A WAR AGAINST SMOKE.
&c. Louis Graphing with the Smoke
, Suisance-A Now Bridge Across
the Mississippi.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 24.-In a group of
business mon smoking cigars after din
ner at the Mercantile club the other
afternoon, the statement was made by
a manufactures that the city would
spend fully a quarter of a million dol
lars in testing smoke-preventing de-
vices this year. He meant, of course,
the manufacturers of the city who have
Joined the club which intends to clear
the air of the smoke. This club got up
the bills organizing the city crusade
against the smoke nuisance, which the
Mayor has just signed. The laws es
tablish bureau with inspectors, whose
duty it is TO prosecute those who will
not use smoke preventing devices on
their furnaces A popularity of the
law that distinguishes it from those
proposed in other cities is that any in
yentor can have his device tested and
its merit decided upon by board of
experts paid by the city. The club
hopes torid the city of half of its smoke
cloud by the beginning OF summer.
Ever since the Merchants bridge
was completed it has been seen that
st. Louis would have to have another
one to cross the Mississippi for the
specisl use of foot passengers and
vehicles. The Eads bridge built up
East st. Louis, and the Merchants
bridge made Madison and Venice grow
into tiourishing lows. The people OF
these two towns cannot get to st.
Louis on foot or by vehicles. They
must use the regular trains of the Mer-
chants Terminal Company, or wait for
slow ferry-boats. They want bridge
over which electric cars can run, and
people can walk. The bill now before
Congress provides for this kind of a
bridge, which is to be built by St.
Louis men at cost of about $500, 000
Mayo Noonan has just signed bill
that Will give st. Louis another cleo
trio street railway before the crowds
begin to fill the city for the
Fall Festivities. The road will
run along Grand Avenue, one
of the widest and most important resi-
dence throughfares of the city. 1t will
enable one to ride from the cemeteries,
to the Grand Avenue viaduct, and
across that to Tower Grove Park. The
road will cost half million dollars,
and will be built entirely by St. Louis
capital.
The st. Louis Turner societies are
noted all over the United States for Their
gymnasts. There are six turn halls in
the city, and the membership of the
societies is over 10000. About five
hundred of the best of these gymnasts
are being drilled for exhibitions at the
Worlds Fair. The corps will include
all the young athletes who participate
in the events on the Turner nights at
the st. Louis exposition, and there will
be besides, n specially drilled body OF
hundred men or SO who are known
among the Turner's everywhere
as prize-winners in the national
competitions. The corps will go to the
Worlds Fair prepared to issue and re-
ceive challenges for all sorts of feats of
strength and skill, and they hope to
engage in competition with Turner's

theatres here in the old-fashioned
Sedan chairs. the unexpected appari-
tion OF which, with their quantity at
tired chairmen, in one of the more
ancient tortuous streets relegates one
back for at least century. These
dimly-lighted, long, narrow, winding
thoroughfares would appear to be
slightly dangerous at night time,
judging from their being regularly
patrolled by helmeted horse-guards
with drawn swords, who, from the
slow pace at which they move, have
been irreverently nicknamed tor
toises' by the Portuguese. Why the
latter have given the name of mus

posted after dark with their loaded
rifles at the end of many of these
thoroughfares Is less compre-

TRANS-MISSISSIPPI CONNER

Objects That Have Been Sought by the
Trap. Mississippi Congress.


Mr.: 0. W. Crawford, Secretary of the
Commercial Congress,
was at the Paxton Hotel yesterday, and
talking to Bee reporter said:
The first meeting of the Transmits.
sippi Commercial Congress was held in
Galveston, Texas, the next in Denver,
Colo. At this meeting there was rep.
resentation of about 1850 delegates.
From every State and Territory in the
West the business men came TO discuss
questions of public economy and com.
mercial interest.
The meeting following was held in
this city, and the enthusiasm exhibited
by the delegates in considering trans.
mississippi transportation, retaining
of arid lands, deep water outlets by
way of the lakes to the Atlantic and by
way of the Gulf of Mexico to all the
world showed how deeply these gues.
tons have been studied and how acute
is the interest of the whole people in
these subjects. The next Congress wa.
held at New Orleans last February II
was most successful meeting. The
most active business men, the most
profound thinkers, the greatest de.
baters met there and discussed ad.
ditional questions of public policy
and commercial good. Returning
freights, north and south railroad
rates, export OF grain by way of the
gulf, Nicaragua Canal, Mississippi
River improvement, deep water ports
on the gulf, the place and uses of sill.
yer from monetary standpoint, free
coinage, the obligation of the govern.
mcnt to irrigate arid lands, were some
of the subjects canvsssed cxhaustiyely
and upon which recommendations to
Congress were made by vote of the
convention.
These congresses are the outgrowtb
of desire on the part of the people &c
express 70 the Legislators OF the
country the legislative needs.
The next meeting of this congress.
will be held April "a, %, 20 and % in
Ogden, L. T. Already the press of the
West is giving voice to the interest OF
the people in this convention. My cor.
respondence shows a strong desire to
have several new subjects discussed at
the April meeting. Free harb6rs on
the Gulf coast, the defensive and com.
mercial interest of the government of
the United States in an interoceanis
water way and manufacturing in the
West will no doubt be included in the
program which will be made by the
Executive Committee
