children of the tenement-houses and

from them the wild phrases of the Ten

little ones are clean, self-respecting,
eager for knowledge. They have been
taught to respect older people, to be
honest, to tell the truth. 1t is n rare

4 SVRE THING.

Who would have thought, three years
trict of Connecticut would ever be a
sure Republican district and that the
Republican nomination for congress-
man would be equivalent to an cleo
ton? Yet SO it is. Two years ago it
was found when the votes were count
ed that the Hon. N. D. Sperry wss
elected by a plurality which surprised
everybody, although Chairman Mac
donald Of the Republican town commit
tee of New Haven had predicted a Re-
publican plurality of at least 1900 for
New Haven. What Mr.. Sperry's plu-
rality in the district will be this time
doth not yet appear, but there is no
doubt that he will have an abundant
entrance into his second term He has
had an abundant entrance into his sec
ond nomination, the situation, as Mr.
Howarth APPLY remarked in his nomi-
mating speech, being relieved from all
embarrassment by the fact that there
was no other candidate A nomination
by exclamation and an election almost
by exclamation are all that any candi-
date for office could reasonably ask.
Mr.. Sperry has had one and he will
soon have the other.

UNDERGROUND ROADS.
Growing Popularity of Electric Trac-
ton at the British Capital.

Growing Popularity of Electric Trac-
ton at the British Capital.
Great activity is being shown in Lon
don at present in planning underground
street railways, and all Of the roads
under consideration are to be equipped
with electricity by reason Of the con-
spicuous success of the electric road
already in operation.
The railway referred to is the City
and South London, opened in 1890. Here
for the first time was tried that inven-
ton of Mr.. Greathead's, which, equally
with electric traction, has helped to
revolutinoize urban railway construc-
ton. This contrivance, fanliliarly
known to engineers as the Great
head Shield" is an airlock sys-
tenn of tunneling which enables work
to be executed expeditiously at any
depth in perfect safety, and to be con-
tinued unhindered quite irrespective of
whatever springs may be encountered
while boring. The railways now under
| construction will be tunneled IN this
manner at an average depth of sixty
feet beneath the pavements of London,
and no sign of their progress will be
visible to those who use the streets, ex-
| cepting only on the sites of proposed
stations where shops and houses are
being demolished.
| There are no fewer than six lines au-
| thorzed, two being at the present mo-
haH I'd
| Waterloo and City railway is the short
est of ALL and has but two stations,
one at Waterloo and the other at the
| Mansion house. This particular line
| is, perhaps, the most urgently needed
of all, and it is now rapidly approach
| ing completion.
| But public attention Is attracted just
now principally to the Central London
| railway, which will run from Shep-
| herds Bush to Liverpool street, a dis
| lance of six and half miles. Author
| lied the sessions of 1891 and 1888, its
construction has just been undertaken
| by the Electric Traction company, who
have let all the contracts and have al
ready begun pulling down the houses
that occupy the sites of the fourteen
stations along the route. Trains stop
ping at each station will be run at in
tervals of two minutes and half, and
will perform the journey from end to
| end, including. all stoppages, in thirty
five minutes. The cost of construction
and equipment, calculated at $500, 600
per mile, brings the total cost to ST.,
500 000
The rail level will not be less than
i eighty-five feet beneath the surface at
some points on this line, and five n.y.
draulic lifts will convey passengers to
and from the trains and subways will
be constructed for foot passengers to
cross from one side of the road to the
other. The company expects to carry
between 100000 and 60,0o0,OOO of pas
sengers in the year, but the actual ca
pacity of the line is S5,000000. The
boring of the two tunnels, which will be
circular, lined with iron, and but elev-
feet six inches in diameter, will be pro-
ceeded with from each station simulta-
neously BY December, 1897, this work
will have been completed.
1t will serve to give some idea of the
magnitude Of these combined railway

The plans for the changes proposed in

of that historical structure, have been
approved, and the work of renovating

IT'S THE r1GHr or THE MASSES

1T rs THE FIGHT OF THE MASSES.
The Boy Orator has said some true
things, and nothing truer than that
this is the fight of the masses against
the classes. 1t is the fight of the mass
es who are industrious, thrifty and or
derby against the silver mine class and
the class that would disturb things so
that work and wages would be a great
deal scarcer than they have been. The
masses are wide-awake to their own
interests in this contest. There are A.
100000 depositors in the savings banks
of this country whose combined capital
is 1000, 100000. There are 100000 per-
sons, mostly wage earners, who are
shareholders in building and loan asso-
Citations. They have paid in dues on
their shares more than $500, 600, 900 in
sound money Of gold standard value.
most of which has been invested in
mortgages and deeds of trust on the
homes these same shareholders have
4
| been able to build by the aid of these
| beneflcent Institutions. There are more
than 100000 members of the frater-
nal and other beneficiary societies who
have contributed from their earnings
| many millions of dollars of gold value
| to provide for themselves and those de-
pendent upon them in case of sickness
or death. The obligations of these va
rious societies and associations to their
| members amount to about $500, 600, 900.
| There are about seven million wage
earners who are members of industrial
| insurance companies which carry $751;
| 900, 900 of insurance.
These members of the masses have
| in all a money interest of more than
eight billion one hundred million dol
| lars in this contest. They know a thing
or two, and the boundless faith of the
| Boy Orator in the sagacity and sound
ness of the masses will be amply justi-
fed when the votes are counted.

They tell great and cheering stories
about the moral effect of the kinder

be sure, those who tell these stories are
members of the Golden Gate kinder

may only indicate that they know
what they are talking about.
One of the members of the as
ISOLATION speaks enthusiastically of the
moral moulding of young minds in the
days before the arrival of the mini
mum public school age. Before the
kindergartens were established these
children pursued the education of the
street. The consequence was that at
six they went to school with a fund of
information of the worst description
and a vocabulary that would excite the
envy of the Barbary coast. The kim
dergartens have changed all this. The

ing, and she had no silk to exactly
match. "AhP' laughed she, sit shall
have stripes all over it, So she en-
broidered a lot of Them and in the end
you couldn't tell which was the stripe
that concealed the ladder. Then, being
q wise woman and finding that to en-
broider on the web of silken hose is
easy and the result effective she set to
embroidering all her silken hose. So
who can tell whether or not the one
with little red roses scattered over the
foot, instep and leg, was thus orna-
mented because of a tiny hole at the
crook of the ankle in front, where sh!
she scratched her ankle with the edge
of the other foot's high heel We all
know that trick and how ruinous it Is
to the beauty of silk stocking; well,
try rose-b bud embroidery as she did.
This trick besides serving to renew the
old, can be used advantageously in en-
bellishing the new. Having bought a
pair of silk stockings the expense is al
most met, for so little embroidering silk
is used that it hardly figures in the
cost, and q dainty task of fancy work
Is provided.

material that is very abundant among
the fall fashions. This was in beige

over silk lining hooking in the center

A similar frill edged the plain stock
collar and a bow of null was placed in
front. The back of the bodice was laid
in few pleats In the waist, and the
fitness in front was disposed in like

Task and a Gown for the House.
If you have already put in a lot of
time at embroidering table squares and
doilies you may want now to go in for
something newer. If so, try your hand
at embroidering your own silk stock
ings. The simplest design is just
stripes from toe to half way to the
knee, either running stitch or but
tonhole. Use, of course, silk that will
wash and hold it's color. The fashion
was probably started by some clever
woman whose best silk hose developed
