necIing the Secoud-Work Expected

The party consisted of Councilman

Lambert, City Engineer Davis. Con-
tractors Irwin and Aoester and other
residents of this CITY, who are inter-
ested in the installing of the new sys
tenn. The party in all, who witnessed
the starting of the work, number about
% and no doubt world have been
larger had it not been for the threat
ening weather. The ceremony was to
have taken place last Saturday after
noon, and at that time there were
some present, but ON account of the
weather and of SOME of those who
were to take part the formal starting
was postpored until Monday after
noon. Although the crowd was not as
large as expected, the officials did not
let it interior with the program which
had been planned. as they were anx-
ious to have the work commenced. as
were the contractors.
After arriving at the place. Coun-
Gilman Thompson, after making a few
appropriate remarks for the OCCASION,
took the iron piping, the first that has
been laid, and set 1t IN the trench.
While the pipe was being put IN posi-
tion and after it had been laid other
remarks as to the Importance of the
new work, were made by other city
officials. The second piece of pipe
was then placed in position by
Councilman Thompson with the assis-
tance of Contractor Irwin. AS soon
as the two pieces were laid and the
ceremonies concluded, the men COM
meneed the having of the other piping
extending from the we to he spring.
City Clerk Lambert took two pic

when the second one was being put in
place. He expects to have them finish

Fifty men are now at work laying
the pipes and it will be pushed with
the utmost energy so that the system
can be completed as soon as possible.
The exact time for the completion OF
the new system is not known, but one

work said that it was their expecta-

ELECTRICITY AND WINE.
The Current Is Now Employed In tAs
Process of Aging the
Grape Juice.

Italian wine merchants have reason
to congratulate themselves on the in
PRODUCTION OF the electrical process for
the aging of wines in the wine-pro-
ducing provinces Of Italy. The process
is said TO render possible extraordi-
nary notifications in the bouquet and
body of the vintage, and the suggestion
has been made that it might be em-
ployed with advantage also in the cor
rection Of faults frequently apparent
in California wines arising from the
richI ess Of the soil on which the grapes
have grown. But the tempering Of
wine is only one Of the many uses to
which electricity is now put in the wine
producing industry. In an establish
ment in Algeria, where the Arab labor
was uncertain and unsatisfactory,
generating plant has been erected for
doing the whole work. The current
from the dynamo is utilized for lighting
purposes and for the operation of sew
en- electric motors ranging from two to
ten effective horsepower. One motor
drives a one-ton crane, which lifts
boxes of grapes from the ground floor
to the beating room, three motors oper-
ate the heaters and presses, and the re-
naming three are coupled direct to
centrifugal pumps. which keep the

MIGRATION OF NEGROES.
thousands Leave the Country Every
Year to Find Employment
in the Large Cities.

Booker T. Washington recently gave
two reasons for the general migration
Of the colored population from the
country into the cities-the superior
educational facilities for colored chill
dren and the better police protection
afforded by the cities.
The increase in the negro population
of the United States between 1890 and
1900 was 100000, or at the rate OF
about is per cent. the white popula-
ton in the same period increasing p
per cent. But this gain IN the colored
population is not evenly distributed,

the cities generally gaining at the ex-
pense of the country districts.
In Charleston, s. G., the colored
population increased in ten years from
5000 to 10000; in Jefferson county,
Ky, which includes Louisville, the
colored population increased from 3d.
600 to $1,000 in ten years: in Shelby
county, Tenn, which includes Mem
phis, from $1,000 to 5000; in Fulton
county, Ga, which includes Atlanta,
from 35 900 to 4b,000; in Baltimore
from $1,000 to 10000; in Washington
from 10000 to 100000; in Duval coun-
ty, Fla, which includes Jacksonville,
from $4,000 to $4,000; in Warren coun-
ty, Miss, which includes Vicksburg,
from $4,000 to $4,000; in St Louis from
26 900 to 35 900, and in Galveston from
1000 to $780,
Indications of the migration of col
ored residents to the large cities may
be found in the north as well as in the
south. In the state Of Pennsylvania
the increase in the colored population
in ten years was 10000 OF this $1,000
was in Philadelphia and Pittsburg
alone.
In New York the increase in the
colored population in ten years was
$4,000, but of this total 10000 was in
New York county, 1000 in Brooklyn
and 1000 in Richmond and Queens
and 1000 in the whole rest of the state
Another reason for the increase In
the colored population of the city, not
given by Mr.. Washington, is the bet
ter wages paid to colored people in the
cities and their larger opportunities
for material advantage.

Rome. July 1.-THE Pope had his usual ups
and downs yesterday though they were Iess
marked than on other days. The POntifr received
relatives and several cardinals. and even gave
some orders. but he has kept his body quiet
while his mind is as active as ever. The doctors
speak philosophically regarding the rumors
spread against their skill. saying that no great
man ever yet died whose death was not the
fault Of the physicians. in the eyes Of somebody.
There is great interest shown in the coming
arrival here OF Cardinal Gibbons. who. II IA
thought, will try to start in the Sa0rad College
a party capable Of raIlying the most progressive
and enlightened elements. which have in the
supreme governing body of the Church a re-
fection of what was called Americanism. 1t Is
already assured that the left wing of the Sacred
College. recognizing Cardinal AgIiardi as its
leader. would join Cardinal Gibbons's movement
with enthusiasm.
