MR.. M'CABE WRITES.
Tells What Topeka Is Doing About
Brick Paving.

The following is a letter written by
City Engineer James F. McCabe to the
Municipal Journal and Engineer on the
subject of brick paving. The informa-
ton will be of interest to Topeka peo-
pie. This letter was published in the
last issue of the Municipal Journal:
Topeka, Kan, Dec. 10, 1901.
Editor, Municipal Journal and Engi-
neer:
November, you make reply that you
know of no cities that are using two
courses of brick on sand for paving. MY
object in asking the question. was 10
put myself in communication with cities
paving with two courses of brick, for
the purpose of getting some new IDEAS
as / am revising my specifications.
'rI am greatly surprised to learn that
the practice of paving with two courses
of brick has been abandoned. The city
of Topeka has been paving with two
courses of brick since 1889, and now has
S05.65 square yards, or 17.3 miles OF
two-course brick pavement on sand. III
the IL years that this pavement has
been down it has not cost one dollar Ior
repairs. and is now in good condition.
Some of our reasons for preferr1ng
two courses of brick on sand are as rol-
lows: It il less noisy, as 1T does not
have the hollow. rumbling sound that
results from one course of brick on
concrete foundation. This city is at
present, and will continue for some
time to come, putting in gas, water ana
sewer connections, AFTER the paVeHleiles
have been laid, and the repairing OF the
two courses of brick on sand is an easy
matter and cheap as compared with the
cutting and repairing involved where
one course of brick is laid on a con-
crete base This saves money, also, for
the property owner who puts in the SER
vice.
1--WE have two vitrified brick plants
within five miles of this city and there
is, of course, a per cent of brick from
each burning which is not fit for the top
course. BY using these, which are hard
burned, for the bottom course and the
perfectly burned brick for the top
course we get our brick at lower rate
and, as a result, the pavement costs us
less than 81, 20 per square yard. am at
present preparing specifications for
about 10000 square yards of two-course
brick pavement, the contract for which
will probably be awarded some time in
February, 1902.
JAMES f. M'CABE,
"City Engineer.
'If there are any other cities, Ameri-
can or foreign, which continue to lay
brick pavements in two courses on
sand foundation we should be glad to
receive their experience.-Editor."

mountain district, and in general the
amount on the ground at the close of

for like period year ago and two
years ago, but on the eastern slope 1t

however storms were frequent during

November combined.

INTER OCEAN SOLD.
Yerkes and Nixon Part With Their
interests

Chicago, Jan. 16-George w. Human
has acquired entire control of the Chi
cago Inter Ocean and become its editor
and publisher. The sale of the property
was concluded at the Holland House in
New York city, whittier Mr.. Human
had gone to meet Charles T. Yerkes and
complete the DEAL which has been un-
der way for several months.
The directory includes Rawson Ben
nett and the following officers:
President-George W. Human.
Vice president-Albert G. Phillips.
Treasurer-Charles w. Gray.
Secretary-William Penn Nixon.
Mr.. Phillips is business manager of
the newspaper and changes already
have been made in the editorial staff,
although official announcement of these
and of the names of the eastern stock
holders awaits Mr.. Humans return
from New York. The new company, it
is announced, starts without indebted
ness, the bonds issued by the old COM
pany having been taken care of. THE
paper" says the statement from the
east will continue Republican, with
an Independent tone"
Mr.. Human has been in charge OF the
Inter Ocean as editor in chief since
1897 when Mr.. Yerkes secured the prop
erty and induced him to leave the New
York Sun and enter the newspaper field
in the west. About year ago he under
took negotiations, which have just been
concluded.

Objectionable. and there is nothing in
the piece that will not make for good.
With the plot 1 was greatly pleased;
it is amusing and consistent, and well
managed. The scenery and the general
presentation of detail are admirable.
The most powerful impression was made
upon me by the acting, which was de-
ightful and realistic. 1 have never seen
anything better done than her interpre-
tation. The Squire, too, was excellent.
/ saw nothing in the buffoonery of the
'chore' boy that was in bad taste; that
was simply an admirable balance for the
grave and the sad situations.
1.-The most dramatic situation in the
play is the disclosure of the past of the
girl. L do not see how anyone could
sit through that with dry eyes I sat
there thrilled, my eyes filled with tears.
That work was superb.
Il wish that this style of play could
maintain always. I wish that it could
crowd out the society dramas. A So
ciety play will almost always give the
people a false idea of life, and erro-
neous ideas of values. But a play like
Way Down East and its class will up
lift the multitude"

IMITATION BUTTER.
Chicago Dealers Flooding Market |
With Spurious Article.

Chicago, Jan. 16.-Adulterated vinegar
and flavoring extracts and imitation
butter having been found in the mar
kets in large quantities recently, the
state pure food commission has COM
menced the prosecution of numerous re-
tail dealers in an effort to stop the
frauds.
Civil action against go dealers have
been instituted before a justice of the
peace. Other cases will be filed in
short time. Twenty of the prosecutions
are aimed at purveyors of impure vine
gar, six are for violation of the oleo-
margarine law and six are against sell
lers of havoring extracts. The COM
plainant in each case is r. NJ. Pattern
son, assistant pure food commissioner.
Inspectors of the commission have
been gathering evidence in these cases
for several weeks. In each instance of
a purchase the inspector would ask, rs
this article pure?" and an affirmative
reply being received would pay for the
article and take it to the commissions
offices for analysis. State Chemist E.
N Eaton and an assistant analysed all
the samples obtained in this way and
after he reported his analysis the prose-
cution was decided on.
Most of the impure vinegar being sold
in Chicago is from St. Louis and is Ia
belled Pure cidar vinegar" but is in
reality it is said low wine article.

Kansas has been fixed for January 27

attendance is assured.
Matters of great Importance to the in

require the attention of the association
Chiefly among these is the provision of
adequate long distance service. Won
derfuI progress has been made by indie
pendent companies in Kansas during
the past few years. The state is a net
work of their wires. Their plants have
been constructed in nearly every town,
village and hamlet in the state, and
with the exception OF the western tier
of counties every county in Kansas has
its local independent system.
In many counties where five years ago
telephones were unknown they now
boast OF several hundred telephones and
miles of local toll and farmer lines.
This phenomenal growth has but one

to the public in general, the telephone

this meeting.
A great deal of interest Is felt by all
the Independent telephone men of the
state in the installation of the Topeka

stations that have heretofore been unable
to reach the state capital will soon be
provided with this most rapid and COM
