A STEEL BRIDGE WANTED.
Dover. Md, to Replace the Broken
Wooden Structure.


EASTON. Nd. March 12.-There was a
joint meeting in Easton Saturday Of the
Boards OF County Commissioners of Tai
bot and Caroline counties to consider the
Dover bridge breakdown. Il will take an
other meeting to bring matters 10 a con-
Clusion, both counties wishing to replace
the present wooden structure from the
draw to Talbot shore with a steel bridge
and to put on a steel sliding draw. The
only impediment is the cost. A rough es-
innate made By a Pittsburg concern puts
the cost at 5000. Plans and details Of
the estimate are now being made. Talbot
can pay its part OF the cost by an inCreaSe
Of l or cents in the tax rate this year
But CarClina's tax rate is already s112i.
and cannot be safe Y increa5 ed. The comfy
has besides a large bonded and floating
debt
The Legislature may be asked to pass
an enabling act authorizing the Commits
sioners of Caroline County to issue bonds
for Dover bridge uses. The bridge is TO v
steel from the draw to the Caroline shore,
three-ffths Of its length. Mr.. George Nj.
Wingard, whCse traction engine broke do w
the draw and now lies at the bottom Of the
Choptank river, says he will make no at
tempt to raise it. He will send a bill fer
damages to the County Commissioners,
and II they refuse to pay it vii brig
suit to recover.

wooLEY WOULD ACCEPT.
Likely to he the PrOhibitiOnist Nom
inec for President.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa. March 12.-John G.
Wooley, Of Chicago. who is considered the
probable Prohibitionist party nominee for
President this year. is in Sioux City. He
said that he would accept the nomination
il it was offered to him and would make
a hard fight to win. though he considers
the case hopeless. In 1896 he declined TO
run.
Mr. WOoley says that the Prohibition
party promises to make such a show OF
strength in the next few years as to com
pei one OF the old parties to take up the
prohibition cause in the hope OF gaining
the strength Of the Prohibitionists. He
says the temperance cause has gained in
strength since the last Presidential cam
paign and never was so popular as now.

bic is the fact that journals have ceased
to be. There are many ways in which
such records may be- useful and if
kept as they should be they are almost
always interesting. II Is unnecessary TO
say that they should not be mere escape
valves of sentimentality, though, after
all, perhaps, it is better for a sentimental
person TO cOnfide emotions to dumb paper,
which may be destroyed. than to a live
cOnfdant who is likely to tell tales after
ward But if a journal is made lively,
well-written. and thoughtful record OF
happenings Of ones daily life it Will GER
tainly be a source Of pleasure in after
years.
Almost any household would find the
family journal a delightful thing TO have.
Such book is sure TO be useful. and is
generally amusing. 10 ought to be a large
blank book. without dates, so that there
need be no space limitations for any one
day; and some member OF the family
should make a record each day. The va
riaJioEs in ehirography and style would
make such a record all the more enter
tanning, and if IL is carefully kept, and. as
usually happens, two or three members Of
the family have some literary ability. the
book would probably deserve place in
some museum when it is a hundred years
old. No one can deny that il would be fas-
cinating TO read the daily history Of a
Virginia family OF the time of Washing
ton. Of an Illinois household when the
middle West was in the making. OF Of a
Southern plantation during the war. Our
own time. though it seems matter-Of-fact
and unintcresting 90 the average mind,
will be as full a fascination TO readers Of
history a hundred years hence, for time is
a sort Of alchemist and changes the COM
mon iron and pebbles Of everyday life 10
rare treasures in the course OF a century
or two. But. leaving the historical value
Of a family journal entirely out Of the
question, It could not but prove a source
Of entertainment and satisfaction TO the
writer's themselves.

The oldest library now In existence Is that OF
the Vatican, and IL probably contains more liter
airy treasures than any other. Il belongs always

volumes, they are the rare-t In the world. The
Vatican library has the only known copy Of the
New Testament written before the end Of the
fourth century; the original Dante, the oldest
existing copy Of Virgil. and a Terence which goes
back 30 the fourth century.

Although Dr. Leyds. the Beer diplomatic
agent in Europe, denies the report, It is
probably true that President Kruger has
asked the consuls at Pretoria to request

One Of the Boer prisoners taken by the
British troops on Saturday at Aasvogel
said that it was believed in the Boer camp
that the siege OF Mafeking had been rails
ed. But little credence is given 20 the
statement. II is much more probable that
the place has fallen. or Will fall as at
latest accounts the bombardmept was in
cessant. and the besicgers' trenches with
in less than two thousand yards Of che
town. The capture OF Mafeking would
naturally be more than ever an object to
the Beers now. Il would give them a vic
tory TO revive their dropping spirits, and

Lord Robert Cecil son OF the British
Prime Minister. Nothing is heard Of the
relief column believed to be working its

not as yet appear hopeless.
