THII 1CH CltlCA.lt SAXI1WICII. CrncUcrs Ksiicclully IIcsIkiiciI for I( Just How It Is Mil le. "I had had," said a man of an Investi gating turn of mind to a New York Sun re porter, "some little curiosity concerning tho Ice cream sandwiches which havo be come so popular an artlclo of sale, and I stopped tho other day at tho cart of a ven der and bought ono. I had obsorved In a general way that this odd sandwich was composed ot two thin cakes or crackers, with a thin Iayor ot ice cream between. I now discovered that tho crackers used arc specially designed and made for the pur pose; nnd how tho sandwich Is made op without breaking these thin crackers all to pieces was also revealed. "An esesntlal part of tho. vender's outAt Is a crackci holder which Is mado of tin and which has attached to Its undcrsldo a handle by which tho vender holds It In use. The holder Is simply a little flat tin plato the size of one of tho two crackers that form tho outside of an Ice cream sandwich, say two tnclieB by ono, nnd having a low flauge around three sides of It. Flanged around on thrco sides thus It holds tho cracker securely while tho sandwich is be ing made; and, projecting as they do Just ubovc the cracker, these threo flanged sides mako It possiblo to spread over It a thin layer of cream of precisely tho cracker's size; whilo tho absenco of tho llango on the fourth aldo permits tho complete sandwich to bo slid out readily thero without tho slightest danger of breaking It. From a long row of them standing on edge ou top of tho cart tho vender took a cracker whleb he laid gently In that flanged holdor. I found tho crackers used In thosu pandwlehes when I camo to get mlno to bo a thin, delicate, freshly-baked nnd alto gether agreeable sweet cracker, having rog ularly placed lots ot little Indentations In It, like those in a waffle, only bmaller and many more ot them, "Having placed this first cracker thus in the holder, tho vender did not, as I had previously supposed ho did, cut off a thin slice ot hard cream from an ice cream brick to form that part of thu sandwich, but with a suitable scoop he scooped out of the freezer e. portlou of cream which, with a deftness that could havo come from long practlco only, ho spread over that cracker with an absolutely uniform thickness, doing all this with Just two sweeps of the scoop. "And then ho laid another cracker on top of tho cream, which settles Into tho Inden tations In thu crackers and Is thus pre vented from slipping away from between them and slid tho completed saudwlch out of the holder and handed It over." route."

SEVERAL MATTERS ARE VENTILATED I'liun for Ci'lcliratliin of l.nlior Day Are TulLeit Mer In Delnll l'rltt W'lrtli ArrnlKtieil on (lie Union Carpet. There was a lively session of Central Labor union Friday, at which much discussion resulted and but llttlo real business was transacted. The arbitration conimltteo's report on Investigation of the sheet metal workers' complaint against George King was to the effect that tho trouble had been settled to Hi') satisfaction of all concerned ; that the trouble between the stago employes and Fritz Wlrth was settled In the same manner. The latter part of the report was not satisfactory to tho stage em ployes, who said that the trouble had not been settled. Thu matter Involved the waiters' nnd musicians' unions and mem bers of tho former union requested per mission for Mr wirth Jo explain the mat ter from his standpoint. Mr. Wlrth was admitted and stated that he had no theater nor any uso for a stago employe and wondered why he should bo required to employ n stage employe when none was needed and none had been employed lit twenty-two years. He said that A man had been forced Into his plncp who did nothing but drnw his salary. Aeed n Man Aiijmh)-. A member of the arbitration committee stated that ns every other beer garden and variety house in the city had em ployed members of the theatrical work ers' union tho committee thought a man should bo in the hall, even It thero was no work for him to do, W. H. Hell would not stand for tho claims of tho stage workers and said that ho thought It was not right to force a man Into a place where ho was not needed; that tho rr.atter should bo Investigated fully before arbitrary action was taken. He further said that It did not look right to force him to employ n man at $15 a week who might not do two hours' work In a week. Tho report of tho commltteo was accepted and Fritz Wlrth will bo re quired to hire the man. The organization commltteo reported tho organization of the plumbers' helpers. A special commltteo reported that It had not succeeded In making a settlement of tho work nt the den of the Knights of Ak-Snr-Den and thore will bo a meeting Monday evening to tako up tho matter. A communication was received from the Painters' union announcing that a lino ot $100 had been assessed against Hugh Mc- Caffcry for continuously employing non union palntcts nnd papcrhangers. A state ment of the condition by W. H. Hell brought J. J. Kerrigan to hLs feet, who claimed that Delegate Bell was misrepresenting facts. A hot and heavy argument followed this, In which every man had an opinion and ex pressed It at tho top ot his voice. Delegates Kerrigan, Bell and others woxed warm and called each other names, while the presi dent pounded with his gavel amid tho pan- domontum. Finally the matter was referred to tho arbitration committee, with a dozen men on their feet scrambling for recogni tion. Tho committee which has been soliciting advertisements for a Labor temple direc tory was requested to suspend operations until after Labor day. To Entertain Delegate. A letter from the Stato Sqclcty of Labor and Industry regarding tho entertainment of the delegates was referred to tho Labor day committee amid so much contusion that no one knew what had been done. When they realized what they had done the mat ter was taken from the Labor day commit tee and referred to a special committee, consisting of tho president, tho recording secretary and the flnnnclal committee. L. V. Ouye, from tho Labor day commit tee, reported that the unions of Council IJluffs would unite with tho unions of Omaha and South Omaha on the first Monday in September. The parade will form In Omaha at 10:30 a. m. to march to Syndicate park, and that there will bo a meeting of repre sentatives of the local unions to arrango the order of tho parade, this meeting to bo held on the last Wednesday of August. Delegate Charles Johuson, from tho Car Ilulldcrs' union, announced that his union had decided not to march In the pnrade If It bo true that. W. J. Uryan, E. Hosewater and O. M. Hitchcock had been invited to speak, as "they were tired of having meetings and gatherings at which men Identified with politics would draw the wool over tho eyes of the union men." Mnroh im n Ilnily. It was decided that tho delegates to the Central Labor union maintain their organi zation in the parade, tho union inarching is a body, and that tho president ot tho union act as marshal of the union. Illbbons to designate thu members of tho union wcro ordered prlutcd. Delegate Dabcock of tho Dutchers' union and Delegate Johnson of tho Car Dullders' union wcro appointed as fraternal dele gates to South Omaha. Delegates from allied unions wcro ad mitted as follows; Electrical workers, S. A. Ilurkhousc, Fred Johuns, J. L. Carter; clgarraakers, J. D.

"Say," ho remarked, as he passed a largo colored handkcrchlof nround his generous cxpanso of neck, "I want to complain of a woman who wastes the city water nnd I want you to go right up thero and shut it off." Tho clerk nt once scented a neighborhood quarrel, with nn Incidental desire for a petty revenge. "How do you know sho wastes the water?" he asked. Tho complainant's face grew dark. "How do I know It?" ho cried. "Why, sho threw a bucket ot It dn me!" Tho clerk kept n straight face. "Havo you any proof of tho charge?" ho asked, with a serious air.

SENATOR MILLARD AT HOME Eetornt from Hit Trip to Washington City, New York tad Othsr PtinU. OBSERVATIONS ON THE STEEL STRIKE Senator Announce the Wlndom of Young Men Studying the SiinnliiH LaiiKaniCe ChanKC of Fed eral Building Plana. Senator J. H. Millard returned yesterday morning from New York and Washington. Ho said: "It was principally private business which took mo east and I spent a largo part of tho tlmo In New York. In that city there seoms to be excellent business conditions and the present strlko In the steel manufacturing districts has had little effect on tho mar kets. Managers of the steel trust told mo that the strike was causing them little trouble and that they wcro not worrying over the result. They said so far na the union was concerned they would have noth ing more to do with It, as they considered It out ot the question. As far as I could understand tho situation It appeared to mo that the representatives of the employes would have a hard tlmo to framo any kind of a proposition which tho managers would consider at all. Theso managers assert that they ore nblo to operate their plants re gardless ot the union and from what I could sea In passing through tho manufacturing district they are warranted In their state ments. "In coming west I passed through Mc Kecsport, tbe center of the trouble. Thero wero about 2,000 wen and womon at tho trains and some of tho mills wero probably Idle, but generally from that place to Pitts burg all of tho mills seemed to be running, although some of them were short-handed. Unlet nt WnnhlitKtou. "At Washington I found most of tho ad ministrative officers out of the city. Tha postmaster general, the secretary of tho treasury and the attornoy general, thoso I desired to see, were In town and I met them. They aro very nice people and seem In clined to give Nebraska all that Is coming, but the trouble Is that all ot tho positions are ftliod. I was pleased to secure thu change in the postolllce plans, as that was ono of my chief reasons for visiting Wash ington. Tho supervising nrchltoct of the Treasury department had started to preparo a draft of the new design for the western side ot tl.o building before I reached tho capital and he had a forco nt work when I arrived, Tho preparation of these plans de layed me two days In Washington, but I saw the draft before I left. Thero will bo no porch on tho Seventeenth strcot aldo as there U on tho Sixteenth street sldo for tho reason that it would not bo practicable as the doors on that side aro to bo used as en trance to the postolllco workroom, through which tho mall sacks are to bo passed. Othcrwldo tho Seventeenth street side will be like the eastern side In height aud gen eral appearance. "When I left AVashlngton thero wes somo question ns to whether this change could bo made within the appropriation. I vis ited Chicago on my way home and whl'o thero 1 saw tho firm of contractors which U now nt work on tho buP.dlng. Their manager Informed mo that thero would bo no trouhlo In getting the now plans carried out ttslde of tho amount at the command of the d partment for this purpose, so there la noth ing to stand In tli3 way of thn change .Mum TnlU HpniiUli. "While In Washington 1 found that soma of tha places under tho government for which I have received applications from Nebraskans can only bo filled by tho Taft commission In Manila.

Price Per Pound In Siunll, but Sonic WelKli n nooil Muu- Pounds. Steel railway bridges, weighing perhaps 10,000 tons nplece and sold f. o. b. In Chi cago at 3i,4 to 3 cents a pound, are ono ot the anomalies of business, reports 'the Chi cago Tribune. Uut Is Is by tho pound, de livered lu Chicago, that the Uurllngton road system buys all Its bridges and pays for most of tho repairs to old bridges In the same way. ThU work is all let by con tract and bids for It mado by tho pound. Tho prlco varies according to tho market prices on steel. Threo years ago bridges wero bought as low as 1.83 cents a pound, but tho range today Is 3U to 3i cents a pound. On this railway system for all bridges not exceeding 105 feet In length, tho girder pattern Is used, with tho frame work rlvltod together. Abovo this length tho truss pattern Is required, having steel plates drilled at the ends for coupling with other plates by steel pins. Assistant Engineer T. Jordan of tho Uur llngton system was asked as to railway brldgo building In general. "In tho ex perience of tho modern railroad," he said, "few bridges have had to be replaced In the last quarter of a century becauso they havo worn out. Tho increased demands ot traffic havo mado them out of date, either becauso they wero not wide enough for double-tracking or becauso they weio not built for such loads as wo arc now putting In cars. In building bridges tho weight nnd epeed of trains must bo taken Into consideration so as to avoid slowing down ns much as possible. Tako tho ordinary brldgo without a draw in It for tho pas sago of boats, no train Is expected to slow down becaust) of It, because that section of track Is supposed to be as firm as any other. "Few people realize how carefully bridges mutt bo constructed In order to stand, lu the mnrgln between tho extremes of heat and cold In this climate a steel brldgo will expand nnd contract .12 of Its length, and to allow for this ono und of a brldgo Is hung from a giant link that swings to allow for expansion nt one pier. In the trusses of tho truss bridges the steel sec tions pinned togothor must be within .til of nn Inch In length between the drilled holes for the pins. To accomplish this, each section of steel must bo at exactly the came temperature ns thu others at the time of drilling. The drills which cut them are fixed to a steel shaft which expands or contracts according to thn atmosphere of the shop In which tho brldgo steels are kept fo- drilling. Thoso pieces are clamped together tightly and bored according lo pattern, Insuring that each piece will be just the same length of llio others when ever thuy nre of the samo temperature. "As to Iron or steel bridges under strain ol traffic ono of tho theories ot theso metals is that constant strain nnd Jarring tend to mako them 'tired.' This Is a weakening process brought about by tho crystallizing of the molecules, making a bar much moro likely to snap. In 1891 one of this com pany's bridges was Mill standing over tho Mississippi river at Uurllngton, la., whom It had stood slnco 1865. It was nn Iron bridge, as steel bridges wcro unknown at ho tlmo of the building of It. "The company decided lo take out one span of this structure in order to test the condition of tho brldgo Irons. It was n costly bit of experimenting, especially an It proved that the Iron was as good as It was when it was put Into tho structure twenty-six years before.

On this bridge all trains hnd been run slowly, tint beenuso of the brldgo, but becauso of thn draw that was In It. A stato law compels the stopping of all trains before reaching tho draw ot any brldgo and this means al ways that trains havo to bo run slowly to be under sufficient control.
