Morgan was riding in advance of the

him, even though he had been half eX-
pectinr some such command. He made
no motion to obey it, however, but
bowed and smiled, with perfect assur-
ance and not a sign of fear.
THE senior has nothing to appre-
bend, replied Morgan. 1--WE are only
travellers; we are not highwaymen, and
he can put up his pistols

man, as another fellow emerged from
the scrub with pair of pistols in his
hands, and took place beside the first
one.

The Mexican was so astonished at

THE FIRST IRON BRIDGE.
1t Was Erected Hundred Years Ago ia
Worcester, England.


At the present day, when we are ac
cuStOmed to look upon iron as the chief
constructive material with which civil
engineers and architects all over the
world deal, the first iron bridge that
was ever built is a curious sight. This
bridge, the arches of which were made
of iron, was called 'Ironbridge,' and it
was erected in ITS. 1t spans little
river in the county of Salop, on the rail-
road line from Shrewsbury to Worces-
ter, in England. At the present day
the structure is surrounded by a thriv-
ing little village, which took it's name
from the bridge. Several iron found
ries have been established in the neigh
borhood. The structure was a timid
attempt at what has since developed
into an extensive industry. There are
three supports; two of them are very
small and cross narrow country road,
while the third and largest one spans
the bed of the river. 1t is about ninety
six feet long and weighs three hundred
and seventy-eight tons.
The braces were cast at Coal brook
dale. every bar being composed of two
segments. Stephenson, the great civil
engineer. wrote as follows on the con-
struction of this first iron bridge:
when we bear in mind that the man
ipulation of cast iron was at the time of
its erection in its infancy we can not
help but feel convinced that unblushing
audacity alone could conceive of such
an enterprise, and the intelligence with
which the details are outlined and exc
cuted is equal to the boldness of the
conception" The bridge is constantly
used and is in excellent condition,
fact which disproves all the ominous
clamorings of cranks that the pernicious
influences of rust will sooner or later
bring danger to the iron bridge of to-
day.-Baltimore Sun.

A Bowery merchant is the father of
several manageable daughters. In

of his clerks left his employment

rest of your life" said the merchant.
"I'll be only too glad to take any

Dogs on Railroad Trains.

''You have no idea of the numbe of
dogs we are troubled with on every
train" said a conductor recently. And
the worst part of it is the women will
protest so hard against having their pet
poodles put in the baggage-car. These
orders must be obeyed. but it is diff
cult to make a woman believe it. Their
husbands or children may go in the
baggage-car or anywhere else. but they
can not stand it to be separated from
their dear dogs One woman told me
that she was afraid that a trunk might
fall on 'Fido' and hurt him if he were
put in the baggage-car That reminds
me of what the rest of us called joke.
While waiting for train a woman al
lowed her pet to gambol along the
tracks. Finally, a car backed up with
out making much of noise and took
off the dogs tail. The woman was mad
through and through. She took the
tailless dog up in her arms, kissed it,
and said to the engineer: You big
brute! Why did you do that" The en-
gineer replied in the same strain: Why
didn't you keep your cursed dog off the
tracks" Then everybody laughed ex-
cept the woman. Minneapolis Trib-

RECOGNITION or INDEPENDENCE
Mass Meeting an saturday Thomas
SNEhre.

Mass Meeting Wn saturday AT Thomas
Square.
The Independence Day mass meet
ing at Thomas Square on Saturday
morning was not as large as might
have been expected. There were
probably'two to three hundred people
seated round the band stand, when,
at nearly II O'Clock, the Royal band
played the opening overture.
1t was joint celebration In
measure of the Hui Kalaiaina, the
Mechanics Union and the Liberal
party. That is the Hui first secured
permission to use the square, from
Governor Cleghorn, and the Union
agreed to take part. Then the
Liberal party got permission to use
the grounds, having applied to the
Minister of the Interior. They also
were going to manage the celebration
on their own account.
Some kind of an arrangement was,
however, made between the Hui and
the Liberals, whereby the former did
the donors and the latter furnished
the orators. The result was very
harmonious and happy gathering,
the good nature of which was left
undisturbed by the conduct of the
speakers, who left all party refer
ences out of their speeches.
The Hui Kalaaina's committee
was escorted to the stand by the
band, which, on the conclusion of
the overture, gave up the platform
to the committee and speakers.
Mr.. S. G. Kapono opened the pro-
ceedings with prayer. Mr.. j. A..
Kahoonei, president of the Hui
Kalaiaina, read a brief Introductory
address. Short speeches were made

Hon. r. w. Wilcox was the orator
of the day. He said they were there
to commemorate the anniversary OF
the country's independence, and
should lay aside their political diff
ferences and be of one heart In
honoring that great day. Mr.. Will
cox proceeded with an excellent re.
sumo of Hawaiian history, from the
time of tribal disunion, brought tt
an end by Kamehameha l., up to the
eventful year 1913. when the indie

THE BALL CT NE.

The ball game on Saturday was
not largely attended, owing perhaps
to counter attractions IN other parts
of the city. The Aliiolani and Iwi-
lei played good game up to the
fifth inning, when, the latter team
went to pieces, allowing their oppo-
npnts by little exertion complete
walkover. After the fifth inning
very little interest was taken in the
game, which finally resulted in a
victory for the Aliiolanis by a score
of II to 5.
The following is the official score {:

last night, but there was very inter-

just the same.
The big diamond in the scarf of Mayor
Blanton threw its rays about the room,
lighting up the dark corners with an 80

Aldermen Miller and Mcdowell ar
rived early, but Alderman Wolfe was
somewhat late. Messrs. Fitzpatrick and
Leonard did not venture out.
After waiting until 8 o'clock the mayor
announced that as a quorum was not
in sight, the board, Ignoring Speaker
Reeds precedent would transact no busi-

should resolve themselves into sort OF

The suggestion was favorably received,
and for some time wit and wisdom flowed
in rapid and unchecked succession.

RAILWAY EXTENSION.
Communication to the Board by
PreSiSlen mt Martin.

Several months ago the Asheyille street
railway company asked the city author
tiles for a permit to extend its line from
Southside avenue to the city limits by
way of South Main street. The company
agreed to indemnify the city against all
damages that might occur.
The permit was granted and Jury
ordered to assess benefits and damages
arising from the widening of the street.
The Jury reported, but nothing definite
has been done since.
A communication has been sent by J.
G. Martin, president of the railway COM
pany, so the board of aldermen, asking
that the city attorney be instructed to
prepare the bonds and papers in the case
at once, in order that the company may
begin work. The communication stated
that the contract for the construction of
the railway had been let since June last.
AS soon as the street can be widened
the railway will be extended to the city
limits, and it is highly probable that the
line will be extended from there to Bilt-
more.
AS there was no meeting of the board
last night, the communication has not
been acted upon.
