A PALPABLE ERROR.

States Deputy Marshals S. D. Smith,
of Wayne, and St. Clair Roberts, of

ers. whereas those officers, together
With Deputy Franklin, had charge Of
the prisoners. The blunder was per-
fectly apparent to most readers, but a
correction is here made, nOtwithstand-
ing. The error is one Of those awk-
ward bulls which occasionally creep
into newspapers through a hasty read
ing of copy.

FOR FREE BRIDGES.
a Resolution to Have Been Presented to
Council. Last Evening.


Council. Last Evening.
Had there been a quorum in Council last
evening, a resolution would have been pre-
scented appointing a special committee OF
two from each Branch, with His Honor
the Mayor. to confer with the directors OF
the two Bridge Companies, with the pur-
pose of bringing about, if possible, some
means of securing free toll for foot pass
engers residing on the Island.
The idea Of the originators Of the plan
is TO have an agreement reached by which
the city would pay lump sum-say 5000
or $1,000 a year-to tfr two Companies. and
the argument is ma&that even the larger
sum would be less than the interest charge
on the stone bridge over the creek or on
the cost of the new bridge which will soon
have to be built at Market street, and that
the city has as much right to secure free
passage to and from the Island as to and
from the South Side

mrakably good, especially the duet Of

New Way of strlnslng Fish.

The ordinary way of stringing black
bass or other fish is to take four-foot
piece of chalkline, tie crossbar OF
wood the size of pencil at either end,
and then, as fast as the fish are taken,
they are put on the line by showing one
of the sticks mp through the gills and
out of the mouth. That method plays
havoc with the gills of the fish, and very
often the fish dies in the water, where it
should have lived for considerable pc
Rod. The way to do it Is to have n
light chain instead of chalkline, four
feet long, and bar at one end to keep
the fish from slipping off. A heavy
niece of wire is attached to the other
end, and sharpened so that 1t may be
passed through the lower jaw from the
outside and out of the mouth. The adj
vantages of this method are apparent.
The fish's breathing apparatus is not
injured, and IL lives for long while,
thereby keeping hard and palatablc.
The chain is a much cleaner stringer,
since it may be boiled at the end of each
trip, and so thoroughly clcensed.--

conceive how great, She has been per-
mitted to be spectator in all the Off
cial functions of the capitals; to make
visits and to receive guests, and, lastly,
to give a high tea. High teas are Sc
lect affairs elsewhere, but in Washing
ton they are promiscuous brushes, in
which half the guests are unlimited,
and the crush was ut it's worst when
the Chinese legation was thrown open,
for suddenly some of the privileged
holders of invitations brought out fam
lilies as large as those of the Mormons
or the Turks.
There is great prejudice among The
Chinese against having photographs
taken. They think photograph brings
bad luck. The superstition does not
seem to trouble the present minister,
however, as he and the whole legation
have been photographed, and recently
Mrs. Yu and the children.
The difficulties of communication
with the Chinese made it impossible to
get the names of the three children
shown in the pictures. The reporter
was told the names were "unpro-
nounceable in English. The boy who
stands alone is si:; years old, and the
two girls, who appear with their
mother, are four and two years old.
The Chinese minister is now in South
America. He is also minister to Peru,
and divides his time between the two
countries. His staff at the Chinese le-
cation consists of two secretaries, IL
attaches and three translators. ONLY
two of the staff are permitted to COM
municate with Mrs. Yu during the alb
sence of her husband.
The Chinese legations house is not
closed during the hot season, as are so
many of the diplomatic stations. The
Chinese do not seem to mind hot
weather. They go from one place to
another as the fancy strikes them, and
make short excursions to the best
known resorts, but there are always
enough men at the legation TO keep
the house open. The younger men If
the legation take TO the bicycle with
ease. On their wheels they wear a COS
tune half way between the bloomer OF
the new woman and the outing suit Of
the man of fashion.-N. Y. Sun.

TUE BOW IN THE CLOUD.

An day long the clouds had lowered,
And the rain had swept the earth,
TIL il lay all fair and lovely
As when God first gave II birth:
And the sunset splendor falling.
Get a rainbow In the sky;
And I learned life's hardest lesson
Az the clouds were drifting by.
For the radiant sunset glory.
Failing on my raptured eyes.
Az the clouds were lifted, thrilled me
with a rare and sweet surprise.
But II life were all fair weather,
AS the fieeting days go by,
We should never know the beauty
OF the rainbow In the sky.
Al the sun seems all the brighter
For the troublous clouds that rise,
So our tears but clear our vision
For the rainbow's glad surprise.
And our hearts are all the purer
For the Fathers Christening hand.
while our faith grows clearer, trusting
Where we cannot understand.
So II hearts were free from sorrow,
Eyes were never filled with tears,
We should never know the rapture
When the Comforter appears
When we rest upon His bosom,
As the passing moments roll,
And the Fathers smile caressing,
Sets rainbow in the soul.
