MELVILLE, Pa, o 1S.-A1though
only sixteen years old. Samuel A. Hefie-
nnger has committed suicide because OF
the hckleness OF woman, the woman he
loved.
He did not come home last night, and
early this morning his father went
searching for him. In an open field near
the house he found the body of his son,
the breast torn by a fearful wound. The
boy had fastened a shotgun to a wire
fence. stood within a few feet OF the
IhuEZle. and pulled the trigger with a
biece of wire. His hat lay near the
body, and there was a note pinned to 1t.
Last MessnEe Was to Her.
The father picked It VI and read this
message scrawled In a boylsh hand:

passed through all his trouble here on
earth, is dead now and gone before. Let
Mary Harvey read this. Think Of me.
Mary. 1t is all through you. God bless
YOU. Remember me when you eat my
turkey on THANKSGIVING"
To the father who held the scrap of
paper in his shaking hand, the foolish
little sentence at the end seemed the
most pathetic of all. His boy was SIX
teen years old. Yet he killed himself
a. a despairing man might at sixty and
wrote his farewell like a child OF six.

Chicago's water tunnels are as fol-
lows: Ten-foot tunnel, 4.3 miles;
eight-foot tunnel, 9.S miles; seven-foot
tunnel, 11.s miles; six-foot tunnel, S.4
miles; five-foot tunnel, $50 miles. This
makes a total of almost 3S miles of
gigantic tunneling through which row
boats-yes, even small yachts could
be taken-that is when the water is
at the proper level in the pipes. In
fact, little race between row boats
could comfortably be held, Immediate
ly under State street, where the shop
pers congregate, or under LaSalle
street where the price of grain and the
values of securities are set.
From the tunnels the smaller pipes
lead into the streets and thence into

streams, three-quarters of an inch
thick to be drunk up by q million and a
half of inhabitants.

But to mention some others of these
deprived of the light of day. For one
there are the janitors in the big build
ings, the coal shovelers, the firemen and
all their retinues crawling in base
ments 20 feet below the surface, to
give light and air and heat to the
men above. These men see daylight
only on alternate Sundays-their holi-
days.
To go little further. there are the
factory hands in the big shops. The
development of the electric lighting
systems has made possible the build
ing of Factories on an entirely differ
ent plan of that in vogue 25 years ago,
SO that skylights are superfluous and
the entire solid space is utilized. The
great harvesting works, the machine
shops, the Irvine, clothing and shoe
factories of Chicago are all con-
structed on this plan. Only small
percentage of the men being privi-
legged to work at the windows, all the
others depend for sight on the huge
arc lights scattered through the fac
tories. Thus thousands and tens of
thousands spend their lives.
In the same way also the modern
skyscrapers send daylight only into
a fraction, perhaps one-ffth, of all the
Offices. There in labyrinth of offices
are desks and desks and desks; each
with its incadescent light, at which
many thousands spend their lives. 1t
is the same in the offices of the whole.
sale houses, in the recesses of the re-
tail stores, in the shops from one end
of the city to the other-night every
where, from sunrise to sunset, we live
amid night lit by twentieth century
electricity.
And the city-bred man, unaware OF
the treasure he is missing, rushes to
his shop, his office or his store, never
breathing the sun-purified air in which
his country cousin is growing morally
and physically strong.

LIVE UNDER GROUND
Huge Army Of Chicago Workers
Who Never See Daylight.
They Build Water Tunnels, Sewers
and Conduits and Come to the
Sunlit Streets Only on Rare
Occasions,
Especial Chicago letter.


IT'S wonderful sight-the life and
hustle on the streets of metropo-
lis. But more wonderful perhaps
is the life underground. There are
several thousands of men, and even
some hundreds of women, toiling day
after day, night after night, coming to
the sunlit streets only on special occa-
sions-as yillager may take trip
from time to time to the nearest city.
Underground Chicago has a popu-
lation varying according to the season
of the year and the number of tunnel
projects, municipal sewer plans and
railroad enterprises in process of con-
struction. At present this under
ground population is estimated at
8,oo0-quite fair-sized town-and if
the wives and children were included
we could fill city of no mean proper
tions. Chicago with it's sandy soil, it's
low level and other Typographical
drawbacks can boast by no means OF
as large underground population as
Boston which at one time, when the
subway was building and when some

working below the surface of the
streets almost 10000 men. In New
York, Detroit, Cincinnati and other
cities the residents walk above the
heads of many thousands more of un.
seen fellow creatures.
So taking Chicago as modest type
or average of a big city, we find that
there's world beneath world, rival.
ing perhaps the famous catacombs OF
Rome and the underground palaces OF
Alexandria. Chicago's bureau of pub
lie works estimates that some $6O,OOO,.
900 is invested in brick and stone, pipe
and electric wire under the seemingly
solid pavements. There are vast cham
bers heavily lined with brick and sewer
pipes through which a large coacl
could comfortably be moved.

ing down there, crying out orders, and
big machines are putting. Sometimes
laborers are killed by blast or sud-
denly discovered quicksand swallows
few. Sometimes even murder has
been committed in the dark recesses
directly below our feet; but we, stand
ing 30 feet above, never heard, never
suspected that human beings were
suffering down there.
The laborers generally live in the
vicinity of the points at which they
enter their underground workshops.
AT seven o'clock or earlier they begin
the descent. Then they ride on tram
cars, sometimes for miles, before they
reach the point at which the days
actual labor is begun. Great loads
of building material are transported
under ground, heavy machines are put
to service and the building of the tun-
mel proceeds at rapid rate. BY the
light of lamps or electricity the men
eat their lunches, and at the close
of the day, long after the sunlight is
gone, they return to see darkened
city.
In such construction work as that
of the water tunnel to the two-mile
crib men were sent below the surface
and remained there for days, in some
cases for weeks. More excluded from
the world at large than coal miners,
they saw only occasionally an inspec-
tor or party of engineers visiting
their dark, damp prison.
And after such tunnel is complet-
ed constant repairs are required. Men
must crawl back to these recesses with
their brick and mortar and their lad
ders, hundreds being thus employed.
Like those who build the subterranean
passages they rarely see the sunlight
more than a few minutes after break
fast.
Superstitions range among these
mole-like workers somewhat as they
do among the miners. For terrible
tragedies have happened in the dark
chambers, and the ghosts of the VIC
tins, the tunnel workers tell us, are
wandering about under our feet. They
never come to the surface, for they
were not accustomed to the daylight.
But down below the white shadows
fit along-nearly every tunnel work
er has seen them, right under the
heart of the city, and has feared them
more than the blasts and the quick
| sands themselves.

THE TILLMAN OUTBREAK.
Abuse of Republican Senator's by
the Brawling knight of the
Pitchfork,

The more the case of Senator Till
man is considered the less occasion
for charitable Judgment. He is al
ways abusive, forever making
charges and attacking the motives,
of other men. Even in the speech i'm
which he lately assailed McLaurin he
said to all the republican senator's:
POLITICALLY you are the most infa-
nous towards and hypocrites that
ever happened" That is not fit LAM
guage for the senate, and the won
is permitted to utter it about as
often as he speaks in the senate. In
his so-called apology he repeated in
less vehement language the same
sentiment. 1t is an apology and an
insult. If he fails to agree with
other senators they are more OF
less despicable'' and will be the OBJ
jects of his free abuse. In fact, he
is in the senate as a protest against
the educated and better element OF
his state. He came into public life
by making war upon such men in
the senate as Gems. Wade Hampton
and Butler. His domination in the af-
fairs of South Carolina meant the
overthrow of the better element. His
is a case of the survival of the I'M
fttest. 1t is far call from the
gallant and courteous Wade Hamp-
ton to the bullying and foul-mouthed
Tillman. 1t is sad to feel that the
people of South Carolina find bet
10 ~,
in Wade Hampton.
The senate is the judge of the
qualifications of it's own members.
1t has expelled members for treason
able conduct and utterances and for
holding seats obtained by bribery. 1t
would be justified in unseating man
who is constantly assailing the mo-
tives of those with whom he does not
agree, and also on the ground that
the senate is no place for a man
who exhibits Tillman's characteris-
tics. He should have been expelled
or at least censured, for declaring
that he and his friends suppressed
the negro voters in South Carolina
by shooting them. A man who glor--
les in the murder of American cit
liens should not be permitted to sit
in the national congress. If all the
democrats stood by Tillman the two
thirds necessary to eNpel cannot be,
obtained. Unable to do that, the re-
publicans should investigate the
charges he has made, and in con-
, nection herewith, if not sustained,
they should declare that the man
who makes such charges against
senators and charges American sol.
diers with the practice of crueltiea
upon Filipinos is not fit to sit III
the senate.
Years have passed since the sen,
ate has beelf'disgraced by PERSONA
collision between senator's. In fact,
| there is but one case on record,
when Senator Foote was the agrees
sor in an assault upon Senator Ben
ton. Those were the days when diff
ferences were settled by the duel,
The American people have made prog
ress in refinement and public NOR
ais, so that such an outrage as that
which occurred in the senate the
other day causes much more indig-
nation than similar offense years
ago. The senate should recognize
this fact and make the punishment
as severe as possible, to the end
that blackguardism shall cease in
that body.

NO FEAR OF A COMBINE.
Says There Is No Danger of Euro
pean Tariff Reprisnls.

The best Judgment in Europe and
America is, l believe, pretty well
agreed on the futility of European
tariff alliance against the United
States, says Frank A. Vanderlip, in
Scribner's. Not one of our ambas-
sailors or ministers believes it is

pean states, no matter how antago-
nistic European statesmen may be-

ufacturer who thought it probable
that the conflicting interests of the
various states could be brought to
any harmonious point of view from
which to formulate such tariff.
Undoubtedly it is a dream in the
minds of many people who have not
clear idea of the difficulties in
yolved, but certainly the best judg-
ment of the two continents seems
against the feasibility of the idea.
| Conflicting interests can never be
harmonized SO that an agreement
will be reached among the nations.
Indeed, conflicting interests in the
dual monarchy itself can probably
never be harmonized so as to sup
port Count Goluchowski's pro-
gramme. Austria is manufacturing
country. Her people have highly de-
veloped artistic faculties and deft-
ness and skill which make her a
| f,s, Of
of production, and she has some
standing as producer of iron, steel
and machinery.
| Hungary, on the other hand, is as
yet almost altogether an agricultural
country. Austria wants high tariff
to exclude foreign food and have the
advantage of cheap foreign manufac-
lures. The two parts of the mon
archy are held together by slender
thread and the fretful people that
compose the two nations will only
agree that that bond may hold them
for ten years at a time. The Ausg-
leigh expired in 1897, and for four
years the two states have wrangled
over it's renewal, industry and com
merce being all that time greatly
perturbed.

Not quite What She Meant.

The pitfalls which the English language
offers to the foreigner are many. French
woman who has undertaken housekeeping in
New York thought she had good work
ing knowledge of the language, but she soon
discovered her mistake. One day this sum-
mer she called carpenter and planned with
him to have some work done about the
house in the way of putting up shelves, cas-
ing some doors, and improving the place
in other small ways. She went over the
ground with him as carefully as possible to
get from him an estimate of what the work
would COST After it was done the bill sub
mitted was considerably in excesa of the
sum first na,aed. The woman endeavored
to demonstrate, but succeeded only in put
ting her French thought into the follow
ing English: But you are more dear to
