The Brooklyn bridge is, indeed, mar
vel. Last year 1t carried by the cars 40,
000,00 persons, and of this enormous
number only two persons were fatally iu-
iured. The list OF accidents is equally
meagre, and in most cases the injuries
were found to be due to carelessness on
the part OF the passenger, not OF the
bridge officials. Since the bridge was
made free to pedestrians there is no way
OF telling the number of those who walked
over the structure. But II was the big
gest year for traffic in the history Of the
bridge, an institution in which all the
country has pride.

1t stopped the Fight.

John Kelly Jr. Of Bodie is in the city and
is stopping at the California Hotel. In
former years he was employed OIL the Com
stock, and never tires of relating the strange
scenes which were enacted in his day in
Virginia City.
The most ocular thing lever witnessed
there" he said yesterday, was the de-
nOuement of quarrel between two con-
tractors who had been bosom friends. 1t
occurred that one had loaned the other a
pist0l-an old-fashioDed derringer-which
the latter carried about in his coat pocket
for purposes of defense in case of trouble.
At last the two friends became estranged,
but the borrower of the pistol still retained
possession of the weapon. The breach be-
tween them widened day after day, until at
last it became apparent that personal col
lisiOn could no longer be avoided. They
met at last, and hot words passed between
|. them. Abusive epthets were exchanged,
and IL ended by the one who had the der
ringer saying: Sam. regret it very much,
but l shall be obliged to kill you.
HE drew his weapon and as he was In
the act of cooking it the other eyed 1t and
said: Hold on, Jim, aren't you making a
little mistaken
Not that l am aware Of was the hest
tating reply. But why do you ask?'
We'll, have no reason in particular,
but it appears to me that that Ia my pistol
you have in your hand
The would-be killer lowered his gun and
glancing at It asked: Sam, is that your gun
sure enoughP
That's what 1t is
-" just take it then and defend yourself
L had made up my mind to kill you where
you stand, but I'm blamed if l have got the
heart to shoot man with his own gun.

Faun in his original face.
The eyes are not free from a little tilt at
the outer corner, something remotely Japan
csc in shape, but the color of the iris is sea-
green, the color of an aquamarine stone; her
eyes have all the shifting luster of the sea,
at which she must have looked long and
dreamily, making it part of her being.
From those strange eyes one gets the key
note Of a hayward and commanding genius
which SWANS the woman, perhaps against
her Will. Faun-like, much of the woods and
streams are in the healthy nature of this
woman, whose eloquent blood speaks in her
cheeks, in her general pinkness, for her skin
has fine. healthy, rOseate tint, as if she
loved long walks, horseback exercise, to row
a boat and to take cold baths. Her hair is
prOfuse and curly, dark brown, so she is
neither blonde nor brunette, rather what the
French call chataigDe.

EUGENE Oregon, MAY 5.-The early part
of the journey of the President and party
into Oregon to-day was made in a steady
downpour Of rain, varying from a drizzle
to a light storm. This discouraging state
of affairs did not seem to damien the ell
thusiasm of the inhabitants and they paid
the Chief Magistrate every possible honor
at each place visited. a large crowd, in
Guiding Grand Army men and militia, were
assembled at Eugene to greet the President,
but all their preparations went for naught,
as he was fast asleep in his ear when the
train drew up at that station, nor was he
awakened by the firing of cannon and the
familiar strains of Hail to the Chief" by
brass band. 1t was o'clock in the morn
ing, but the people thought the President
shOnld have acknowledged the compliment
paid him, and they gave free vent to their
Indignation at his failure to appear. 1t is
explained by the Presidents friends that
the people of Eugene had been Informed
last night that the Presidents engagement
for the day made it absolutely necessary
that he should have full nights rest and
that it would be asking too much to expect
him to begin the labor of the day at O'Clock
In the morning. THIS, however, was the
only disappointment of the day.
