Boston Evening Transcript: The city
of Lynn will ave to expend about $500
next summer in re%planking the floating
bridge at Glenmore Pond. A new set Of
three-inch planks is required every third
year on the structure. Few people of the
hundreds who cross the bridge daily lave
any idea of it's great thickness, which has
been proved by recent SOundings to be as
much as II feet in some places. Although
so much thicker and heavier than when
first built, it seems to have lost none Of
it's fleXibility, and always adapts itself
instantly to any changes in the level Of
the water.
Floting Bridge is one of the curiosities
| of Lynn, and it is claimed to the only
| structure of it's kind in the world. In 1908
a bridge of somewhat similar design was
built across Lake Q~uinsigamond, near
Worcester, but it was constructed simply
of two tiers of logs, covered with planks,
and was never satisfactory. The Lynn
! bridge, on the other hand, has been in
constant use for nearly a century, and is
stronger now than ever, as the wood does
not rot under water, and the pine logs
which form the foudation are as firm as
on the day when they were heWn and put
together.
Capt. Moses Brown was the originator
of the idea of thus bridging Collins Pond,
as it was then called. In March, lS02, a
charter was granted to the Salem Turn
pike and Chelsea Bridge Corporation, and
the bridge was completed in 1904, at a
cost of $55,4O9. A diver has investigated
the foundations of the structure, and has
| found that the original bridge was made
| of five layers of pine, laid at right angles
| TO each other, the first two LAYERS OF pine
logs were on one side and the upper three
of hewn timber one foot square, the
whole secured together by three-lnch
bowels and covered with planklng 5@ 1eet
thick.
The bridge is 81 feet long, 2S feet wide.
and the pond which it crosses is about II
acres in area and about Cd feet above the
sea level. The bed of the pond appears to
be a bed of quicksand, and it would be
very difficult to build a road around the
| pond without making a very long detour,
| owing to the Doggy nature OF the SOIL.
| The bridge is kept from tipping over by
| being moored at the ends, imbedded in
| long trenches dug in the shores OF the
| pond at the approaches.

CLEVER WOMAN.

Chicago Journal: She is a clever Wo-
man. a past master in the art OF strategy.
So agree all who rode down town on the
street car yesterday morning.
She got on a ~southbound Clark street
limits trs.in at Belden avenue. Every seat
was AIKEN, and almost every strap had
a man or woman suspending from 1t. she
looked about, hesitatingly, for an instant
but every man was wonderfully interest
ed in his paper. Then she took hold OF
a strap almost in front of a young man,
a very young man, who was blushlng
guilty as he pretended to read.
While the young man blushed ana the
woman thus hung her handkerchief f1ut-
tered, accidentally by all appearances, to
the floor. The young man locke up just
then and saw the white bit of cambria
The feeling of chiva1ry which he evident
" was trying to stfe would not be stifed
longer.
He arose and stopped for the handker-
chief. This was the Woman's opportu-
nity, While his back was turned she
gently slipped into his seat. When he
turned about and saw what had occurred
he almost collapsed. But the woman did
not. She took her handkerchief out of his
limp hand, smiling innocently.
THANK you" she said, sweetly, you
are very kind"

MUMMIES OF CLIFF JEWELLERS.

mics of three ancient cliff dwellers have
just been discovered in a hillside near old
Camp Verde. They We're found in a crypt
dug into the solid rock and tightly sealed
by a wall Of masonry, the interior of the
crypt being neatly piastered. A number
of mummieS have been taken from these
cliffs in times past, all of them being
those of pygmies, with a cranial forma-
ton distinctly Mongolian: Those just
found are so small as to be those of chill
dren. They were wrapped in a single cot

have been told in the news of the day not
so long ago if the family had not guarded
it carefully. but for all that it got out.
There lived on the South side two sis

and said to be giddy. The elder married
early and unhappily. h got a divorce
from her husband after a brief marital
experience. She was no sooner rid of
one than she went on the hun for another.
h found a likely fellow. He had mon
ey and he was an agreeable young man.
She was in a fair way TO land him until
her younger sister came home from
school.
The divorced woman was soon cast
aside for the fairer and freSher face. She
was furious, bu it was all beneath the
surface, for a Tilted woman will not Let
her successful rival know that she cared
for the man she lost. But she sWore that
she would be revenged o N her sister.
The sister didn't care for the man. If
she had known how much the older N
cared, or how she was wounded, she
might have sent him about his business
IN hope that he would return to his first
love. But she didn't know. She met a
man m the course Of a few months with
whom she fell madly in love. The other
one dropped out of her life and out Of
that of her sister as we'll. 1t was not long
until the engagement of the younger WO-
man to her new sutton was announced.
Then the elder one began to plot to ac-
cOnplish her revenge.
One evening the young man caled to
J See his fiance. She was mot expecting
him, and she wasn't at home. Her sister
received him and after some talk she be-
gan to let drop some dark intimations
concerning the absent one. Tine young
man was eager to know all. He had heard
eonugh to arouse jealousy. With seeming
hesitation tho demon woman told him
that she feared her sister was going to
perdition.
II saw a note she got today" she said,
making an appointment to meet a GER
tam man at No. 23 Blank street, and I
fear that that is not a reputable place"
The young man knew it was not.
Il will go with you there" the woman
said to him, "and perhaps we may find
her in time to save her from a downward
course"
The young man agreed to so with her.
She went to her room to put on her
wraps n she hurriedJy wrote q note to
her sister in which s he said:
"Charley has been here n have

She put THE note where she knew her

This Summers
Wash Dresses
THEY ARE TO BE "WAsT' IN NAME FOR THEY ARE EIABORATELY
> ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS FIGURED GAuzEs.

{ Paris. April 21.-The season is already
well advanced. Easter came so early
that the straw hats were forced out into
the cold weather before their time and
the consequence is a rush of the season
along the line. 1t is surprising how many
wash dresses are now seen in the street;
and how the women of fashion seem in a
hurry to crowd one season upon the
other. Winter fingers in the lap of spring
only as far as the weather is concerned,
for in dress it is now balmy June al
though the March winds are whistling
throughout April.
At a reception given a few days ago
by an American woman who is spending
the spring in Paris there We're some
beautiful spring gowns made of light,
almost wash, fabrics. This reception was
given in the newest American fashion in
the conservatoire where boughs of green
and great punches of apple blossoms
%Overhung the fair guests.
One of the gowns which was decidedly
SNOWY from it's pattern was of plaid dim
ity in bright red and dull black figures.
1t was made with a curious bodice effect
with a vest of embroidery set in. The
skirt was in three divisions, one skirt fall
ing over the other to form a double over
skirt. The waist was trimmed in a large
curved pattern of plaid ribbon, put on to
outline the body from the yoke. The skirt
was trimmed with the same thin plaid
ribbon and there was a very large knot
at one side with ends hanging to the
floor.
FIGURED GAUZE HOLDS SWAY.
Another dress was of figured gauze.
Gauze is to be extremely fashionable this
year and you see it in all colors. 1t is
taking the place of organdie to a certain
extent and you can find it beautifully
figured and striped. This gown was made
of three kinds of gauze. The bodice and
overskirt We're Of the figured gauze; the
underskirt was of the gauze in sWirling
pattern and the entire suit was trimmed
with striped gauze.
There We're many pretty effects in
tucked yokes and sleeves. The tucks are
so tiny that you can scarcely tell what
they are from a distance. They appear
more like a cording. Owing to their mar
roWness they launder well and the tuck
ed sleeve can be nicely done up all the
season.
Many of the most elegant Of the new
summer dresses have figures embroid-
cred upon them by hand. This was the
case with a wedgewood blue lawn which
Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-04-22

had four-leaf clovers embroidered upon
it. The clover leaves were marked first
with a pencil, the modiste told me, and
were then carelessly worked in long, loose
stitches in kensington style. The design
she assured me, was not difficult and
could be easily copied by any woman
with a taste for fancy work. The secret
in working them was not to place the
clover leaves TOP close together, three or
Q being all that were required upon
the front of the bodice, and half a dozen
all that the skirt would need.
This dress was trimmed around the
skirt and overskirt and across the yoke
with the new ruching which resembles
a double rutfie as much as anything else.
70 make the new ruching you take
chiffon, or if it be for a wash dress, the
finest of wash gauze or lawn or dimity
and make a double puff. Now, when you
have finished making the puff cut off the
outer edge SO that it leaves four raw
edges Of the goods. You have now the
fashionable ruching which is greatly used
for trimming.
A PIQUE COAT.
Some of the most remarkable effects
are achieved in pique, which has the
dignity of cloth, if properly made. The
light colors of the more expensive kind
look exactly like corduroy and can
scarcely be distinguished from it. At the
conservatoire reception before referred
to one of the guests wore a coat of white
pique figured in musketeer blue, the
shade which Dumas describes as a "color
between celestial blue and dregs of old
wine" 1t is something like ~Wedgewood
but more hazy. It may be called the new
blue, the most popular blue of the season.
This pique coat which was a cutaway
was bordered with ribbon velvet put on
in scallops. 1t had a vest of very hin
goods crossed with narrow bands of vel
vet and at the front there was a very
large chiffon bow.
All Of these goods are wash goods. The
gowns cannot be put in the tub and
scrubbed, nor rubbed upon the banks of
the river between stones, but they are
materials which do not spot in a shower
and which pea the dew and the seashore
danpness well. They can be worn a sea-
son without cleaning and so they fulfill
the mission Of wash dresses.

Moving southward.

Another significant indication of the
movement of the cotton manufactur-
ing industry southwark is the an
nouncement that the Merrimac Manu-
featuring company, Of Lowell, Mass,
has signed a contract for the erection
at Huntsville, Ala, of a cotton mill
with 100000 spindles. and which will
give employment to about five thou
sand hands. The mill will be an I'M
proved duplicate of the one now oper-
ated at Lowell. Heretofore 1t has been
claimed in New England that the prod
ucts of the southern cotton mills would
be confined to the coarser quality Of
goods, but 1t is announced that the
new mill at Huntsville will manufac-
ture print cloths. ginghams, sateeus,
velveterans and fine dress goods. It is
worth noting that while but few II
any new cotton mills are projected in
New England, new cotton mills are
rapidly multiplying in the south, par
ticularly in North and South Carolina,
Georgia and Alabama. The indica-
tions are that in a few years the south
will take the lead in the manufacture
Of cotton goods.

and inhenza. 1t has become famous
for its cures OF these diseases, over a

most hattering testimonials have been
received, giving accounts OF its good
works; of the aggravating and persist

II. A. w. TABOR.

Since the first settlements in America,
there has been a distinct class of men
and women, who have been the pioneers
of civilization As the border line ad-
vanced westward, these men blazed the
trail, in which followed the less bold.
Civilization, with its peaceful pur-
suits. it's hum drum life, its lack of ex-
citment, furnished little to satisfy the
appetites for venturesome.. sietuations,
and life became irksome SO that the
border land of civilization kept constant
ly on the move, with the accompanfe-
ment of these brave spirits.
Colorado presented large field un-
explored, unknown; its mountains, its
plains, rivers and valleys, when these
fearless spirits first saw the rays of the
setting sun glinting in beauty most ro-
seate and rare, the guardian peaks, OF
this unsolved region of promise.
Among the pioneer bands who sought
homes, wealth and happiness in this un-
explored land of promise came one,
whose spirit now fled from mortal clay,
lies under the dome of the capital of the
state which he did so much to create.
The history OF the man, is the history
the state. The impress of his per
sopalty is left everywhere. In the
gulches, where hidden wealth has been
yielded up to men like he; on the plains
and in two of its greatest cities, on every
hand is felt and seen the mans individ-
uality, his spirit of progression; the his
tory of his philanthropy and the struct-
ural monumentsN to his commercial en-
terprise,
Innocent as babe OF m ,n's perfidy,
trusting men like brothers, building
great structures to facilitate business
intercourse, spending his wealth for the
benefit of all, his princely fortune was
finally exhausted, but he held still a
more precious possession, the love of
the people of his state.
III. A. w. Tabor is dead, but from
every hamlet, from every cabin on lone
hill sides, from dark drifts and shafts of
the mines of gold and silver, from every
where in the state he helped to make
and loved so we'll, come prayers for
sweet rest in eternity. Such swelling
petition of praise ought to push the
Gates wide ajar for the soul of the de-
parted.
OF faults, he doubtless had many, but
such bold, sweet and fearless spirit,
whose hand never refused an aim, failed
to give succor, and whose pitying tender
ness made him loved of all men, should
be little trammeled in it's onward flight,
by the few faults he had.
