posed to build a foot bridge across the

be taken near the bandstand in the park,
where a permanent iron Viaduct was
erected year ago.

except the cross girders of iron. A viaduct
Is feet high would suffice for the purpose.
Approaching from the cable-car terminus
the bridge could slope inward, and at the
other end steps to the turns.iles could be
arranged Il is estimated that viaduct
of this character could be erected Tor a
comparatively small amount. Its con-
struction is strongly recommended at the
Administration building by those inter-
ested in the public safety.
Two new departments in addition to the
system Of policing already IN vogue at the
exposition have been added. These are a
secret service force and stan OF detec-
tiveS.
Fourteen men have been engaged for the
secret service and five as detectives. The
latter will perform the duties usually as
signed TO this class Of policemen. They
will keep watchful eye for pickpockets
and suspicious characters generally. The
uuues OF the secret service force are par

The personnel of this force is a closely

The necessity for such precautions has
been apparent Tor weeks. Every few

AN UNUSUAL REQUEST.
A Husband PrayS That His Wife Be
Allowed AIimOny,

A somewhat unusual proceeding was OBJ
served in the divorce proceedings brought by
A. II. HUI against his wife, Anne W.. which
came up for hearing before Judge Slack yester-
day.
The husband. who is the proprietor of a well.
known coffee saloon on Montgomery street.
charged his wife with habitual intemperance,
and asked 10 be set free from her in order that
he might have the care and custody of theiT
minor child. Accompanying this complaint
was the extremely unusual request that rea-
sOnable alimOhy be allowed to Mrs. HUI for
her sole support.
1t TRANSFERRED in evidence that HUI, who Is
evidently in comfortable circumstances, had
two of his sons receiving their education al San
Mateo College at a cost Of $50 month. and
that since he had been separated from his wife
Hjul had allowed her 500 month. He did
not In the least object TO paying Mrs. HUI any
reasonable sum Tor her support, but live with
her h. would not, nor did he think she was a iii
and proper person 10 have the custody of their
offspring.
Judge Slack spoke very highly of the plain
titfs open-handed behavior, and while allowing
the divorce as prayed for said that under the
circumstances he would make no order for all
mOny, knowing that Mr.. II jul would at his own
discretion see that his wife was well taken

The remark was made by very prominent pro-
fessor connected with one OF the leading New

but it is an advanced form of our old enemy. the

Santa Barbara's odd-looking structure
will be opened by the end of this week.
1t was late in entering the field and so its
location is not so prominent as such strik-

feature of the exhibit is an obelisk of

rich. Santa Barbara is famous for its
lemons, which command a higher price in
the market than those OF any other locality.
This yellow fruit will be shown in all its
golden splendor, and there will be the
usual collection of big beets, turnips and
cabbages.

The FREMONT Cannon.

The Fremont cannon, the property of

seen at the Midwinter Fair, says the Car
son News. Two years ago. when the Vet
eran Guard visited Carson, arrangements
were made to bring the gun here and give
it prominent place in the parade: The
transportation wagon arrived in Glenbrook
late one day and the driver preferred to
wait until morning to put his precious
freight aboard. But the best laid plans
gang aft agley," and when morning
dawned the cannon had disappeared.
There was no trace of its disappearance {;
not mark could be seen to designate
what had become of the piece of artillery.
The Glenbook boys treasured the gun and
were determined that no one else should
have it, fearing that it might never be
returned to them. 1t is eifectually con-
ceaed, and may never again be seen, but
will remain in Glenbrook at any rate, as
no one but those concerned in :he hiding
of the cannon know who did the work,
and it is not likely the secret will ever be
divulged.
