MONTACNINI'S VIEW.
Envoy of Vatican Expelled from
France BIames Freemas0nry.

ROME, Dec. 14.-Mgr. Montagnini,
interviewed here, said referring to his
expulsion from France:
my expulsion was painful, but not
unexpected. France is going through
unhappy hours. The present situation
is due to Freemasonry, which succeed
ed in getting the upper hand through
the Incidence of the French middle
classes. Although deeply Catholic,
these classes are unorganiZed.
Il am the humble agent of the pope,
and l only did his will. Noiody can
say what the consequences of what is
transpiring in France will be, but
Gods will be done. Upon returning to
Rome l placed myself at the orders of
the pope. These l will execute Loyalty,
no matter what the outcome may be-"

The Outcast Children.
Option Sinclair in Success

Option Sinclair in "Success.,,)
And so, If a child labor law is en-
forced in Chicago, it can only be BY
the vigorous and determined efforts
of a large number of people; 1t can
only be because the women's clubs
and the settlements and the labor I'M
ions are willing to organize and agi-
tate and practice eternal vigilance. In
that way you can have the children
turned out of the packing houses.
And then the question is: Where do
they go?
In the first place, understand the
labor conditions in the yards; under
stand that there is an enormous for
eign population gathered there, hang
ing at the bare level of existence and
willing to work for almost anything.
The unemployed problem is chronic
may go out any morning and
see hundreds of men standing at ev-
cry door where there Is a chance for
a job. The consequence of this Is that
there is a great deal of woman's labor
If the man can not get a job and sup
port the family, the woman has to go
to work. You will find M work
ing in the yards'at all sorts of hideons
repulsive and ~exhausting occupations
not merely sewing hams and paint
ing cans and wrapping packages, but
tending sausage machines, and bon
ing meat, and cleaning offal.
Most of the houses in Packingtown
consist of two stories, with four small
rooms upon a floor. This Is a fiat"
which costs about nine dollars a
month; a family will rent N and
then take in boarders-frequently
they will rent out the attic and the
cellar. Single men will rent a fiat
comparatively, and will lodge as
many as a dozen in a single small
room, spreading their blankets and
their mattresses upon the floor. Some
times two men will own the same
mattress, one sleeping on 1t by day
and the other by night.
Such are the homes of the child
rem. And the mothers being ignor-
ant, there is, of course, a great deal of
undertaking, and disease, and need
less to say, the amount Of drunken
ness which always goes with such
conditions. OF course, while the
mothers and sisters are away at work,
the smaller children have to keep the
house; so that you have an increased
amount of a different kind Of child
labor-child labor at home. Inat Is
common everywhere in tenements-
you have read of the little mothers
of the poor; but l have seen
any so small as those | saw In Pack
ingtown.
1t Is no portion of any c~hild-labor
programme of which | have ever
heard that children should be proVid-
ed with decent homes and a g
of existence, whenever their parents
are unable to carr 1t; but you would
think that, at least, the city, when 1t
turns the children out Of the factor
les, would provide schools to which
they might go. In Packingtown,
however, the public schools are mad
equate, and the p%arochial schools, TO
which numbers of the ignorant for
eigners send their children, are
shamefully crowded.

WON'T BUILD LINE.
Franchise Law Scares Public Service
Corporation.


BOUND BROOK, Dec. 14:-Ac-
cording to an official of the Public
Service Corporation here yesterday,
the projected trolley line between
P~lainfield and South Plainfield has
been abandoned by the company I'M
til the concern secures the repeal of
the twenty-year franchise limit law,
passed last year by the legislature.
The representative of the company
further stated that it is impossible to
induce capitalists to invest money in
a project of such a short earning
period.
The Public Service Corporation has
been acquiring property along the
Raritan river for the purpose of
double tracking its lines between this
city and New Brunswick. There are
about four miles of property yet to
be secured. 1t has been intimated
here, according to some of the prop
erty owners along the line of the
trolley, that the double tracking
scheme has been abandoned until the
repeal of the limited franchise law.
The scheme to double track between
this city and Somerivlle and Raritan
has also been abandoned.

HE ESTABIISHEDIT
Howard t. yaiIIe, The Man Who In
stalled the Local Telephone
Exchange Years Ago in
Town this Week

Howard T. Vaille, of Denver, OF
the Colorado Telephone company, is
4 most pleasant visitor to the city.
When it was first proposed to n
stall telephone system in this city.
Mr.. vaille, who occupies the very i'm
portant position of contracting agent
for the Colorado Telephone company
came to this city TO institute work,
looking to the opening of the system
in this city.
1t was in 1893 that Mr.. vaiile came
to this city. 1t was right in the midst
Of the great financial panic and things
looked mighty blue for the installa-
tion of a telephone system for Grand
Junction. But Mr.. Vaille never fal-
tered in the work 1t was most dis
couraging but he kept right on
through that spring and the early
part of the summer and a system of
very small proportions was opened IN
this city.
At that time there were not to ex-
eeed twenty-five of thirty phones in
use in and the system was automat-
ic there being no central exchange.
When it is considered that at the
present time in the service connect
ed with the Grand Junction office
there are between 1,450 and 1.460
phones, the increase of the system
may be noted.
Mr.. Vaille is meeting many old
time friends during his present visit,
who aided him with his first work in
this city. He was free to say last
night, in renewing acquaintance with
the writer. that the Sentinel at that
lime gave him its best support.
