One of the most remarkable feats OF
engineering on record is just com
pleted, and the passenger entering
New York from the north now rides
over one of the grandest examples OF
steel railway construction yet accom-
plished in this age of marvellous results
in that direction.
Going south, at One Hundred and
F%orty-ninth street, the tracks Of the
New York Central begin to rise gradu-
ally, and at One Hundred and Thirty
Fifth street they cross the Harlem river
on the new four-track steel draw
bridge, ut an elevation OF "a feet above
high tide.
This massive structure Is remarkable
in being the first four-track draw
bridge ever constructed, and Is the
largest bridge of the kind In the world.
1t is 400 feet long and weighs $500 tons.
The draw-bridge is IS feet 6 inches wide,
from center to center of outside trusses,
and is carried on three very heavy
trusscs. Between the central and each
of the two side trusses is a clear space of
90 feet, which permits the passage of
two sets of double tracks. The floor is
corrugated, and the rails are bolted to it
on steel tie plates. The trusses of the
draw-bridge span are Ga feet high in
the center and 25 feet high at each end.

George Washington as a Model Man OF
Business, Order and Law-Tru hful, just,
humane.
Washington was eminently a prac-
teal statesman. His mind was of the
solid, practical order. In the Old South
church in Boston | have seen, in his
own bold and clear handwriting, the
expense accounts which he kept in the
revolution, down to the shillings and
the pence. He was no theorist, the
author of no new idea or system in gov
crnment. He left TO jefferson TO
enunciate the great ideas of liberty IN
the Declaration of independence and
to Hamilton to inaugurate our great
system of finance. But when it canle
to practical administration and execu.
tive duty he was a model of business,
Of order and law. Here his great rule
and guide "a the conscientious per-
Torrance Of public duty. Naturally
conservative in his ideas, the suprem-
acy and authority of law and govern
ment were ever uppermost in his mind
and purpose. When in his second term

contents, after fair warning by his
proclamation, continued TO resist the
collection of the tax and to resort TO
mob law and violence, he promptly
called out $1,000 militia from the neigh
boring states and repaired to the scene
of action, ready TO take command and
crush the incipient rebellion with a
strong hand. But Ibis show of power

II, was enough, and the lawless ele-
ments retired abashed, as they always
Will, when confronted by a leader who
dares to shoot and TO kill.
But Washington not only recognized
MS obligation to the people and TO the
law, but he was ever mindful of the
sui higher obligation to the principles
OF justice and humanity. TO be truth
iul, to be just, to be humane-these
We're the bright jewels in his crown of
Character. 1t is a fact most interesting
and impressive now TO recall, after ali
our great troubles and conflict over the
slavery question, that he left his solemn
testimony against that institution in
words which ought to have been needed
by his countrymen. As early as I7a6.
just after the revolution, he wrote:
There is no man living who wishes
more sincerely than | do to see a plan
adopted for the abolition of slavery.
But there is but II proper and ef-
fectual mode by which it can be &C.
complished and that is by legislative
authority, and this, SO far as my suf-
frage will 60, will never be wanting"
And these noble words be put into
practical effect by the emancipation Ut

viding for the support Of the aged and
infirm among them. and giving the
