The Presidcnt's Home.

The Black Hills College people, not
content with erecting q magnificent
college building in Hot. Springs, are
now constructing a house for the Pres
ident. This building is located nearly
north Of the college on the brow Of the
hill and in a grove Of pines.
This structure will be forty-eight
feet long by th,rty-three wide, two sto-
Tries high. On the lever floor are four
rocms-a front and back parlcr library
and kitchen and dining room combined
besides pantry, closet and hall On the
upper floor r four rooms, four clos
cts and bath rooms.
Seven double windows besides a
number Of single full windows and a
number of smaller ones will furnish
hight to the various rooms.
Three gables, two porches and a bay
window relieve the monotony of the
side Of the structure toward the col.
lege. Another porch will be at the
front and from it a door opens into a
hall from which access can be had into
the front or back par!or, the library
and also into the chambers. Taken al
together this house will be one of the
largest and best arranged in the city
and will be a commodious and con
venient home for the college president

Eour Years Huryl Labor.

Yesterday morning, John N. Wood,
with the consent Of the states attorney,
withdrew his former plea Of "Not
guilty. and was allowed TO plead
Guilty Of manslaughter in the second
Degree" for winch offense he was SEN
fenced to hard labor in Sioux Falls
%penitcnl;ary for the term of four
years. Twice has this case been tried,
and each trial resulting in a hung
jury, the last jury standing nine for
conviction t.. three fort acquital. The
crime for which lie was charged was q
most henious one; that of killing John
Mcleod, an old man, who was MUIR
der in his own house in April, 1889,
and afterwards the house set OH fire
TO destroy the traces Of the crime.
Wood was arrested and has been con.
fined i'll Jail since, without the option
of bail.-Deadwood Pioneer.

4 Blanket Of Iron.

Isaac A. Webb and the Stokes BROTH
ers who came down Monday from the
iron district near Rockford bring the
most encouraging reports from this dis
coyery. The boys have located a tract
Of land as large as some eastern counties
and it seems certain that the whole
location is underlaid with bed of i,ema
tite from eight to twenty feet in thick
ness. Assays of this y show that it
contains from Sc to 70 per cent of iron,
free from phosphorus aud with but a
trace of sulphur. The r lays in a
blanket and the quality is uniform
throughout. AS this district is but one
and onc-half miles from the grade Of
the B. & NJ. extension it will be seen
that machinery and coke for the re-
duction Of the ore may be placed on the
ground at a comparatively slight ex-
pense. Limestone for fuxing is to he
had in abundance in close proximity to
the iron. If the ore body is what it
now appears to be, the Black Hills will
shortly take a position in the front
rank as s. producer Of the finest quality
Of Bessemer iron.-HM City News.

pany, are of the best quality and
more than sufficient to furnish all
the power that il ever likely to be needed.
Advantage has been taken Of the proximity OF
the river and an abundant water supply, and
the engines are Of the high and low pressure
compound condensing pattern. They have
combined energy of between 500 and 600 horse
power. This is, Of course, considerably In ex-
cess Of the ordinary demand, and large por-
ton will be kept in reserve for emergencies.
The power from them 10 transmitted directly
to the large wheels or drums around which the
cable runs and from which 1t gets its motion.
MAMMOTH CABLE.
The cable, it is needless to say, ID very i'm
portant factor in . road Of this kind and il
should Of course receive its due share Of at
teption. As yet the immense spool around
which it IL wrapped has not been removed from
the freight yard where it was dropped from
the cars upon its arrival In this city and il will
be no easy task to move il to the power house
The whole cable, seven miles long, is wrapped
upon the one reel. This skein OF WIRE is about
eight or ten feet high and weighs in the neigh
borhood Of $4,000 pounds. The cable is an
inch and q half in diameter and is made of the
best quality Of steel wire. There are six large
strands, with nineteen wires to the strand

Neasy to tell how soon the road will be ac-
Otually working. with the old horse car
service discarded and the more modern system

some time in March the new systemwill be in use,
however. And perhaps, on the WHOLE it is as well
that the officials in control have not been in
too much haste. As result of their care and
the wise expenditure of a large sum Of money
Washington will be supplied with what Is
already conceded TO be well an equipped
cable road az can be found anywhere. One
reason Of this perhaps is the fact that it is the
last one built, for every road so far constructed
has been able to profit by the experiences Of
preceding roads, to adopt the best features of
each and to substitute some improvement
for whatever was considered unsatisfactory
When the first train starts out from the power
house on its trip up It'll street and back it will
be drawn along by cable that is worked by
the finest machinery that can possibly be put in
for the purpose.
A CABLE CAR.

Is to a certain extent matter of chance. With
ordinary usage in this climate it should
last at least year, but there have been
cases of cable wearing out in a
month, and it may be easily cut by a
careless gripman neglecting to release the
grip when the car enters the house and when
the cable falls below the ordinary level in order
to get back into the power house. This is
cident that is carefully guarded against and is
not expecte d to occur.
SPLICING THE CABLE.
In case an accident does occur the cable can
be quickly clamped up in an arrangement
along the side of the power house. where it
enters, and expert splicers get to work at once
upon it. 1t only takes between one and two
hours to make an emergency splice and about
four hours to splice new rope. The putting in
place of the first cable is rather a difficult
dertaking. The reel is placed in the power
house and the rope inserted into the slit. Then
horses are attached to the end of it and the
cable Is dragged along its course through the
city around the big wheel at the other end,
more horses being applied as the distance be-
comes greater, and SO on back to the power
house, where the whole thing is made taut and
the two ends are carefully spliced. To put in
a new rope is not so much of an undertaking.
The end of the new one Is attached to the end
of the old one, the machinery started
and the old rope ends its work by
putting its successor in place. The
cable in its journey around the tracks
moves over wheels in an arched excavation,
which is strengthened by heavy iron yokes be-
tween four and five feet apart. The grooved
wheels over which the cable runs are placed at
a distance of 80 feet from each other and are of
cast iron with steel bearings, all lateral motion
being taken up by blocks of maple wood, which
render them noiseless. In taking hold of
the cable the grip does not pick it up
when the car is ready to start and
let it drop entirely when it stops, but the cable
runs through the grip at all times, and gripping
Is simply Tightening Of the grip upon the
cable sufficient to give its motion to the car.
After the car passes, the cable. which has been
lifted out of the grooves on the wheels, falls
back again into place and runs along regularly
until the next car comes along.
THE DRUMS AND CABLE
In examining the various wheels that keep an
endless cable in motion it is not an easy matter
to decide just where to:begin, but perhaps it is
as we'll to do as The STAR reporter did and
follow the cable from the point where it leaves

been easily put in had it been thought desirable
As 10 Is, all cars on their return will be taken
around the building and let in at the back
The cable, however, does not run around the
building and q number OF horses must still be
kept on hand for the purpose of hauling the
cars up the slope along the side Of the building
TO the rear entrance. After they enter the
rear door the cars will be let loose and be car
ried down into position by force of gravity. At
the foot OF these parallel tracks there is no ar
rangement of switches for the cars to be car
ried across to the main track by which they
viii make their exit. A simpler and more
practical method has been adopted. AT the
lower end of these rows of tracks
and at right angles to them broader track has
been built foot or two lower than these On
this moves a Hat, heavy carriage. The cars are
run dlractly onto this and then they can be
moved backwards and forwards and be yerv

In the other half of the building are located
all the Offices, the tool room, coal storage room,
the boiler room. engine rooms and all the vast
machinery used to keep the cable in motion.
Rising up out of the top Of the building, Ito feet

Editor Charles Emory Smith, President
Harris on's minister to Russia, inspires his
paper, the Philadelphia Press, to caution
the American people not to believe too i'm
plicitly the reports of the atrocities of the
Russian government. The Press says:
ave must sympathize with the hope of
an amendment, but let us not be too sure
that we are in position TO hurl reproaches.
When Mr.. Gladstone was asked to condemn
the wrongs in Siberia he answered in SUBJ
stance Yes, share the general feeling,
but when | remember Ireland | hesitate to
invite the retort that we should cast the
beam out of our own eye Is our house so
free from glass that we can wisely enter
upon lawess crusade of throwing stones?
Ii is but little over fifty years since DE
Tocquevile wrote that the prisons of Amer
lea were the worst in the world"
Maybe Mr.. Smith remembers that the
United States Of America are dominated by
a political party as regardless of popular
rights and popular liberty as the Gar HIM
self, and whose controlling motive, like that
of the Russian despotism, in every official act
is to perpetuate its ascendancy and increase
its power Possibly he sometimes thinks OF
the South under carpet-bag rule not many
years ago; of tie Rules by which the pres
ent House of Representatives is placed un-
der the absolute control Of two or three
men, and its representative character de-
stroyed of the Force bill, designed to de-
prive the people Of this country Of the right
to elect their delegates to the Federal legis-
lature. All this and much more Of the
same sort may cause Minister Smith to bc
lenient in his judgment Of the Cars ad-
ministration.
