The three-masted schooner Standard.

river by the tug Bristol of philadelphia.
collidet with and badly damaged Market
street bridge this morning. The only
cause that could be attributed for the acct.
dent was that the tow line was too long, al.
lowing the vessel to swing.
Tho bridge had been turned and was
pointing north and south, when amid the
sound of rending timber the vessel was
observed to crash into the pier which pro-
jects about five feet out from the bridge
when the draw is off. Tearing through
the pior 1t smashed and damaged about
ten feot Of the foot path. The bowsprit
OF the schooner was twisted off and the
rigging was badly damaged.
1t was not discovered until the vessel
had reached Third street bridge, that
hole had been stove In her bow by the an
Choir, which was hanging over the side be-
low the wator line. One point was drove
through the planking In such a manner
that very little water was allowed to flow
In.
The damage was temporarily repaired
and the vessel proceeded to Philadelphia,
where it will DO dry.dooked The accident
caused the bridge to remain of for about
one hour and those who had business on
the opposite side of the river were com.
PEELED to Cross Third street bridge. =

Monkeys Have tho Measles,

Why on earth should any one wish
to give monkey measles? Presuma-
bly, DR.. Albert Josias knows, for he has
been trying that experiment. Measles,
1t appears, have been hitherto a spe-
clal distinction Of the human race, and,
though everybody has heard of a meas
ly pig, that Is not the right kind OF
measles. Pigs decline to Get human
measles, or. at least, they do so in
France DR.. J9s!as tried them with
tontagion and he tried them with In
oculatiop. and not a measle was to be
seen. Then he tried monkeys-two
kinds; the macaques were obdurate,
but the sajoux took the infection lust
like any spotty child. Man has no
longer a prerogative to oar poor re-
lation.

that are soft and pile so many covers
over them that the body gains no ven-

Women Eeonomizing,

Chief among the tendencies of the
moment as regards representative
New York women is a most marked
idea of economy. Economy in every
way even to the saving of the pennies,
let alone the dollars. has come to be
growing enthusiasm. That this is
not theory but genuine condition,
and that women, with the biggest sort
of incomes are actually practicing
what they preach, can be learned from
all the prominent tradesmen, as war is
making many of them genuinely blue
for the accounts of many of their best
customers are falling decidedly off.
The idea of the day is that the coun.
try may sooner or later need money:
that at all events scores of new char
tiles and aid societies will probably
spring up, and that they themselves
should begin to save now in order that
they may be prepared when the call
for funds comes. That is the feeling
among the women Of the Sets" and
they are showing their willingness to
be ready to make all sorts of little sac
rifices.
This has not been told in print for
the reason that these women have.
naturally, not talked about It, but it Is,
nevertheless, fact. The average wo-
man Of fashion is having about third
as many new gowns as usual and she
Is buying far less in the Way of frin-
peries and novelties. A much smaller
quantity of goods is being ordered
daily from the butcher, the baker and
the grocer, and there are some women
who are actually keeping a close watch
on the sugar and butter In their pan
tries, to see that neither of these ar
ticles is wasted. This, on the part OF
women who have never done such a
thing in all their lives before. Ser
wants are being discharged and estab-
lishments quietly reduced,
