STREET SPRINKLING.
Success of the Tri-City Electric Company's
Method.

The Tri-City Electric Sprinkler
company's car has now been running
sufficient length of time in Rock
Island to demonstrate its merit and
practicability, and the general public
satisfaction that is expressed over the
methods employed is evidence enough
that it is Just what the three cities
needed and that it should be en-
couraged in every way possible.
Some of the most apparent advan-
tages over the old plans are better
work, more frequent service, Sunday
sprinkling and cheaper rates. The
company should receive such encour-
agement from the city as will result
in the putting on of another car and
establishing additional wagon routes.
to the end that the lower end of the
city as well as Seventh avenue, Sew
enteenth and Nineteenth streets may
be sprinkled, while down town earn
sey AS well Spencer square should
have the advantage of the service.
1t is to be hoped the city will offer
such Inducements to the company as
NAV serve to increase the excellent
service now provided, rather than to
restrict it.
4 Novel Machine.
The car at present in use is at
tracing much attention from visitors
to the city. and the company is re-
ceiving great credit for Introducing
so novel and popular a machine in
the three cities in advance, it might
be said. of any other city in the
country. with the exception of Louis
Vile, which is the home of the in
vcntOr. The fact may also be men
toned of the great Improvement
over the old way of sprinkling with
wagon, the saving TO the wear Of
the streets as well as the much better
looking piece of machinery used for
the work than the old wagon.
The car is equipped with a West
in@housc, single reduction, 20-hOrse
power motor. and air brake attach

pany has already expended a large
amount of money in getting the
necessary equipment so that the three
cities might show to he in advance
of other cities this Columbian wear,
and some considerable risk was taken
in making the outlay as the company
was not certain that the thing would
be success. for fear that water
could not be taken on fast enough to
enable the sprinkling car to keep out
of the way of the passenger cars, but
the car can be filled with 1000 gal
Ions of water in less than two min

on the part of the men in charge of
it. viii delay the regular traffic of
the street railway lines, which the
sprinkler company guarantees not to
do.

AS TO THE

In these last few days Durham has had
| some business troubles which have caused
some people to become frightened. But
Durham is all right yet. The lesson of
these breaks, or Of the principal break,
will be, while expensive, worth money to
many.
Durham has done considerable specu-
lating There is no use to deny this, and
spectators sooner or later &C to the wall.
Upon top of the wild speculation, and a
great deal of it,, happened to come uni
versal hard times and consequent strin
gency in the money market, unparalleled
in the last quarter of century. Money
is scarce in the channels of trade through
out the whole country. The men who
have money and who are conservative are
more cautious than ever, and the bulk OF
our circulating medium is tied %. A
change of administration and the promise
and fear of a radical change Of the hnan-
cial policy Of the country has had much
to do with the present state Of affairs.
When the tariff is settled and manufac-
turers make arrangements to meet the
new order Of things, when values become
settled, as they will, all will be we'll again.
Of course the outlook is not
ging just now. But the thing to do is
to make the most of it. Cling to what you
are doing like a vicious bull dog would
cling to the roof Of your trouserloons.
Do not run. If worst comes to worst
let it come. Meet it manfully and cheer
fully. There is plenty Of hog and
hOminv in the country. If you get tired
of hog eat hOminy-vice versa and re
peat.
Things can get but little worse. They
will change-and the best tinanciers of
the country say the change will be for
the better.

PURGE THE PENSION ROLLS.
From Cleveland's Message.]

A fraudulent pensioner has become a
bad citizen every false oath in support
of a pension has made perjury more
common and false, and undeserving pen
sioners rob the people not only of their
money but of the patriotic sentiment
which the survivors of a war fought for
on the preservation of the union, ought
to inspire. Thousands of neighborhoods
have their well-known fraudulent pen.
]sioners, and recent developments by the
bureau establish appalling conspiracies
/ o accomplish pension frauds. By no
means the least wrong done is to brave
deserving pensioners, who certainly
ought not to be condemned to such asso-
citation.

TRAMP RIDDEN.

1t seems just now that the country is
tramp-ridden. The following dispatch
shows how the thing is THE publication
of the fact that Chicago is preparing to
feed and lodge the hungry and homeless
has caused a tide of ragged humanity to
set in from all over the country. Every
freight train, the police say, is heavy
laden with trampish looking men. 1t is
probable that CHIEF Brennan will in
struct details Of police to meet all incom
ing trains and turn back the wanderers
Those who refuse to go will, the police
say, be arrested"
And the tramp will be arrested. He
would rather be arrested than freeze.
And all this is because the great on
to make times better. 1t used to be the
cry that the government was just about
to take steps to suppress the rebellion.
That line filled every northern paper
for about four years. And now, with a
vast army of hungry and half naked peo-
pie tramping over the earth looking for
labor to earn bread, the congress and
the president wrangle about every little
thing which concerns no one.
1t is to be regretted that the statesmen
are all dead.

THE failure of the Durham Supply Co.,
the largest concern of the kind in the
city, was of course the direct result Of the
DUKE failure, as Mr. DUKE was the
largest stakeholder in the concern. 1t

be given, but it is said that the assets will
meet all liabilities. 1t was the hope of
the company to continue, but hard times,

BAD ENOUGH.

Durham has our sympathy in the blow
that has befallen her in the failure of Mr.,
B. l.. DUKE, who owned large and varied
interests there and who was one of the
most public-spirited citizens of the place.
A similar catastrophe was experienced a
few years ago in the failure of Mr.. W.
T. BLACKWELL and it appeared as if the
town had gotten on its feet again and
was making gratifying progress towards
prosperity. 1t is feared this failure will
prove equally as calamitous as the other,
as it is about as widespread in extent
and involves, perhaps, a larger loss in
dollars and cents.
While the "hreaks' are bad, those who
know, say that they will not prove as
calamitOuS as the BLACKWELL failure
They are bad enough, however, and We

Elect Street In London.

Fleet street has been one of the main
thoroughfares of London for many centu-
ries. The Fleet ditch, which ran into the
Thames, was a famous If not a savory
stream. The Fleet prison was long terror
to London apprentices. Nowadays Fleet
street, leading to Ludgate hill and St.
Paul's cathedral, is still the chief thorough
fare from the west to the city. Here the
great daily newspapers have their offices,
and on either side there are narrow alleys
and courts, where are still to be found what
were once the residences of the rich and the
noble, now used for the various purposes of
trade.
These old houses are vanishing, for they
are being pulled down to give place to more
commodious buildings. The city commits
sioners of sewers have condemned them as
unsafe, and their quaint gables and balco-
MES and overhanging windows will soon
have vanished.
It is said that the great fire of A D. 1865
was staid just before it reached these
houses, which even then were counted old.
It is almost certain that in A. D. 1910 Henry
Elsing had bakery at one of them under
the sign of 1.-THE Spread Eagle" and that
they were built in the earlier years of King
Henry VIII. Inside the oak staircases and
balustrades, the huge floor beams and the
wainscoting remain much as they were
three centuries ago.

All About Allspice.

The island of Jamaica produces about all
the allspice that is used. 1t is known also
as pimento or Jamaica pepper. The tree
on which the berries grow is evergreen, and
the flowers grow in dense clusters. These
develop into small green aromatic berries
the size of black pepper. If allowed to
ripen, they become pulpy and lose some OF
their pungency. For commercial purposes
the berries are gathered when green, care
fully dried in the sun, and afterward
packed in bags holding 1862 to 1870 pounds
and shipped. Pimento trees grow IN many
parts of tropical America, but nowhere do
they thrive as in Jamaica. The trees are
never planted by man and receive no cult
walton worthy of the name The seeds are
dropped by the birds, and the rains and
the tropical sun do the rest. Surplus trees
are cut down and become walking sticks
and umbrella handles This spice is more
mild and innocent than most other spices.
