CHIROPODY FOR CONDUCTORS.
Havana Street Railway Man Report !
the Latest Improvements.
New York , May 28. Frank Stein
linrt , who used to bo consul genera
for the United States at Havana , bu
who is now general manager of th <
Havana Electric railway , nn Amerl
can concern , came up recently fron
Havana by the Florida route and re
ported that the street railway bus !
nes down there is flourishing and tha
the company is building thirty-si ;
miles of new road.
"We are operating now flfty-elgh
miles , " Mr. Steinhart said at the Im
perlal hotel , 'and we are now running
n line out to Marlnao , nine miles , be
sides extending our other lines. The
Cubans are great users of the trol
ley cars. Travel of that kind Is great
er in Havana than In an Americar
city of the same size. There are nc
Coney Islands ns yet , but there arc
the baseball park and the race track
and they are very popular. Wo ope
rate live separate lines , with a com
plete transfer system.
"We are now building two new pow'
er stations , one at Aguadolce and the
other at Marlnao , and we are nlsc
building a now home for employes
at Jesus del Monte. Our idea is to
provide the man with comfortable
quarters , including baths , and with
perfect sanitary arrangements nt a
moderate cost. Wo keep three doc
tors , an oculist , n dentist and a clilr-
apodlbt , whoso services are free to
avery man who belongs to the society
if the employes.
"In the last three years wo have in
creased the rolling stock of the rail-
ivay 100 percent. For motormen , and
conductors wo employ Cubans , though
rve have a good number of American
sngineers and other employes.
"The last was the best tourist sea-
ion Havana ever had. With the three
ilg now hotels which had been opened
tdequato accommodation was provid-
Hi , I do not think any more hotels
rill bo put up next year. Business of
very kind is Improving and the island
enerally Is enjoying prosperity.
"There is still a great opportunlrj
In Cuba for Americans who are wllll (
to hustle. "

tired.
The lingerie typo Is the Ideal gradu
ate frock and beautiful designs are

College Ball Is In Balance.
DOS Molnes , May 28. The fate of
college baseball hangs in the balance
low. The Missouri Valley conference
leclared to enforce strictly the rule
irohlblting summer baseball to the
students. The rule has been evaded
on all sides heretofore , but the faculty
members sny now that It is going to
lie enforced. If It I found that It is
Impossible to enforce it , then the
sport will bo abandoned.
Nebraska university fought hard to
have n rule passed to allow summer
baseball , but was outvoted. Some
sensational exposures of the present
condition of college baseball were
made by Nebraska In support of its
contention that the present rule IH
unjust.
If the result of the preliminaries to
the Missouri Valley conference meet
held yesterday Is any indication , Ne
braska and Kansas will have about
an equal chance for the laurels at the
meet today.
Turner , Grinne'l's famous sprinter ,
and Campbell , Iowa's mile man , were
ruled out tills morning on account o (
