Mr.. sEARLs DENIES 1T.
He Says That wicked Capitalists" Never
Sold Him Out to the Consolidated.

New York, July IA, 1899.
Editor of The Spy: The article in The
Spy of Friday, headed Let SeaS1s Down -
etc, is SO far from the truth that I'M
doubtedly you will grant space in your
columns for it's rebuttal.
The stock certificate and transfer book
of the North End Street Railway com
pany furnishes the evidence that the
original stockholders, with the exception
OF owners of less than 100 shares of the
entire. capital Stock stood shoulder to
shoulder, with steadfast loyalty. until
the stock was sought for by the trus-
tees of the noble charitable institution
which you mention, when the great ma
Jority of the 100 shares was transferred
TO new owners.
Wicked capitalists had no chance to
sale himself
Rough Rider McGinty, as a broncho-
buster" or monopoly got there
TO the extent of riding into town on an
electric car, and it did not take long ia
emancipate car horses in Worcester.
That he did not get farther north than
Greendale is historically described in the
records of the towns of West Boylston
and Boylston, with reasons sufficient for
any sane business man.
That it ever was claimed by ANYBODY
that fares would be less than five cents
or that the Consolidated street railway
would speedily see its finish" is non
sense.
That the North End street railway was
leased to the Worcester Consolidated
street Railway company without the aid
Of him." is only an insinuation, and not
fact
Some people were accommodated with
longer rides and more extensive trans
portation facilities and assured a car ev-
cry Is minutes in each direction as often
as 1t was possible without additional
tracks, from the day the lessee took pos
session. Dividends euualing az ner cent
per annum from the date of the lease
Aug. l, 1895 have been paid to stock
holders. The two tracks in Summer
street will be used whenever the people
through their board of aldermen, NAV de-
sire It.
Does The Spy mean to tell the citizens
of Worcester that they were damaged
and deceived and are worse off toSs y
than before the North End street rail-
ways competition made it possible for
9, new system of street car traction in
the city? Respectfully,

COOLING THE AIR.
Boston Store Experimenting With Device
to Make Life Bearabe.

- 'uNS lilo OGdTdDle.
The Boston store management is ex-
perimenting with iced air as a means Of
cooling their store and making life
bearable for clerks, and customers as
Wei, during the hot season. A big re-
tr1gerator is located in the rear of the
building and the cold air propelled
through series of ventilators all over
the store While not perfected by any
means the system as in operation at
present has the effect of keeping the
atmosphere cool and fresh making a
noticeable difference in the tempera-
ture.
A. Swan Brown president Of the
company, is what might be termed a
crank on ventilation and fresh air and
IS determined that the clerks enpioyed
IN his store shall have the benefit OF
,thls, no matter what the cost. 1t has
peen suggested that in order to get the
pest results from this system and to
produce an appreciabe degree of cool
ness that 1t will be necessary to have
TIE outer doors closed in summer an
wen as in winter, unless an effort was
to cool the atmosphere OF
the entire city. Mr. Brown says he is
nor satisfied with the ARRANGEMENT as
yet Dut proposes to keep at work until
perfection. -

A FLOWER MISSION.
Young Ladies Active in Sending Good
Cheer to the Sick.

To the Editor of The Spy
It may not be generally known that
we have flower mission" in active
operation in the city. The young ladies
Of st. Marks Guild are meeting every
Saturday morning at the rooms of the
Associated Charities on Pearl street,
where they would be glad to receive
flowers for distribution at the hosDit-
ais and to sick and "shut-in" people
they viii esteem it favor if those hav-
ing MOVERS Of any description or pot
ted plants will leave them on SATURDAY
of each week at the place above named
on or before 10 a. m. This beautiful
charity deserves and will no doubt re-
ceiye due consideration when the at
tention of people is called to it, and
that is the purpose Of this notice.

Human life, it would seem, is more at

yellow fever where Gen. Leonard Wood
is waging his stalwart battle. Individ-
ual activity against the dread disease
which breeds in the waters OF the
Schuylkill river has not been wanting
and money has been expended literally
by private citizens to check it, but the
municipality has done little or nothing
In the corporate capacity to stop the
epidemic. That such a state of affairs
should exist in as intelligent a com
munity as Philadelphia is lnconceiv-
able, while the failure of her citizens
to express their indignation fttingly
for the corrupt political ring that can
permit such an outbreak of disease and
then sit down snpinely before Il and let
1t work it's will on the helpless inhabit-
ants, is significant sign of the change
which years have wrought In the tam

Contract Awarded for Provi-

CINE House.

City Auditor John B. Bowker has
prepared his monthly draft of expenses
for the month past, which is the larg-
est in the history of the city.
The total expense was 1925, 605.64,
which is more than a half million dol
lars in excess of the usual draft. This
excess is due largely, of course, to the
payment of $657 ,922.34 made in settle
ment of the water cases, although the
expenses of the school and sewer de-
partments are larger than usual, all of
which goes to swell the total of this
record breaking month. The draft fol-

PRESIDENT And The CABLE


Washington, Oct. 2.--President
Mckinley has determined to urge
again upon Congress the author
izstion Of a trans. Pacific cable,
and will be able to announce that
q naval survey shows that the
route selected is practicable. Sur
veys are being made by the collier
Nero, under the command of
Lieutenant Commander Hodges.
Because Of the complete soundings
taken in former years between
San Francisco and Hawaii, there
10 no necessity for further work
there, and Lieutenant Commander
Hodson has confined himself to
the waters west of Hawaii. Re-
ports received by Rear Admiral
r. B. Bradford, chief of the
Bureau of Equipments show that
the Nero fret proceeded directly
to the Midway Islands, sounding
on the way, zigzagged across the
line to determine the best points
to locate the proposed cable.
From Midway Islands the Nero
went to Guam. From Guam the
Nero steamed north to Manila,
then returned to Guam, and latter
went to Yokohama, where she is
now, preparing for the return
voyage. She will zigzsg across
the imaginary line drswn during
the voyage from Guam to Yoke
hama, make further souudings
from Guam to the Midway Islands
and again to Honolulu.
No adverse reports have been
received concerning the route from
Guam to Yokohama, and the
authorities are confident that nc
obstacles exist that can ,.revent
the laying of a cable from San
F, ancisco to Manila, touching
everywhere on American coil
The idea of running a branch
line from Guam to Yokohama
arises from the wishes OF the ad
ministration to make the cable q
commercial success, though il il
desired primarily for Government
use. The President appreciates
that Congress may decide it i'm
polite to have the cable constr ct
ed and maintained at the EXPENSE
of the United States, and, should
a private company be allowed tc
take up the enterprise, the Yoko-
hama line would be an importan,
consideration.
The work of laying a cable
among the Philippine islands has
been delayed by the misbap to the
cable ship Hooker. The vesseI
will be temporarily repaired al
Csvite and then sent to Hongkong
where che will rapidly be pat il
commission, as the military autho
rites desire the prompt establish
ment OF the line.
