or his fondness for clothes. He has just

monts as he ever had. and his hunger for

ANOTHER GREAT BRIDGE TO NEW YoET.
Two Of the biggest bridge projects Of
modern days are closely identified with
New Jersey. In each case one end Of the
span starts in that State. The huge bridge
across the Arthur Kill from Jersey to
Staten Island is completed, although a. yet
very little traffic has passed over IT.. The
bridge from jersey City toNew York is still
in embryo. Congress has the say about its
erection, Just az Congress had the final say
about the Staten Island structure. There
have been lots OF inside squahbles over
that bridge across the narrow but very I'M
portant Arthur Kill. Erastus Wiman Is
credited with the conception OF the enter
prise. He was looking. as he always IS, for
something to boom Staten Island. III whose
real estate ne has most of his fortune IN
vested. Mr. Wiman eagerly jumps at any
scheme that Will add to the financial value

Baltimore and Ohio was expected TO be.
Probably Wiman was the author Of the
enterprise, but he never kept the grp no

Canadian fnancier's big hacker. 1t was 70
Garrett that MimaD gave the finest puOllc
dinner ever given by private citizen ~

the occasion, issued "a month after the ban

manned in the full possession OF his tacul-
| ties the story might have had a different
sequel But the wreck of the Baltimore
and Ohio followed CARROTS mental de

through Drexel, Morgan d Co., got hold of

THE BRIDGE ACROSS THE HUDSON.

necessary. except the one that will get the
proper permission from Congress. The

ready guaranteed. Gustave Lindenthal,

financial backing for the project. lis name

The First National Bank of Jersey City,
one Of the staunchest financial lnstltu-
tions in the country. Mr.. Young has
gradually become recognized "a financler
! of unusual ability. His careful and skill
| ful hand has been perceptble all along.
| There has been none Of the haste and I'M
petuosity that characterized the promoters
of the Staten Island scheme. Everything
was in shape all the maps were carefully
drawn, and every preparation was mace
before the scheme was announced IN
fact no intimatiOn Of the project reached
the public until bright Congressman Me
Adoo, Of New Jersey, introduced the bill IN
Congress a few months ago. When II was
submitted il was in condition to be pushed
straight ahead. and the committee report
ed it favorably before those who intended
70 oppose il had time TO pull themselves
together
THE DETAILS OF THE SCHEME
are familiar already. more or less, to the
public. The bridge starts at hoboken'
near the terminus of the Delaware, Lack
awauna and Western railroad. and termi-
mates at or near Fourteenth street IN New
York. IL is TO be suspension bridge. II
will he $50 feet above high tide and nave
central span of 1850 feet. Its total length
will be 800 feet. little over mile,
and will DO made almost entirely OF
steel and steel wire. The support
inc cables will be fonr in num-
Der. and each will be four feet in diameter.
There will be two towers-one az each end;
They will be 500 feet above tide, and VIII
be constructed of steel lattIce-wOrk on
Granite foundations Tho anchorages Will
each be larger than any OF the pyramids oil
Egypt, and will have tunnels through them
at least 800 feet in length. On computing
the cost at $50, 600 900 1t is estimated that
the bridge alone Will cost Sl6,OOO,OOO, the
approaches $1,000, 900. and the right of way
Sl3 600 900. This IS considered liberal eS,
innate. and il is believed the sum named
will cover the entire expense. 10 nave

COMPREHENSION and it tor these traits that
President Young receives deserved credit.
That the project will be successful Is the
confident expectation of its projectors. Its
true the English capital that has taken hold
Of the tunnel under the Hudson from
Jersey CITY TO New York will fight the
bridge, and the opposition is already man
fest. But the bridge promoters say they
can overcome all opposition While the
tunuel Is one third completed, the bridge,
