Paulist Fathers. When seen at their
house in West Fifty-ninth street, last
night the Rev. John T. Hughes said of
Bishop Potter's action that it remind
him of an incident that had happened
in the church in Father Hecker's
time
"a man came here" he said, and
told Father Hecker that he wanted to
open saloon in the parish. You
know he added. that I'm good,
law abiding man. and want to con-
duct the saloon on good moral lines.
and don't want you to oppose me in
opening it. II you will consent I
promise to comply with any stipula-
lions you may make for me in runs
ming it,
...All right Father Hecker an
swered, you can go ahead If you will
comply with my conditions. The first
is that you will have none but arch
angels for barkeepers.
cit is unnecessary to say continued
Father Hughes, that there was no
need of mentioning the other condi-,
tions. My opinion on the subject is
that laid down by all the Catholic
bishops. who say in the DEGREES of the
Council of Baltimore as to those en-
gagged in the sale of Intoxicating
liquor:

more honorable way of making liv-#

the country and DESTROYS of helping the
south to develop and extend it's Industrial

The Veterans,

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
We have been all mussed up by the re-
cent action in regard to hours of service
in the departments, and the complimentary
things which are being said about us al the
Capitol. Then on top of it, the terrible ac-
cusation that at least 10 per cent of the
clerks could not get to their desk If 1t were
not for the elevatorsl To be sure they con-
sole themselves with the reflection that ele-
vators are installed in Buildings for use;
also, that perhaps the other 80 per cent
make use of them as a recreation. 1t is
barely possibly that the 10 per cent con-
tingent are old soldiers who lost their legs
In defense of their country. But you ought
to have seen those old wrecks when In the
fuilness of life. when they put on the uni
forms of blue

selfishness. which have in this dispensation

FOB UNDERGROUND WIRES.
Commissioner Macfarland Striving to
Have Overhead Construction Removed.

Commissioner Macfarland Striving TO
Have Overhead Construction Removed.
Commissioner mcfarland has been work
ing for some time through the electrical de-
partment, over which he has supervision
to obtain the removal of all overhead wires
from the streets, and the placing of these
wires underground. He stated today that
the prospect is good for the accomplishment
of this purpose at an early date.
1t is stated that the electric light wires
have all been put under ground and the tel
ephone wires are rapidly being transferred
to the conduits. The telegraph companies,
however, it is said, have done practically
nothing toward placing their wires under
ground. Congress has not required the tel
esraph companies to make this change, nor,
indeed, has it authorized the Commissioners
to allow the companies to build conduits In
which to place their wires should they de-
sire to utilize them.
Mr. Macfarland was today informed by
Mr.. Walter c. Allen, electrical engineer,
that the Postal-Telegraph Cable Company
expects to remove all its main street lines
and put them underground during the pres
ent year. having made an arrangement with
the telephone company for the use OF one
duct in its conduits.
The manager of the Postal Telegraph Ca
Bile Company, Mr.. G. w. Ribble, in a letter
to Mr.. Allen, states that 1.-THE proposed I'M
foreground installation will also permit the
removal Of almost all the overhead fixtures
company, except those used for call boxes
in certain Isolated branch Office connec-
tons"
The Western Union Telegraph Company,
it is stated, will be obliged to obtain legisla-
ton from Congress authorizing the COM
pany to build conduits, since the company
Is not so situated as to avail itself Of the
telephone conduits.
