THE CHAPEL STREET BRIDGE
NEWDRAW OPENED TO THE PUBLTc
YESTERDAY.
Handsome Structure Resem bling the
East Grand Avenue Bridge--Cars Not
to bio Run Across for Few Days-
Changes in Leaving Time to be nIado
by the New limo Table,

The new drawbridge over Mill River
on Chapel street, which has been in the
course of construction for over year,
was opened to the public yesterday.
| The structure Is handsome one close
~ resembling the one over the Quinni-
piac river at East Grand avenue. 1t is
800 feet in length and 81 feet wide with
roadway of SO feet. The draw will
be operated by electricity. the power
being furnished by the Fair Haven and
Westville railroad.
The opening of the new bridge is
hailed with delight by the many resi-
dents of the annex, Fair Haven and OF
Montowese, and East Haven who have
suffered inconvenience during the time
the bridge has been closed Nearly all
the travel to and from Fair Haven dur
ing that period has been by way OF
State street and GAINESVILLE bridge. AS
it takes considerable more time to cover
the distance by these routes than by
the Chapel street route the residents
of those sections have been put to con-
siderable inconvenience.
The Fair Haven and WestviIle road
had hoped to put their new schedule
1lhO CiANSl ILLS UlOIulUR dIlu run CarS
direct from the corner Of State and
Chapel streets over the Chapel street
bridge at regular intervals. But this
they will probably be unable to do for
two or three days yet as City Engineer
Kelly wishes to make sure Of the work.
ing order Of the drawbridge before any
cars or heavy traffic of any kind are
allowed to cross. This Is a wise pre-
caution, as an accident to the bridge
causing a delay of few hours for re-
pairs would entail considerable annoy
ance to both the railroad company and
the residents Of that section of the city
in question.
The new timetable for the East Ha-
ven and Lighthouse Point cars. which
will go into effect as soon as the bridge
is fully opened, is as follows: Cars leave
State and Chapel streets via Chapel
street at 6:06 a. M, and at intervals Of
twenty-four minutes until 1854 p m
Cars leave East Haven for State and
Chapel street via Chapel street at 6:1S
a. m. and at intervals of twenty-four
minutes until 1880 p. m. Cars leave
State and Chapel street for Lighthouse
via Chapel street at 6:15 a. m. and at
intervals of forty-eight minutes until
1918 p. m. Cars leave lighthouse for
State and Chapel streets via Chapel
street at 6:06 a. M, and at intervals Of
forty-eight minutes until 1915 b. m.
The schedule is slightly different in
regards to the running time from the
schedule which will be In force until it
is adopted, but the service for Light
house Point, Morris Cove, East Haven
and the Annex residents will be almost
identically the same. By running the
cars over Chapel street bridge instead
of around Grand avenue or State street
saving of considerable time will be
effected, and cars Of the State street
line will be less thronged.

Mr.. cRoSsY'S ADDRESS.
The Great sinsle.Taxer Addresses a Large
Audience in Olympia Thcater.

John S. Crosby, the advocate OF the
single-tax form of obtaining revenue
for support of government, is rather
an elderly gentlemen of fine address,
possessing an excellent command of
language and all those graces and arts
which make forensic display sue
cess. He had quite II large audience
in the theater last evening, many OF
whom were in receptive state OF
mind, and attracted 10y desire to re-
ceive some lasting impression of the
merits OF the new system of taxation
upon which to base possible CONVEX
sion. Radical changes are not adopt
ed without mature consideration, how
ever, and there is class of people
who are slow to investigate any inno-
walton upon time-honored custom.
The advocates of Georges theories
are often surprised to find intelligent
people who have never made his ideas
a study, and whose interest, when at.
tention is given, can only be fixed by
a plain, logical statement of the plan
involved, supported by some proof of
its feasibility.

ficient in these characteristics. He

sembly of thirty voices cannot fail to
please and delight. After the first
part come the specialties, and among
them will be found the charming mel
ody of songs by Miss Carrie b. Wood,
the colored prima donna. Miss Wood
has beautiful soprano voice of rare
culture and wide range and is &C
knowledged by both press and public
to be the leading singer of her race.
The Black Hermann is magician of
exceptional cleveIness and will GER
tainly mystify with his clever tricks
and illusions. The comedy element is
strong throughout the entire enter
tainment, the leading role being in
the hands of that prince Of comedians,
John w. Dennis. Colored people are
world wide known for their sweet and
harmonious singing, and the Oak Leaf
Quartette Of this company certainly
lives up to that reputation. Mr.. Foun-
tain Wood, trombone soloist, is the
only colored man who is absolute mas.
ter of that most difficult instrument.

f. b. RAYMOND, OF this CITY. while
returning from Tacoma with party
ct wheelmen, Sunday. sustained a
painful accident which has incapaci-
tated him from business for some
time The steering head of his hi
cycle broke off throwing him heavily
to the ground, and his momentum
doubtless caused the serious injury to
his face, literally tearing the flesh on
both sides OF his mouth. exposing the
bone. Mr.. Binheimer, who was OF the
party, happened to look back and saw
Mr.. r., who was in the rear, fall, and
it is doubtless owing to this chance
proceeding that the result was not
even worse than that recorded. After
the wounds of the injured man had
been washed and properly cared for a
conveyance was procured and he was
brought to town. 1t is feared that his
wounds may result in a permanent
Disagreement of his features.

A New Version.

That trite old aphorism, "What
man has done. man can do" exper-
fenced radical change, this week. A
woman drove into town, Tuesday,
from the country with the running
gears OF wagon lacking the conven.
fence even, of buck board. Perched
upon a gunny sack thrown across the
reach, with her feet dangling in the
dust, she presented the spectacle of a
veteran teamster, minus of course the
regulation overalls, hickory shirt and
cob-pipc. The way she managed lines,
whip and break-bar, vociferating,
"G'lang, thar; gee up, old hossies,'
would have made an army mule.driver
turn purple with envy.
She drove to the sawmill where it is
presumable that the mill hands loaded
her wagon for her. The lumber hav-
ing been duly secured with chain and
binder, she mounted to the top of the
load and drove up Main street coolly
attending to her own affairs. A visitor
to her ranch, to-day, would very proba-
bly, find that lady engaged with ham,
mer and saw, putting a roof on the
woodshed, or otherwise utilizing the
lumber she had brought from town.
Well, after all, one such woman in
Thurston county is worth q city-fu!l
of fashionable DANES. whose only
claim could be that they were $50
ciety leaders"
After this practical example of true
nobility, it can now be said, What
man has done, women can do"
