Cable Cars on Broadway.


THE cable railway on such street as Broad
way will probably greatly aggravate the
evils incidental to our general street system
There is no comparison between the conditions
of Broadway and the conditions of streets OF
other cities where the cable railway is in oper-
alton. In Chicago there are miles OF good par
allel streets as good as Broadway. Here the
latter constitutes the lone. gratfe-like throat of
the metropolis, and its unobstructed use every
hour in the business day is actually necessary
for properly SWALLOWING and feeding the COM
mercial digestive apparatus. Anybody who is
familiar with the choked condition of all of the
more or less narrow and crooked streets to the
right and left of Broadway during business
hours will understand this 1t Is not proposed
to clear Broadway of its business functions to
accommodate cable car travel. The cable cars
will have to grapple with the loaded truck and
delivery wagon and the crowded crossings Just
as the present horse cars do now. The
street conditions will be exactly the same so
far as speed is concerned. But the present
numerous accidents affecting life and limb
will probably be doubled not unlikely quad
rupled, by the cable system on Broadway.

The Newspaper Artists.
THE pictorial era Of journalism brings o GER
tain artistic talent to the front that, but for
the new order or things. would possibly have
never been developed. The demand for pic
lures creates artists. At every public gather
ing in New York you can see swarm of artists
regular memD ers OF the city staff of the daily
and weekly press, engaged in catching sketches
of the prominent men and interesting scenes
They go everywhere and cover every conceiv-
BILE matter worth illustration. 1t may be a con-
yentlon in the morning, street parade the
latest arrival at the morgue, a swell Wedding a
murderer in his cell, a court loom scene, or all
of these in the afternoon. For the pencil of
the newspaper artist is an exceedingly ready
and versatile one and can travel over good
deal of white paper in day.
The material thus gathered is turned into the
artistic department. now the necessary adjunct
of the modern newspaper, and is there trans
ferred in an almost incredible space of time to
the reproductive surface. Some of these
Young fellows are SO accurate and skillful that
they can get a very correct likeness of plat
form orator in a minute or two though the
office process and rapid printing on poor
quality of paper often utterly destroy both the
likeness and the artistic merits of the work.

'THE OLD HOMESTEAD. This
wonderfully successful play of purely
American character, of which so
much has been said and written re-
Gently, proves the refreshing fact
that the public taste for frivolous
nonsense has been satisfied, and the
demand is for something meritori-
Gus. 1t contains too much human
nature, kindly, pathetic, humorous
and simple to call it play. Plain,
homely Joshua Whitcomb, the New
England farmer, who has been for a
long time one of the most real Iowa
BILE creatures to almost the entire
country in his faithful devotion to
IN erriug son, whom he saves from
destruction, breaches by his actions
the most powerful sermon ever
heard. 1t is replete with quaint
types and loaded down with honest
character. 1t is one unstinted praise
from the clergy. They indorse it as
simple and pure, with moral as
well as an amusing purpose.
Prominent clergymen Of the East

which a husband can take his wife,

A FIRE SCARE.-EXcited crowds
rushed out in answer to the call of the
fire bell at 8 o'clock last evening and
followed the course of the flying fire
companies to the big brick known
as the Agricultural Works on the
corner of High aud Trade streets,
where large and important indus
tries are carried on, embracing the
electric light plant, the Churchill
Sash and Door factory, and planning
mills. IL appears that a spark had
dropped through the spark arrester
to the upper floor of thedrying kiln,
burned through this and communl-
Gated TO the dry material therein.
But the danger was past when the
engines arrived. Since the fire of
June 1888, when the same building
was consumed, several hydrants and
a supply of hose have been put in,
and by tearing up portion of the
floor stream was thrown ON the
blaze which was extinguished with
out having done much damage, the
loss being covered by insurance in
the State of this city. The spark
which fell went through a hole that
had been punched in the spark ar
roster, which otherwise is perfectly
safe.

TRACTION ENGINES.-There Is q
good deal OF complaint made to
JOURNAL reporters this year again
about steam traction engines going
through the streets of the city,
soaring horses and endangCring
thereby human life. One gentleman
says he was met rot long ago in
the covered bridge by one of those
engines, and that upon his approach
the whsle was blown, which so
frightened the animal ne was
driving that he wheeled around in
a twink ing and shot away in the
opposite direction, coming ve.y
near to upsettlng the rig and throw
ing the occupant out. II Is su3-
gested by some .hat an ordinance
should be passed by the council re-
quiring that in passing through
certain portions of the city, those
engines should be moved by horse
power, TO insure against probable
disaster some day. The committee
on health and police or that on
streets and public property should
give the matter attention and deter
mine whether there is any reason to
apprehend DANCER from the cluse
complained of.

!
Their value is simply marvellous,
and the best of it Is there is lots like
it in the mines. Some small speci-
mems are solid with the metal, fully
half being gold, and in the larger
pieces the pure stuff can be seen free
in all parts. Nothing ever produced
from the richest mines in the world
can surpass these specimens, There
is no question at all that that coun-
try is full of this ore, and as soon as
the new quartz mill is made and
put In the field, there will be some
practical demonstration on the sub
ject. The Herald speaking of 1t,
says: 1t came from the Bonanza
mine, on which force Of men are
now at work. 1t is free gold ore and
the semi decomposed quartz is
thickly mixed with fine wire gold.
Some specimens assayed the fabu-
Ious sum of $26,OOO per ton. Mr..
Halverson stated that they had
enough ore in sight to run 4OI

AN EDITOR INJURED.-Col Frank
J. Parker, Of the Walla Walla States
mar, owns a farm near Yaduina

pleasure every year, and a recent
mishap of his is thus chron-
icled by the Corvallis Gazette:
"F. j. Parker, editor of the WaIla
Walla Statesman, met with Il serious
accident last Saturday. He bad
mounted one of his ponies prepara.
tory to going to Elk City from his

to meet his wife who was to arrive
from Walla Walla on that day. The
pony became unmanageable and
reared back, falling upon Mr.. Parker,

deep into his groin and making a
painful and serious wound"
