HARBOR IMPROVEMENTS.

Major Lucknow of the United States
Engineer Corps, who has looked up the
subject carefully, submits two plans for
improving Mt. Hope Bay and the Fall
River harbor. In brief he proposes:
First, to construct a regular ship canal,
25 feet deep and 800 feet wide, to be ac-
complished by dredging across the flats
from Narragansett Bay to Fall River city
and thence along the city frontage to the
dock of the Yacht Club.
The cost of this work, it is estimated,
would be s175,412.
The second project is to build a channel
along the city front between the wharf of
the Old Colony Railroad and the deep
water at the upper end. The cost of this
would be approximately s5s,O6O.
In reporting these plans Major Lock-
now advances the opinion that at present
it would only be necessary for the govern
ment TO carry out the latter plan.
Fall River people generally agree that
the former work is the more necessary, as
that city, the largest cotton goods centre
in the United Ststes, has insufficient dock
ing facilities. AS at present provided there
is maximum draught of only 20 feet and
large vessels cannot make the dock until
high tide. A draught of five or six feet
more is needed with width of at least 300
feet. The interests of the city's commerce
undoubtedly demand these improvements,
although the other plan mentioned is also
greatly desirable. Congress at this mo-
ment, however, is not in particularly
generous mood. 1t may be necessary to
wait some time for either of these two i'm
provements to be made.

A WONDERFUL CLIMB.
Dangerous Feat Accomplished by Two
Young Men In Wales.

Dangerous Feat Accomplished by Two
Young Men In Wales.
A remarkable climbing feat was per-
formed recently in north Wales, in the
first successful ascent Of the famous
"slanting" gully Of Llewidd. on the
eastern side of Snowdon.
This was the gully in which young
Mr.. Mitchell of Oxford lost his life q
few years ago. The present climbers
are two brothers, named Abraham, ma
tives Of Keswick, in the lake district,
where they have acquired their expert
ence. The interest Of the climb began
at the famous "cave pitch. where Mr..
Mitchell fell and where all previous
climbers have been turned back.
The pitch" is so or 90 feet high and
consists of cave srrmounted by a
chimney, gradually narrowing and
overhanging at the top, where it is
blocked by some rocks which have fall
ell from above. 1t took the two climb
ers whole hour to surmount this. On
the overhanging rock they found scratch
es and climbing iron inside the CHM
ney. 1t was probably from this point
that poor Mitchell fell. ll.-London Chron-
icle.

A Yeritable strong Box.

The big safe constructed of steel rails
which for 16 years was used by the
Manhattan Elevated Railway company
in the old Arcade building, in Broad
way, New York, has been demolished
after four days hard work by ten work
men employed by the safe company that
built it. The workmen who were de-
molishing the building found the job
too tough for them. Inside the outside
casing of steel rails was steel cage
weighing many tons. The brick and
stone base, two stories high, upon which
the safe stood, was also removed.

A BI0OTED ACT.

The gentlemen who compose the A. p.
A. IN Maine are very much incensed be-
cause q. A. X. Post In that State attended
In body Catholic Church on Memorial
Day. The A. p. A. men met and adopted
stinging resolutions of indignation that
men who had fought and bled for their
country should attend church the A. p.
A. members do not like.
To the credit OF Maine citizens it must
be said that the action OF the so-called
American Protective Association was
roundly condemned. They received not a
word OF sympathy outside their own ranks.
As display OF concentrated bigotry this
incident deserves to take first prize.

Factories Are Working Full Time and

During the last few weeks a Ger

for Turkish and Greek soldiers for next
Christmas that it advertiscs in German
papers its inability to accept further
orders for delivery within this year.
The makers of toy uniforms, games,
pictures and similar toys are also run
ming overtime manufacturing special
ties illustrating the war. Even the
textile industries are preparing to reap
a golden harvest, and material of every
imaginable description in oriental and

THUGS LOVED MARY.
She Rejected Both and Delivered Them
to the Authorities.

She Rejected Both and Delivered Them
to the Authorities.
Mary Roman IL very pretty girl, OF
10 years, who lives with her parents al
Port Reading, near Perth Amboy, N. j.
That she is intelligent, too, is proved
by the fact that she carefully reads the
newspapers. Some time ago she read of
a highway robbery in a little Pennsyl-
vania town.
Miss Roman was much interested in
this hold up and surprised by its dar-
ing. She well remembered the names,of
the bold robbers-John Harmon and
Joseph Chandos. About a month ago
two young strangers arrived at Port
Reading. They were quiet chaps, we'll
behaved, who said they were seeking
employment. In few days they made
acquaintances, and then they were in
troduced to Miss Roman.
"John Harmon, Joseph Chandos,"
said the mutual friend.
The girl was vastly surprised, but
she made herself believe it impossible
that these two quiet young men were
the highwaymen of whom she had read.
Chandos and Harmon became devoted
to her. When one was not in her So
ciety, the other was. Each made love
to her, each confessed that he had led a
wild life and declared she could turn
him from it. Finally each told her that
he had taken part in that hold up in the
little Pennsylvania town.
Miss Mary kept her counsel, waited
her opportunity. Chandos and Harmon
together called on her on Sunday night.
Evidently they Rad been quarreling, for
they were greatly excited.
lyon must choose between u.s. they
said to the gi:l Zone or the other.
Come now, which will you marry?'
Neither" calmly answered Miss
Mary.
The two became infuriated. They
roughly seized her and threatened her
with their fists.
IF you ever dare to say q word about
u.s." they cried, "we'll kill you'll and
they hurried from the house.
Miss Mary went at once to Perth
Amboy and told Justice Stricken what
she knew of Chandos and Harmon. BY
the advice of the justice she swore out
q warrant charging the pair with dis
orderly conduct. A detective went to
Port Reading and arrested them, and
they were held for the requisition Of
the Pennsylvania authorities. - New
York Journal.

HURRYIN0 ALONG.

At the present rate at which the Senate
is proceeding it is possible that not more
than five or six weeks will elapse at the
most before the tariff discussion in that
branch will be finished. In the first two
days of the debate IL pages of the bill were
completed and the ate promised to be
kept up until the entire 216 pages have
been gone over and thoroughly dissected.
The sooner the end is reached the better,
but this does not imply that the work
should be done in slovenly manner.
There is disposition on the part OF some
to make haste too rapidly. Suoh members
should be held In check, or tho interests Of
the public will be sure to suffer.

NEW DRIVING PARK.

The enterprise and public spirit dis
played by Alderman Edwin Darling de-
serves unanimous thanks. Pawtucket has
today driving park and pleasure ground
superior to any in the State, and perhaps
i'm New England. He has practically
covered the amusement field, for his beau
tifui grounds are arranged for horse racing,
baseball and bicycle riding.
The arrangements are 80 perfect that IL
occasion requires all three of these sports
may be seen at once. The half-mile track
is in perfect condition and is one of the
fastest in this part of the country, and the
accommodations for horses cannot be
,tter. Two diamonds have been laid out,
the Y. Nj. L. A. having its field at the
orth end of the park. Great expense has
been gone to in constructing the bicycle
trick, and there is every facility for the
fastest racing.
In addition the park is 10 DC maze as
b ,autiful as, landscape gardening permits
of. The opening events occur this after
n oon, and there is every prospect of an
attendance as large as it is sure to be ap-
preciative. The amusement loving public
is grateful to Mr.. Darling for his generous
efforts in it's behalf, and will place the re-
ward where it rightfully belongs.

MEMORY grows STRONGER.

Fully 81 years have elapsed since the
close Of our last war, and now, yearly
smalle' bands OF veterans address them
selves TO the task OF decorating larger
number OF graves.
As the men who fought the battles OF
the union on land and sea pass away the
memory OF their splendid deeds grows
stronger year by year, and the generations
whose institutions they defended are
touched with larger sense OF gratitude
for their courage and sacrifice. Loving
hands on Memorial Day cover all the scars
of war beneath a wilderness of flowers.
The resting place OF every soldier will re.
ceive the fragrant token of a grateful
nations tenderness, and the land from
sea 10 sea will thrill with a sharpened
sense OF obligation as the thinning rank.
OF surviving veterans march feebly past &c
pay ano.hT tribute to the memory Of tb,
comrades who have gone before.
