company bonds would be given
that it would have the appliances for
lighting the lamps within twenty days
after the signing of the contract. In
spirit Of fairness the council should not,
at this time. insist on any such pro-
vision. 1t had never been demanded
before, and, under the circumstances,
ought not to be pressed at this time.
Aid. Cullen thought it would be unfair
to place penalty on the company of
this kind. Mr.. Seeger had the lighting
of the lamps up to the first day
of January. and the new COM
tractor would have to replace all the
attachments and burners on the lamps
within twelve hours after Seeger had
removed his attachments. 1t might be
possible to do this, but if it were impos-
sible to have the work done in the time
mentioned he was not in favor of max
ing a penalty for the first day. Mr..
Seeger said he would have all the at
tachments which he owned removed
from the lamps by daylight on the
morning of Jan. /, and he would throw
no obstacle in the way OF the new con-
tractors. Jacob Hebron, manager Of
the Acme company. in reply. said that
the burners and attachments to the
lamps would be replaced by his COM
pany as fast as they were removed by
Seeger. On the roll call the ten mem
bers present voted to concur in the
action of the assembly and award the
contract to the Acme company. A reso-
luton directing the city attorney to
draw up the contract in accordance
! with the bid of the firm was also passed
by unanimous vote.

Much credit is due the building in
spector and his department for the
timely suggestion, which cannot be car
ried out too quickly when we consider
the dreadful calamity in Wisconsin,
where several school children lost their
lives
1t is well that the attention of the
school board is called to this danger
which is now hanging over the lives of
the little ones. L think it is quite time
that the Interested public should take
the matter in hand and urge upon the
school inspectors the necessity of pro-
vldlng the proper fire escapes without
delay OH all school buildings now In use
before adding more of these dangerous
buildings TO the community. | believe
that all schools, public. private or Sec
tartan, should be compelled to provide
the proper fire escapes at places desig-
mated by the building inspector.
There can be no valid excuse, al
though there has been considerable
strlngency in the money market. These
hre escapes, have noticed, have bean
put In very generally by tine larger
business houses and factories during
the past summer, proving that the pri-
vate owners see the absolute necessity
OF the same. There appears to have
been quite an improvement in the man
ufactuIe of the stairways. They look
far superior to the ancient cat ladder,
which now, as the building inspector
says, adorn very few of our school
buildings.
| trust this may reach the heads of
other families, who are better able to
express their opinions in more forciDle
terms, and arouse some movement on
the part of those responsible for the
proper condition of our schools.

patrenized by many other heavy
shoe dealers in San Francisco and other
California cities. We have large trade.
in Portland. Seattle, Tacoma and Spo-
kane. We also receive large orders
from New Orleans, and are informed
by dealers in that city that
they greatly prefer our goods to
those made in Chicago. We have
several good customers in Cincinnati
and in Buffalo. and we also have five
customers in Chicago who take large
orders. Several cities in Texas patron
ize us. The wholesalers of st. Paul and
Minneapolis handle our goods almost
exclusively.
"But want to tel you the manufact-
ure of these goods is not the only big
thing we are doing here. We make
cripples' shoes, fancy boots for theatre
cal troupes, in both of which lines we
have built up large trade; and we
have very heavy patronage for high
grades of shoes made to order. These
shoes range from $40 to $40 pair. We
have men who do nothing but
make lasts for special customers.
These workmen are SO expert
in their business that the lasts are
perfect models of the feet the shoes
made on them are intended for. We
have hundreds of these lasts, and
hundreds of the people they were made
for live in other states, many of them
as far away as Texas. When these
people want new shoes they send to us,
and we make them on their lasts.
Our stage boots have wide reputa-
tion. We make all used by the Wilbur
Opera company. The beautiful opera
booots used by Susie Kerwin in her
hunting scene were made by us. Re-
Gently she sent an order to US from
New York for four pairs of fancy boots
reaching nearly to the hips. When they
were done each boot weighed
only four ounces. She paid US
S24 pair for them. Afterward
she wrote US that she could get nothing
10 compare with them in New York,
and that about every actress in the city
had seen and admired them. We re-
ceive orders far and wide from the
doctors for cripple shoes to be made on
measurements, and many of these ply
slcians have written US our goods were
better, both as to fit and quality, than
any they ever got elsewhere"

OVER CATER FACTORY
A BIG INDUSTRY IN ST. PAUL BUT
LITTLE KNOWN
VISIT OF \ GLOBE REPORTER
Reveals the Fact That the Lover
ing shoe Company Have
Great Mandatory Their
Goods in Demand All Over the
Country-Orders From New
York to San Francisco.

A great deal has been said about the
many new factories which have been
founded in st. Paul during the vast two
or three years. and 1t is singular that in
all the anxiety of the people to note and
encourage every industry, an industry
of large Importance started up by the
Lowering Shoe company two years ago
should have been almost entirely over
looked; but such it has been.
Two years ago this company engaged
In the manufacture of ladies', mems
and children's overgaiters and leggings,
and now enjoy the distinction of oper-
ating the only factory of the kind west
of Chicago. 1t has proved winning
venture for the company. the goods
finding ready market all the way to
the Pacific coast; also all over Wiscon-
sin. even in Chicago. and as far East as
Cincinnati and Buffalo.
The daily output of the factory is 800
pairs of leggings and overgaiters. The
goods are made principally of beaver.
felt and leather. The goods are made
for wholesalers and travelling men upon
standard measurements. The Lowering
Shoe company has large patronage for
special measurements, not only in st.
Paul, but throughout the Northwest.
The factory is over the capacious shoe
store on WaDasha street of the COM
pany. 1t is divided into several rooms.
The operating .force is thirty-five
women, and good force of men. Zone
force is kept constantly at work cutting
the goods. and another force operates
the machines which turn the patterns
into manufactured product. In addition
to these, one person is kept at work
taking measurements of ankles and
legs. The factory is busy bee live.
and the hum of long row of mammoth
sewing machines, all operated by cleo
trio power, is almost deafening. Besides
the sewing machines, several other
kinds of machinery keep up racket"
When the firm established the factory
it did SO with some doubts as to the
outcome, and the marvellous trade ithas
built up is a happy surprise. Mr.. Low
ering said Of the matter yesterday: ,
"Of coursk, we felt that since there
was no factory of the kind this side of
Chicago there ought to be an opening
| for one mere. But we naturally real
/ lied the difficulties which must be eil-
| countered in establishing an entirely
new enterprise, and felt somewhat
! timid. Chicago had old factories with
long-established trades all over the
| the West and East. Our success is a
surprise to US. The travelling men of
all Eastern shoe houses who cover
Western points make large sales of our
goods all the way to the Pacific
coast. We have an immense trade
in San Francisco. Recently the head
of the heaviest shoe firm in San Fran
cisco came TO st. Paul to inspect our
/ factory. He said that our goods give
better satisfaction in San francisco
than any other ever handled there. He
gave us large order, and tried to Sc
cure the exclusive agency for Cali
fornia. This we could not give

This was owing to the handing out of
