G0ODPLUMBING NOW
It. Is: Demanded by Up-to- Date
House Builders. y.
ONLY THE BEST NOW TOLERATED
w. w. Sykes Discusses Some Inter-
estinE Phases of Modern
...: Plumbing Progress.

There is no part of building which
makes more for the health and comfort
of the occupants than the plumbing. The
bath tub was once a luxury; now it is a
necessity. But there are still bath tubs
and bath tubs. Poor plumbing may be
a constant annoyance and menace, and
in this year of 1902 there is no excuse for
its going into a house. One need only
look into the show rooms of good
plumber to see that the modern plumbing
ideas are practical clearly, sanitary and
artistic: one need only to consult the
building regulations or the specifications
drawn by any good architect to find that
unsanitary plumbing is positively mex
cusable these days. These things are be-
plumbing is the rule nowadays and only
gross negligence in the choice of a
plumber will make possible unsatisfac-
tory results.
Speaking of some of the conditions of
the plumbing business at the present
time, w. w. Sykes said:
There has been remarkable evolu-
ton in plumbing matters in recent years,
and it may be said to be still going on.
It is not SO long ago that open plumbing
was novelty. Now no one thinks Of
| boxing away fixtures and pipes where
they are hidden from view. The tendency
is towards simplicity in construction.
This tendency has been greatly fastened
| by the introduction of solid porcelain and
enameled iron fixtures which are now SUI
preceding marble in many buildings. The
enameled iron has the advantage of being
| lighter than marble and without joints
more cleanly--oS- more easily kept clean
and absolutely impervious.
tetBut the greatest advance in the manu-
1 facture of fixtures has been in the solid
porcelain baths and lavatories. Almost

any kind of basin or bath can be found
OF this make. Lavatories are made small
enough -fore"a corner in an office and
elaborate enough for the finest bathroom
Baths are made plain and elaborate, but
all for utility and sanitation. Plenty Of
luxurious attachments can be added to
suit the finest taste. The porcelain lava
tories are really the proper thing for a
house and bathroom-no attached, basin,
no Joints, no basin to be broken-and
easily cleansed. $50
The enameled goods, as we'll IS the
porcelain and marble fitting are made in
more artistic designs every year and we
find that people want to make their bath
rooms and all plumbing accessories just
as attractive as possible. They demand
the best and we are satisfied with only
frst-c class goods and superior workman

analysis the best bath. Such great i'm
provements have been reached in shower
baths that to-day a frst-class bathroom
is not complete without an overhead
shower either in conjunction with the tub
or in separate water tight compartment.
The variety is large. Needle, spray and
rain baths are mostly used The rain or
spray baths are asily put in over an
ordinary bath. The rain bath is splen-

Twin City Telephone Co.'s Rapid
Extension of Service. !.
BIG IMPROVEMENTS IN A YEAR
Wires by the Tens of Thousands Of
Mtles-Telephones Ordered In
by Hundreds. 80 -..

Among all the improvements which are
being made in the city this year the
largest expenditure by any one firm or
institution is undoubtedly being made by
the Twin City Telephone company.
While the Twin City company is not
erecting any exchange buildings this year
it is carrying on a vast amount of in
stallation of poles, wires, conduits, cables
electrical apparatus, and, of course, tele-
phones. With the work accomplished last
fall and what has been done during the
winter and the early spring, the com
pany has now reached the point where al
its main lines are complete; that is, the
skeleton of it's system is fully outlined
All that remains for it to. do to cove,
every part of. the city is to put in short
lines radiating from these trunk lines.
i In speaking of the work of the veal
General Manager E. E. Webster said the
other day that during the past year his
company has put in in Minneapolis 2.6O{
miles of wire on poles, about 10000 miles
of wire underground and $4,000 feet G:

Since the days of the building associa-
lions great deal of nonsense-and worse
has been said and written about the
secure a home, 80 There are number
of plans now being put forward which are
worse than wort HESS 1t will be we'll for
all wage earners who desire to get homes
of their own to remember the old truth
that you cannot get something for moth
ing No wage Garner can afford to take
chances with concern of which he knows
nothing and which makes offers which
have something OF lottery feature. If
you have money to gamble with you might
as well ''go against" some of the regular
gambling games. but don -jeopardize
your chances of a home.
sWorkingnnen' should emember this:
that Minneapolis is growing rapidly and
that the prices of lots are lower in proper
tion now than in most large cities. This
means that there is reasonable prospect OF
an advance in values A well selected
lot, bought with Judgment, ought to be
good invest ment. Buy it of a reputable
dealer and ask his advice about raising
the money to build; if you must borrow.
Some of the best opportunities for wage
earners are now among those dealers or
owners Of real estate who have property
WHICH CQey WISH TO ueNelCp. Iuey are
often wiling to sell lots at low rates and
make very liberal arrangement for build
ing and payments, in order to start their
property going. This is entirely legiti-
mate. 1t may mean a little pioneering
for the buyer-but what of that? Any
place in Minneapolis is near the street
cars and not far from other conveniences.
he Journ al has asked E. G. Wal
ton to give his views on this subject be-
cause he has done a very large business
in just this line. Mr.. Walton makes no
bones of saying that his objects are en-
tirely business. He has no charitable
proposition to make. He wants to sell
lots and wants to sell them bad And he
thinks this the only true basis for putting
forward "tworkingme ems building propo-
sitions. It is to the interest of the owner
to sell lots and get his property going;
for this reason he is willing to offer in
ducements. He wants the men; that's all
there is Of it. ~

ton, "to sit down and talk about a subject
when business philanthropy, common
sense and charity are so closely glued to-

BUFFALO HERD
ont OF, the Flathead Reservation the
Shaggy Beasts Range.

Omaha Bee.
Roaming in absolute freedom in the
beautiful Flathead valley on the Flat
head Indian reservation, Montana, is the
largest herd of buffalo on the continent.
The noble animals have practically all
the freedom that was theirs in the days
when they were monarchs Of the plains.
This herd is the property OF half-breed
of mixed Indian and Mexican blood named
Pablo whose home is on the reservation
and who is reported to be worth two. and
half million dollars. He does not look 1t
in his suit Of citizens clothes, broad
brimmed hat and blanket, but he is as
shrewd 3 ranchman as Is to be found on
the western plains, and he has increased
his government allotment of cattle and
lands until he has amassed vast fortune.
He has two houses, one on the reserva-
ton and the other in the dreary little
shipping town of Selfish, on the Northern
Pacific railroad.
Pablo owns 100000 head Of cattle and
takes justifable pride in them, but he
especially glories in his herd of buffalo
which numbers $50. Pablo's regard fol-
his buffalo is intense. He is not keeping
/ them for profit and will not sell a single
specimen He lovesaSNem because they
are a. rart of the old, I1ee life he loved
and loves still. He has fellow feeling
for bison because, like his own race, they
have been driven from their old ranges
So he has gathered together all that he
| could get and has placed them onsstht
magnificent range at&the outlet of Flat:
head lake. ts

will immediat ely install 1900 pairs of
wires in the business district alene. This
will take care of the orders now in the
books for business telephones and of the
current business which is coming in from
week to week How large this business
is, people generally do not undertand but
for some time the Twin City company
has been taking an average of over 500 or
ders per month. In March alone 1872
telephones were ordered in and the April
business was almost as large.
Mr.. Webster says that they are install
ing complete systems in several of the
large hot els in both cities including the
new Vendome on Fourth street, and the
National on Washington avenue These
hotel systems include a switch board at
the hotel, Office and a telephone in every
guest room. The company is also putting
in many such systems in factories where
the various. departments are brought in
close communication with each other and
with the whole city
Owing to the low rate made by the com.
pany for residence telephones and the
excellence of its service, it is receiving
many orders for the installation of its in.
struments in the new homes which are
being erected this year. This rush o.
residence telephones is augmented b,

religions of the islanders, they are
together on the one point, opposi-
ton to the government of The
Hague. They are in q state of
revolt and there Is no question Int
that it will soon come. The Dutch
government has taken more than
5000, 900, 600 in revenues out of the
islands, and a very small percent
age of this only has been used for
improvements in the islands. All
races and all religions will Join to
put down the government. The
Dutch have not been able to con-
quer nearly all of Sumatra; in fact
only q small portion of 1t is now
in the hands of the soldiers. Thus
q hotbed of revolution is already
placed in the most dangerous spot
as far as the government is con-
cerned.
When the outbreak comes, as
come 1t surely will, the Dutch will
be in danger at home as we'll as in
its possessions across the sea. The
Germans are jubilant and do not
hesitate to say that the Neither
lands. in order to retain its colonies
and its home country, will be
forced to appeal to the German en-
peror for help, and that for the
use of his army and navy to put
down the outbreaks in the colonies,
as well as the dissatisfaction at
home, he will demand that the
Netherlands join in the German
federation and acknowledge his
sovereignty.
When the breapup in the islands
comes it is not likely that Ger
many will be able to seize the en-
tire group. Certainly If the wishes
of the natives count for anything a
part, at least, of the islands will go

AFRAID Of SPIES.
Russia Has Issued Prescriptions
Against Foreigners.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. "a
The government is doing every
thing in it's power to prevent pry
ing eyes from knowing anything
about the military measures that
are being enforced on the Afghan
and far eastern frontier. The Off
cial organ o. the government at
Turkestan publishes this extraordi-
nary prescription with regard to
foreigners entering Russian posses
sions in Central Asia:
These possessions may be visit
ed by any foreigner against whom
no order of arrest has been issued
by authorities. No foreigner is,
under any circumstances, permitted
to visit Kuschk ION the Afghan
|frOntier), Termes, Kerki, the mill
tary stations extending from the
latter place along the Amoo-Darja,
or Tchikichlar, Tchatla, and the
military posts along the kuschk-
Akkabat line. The same prohibit
ton applies to the branch rail
way line to Kuschk.
Foreigners who are arrested will
be at once forwarded to the author
tiles which have issued the order
for arrest, or to the nearest town.
Foreigners caught spying out the
country, or engaged in ether prac-
tees regarded by the laws as Grim
inal in Turkestan (including the
Khanates of Buchara and Khiva)
will be arrested and handed over to
the authorities qualified to deal
with them.

A BILLIARD BALL
CAUSED TROUBLE.
A Unique Scene of Catastrophes
Followed Its Flight.

Paris, Nov. 24.--Here is story
which smacks a little of the ficti-
tious, yet the man about whom it's
strange incidents cluster VOuches
for its absolute truth.
M. Reichart, a man of consider
able wealth, living in Rue de la
Pompe, was playing billiards In his
home a few evenings ago. In max
ing a difficult shot he hit the ball
so hard that it bounded from the
table and fell through an open win
dow, crashed through the glass roof
of the drawing room of the house
next door, smashing valuable
Sevres vase.
The noise alarmed a large An
CORA cat sleeping on the table, and
the animal sprang up, knocked over
a lamp set fire to some tapestries
and brought the fire department to
the scene, and a great deal of prop.
erty was damaged by water.
M. Reichart was engaged to the
niece of the woman whose house
was damaged. The woman, being
an invalid, was so frightened by all
the commotion that it threw her
into fit, from which she never re-
covered and her death soon fol-
lowed.
The niece, on learning the indi-
rect cause of her aunt's death, re-
fused to marry Reichart and is now
suing him for the damage done.

A FROG is NOT A FISH.
So Decides the Honorable Courts
Of Agen.

PARIS, Nov. Pat has been de-
cided by the solemn judgment of
the courts of Agen that a frog is
not fish and this confirms the de-
cision Of the police tribunal of
Auch, which discharged a man ac-
cused of violating the fish laws
when he had only been out frog
ging."
The policeman who had arrested
the Irog-catcher insisted that he
was guilty under the fish laws, be-
cause. he argued, that frogs were
classed as fish on the menus at
every hotel and restaurant he ever
neard of.
His superior officers thought his
logic was sound and the battle
'pro-fish" and "anti-fish" was bit
terly waged between opposing coun-
sci, and a big expense was entailed
on the district.
Now the question is whether a
separate place will have to be left
on the hotel menus to accommo-
date the poor homeless frog.

THE HOME LIFE is
MOST BEAUTIFUL.
An English Woman's Opinion of
American Domestic Life.

LONDON, Nov. PA Miss Vida
Goldstein, who has been studying
the domestic and social life of
Americans, has just returned from
the other side of the Atlantic and
makes some interesting comments
on things as she found them there.
She had this to say to your CORE
spondent:
at is an absolute fact that the
American men treat the women
splendidly. The home life is most
beautiful. The women are comrades
in every sense to their husbands.
1t is extraordinary to see," she
went on, the way the American
men work. They are off to their
Offices at o'clock in the morning,
at the latest. They devote their
whole lives to making money. Hav-
ing made their money, they are
ready to turn their attention to
public affairs. That accounts for
the freedom of the women. The
men make the money; the women
spend it,"
,, Editorial comments upon her in
terview are also interesting. One
! journal says: Three queries arise
out of Miss Goldstein's impress
ions: How does the American man
accumulate money if his wife
| spends it? What kind Of beautiful
home is it where the man is at his
daily grind by in the morning and
brady sees his home in his haste
for making money? And what kind
of woman is it who can find such
| happiness in being married to a
mere dollar shark?"
