New York, Sept 1.-Two young men
walked from the l5oJh street station, along
the viaduct to the new MaComb's Dam
Bridge, over the Harlem day or two
ago, and asked leave TO climb the super
structure

The noo1 bells had Just struck, and Bo-
gan, the engineer, WAS in his little cage
below eating his dinner. The bridge watch
man was away on the same errand- The
engineers assistant told the Young men
that lie didn't know and taking TINS
FOR consent, one of them shed his coat and
nat and started To climb. He wore bicycle
knckerbockers, q shirt, long stockings aud
shoes.
At the first crosspiece the climber took
Jff his shoes, which he dropped to the
bridge. Then he resumed his climb, and
presently was seen at the top 0. the second
stringer.
INTO THE RIVER.
A little group OF persons had by this time
gathered on the asphalt footpath below
watching the climber lie was pretending
20 measure the altitude to which lie had
attained. Suddenly the watchers saw him
stand erect on the summit of the second
truss. Z,
Il loser he shoIted down
Then the watchers on the bridge saw him
raise his hands and jump into the air. He
floated out like a bird. clear of the bridge
and twenty feet beyond over the Harlem.
Then his body sank down, stll preserving
It's horizontal position. until II was within
ten feet OF the water.
Atthis elevat ion he diver suddenly shifted
his position to the perpendicular aud shot
into the water. But 10 sooner had he dig

The diver is Kearney P Speedy. from the
West, and he says he is the champion diver
of the world.
That dive was only light exercise he
said. I've dived lS6 feet into a tank,
twenty feet long, ten feet wide and foDr
feetdeep. This was at SportnIan' s Park, ST.

If Ambassador Bayard would
regain the esteem and applause of
the Republican Congress he should
refer to Shakespeare as a minor poet,
Burke as curb stone politician,
and Wellington as an insignificant
general, in his next address in Eng
land. He should also dwell at
length upon the noble thought and
rhythmieal verse of Longfellow, the
critical and philosophic mind of
Lowell, the mastery craftsmanship
and oratory of Webster and the
skill. courage and perseverance of
Grant and Lee. A few such bonn

PERSIA'S RULER SLAIN
WAS A GOOD MONARCH, SAYS
FIJI. WINSTON.
The Succession to the Shah Likely
to Bring on a Revolution.

CHICAGO, May Frederick H.
Winston. who spent the year Of
1896 Mt Tchcran as United Suites
Minister to Persia, speaks in terms
Of admiration for the murdered
Monarch, who was assassinated
yesterday ms he was entering
shrine for worship.
THE. death OF the Shah is to he
depIered," Mr. Winston said He
was kind hearted, intelligent and
ffllef with progressive ideas that
would have benefited his country
immensely had he been permitted to
carry them out. He assembled the
throne when a boy with the limited
education in mathematics and
Persian literature gained in the
native schools, and possessed of the
idea and barbaric notions gained
from lack of contact with eiviliza-
ton, it being an unwritten law in
Persia that the heir apparent shall
not live at the capital city.
After taking the throne his charc-
ter changed and he developed into
a civilized ruler, anxious to improve
his county" Mr.. Winston described
the Shah as very exclusive in his
family life, always dining alone at
the palace and never deviating from
the customes of his country in the
management of his household The
Shah's ruling passion, Mr.. Winston
said, was for hunting To crafty
his love for this sport the Shah
maintained large game reserves
which he visited every summer.
Speaking Of the question OF
succession to the vacant throne Mr..
Winston expressed the belief that n
revolution was among the possibili-
ties for Persia. The oldest son is
not the heir apparent, owing to the
fact that his mother was not of
royal blood.
.sThis son" Mr. Winston said, lis
about thirty.four years old and
very popular among the army OIL
GERS. He is highly educated, man
of bonndless ambition and great
energy and is imbued thoroughly with
ideas as progressive as his fathers.
For years he has been a close obser-
yer of foreign affairs and has special
agents travelling all over the world
TO aid him to keep posted on the
worlds progress. MT knowing the
circumstance under which the assasi-
nation took place, | am not justified
perhaps in predicting any trouble of
a revolutionary sort, but l cannot
help but apprehend something of
the kind when [ remember the oldest
sons characteristics His head
quarters are about two days jour
ney from Teheran and if he should
choose to move on the capital with
the army behind him he could reach
there a week before. the heir APP
parent could reach the .ity"

iSTL YER IN MIC HTGAN

Considerable surprise was created
in the silver camp by the Michigan
State Democratic Convention which
refused to declare for free silver, 16
to l The Democrats of Michigan ha ye

the result that the anti-free silver
in the election amounted
to SO, 487.
