Very neatly designed special announce
ment cards for the formal opening Of the
new railroad bridge at Sioux City, Iowa,
at 10 O'Clock N, on Wednesday. of this
week, have been received. The plans
for the bridge were approved by the
secretary of war July IA, 1887. and
the work has been rapidly pushed TO
completion. The main bridge consists
of four main spans all made wholly
of steel and resting on one abut-
ment and FIVE piers Of granite masonry.
The entire work embraces about four
miles of track on both sides Of the river,
with bridge approaches, trestles. etc.
The enterprise is great credit to Sioux

A New Industry for Women.

Here, where there are so many ladies
in reduced circumstances, who "have
seen better days." and still want to keep
up appearances, there are many curious
occupations, writes Washington cor
respondent. A novel means of earning
a livelihood is employed by two married
ladies who used to be active in society.
Just when they were in the height of
society their parents died suddenly,
leaving them with practically nothing
to live one. Merely US a matter of
fancy, as some ladies take to painting
or fancy work, one of these had acquired
q knack for making delicious preserves,
and the other rivaled her in her efforts
to please the palate with the extra fine
cake she compounded. When suddenly
thrown on their own resources they put
their two heads together to devise some
means of earning living. After long
talk they struck upon an idea. They at
once set about to give it test. They
went among some of the most intimate
of their wealthy friends, and prof. osed
to undertake the manufacture of pre-
serves and cake for their tables. They
secured several patrons, and so well did
thcy,do their work that they soon had
a reputation for their daint;es. At first
they went to the houses of their patrons
to do the work. Now they have made
a snug little sum of money, and have
extensive demands for preserves and
cakes, which they make to order at
their own house.

Mrs. Cleveland's Double.

Mrs. Cleveland has double in Wash
ineton, whose appearance on the prom
enades and resorts of fashionable people
in the West End is creating much inter-
est and amusement. An air of mystery
surrounds the lady, from the fact that
people generally have no idea who she
is. One thing is certain. She is so very
much like the lady of the White House
that almost every person who passes her
in the street turns to get good look at
the person they suppose to be the Presi-
dents young wife. From time to time
paragraphs appear in the local papers to
the effect that Mrs. Cleveland was prom
enading on Connecticut avenue on Sun
day, or that she was seen taking an early.
morning walk through the West End, or
that she was buying vio!ets in. the mar,
ket. The paragraphs generally con-
cluded with the statement that she was
accompanied by the large dog tRoy,"
recently presented to her. It was soon
learned that Mrs. Cleveland was at none
of the places at which the papers re-
ported her to be. Then it was learned
that the mysterious stranger who SO
closely resembled her was the lady,
who was attracting all the atten-
ton. It is not surprising that the
mistakes were made, for the lady does
look strikingly like BIrs. Cleveland
She is of the same height, and almost
of the same proportions. She has the
same bright face and pleasant smile, and
altogether is quite as good looking even
as Mrs. Cleveland. She Is somewhat
heavier, however, and her hair and eyes
are of lighter shade. This lady is al
ways accompanied by big dog as she
walks about the city, but he is larger
than ''Roy," and better looking dog,|
Last Sunday the unknown lady and her
faithful companion walked out Con-
necticut avenue toward Dupont Circle as
the great crowd of promenaders were
going up and down that fashionable
Sunday thoroughfare. Almost every;
person she meant looked hard at her or
made some comment about how queer it
was for Mrs. Cleveland to be out on that
busy street alone. The lady evidently
knew that she was being stared at, for
she hurried along in an embarrassed
manner, hiding her face as much as pos
sible and looking straight ahead. The
occupants of the White House were for a
time greatly puzzled to know how the
various paragraphs mentioning Mrs.
