There are three steel arches, the center ons having a span of 52O feet, and each side arch a span of 502 feet. Each span has four parallel arches or ribs, and each arch is com posed of two cylindrical steel tubes, IS inches in exterior diameter 0Ue acting as the upper and the other as the low CT chord of the arch. He tubes arc in sections, each F feet long, and cen

These up- per and lower tubes are parallel and l2 feet apart, connected by a single system of diagonal bra0ng.

Mayor Hewis, and the American Party

4 committee of tho American party, of New York State, recently called upon Mayer A. s. Hewett, of New York, and presented a resolution of thanks and approbation for his patriot ic sentiments regarding American cit izenship, home rule and the probation of alieRs as expressed III recent pub lie address. Mayor Hewitt in reply disapproyed of the American party putting Presidential candidate in the field, He thought that the Amer iean party could do better service by spreading good American principles through the country and bringing the people to sec the wisdom and duty of paying little more regard to quss. tions that called more and more ur- gently for solution with the arrival of every ship-l0ad of immigrants. In the past unrestricted immigration, he said, had undoubtedly been a good thing for thls country, but the time had new come to place some restraint upon the wholesale manufacture of American voters. He thought that a residence of fourteen to .wenty-one years should be expected from aliens before admitting them to citizenship.

The secret of success.

ImproYldence is the bssetting Amer ican vice. No other civilized nation Tn the world has SO large proportion of men, young and old, who live up to and beyond their income. In no other country does the versatility of the people and the wide range of opper- tunity conduce to such frequent changes of vocation as are seen here. Our people are net lacking in "dig. We are, as race, great workers. But our restlessness and ambition to get on rapidly lsad to frequent changes, and the saving habit is not now so characteristic as the spending habit. For tho mere amassing of wealth, Hamerton is right in saying that "the instinct of accumulation is worth all rules in the world."-N. Y. World.

Shoe and Leather Reporterl
 An American woman who attended the funeral of the German Emperor in company with her son, a lad of eleven years, says: 1t was a shock. ingly managed affair. We came near being crushed to death was hus- tied one way, my boy another. For hours I was frantic in the crowd, without being able to stir hand CT foot. A gentleman had tho boy with him, but the excitement of the mob was so great l feared be couldn't hold him. Women were killed one old lady was walked right over; g horse was thrown down and tramplsd on; one man put his hand up to reach for cane q friend was trying to hand him, and he couldn't get his arm down again for upward of an hour. We saw all tho pageant and came out safely, but we waited from to s a. m. for 1t to be- gin; then came ths rushing and crush ing. At 10 o'clock the soldiers and police let the detachment pass to which we belonged. At 1o:3o we en- tered the dome; and the sight we saw was some compensation for the trials we endured, but nothing could be worth the risk we took, and never would attempt such thing agaln. A German crowd is not iil-natured in expression, but a man would trampls on his mother if she were in his way. The number wounded and killed was great, but there was not word about them in the German papers; all re- ports of the sort were suppressed.

E.slsnd's Army ans Nary.

Englislmsn continue to excite them- selves oyerthe inefficient state of thelr army and navy, and particularly over the extravagance, waste and jqbbery shown in their management. From revelations recently made there ap- pears to be nott excellent cause for complaint. It turns out that England pays 261 admirats who do nothing at all, and that of these PSI, only fifty could bo employed if one were to be put Tn each of the sea going armored ships Tn which an admiral can make himself useful. The thirteen admirals actually employed in the navy cost f37 500 year, of which they appar- ently earn very small portion. In way of generals, too, England seems very well supplied. They number, all told, 40, and of these log have noth- ing in the world to do. 4 full gener- al who does nothing receives G4,000 8 year for just wearing the title. The great majority of these generals, ac- cordng to Lord Wolseloy, could not be advantageously employed, even ii called upon.--Optic.
