ONTINUAL investigations into the causes of (the high cost C of living have the effect of bringing out such contradictory statements of fact, and ruch opposing conclusions from agreed facts, it would appear advisable to appoint a committee of revision | t reconcile contradictions or eliminate them, make a digest of the rest and submit a report. When the strife between the consumer and the trusts became heated to a point where it was expected to come to a show down, the iepae was shifted to a joint charge thet the middleman is to blame. ‘The retailer and whclesaler promptly shifted the blame to the oom- paieston ren. Now comes a man before the Mayors Market Com- milesion and eays the commission merchant {¢ one thet enriches the producer, sells to the consumer for less than cost and goes into bank- raptey hinself. This particular witness, however, though « commis- sion merchant, hse never gone bankrupt. Hoe set forth the further! opinion that the chief causes of high prices, ontside the natural law | of eupply and demant, are a lack of sensible men and women among | the consuming clasees. | Neither the man nor the woman of the household will go to mar- | ket to make tle purchases. Neither of them will carry a package | through the streets. Servants that make purchases get a rake off. | Moreover they waste food in order to have need for more purchasing. | ‘Then the grocer and the butcher have to charge more to keep up j *ftylish establishments. So prices advance to meet the expense a ; folly and pride. So says the middleman. | THE PAN-AMERICAN RAILWAY PROJECT. Rove read before the Pan-American Railway Committee at! age Washington were sufficiently encouraging to afford reason for a ‘hope that men of this generation may eve the running | of @ through train from Winnipeg to Buenos Ayres. ‘There needs now only eighteen miles of connecting line to make @ contihuous rail route from New York to Guatemala City. Between that point and _ +) San Miguel, in Salvador, a line is already in process of construction. y From there on by degrees gaps are being filled up in the roads leading mY to the Panama Canal. g In South America even better progress is making. Despite the ‘MifBculties of mountain work, the lack of population and of wealth, read construction goes on year by year, and existing systems are | being linked and joined by connecting roads. It is probable that as the completion of the task draws nearer, as the gaps to be filled he- come fewer in number and shorter in length, the profits of union will | heeome more apparent and the work will be pushed forward with aj _ rash. | The enterprise will be worthy the emulation and ambition of | qneat engincers and capitalists. When the two great oceans have! been joined at Panama commerce will have no greater enterprise to eet before mankind than that of connecting the railway syeteme of the three Americas. ’ cea IO ES BEN ND | A CHANCE TO MAKE A LIVE WASHINGTON. | mw LANS announced by the Suffragettes for their parade in Wash. | ington on the day precedingthe inaugural promise the people of that city something more than a compensation for the | leek of an inaugural ball. They purpose to preface their parade by | @ grand spectacular ceremony presented to the public from the steps | of the Treasury Department. It will consist of several parts, includ: ing music, dancing, pantomime and tableaux. The great company | of the paraders will make a setting and a chorus for the scene never | Tivaled in a theatre nor surpassed by a circus. \ The event may please Washington visitors suificiently well to} justify the city in developing the idea and making a specialty of} street pageants. Such things draw crowds and ihe crowds pay. Preparations for them would give Washington Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce something to do. Tit is not at all likely that any trade or commerce of the usual kinds will go there, but the wide streets untrammelled by traffic afford excellent playgrounds for | the carnival spirit that is growing among us. Why not hold an his- toric street pageant every year in the springtime and give to brides ‘an@ country visitors something to see besides er) i st ‘wooden headed statesmen and casual Presidents? ues, MUCH WEALTH, LITTLE ART. N INVENTORY of the personal property of the city shows an A accumulation, some of it a hundred years old, valued at about $100,000,000, Jt ranges in variety from ferry steain- ere to handsaws, and in most departments is creditable to the mu- nicipality. It will be noted, however, that the total cost of portraits and paintings in city buildings of all kinde ia estimated at only f $200,000. Considering the amount of money expended for buildings, the spagnitude of the structures, the magnificence of much of the archi- tecture, the splendid material of marble, porphyry, onyx, plate glass, rare terra cottas and costly woods, employed lavishly to the verge of barbarism in some cases, the expenditure of so small a sum for genuine art decoration is niggardly. Evidently our artists have not known how to place their work. New York should expend an average of more than 200,000 on painting and sculpture every year. Tvery important public structure should be worthily adorned. Until that rhe done New York may continue to boast of being an art centre, but rahe will have no right to assert she has any art in her municipal life.

Hasty | inquiries were made. It was found that the militiamen refused to fight because their chaplain was not godly enough to sult them. When the soldiers were asked how they knew he was not godly they replied that Mis+ tress Anne Hutchinson had satd so. | Certain stately city magistrates In Boston were jecred at in the streets, | The scoffers expiained their scorn by saying Vistress Anne Hiutehinsea had dociared the magistrates were vot worthy men, Several Massachuset’9 clergymen found themselves preaching to empty pews, or were uyenly flouted and neglected by members of thetr congregation (an unheard of thing in those days, when “the minister” was regarded as something more then mortal). Inquiry showed that Mistress Anne Hutchinson disapproved of those especial preachers and that therefore they were held in contempt by their flocks. City government, real estate deals and other trade transactions, tax collecting—everything was more or, | in confusion. And in each case the discontent was | ly to Mistress Anne Hutchinson. | In an age when women were looked on as utterty tn- forior creatures who must sit meekly at home and not dare te veice any opfin- | {ons except those advanced by men, this one woman set all New England abiage. | She was a human etorm centre. | Anne was the daughter of an English clergyman named Marbury. She mar- ried William Hutchinson, who, from all accounts, aeeme to have been a pretty weak and spineless sort of fellow, content to be known as his wife's heeband And to obey submiasively her imperious will. The couple had fifteen children. In 1634 Anne migrated to Boston, bringing her meek and numerous family along. At once on her arrival in America she procerded to make her presence felt. She formed a woman's club—the first in Amerioa, perhaps the firat in the world ~-and urged the Boston women to think and act for themselves instead of fol- towing the doctrines taught to them by dlergymen and by their husbemdés. The good folk of Boston were amazed at such effrontery; the more 6o when | Anne started to attack the actions and beliefs of certain clersymen; to ture fer back on the pulpit or even walk out of chuboh when @ sermon 414 not euft ery to meddle with politics, finance and every other subject Bitherto claimed as the | exclusive property of Man. | Yet se brilliant and so magnetic was she that a mighty fection of the Bos- |ton people became ther devoted followers. The community was epitt into two | hostile camps—for and ngainst Anne Hutchinson, Hundrede on each side of the controversy had not the faintest {dea what the row wae about; as the lone | words and the complicated theological terms were fat over their heads But | they wore none the less zealous and quarreleome partisans on that account, | At last, by 1637, things had reached such a state that Anne was brought te | trial, @he conducted her own defense in a way for which no expert tawyer |need have been ashamed. Yet the men whose rights she had imperitic® and whore vanity she had smashed were too strong for her. She was excommum> cated from the chureh and banished from Massachusetts, Sixty of her fellew- ers were disfranchised and others were sent into exile. Anno and her family, with some of her adherents, fled to Rhode Tetand, where they founded the town of Portsmouth. She bought the taland of Aequia- |neck from the Narragansett Indians for 2,400 feet of wampum and lived there | for several years in @s much peace as such a woman could hope to enjoy. In 1642 her husband died. Hearing that the powerful Massachusetts esl- | ony was once more reaching out tts hand to seize her, Anne fied southward. |This time to the Dutch colonies. She settid not far from Pelham Manor, New York (where "Hutohinson Creek” and “Anne's Hook” were named in her honor). ' There @ year later a band of hostile Indians swoops! down upon her house, They sacked and burned the bull® ing. In cold blood they butchered Anne Hutchinees, her defensoless servants, an‘ all but one of her ehildren, who were with her at the | time, ‘The Massachusetts folk, hearing of her horrible fate, plously opined that it was @ judxment of heaven upon her former sins. Thus perished Anne Hutchinson, one of the most remarkable women fn all | American history, and one who has been variously termed a saint, a firebrand, @ genius and a crank, Butohered by the Indians.
