HOW RAILROADS GROW.
A Years Improvements and Extensions of
Some of the Leading Lines Cen
tering in st. Paul.
Hundreds of Miles Of Steel Rails Laid and
Grading Done for Almost as
Many More.
The Manitoba Comes to the Front
With improvements Costing
Over S5,OOO,OOO.
Seven Branches of the M1Iwaukee-'
Many Local improvements
A Good Year.

The figures given by the railroads CEN
tering in st. Paul showing their improve
ments for the past year are extremely fiat
tering, and prove that ST. Paul is rapidly
becoming one of the greatest railroad cen
tiers in the United States. The vast terri
tory that surrounds st. Paul is being
pierced by lines of road and the products of
this country are being poured into the
Eastern market through this great North
western gateway. Although the past year
has been remarkable one for improve
mentS made in railway circles. next year
promises to be more lively if possible. and
st. Paurs railway facilities will be largely
increased by Jan. 1, 1888.
1t would require an almost unlimited
amount of space to give in detail the work
of each railroad centeriDg in this city. and
an almost perfect idea can be gotten Of the
amount of money expended in extensions
and land improvements from the cOmpre-
hensive summary given below. The figures
are authentic. coming directly from the en-
gineering and operating departments of
each of these lines.

Washburn. in the northern part of WiScOn-
sin. Considerable track laying has also
been done in Nebraska and double track

BIG LAUNDRY SCHEME.
Owens Lake as a Place to Wash
Clothes.

While II. NJ. Yerington was in
San Francisco a few days ago as
some parties called on him to as
certain how much he would charge
car load to take dirty linen from
San Francisco to Owens Lake.
They said their idea was to do all
the washing for San Francisco at
Owens Lake as they had heard that
the borax and saltpeter in the
water would make an old dirty shirt
as white as the driven snow in the
winter. They had found stock
company with 100000 capital called
the San Francisco and Owens Lake
Natural Laundry Company Omit
ed) Mr.. Yerington told them that
there was no doubt about the clean
ing qualities of the water, why"
said he once when out looking for
new railway route | was obliged to
wear a pair of socks three weeks,
when set up in the sand they would
stand alone. [ cast them into the
lake and in five minutes they were
as white as shirt bosom.
You bet Bill this is the boss
scheme said one of the Trustees of
the new company.
But" continued the narrator
when [ went to pull the socks on
they came all to pieces because
there is some mineral substance in
the water that acts like blue Wit
riol. Once [ left a shirt in there
over night and the tail and the
buttons were all eaten off. If you
could chemically eliminate the
stuff that ate the buttons off the
shirt you'd have big thing and if
you ever do put me down for a
thousand shares" Before he had
finished the Trustees of the new
company had left the room and
were fighting for the first call on the |
elevator.

THE APPEALS" REPORT.
The APPEALS special reporter
sends the following:
The San Jose (adjourneO Con
vention met at Ii A. NJ. in the Sen
ate Chamber. It was already or
ganized, aud has done but little; it
was awaiting the action of the new
or Sacramento" Convention which
has consumed the day in spar
ring" This is very large and
able body Of men, umbering about
three hundred. There are plenty
Of lawyers, Office holders and office
seekers. About ninety members,
mostly from San Francisco, Ala
media, etc, seem determined to
rule the Convention or raise Cain.
Only one vote has been taken up
to this time, which went against
the Sargent-Pixley crowd. This
motion was that the San Jose Con-
vention should be admitted, and it
carried two to one. Still [ hardly
think the two bodies will work to-
gether, and if they do [ don't be
lieye anything will be accom-
rlished. I was admitted member
of the San Jose Convention.
The other met in the Assembly
Chamber. A caucus Of the ''Su-
pervisor" has been called, and both
bodies have adjourned to meet at

were speaking at time all day in

to starvation. This labor uprising
has created a great sensation as
strikes have hitherto been unknown

advise the strikers to preserve

By AUNT HOPE.

Don't do it, Margaret, you'll be
sorry for il" said one sister 10 an
other, as size saw her about making
a mixture Of sugar. whisky and wa
ter, to give to her little boy bah,
But Margaret only sneered at her
sister Mary, while she defiantly put
bib under baby's chin, and gave it
teaspoon after teaspoon of the mix
ture of sorrow. The baby soon fell
into heavy slumber, and Its mother
was then free to do the sewing she
had planned for the day.
Day after day this same dose was
given to the baby, until 1T began to
cry for it, and would never sleep
without it. Mary tried TO show her
sister the wrong she was doing, but
we all know how easy it is to keep
our own opinions; so Mary's advice
was set aside, and baby grew fast,
the same as other babies do. But
the taste for whisky also grew with
it, and when he was old enough to
deceive he would come day after day
to his mother, complaining Of sick
ness, and nothing seemed to help like
whisky. His mother unsuspectingly
gave it to him. until she had made
drunkard OF her boy, her pride.
He was her only child, and she had
planned grea; things for his future,
but she had benummed his sensihili-
ties in infancy, and overheated his
brain, so she gathered in bitter tears
the seed she had sown.
His parents sent him 10 college
and tried to make man of him, bat
through drink he got into disgrace
ful affair, which, for the standing Of
the school, the professors could not
excuse, and he was sent home to his
parents with Ruined plainly writ
ten on his face. His father then got
him situation where he thought he
would be greatly out Of temptation,
and for while his parents were
much encouraged; but he soon found
evil companions, and the taste for
strong drink was part of his train
ing for life, SO he again yielded,
drank to excess, lost his place, and
went home to be torment TO his
home. No one would employ him,
for he would not remain sober long
at time. His fathers hair turned
gray, and his mothers step became
less light, and their hearts pain
showed in their faces, but none of
this checked his downward course.
The mother pleaded with her boy;
the father said, "Oh! my son, it is
not too late to turn from the evil
Way" but nothing touched his heart,
and his life went out in sadness and
misery one winters night. When
coming home Intoxicated be had
fallen on the icy curb stone, and
when found the next morning was
dead.
His father and mother lived but
few years after their sons death, nut
never did his mother mention to any
one that she had made him what he
was, but her sister Mary often said
that she didn't believe Margaret re
allied that she had first tempted the
child.
Mothers, this same story is being
enacted before your eyes every day.
You do not see more than the begin
ming, when you see the slumber OF the
little one after strong decoction OF
whisky, sugar and water; but If this
same act Is kept up day after day,
watch carefully ana YOU will see that
the end is drunkard's grave, and
God Will not hold that mother guilt
less who thus slsughters one of His
little ones. Church and Home.
