story is told concerning an, old nanny

appreciation of it's merits: "She was an
old woman in a linseywoolsey petit
coat and bright turban, and we found
her in one of our jaunts around the city
and took a kodak picture of her. One
of the company asked her in fun if she

a New Bridge Span.

Preparations are being made to put
a new span in on the big b. & o. bridge
across the Ohio river. The span will
take the place of the one that extends
from the foot of Sixth street to the
first river pier, where it crosses over
the Ohio River R. r. tracks The reason
given is that portion of the old span
is composed of wood and there is dan
ger of it igniting from sparks from the

meath. The new span will be entirely
of iron, and the work will be done by
the King Bridge Co. of Cleveland, o.

QUEENS GREAT DAY.
REMARKABLE JUBILEE PROCESSION
IN OLD LONDON.

Her Escort the Flower of European Mo-
bility and Troops That Came from All
Parts of the Empire-some of the Sol
diers BRIEFLY observation-disclosures All
Represented - Tremendous Enthusiasm.
London, June 23.-The great day Of the
queens jubilee has passed and the
pageant that wound through the streets
of the metropolis of the world was
worthy of the city and the empire Of
which 1t Is the capital. To tell of the
gathering of the royalties and others at
Buckingham palace yesterday morning
would occupy columns. But the first
appearance of the queen was central
feature Of the celebration. The car
riages Of the ENJOYS and many Of the
royalties and other distinguished per-
sons had formed in line and proceeded
on the route of march toward Constitu-
tion Hill when a platoon of the royal
servants lined up on each side of the
great door of the palace, and an in
clined platform from the foot of the
stairs to the place to be occupied by the
queens coach was placed in position
and carefully tested by a Scotch gillie.
After momentary wait a hoarse roar
Of cheers, quickly started by the nation
al anthem played by the band outside,
announced the arrival Of the Prince and
Princess OF Wales.
Sends Message That Girdles the Earth.
The Prince of Wales mounted by the
scarlet covered steps to the entrance of
the palace and then the Hanoverian
steeds slowly drew the queens carriage
into position. AT 11:10 q. m. hustle on
the main staircase announced the COM
ing of her majesty. Queen Victoria
slowly descended the stairs, assisted by
scarlet-clad and white-turbaned In
dian attendant. She was dressed in
black, wore a black bonnet trimmed
with white, and carried a white sun
shade. AT the foot of the stairway her
majesty paused for a minute and
touched an electric button connected
with all the telegraphic systems through
out the British empire, and it. flashed
around the world the message: From
my heart 1 thank my beloved people.
NfGy God bless them"
Sun Shines on Her Majesty.
Her majesty then slowly seated herself
In her carriage, the royal trumpeters
sounded fanfare, the Princess of Wales
Joined the queen and then the Princess
christian of Schleswig Holstein Joined
the party. Both the princesses seated
themselves opposite her majesty and
at 11:12 the queens coach started. Two
gillies in Highland costume, wearing the
tartan Of Macdonald of the Isles, the So
called crown prince Of Scotland, occu-
pied the rumble. AS her majesty
emerged from the portioo the sun broke
brightly through the clouds and the
queen raised her sunshade. The Prince
Of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge and
Duke Of Connaught took up their places
about her majesty's carriage and the
latter took its place in the procession.

Was the Procession That Escorted tho

The queens carriage was about the
center OF the procession as 1T was the
center of interest to eight or ten million
people. The procession was headed by
an advance party of the Royal Horse
guards. Then followed the band of the
same corps, playing the inspiriting
Washington Post March," Close upon
the band came a portion of the pictur-
esque northwest mounted police, as es
cort to the first colonial premier, Hon.
Wilfred Laurier. The northwest po-
lice, men to whom evidently a saddle
has never been a novelty, made a strik-

serviceable-looldng as the New South

and black cock-plumes,
who followed them, escorting the premier
sof New South Wales, Hon. S. H. Reid.
THE Victorian mounted troops followed,
smart, weather-beaten fellows, in I'M
attractive brownish uniforms. Then
, came New Zealand's premier, Hon.

For the moment Australia gave way
and Africa was allowed q chance; the
Cape of Good Hope mounted rifles
well set up men-wearing scarlet, with
white helmets, rode by to herald the
coming of the Cape premier, the Hon.
Sir, j. Gordon Sprigg, K. C.. M. G. Hardly
had he passed when attention was
claimed for the yellowish-brown Khar-
kee, lit with bright scarlet, which pro-
claimed the South Australian mounted
troops. Lean, long specimens of wiry
manhood, they won applause like the
rest, and passed on to give place to the
premier Of Newfoundland, Hon. Sir w.
w. Whiteway. From Newfoundland one
