ANT1-RA1LwAY SENTIMENT.
The Cause of it Laid at the Doors of Rail-
road management.

The Cause of it Laid at the Doors of Rail-
road Management
William Baker, of Fort Benton, Mont. .,
in long letter to the Railway Age, one
of the leading railroad journals of the
country, charges that the popular preju-
dice that exists in the Western or new
states is due mainly to the methods
adopted or plans carried out by the rail-
road managers, by which determinations
between existing towns or cities are made,
and the starting of new towns owned by
railroads or railroad officials, which come
in competition with and frequently result
IN the rum of some town near which it
is built. In Mr.. Bakers letter the fol-
lowing appears:
"Often when railroad is built it or
its officials start new town, whose site
they own, or buy up real estate in some
established town aud then proceed to
'boomh that town in opp osition TO es-
tablished towns, which already control
the shipping and jobbIng business of the
surrounding country, by giving to their
town special rates in secret rebates, ETC.,
and locating roundhouses and machine
shops there and extending all branches
from the place they favor. Another way
is by passing the established town and
locating depot two miles or more away
while giving every convenience to their
own town. The value of real estate,
buildings, ETC., in less favored rivals
is thereby greatly lessened, and the
property owners, exasperated by their
losses, are glad of any opportunity to
''hit back" by supporting Gripping leg
islatiOn, bonusing parallel roads and so
on I'D inf1nitum. There are numberless
ways of fsvoTing one town at the expense
of another. AS for instance, just look
at Tacoma and Seattle Yakima and
North Yakima, all on the Northern Pa
cifo, where the first and fourth towns
were created at the expense of the sec
ond and third. Take for others, Bill
lings and Coulson in Montana, on the
same road .Coulson was wiped out to build
Billings, Bozeman was Disseminated
against in favor of Livingston, and Deer
Lodge IN favor of Missoula. On the
Manitoba, now the Great Northern, Ben
ton was disseminated against in favor
of Great Falls. This would be more ex-
cusabIe if the railways got any benefit
from it, but as a general thing they
don't. It is the officials who use the
road as a lever to boost their real estate to
almost any desired height.
1t is this that causes such extreme anti
railroad sentiments IN many of the
country newspapers, which are generally
more bound up in the interests of the
town in which they are published than in
those of the farmer whose cause they
pretend to espouse.

Railroad Building.

The present year will witness revival
of railroad building east of the Missis-
sippi. During the last few years the
territory west of the great river has been
thu scene of the principal activity in this
line, while the addition of new mileage
in the Eastern and Middle states has been
Insignificant in comparison. But It
would seem that the rules are likely to
be reversed during the present season.
According TO table prepared by the Eu-
gineering News 503s miles of new road
are now in process OF construction, while
7o4l miles more are projected fer building

A Probability.

Negotiations have been pending in the
east for some time, and it begins to look
now as if they will be successfully
ended, looking to the construction of a
line of railroad which has Fort Worth as
an objective point. A portion of this
road has already been graded, and II
the present negotiations pan out, as it
is now expected they will, the result
will be the construction of one of the
most important lines of road in Texas.
There has been but little said of this
project. and but few people know what
is really going on in connection with it.
The matter is approaching head how
ever, and it will not be long until it will
be ripe enough to serve to the public on
a gilt-edged platter.

THE HE NO TEA HONG,
Where Visitor. Love to Liuger,

Where VISITORS Love to Linger,
"Don't you think it is time we started for
homer"
"Well, to tell you the truth, I want
another cup of that refreshing He No tea. "
This is a common expression nowadays at
the Exposition, and the tired and weary
find that after taking He No tea thev are
braced up for further exertion in the way of
sightseeing. 1t is unnecessary to state that
the ever-attractive Tea Hong is at the lower
end of the building, on main floor, for the
crowds quickly learned the location. It is
quite the thing for parties from the country
to bring their luncheons with them and go
to the He No Tea Hong for cups of the hot
beverage, which is being literally dispensed
to all corners. Ifyou happened to meet one
of these parties you would be surprised at
the cool manner in which chicken bones
and bits of bread are left about; and the odd
part Of it is, that no one objects. or makes
fuss; they only make all comfortable and
welcome, and man is employed whose sole
business it is to clear away debris and make
the place tidy for the next visitors.
At night the display is a brilliant, gor-
geous affair; indeed to many people, a very
startling one; lights flash and CLEAN at eyery
imaginable point; the fiery dragon is ap-
parently enveloped in flames, and wonder
full scene is presented. Let every one feel
at ease, you have the effect, with perfect
safety for nothing that would endanger life
or limb would be permitted in the building
by Manager johnson, whose motto seems to
be, perfect security for ALL" Therefore
enjoy it all to the uttermost, take in the
greatness of the display, learn more than
you ever dreamed of about Japan, profit by
the tea, which is dispensed as freely as water,
and come away with the realization that the
He No Tea Hong is an unqualified success.

PIANOS AND ORGANS.
z. G. Hays e. Co., Is Fifth Av.uue.

Patrons of this firm of young men have
always recognized the great energy and
"push which characterizes their conduct
OF business, but it was never more manifest
than in their fine exhibit, located this year
on the main floor. 1t is an instructive dis
play, and those who want to know about re-
liable pianos will take advantage of this
occasion. The large space is filled with the
Mathushek. SO popular on account OF its
wonderful durability; the Hazleton, valued
for its bell-like tone and splendid action,
and the newer make, the Lester piano,
which has made its way so rapidly into
public favor. Just here it may be men,
toned that Mr.. E. G.. Hays is Director in
the Lester Piano Company. For those who
prefer different style of music, there are
the Wilcox & White Symphony organs,
upon which most beautiful orchestral effects
are produced, and the self-playing organs,
for which you may have any combination
OF tunes. Prof. H. P. Ecker, of the firm,
has immediate charge of the exhibit.

Hopper Bros, 3O7 Wood Street.

A marvellous Transformation scene has
been enacted at this exhibit since the public
saw it last year. 1t is now one vast apart
ment, filled with furniture, both beautiful
and comfortable. Oriental colorings pre-
vail throughout, by which is meant the
building, as we'll as the Punishment. The
ceiling, which is divided into sections, is of
various hues blended, and was designed by
Mr.. Frank Hopper. 1t is diamoned. futed,
and plated with most artistic results. The
walls are panels of rich plush, alternating
with exquisitely draped windows; these lat
ter are at times diversified by recesses, from
which peep out a handsome mantel, or a
massive piece of sidewall furniture.
Grouped and singly about the space are
lounges, divan chairs and specimens of the
new style of covering the wood work with
plush, while strictly defining the outline
and conformation of the chair. Piano lamps,
easels upon which rest fine pictares, and
pedestals with statuettes give the requisite
air of grace and lightness. Administer car
pet in delicately blended tones. forms the
soft, agreeable floor covering, making at the
same time an admirable back ground for
the fine mounted fur, Smyrna and other
rugs. A suggestion is adroitly given as to
the novelties in the way of hall and dining
room styles, bv the introduction of a few of
the larger pieces at one end Of the display
Messrs. Hopper Bros. propose making
changes in their exhibit from time to time.

COUNCILS IN MEETING.

Both the Building md Trades Councils De.
eide to Boycott the ExpositIon-Routine
Work Performed by Both Bodies, Last
Evening.
The Building Trades Council last night
adopted resolution requesting the mem
bers of all organizations connected with the
council to boycott the Exposition during
the present season. A committee from the
Central Trades Council was present to ascer-
tain what action the Building Trades would
take. The Carpenters District Council, the
Painters District Council and the Slate and
Tile Workers have already asked their
members to boycott the Exposition.
A committee was appointed to present a
petition to the Councils of Allegheny ask
ing that none but union labor be employed
on the new water works. The committee re-
ported that the fight with A. Northrup &
Co., ceiling manufacturers on the Southside,
is still in progress. Delegates were ad-
mitted to the Council from Union 492,
Carpenters and Joiners and Union No. 10,
Painters and Decorators.
The Central Trades Council held its reru-
lar meeting in the hall at Al Fifth avenue,
last night, with very large attendance.
The committee appointed to see what the
Building Trades Council would do regard
ing the Exposition, reported that the Build
ing Trades had asked all members not to 90
to the Exposition this season. This
action the Central Trades Council
concurred in and passed a resolution in
structing the delegates to ask their local
unions not to patronize the big show. The
McGaw committee reported that owing to
the absence of several witnesses they would
have to ask for more time. 1t was granted.
The Journeymen Bakers Union reported
that boss baker named Faust, doing bust
ness on Lacock street, Allegheny, had dis
charged his union men. They credited him
with saying that he would do like Marvin
and run non-union shop"
The working woman question was brought
up and discussed at length, the Executive
Committee being finally directed to bring
in plan for the relief of the women toilers.
The delegate from the Journeymen Brew
ers' Union reported that Frauenheim &
Vilsack's Iron City Brewery had been
placed on the union list
Thomas McWilliams reported that he had
forwarded $50 Is to Dunbar, the contribu-
ton through the Central Trades Council for
the explosion victims. William T. Daven-
port, of Painters Assembly 1897, and
George Kern and Henry P. Hoag, of Green
Glass Workers Assembly Gill, were ad-
mitted as delegates.

A most striking object in this fine exhibit
Con river side of main foor), is the magnifi-
cent mantel and cabinet just imported from
France. Cabinet is scarcely the descriptive
word for the upper portion of the mantel,
IS it is too lofty and massive for the title, vet
it viii, convey some idea of the meaning.
The tiles, are remarkable and of great
beauty-two which surmount the fireplace,
representing sea views, the water dashing
against the rugged rocks. Tie most beauti-
full tile, however, is found in panel above
the mantel shelf, and is an accurate repyo-
duction of the favorite picture of the late
Emperor William In his private collection
at Babelsberg. The original, which has
world wide reputation, is known as "The
Page" and it is simply gem; the pose, the
exquisite coloring and the beautiful
face captivate one at once. This elegant
mantel is flanked on all sides OF the dis
play by choicest specimens of art pottery
gathered from all lands famous in this line.
and even then the most discriminating care
has been exercised in the selection. None
but rare and valuable examples of ceramic
art will be admitted to this collection, and
some of these, which soon will be placed In
position, were obtained with difficulty and
are seldom seen outside of the Celestial
Kingdom ITSELF so to have the opportunity
OF examining these curios is the one chance
in lifetime to thousands of visitors to the
Exposition.

Chairman dad done all in his power to carry
the strike to successful conclusion.
Chairman Kirk, of the Machinist's Com
mittee, was asked as to the amount of relief
distributed, and as to whether he had
promised the Westinghouse men support.
81 cannot say" he said, "what amount of
relief was distributed. We are only now
beginning to get in funds and are commenc-
ing to-day to pay married men Sc per week,
single men "a, and boys 50 each per week.
These funds are subscribed by different
unions affiliated with the Federation, and
assessed not by us, but by headquarters. We
did not induce the non-union employees to
strike. The strike was one of machinists, and
the other men thoughtit was good opportu-
nifty to get an increase. We did not hold out
inducements to them to strike, nor promises
of support if they did,"
