September 18th, 1893, the corner stone
of the capitol in Washington, D. c., was
laid and it seemed very fitting that a
paper entitled City of Washington,
Past, Present and Future" should be
read on this occasion. Mrs. Belle Town
send took up the subject in a thorough
and entertaining manner and her paper
received much applause. At its conclu-
sion the regent called upon several ladies
who had recently visited Washington to
add word of their experience in this
city. After singing America " the
meeting adjourned. Refreshments were
served and social hour enjoyed.

Nearly forty of the states of the
Union produce granite, some of these
in large quantities, hut Vermont easily
leads in this great industry. The
Green Mountain State particularly ex-
GELS in the finer grade2 of granite, sup
plying either the material or the finished
work for more than twice as many
mausoleums and monuments as does
any other state. Vermont granite is
largely used also in the erection of
many large public and semi-public
buildings. There are at present about
14O companies quarrying or manufac-
turing granite, on considerable scale,
in Vermont. While the marble indus
try is largely in the hands of one large
corporation, the granite industry, as a
rule, is carried on by many compare
lively small companies, although there
are several large corporations; one at
Hardwick, and few at Barre, each of
which employs large number of men.
