, as well as the state at large. would lose the benefits which would accrue from the introduction of new railroad facilities and the expenditure of the money nec- l essary for their construction"
 This would indicate that the Grand Trunk intends to give the impression that it's extension would be for the l benefit of New Hampshire This might prove so, but in instances where it has acquired roads in operation it has not worked out so. In it's opera tion in this state. the Grand Trunks policy is to neglect the people of Con- necticut, but to cater to Montreal and | other Canadian cities. New Hampsh%e might naturally reach the conclusion that 1t is Its object in that state. | When the Grand Trunk makes a flag station of the largest city on It's line | between Long Island sound and Mon treal and takes off trains upon which | the business interests and citizens of Connecticut communities depend for trade and mail facilities, New Hamp- shire has nothing to fear from the loss by denying the right.

PERKINS HAS PLENTY TO DO.

In a statement as to why he had become convert to the Roosevelt cause, George W. Perkins, one of it's chief packers, and a director of the Harvester trust declared it to be that he wanted his children to grow up un- der proper conditions, and indicating that it would not be possible under existing circumstances, and the trend of the times. He has found conditions favorable to the amassing of a large fortune, and he has been contented during that period of accumulation. but now he professes to see a need for a change, with the man who has been responsible for conditions of seven years of the past, boomed as the one to make the exchange
 Strangely enough, at this time there has been made an investigation of the twine mill of the big Harvester trust q Auburn, N. r., wherein hundreds of women and children are employed both day and night. This report shows anything but fl condition in which the directors of the trust can take pride, It shows long hours, poor working conditions and meager ree- ompense, or an opportunity for Mir. Perkins to devote some of his time and money in creating a reform in working conditions which would &C., tually benefit several hundred people. His responsibility in that direction does not depend upon the vote of the people but upon himself and his fellow directors. The money with which he has been backing the progressive movement had better gone through the channels of philanthropy. His pro- fessed stand for better conditions would then have had a better ring.

FRUIT JUICES.

Fruit juices may be put up without sugar, and will keep well if every thing is thoroughly sterilized, and the juice put in absolutely air tight bottles, New corks should be supplied, of the right size-a little larger than the mouth of the bottle, so they will have to be soaked in hot water to make them soft enough to force into the bottle, and when the bottle is near ly full, force the steriHzed cork into the neck, leaving a little space on the top of the cork into which hot sealing wax is to be poured to render the con- tents thoroughly air tight.

VOGUE OF TUNtcs.

Tunics play an important role in the fashions of the summer, and appear quite as often in frocks for the tiny daughter as for her mother.
 Dainty tunics of broderie Anglaise and silk muslin will be a feature also of the muslin and lawn summer frocks and these are eXtremly cool and de- lightful for young girls. Tunics of muslin and lawn are most effective, too, draped over satin charmeuse.

Whistling.

MT Editor: In one of your editorial notes on Saturday you said: Wilson is given to Whistling, and just now is practicing two tunes"
 Is one of them the tune that "the old houn dawg" died by in Baltimore, and the other the, one that was sung when the Bull Moose" was born at Chicago?
 Teddy needs no whistle to make mus ic( and Franklin didn't need one when he found out that he had paid too much for his whistle. The price of many whistles vii be in the Bull Moose campaign.

EVOLUTION OF THE CAPITAL
Expenditure on All New Buildings of Hewn Granite Has Been unarudg-
 ingly Lavish.

The authorization of three new de partment buildings. designed to be seen together and accordingly harmon ized in their architecture, is the long est single step thus far taken fin the evolution of Virginian village into city worthy to be the capital and show place of the second in population and the first fin wealth of modern nations. (One excepts from the comparison. for different but obvious reasons, the British and the Chinese "Empires.")
 He who visits Washington, says a writer in Scribners. now after ten years, who has not seen 1t, say, since just after the war with Spain, finds so great transformation that he is fain to take his bearings anew from the ancient landmarks. and is relieved to find the capitol and the monument still predominant. Even after five years one finds the new monuments, architectural and sculptural, wing in interest with the old. But the decade is more eligible period than the lustrum for the purpose Of comparison because it is ten years since the sen ate authorized it's district committee to employ experts for the improve ment of the park system of the Dis trict of Columbia.
 chief element of ones wonder is the costHness of the new building. Probably the first thought Of the aver age American. visiting or revisiting Washington, is that of Mrs. Carlyie's domestic at the sight of the engraving of the Sistine Madonna, "Lor, mum. how expensivei" The expenditure on all these new expanses of hewn gran ite or marble has been not only un- grudging but lavish. The three new department buildings which form the immediate occasion of these remarks are estimated to cost ss,000. 900.
