Extending System.

at may be that sometime IN the future

but that is not contemplated at pres
ent. They have been placed so far down
in the earth that they will not inter,
fere with any underground railways that
may hereafter be constructed. The high
est grade is twenty-seven feet below the
surface. and the lowest is forty. The
river will be tunncled at depth of sixty
five feet. twenty-five feet deeper than
the present tunnels and the work of en-
tending the system into the west and
north sides will be carried on as rapidly
as possible.
ut is expected that every street north
of Twelfth and east of the river will he
completed before the 1st of January. The
streets now tapped include practically all
those in the largest business districts OF
the city, and the managers OF the new
telephone company expect to be able to
set up at least 5000 telephones before the
lst of May next
''Thc methods of constructing the tun-
mel have been unique. Nothing like it has
ever been known in Chicago. The work
has been carried on in secrecy; gangs
have been engaged in digging throughout
the twenty-four hours, but the world
above has known nothing of them. IN
dcrlying the city of Chicago is a deep bed
of clay. so soft that picks and shovels
have not been necessary.
"All the work has been done by scrap
ers resembling n cooper's drawing knife
manipulated by both hands. The man
at the head of the tunnel simply scraped
the wall and brought down the powdered
clay, just as he would scrape off n cake
of maple sugar. This clay has been
shoveled into miniature cars and hauled
over the trans to the open shaft, where
it has been hoisted to the surface by
elevators, shoveled into cars and hauled
down to the lake front ana dumped into
the basin.
'All this work has been done at night
The teams have commenced hauling at S
p m. daily and have kept going until G
O'Clock in the morning. There have been
forty-two of these shafts, most of them
on private grounds, A few of them have
been on the public streets, hut they have
been located in such a way as not to OBJ
struct travel"

Controlling Company.

Controlling Company.
1.-The company which controls these pat
ents and proposes to introduce the new
telephones into Chicago secured fran
chise from the council for the construc
ton of underground conduits to carry its
wires, and that was the original purpose,
but the scheme grew until it has reached
ts present dimensions. and is still grow
ing. The plans now contemplate the en-
largement of the tunnels so that they
may be used for the Transportation OF
freight. mails, newspapers. packages ana
other articles. and thus lessen the traffic
that passes through the streets. At pres
ent. with an electric system of trans,
1t will be possible for the company to de-
liver coal at the offices downtown, to take
packages of merchandise from the re-
tail shops to their customers in different
parts of the city. to transfer freight from
the railway stations to the retail stores.
and do whatever is necessary in the way
OF transportation that IS now done by
teams. except the very bulky articles.
The company has not yet received per-
mission from the common council for this
service. The present charter limits it to
the storage of telephone and telegraph
wires and the transmission of mails and
newspapers, but it has asked the priv
iege of extending it's usefulness. 1t also
asks the privilege of renting space to
other corporations having telegraph. tcle-
phone and other wires. The tunnels are
large enough to take care of all the wires
in Chicago and it would be a good thing
to put them there and thus avoid the
frequent tearing up Of the streets The
wires can come up into the buildings
through pipes.
For the handling of freight it is eX-
pccted to rent storerooms at different
convenient localities, dig shafts down
to the level of the tunnels and lower and
hoist the packages by elevators. NIer-
chants can have branch tunnels con-
strlcted from the main lines into their
cellars and packages can be brought TO
them underground from the various
freight houses upon the elctrc cars much
more promptly and economically than
they are now delivered by teams. In Or
der to carry out this scheme. however 1t
will he necessary to enlarge the tunnels
considerably. and it is supposed to MAKE
the most of them l. by II feet, instead of
4 by feet in size.

Something in those soft brown eyes
of the child's portrait had brought
back to her those wonderful, lustrous
kindly eyes. The next day she went

appeal to her yearning heart. Anxious
to S again. and yet ashamed Of the
en- .tment it held over her she
went again on the third day. As
usual there we're others in front Of the
picture-a group of school girls this
time. with strapped books and merry
spirits overlooking at all they saw
and heard. One of these on looking
closely at the portrait, exclaimed:
ooh. is that the picture they are
all making such a fuss about? Why,

coming q passion with her. putting
purpose into her hitherto %purposeless
life. There came a new interest With
the reality Of the little face she al
ready loved, with the thought that he
VA here in the great city and she
might see him. Whatever the feeling
was in her heart it drew her one day
to the wretched lodging house at the
corner Of Maple Street and Lane Court.
Never before had her dainty garments
trailed IN such a direction. and 1t was
a new experience for her to walk
through this district Of the city. She
found the corner. and near 1t In the
street. some children were playing.
She scanned each face eagerly, but
she failed to find one bearing a like
ness to the picture. She walked fur
ther on. serutinizing the face Of every
child she came upon. but nowhere
about the square did she find her pic
ture boy. She came again the next
day. and again many days after.
growing more eager In the search the
more her object eluded her.
At last one day as she walked along
almost without hope now of finding
him, of a sudden in a group of play
ing children, she saw wildly before
her the flesh and blood original of her
picture, and even more charming,
nor magnetic than the picture, was
the reality. In stout clothes which

stopped to gaze at the child she had

straight toward her and returned her
gaze with the perfect confidence Of
perfect ~self-poise. She held out her
hand to him as to an old friend, and
he put his hand into hers.
Did 90 tum to see me?" he asked
with the straightforwardness Of child

We regret the display Of temper Mr..
Dreitsnstein 10 showing In his argu-
ment for socialism. It is not argu.
ment to accuse another Of ignorance.
even though It 10 the truth. The edi-
tor Of The Republican confesses dense
ignorance upon all matters pertaining
to the great revolution" and comes
to Mr.. Breitenstein. as a scientific 30
cialist, to explain, believing there are
others who would like to know how
all the change contemplated is to be
brought about. Socialists assume a
knowledge superior to the wisdom Of
all the ages. This statement is prov
ed by the fact that the people Of all
ages have rejected their doctrines.
Even In q small degree the pure g G.
cialistic doctrine has we been a sue
cess. As one who assumes to be
Learned in the proposals Of socialism.
It Is certainly fair for those who are
wandering In darkness to cateohise
Mr.. Bredtenstein. and 1t Is not in good
taste for him to retort that "all that
is necessary to be able to ask ques-
lions is TO be born"
We asked. "How will the hours work
of the common laborer be compared
with the visit OF An eminent ply
sician!" and Mr.. Breitenstein answers:
Socialists believe that a common la
borer's service that cleans sewers and
ditches to prevent disease is more i'm
portAnt than to ure It."
Although the reply is not direct. the
inference 10 given that the work of
the laborer. being more important"
shall receive greater pay. In almost
the next breath, however. he knocks
this statement down by saying, THE
values will continue to be measured
the same rs now. Not by competition
that now regulates these things to a
nicely but by natural law. tempered
with more justice than At present"
That is, the laborer will be entitled
tc more than the doctor. but the val
ues will be regulated the same as now.
but not the same as now. II we have
not made this clear, 1t is referred to
