A project has been under consider

vide another bridge to Rock Island

of great convenience to workmsn

plan which has been submitted to

for the erection of . small bridge

vicinity Of Fortieth street. which
would place the approach to the

mains to be determined. There has
been no suggestion as to the style
or capacity Of the bridge. That is
to be left wholly with the govern
ment: There are plenty of argu.
ments in favor Of the bridge. and
none against it, and the fact that
the question of navigation does not
enter in, the slough not being trav-

NO MORE SPLITTING In CARS
A PrOhibitive Ordinance PrOmul,

Offenders to Be Fined Not Exceed

Exceeding Ten Days.

The District Comm ssioners yesterday
promulgated the long-eXpected amendment
to the police regulations forbidding eX-
pectorations in public conveyances
The amendment is to article l 0 of the
regulations, and is sweeping inits charac-
ter. 1t provides that ut shall be unlaw
full for any person TO eXpectorate or spit
on any part of any street railway car or
other public vehicles carrying passengers
for hire, or IN or upon any part of any pub
lie building under control of the Commits
soners.' Street railway companies and
other companies owning and operating
public vehicles are required to keep con-
spicuously posted notices forbidding such
eXpectoratlon or splitting.

the regulation shall be punished by fine
not exceeding $40 or by Imprisonment
in the workhouse for not exceeding ten
days. The regulation viii 90 into effact
at the expiration of thirty days from the
date of its adoption
1t is understood the agitation of the ques-
ton OF adopting such 4 regulation was
begun in February last, by President Har-
ries, OF the Metropolitan Railway. 1t is n
matter, Major Harries said, which is OF
even more concern to the public than to
the railway companies. He could, he said,
put up a prohibtory notice in the Metro
politan cars, and really intended TO do so,
but he believed the anti-spitting effort
would hc much more effective If il had
the support OF law. He also suggested that
the adoption of the regulation would come
within the law as usual and reasona ble,'
for 1t is already in effect in other cities.
Major Harries was seconded blythe Gorge
town and Tenleytown Company and by
the Health Office.

The old-fashioned name of the

other one is Touch-me-not, owing to

The Zanzibar Balsam Ct. Sultana),

charming for winter blooming, as
when the plants are only few inch

tire season, sending out perfect
masses of rosy flowers which are
very lovely in contrast with the
glossy green of the foliage. There
are very few more satisfactory
plants for winter blooming.-Sarah
