Important to Rivermen.

In pursuance to an order of Briga-
dier General John w. Wilson, Chief
Engineer U, S. A., there is is session
in the offices of United States Engi-
neer Captain Harry F. Hodges, on the
fourth floor of the Federal Building,
a board of army engineers to consid-
er a matter of considerable Importance
to steamboatmen navigating on West
ern rivers. The noard consists Of
Lieutenant Colonel NJ. B. Adams, Of
Nashville, Tenn, presiding; Major
Charles f. Powell, Of Pittsburg, Pa;
Major J. II. Willard, Of Milwaukee,
Wis; Major w. II. Biyby, Of Cincin-
natl; Major Dan C. Kingman, Chatta-
nooga Tenn; Captain II. F. Hodges,
Cincinnati; Captain Edward Burr st.
Louis. The latter is the Secretary of
the Board
The board went INTO executive ses-
sion at 8 o'clock yesterday morning,
and will continue TO conduct business
throughout the day. The object of
this meeting is to draft a bill to be
presented to Congress which will regu-
late the construction of bridges over
the Ohio Mississippi, Monongahela,
Allegheny, Tennessee, Cumberland
and Missouri rivers. There have been
certain regulations in the past which
provided for the careful construction
of bridges, but they are not deemed
adequate, inasmuch as considerable
litigation has resulted, and it is for the
of preventing similar recur-
rences that a new Gill is to be drawn
up. 1t is believed that under the pro-
posed measure great many accidents
will be evented.-Enquirer

Like the everlasting material for
which it is named, Blue Jeans, Joseph
Arthur's famous comedy drama seems
never to wear out. 1t is such faith
full picture of the rural life and scenes
where the story is laid, the characters
are so true to life, the incidents so nat
ural and the story so absorbingly in
teresting that 1t pleases all classes Of
theatre goers. The gallery god and
the occupant of the orchestra chair
are alike thrilled and delighted by the
story of the simple, homely country
folk and their doings and sayings. Il
is a lesson and an entertainment com
bined, and no other American play
has so clearly and so entertalningly
brought out these strongly contrasting
characteristics Every type Is shown
from the aspiring politician who
judges everything by it's possibilities
of helping or hurting his political am-
billions, to the low bred but nrnud
vengful and ambitions country girl
who causes all the mischief g., tba play
Blue Jeans will be seen at the Auditor
