the act approved April 80. 1890. required
the lexington road to cease to use the
overhead trolley within the city limits
July l. 1893, thus giving that road three
years and two months In which to provide
some other means of rapid transit on its
New York avenue branch. Not a stroke
was done to this end and at the eleventh
hour the company went to Congress and
besought an extension Of the time, plead
ing poverty and other excuses. and Feb
ruary Ii. 1873, the trolley period was
heightened to July 1. 1895, giving the road
two years additional or twenty-eight and
one-half months from the date of the law.
As this period approached an end, or in
the winter of 1895. the company again
made its poverty plea to Congress- seeking
further extension, but this time the plea
was ignored. and no legislation was
granted. The poles and wires within the
city were removed only after a bitter fight
between the Commissioners and the COM
pany officials. Subsequent appeals for legis-
lation and acts of administration by the
companies have followed the same course
Of representation and defiance of the law.
The act of June TO- 1886, was totally
ignored and its amendment of February 3
Las been complied with only in part and
that part most begrudgingly.
Thus 1t Is in order to suspect that next
w-hter-no work having been done mean
while toward a compliance with the stat
utes-these companies will go before Con-
gress with long recital of grievances and
woes. pleading poverty again, narrating the
insistence Of the public and the authorities
for decent system Of rapid transit, and
asking for more time, say a year. This
plea will be so timed that there will prac-
tfcally be no opportunity left for the roads
to comply with the law requiring an I'M
foreground equipment even If the utmost
enterprise were shown. Previous appeals
have beer thus managed and it Is to be ex-
pected that this one will follow the same
line of supposed diplomacy.
But If Congress should decide to remain
true to Its no-trolley principles and should
decline to grant any further privileges 20
these already greatly favored corporations
the penalties provided by the act of Febru-
airy 3 last will remain. They cannot be en-
forced, however, until after the expiration
OF the year granted. on July 1, 1898. 1t will
rest with the Commissioners to collect the
fires In court and Judging from all previous
records the necessary steps will be taken
from time to time as the penalties accrue
with faithful regularity that will soon
convince the companies that 1t is cheaper
In the end to meet the public needs and the
laws requirement than to sulk and seek
in possible things

sturgeon which one of them had to
straddIc and ride ashore. not being
able to land him in. any other way.
He was discovered to be over six
feet in length and weighed SS pounds
but we are not advised whether his
captors will utilize him in the spring

light rides on the river after he has
been thoroughly broken to the saddle.

The following yarn. which is un-

eXChngeA
"Ole Peterson had fshed for years
in Green Bay. and discovered long
ago favorite spot whore he in
variably met with success. Ii has
been Ole's custom to take along
with him on his fishing trips little
brown Jug containing such refresh
mnnt as ii 5harmcn are believed TO be
somewhat partial to. Years ago
Ole had the misfortune to drop his
Jug overheard and of course it at
once sank to the bottom. Last week

on up his quarters in the jug when
quite small and finally grew to such
size that he was unable to escape

GEN. ALGEIs'S BELIEF.
Some Reasons Why Times Are
Still Hard.

New York, Nay 1S.-The World
prints "a series of interviews with
cabinet officers upon Wanamaker S
recent pessimistic speech regarding
the present political conditions. Gen.
Alger said Wanamaker remarks
were ill-timed and inappropriate,
Referring to the pending tariff bill
and the general subject of business
depression, the secretary said;
In my opinion the hard times are
largely due to the universal practice
of Il more rigid economy than has
heretofore prevailed. People became
apprehenSiye that financial and bust
ness troubles would grow worse. and
as consequence reduced in every
way their daily expenditures. Even
the rich adopted this habit. and justi-
fled their economy on the ground
that they might be reduced to want.
The poor redoubled their efforts TO
live within their means.
The result has been marvellous.
1t Is tying up enormous sums of
money and every branch of business
has been affected by this epidemic of
economy.
Turning to his library table, Spcre-
tary \ ger took Il piece of paper. and
with a pencil began some interest
ing computations, These facts
seem almost incredible, he con
tinued. There are, say, $1,000, 900
wage-earners in the United States.
Suppose that each has increased his
economy TO the extent of 10 cents
day. That means boarding OF S4J0,-
600, 900 in one year. Extend the
same proposition TO families. There
are about 10. 900, Geo families of seven
members each Every family has
probably reduced its daily expendi-
lures by about 20 cents. This in
dicates an absorption in q year OF
$3.50. coo. 900. From these two
sources of economy alone there has
been saved as the result OF economy

USE FOR WASTE LUMBER.
Several Mills to Manufacture Bar
rel Slaves for Saginaw Parties.

The following is taken from The
Menominee Evening Leader o.
recent date:
"Mr. f. ID. Eastman,a well known
lumberman of Saginaw, is in the
city on very important business. Mr..
Eastman represents the United Salt
! Co., of Cleveland, Ohio, and he is
consulting the mill owners. This
salt company is one of the largest
in the United States with Frank
Rockefeller as vice president.
This company have use for 20,
600, 900 barrel slaves OF all kinds and
sizes a year in their business. Mr..
! Eastman comes TO contract with
some OF the mills in regard to plac-
ing the requisite machinery into their
plants to manufacture slaves for
, them.
The plan is to use lath and other
wood which in many circumstances
would be consigned to the burner.
and work it into barrel slaves. Mr..
Eastman was in the city some time
ago and he succeeded in getting the
Marinette Lumber Co and the Il. w.
Merryman Co. to put in this ma
chinery. They have found that it
works admirably and that refuse
can be utilized into barrel slaves at
such Slight expense that it is
really a lucrative business.
Mr.. Eastman was seen by re-
porter and he spoke in regard to
his business as follows We need
20, 630. 900 barrel slaves and we come
10 this market for their manufacture
1t is an entirely new thing to lum-
bermen and it has TO be thoroughly
explained TO them. We only ask
that they put in the machinery and
manufacture the slaves and we will
give them market for the product.
We make contracts for two or three
years. | have talked with nearly all
OF the mill owners in your city and
| think several of them will put in
this machinery and manufacture the
product. We desire to have three
or four mills to contract for it, and
will want five or six million slaves
manufactured at this point. / have
consulted with the officers of the
X. c. Co.. L. w & V. S. Co., Bay
Shore Lumber Co, Fl. Witbcck Co.
Sroiield & Arnold Co., aud will have
seen all parties before | leave, but
am assured that three or four Of your
city mills will manufacture the
product.
Mr.. Eastman explains that it
costs about 800 to put in the ma
chinery giving daily capacity of
Il, 900 to 10000. The lumbermcn
have SO far taken heartily to this
new development of their waste pro-
duct and contracts have been closed. "
