st. Louis Globe-Democrat: Two
prfncesses of the blood in the old
world wear the habits of a nun, and
follow the strict rule of the religious
orders to which they are affiliated. One
OF them is the Russian Grand Duchess
Nicholas Nicolaiewitch, widow of the
grand duke of that name. She makes
ner nome In a cell Of one of those UNI
foreground converts, which constitute
a feature of the Ito R~ussians) holy
city of Kief, and spends her time in
praying for the repose of the soul of
her disreputable husband, the most
evil of the brothers of Emperor Alex
ander H., and who died in disgrace
after being banished from court by
his nephew, the late car, on account
of his colossal dishonesty and steals.
n also by reason of the scandal OF
his private life. The other royal nun
who is equally sad-faced. and who like
wise spends the greater part of her
lime in praying for the repose OF the
soul Of a %reprobate husband. is Prin-
cess Clothi1de Bonaparte, sister of
King Humbert, and around whose
deathbed at the gloomy castle OF Mon
calieri are gathered her children, the
B~onapartist pretender, Prince Victor
Bonaparte, Gen. Prince Louis Bona
parte, of the Russian army, and the
widowed Duchess Letftia, OF Aosta,
who is not only the niece, but is like
wise the sister-in-law Of King Hum
bert. Princess Clothilde Is very Ill,
dying in fact, of an internal cancer,
and while it is possible that her life
may be prolonged some months both
she and her family realize that it is
necessary to lose no time in ordering
family matters with a view to her de-
mise.

THE PAGES DIFFICULTY.
An Amusing Incident at a Georgia
Northumberland Mamma.

Northumberland Mamma.
An amusing story comes from At
lanta, but the incident happened sew
eral seasons Ago., says the Galesburg
(Ga.) Mail. The occasion was a swell
church wedding. The edif1ce had been
g%loriously decorated. The bride, sur
rounded by a company of pages, flower
girls and maids of honor, was slowly
passing down the aisle, while the pros
pective bridegroom and his best man
and the officiating clergyman were TAX
ing their places. The church organ
was peal1ng forth the sounds as of
joyous wedding bells. Fashionable
people dressed for the occasion occu-
pied the seats of the. handsome church.
1t so happened that one of the pages
had in the rush of business prepare
tory to dressing for the occasion been
turned over to the care of a nurse. AS
ne proceeded down the main aisle of
the church in company with the other
youngsters, who, in white satin suits.
were doing the honors of each respec-
tive household, he suddenly espied his
mother seated in N of the pews. At
this point the organist began playing
SOFTLY as the wedding party passed to
the altar. Then, above the gentle
strains of music, clear as a bird, could
be heard the voice of the aforesaid
small boy: Mamma" he shrilly cried,
nurse put on my panties wrong side
before and l can't hardly walk" OF
course the Mortified could do
- - I--I IV
prayer to heaven that the young scion
would keep still from that time on.
And he did and received a hearty kiss
from the bride at the close of the cere-
mony. This is a true story and can be
vouched for by those who attended the
wedding.

A NEW PRINCIPLE IN BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION.

thousand pounds. The cutter end of
the strut is carried by guide rollers
on each side which run on the curved
track on the top of the fiange of the
guide girders on the lower. The up
ward reaction is received by a pair of
friction rollers which are set on the
bearing of the main driving shaft and
engage the upper side of the lower
chord of the strut.
The driving pinion meshes into a
sectional cast-steel rack riveted in
side the lower chord of the strut and is
revolved in either direction by an in
dependent electric fifty-horse power
motor, to which it is geared with two
speeds so that the bridge may be OPP
Grated in thirty seconds or during high
wind in ninety seconds. Both the
pinion and rack are shrouded, and the
shrouds are finished and set to beat
together and preserve a constant clear
ance between the teeth. The rack seq
ments are made in six-foot lengths
riveted to the sides of the lower chord
and bolted to each other at the ends.

age holes. The motor is arranged to
drive the operating pinions through
either of two sets of gear, giving full
speed for ordinary conditions and slow
speed for windy weather. The move
ment of the draw is further regulated
by a brake wheel with two friction
bands. Each span when closed is
locked by two latches. Each lath is a
solid horizontal bar, which engages a
cast-steel socket bolted to the floor
of beams of the draw. The latch is
mounted on four wheels rolling on an
abutment and is driven back and forth
by a pinion engaging gear teeth cut in
it's upper surface. Each latch pinion
is keyed to the same continuous shaft
which extends nearly from end to end
of the abutment and is driven by a
worm gear from an independent FIVE
horse power electric motor. The diam
eter of the shaft is four inches in the
middle and three inches at the ends.

Especial Boston letter.


The only rolling lift bridge in the
world, over the Fort Point Channel,
at this port, is now rapidly nearing
completion, and it is expected that in
a very short period it will be opened
for traffic. The completion of this
bridge marks a brand new epoch in
bridge building, Notwithstanding the
tremendous heights it has already
reached through American ingenuity.
This unique, but at the same time stu
pendous bridge, was built for The New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
road. 1t crosses. Fort Point Channel
in their approach to the new southern
terminal station in Boston, and over
this bridge pass six adjacent parallel
tracks.
The bridge is constructed with three
double track spans of eighty-fve to
one hundred and thirteen feet in length
and the total weight of the iron in the
superstructure is six million, five hun
dred and seventy pounds. 1t is built
upon two narrow piers. placed parallel
and inclined in the direction of the
tracks which cross the channel at this
point at an angle of forty-two degrees.

is forty-two feet at right angles to the
face of the abutment piers, this MAX

and at the operating end two short
spans are arranged to form part Of the

trusses Of each span are spaced twenty
seven feet eight inches apart, and the
adjacent trusses of adjoining spaces

ing end of each span a steel platform
is placed to support the operative ma

The Hero of the Brazos.

Near the city of Hampstead, in
Texas, there lives a farmland who
has proved himself a hero of peace.
and whose name should be remembered
by the people of his country with all
the gratitude they willingly bestow up
on the heroes of our armies. One of the
great rivers of Texas is the Brazos. a
stream subject to vast floods, which
often rise SO suddenly that the people
living near 1t have no time to escape
the rush Of the waters. In early times
a colony of Franciscan friars estab-
nshed a mission on a mound near the
bank of the river. They built a church
and a village, and taught the neighbor-
Ing Indians. A hostile tribe, however,
swept over the country, ravaging and
burning, and there seemed to be no
salvation for the friars and their ON
Verts behind the feeble defences of
their mound. But of a sudden the wa
ters OF the river rose, and terrible
floods swept away the savages and
saved the little garrison. Then the
fr1ars, so the story goes, saw plainly
the working of the Lord, and they
called the river which had enveloped
them Los Brazos de Dio-The Arms of
God. But the Brazos is not always
merciful. During the recent floods in

veyors of polite vaudeville, the company
of vaudeville artists who will make life
merry on the summer stage at Riverton
Park for the week of July 2. A richer
amusement treat has not been offered to
the patron of summer parks. It would be
difficult indeed to improve on such
unique acrobatic act as that given by the
European eccentriques, Nelson, Glinsereti
and Demoni0. This act introduces back
and forward giant swings by the feet
bars, double and full twisting soner-
saults, Iudicrous falls, etc. In the musi-
cal line there are The Goolmans, who are
|originators of their tone effects and nov
city Instruments. AS laugh makers
nothing better could be wished for than
Lang and Sharpe, in their latest comedy
creation, ''The Hawker." The great sue
cess of the summer parks last season, the
Monograph, is included in this pro-
gramme. 1t is presented with electrical
and mechanical apparatus, expressly de-
signed for open air stages, and the mo-
ton pictures are right up to the minute
IN subject.
There are also several other acts worthy
to be a feature of any vaudeville pro-
gramme. The management of Riverton
intends to make this weeks bill one long
to be remembered and has engaged the
very best company appearing at the sum-
mer parks. In addition to this superb
vaudeville programme the Royal Hunga-
rian Court Orchestra, directed by Mr.. P.
