EAST RIVER BRIDGE. - Work on the
East River Bridge to connect New York
and Brooklyn is being pushed forward
with vigor. The New York caisson is
completed, and the masons have for some
time been at work on the tower, and the
engineers calculate on laying two courses
of masonry a week until the tower is
completed. These courses are each four
feet in height. The superstrncture has
now reached an altitude of twenty-four
feet above high water, eight hundred
cubic yards of masonry being laid every
week. There are about fifty men employ
ed on the structure, and they are under
the personal supervision uffour engineers,
headed by Colonel Roebling. The stone
comes from Maine, and is stored at Red
Hook, opposite Governors Island. 1t is
calculated at present that supply OF
eight hundred yards Of stone is on hand.
A scow plies between the structure and
the island every day. From this scow
the stone is lifted by steam to the dock,
where at a certain point two tracks come
together. The stone is placed on two
cars and conveyed to the structure, to
the top of which it is raised by means of
steam derricks and placed in proper
position. Then the spaces are filled up
with concretes composed of cement, sand
and gravel Even this is mixed by
machinery. A revolving shaft is used to
perform this operation, which is found to
be much mole thorough and more econ
omical than it could possibly be by hand
Water is poured on in regulated quantities
by one workman from hose, as the shaft
revolves, and mixed with the cement,
sand and gravel, forming plastic com
pound. From forty to fifty yards day OF
this material is used. After this structure
is completed, the next step will probably
be the building of anchorages on the New
York and Brooklyn sides. These will
each be 500 feet inland from the towers,
the New York one at the corner of Water
and Dover streets, and the Brooklyn
anchorage at the corner of James and
Mercein streets. 1t is expected that the
tower will be raised about next June,
everything being favorable to the progress
of the work.-N Y Paper.

large, glaring, red breast-plate, made of
vanished cloth, on which is painted, in
white letters: "Dont pay $500 for your

" Have your hat blocked in time" These

which they advertise. Their continued
employment indicates that this method of
advertising is continued a success.

The Nathan Murder.

Billy Forester, alias Billy Marshall,
alias Billy or Frank Campbell, alias
Frank Harding, alias Frank Howard, the
supposed murderer of Nathan, the New
York banker, was arrested in Washing
ton, d. c. He acknowledges himself to
be Forester but denies all knowledge
of the murder. The rewards offered for
this man amount to about $4,000, out
side of the Nathan murder. of which he
is suspected, but which remains to be
proven. After his arrest he telegraPhed
to New Orleans for his baggage to be
sent to Barney Aaron, New York, and
says he is lately from the South. Billy
Forester, whose name forms one OF his
many aliases, was born in Scotland in
1885, and at an early age removed with
his parents, who were hard-working,
honest people, to New York. Penniless,
he was, like many another honest young
fellow, led into mischief of one kind
and anothef, until he gradually bloomed
forth as full-blown thief, one that
would do almost any thing for the sake
of money. Most of his crimes have
been committed in the West and South,
but not few date from New York City.

risks he will run to do friends service,

since number of his friends were con-
fined in one of the stoutest iails in New
York State. The crime they were in for
was certain to give each along sentence
ard their friends used every endeavor to;
get them out without avail, until For
roster took the matter in hand. One
dark night he went to the jail, and
climbing over twelve-foot outer wall,
cot to the outside door, and picking the
lock of it with tool used for that pur-
pose, he passed into another room, where
he found the turnkey lying on cot
asleep. Going up to him, Forester
very adroitly abstracted the keys from
his belt, and proceeding directly to the
cells, unlocked the doors and liberated
his friends, three in number-all making
their escape without being seen. After
getting his friends out, Forester locked
the cell doors, and going back to where
the iailor was lying, very coolly replaced
the keys in his belt, and going out
through the same door, locked it with
the same instrument with which he had
effected an entrance. Many instances
of his daring are related, but this will
give an idea of the kind of man he Is
-one who takes desperate chances and
generally comes through successful.

RETURN OF Two CAPTIVE GIRLS. The
nature of Indian outrages, which are Of
constant occurrance, is illustrated by a
correspondent in a case of two young
girls brought into a station by the Kio-
was. I withhold their names for obvious
reasons. In June last they were part of
happy family in Texas. One night their
house was suddenly surrounded by the
Kiowas, and dreadful massacre ensued.
The father and mother of the family
were shot and hacked to piecee. The
elder girl of the two to whom Irefer had
a pistol snapped in her face, but was
spared for a worse fate. Her sister,
twelve years old, and little brother Of
six years were set aside while the fends
outraged the person of the eldest girl in
presence of the mangled and streaming
bodies of their dead parents. The house
was then put to the flames and the fends
danced about the ashes of its owners
The two girls and the boy were carried
off to the Kiowa nation mot far from the
post, the girls condemned to Infamous
treatment, and the boy to afford the
brutes amusement in their leisure hours.
Mrs. Tatum, the excellent wife of Friend
Tatum, has the girls now in charge.
The youngest is, I am informed, very i'll;
which, though horrifying to reflect on,
is not to be wondered at. The little boy
is still with the savages, and it is hard to
tell whether they will surrender him or
not. Lone Wolf, who sent the girls in.
expected large ransom; but did not get
cent. He is, therefore, likely to keep
the child. The present commissioners
have, however, determined not to issue
to him or his tribe any more rations un-
til the little captive is brought in, and
this may bring him to terms. Why this
course was net taken long since is to nae
perfectly iIexplicable.

The Working Man.

The noblest men know on earth
Are men whose hands are brown with toll
Who, backed by no ancestral groves,
Hew down the wood and till the sell;
And win thereby prouder name
Than follows king or warriors fame.
The working men, whate'er the task,
Who carve the stone or bear the hod,
They bear upon their honest brows
The royal stamp and seal of God;
And worthier are their drops of sweat
Than diamonds in coronet.
God bless the noble working men,
Who rear the cities Of the plain,
Who dig the mines, who build the ships,
And drive the commerce Of the main;
God bless them for their toiing hands
Have wrought the glory of ali lands.

JERUSALEM. - Jerusalem cannot be
truthtully described as an enterprising
city at the present time. It's chief ma
tive industries are the manufacture Of
soap, which is not largely consumed by
the resident population, and of what is
called Jerusalem ware, consisting of
chaplets, crucifxs, beads, crosses, and
the like, made principally of mother-of-
pearl and olive wood, and sold 20 the
pilgrims who annaully resort to the Holy
city to the number of 5000 or 5000. 1t
also exports olive oil aad grain. The
population of Jerusalem is estimated at
$4,000, of whom about 5000 are Mahom-
etans, 1900 to 5000 Jews, anda the rest
Christians Of various denominations.
The employment of tho people is almost
wholly agricultural and pastoral, but the
vast aud fertile plains around the city are
only partially titled owing to the want of
protection against the predatory excur-
sions of the Redouin tribes inhabiting
the outskirts of the district. A little
cotton of an inferior quality, raised from
native seed, is growing aud exported to

AMERICAN GIRLS. W. Higginson

American girl who had been at school in
France and Germany told me that be-
cause of her nationality she was con-
sidered self-protecting. She was allow
ed to go about more freely than the
European school pirls, and sometimes,
where it became necessary, had fellow
students older than herself put under
her protection as if she were man.
AS a consequence of this, she said, she
was really safer than the others, because
any one of them, if she had accidentally
found herself in the street alone, would
have been terrified and bewildered.
There is nothing that so debilitates as
the habit of being protected"

How TO FAsTEN RUBBER TO WooD

are now-a days used almost exclusively
for making connections between steam

noyance is often experienced by the i'm.
possibility or imperfection of On air
tight connection. This is obviated en-
tirely by employing cement which
fastens alike well to the rubber and to
the metal or wood. Such cement is pre-
pared by solution of shellac in am
monia This is best made by soaking
pulverized gum shellac in ten times its
weight of strong ammonia, when a Shiny
mass is obtained, which in three or four
weeks will become liquid without the
use of hot water. This softens the rub
