Locust Streets i'm Time for the Worlds Fair.
FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC
As restless and weird-looking as the
troubled spirits of Walpurgis night are the
little armies of laborers who toll unceas-
ingly each night under the glare of brilliant
electric lights in the excavation which is
to be covered by the great new hotel now
building at Twelfth and Locust streets.
In order to get his hosiery ready to ac-
commodate guests who will visit st. Louis
during the Worlds Fair, the contractors
erecting it have found It necessary to con-
tinue operations day and night. Teams.
men and machinery are kept working in
feverish haste. so hat the doors of the
hotel will be thrown open on scheduled
time.
The night work Of excavation and con-
stfuction on this and other buildings in the
downtown district creates a new era in st.
Louis building. Heretofore the hours of the
day were deemed long enough for work.
Now time Is more precious than money,
and success depends upon the rapidly with
which the structures can be solidly thrown
up.
Nightly hundreds Of the curious are at
tracted TO the excavation by the activity
seething in It.
Great round arc lights. as brilliant as
miniature suns. fiji the place with light as
bright as noon.
1t is not a genial light like that of the
sun. however. but appears unnatural and
gives men and beasts working in IL a weird
appearance.
Throughout the night the laborers work
with as much earnestness and system as
their brothers who toll in the hours OF the
day.
The bosses in charge give out their orders
sharply and they are quickly obeyed. IT
appears as IL each man realizes the i'm
portance Of bis part in accomplishing the
whole task. and he works with unfirinp
energy.
At midnight. Just as at noon. there IS an

I hour Of rest. The horses and mules are uns
hitched and given their fodder
The men quit working and produce their
lunch pals for the midnight meal. In
groups they congregate on plies of lumber
under the electric lamps. and discuss their
OF the night.
Now the work Is principally confined to
excavation and laying of the corners OF
stone and iron for the foundation.
Dirt is taken out and materials brought
into the excavation In wagons, hauled up
OF the pit from the sidewalk This is steep
and in wet weather slippery and hard to OBJ
tain a foothold upon.
Wagons are loaded with earth and hauled
to the level OF the street Two animals are
seldom enough for the load.
and the wagon hurried to the top amid the
encouraging shouts of drivers and lahorers.
As soon as one wagon departs. another is
at hand TO take its place.
The night forces take up the trend of
labor exactly where the day shifts leave
or. There Is no stop In the operations
When the morning breaks the lights are
extinguished and the day men appear to re-
heye their tired brothers Of the night.
Citizens passing to and from work on
the Subu<oan cars can note the change and
progress made each day. First their stten-
ton was attracted by laborers wreckng the
hotel.
Within a few days. as IL by magic. these
buildings crumbled away.
Z The next thing to attract notice was q
blank bare space where the familiar build
ings had stood. Next came the excavation.
which progressed as rapidly as the razing
OF the buildings.
Now VIII come the process OF building. In
Its different stages. and people VIII wonder
at the Attachments OF science OF modern
construction
Already many persons are beginning to
wonder what the new hotel will be called.
Being In a way a public enterprise. there
are many who are anxious that a name
connected with the history OF st. Louis
and the Middle West be chosen Names
suggested are ST. nj Lafayette. Louisi-
ana, De Soto. Boone. La Sale and Pontiac.

best. the heads Of departments invariably
give the inventor or maker another chance
by buying a second machine.
Some manufacturers have been known to
offer their machine free in the hope that
they might receive more consideration at
the hands of Government employees. but
these attempts at influencing those who de-
eide upon the machine nave always failed.
In the majority of the departments regu-
lar reports as to the advantages. disadvan-
tages. usages. duration Of service. and other
details are furnished from time to time by
those who operate the machines These re-
ports do not apply to those machines that
are made by firms whose workmanship has
been under observation for years. The
newer makes only come in for an earnest
subject of investigation.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
Wonderful developments have recently
been made in the system employed by the
United States Government in the reception
and distribution Of the tons of mail mat
ter daily poured into the many branches of
the Postal Department. and handled by its
thousands Of employees throughout the
country.
Probably no department Of the mali serv-
ICE has been the recipient of more atten-
Hon at the hands of postal experts than
Che one working in operation on the rail-
road lines Of the country.
With the gradual increase in the time
schedule OF transportation within the last
fifty years there has been a corresponding
improvement on the paft OF the Postal De-
partment in the equipment OF this all-in-
portant factor Of the great system.

The chief clerk has been sought and

these that the clerks will soon begin.
Our new clerk arranges the heavy sacks
in their proper places in the car.
Finally there is much hurrying to and fro
on the platform. The last drop" from the
office arrives. The last sack is flung IN the
open doorway Of the mail car. A far-away
gong clangs the warning double stroke.

ciphering thousands of different handwrit-
ings and placing the letters. one by one. In
their proper boxes As soon as a box Is
! filed. the letters are removed and formed
into neat bundles-all this before the first

/ stands amazed at the various acrobltic

i understand why mail clerks have thin faces
and carry such a preoccupied air.
