They Have Survive Times Ravages
and Remain Practically Intact.
The old Bow bridge built by Queen
Matilda at Stratford-atte-B Bow in the
twelfth century, survived till lately in
a much-restored condition; the charge
of it was given by its builder to a relig
ious house near by. 1t was a simple
stone structure of three arches and was
not only often in bad repair, but was
used by its keepers to extort money
from passengers.
From the frequency with which the
prefix bridge occurs in the names of
places one might imagine that many Of
our towns and villages have been nam
ed from their bridges, and such is in
deed often the case, but in many other
instances the prefix comes really from
the name of st. Bride, or Bridget, one
of the most popular Of Celtic saints.
At another Stratford. that situated
on the Avon and destined to world
wide fame, there was in Lelands time
poor bridge of timber, so insecure that
many poor folks and other refused to
come to StratfOrd when Avon was up,
or commynge thither stood in jeopar-
dye of lyfe." 1t remained for Sir Hugh
of Clopton, once mayor of London, to
erect the existing fine structure, which.
says Leland hath fourteen great arch
es Of stone and a long causey made of
stone, low-walled on each side, at the
a-t Of Ir. hid nT1afc la
bridge that Shakespeare knew and tC
all intents and purposes it IS the bridge
that still stands.
Another bridge existing is interesting
in that we possess the original contract
by which it was built. After giving
minute particulars as 20 how this
bridge of Chatterick should be built
the document ends: And We saides
John, Tho. and Bob. schalle this for
said brigge sufficiently in masoncrafi
make and fully per-furnish in all par
| tiez and holy endyd be We Fest of Sain
Michele ye Archangelie quilk vt shallt

CCCCXXV." The price for this York
shire bridge is also stipulated.
Sometimes the maintenance of
bridges was provided for by tolls, some
times by aims, sometimes by thu
church's indulgences. Persons FIRE
quently contracted to keep a certail
bridge in order in return for the toll
and in those days, it goes without say
ing. the exacting of the toll was NOR
vigorously exercised than the repara
ton of the bridge. A form of applica
ton for such rights exists, whose dat
sprobably the early fourteenth century
1t Is as follows: ITO our lord the Kin

In the Rear of the 10th Ga.

One morning shortly after the battle of
Seven Pines 1 strolled off from the camp
with party Of eight or ten other young
men Of our regiment, and almost uncon-
sciously wandered into a place Of such
genuine enjoyment that we remained
away for three or four days, regardless
Of roll-calls or other military require
ments.
We had a very happy time indeed, and
the remembrance Of 1t constitutes one Of
the bright spots in the dark background
of my war memories. A forbidden fruit
is always the sweetest so our happiness
on this occasion seemed much enhanced
by the element of sinfulness that was in
It, was somewhat unweI that morning,
and although I wanted no medicine, re-
ported to the doctor to get excused from
duty for that day, and, as my invariable
custom was. I threw away the medicine
he gave me as soon as / could do so I'M
observed, and returned to my quarters to
enjoy my holiday. Soon after my return
1 was aroused from my repose by the
drum sounding for the well known long
roll, which was the signal for the immeS
date assembling Of the men for some
emergency, and was generally understood
to mean for us to prepare for an engage
ment with the enemy. AS usual 1t pro-
duced great commotion In the camp. Men
rushed to and fro excitedly. Mounted
oouriers dashed recklessly through the
camp, non-commissioned officers stouted
vociferously "fali in" fall in" some of
them occasionally emphasizing the COM
mand with a profane epithet. The sick
were ordered to assemble at the doctors
quarters, and there we received the rather
indefinite order to Ego back to the rear"
and in the excitement and hurry Of the
moment, the order was given us without
any limitation Of time or distance. We
started of Immediately, and although the
excitement in camp proved to be a false
alarm, no effort was made to have US re-
called and we went on, ignorant of the
new turn Of affairs In camp. We Travelled
leisurely along, stopping occasionally for
such amusement as our varying environ
ments suggested, and finally stopped to
rest in the shade of some trees in front
Of neat, trim cottage that nestled in a
spacious, we'll kept flower garden. We
fingered long around those charming
premises, admiring the bright flowers, the
well pruned shrubbery, the vine-clad trel-
Uses and inhaling the fragrant perfumes
that pervaded the air.
Two young men, in the meantime, had
wandered away, and while prowling
around the premises, had discovered that
the occupants Of the house were gone.
They by some means effected an entrance
into the house, and after opening the front
door, invited us in. We found the house
elegantly furnished, the pantry well
stocked with provisions and the garden
teeming with vegetables. We kindled a
fire In the stove at once ana proceeded TO
cook dinner, with which we served our
selves in elegant chinaware on very fine
table linen. No thought of remaining
away from camp over night had up to this
time been entertained by any Of US, but
before we were ready to start back there
arose a very had thunder storm which
kept us indoors until dark, and then the

temptation to remain in those comfort
able quarters and sleep in clean, dry beds
was too great to be overcome. After
breakfast next morning we discussed the
propriety of returning to camp, but 1t was
agreed that since our leave Of absence
was unlimited and our fare so much better
than we could expect In camp, we had
better tarry a little longer.
We were amply provided with means OF
amusement. We found checker boards
some of the men had brought their decks
of cards with them, and there was a
piano to practice upon, though none Of us
could play a regular tune being an in
veterate bookworm, found the library my
chief attraction. OF course we all knew
very we'll our conduct was altogether
wrong, but our moral sensibilities had
been so blunted by former misdeeds that
conscientious scruples interfered very lit
tie with these enjoyments. We refrained
from any malicious or unnecessary dam
age to the property and were much trou-
bled over the supposed ruin of lamp
we had used. None Of us had ever used
a lamp nor knew anything about the
principles of lamp lights. We found one
in the house and after learning to light
1t, we used 1t to light up the room. But be-
fore we left 1t went out and all our efforts
to relight it were unavailing. We feared
we had ruined it entirely and regretted
very much that we had ever molested it.
After lamps became more common, in Ia
ter years, I have been led to suspect that
the only damage we did to that lamp was
to exhaust the oil.
On the fourth day of our sojourn we
planned to have an extraordinarily swell
dinner and all hands worked faithfully
most of the morning in its preparation.
Some worked on pies and pastry in the
kitchen while others gathered and prepar-
ed the vegetables for cooking. We got
everything on the stove in due time and
the process of cooking went on very sat-
isfactorily, but about noon, while we were
engaged in spreading the dinner on the
table and congratulating ourselves upon
the success of every detail Of our plans,
we were interrupted by the sudden ap-
pearance of Colonel Alfred Cummings, the
commander of our regiment, who was re-
turning from Richmond on horseback and
had recognized some of our party who
happened to be in the front yard.
He raised a storm Of reproaches against
us and compelled us all to come out to
him instantly and form ourselves into line
to be marched back to camp. 1t was the
most inopportune interruption of happy
prospects that could be imagined. We left
our big dinner partly on the table and the
remainder on the stove cooking, and all
untasted. We explained to the colonel the
Indebtedness Of the orders under which
we had been so long absent. but he refused
to believe 1t until we got back to camp
and had our statements corroborated. We
all expected some pretty severe punish
ment for the violation of army regulations,
especially since the colonel himself had
personally caught US, but to our intense
qualification, no further notice was. ever
taken Of it. Colonel Cummings was pro-
NOTED to brigadier general and was one
Of the souths best soldiers.

ARRESTED IN PORTO RICO.
President TO Investigate Case of In
ion Organizer.

President Roosevelt is investigating tht
circumstances surrounding the arrest OF
Santiago Iglesias, organizer of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor who was i'm
prisoned when he landed in Porto Rico
on Saturday last Iglesias, who was
more or less of disturbing element in
Porto Rico during the days of the Span
ish occupation, left this country on No
vember 2, to organize the laboring classes
of the island on a plan similar to the
labor organizations of this country.
Prior to his departure, Mr.. Gompers re-
ceived from President Roosevelt assur-
ance that Iglesias would not be interfered
with in his work. Mr.. Gompers received
a cablegram yesterday from Igiesias, to
the effect that he had been arrested. No
information was given regarding the
cause of the arrest. The President was
ignorant of the matter until informed by
Mr. Gompers. He at once cabled Gov
ernor Hunt for information. Nothing
could be learned last night at the White
House regarding the matter 1t is
thought, however. that Iglesias ar
rest may have been made on some charge
which has been pending since he left the
island
In addition to the errand in behalf of
Iglesias, Mr. GomperS presented the Pres
ident with data respecting the extension
of the Chinese Exclusion act. which is
ardentiy desired by the federation; the
more rigid enforcement of the alien con-
convict labor bill which shall protect the
interests Of union labor in States where
the products of convict labor are placed

PUBLIC PRINTER THANKED.
Resolutions Adopted by the Central
Labor Union.

At the meeting Of the Central Labor
Union last night it was stated that 4 let
ter had been received from the Secre-
tary of the Navy. announcing that the
Superintendent of-the Naval Gun Fac
tory has refused to accept certificates
from the manual training schools in lieu
of the usual trade certificate required of
mechanics, registering for employment a
the Navy Yard. This statement of the
superintendent. 1t was stated, is believed
to mean that in the future mechanics
from the manual training schools will
not he given employment at the Navy
Yard. unless they present the usual
trades certificate.
The secretary of the union. at the re-
quest of the Labor Council Of San Fran
cisco. was instructed 20 address an open
letter to President Roosevelt, asking that
hereafter all repairs on United States
transports be made at the Government
navy yards, and not by contract.

NEW YORK CUSTOMS FIGHT.
Regarded Probable That Wakcmnn
and BidweU VIII Go.

From reliable sources II is learned that
the President will not reappoint George
r. Bidw ell to succeed himself as collector
OF the port OF New York. In this event
it is also probable that he will name
some one to succeed Wilbur f. Wakeman
as appraiser of the port. Senator Plau
is still recommending Bidwell, but his
support has weakened somewhat recently.
He does not wish to antagonize the Pres
ident in this matter. and 1t is understood
that Mr.. Roosevelt has listened atten-
lively to those who oppose the reappoint-
ment of Mr.. Bidwell.
Senator Platt is willing to compromise,
and allow Bidwell to go. il Wakeman
goes too. There is much opposition to
BidweI upon a number Of grounds. and
those antagonizing him have put forward
strongly his alleged violation of the civil
service rules as a reason why he should
be deposed. This. 1t is believed. will have
4 greater influence with the President
than anything else, as is evidenced by
what has happened in other cases. 1t Is
said that Mr.. BidweH is almost certain
to fail of reappointment regardless OF
Senator Platt 5 support, and many are
equally confident that aS new man will
be named in place of Mr.. Wakeman.
