 The bridge is to be a swinging de sign, and the passengers will be, not wheeled, but swung across on immense platforms suspended between sky and water On either bank of the Seine at Rouen there have been erected immense towers 175 feet in height. From these towers great steel cables are to be strung which will support rail=laid track. This is all there is to be of the bridge proper, and no one but trained gymnast could cross it without danger of falling into the Seine, 160 feet below. The passengers are to be carried across on huge platforms that will be sus- pended from the track of the bridge by strong chains Wheels to which these chains are attached will run along the track and carry the platforms. swing ing gently to and fro during the pass age, to the opposite side. The motive power is to be electricity.
 The platforms, which will swing few feet above the surface of the river, are to be constructed to carry wagons and street cars as we'll as pedestrians. It Is claimed that noG less than 1000 persons could be carried across at one time. The oscillating movement of the carriages as they are swung across the river will provide novel sensation to the passenger, while the close proximi-

An un1uckx Helmet.

A curious circumstance was con nected with Younghusband's death. After the battle of Cawnpore he had purchased at auction a very smart hel- met, which had been the property of Lieut.. Salmond, of the Gwahor cavalry, who had been killed at Cawnpore. This helmet g. good deal excited my envy and admiration and as I had not possessed decent headdress since the mutiny be- gan, l had asked friend to buy it for me at the auction of Salmond's s effects. But poor Younghusband outbid me. At his sale was again outbid, and the hel- met fell to the nod of Lieut.. Havelock. a nephew of the general. He, too, was killed wearing it; and rumor subse- quently said fourth officer had bought it and had been killed. Itwas strange coincidence, and as these deaths oc- cured quickly one after the other, I ceased to wish had been it's possessor. -"odd Memories" by Gen. Sir Hugh Cough.

GOLD MINES IN SIBERIA.
Scenes That Will Probably Be Du-

The Two Regions in Which Are Found the Richest Placer Mines in the World Lie in Almost the Same
 Northern Latitude.
rConYright. 1897.1

It is a rather remarkable coincidence that the two regions which contain the richest gold plaeers yet discovered should lie in almost identically the same northern latitude, within three degrees of the Arctic circle. refer to the recent Klondike discoveries of Alaska and the enormously rich placers of the Olekminsk district in northeastern Siberia. Both regions occupy the basins of rivers flowing in- to northern waters and lie within the zone of almost perennial frost.
 While the identity of latitude of these two regions is purely coincident,

Lemarchand's homeless sar-
dimes go well at lunch-we've
had such a continuous run on
them that we have been forced
to duplicate our last large order.
Our present stock may not last
until the next arrives.
The whole world boasts of the
jams, preserves and pickles put
up by Crosse & Blackwell and
j. II. Morton. Our stock con-
tains everything put up by these
well-known firms. The last lot
arrived by the Routenbeck and
are absolutely fresh.
We have goods from the
French factories that commend
themselves. Lemarchand's high
grade mackerel in oil is one of
them. These are timed in the
same manner as his famous sar-
dimes and are a rare delicacy.

Lamp novelties are new to
Honolulu-new to the United
States until smart Frenchman
employed at the factory con-
ceived the idea of building for
oil what others had done for
candles.
Look at the illustrations in
the accounts Of swell dinners
and you will find beautifully de-
signed candelabras-a year ago
they were for candles-now for
lamps. You will find the same
thing in our Eva window and
no other shop has them-no
other dealer handles them as we
do, because our buying methods
are modern. Sore our selling
methods. You can get ban
quet candelabra lamp at our
store for about what you pay for
a single burner in some places.
That's the difference in the
methods.
You are interested in those
lamps even if you burn cleo
tricity-the table can be decor
ated with flowers and lamps
dishes come under the head of
necessities"
Half the pleasure of night
wheeling is in having a good
lamp. Policemen are alert to
find a man taking a dark ride
sometimes the light jolUs out and
the rider finds himself with
out a match. No such trouble
with the Banner bicycle lamp
it is made to burn and stand
hard knocks.

THE CURTAIN DROPS.
The Dimond Divorce Case Finally
Ended.


The cause celebre OF the season has
been brought to a finish. The Di-
mond Divorce case is ended, and w.
w. Dimond and Honolulu will not
know "Jane" any more.
Mrs. Carrie Dimond left by the
Peru this afternoon for San Fran
cisco where she has received an en-
gagement from some theatrical com
pany.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
w. w. Dmond secured an absolute
divorce with custody of the child
few weeks ago in the Circuit Court
and that the attorneys Of the lady
noted an appeal to the Supreme
Court.
Better counsel has prevailed, how
ever, and the appeal has been with
drawn and the case dropped. The
injured husband acted very gener-
ously in the matter and agreed to
the following terms:
Mrs. Carrie Dimond to leave the
country by the Peru, and to with
draw the appeal of the divorce suit.
She to assign her life insurance of
$25, 900 to WV. Dimond. He to pay
to her one thousand $4,000 dollars
to be disbursed as follows: passage
money, 500; draft on San Francisco,
$3.50; cash, $50 Ito be haded to Mrs.
