BOARD OF FINANCE.
The Pay Rolls Approved-Why No
 Quorum Was Present on Thursday

The Pay Rolls Approved-why No Quorum Was Present on Thursday Evening.
 The board of finance met last evening
 and approved the semi-monthly pay rolls of the various departments of the city. Ii now appears that several members of the board were unavoidably and e1cusably de. tered from attending the meeting of the
 board called for Thursday evening, and in
 consequencet the censure heaped upon them by some of the evening papers yesterday was wholly unmerited. Councilman Nc. Donald was unable to be present on ac. count of the severe storm which ragged on that evening. The councilman from the Tenth ward, than whom there has been in the past no member of the city govern ment more punctual in attending meetinge of the various boards and committees of which he is 8 member, has been for nearly two months confined to his house in conse. quence of an attack of the grip and its | attendant effects. During all this time he has been out of the house but two even- ings, and both these occasions were to at tend meetings in the city hall, and riding to the hall each time in a carriage secured at his own expense. Alderman Doody, another member of the board, was in Cheshire Thursday evening at the bedside of dying sister, and in consequence he was unable to be present, while Alderman Hitler was in Washington, and in conse- quence coC1d not be present.

STRIKE ON THE ELECTRIC ROAD

New Men Engaged-PromptA Action Pushing the Work-The Eoles UP for over a Mile. The new electric road in process of construction to Morris Cove shows that it is abreast of the times by strike yesterday morning. There are about 100 men engaged in the rapid building of the road. Of these twenty men are engaged in setting up the 2s-foot poles along which the cross wires are to be put. The wages of this gang are $15O day for diggers and s1.75 for pole-men. Twelve of the twenty men went out on strike yesterday morning, demanding that the wages of the whole gang be made uniformly at $1.75 per diem. Just as the demand was about to be acceded to the strikers refused to re- turn to work unless they should get $2 a day:
 The superintendent of construction, MT. Alexander Thompson, promptly denied them their demands and put other men in their places. In the afternoon the ex- strikers hung around and attempted to make a disturbance. MT. Thompson threatened to bring up the rest of the men and drive them away. They were fright ened by the decided stand taken by the superintendent and soon took French leave. MT. Thompson has since learned that the striking men lost jobs in the New England Telephone company and the West tern Union because of their unfortunate proc!ivity for striking.
 Under the direction of MT. Thompson the construction of the road is progress ing rapidly, and already 1000 feet o1 track have been laid and a mile and hall of poles have been set. The road will quite likely be opened by July 4.

Mo Cues story is to the effect that about week ago he started in to sell clocks ol commission for the firm. He met witt ill luck, and, driven by sheer necessity, h pawned two of the clocks and used tn |. money to keep himself from starving McCue tells a clear, straightforward story which has every appearance of trutl about it,

The committee on railroads and bridges met in the city hall last evening for the purpose of considering the petition of the Fair Haven and Westville Horse Railroad company for permission to extend it's tracks from Chapel street through Norton street and Derby avenue to the city line. It will be remembered that the court of common council voted to grant the peti- tion if the road would pave between it's tracks and for two feet outside with Bel gian blocks. This action was not, how ever, it is said, acceptable to the railroad company.
 At the hearing last evening Attorney George H. Watrous and President Hoadley B. Ives appeared ill behalf of the railroad company. Linus Mead, president of the Crystal Ice company, Court Stenographer F. H. Coggswell, and Julius Lederer, of the firm of Lederer & Wolf, appeared to op- pose the granting of the petition. In ex- ecutive session the committee voted to rec ommend the granting of the petition pro- vided the road would pave with Belgian blocks two feet on either side of the rails and also pave between the tracks.

OLD NAME But NEW THING

The starting of what is called tee-to-
tum in New York attracts the public atten-
ton to class of establishment which has
proved very beneficial abroad. The name
is hardly happy one, since by its old use
it suggests whirling and spinning at a high
rate of speed, while the real character of
the establishment is that of house of
resort, of the quiet and sober class, where
no intoXicants are to be had.
1t is noticeable that the origin of these
establishments was purely commercial.
The man who started them simply wished
to popularize certain brand of tea. He
organized tea clubs, therefore, which, in
addition to selling the tea, furnished whole
some food to the members at low rates,
and provided billiards and other entertain
ments. The tea clubs under the name Of
tee-to-tum proved so popular that they
multiplied rapidly and became social GEN.
tiers for the poorer people throughout
London.
In this country the enterprise is philan-
thropic. Some New Workers are trying it,
first confning it to the sale of cheap and
wholesome food. Eventually billiards,
coal clubs and savings funds will be added,
if the project turns out favorably. But it
remains to be seen whether the American
will take as kindly to the idea as the Lon
doner, and also whether the change from
the commercial to the semi-charitable
basis leaves it on as substantial footing.
There is certainly field for something
in the form of club which sells cheap and
wholesome food at low prices But if the
idea should prove to meet want in this
country, it ought to stand on its CONNER
cial merits. The man who is to enjoy the
benefits of such an establishment will
make the best use of them when he feels
that what he pays for he has bought with
out the Intervention of any charitable do
nation in the first instance.

LABOR IN LONDON.

The statement of the wages paid to the
laborers about the London docks, brought
out by Mr.. Henry Tuckley in the letter
published elsewhere, furnishes a striking
exhibit of the poorly paid common labor
of England 1t is to be remembered that
these are wages established in locality
where the demand for labor is constant
and imperative On the other hand, the
number of workmen is so large that
wages are brought down to the level
stated.
With due allowance for that fact, it is
startling to learn of weekly wages of about
So 80, while IS 90 per week is high
average for steadily employed workmen,
with s. 80 regarded as princely income
These rates of wages are all that thou
sands of workingmen in London can COM
mand for the support of their families. OF
course, workmen so paid cannot buy the
best articles of food or supplies. The
classes that they do buy are sold at higher
rates than the better paid workingmen Of
Pittsburg pay for the same grades with
the single exception of tea. The London
laborers get lower rents by living in gar
rets and renting part of their rooms to
others
Such an exhibit of the condition of labor
is enough to show that all grades of labor
are better paid, better housed and better
fed In this country than in England.
