The theaters of Paris have popular
representations on certain days. when
the seats cost only quarter or half
the usual price. There are also days
like the national holiday July 10Y
when most Of the theaters give gratu-
itous spectacles. These occasions are
characterized only by the best pieces,
and actors dispute among themselves for
the advantage Of playing before this
special public. No other audience is
more grateful or more impressionable.
They rarely have the pleasure Of being
present at the play. They are not blases,
nor are they familiar with the wings.
Having gained their places by long
waiting at the door, they occupy them
as conquests; they listen in silence, ap-
plaud with enthusiasm, weep all to.
gether, the prey Of simple and conta-
giDus emotion.

Hamburg, Aug. 4.-The Hamburger
Nachrichten publishes the following
statement signed by Prince Herbert
Bismarck: 1.-The numerous expressions
of deepest aflictlon and cordial sym
pathy, which testify to the imperish-
able memory of lny great father. are
becoming so overwhelming In their ex-
tent that 1t appears impossible to thank
the mourners singly, even to the end
Of my own life. From all five CONT
nents Of the globe the sorrow of the
family bowed over the coffin is re-
echoed in touching sympathy, and it
grieves me to be unable to answer
every manifestation of this feeling. In
the name of the nearest relatives
thank with my whole heart all who,
by words Of comfort or floral tributes
from those we have never seen, have
given expression to the splendor of the
sorrow which fills our land"

How the Work ON . Suspension Bridge 10

How the Work on . Suspension Bridge II
Done.
The workmen on the cables follow
closely after the builders Of the iron
roadway. These men are engaged in
more perilous employment, II anything,
than the former. They climb nimbly
up to the very summit of the huge tow
ers, and then without flinching proceed
to descend the inclined cables II makes
tho spectators below remble for them,
so dangerous Is the descent, but the
workmen have no fear, else they would
be unified for the duty required of
them. After sliding down the cable q
dozen feet, they stop and turn around
and face the towers. The men working
the derrick slowly swing out to them
the end Of cable about three inches in
diameter. Another man carries out to
them by means of small hand pulley
and rope redhot band Of steel, which
the cable workers seize with their
pinchers and clasp around the large cable
on which they are resting. Then while
the steel Is still hot and malleable, the
small cable, with its end secured in a
thick bolt Of steel, is brought into posi-.
ton, and the end welded into the red.
hot steel band encircling the main ca.
BILE. The workmen pound and forge
away, hammering, twisting and bend
ing the metal before it oools off. The
welding must be done rapidly, and the
workmen have no time to stop and think
Of the dangerous position in which they
are placed. Probably the only support
they have comes from their legs, which
they wind tightly around the cable, as
they swing their arms and upper part
Of the body with violent exertion.
When this cable is forged into its
place, the workmen take a few moments
Of rest, and then slide down to the mex.
joint, where the same operation is re.
peated Cable after cable is attached in
this way until there is O regular tangle
Of steel work and dangling cables, look
ing for all the world like q SPIDERS web.
But there is order in this colossal spider
web such as never existed in the home
of the insect that weaves the webs in |
our homes and woods Gradually one
part Of the bridge after another is fin
ished, and when the "false work" of |
scaffolds Is removed the structure stands
out in all the beauty Of its finished state.
The bridge builders must not only be
skilled in their work, but they must
have the hardihood and daring Of the
sailor, for most Of their work is per-
formed at an altitude higher than the
topmast Of any sailing vessel. They Ia

To them their dizzy height isno more
than the 15 or 20 feet are to the ordi-
nary carpenter or house painter They
seldom use ladders. They would be con-
stantly in the way. II they want to

nimbly up the steel works or jump
lightly across from one truss to another.

PHlIADElnIA's BIG STORM.
The Heaviest Fail OF Rain in the His
/ tory OF the CITY.

I Ane hoeVleeC FalI OF Rain In the His.
tory OF the CITY.
Philadelphia, Aug. 4.-Philadelphia
was Visited yesterday by q most ter
rife electrical storm and the heaviest
downfall Of rain that has ever occurred
In this city. Two men lost their lives
and several fires were started by light
ming and great damage was done to
property throughout the city by the
heavy rain.
Peter Schell, aged % years, was
drowned IN the cellar Of his home. He
was In the cellar removing some goods,
when he was caught by q sudden rise
In the water. Before Schell could reach
the stairway he was drowned. The
other victim was William Nobel, aged
Is years. who was instantly killed by
lightning while driving q horse.
In all about six fires were started by
lightning, the biggest Of which was at
Glbson's Point, in the extreme south
western section Of the city. The light
ming there struck one Of the Atlantic
Refining companys big oil tanks. The
flames soon communicated to a second
tank, and before the fire could be ex-
tinguished $4,000 worth of damage had
been done.
In one hour and fifty minutes, the
duration Of the storm, five and one half
inches of rain fell. breaking all previous
records The heaviest previous precipi-
tation on record was in 1887, when five
and one-tenth inches of rain fell In "a
hours.
The damage done by the heavy rain
fall will run up to may thousands of
dollars. In every section of the city
the cellars and the first floors of many
buildings were flooded, the sewers be-
ing totally inadequate to carry off the
water. The Easements of the city hall
and postoffice buildings were inundated
to such an extent that fire engines had
to be employed to get the water out
The street railway service was prac-
tically at standstill for q time. In
many streets the water reached a depth
Of over foot.
