DISFICURINC WIRES
Now Strung on Unsightly
Poles Will Soon Be Per-
manently Removed.
Preliminaries Completed for
Inaugurating Work on the
Subway Conduit.
The District Embraced by the
Map Of the City En-
gineer.
A Sterile Sunday in the An
mails Of the Sanity
City.

All the preliminaries have been ar
ranged in regard to the laying of the
conduit to put the unsightly telegraph
wires which now disfgure the streets
underground, and the work will be
pushed forward as rapidly as circum-
stances will permit. Corporation At
torney Murray has received the accept
ance from the National Subway COM
pany of the ordinance passed by the
council and the papers have been filed
with the city clerk. City Engineer
Rundlett has completed the map of the
district that will be embraced in this
Improvement. which will be inside the
following boundaries: Broadway ON
the east, Third street on the south,
Eighth street on the north and ST. Peter
street on the west. Conduits will be
laid along Broadway, between Third
and Seventh streets; on Wacouta,
jackson, Minnesota and Wabasha
streets, and on Fourth and Sixth streets
from Broadway to st. Peter street.
The exact number of ducts has not
been fully determined upon, but the
greatest number will be on jackson,
Wabasha and Fourth streets, and on all
these streets double line of conduits
will be laid, one for the electric light
and power wires and the other for tele-
graph and telephone wires, both lines,
however, being placed in the same
trench.
''The possession of the franchise to
put up wires," said Manager Dorsett,
of the subway company, 'has been
taken advantage of by the telegraph
companies to range unsightly poles
wherever they felt disposed and string
them with hundreds of dead wires.
There was great deal of opposition to
the proposed subway by these COM
panies, for they were quick to under.
stand that such action meant blow to
their monopoly, and the decisive vote of
the council was a great setback to
them.
1T was a pOpular measure, however,
and no one appreciated this fact more
than the members of TIM council, and
out of sixteen votes recorded only two
were against the subway ordinance as
amended by Mayor Smith. Originally
IL was IlG lultIlJlOn Oh UQG company TO
put up works in st. Paul for
the manufacture of material in
tended for use in the conduits,
but that idea has abandoned for this
season, and especially as a satisfactory
rate has been made with the railroad
companies between this city and Chi
cagO, where our mandatory is located.
I'VE want to put men at work some
time next month, and it is probable that
active operations may be inaugurated
about the LIST proX.
Now that the map of the district has
been completed there is little left to. be
done in the matter of details, and with
III sixty days we hope to be able to re-
port satisfactory progress.
The volume Of business transacted
will govern very materially as regards
the size of the ducts, and on the princi-
pal streets, like Jackson or Wabasha,
for instance, they will be larger on ac-
count of the number of wires encaSed
in them than on the side Streets"

SEWER RUNS
through open cutters. DlShWater and
Stops are tossed into the streets from
doors and windows, and a good, hard
rain storm is as great a blessing here as
amid the tenement districts of New
York's uncleaned streets.
The student of human life does not
have to resort to any strategem to dis
cover the sort of existence which is had
in this sOrrowfull side of the smoky
city. A walk through the streets tells
all There are no disguises. The bare,
brown doorstep, the table seen through
the open doorway, the fr0wsy bed
standing by theopen window, all bear
their testimony of a comfOrleSS life in
plain few OF the passersby. You may
know now much (or how little) the
family has to eat; you may count the
household goods, or the children, or the
NANCY dogs and cats, or you may
know how many times the growler
crosses the street to the saloon, if it
goes at all, and who gets the benefit of
its contents. Courtship and marriage,
sickness and sorrow, deaths and births
all go on in the purview of men, for
poverty can afford no secrets, and the
cliff jewellers of the Monongahela are
very poor. Luckily for them the great
body of the people have eyes which see
not and the enforced publicity of their
life is little haraSsed by impertinent
curiosity.
Many of the men who with their fam
lilies exist in these little brown tene-
ments are humble workers in the big
steel works of Jones & Laughlin, the
largest rivals of Carnegie, Phipps u Co.,
who, when they are running full
capacity, have over 5000 men on their
pay rolls. AS they are running the same
class of SpecialtieS as the Carnegies,
Jones q Laughlin are expected to sign
the amalgamated scale and go to work,
but on the 5th of the month they were
swearing by the tariff and all that was
holy that they would never, never re-
sumo work until the men agreed to ac-
cept lower wages. These men, it must
be remembered, although they are
caught in the jaws of the lockout, have
no hand in the quarrel between the
Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Steel Workers and the Association of
Iron and Steel Manufacturers. They
are not the well-paid rollers and pud-
lerS, but only the common ones who
help the skilled artisans do their work.
The amalgamated association neither
cares for them nor cherishes them. 1t
will not take them into membership.
Labor, but even that order can look for
no friendship from the more
ARISToCRATIC ONE.
Nobody cares for these men, employer
or skilled workman. They are labor,
pure and simple, like the mules and the
cranes and the tram cars, to be bought
at the cheapest figure and tossed away
when it becomes incapacitated. If well
paid, these laborerS get a matter of 81 so
per day. But many of the laborers are
forced to live and support their families
Oh 90 cents day.
1.-The firm of Tug & Co. treats its labor
very handsomely" said Mr.. Heating, of
the Manufacturers association. 1--WE
keep it pretty steadily employed, and
pay it as much as the city does for its
laborers, not taking advantage of large
supply, as some firms in Pittsburg do.
There are some firms here which pay
only 80 cents day. We have never
gone so low as that"

TRAINING LITTLE ONES
In the Proper Paths They Ought to
Pursue.
THE DAY NURSERY PROJECT.
A Practical Charity That Should Meet
With Substantial Enc0ur-
agement.

The kindergarten is comparatively
recent Institution in st. Pau. 1t was
during the past year that one on Day
toms bluff and another in the Relief so
clety building were established by the
efforts of Rev. E. G. Mitchell, pastor of
the Swedenborgian church, and num-
Der of charitable women, who constitute
the kindergarten association.
In the school held in the relief society
rooms thirty-four pupils are enrolled.
Many are over six years old and some as
young as three. There being no law
compelling children of certain age to
attend school in this city, the association
has made practice of receiving any
who applied for instruction at the kim
dergarten. But as the schools fill up
the older ones must gO-into the streets
and wherever their unframed, Unborn
tendencies may lead them, unless COM
Pnlssory education be established, Or the
kindergarten privileges extended. Up
to the present time the largest donation
that has been made is $50. 1t is the
opinion of one of the ladies of the asso-
citation that, in the end, it would be in
hnltely cheaper for business men to
contribute means for educating the poor
and making good citizens of them than
to provide for their support
IN JAILS AND WAREHOUSES;.
The main principle of the kinder
garten system taught here is-doing is
learning. The benefit is not confined to
the children. There is most encour-
aging change noticeable in the chill
dren's homes. They become tidier.
doing is learning" Mothers work such
miracles, scrubbing up their youngsters,
they discover what can be accomplished
with their other belongings. The moral
atmosphere in the homes changes, too.
The children become less rough, more
peaceable. And think what a dis
turbing element is quieted when
SIX, five. four, even three quar-
relsome, lOud-mouthed, pugilistic
young ones are Gained down.
Instances might be given of the ''grand
Transformation scenes produced in
homes of the poor by means of the kim
dergarten. But the ladies of the asso-
citation strongly condemn printed per-
sOnalltieS that make material" of their
poor.
1t is the aim of the association to es-
tabllsh other kindergartens in various
parts OF the town. Rooms are also being
fixed up i'll the Relief society building
for creche, or day nursery-a sort of
baby-farming Institution, that relieves
workingwomen of the care of their
babies during working hours. No con-
tributions to this have been received
yet, and until generous persons and full
purses do come to the front the project
can make no Roadway.

The men looked at each other and
laughed. Two out of six were Demo-

party and high tariff. Indeed, Allie

majority of 5000 or thereabOuts. The

next touched upon.

shell, but they know that none is fired
for them, though sometimes they get a
little benefit from the victory. The
tariff hasn't anything to do with those
wages"
Secretary Martin and President
Wiehle, of the Amalgamated associa-
ton, were asked if the association had
any interest in the outside laborers.
They admitted that it was not absorb
ing. As to whether the tariff was re-
sponsible for the good wages of the
skilled labor, they replied with laugh
and said, mot much" When asked if
the recent demonstration of the manu-
facturers did not have political flap in
its tail they nodded and winked and
said they would rather not be quoted.

stories about "Uncle Tom Torrey'

A group of the human cliff swallows
was standing idly about the door of one
of their shanties when the World CORE
spondent approached. They were told
what President Heating had said an
hour or two before, that the tariff bene-
fitted the laborers and not the manu-
facturers; that the workingmen live
good deal more eXtravagantly Oh this
side than their brethren on the other,
and that they have Injuries here which
they have learned to look upon as neces-

the Pullman Vestibule cars. 1t is not
easy to understand what more travellers
can want, but it is fair to presume that
the Pullman and Pennsylvania COM
panies will find it out and supply the
need before travellers themselves are
aware of it. And it is entirely safe to
assert that the best facilities now to be
obtained by travellers are offered by the
Pennsylvania lines. Under the splendid
