ANCIENT ENGLISH BRIDGES.
They Have Survived Times RavaGcs
and Remain Practically Intact.

They Have Survived Times RavaGcs
and Remain Practically Intact.
The old Bow bridge built by Queen
Matilda ut Stratford-atte- Bow In the
twelfth century, survived till lately In
much-restored condition: the charge
of 1t 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
n 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 long causey made of
stone, low-walled on each side, at the
west end of the bridge" This was the
| h,.td In nd RI
all intents and purposes 1t is the bridge
that still stands.
Another bridge existing is interesting
In that we possess the original contract
by which 1t was built. After giving
minute particulars as 20 how this
bridge of Chatterick should be built,
the document ends. "And ye saides
John, Tho. and Bob. schalle this for
said brigge sufficiently In masoncraft

and in those days, 1t goes without say
Ing, the exactlng Of the toll was more
vigorously exercised than the repara-
ton of the bridge. A form Of applica-
ton for such rights exists, whose date
isprobably the early fourteenth century
1t Is as follows: ITO our lord the King
prays his vassal, William Of Laytmer
lord of Yarum, that he will grant him
pontage for five years at the bridge OF

GYPSIES ARE A NUISANCE.
Austro- Hungary Has Adopted Meaus
for Their Suppression.

Austro- Hungary Has Adopted Mcaus
for Their Suppression.
In every part Of Europe bands of
Hungarian gypsies are to be encounter
ed. AS rule they travel in families,
numbering from twenty-five to 100
souls and more, carrying along with
them all their various and strange para
phernalia and domestic necessities. In
most countries of Europe laws have
been passed according to which these
vagabonds are allowed to stay only a
couple of days or couple Of hours in
certain provinces or provincial districts,
when they are escorted by gems
darmes' over the border. Their princi-
pal business transactions consist of for
tune-telling, begging and stealing. They
are especially clever In the latter branch
of business and take everything from
a pin and needle to a horse and car
riage.
The gypsies have been a real nuis-
ance for Europe for centuries and the
Austro- Hungarian government is now
considering n plan to force this most
peculiar vagabond race into settlement
somewhere in the vast plains of Hun
gary Most characteristic of the gyp-
sizes is the fact that they' never work.
This Is one of their first principles. For
more than 600 years they have been
roaming over Europe, and the up-to-
date gypsy is by all means the cleverest
thief in the world. Where no cat gets
through the little brown gypsy boy
finds his way. They have no religion,
no morals, no honor or no fatherland.
But he Is prCuder, perhaps, than Span
lsh grandee. He lies to perfection and
is the greatest story-teller in the world.
Many other efforts have been made
from time to time to confine the gyp-
sizes to certain territories In Hungary,
but always without any success.

Taking has injured every legitimate
proposition that has presented itself
to the capitalists in the east and it
strikes home to the interests of Ell

they are robbing investors and pre-
venting legitimate mining men from

just returned from a trip to Sonora
and while there an easterner took me
for greener and attempted to sell
me property that was not worth

was the best in the country and asked
an enormous price for it. I gave him
run for his trouble, though. and
made him think 1 was going to kill
him. l had him fifteen miles out in

TWO ALARMS.
A Smart Boy.

1.-THE fire department was called out
about 8 o'clock last night on false
alarm The fire was only a bonfire
built by some boys out north of town
near the mesa. 1t is alleged that one
of the boys. thinking to be smart and
have some fun, secured key and turn
ed in an alarm. He was looked for
last night, but could not be located.
Officer Harold reports to headquarters
today that he has found the boy and
he will report to the station this even
ing. 1t is said that the boy denies the
charge. claiming that he was told to
turn in the alarm and will report at
the police station on his own accord
when he quits work this evening. He
drives a delivery wagon.
Tobacco Alight.
Just a few minutes before noon to-
day the fire department was called out
by an alarm turned in from Kohlberg's
cigar establishment. The fire was in
the rear room among some tobaccos
and id only about $50 worth of dam
age. The department was delayed in
getting to the scene of the fire by an
accident on San Antonio street. One
of the wagons caught on the pile of
lumber III the street at the new Mason
ic temple and blockaded the street for
several minutes.

Try The Herald's Popular Wants
INSECTS IN METAL.

How They Are Mnde-InGeniOus De-
vice of a Frenchman.
Did you ever see a copper caterpillar,
silver centiped or a nickel gnat? Yet
these and many similar objects can be
had, if not for the asking, at least for
a reasonable amount of money at sew
eral places IN New York. Who discov-
cred the curious art is unknown, but it
was introduced into this city by an &C.
centric Frenchman who said that he
had elaborated the discovery of some
chemists in Paris. NJ. Paul Despotte
for such was the mans name, declared
his secret to be as follows: He first
dampened the luckless insect, leaf or
flower and then blew on it with a blow
pipe. The object thus busted was
placed in an electrolytic bath, and upon
1t the metal was precipitated by the
gaivanic current The object was then
transferred to a. second bath. from
which all the organic matter was dis
solved by an alkali. The metallic shell
which remained was slightly heated,
touched with some kind of shellac. and
the thing was done. The inventor car
ried with him quite collection of
these preparations. The most interest
ing of all were mosquito in gold and
hairy geranium leaf in copper.
The delicacy of the work was eX-
traordinary. Under a powerful ma gni-
flying glass the little organs which are
invisible to the human eye were seen
perfectly reproduced in metal The
discovery does not seem to have been
utilized to any great extent. so far as
trade is concerned. but has been taken
up by many amateurs. This fall an in
genious girl up town first covered the
back of her hand with black lead and
then plated it with metal. She re-
moved this. which was Il perfect cast.
and used it as 4 matrix. in which she

OF THE ONYX PROPERTY
Owned By the Caballero Company of

a universally recognized authority on
all legitimate mining enterprises. has
the following notice of the Caballero
Onyx Mining company. the headquar-

we have ever seen. and from the COM

have almost an unlimited supply which
can be mined and sold to the trade

The midway during the carnival Just
closed is said by those most interested
to be the most successful midway ev-
er held at a carnival.
Mr.. Shields, who had the flying lady
show said that he had been on the road
for eight years with this show and lbs
receipts during the first day of the car
nival were the largest he ever had in
single day. Other shows make sim
liar reports and every show man in
the midway was we'll satisfied with the
affair.
The reports of business men from
over the city show the carnival to be a
much greater success than was ex-
pected by any one. There was over
100000 spent in the city and every
man who contributed one dollar to the
carnival fund has received fifty in re-
turn. Every hotel and rooming house
in the city was crowded to it's full lin
it and every restaurant, saloon, and
gambling house had all the business it
could accommodate. OF course the
hotels, saloons and gambling houses
got most of the money but it will re-
main in town and be distributed among
all classes.
While most of the crowd has gone
there are now more than a thousand
pople in the city who will remain here
for several weeks. They are people
with money and are of the eXtravagant
class that spare no expense.
The carnival, from a financial stand
point, has been a wonderful success
and when the committee organizes for
eas y and it can be made much great
er success than the one just closed
