vocation of the election law in that
county Tuesday. a Democratic pri-
mary was held with the general elec-
ton, the Democratic election officers

A Long Bridge.

A bridge forty-one miles long would GER
tainly be a novelty, and yet that is the
kind of bridge they are talking OF
building across Polks' Strait. to connect
the Island of Ceylon with the mainland Of
India. The strait is forty-one miles across
in some places. Surveyors have been at
work and the cost of construction Is
estimated at some % 600. 900 rupees. The
plan OF the work contemplates the con-
nection of the ends OF the bridge by las
miles of railroad with Colombo, the great
harbor of Ceyion, and by ninety miles of
road with Modura, the nearest point of
the Indian railway system.-Chicago Chron-

WESTON FAILED.
Ancient Pedestrian Succumbed to
Fatigue at 103 Miles.

New York, Dec. 26.-Edward Payston
Weston, the famous old-time pedestrian,
who started last night in the Ice Palace TO
show to the athletic world that he could
walk l12 miles or very near it, within
twentT-four hours, despite his ffty-eight
years, failed to reach the standard He
stopped at 95630 O'Clock this evening
with 103 miles and two laps to his credit,
performance that is really remarkable
when his age is considered Few men of
half his years would have done as well
The veteran was going like a we'll
regulated machine at p. m, being four
miles ahead of his schedule, with every
prospect Of covering a greater distance by
several miles than he had set out to tramp
Within fifteen minutes, however, his Won
derful strength faltered, dizziness over
powered him and he was assisted from the
track as weak as baby.
Ready hands worked over him under
Doctor Taylor direction, and soon th @ won
derful old man was up again and asking
what it was all about. He resumed his
tramp but at much slower pace, and he
failed to accomplish the task he set out
for himself.

Valuable Pair of Trousers

The hcys of Yale in the old days used 20
bribe the printers devils to get proofs
OF the examination papers for them. When
the college authorities put stop to this
practice, bright idea seized one fellow.
and he saved the whole suffering party.
He hired one Of the printers (it was sum-

The office, and st noon TO sit down on the

trousers sold for a deal more than the
