4 POPULAR VICTORY.
Ohicago's Aldermen Fail to Pass
the Street Car Franchise Bill.
RECONSTRUCTED AND REFERRED.

1t Is Now Quite Evident That the
Friends of the Measure VIII Be I'm.
able to Secure Enough Votes to Pass
1t Over the Mayors Veto.
Chicago, Dec. 13.--The ordinance ex-
tending the franchises of the Chicago
street car companies for so years came
up In the city council last night and
was referred to the council committee
on railroads. On all votes touching the
ordinance the friends Of the measure
were in a strong minority, and unless
they can muster much greater strength.
there Is no probability that they will
ever be able to pass 1t over the veto
Of Mayor Harrison. ga
Contrary to general expectation, there
was little excitement around the city
hall, and although the council cham
Der was packed to suffocation and a
crowd filled the outside corridors the
number Of people present was but lit
tie larger than usual. The crowd was,
however, against the franchise propo-
sition to a man, and made no pretense
of keeping its convictions a secret. Ad-
herents of the franchise were openly
Kissed when they attempted to gain n
point for their measure. and loud wells
greeted the announcement Of the vote
by which the ordinance was referred.
Alderman McInerney made a speech
to a certain extent defying the, spirit
shown by the galleries, and from that
time to the adjournment he was the
object Of numerous remarks from the
outsiders, many Of them being warmly
personal The crowd, however, was
good natured. and there were no DEM
onstrations, The railroad committee,
which now has the ordinance in charge,
Ia composed of 10 members, II of whom
voted last night as friends Of fran,
chise extension.
Alderman Walsh was first In bringing
up the franchise question. He inter-
rppted the regular order of business
in the council with A. motion that the
vote of the last session committing the
franchise extension ordinance to the
ioint committees In streets and alleys
west. north and south, be reconsidered.
He was ruled out of order on the
ground that the rules had not been sus-
nenaed and the regular order Of busi-
ness should obtain.

rne ...N.t.rs OF tne Rasor.

II is matter of common experience
that razor left for awhile unused be-
comes blunt. = writer in Chambers
Journal says that ru>t caused by tho
moisture in the atmosphere is quite
enough to account for this. Shoarers,
for instance who have 60 use partic-
ularIy sharp instruments, never set
their shears till jzst before using What
is not so generally known is that ra
zOr which will not cut will become
sharper sometimes by being left aside
for some time. The only explanation of
this is that the electrical properties of
the metal III the edge become changed.
y "wire edge" is commonly pat on a
tool by amateurs. The steel turns and
folds back On itself 1t is owing to the
edge being made too long and thin, or
the metal being too soft. The only cure
for wire edge is to break off the bent
portion and grind and set again
"A knife that cuts butter when it is
hot" (aud under 10 other circumstances

and the reason of this is easily explain
ed. Heat expands metal, and in proper
ton to the amount of metal which ia
heated. There is moro metal in the
breadth of blade than i'll its thickness,
and the former, therefore, is expanded
immensely more than the latter. In 9TH
er words, the wedgelike shape is length
ened, and the tool becomes sharp"
