NORTH RIVER BRIDGE PROMENADE

In Saturdays Evening World" there
appeared an interview, obtained at the
offices of the New York and New Jersey
Bridge Company, in which the feasihil-
ity of having promenade along the
coming North River span was admitted,
1t was said. however, that n public de-
mand would probably be necessary to
secure the planning and building of.ths
desirable feature OF the bridge.
There can be do doubt of the pleasure
which the public would take in the
promenade proposed. 1t would be one
OF the most magnificent walks in the
whole world. There would be health
and inspiration for the pedestrian at
every step. 1t would be almost crime
should the bridge be finally built and
the promenade omitted.
Public desire creates public demand.

ONE Is TOO MANY.

Some Brooklynites think they know
the fellow santo, whose dagger has
plunged the French Republic into grief
and sent a shudder through the entire
civilized world They think he Is an
italian who taught languages on Fulton
street In brooklyn awhile ago.
Santos will probably multiply now.
We may expect soon to hear OF as many
Of him as we heard OF Charlie ROSES
when that sensation was in bloom; or
Tascots, after the Smell murder In Chi
cago. or Bill Daltons. since the Sheriffs'
posses in the West began killing OF that
able and abundant bandit.
We don't see. though, why anybody
should care 10 be responsible for an ex-
ira Slnto. We hope Brooklyn never
knew him and that the Stars aud Stripes
never foatod over him. one Santo at n
time Is enough on this planet. and the
sooner he Is showed off the sweeter the
air Will be and the more joyous the sun
light.

Fancy Making Them Upi

From sixty to seventy beds are in con-
slant requirement at Windsor Castle for
the Sovereign's family. The grandchil-
dren and great-grandchildren all belopg
to her. and all live with her. instead Of
dwelling in separate residences With
their parents. Her stock Of princesses
Is so large that she gladly welcomes
any suitor, rich or poor royal or other
wise that comes along. and gives him .
handsome fortune from her heaps OF
gold and diamonds in the castle lookup.
She is served at table and accompanied
when donkey-driving by Indian princes
and Highland chieftains Of the highest
rank. clad in the costumes of their
country. Small wonder, then. that Her
Majesty excites the greatest admiration,
combined with curiosity, whenever she
travels, and that deeply interested
crowds collect in any spot where there
is a chance of seeing the great Quesn
pass.

Summer Drinks.

ton that has a measure OF flavor for
all. Keep lemons. Ice and loaf sugar on
hand and spirit lamp on the dining

have to be consumed to make the
drlnker sallow. but better the hide Of a
