The man who committed suicide at
the Palmer House, a few weeks ago,
lost all of his money in Hankins den,
and a good Judge says that that place
can claim more victims than Monte
Carlo!
Hundreds of cases of embezzlement
and crime among book-keepers and
cashiers are directly attributable to
losses in this house.
No wonder that Hankins' game
cleared $4,000 in the month of Oc-
tober.
No wonder that it averages over
$50, 600 per month.
1t is a skin game from start to
finish
The latest story on the street about
it is a good one.
1t is said that the house has devised
a new scheme for skinning suckers
1t is alleged that it has rugged out a
skt-light with a stairway attachment,
through which the inmates escape
when the police raid the place.
A sky-light ON a neighboring roof
has been rented, and affords means of
escape to the street
But the best part of the matter re-
mains to be told
The proprietor stations a man at the
sky-light, who collects 81 for the priv
ilege of being allowed to get out.
In the meantime the police are ham

money returned. 4 man who, under
Harrison's administration, was close to
Hankins, estimates that the expenses
of the establishment are not less than
5000 per week. or $500 GOO per year.
The gross earnings of the house are
estimated at $3.50, 600 per year, leaving
a net profit of $500, 600 per year. This
enormous sum comes from the pockets
of the poor clerks and poorer laborers.
Boys are admitted to the house with
out question, and their meager salaries
(and doubtless some of their employers
money! fall into the already well-flled
Golfers of Hankins and his partners.
The suckers" are betting against a
game that enriches the proprietors
at the rate of over 81 1,000 per day.
The EAGLE has published the figures
relating to Hankins' earnings before
1t cannot publish them too often. They
are full of awful facts.
How many homes are despoiled to
give Hankins such profits?
How many hearts.are broken to give
Hanl1ins such profits?
How many employers are robbed to
give Hankins such profits?

But the story is not half as rich as
that sky-light makes Hanllins.
Frequently, when the plucking is
not going ON fast enough, some Of the
"lookouts" give false alarm, and a
dollar is collected from every one of the
suckers" in the house before they are
let on to the roof
Then they are let back again, and
sometimes the game is played as often
as twice a night, to the great benefit Of
the house.

fNicollet avenue was more crowded
than ever last week because of
the blocks removed from the roadway
and piled OH the pavement and the four
foot trench at the right of the street
with its long border of yellow earth
thrown from it, and now that the crowds
passing that way have learned that the
trench with the two rows of black
asphalt concrete buried in it. forms the
conduit through which are to be passed
all the wires that make the upper strata
OF the beautiful street unsightly with
their ragged poles, the question that is
a thousand times put, is: ''How are
the wires to be gotten through those
little channels four feet below the sur
face of the street,"
When GLOBE reporter asked the
manager of the work how it was to be
done, he looked up with tired smile and
said; ''Sit down and I'll tell you," and
wrote 1858 OH the wall, Pm keeping
tab of how many have asked me that
question:" and when he learned the
answer was to go into print to enlighten

pasted on long sheets of paper for con-
Senience in handling.
Another force has been writing up the
societies, historical matter, and when
the proofs come back the most compez:
tent are employed to read proof on the
names. This is a laborious job, as re-
yises are frequent. The slips, from
start to finish, are examined critically at,
least twenty times. The last thing done
is an actual count of every individual in
the directory, for an estimate of the
population.
Parallel with this work, force of adj

1t is in general a thankless task. There
will be no end of kicking. Peoples
names will get in wrong, despite the ut
most care in canvassing them; their em-
Payments will be put down with less
dignity than they expected, and half

hears them all patiently and promises a
better result next year. But, III fact,
the directory does in the natural course
of things improve in accuracy every
year, provided it remains under the
same management, but Minneapolis is

TIMELY ADVICE.
A Few Suggestions for Fallen
IdoPs Future.

A Few Suggestions for Fallen
IdoPs Future.
Now that Col. P. Cardiff, formerly of
Minneapolis, is in the deepest portion
of the PURGE Of beans, the inquiry arises:
''What will poor Patsey do now?" Some
one suggests that his long struggle in
the soup must have eminently fitted him
for the career of a professional swim
mer. A local sport says that the life of
a bridge Waterman is the only one left
open to the Peoria giant. 1t is quiet,
peaceful existence. with plenty of OPP
portunity for observation and reflection,
which would undoubtedly be a good
thing for Patsey. The suggestion
that the freak shows could use
him as the man who fought
a-cOon-and-quit-in-th is cruel
and unkind. The lack of danger and
excitement and the unbounded oppor-
tunity to talk with ones mouth might
lead him to become a member of the
board Of trade or an alderman. Some
sarcastic cuss has insinuated that the
''big un's" former admirers might set
him up in business with tin sign and
a barrel organ on wheels. The police
force has been mentioned as position
of retirement and lucrative rest. An
unchrlstian dyspeptic, who lost so or 80
cents on the fight, calls attention to the
fact that prominent Hennepin avenue
cigar store is entirely without Statuary.
But the "mOst unkindest cut of alp is

The ends of the lengths of cable
drawn through in this way must now be
joined together. In doing this the ends
are opened and stripping them of their

insulating material and lead sleeve
previously passed over the cable is
slipped over the joint. By this means
the cable can be opened at the manhole,
if desired, and any individual wire
picked out by side connections.
cat these manholeS the wires that are
to go to the block branch out, and by
underground connections are carried

In the general type of these cables
the insulators are surrounded with in
sulating and wrapping material en-
cased in pipe of lead or of lead and
tin alloy. but there are number of diff
ferent kinds.
There is the arc light cable, contain

descent cable is of very large capacity,

wires are used to facilitate Identified

Down near Bridge square the ducts
are now being tested to see that they
are perfect, and the long fishing rod
like tubes are gong through nicely.
The work of laying the conduits has
progressed with dispatch during the
week. There are now in the city about
125 manholes in view. The conduits
are to run wherever wires are neces-
sary. The cables will not be placed in
at once, but 10y next winter all the net
work of them overhead on the princi-
pal streets will be in the ducts of the
conduits. One beauty is that now that
the cOnduits are laid there is no more
blocking of the streets in the work.
