The City Street Railway

Being asked concerning the report
that the lines of the city street railway
system were to be extended and the
system arranged so as to Civ e a
croas-toWn line, President w. j. An
drews said that there was nothing de-
finite in such a statement, but that if
any change was made it would probably
only effect two streets. 1t is known
that Mr.. Andrews desires to give the
city just as good a street railway sys-
TEN as can possibly be had with the
patronage given to it.

THE STRIKE Is EXTENDING.
Military and Police Of Belgium Adopt String.
ent Measures to Keep Order.
(By the Associated Press.)

Brussels, April 15.-The strike is
steadily extending in both this city and
it's suburbs, especially at Molenbeck.
where a number of large factories have
stopped work.
The military and police have adopted
more stringent measures to preserve
order.
The burgomaster has refused the So
cialists' request to be allowed their own
devices in burying the Socialists killed
during Saturdays riots. Orders have
been issued for the procession to be held
at six o'clock in the morning, without
bands or funeral emblems. Otherwise
the interment must be carried out at
night. 1t is estimated that the strikers
in the Charleroi districts now number
$4,000. There are frequent parades there
but the town is generally peaceful, in
accordance with the advice of the strike
leaders.
At La Louviere, $4,000 men are out on
strike, but the district remains quiet.
A soldier who raised seditious cries at
Houdeng- Aimeries, has been sentenced
to six months Imprisonment.
Dispatches from Client, Liege and else
where in the provinces show that the
strike is extending. The workmen thus
far, have been peaceable.
At Horstal, 1,50O employees of the Ma
tional Arms factory, walked out.
All the approaches to the Parliament
buildings here are occupied by civic
guards.
The international Socialist Bureau has
decided to issue a manifesto to all for
eign labor associations asking them to
support the general strike in Belgium.
The Government has firmly declined to
yield on the question of revision, and
unless King Leopold should override the
ministry, there seems to be nothing to
prevent a serious development.
Tomorrow the Socialist members oil
the chamber will present their demand
for universal suffrage. This will inevita-
bly, be defeated, and it is feared that
their defeat will lead to trouble, particu-
larly in the provinces.

THE CHARACTER or JACOB.
Miss Blodgett Begins the First of New Series
That Interest ALI.

Miss Blodgett began yesterday the
| first of a series of lectures upon the
character of Jacob.
AS in the preceding lessons upon the
life of Abraham. each following as
sequence of the foregoing, so will she
treat the subject of the present series.
We trust, therefore, that all those who
are interested in the teaching of this
rarely gifted woman will endeavor to
attend each lecture, that the logical
sequence may be more clearly appre-
ciated.
The first thing seen about Jacobs
character in the beginning of the MARIA
tive is. that he is selfish: that he took
advantage of Esau's hunger to tempt
him to part with the coveted birthiight
instead of generously sharing his mess
of potage with him. Next, that his ma
tural disposition was inherited from his
mother, Rebekah, who conspired with
Jacob in the base deception of the blind
and aged Isaac-thns defrauding Frau
of the patriarchal blessing he desired to
obtain for himself.
Again, that both Rebekah and Jacob
suffered lie UllltI vi tiiSii
SIM Jacob went forth a fugitive before
the face of his brother. while Rebekah
was never again to behold her son.
Gods appearance to jacob at Bethel is
a type of His seeking and saving the
sinner, lost and helpless. The ladder let
down from heaven to earth, type Of
Jesus Christ. who came down from
heaven to this world of ours that men
might, by and through Him, obtain
fellowship and communion with God,
and an eternal inheritance with the
saints above.
