Plan of the Proposed Bridge.
The engineering features of the bridge
were prepared by Capt. L. w. Symons OF
the engineer corps, and the architectural
portion of the work vas designed by
Smithmeyer & Pelz The picture of the
plan here given represents an imposing
structure. Something of monumental
character is given the bridge by the two
central p:ers and the towers arising above
them. These piers are 16o feet apart, and
the towers rise to height of 30 feet
above the water. They are to be of gram
lite, quarry-faced. The roadway of the
bridge is TO be supported by steel arches
springing above high-water line from the
granite PIERS. Near the central towers the
arch spans are 240 feet wide, and next to
the shores they are 1so feet wide.
The Washiny yton end of the bridge VIII
Natory near the extension of New York ave-
nue., while the Virginia terminus will be in
a l:he with the northern gate of Arlington.
The bridge Will support a carriage way
forty feet wide, with sidewalks on each side
ten feet wide Provision was also made in 1

central piers, IL necessary.

1ty with sentiment by building a bridge to
connect Arlington with Washington, serv-
ing as a public convenience and at the
same time standing as a memorial to the
nations soldiery
The project seems to be nearer consum-
nation at this time than ever before. A
bill authorizing the erection of the bridge
has passed the Ser ate, has been favora5ly
reported by the proper House committee,
and is now awaiting passage by the House.
The bill fixes the limit of cost at 5000, 900.
Since 1886 up to the present time the
building of this bridge has been urged re-
peatedly upon the attention of Congress ty
successive Secretaries Of War, chiefs of
engineers, and quartermasters general of
the army. Within brief period the quar-
termaster general of the army, represent
ing not only his own views, but stating
that he spoke by direction of the Secretary
OF W ar, has strenuouSly set forth the entire
1nadequacy of the present means of COM
munication with the large military post of
Aqueduct bridge. and the fact that it would
take twice the time to reach the capital by
means of that bridge in an emergency than
would be required for that purpose under the
conditions presented by this bill.
A Grand and Beautiful Park.
The Secretary of War in 1893 reported as
follows:
Very large sums have been appropriated
by Congress for the construction of roads
to cemeteries, more or less unmportant in
various parts of the country, but a like

tween Washington and the Virginia shore
must very soon be provided. Anot her
bridge is not only a conceded necessity TO
the population of both sides of the Poto-
mac and as an approach to the national
cemetery at Arlington, but also as a mill
tary convenience to bring the principal gar
rison of the national capital within easy
reach of its streets and public buildings.
Twice l have submitted the suggestion
that such structure can easily be made

as our single shaft to Washington is the

1t is not proposed that the embellishments
of the bridge shall now be provided for.
but it is urged that it's ultimate memorial
character shall be considered in the first

From the San Francisco Call.
Hermits who make their homes in the
caves and forests of California are plentiful,
but hermit who makes his home on the
water is not so common. The first one that
has ever been seen in the bay Of San Fran
cisco is now living in a small scow, ark,
in the cove near Black Point. There he
spends his days, and with the exception OF
an occasional drifting cruise along the
front in a small skiff he never leaves the
home he has made for himself on the old,
battered craft, which is named Southern
Pacific"
Every morning rain or shine, he is up be-
fore sunrise. Climbing a ladder raised
against an impromptu mast he reaches q
small platform. On this he knees and be-
gins his morning orisons. First he sings a
hymn. Sometimes his voice can be heard
chanting the melody at Black Point, and at
other times he can barely be heard by the
fishermen who are waiting the turn OF tide
in Black Point Cove. Then he will read a
chapter from the Bible, and after that he
prays that the kingdom of the Messiah may
come, and that heaven be established
earth. If it is a fine morning the sun by
this time is well up in the heavens and the
sunrise gun has been fired half an hour
previously. The hermit descends from his
lofty perch and pumps out his frail craft in
order to keep her afioat for another twenty.

Telegrnms to Women.
From the Atchison Globe.


The telegraph messenger who keeps his
eyes open has an opportunity to note many
curious phases of human nature. One
told recently that women never opened q
telegram without turning pale, and when
the message was not alarming they looked
disappointed. He delivered about two
death messages day, four birth messages,
a great many business messages ,and once
in a great while a love message that
makes him tired to carry it. lie carried
one recently To young man in town that
read: How are you today, darling?' The
answer went promptly back by the boy,
and Was to the effect: q am better, love-"
He once carried message of death to
colored woman, and after reading ii her
emotions overcame her to such an extent
that she caught the messenger i'm her
arms and soundly boxed his ears. An
other colored woman refused 10 open or
sign for message, but walked the floor
and beat her leart and screamed. suppos-
ing 1t announced a death. When ell the
neighbors lad come in one more venture
some than the rest read the message. 1t
was simply a notice that the woman's
sister would come UP from Learenr.o .orth
that evening to see her.
