The War Against Overhead Wires

AN'"
NEW YORK, April 23.-Mayor Grant
this morning ordered the removal OF all
telephone and telegraph wires on Broad
way, from city hall to Fourteenth street
and from Fourteenth to Fift-ninth street,
including all sorts of wires except those
of the fire department. This will create
a havoc as the telegraph companies, es-
pecially the Western Union, have impor.
ant offices along the route. 1t is be,
lieved the down town business district
will be attacked next and Wall street is
beginning to be scared at the prospect OF
being cut off. Broadway from Twenty
third to Thirty third streets is now entirely
cleared of poles. A gang is now work,
ing between Thirty third and Forty second
streets and expect to have that portion
cleared to-day.

WAITING AND RUSHING.
Interesting Notes About the Big New
Shop Plant.

One piece of machinery that will be
used in furnishing the new Union Pacific
shop has never received even a p~ittance
of the notice to which it is entitled by
virtue of its size and usefulness. 1t is a
colossal crane which will have a hosting
capacity of about 100 tons and which will
be used in lifting disabled locomotives
about the hospital. With the crane an
engine of any weight may be quickly
transferred from track to track or to IN
point within the shop desired. 1t will
replace the cumbersome jack screw system
by holding locomotives in the air until
the trucks are removed, when they may
be gently dropped into place.
Work on the machine shop and mann
moth smoke stack is practically at a stand.
still, but will be resumed some time this
week. General Foreman Pullman yes
terday visited the Iron Mountain quar-.
ries and made arrangements for the i'm
mediate delivery of the cut stone re-
quired to complete the base of the great
chimney. Iron for the machine shop
ceiling is west of Omaha and will be re-
ceived here in a day or two at the most.
When this delayed material arrives the
working force at the shops will be largely
reinforced.
The north wall of the long blacksmith
shop is nearly finished and the big struc-
ture will be ready tor the roofers mex
week.
A visit to the shops is well worth the
time spent. Nearly 100 men are en-
ployed and work is being rushed.

MIR. Benedict saws that at present trans
portation of the raw ore back to Natrona
Is more economical than would be the
erection and maintenance of a smelter at
the mine. Freight on ore is low; on in.
Gots very high. Then the trade requires
that ingots be barrelled and it would be
necessary to ship the barrels west. Finally
at their works the proper fuxes are at
hand. but In this connection it is believed
that the Rawhide district can furnish the
proper mix.
Silver Crown is soon to be favored by
a visit from Mr.. Benedict and a travel
ing agent of the company, and there is
no telling what may follow, However
this will not be enlarged upon, but it is
certain that this powerful company will
further interest itself in Carbon county.
1t is limited that iron deposits may receive
attention, in which event the Union Pa
cific will surely construct a spur to the
Rawhide district.

Struck the Earth.

A sharp flash of lightning at 2:2O
O'Clock Yesterday afternoon was followed
so quickly by a cracking report that Sig
nal Observer PurSsell was convinced that
the bolt had struck ncar the city. He
instituted a search at once and was re-
warded early in the hunt, when it was
learned that the lightning had struck in
the roadway near the corner of Twentieth
and Seymour. The effect was a four
ccrncred star with a depressed center
marking the point of collision. Light
nlng frequently strikes the earth, but it is
very seldom that the mark can be found.
People residing in the locality indicated
noticed the phenomenon at once and the

DELAYED Mail.

The Union Pacific express train due
here at l:55 o'clock yesterday afternoon
did not reach the city until nearly mid
night, An accident on the Nebraska d.
vision caused the delay The high priced
train attempted TO pass a west bound
freight near Chapman, a station east Of
Grand Island. The result was a demol
ished caboose, a wrecked locomotive and
a ruined baggage car. At the leaving
time of the delayed train Superintendent
Barr sent a special with business from

ONIONS VERSUS OIUNINE.

A correspondent of the american
Garden says: 'One day | was taken
with chIlls and headache, signs that my
old enemy, malaria, was on hand. My
quinine box was empty, and was look
ing forward to a restless, sleepless night.
In desperation | peeled raw onion and
slowly ate il; then went to bed, with
warm feet and an extra comfortable,
when-presto! was asleep in five min
utes, and awaked in the morning free
from malaria and ready for the days
duties. Our homely but strong friend
will be appreciated in time as a medi-
cine, and if agriculurists would turn
their attention to raising a model onion,
with the strong scent taken out that
taints the breath so unpleasantly, fami-
lies will be putting their pills in the
cellar by the barrel, and the doctors
would take to onion farming. The onion
acts az cathartic and diurelic aud may
help to break up cold or lessen the bad
symptoms. Said a doctor: i always
store a barrel of onions in my cellar in
the fall. We have them cooked twice a
week, and whoever of the family is
threatened With cold eats some onions
raw. II this vegetable were generally
eaten they would be no dlphtheria, rheu
matism, govt, kidney or stomach troub
les. But bless you! the young men or
women are afraid to eat them One
young man went so far as to say to ME
that if his wife ate onions he wou'd get
bill of Divorce"

THE LITTLE HIGH CHAIR.

There was an auction at one OF the
downtown auction houses recently. A
pale, sad-faced woman, in plain calico
GOWN. stood in a crowd. The loud.
voiced auctioneer finally came to lot
of plain and somewhat worn furniture;
1t had belonged to the plain woman, and
was being sold to satisfy the mortgage
on it.. One by one the articles we're sold,
the old bureau to one, the easy rocker
to another, and bedstead to third.
Finally the auctioneer hauled out a
childs high-chair. 1t was old and rick
ETY., and as the auctioneer held it up
everybody laughed-everybody except
ing the pale-faced woman A tear
trickled down her cheek. The auction.
eer saw it, and somehow lump seemed
to come up his throat, and his grutf
voice grew aoft. He remembered a lit
tie high-chair at home, and how it had
once filled his life with sunshine.
1t was empty now. The baby laugh,
the two little hands that we're once held
out to greet papa" from that high-chair
were gone forever. He saw the pale
faced woman's piteous looks, and knew
what it meant; knew that in her eye the
little rickety high chair was more prec
ious than if it had been made OF gold
and studded with diamonds. In imag-
nation he could see the little dimpled
cherub which it once held; could see
the little dimpled feet which had rubbed
the paint off the legs; could see the
chubby little fist grasplng the tin rattle
box and pounding the chair full OF
hicks; could hear the Growing and
laughing in glee-and now the little
high-chair was empty.
He knew there was an empty void IN
the pale-faced womans heart; there was
in his own. Somehow the day may
come and go, but you never get over 1t.
There is no one to dress in the morning,
no one to put to bed at night. Don't
Taught" said the auctioneer. softly, as
somebody facetiously offered ten cents;
"many of you have little empty high
chairs at home which money would not
tempt you to part with" Then he hand
ed the clerk bill out of his own pocket
and remarked, "Sold to the lady right
there" and as the little pale-faced wo-
man walked out with the little high
chair clasped in her arms, and tears
streaming down her cheeks, the crowd
stood back respectfully, and there was a
suspicious moisture in the eyes of the
man who had bid ten cents.-Deirot

A little descriptive piece entitled
"Over the Guns" from the Detroit Free

hint from it.
Here is the paragraph
"Shoot to the right or left, over the
guns or under them. Strike where you
will, but strike to destroy. Now the
hell surges down, even to the windows
of the old farm house-now back under
the apple trees and beyond them Dead

the guns, mad devils are slashing and
shooting across the barrels. No one

"But the hell is dissolved. The smoke
is lifting, shrieks and screams grow
fainter, and twenty or thirty living mer
pull the dead bodies away from the guns

WHEN TO USE THE FINGERS IN EAT
ING.

II is said that Cardinal Richelieu de-
tected an adventurer who was passing
himself off as an nobleman. by his help
ING himself to olives with fork, be-
cause il was the custom then, as it is
now to help ones self from the dish
with the fingers, if an olive fork is not
provided. rather than to use one OF
a different pattern, Forks for the dish
alone are now manufactured and are
very generally used, but after the olive
has reached the plate it is always car
ried to the mouth by the fingers. or
course we are not referring to the stuffed
olives WHICH are bottled in oil.
Those who are very particular hold
the large end of spear OF asparagus
with fork while with the tip end of
knife they daintily seperate the tender
green tops from the white end, which
is then put aside. Others take the white
end between the fingers and carry it to
the mouth, Both are correct, but the
former is much more dainty and easily
done.
Celery is always taken from the dish
and carried to the mouth by the fingers.
II individual salts are not provided, it
is etiquette to use one half of the but.
ter plate for salt. If salt shakers are
used, hold the celery in the left hand
Just over the rim of your plate and
gently sprinkle It with salt, and the old
custom of putting spoonful of salt en-
the cloth is still in practice. When
corn is served on the. cob it must be
taken in the fingers, only managed very
daintiy. We have seen pretty little
doyles for the purpose of holding it, but
it is a question if that is not carrying
table linen too far. Many hOusekeepers,
and especially IN the South, serve corn
as a separate course when finger bowls
are placed by each plate and removed
with the course,
Lettuce when served without dressing
is always pulled to pieces with the fin
gers This is usually the lady's duty
and there is no prettier picture than that
of a young lady preparing a plate OF
fresh crisp lettuce leaves in this way,
for the tender green shows off to perfec-
ton her dainty white hands and she
