A Bridge Lying Idle.

One of the most costly pieces of property
in the United States now lying idle is prob
ably the great railroad bridge over the Pc
cos river. 400 miles west of san Antonio.
This bridge. which i said TO be the second
highest in the world, was completed six
months ago at Il cost of $l.a00,OoO II was
built by "A private corporation for the use Of
the Southern Pacific company. In addition
to this bridge u railroad track leading to il
was built. shortening the distance between
San Antonio and FL PasO by II miles. Aft
er the bridge and cutoff railroad had been
completed they were visited by President
&. l.. Huntington and a number Of other
prominent officials of the Southern Pacific
company, and the new property was form
ally accepted. In II short time new time
table was issued by the Southern Pacific.
embracing the new cutoff and the pecos
bridge Tickets were issued for that road
via Southern Pacific and Pccos bridge. u
fare of 80 cents being charged every pasScn-
ger over the rev bridge.
After all this had been arranged trains
were started running over the new route.
and the announcement was made that the
track of the old route through the danger
Gus canyons Of the Rio Grande river was
To be taken up. But trains had been run
ming over the new Pccos bridge only two
weeks when thc order came from President
Huntington To abandon the new bridge
and cutoff track and Immediately resume
traffic via the old route. Since that time
not train has crossed the new bridge.
There is much speculation in railroad cir
cles as to the cause Of this sudden and
wholly unexpected action on the part Of

w.n...,-An American National Air.

The necessity for u national air that has
not been either borrowed or stolen was very
clearly apparent during the naval rendeZ-
vous mt Hampton Roads and the subse-
qucnt ceremonies in New York. In those
places if never before, the chilly conviction
struck many a heart, and there was hourly
emphasis of our poverty and musical dis
honesty. When the band on one of the
British ships played God Save the Queen
n young lady visitor was delighted with
what she thought was an international
compliment, for she imagined the bands
men We're playing America" She was
not alone in her error. Hundreds Of Others
then in that vicinity did not know that our
greatest of patriotic hymns is sung to a
stolen tune. and that tune the most royal
istic Of all airs.
There was similar misunderstanding rs
to- other melodies. They're playing Co
lumbia. the Gem of the Ocean" F." said n sol
'iier who from the wharf was listening To
the Blake's band His guess was wrong
They were playing britannia, the Gem Of
the Ocean," but he was only one Of mil
lions who are not aware of the fact that
both words and music of that song were
lifted bodily across the Atlantic. and that
somewhere on the way the word "COlum-
bia" was substituted for Britannia"
Perhaps The star Spangled Banner came
nearer to be generally recognized rs our
own than any Of the other tunes but for
cign musicians did nothing inexcusable
when they discussed among themselves the
indisputable fact that the words only are
American; that the mir is an old English
production still sung in many parts of her

Even Hail. Columbia" that somewhat
crude affair, was not above suspicion, for
it is one of the oldest of Italian songs, not
