IF ANYBODY in New York runs

The post Office department has al

Pennsylvania terminal; it has been
paid for, and the plans are being
drawn for the building. But prior to
the final passage of the bill authoriz-
ing the building a resolution was
passed by congress appointing a COM

general and the chairmen of the two
building commissions, to go to New

The Spread of Temperance.

To drinking, says Lecky, must be at.
tributed most of the crime and an
immense proportion of the misery of
his nation; and what Is true of Eng
land is true of the United States. AS
the beginning of most violent crime
on a big scale in English history is
parallel with the spread of strong
drink, so in our country crimes of vio-
lence, crimes of debauchery, political
corruption, the waste Of wages, the
ruin of families, all have their home
and origin in the saloon Civilization
will not be success until the saloon
Is but memory of what men once
endured. West and south in the Unit
ed States to-day the path to temper
ance is being followed with more de-
termination than ever in the history
OF our country. In more territory is
the saloon made illegal, and in a
greater part Of this territory is public

prohibition success. When it is q
success, life will be brighter for the

"You told me this was the smoking

the smoker.

''Well, sir, the sign says smoking

PASTOR QUIETLY BUILDS
WORKING GIRLS HOTEL

NEW YORK.-While rs women's
~ clubs in their federated as we'll as
their individual capacity have been
talking about the crying need for
working girls hotel, and racking their
composite brains for feasible schemes
to get the necessary money, the pas
tor of little church in Harlem is
busy building one.
About two years and half ago it
occurred to Rev. H. M. Tyndall that
the broken stone and sand which were
the by-prOducts of building excava-
t1ons in the city might be put to a
better use than that of increasing the
Size Of various dump heaps. Why
shouldn't they be purchased, he rea-
soned, for a nominal sum by con-
tractors who are putting up concrete
buildings and be used for his new
plan? He determined to become the
trst of these contractors. His congre.
cation had already decided that the
pastors project of hotel for working
girls under the auspices of the Peo-
pies tabernacle at So East One Hun
dred and Second street was worthy
and practicable and were ready to
pledge their support
So Mr.. Tyndall bought the stone
and sand, and collected a force of
Italian laborers to turn it into con-
crete. In the intervals when he wasn't
bossing the mixing he was drawing
pictures of fve-story and basement
building with rs rooms and a complete
assortment of comforts and some lux
uries.

MUSIC FROM MAN-HOLES
Is DUE TO LEAK IN WIRES

Further applause at the end of the
selection failed to produce an encore,
but when some one dropped a nickel
down the manhole as contribution to
the band supposedly concealed be-
meath it, with others following suit,
the music suddenly began again, con-
tinuing enthusiastically for many
hours.
Eventually members of the traffic
squad had to disperse the audience of
music lovers, which was blocking the
streets. Meanwhile, with occasional
pauses, the music continued through
the night to the delight of thousands,
and not until the following day was
the cause brought to light. Then it
was discovered that there was leak
in the electric wires over which music
is sent by a company which transmits
it from central producing station to
hotels, halls and private residences. It
was one of these wires which had
short-circuited, thus giving Broadway
free concert, mystery and a sensa-
ton all at once.
