by the cloudes OF dust which rose from the

DOWN COME THE POLES.
How New York is Proceeding to Get Rid
of the Overhead Wires.

How New York is Proceeding to Get Rid
of the Overhead Wires.
New YORK, April 16.-It is expected that
the department OF public works will some
time to-day proceed to remove the over
head telegraph, telephone and electric light
wires to force compliance with the law re-
uuiring them to be laid underground. 1t is
expected there will be no electric lights in
the streets or on buildings tonight. Up to
1920 this morning the department. was
waiting for an order from the mayor to be-
gin work.
The Mayor sent to the commissioner of
public works to-day a letter notifying him
otthe poles and wires that were to come
down. They were as follows: On Sixth
avenue from Twenty-Five street to Fifty.
eighth street, except the Western Union
wires on the elevated railway; on Broad
Way from Fourteenth street to Forty-fifth
street, except the fire department line on
went third street from Sixth avenue to
Broadway; on Twenty-ifth street from
Fifth avenue to Broadway, and on Forty
third from Sixth avenue to Madison
avenue.
About 10 o'clock Mayor Grants secre-
tsry received a certified copy Of Judge
Wallace's order %Gissolving the Injunction
procured by the Western Union company
against the mayor and board of electrical
control. The order Was sent to the depart
ment Of public works. Before II O'Clock
the poles at Fourteenth street and Union
Square we're being cut down. Hundreds OF
people gathered to witness the novel
sight. Two gangs, one on each side OF the
street. attacked the poles. Another COM
pany OF strong armed wood choppers made
an attack on the poles OF Sixth avenue
and Twenty-third street.
The fall OF every pole q hailed with
cheers by the crowd. The commissioners

Turned Gentleman Farmer.

Er-Mayor William Owsley has tired Of
the turmoil and strife OF city life and has
turned gentleman farmer. He recently
purchased one OF the finest ranches IN
Madison County, near Twin Bridges, where
he and his young and accomplished wife
have settled down to enjoy life in real
earnest. Their handsome residence has
lately been painted within and without and
most artis' .ically decorated and papered
by S. II. Rogers OF this city, who has just
returned from the ranch and declares that
Mr.. Owsley has one Of the finest ranch
properties in the Territory. Not only is
the residence a model of neatness aud COM
Tort, but it is surrounded by model out
buildings, AMI all the fruits and vegetable
grown in Montana are found in the garden.
The many friends Of ex-Mayor Owsley viii.
Wish him and his wife long life, prosperity
and happiness in their new home, and will
congratulate Madison County On the
acquisition OF a worthy citizen.

A Simple FLY Bar.

Notes and Queries: When visiting q
friend last summer he called my attention
to q curious plan for preventing the plague
of flies in his house. The uppersash OF one
OF the windows in his sitting being
open for ventilation. there was suspended
outside a piece of common fishing net. Ny
friend told me that not a fly would venture
10 pass through it. He has watched Tor an
hour at a time and seen swarms ny to
within a few inches oil the net. and then,
after buzzing about for a little, depart. He
told me the flies would pass through the
net il there was a thorough l~ight-that is,
another window in the opposite wal.
Though the day was very warm, l did not
see O single fly in the room during my visit,
though elsewhere in the town they were seen
in abundance. I suppose they imagine the
net to be a spiders web, or some other trap
intended for their destruction.

Terrible Storms which Occasionally Visit
the Samoan Islands.

Terrible Storms which Occasionally Visit
h Samoan Islands.
From the San Francisco "Bulletin:" The
loss OF the German and United States war
vessels in q hurricane in the Harbor of Apia
ia what may be expected to occur to all
vessels in that port at irregular intervals
OF q few years. The writer was in Apia in
1856 for q period OF about one month, dur
ing which time q moderator storm prevented
landing from the shipping for three days.
The Harbor OF Apia is made by q reefabout
q mile from the northern shore. Usually this
reef is only a wash, with smooth water in
side, but in case OF storms or strong. winds
from the north the combers or sea waves
eep over the reef and sxpend their vio-
lence on the inner shore.
While hurricanes only ONE at irregular
intervals Of years, their visitations are ex-
tremely destructive both to vessels and
buildings on shore. In 1855 a hurricane
was reported to have unroofed every build
ing on the island. There were no vessels
there at the time.
The only thoroughly safe harbor in the
Samoan Group is that OF Pango-Pango. on
the island of Tutuila, aud this safety is in
