occupant OF the garden. At home with
the king OF the sulphurous domain. she
became the mother OF devils and then
deserted Pluto and became 'specter

OUTING OF WORKS BOARD
Recommendations in Regard to Streets
 Will Be Made at Next Meeting.

At the outing of the board of public works yesterday afternoon 1t was de- cided to recommend to the aldermen that public necessity and convent ence require that Cooke street be laid out from Pine street to Waterville. In the opinion of the board Silver street from Dublin street to the ra!l- road and Sunnyside avenue from Drayer street to Riverside street should be worked to grade. The mat ter of relief from storm water in the neighborhood of the Sacred Heart church was referred to the engineer to report plan. The board looked over the south end and concluded that the storm water service ordered in Southview, Madison and Louns- bury streets will remove the source of complaint on account of washouts in that neighborhood. The board doesn't seem anxious to do anything with Madison street east of Baldwin street, although they admit that it ought to be fixed, but not by the city. ucy Idho Cuc BiOUuu tuut Iuc pOOpiC who sold the lots on that street should be obliged to spend few dollars on 1t before the city steps in. This would be all right if the rule applied in all cases, but 1t doesn't.
 When the property of George L. Lil- ley was being opened on North Main street everybody said that the city never would accept the streets in the shape they were left, especially Win chester and Belleview streets, but they took them in after all and spent considerable money making them passable without even assessing them any benefits. It is quite different with
 Madison street. All they ask is lay out and grade, which means, of course, that benefits and damages will be assessed and the property owners will foot the bills. But some of the members of the present board don't think the city ought to encour- age that way of opening streets and
 insist that the owners of houses there and in all such places should take steps to have something done by the people from whom they purchased
 before asking the city to assume any responsibility in the premises.

PLAN A GIGANTIC oRYpocK.
Largest Structure Of It's Kind to Bs
 Erected on Puget Sound.

washington.-Plans for the largest and best drydock in the world are being prepared in the bureau of yards and docks at the navy department. The last naval appropriation act con tained provision for a dock to cost sl,250.000 to be constrcted at the Bremerton navy yard. Puget Sound, Washington. This amount Is larger than ever heretofore appropriated for a dock and the new dock will when completed be able to take In the largest battleship either in course of construction or in contemplation. The location for the dock has already been selected at the yard and borings are now being made to learn the depth of the foundation It Is to be a concrete dock of the latest pattern and the materials will be purchased on the Pacific coast If practicable.
 The dock is to be so constructed that it can be heightened If vessels of greater length should be built in the future. It will be 37 feet in depth, which will provide for the. docking of any vessel that can be bull, unless some unknown system of building is developed. The greater depth of the new dock Is also designed to meet cases where a vessel has been injured and draws much more than the or dinary depth on account of the in. jury.

ARBITRATION IS REJECTED

CHICAGO, May 2.--Just as the
wreckers started the derolit;on of old
structures yesterday to make room for
S6.000,000 of new buildings in the loop
district strike was called which prom
ises TO tie up the building industry of
Chicago.
One thousand structural iron workers
following orders, will drop work today
and then idleness will precipitate the
first important labor disturbance in the
building trades since the 1900 lockout.
The strike promises to stop nearly all
construction work of large charact-
er. Skyscrapers and other large bull
dings under way in the down town dis.
tricts especially will suffer a set back
Delay is also in store for the new county
court house, where the iron workers
were preparing to begin work next
week.
The $6,0O0,0O0 figure on proposed new
accounts only for improve
ments to follow wrecked operations ac-
tually begun yesterday. In the city. |
loop district the summer promised an |
actual investment Of $l5.000,O00 in new
blocks.
The walkout OF the iron workers was
voted last night. Arbitration offers,
made at the last moment. failed to
lyert it.
The iron workers insist in a wage of
s5 a day for eight month. work. The
offer Of $3.50 for four
months and $3.50 for the rest Of the
.oming year was rejected.
Aside from affecting directly four
ifths Of the mechanicas engaged in steel

will throw out of employment several

WANT PAY RAISED.

NEW YORK, May "A strike Of
carpenters in Brooklyn yesterday is said
to include 1000 of the 1000 carpenters
employed in that borough. The strikers
want their pay raised from SOC to 56ac
an hour. This would increase their
weekly wage from S22 to $24.75. At
the strike headquarters it was said that
$50 or 4lO employees had already acced.
ed to the terms proposed.
Daniel Featherstone secretary of the
Now York district council of the Ameri-
can Brotherhood of Carpenters, said that
1000 carpenters had struck in the Bronx
for an advance from 81 to $3.50 day
the carpenters in Queens, he said, struck
last month for an increase in wages
from $3.50 to 81. The 800 carpenters on
Staten Island made the same demands,
to 90 into effect Monday.
The strike in the Bronx did not last
long, Featherson said as before the
afternoon the majority of the employers
granted the demands. Many carpenters
i'll Queens mad returned To work but as
soon as they heard the Brooklyn car.
penterS were out they struck again.
No strikes took place in Manhattan.
