the o5 customers sold in the six

amount of publicity was due to
the fact that all six of the daily

that such an enormous sign

by everyone and is entitled to
considerable credit.

TALKING IT OVER FOR
A YATES BOOSTER CLUB,
ExGovernOr Has Enough Friends In
South Chicago to Start the
Movement.

Why not start a Yates Boosting stub
in South Chicago? This question is one
that more than one voter in the Eighth
ward has asked themselved during the
last month.
Yesterday the matter was talked
over in an East Side office and was dis
cussed pro and con for about two hours.
Everyone who has been approached on
the subject has considered 1T favorable,
but no seems DESTROYS taking the re-
sponsibility of starting the club.
Yates has many friends among the
voters of the Eighth ward and would
be only to gald to see a club started
and that it would do him a world of
good in the company campaign, is al
ready conceded.
A prominent East Side business man
will make at trip down town some time
this week to the Yates headquarters
and then it is expected plans will be
formulated for the organization of the
Eighth ward boosting club.

1t has been officially announced that
the Kensington and Eastern road will
be in operation by the frst of next
month.
The new roads starting point will be
at Kensington and its eastern ter
minus will be at the India Illinois
state line, where 1t will connect with
the Chicago. Lake Shore & South Bend
interurban line.
Whether or not the Chicago, Lake
Shore & South Bend road will use the
Kensington and Eastern tracks has not
been decided, but in an interview with
the K. g. E. attorney, Mr.. Grinnell, he
stated that beyond doubt they would
lease their tracks to Kensington,
where they will run on into the city
over the Illinois Central tracks
The officials of the Kensington and
Eastern road have ordered 1900 tons
of structural steel for the bridge at
the Nickel Plate crossing for immedi-
ate delivery and the work of construc-
ton will be pushed on as rapidly as
possible.
The officials of the new road will
with few exceptions be the same as
the Illinois Central, as both roads are
owned by the same corporation.

OLD BRIDGES
Railroad Officials Decide to
Span Calumet With
Swing Bridges.

The old stationary bridges, which
span the Calumet river at various
points this side of West Pullman, will
soon be a thing of the past, as each
one viii be torn down and replaced with
up-to-date swinging bridges.
At a joint meeting of the railroad
officials, which was held some time ago,
this was decided and yesterday crew
of bridge workmen began the pre-
limiRary work of erecting one of the
new bridges over the Calumet river on
the Pennsylvania road.
The other roads have promised to
follow suit and 1t will only be a short
time until the old time stationary
bridges will be removed.
This not only will be a great benefit
to the road in making better time, but
1t will lalso give the roads road bed a
better appearance.

EnoIish Contempt For Labor.

Contempt for labor is an attitude of
mind which is more marked in Eng
land than 1T is in other countries. at

peer; he was originally a common
workman" That is said notwithstand-
ing that Lord - has remarkable abil-
ity, has established an enormous bust
ness and controls body of men far
larger than a territorial magnate com
manded in feudal times. "The house
Of commons is detestable now; those
Labor members have completely spoil
ed it." Most of the Labor members
have spoken only on subjects concern
ing which they are experts and have
been of great use in making clear to
the house important matters which
ordinary members are extremely ig-
norant about Society" expresses its
contempt for any who have raised
themselves from the labor level, but is
prepared to enjoy their hospitality and
borrow their money. ''The county and
district councils ought never to have
been established; a multitude of com
mon laborers are now in a position to
interfere in local matters" Those su-
perior people, the spendthrifts and
spectators, alone are fit to associate
with, to legislate for the country and
to manage municipal affairs.-London

A Story Of Saint Gaudens.

The eminent and lamented sculptor
Saint Gaudens while living in Rome
had fountain in his studio which he
declared to be the source of his inspira-
ton, and when he returned to America
he missed the sound of the trickllng
waters. 1t occurred to him that sub
stitute for the genli in the fountain
might be obtained by tying down the
faucet in the lavatory and thus having
a constant flow OF soul inspiring aqua,
a delightful accompaniment to hard
work. The arrangement worked very
well, and the delusion was perfect so
far as sound, II not sight, was concern
ed. Work progressed rapidly and well
with the inspiration of the genii In the
faucet, and the day came when the
finished work must be removed TO other
quarters, which removal required the
assistance Of the janitor. The sculptor
rang the bell for that dusky person,
and after repeated summons receiving
no reply Saint Gaudens descended to
the regions below, where he found the
man Of all work pumping away for
dear life
On Saint Gaudens inquiring why be
had received no reply to his summons
the negro replied that he was sorry not
to be able to answer, "but somehow
can't keep no Watah In this here

Scientific Fun With a Spider,

It occurred to q scientist in Washing
ton to try what effect the sound of a
tuning fork would have on a spider
He had strong suspicion that the
spider would take 1t for the buzzing Of
fly. Selecting large, fat spider that
had long been feasting on flies, the
man of science sounded the fork and
touched a thread of the spiders web.
The owner was at one edge of its
web, and the thread selected was on
the other side. Over its wonderful tel
ephone wires the buzzing sound was
conveyed to the Watchful spider. but
from its position 1t could not tell along
which particular line the sound was
travelling. 1t ran to the center of the
web in hot haste and felt all round till
1t touched the thread against the other
end of which the fork was sounding.
Then, taking another thread along as
a precautionary measure, 1t ran out to
the fork and sprang upon it.
At this point it found out its mistake.
It retreated for a short distance and
stopped to survey this new buzzing
creature that should have been a fly,
but was strangely unlike any insect ii
had ever seen. At length, apparently
| convinced that the object at the outer
edge of the web was more suitable for
amusement than for an article Of diet
1t got on 1t and danced with pleasure
1t was evident that the sound of the
| fork was music TO it-Washington
