within 14c range for the first two hours The local

NEW EAST RIVER BRIDGE.
Mammoth Structure Which is to Con-
meet New York and Brooklyn.

New York, May 6.-The early days of
May will see an actual beginning in the
construction of the new East river
bridge, which is to join the two prlncl-
pal sections of Greater New York and
become the twin of the present Brook
Ign bridge. Within the next few days
the first of the huge caissons which are
to be used in building the foundations
of the bridge piers will be tOwed into
position, and the work of building the
piers will begin
The anchorage OF the cables will be
located between 500 and 500 feet back
of the bridge piers at each end. They
will be OF masonry, 100 by so feet, and
together will weigh 10000 tons, or IL
times as much as the main span of the
bridge itself. The cables will be Secur-
ed to them by plates and pins in the
strongest possible manner
The new Brooklyn bridge will be IN
like the earlier one, in that its main
span will be supported by the cables.
The approaches will be separate deck
bridges, and will rest on piers of their
own. II is estima ted that to build the
new bridge, it will cost 81 500 900, and
that with the cost of the approaches,
etc, it will involve the expenditure of
$12. 600 600.
A few statistics of the bridge follow:
Total length, 1900 feet; length of main
span. / sos feet; height of towers, 335
feet; height of bridge at towers, (above
high water), III feet; height of bridge
in center (abOve high Water), 1875 feet;
width 118 feet.

Ia Ieavenworth Times:

From the Leavenworth Times:
A elimination has been reached Of the
unspeakable impudence Of Cyrus Le--
land, and his presumption and arrogant
bOssism are likely to receive a shock
from which they will never recover.
The Dispatch from Washington
which we publish in another column,
CThe State Journals dispatch), indi-
ca ties that the Doniphan county intriguer
finding his ambition thwafted and his
schemes frustrated is resortlng to the
arts of the bulldOZer. He has taken
his slate. Leland's slate, to Senator Ba-
ker with an ultimatum and threat
that Baker must endorse it or be met
with the furious opposition Of Leland
and his gang. Senator Baker is re-
ported and we can well believe it, to
have resented his threat and spurned
his slate.
His influence in Kansas politics has
been q. Sactrous to the Republican cause.
Today the Republican party in this
state is absolutely Disguised with Le-
land and his politics. 1t is the wish and
determination of the best men in the
party and of all the rank and file to be
rid of Lelandism once and forever.
Senator Baker and the two Republi-
can congressman represent the interests
of Kansas Repubicanism and those in
terests are not the interests of Leland
and his gang.
In resisting the intrusion of a Leland
slate Senator Baker will have the sup
port of every honest Republican in the
state. There is a general feeling that
the future of the party depends upon
Bakers standing firm, and his reputa-
ton for manliness and independence
justifies the hope that he viii refuse the
dictation of the boss and lend his in
huence to fill the appointments with
the best and trueSt men, utterly regard
less of the trades and intrigueS of Le-
land.
Leland will find he has man to deal
with who will not sacrifice his rights
and dutieS-a man instead of a crea-
ture of his own to be moulded and bull
lied at his pleasure.

MEN HAVE THEIR vAN1r1Es.

IFrom the Chicago Chronicle.l
''Why do men talk so glibly of the
vanity of women?" asked a Michigan
avenue dame the other day. DO they
fancy that they are superior to such
weaknesses as distinguish their fral
sisters-fOndness for dress, for jewels,
for display generally? If that is their
idea they have but a poor knowledge of
their own sex-Of themselves, in fact,
for no man is without his Vanities and
they are just as conspicuous as are
those of women. A man never seems
to have grown too old or too ugly to
arrOgate to himself admiration that a
woman in her palmiest days would
hardly dare claim. That crease in his
trousers weighs so heavily upon his
mind. He is never, 1 can see, perfectly
assured of its perfection, unless the
trousers are just home from the tailor
Imagine a woman getting into
street car and hardly settling herself
before she begins pulling at a seam in
her gown! How tenderly he bitches it
into correct position. He dOes't mind
in the least showing his ankles, and q
mans ankles-ye gods! what sights to
see, even the best dressed pair going.
Surely it must be that vanity prompts
him to show them, a or indifference,
which amounts to the same thing. I
often wonder why a sight of his broth
er's does not warn him to keep his own
well covered.
In all matters pertaining to his toll
ct he is equally assured. 1 don't sup
him to certain places without that dress
suit He would not think it a much
greater crime to rob a bank than wear
a last years tile. He talks a good deal
about cOmfortab BILE Shoes but I notice
he falls right into line with the latest
shoe bulldog or whatever it may
be-regardless of price or comfort.

II TAKES MONEY.

The LeavenwOrth reunion managers
have at last discovered that a state
G. A. r. reunion cannot be run with
wind. The Leavenworth Times today
says:
THE meeting Of the board Of directors
of the Apple Carnival association IN
Justice Bonds office last night was not
as well attended by business men as
the importance of the situation war
ranted. All told there were p persons
present, three of whom were members
of the WOmen's Relief Corps, who Will
assist in conducting the ladies' depart
ment of the G. A. r. reunion. There
should have been an attendance of at
least 100 of the leading business men of
the city.
1T is no small matter to undertake TO
carry to q successful termination fes-
tival that will last a whole week, where
probably $4,000 veteran soldiers WAL
have to be provided with tents, fuel ana
water, and protection as well. At the
same time provision must be made to
entertain perhaps 10000 strangers and
visitors.
There was a general feeling among
those present last night that the bust
ness men are not giving the reunion and
carnival the proper encouragement and
one of the active workers on a com
nittee suggested that it would be bet
ter right now to give up the idea of
having a reunion and turn it over to To-
peka if there is not more prompt and
hearty cooperation on the part of the
business men. Chairman Bond said it
was possible these gentlemen did not
understand the situation; that if they
once get awakened to the fact that it
cost Topeka $4,000 to have the reunion
last year without any carnival attach
ment they may consider it worth while
to take more interest.
Topeka business men subscribed
1900 to start with
Topeka spent $4,000 last year, and
this year will spend $4,000. We do so
without groaning. too. The reunion
would better have come here.
