That on Washington Avenue Soon
to Be Started. t
The street railway company is doing
its best to hurry up the work on the sew
eral electric lines. and, although it may
not look to the casual observer as if the
work was going OH as rapidly as 1T
might, still wonders have been accom-
plshed, and in short time some of the
lines will be in operation.
The Washington avenue cars, which
have not been run in months, are to be
put in operation as soon as the dynamos
are connected to furnish the motive
power. The finishing touches are being
arranged, and the company fully eX-
poets the entire line will be running by
the latter part of next week at the
latest. The same difficulty has been
experienced in receiving the power
house machinery as was the case with
the ordinary supplies, outside of the
rolling stock. and to prevent any further
delay contracts have been made with
the Brush Electric company to run the
200 horse power dynamo furnished by
the car corporation. An extra 200 horse
power dynamo is in position to the rear
of the power house for use on the FlrsG
avenue lire, as the regular plant CAN
not be received entirely for some time,
and under no circumstances before the
new tracks are finished. Work on the
old motor way is going on as rapidly as
could be expected,

MARY ANDERsON'S KITTEN.
1t Acted Like Any Other Cat, but
Gets More Credit.

0cIS more
Mary Anderson, says a writer in the
c ourier-Journal, has a pet cat which
exhibits remarkable evidences of the
truth of metempsychosis. There are
stranger things than are dreamed of in
our philosophy, and many domestic
animals seem to be endowed with
all the attributes which manifest
what we call ''souP' or i'm
mortality" Miss Mary's cat became a
mother one night, and every chit
and child died. leaving the mother cat
inconsolable. She would throw herself
OH the floor. drag herself along by the
fore feet. and moan and whine like a
human being. Finally the actress,
deeply impressed with such exhibitions
of heart-brokenneSs sent out and pro-
cured one little kitten, which she gave
to the feline Rachel. Her joy was in
describable. The old cat got into the
box with her adopted child, fondling 1t
and mewing for excess of joy. For
two weeks she would not leave the box
for fear she might lose her adopted kit
ten. Food was brought to her to keep
her alive.
Meantime Miss Anderson was taken
i'll and removed to the second floor.
After two or three days her pet went in
search of hef mistress, and, finding her.
sprang upon the bed, caressing her with
as much fondness as if she ha d been a
child. "Fm sick, pet" said Miss An
derson, land when you were sick and
distressed | gave you little kitten to
console you" No sooner were the
words spoken than down the stairs ran
the old cat. nd.sezing her foster-kitten
by the back of the neck, bore it to her
mistress, jumped up on the bed. and
tenderly placed it in her arms. The
truth OF this is vouched for. Who says
that animals have not souls?

ing OF any INTEREST.
The court house and city hall COM
mission met yesterday morning, but ac-
complished little, the principal reason
being tina the full commission was not
present. The gathering was a quiet
one, and in direct contrast to that held
but short time before. Mr.. De Laittre
did considerable talking, and favored
the erection of the house in sections,
finishing the county part first. This
could be done, he thought, in about
three years. and could be occupied by
both the city and county until the bal
ance was finished. Commissioner
Mareck objected to its being built in
sections, and wanted the whole build
ing finished up. He favored going
ahead with the next story and then
waiting to see what the legislature
would do.
1.-The legislature cannot permit us to
go ahead of the per cent limit said
Mr.. De Laittre. This was a poser, and
Commissioner Johnson took sides with
Mr.. De Laittre in favor of building
half of the building first.
Commissioner Swenson advocated
going forward with the whole building
and levying a special tax of one mill
for the erection of the court house.
This. he said, would give about $3.50, 900
year, and he did not think the people
would object to the tax at all. When
they got to talking about the kind of
to be stone selected John Swift jocularly
advocated building the city side of stone
and the county side of granite. THAT
will enable people to tellsthe city and
county agairs apart" The proposition
was received with laugh, and the
board adjourned to meet next Tues
day.

ST. PAUL COMMENT.

The way of the labor politician is
often athOrny one and beSet with diff
culties. The latest story is that of an
individual who has lately achieved
much prominence. In the space OF two
months he has organized union of his
craft, been elected president. a delegate
to the state federation, delegate to the
trade and labor assembly, delegate to
the Farmers Alliance convention, and
finally member of the state central
committee. After having titus proved
his sterling worth and integrity, he pro-
posed that his union form an independ-
ent club under his leadership. The
union has now large membership who
do their own thinking. They rose up
IN body, called their president
naughty names and utterly refused to
go into politics with HIM. He is utter
Iy discouraged with the perversity of
''these workingmen."

the Land Has to Say on a Subject
of Great Interest to Ladies.

Oh Grcat interest 10 LADIES'
One Of the most popular seminaries for
young ladies in America is the Rutgers Fe-
male college. located at No. 81 & Sc West
Fifty-ffth street, New York. Mrs. E. S. West,
the lady principal, has an army of friends
among the ladies whose mental and physical
interests she has SO carefully looked after.
In writing about the ladies under her charge,
she recently said:
in household of brain workers, such as
our college family, it is necessary to have not
only the most nutritious food, but the very

by friend to try 'Thepure Baking Powder,

Mrs West is only one of the many hundred
prominent ladies who have found The
pure" Baking Powder specially suited to
their taste and needs. Through its use many
women are producing lighter, sweeter and
whittier bread and cake than ever before. It's
popularity is the proof of its excellence. It
has the endorsement of the Wholesale Gro

principal cities; and although new powder,

MINNEAPOLIS COMMENT.

The widespread dissatisfaction among
street railway employees that caused the
strike in May, 1889, has evidently be-
come chronic instead of disappearing.
From authentic sources it is learned
that an increase of wages will be asked
soon by drivers and conductors. The
laborers employed by the company are
receiving S1.75 for ten hours work.
The drivers and conductors object to
working twelve or fourteen hours in or
der to earn the same amount. Taking
common unskilled labor as a basis, that
of conductors and drivers requires some
skill, and should be paid about ~ per
cent higher. At least that's the way
the latter figure it. At the time of the
strike the street car employees union
lapsed, and nearly all the old employees
of the company sought work elsewhere.
The few who still remain do not care to
try conclusions with the company again.
But the new men are trying to organ
ize, and say that if their pay is not
raised the company will have the pleas
ure of breaking in new force of driv-
erS and conductors during Exposition
and fair time. No strike is contem-
plated this time, but the men will seek
fresh fields and pastur eS new. where
higher wages and shorter hours pre-
vail.
The political situation grows more in
tereSting every day in labor circles. So
far as the state ticket is concerned there
is strong independent feeling and
good organization has been effected.
There is, however, wide difference of
opinion on local issues. The more con-
sentative element desires to put up no
independent legislative, county or city
ticket; but to select good. reliable men
from the old parties to represent it.
The radical ard hopeful faction want an
independent ticket from Alpha to
Omega, and they propose to have it.
| Both factions are quite sincere in their
views and are agreed IN supporting the
state ticket even if there should be some
difference of opinion in local matters.
Grand Secretary Samuel Keller, of the
Car Mems Mutual Aid association, is
corresponding with the officials of the
car inspectors and car repairerS' ma
tional associations to see if national
convention of the three bodies can be
held soon and such measures of cooper
alton adopted as will make all three
more effective.
Tomorrow is LABOR day, but it will
not be observed to any extent in Mime
apolis. Several unions will join those
OF st. Paul, but the majority will pay no
particular attention to the day.
