There were few Developments yes
terday in regard to the Vaughans bridge
mystery. The identity of the writer of
the note found on the bridge week ago
Sunday, is as far from establishment as
ever; and no body has yet been found in
the harbor. Sunday afternoon mat
tress was seen floating in Fore river by
Engineer John St. Clair and Fireman
Griffin of the Boston & Maine, and there
are some surmises that it may have been
this which terrified the little Cummings
girl the day before. But she is quite
positive that it was the body of woman
which she saw. Additional evidence is
given by Willie Carey, aged Is years, who
lives near the kerosene works. While
crossing Vaughan's bridge, Sunday, he
saw what he supposed was the body of a
woman floating in the water. He hasti-
ly returned to his home and told his
mother what he saw. His story in de-
tail corrobarates the story told by the
Cummings girl The Carey boy was SO
overcome by the sight that he was taken
i'll. The boy is positive that it was the
body Of woman.
Last week woman, whose attire pro-
claimed that there had recently been a
death in her family, called at two houses
near Cash's Corner and solicited en-
ployment as servant. She was unable
to secure place.
A passenger on Mr.. Skilling's bargere-
called in passing over the bridge yester-
day morning, that short time before
the note was found, a young woman of
about twenty-years of age, well dressed
in dark clothes, had been seen slowly
walking on the bridge and looking over
into the water.
The authorities have apparently taken
no action in the matter.

THE EVENING SCHOOL.
1t Will Be Held in the Ward Room in the
City Building.

The committee on evening schools met
in the aldermen's room last evening.
Mayor Ingraham was present and signi-
fed his willingness to allow the use of
the large room in the basement of City
Building, now used as a voting room for
Ward 8. 1t is large room, capable of
seating an hundred persons, and can
easily be divided into two rooms by
temporary partition. 1t is frescoed,
heated by steam, and lighted by electric
ity. 1t was voted to accept the mayors
offer. 1t was also voted to hold a joint
meeting with the school committee next
Wednesday evening, when the question
of teachers and the date of opening the
evening school will be determined. 1t is
probable that the school will open next
Monday evening, and be in session four
nights in each week, from o'clock I'M
til 9-Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and
Friday.
The committees are working harmoni-
ously, and already much enthusiasm has
been manifested on all sides at the as
sured success of this important move
ment.
In order that some idea of the number
desiring to attend the evening school may
be ascertained, the committee desires
that all such persons meet in the alder
mems room, City Building, next Friday
evening, at 7.30 O'Clock, at which time
their names will be taken.

Meat and Water Dict Gives Strength.

Sir Francis Head tried the diet of the
Pampas Indians, which consists of the
flesh of mares. for these savages eat
neither bread, fruit nor vegetables. He
says:
After | had been riding three or four
months, and had lived on beef and water,
found myself in a condition which can
only describe hy saying that felt that no
exoltion co,.ld kill me, although con-
stantly arrived so completely exhausted
that could not speak; yet a few hours
sleep upon my saddle on the ground al
ways SO completely restored me that for
week could daily be upon my horse
before sunrise, could ride till two or
three hours after sunset, and have really
tired tc-. :. swei, horses day. This
will explain the immense distances which
ncc,,...o in South America are said to ride,
which am confident could only be done
on beef and water.

An omcer in tho Militia.

"Did it over occur to you" said a West
Point graduate and national guards
man the other day, "what it means to DO
a popular officer in the national guard?
Something quite different, assure you,
from being a popular officer in the regu-
lar army. Why? For this reason: In
the army, if an officer takes care of his
men, sees that they get their clothing
and pay promptly, looks out for their in
forests i'll case they are so unfortunate
as to be locked up in the guardhouse,
no matter how strict disciplinarian ho
may be, or how he may make the men
stand around, he will be popular with
them. But here in the guard the rela-
tionship between officer and men is en-
tirely changed. The rank and file, who
are men that need no supervision of their
i,Srsonal affairs, expect their officers to
be good fellows socially.
IAN oflicer need not be a strict disci-
plinarian to be very popular, but it is
only fair to say that the majority of ma
tional guard officers, especially in some
OF our crack commands, have just as
thorough an understanding of military
requirements as regular army officers.
Everything else being equal, therefore,
the popularity of the inen may be COM
pared as that of man among employees
or among his club equals. l mention
these facts to show how easily regular
army officer could fail to succeed in the
guard, and, vice versa, how impossible it
would be for guard officer, whose easy
going society ways are an essential part
of his success in his rank, to mako q
name for himself in the army."-Brook-
lyn Eagle.

Pedigree of Roston's -Four Hundred"
Every chap in Boston has been run

natured son of the Emerald Isle yester-
day at the North End mission, ''and
some O. them fel!ers up there on Bacon's
Hill, as have been putting their names
in the Foor Hundred lately, ought to be
ashamed of themselves for trying to de-
save people. Sure, one of them that goes

from just the same stock as meself and
has nearly blinded his two eyes looking
for his name in the book of martyrs.

The art frauds that have taken shape
and substance, which remain to incum-
ber the world as false coin ever circulat-
ing from hand to hand, are of all times
and periods. The archaeology of fraud
even has become a science; some of the
overt and acknowledged frauds them
selves have attained the status of pre-
cious and coveted works, more valuable
in the strange gyrations in the wheel of
time than the originals they simulated.

and mutilated, buried in vineyard, and
dug up again himself, all for the express
taking in Il certain cardinal. collector

A Novel Use of Electric Fans.

The little electric motor and the swift
ay revolving fan are familiar objects.
and many Il heated brow has been cooled
by their combination. But the electric
fan has recently found its way into a
strange place, zone other than the tur-
lrets of the powerful iron monitor Mian-
tonomoh, where the company has placed
four OF its perfected fan outfits. These
are not, as might be supposed, to cool
off the gunners, but to blow away the
lsmolfc from the guns. This certainly is
"a novel use for tho electric fan.--Elcc-

To Cut Glass with shears.

A sheet of glass-a window pane for
example---can be cut as easily as IL sheet
of cardboard. The secret consists in
keeping the glass, the shears and the
hands under water during the operation.
The glass can be cut in straight or
curved lines without break or crack.
This is because tho water deadens the
vibrations of the shears and the glass.
II the least part of the shears comes out
of the water the vibration will be
sufficient to mar the success Of the
experiment. IL Illustration.
