There will be no more shaky old rigs and no novices or thugs at the wheels, The bureau has nstalled & staft of inspectors to enforce the law, and, pending the reconstruc- tion of the taximeters, cards will be placed in the cabs showing how to reckon the new rate. The rule to follow will be to de. duct 20 per cent from the amount shown on the old taximeter, if there is only one passenger, but the rate will remain about the same if there are three or four persons in the cab. Hackstands will bo designated by signs. ‘Owners of hotels and officers of clubs. may establish stands in front' of ' theiv premises by -making proper application. The new law provides. that no. one shall solicit ‘fares for a public hack cxcept the driver,. when seated on dis vehicle, and it prohibits any ohe riding on the seat wit,n the driver. Architect W. B. ’l‘alley, acting for M. F. Hetherington, last night let the contract for the new Tele. gram building, to be erected cor- ner of Main street and Massachu. setts avenue, Marshall & Sanders being the successful bidders, The cost of comstruction will be about $15,000. While the bids of other contractors were above this amount, the figures were pretty close togeth- er, there being only an inconsider. able difference between the highest and lowest bid. Work will be be- gun at an early date, and it is an. ticipated that the Telegram will be in {ts new home by Jan. 1. The building will front 26 feet on Main street and will run back 120 feet on Massachusetts. It will have three floors, the first being a damp-proof basement, for press room, storage, etc., the second floor being devoted to the general offices and work room of the mewspaper and publication business, the third floor having tem handsome office rooms. The material will be of buft brick, the front being of classic de. sign, with handsome stono columns, etc. The floor of the lobby and pub- lic space will be tiled, and folding glass doors the full width of the building will allow the newspaper offices to be shut off in disdgreeable weather or after business hours, from the public lobby.. Every ar. rangement for the expeditious and satisfactory conduct of the main business for which the building s designed has been anticipated, as also for the comfort and conveni- ence of the occupants and tenants. Throughout only the best and high. est clags of material will be used. For some time the business of this institution has been greatly handi. capped by its cramped and incon- venient quarters, which have caused the work to be Adone under gréat difficulties, In the new location it is anticipated that the volume of business ‘ean’ be considerably en. farged and that entire’ satisfaction pl‘lfi' given to all patrons.

THE SAFETY RAZOR New York, Aug. 2.—The secret fs out! The present strike of the 12,000 barbers in Manhattan and the Bronx is the deep, dark plot of !a firm of safety razor manufactur- iers, who, to gain their own selfish ends, are willing that masculine idecldes to use the ‘“hoe” razor, so. called. Was ever a plot so diaboli- cal hatched before? The strikers | profess to sce the fine Itallan hands of the wily “bhoss” barbers in this latest tonsorial upheaval, and ac- cuse the “borses” of being in league with the manufacturers of the safe- ty razor. When a man discovers his favorite barber shop closed be- cause of the strike, he will not per- mit his beard to grow (cr perhaps his wife will not), but will simply go to the nearest drug store and invest in one of the safety machines.

Washington, Aug. 2.—Senator Fletcher, ckairman of the joint con. gressional printing committee, is -preparing to change the methods of doing business at the government printing office, the largest printing establishment in the world, and ex- pects to save hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to the govern. ment by the reforms that he will in- stitute. A bill to revise the printing laws, governing the government printing office, which it is claimed will re. sult in an annual saving to the gov- ernment of $750,000, is receiving careful consideration by both the Senate and House committees on' printing. That it will be favorably reported by the committees, posst. bly at the present session, and that it will be passed by Congress and become a law at the next regular session was a prediction made to- day by members of the senate com. | mittee. ¥ Senator Fletcher, chairman of the Joint congressional committee onm ! printing, 1s strongly in tavor of the bill and will do all in his power to bring about the passage. Repre- sentative Henry A. Barnhart of In. diana, chairman of the House print- ing committee, who has introduced the bill in the House, is also strong. ly in favor of having it enactel into law. One of the clauses in the bill is that in consolidating the offices of i deputy public printer the supervisor of work the title which will be giv- en this official is supervisor of work, and not deputy public printer. Also the bill provides abolition of the folding rooms in both Senate and House, The abolishment of ‘these foldlnz rooms it is expected will save thousands of dollars to the government every year. It will mean the concentration of the dis. tributing of public documents in the government printing office, and will do away with much duplication work . Another big saving to the gove ernment provided for in the bill will be brought about by changing the method of distribution of pub. lic documents to members of Con- gress. In the past the law has pro. vided that each member of the House shall have furnished him a certain number of every public doc. ument printed at the government expense, for distribution as he saw fit to his constituents. A member from New York City was furnished with just as many copies of a docu. ment o farming as was the mem- ber from an agricultural district ia Kansas. The consequence was the New York member had no use for a large number of these documents and they became mere waste paper, littering up the document rooms at the capitol. Al this is to be changed and each member of the Senate will be givea a credit of $2,000 and each member of the House a credit of $1,500, to be charged against the government printing office for pudblic documents each year. In this way each mem. ber will be able to select just ‘those Aocuments for which he has need. At . present unde? the old system,: Ahere are 800,000 obsolete publie documents lying “in the Senate document room, which must be dis- posed of as waste paper. Thres years ago there was a million such documents in the House document room. The powers of the joint congres. slonal committee on printing over the printing office are broadened in the proposed mew law. It will de authorized to go Into the printing office and make any {nvestigation it desires at any time, without further authority from Congress. The bill is a non-partisan measure and has little, if any, opposition ia either branch of Comgress. A reorganization of the printing nitely, and holding street meeting ! office, abolishing many superfluous in the interest of the cause. (Continued on Page §.) re
