SEC. WILSON ENTH USI-4 4 STIC.
Sees Coed Future for New England
 Farmers in Tobacco Raising.

Boston. July T.-Secretary Wilson, of the department of agriculture, accom- panied by Dr. Milton Whitney, chief of the bureau of soils, was here to-day. Their visit to this city is incidental to a trip which they have just taken through portions of the Connecticut Valley in the interests of the future cultivation of tobacco onsa large scale.
 In brief chat, the secfetary waxed enthusiastically on the subject of to- bacco raising. At the present time, he said, there was annually a $6,000,0 crop of the weed brought into this country from Sumatra and it Is his be-
 lief that this can be saved to the New England farmer, if he only sets to work in the right way, for he has every ad- vantage especially in the soil, and the quality of the tobacco now raised in parts of Connecticut and adjacent por- tions of Massachusetts is exactly the same as that imported from Sumatra.

Po,t,s WonderIa Tn ea ter.

A thoroughly pleased audience filled Polls last night during the jolly show of nine numbers, every act a hit. Laughter rang merrily through the house almost continuously for it is a funny bill from start to finish, with a spice of novelty here and there.
 Eddie Girard and Miss Jessie Gard ner are playing their bright skit, "The Soubrette and the Cop" In which Gir- ards antics as the cop bring down the house. Miss Gardner is very attract i've and clever actress and maintains her part of the play with merry vivac- ity and grace.
 To do fuii justice to all the hits of the bill would require a column of type. Berol and Berol, the novel artists. who make pictures out of rags, are a real sensation. The Six Blackblrds, George w. Day in monologue, Fitzgibbons, Me Coy and Fitzgibbons, rollicking rush. ing run of fun, the Dewitts, especially the midget, Hill and Whitaker in banjo act and the Macks in ragtime sketch are all exceedingly clever.
 The vitagraph presents one of the most interesting sets of views ever seen here, closing with the pictures taken in this city last week at the bi- centennial celebration during President visit.

BLACKwELLs ISLAND PLAN.

The crude idea, to be worked out by
 our best architects and engineers,
 would be tower in the center of Black
 wells island for use as an outlook and
 place for restaurants and amusements
 at night where the air is good and
 the view superb The bridge itself
 would run from the tower into Manhat-
 tan and Long Island City It's night
 would give fine views also, excellent air and changes for places of recreation,
 while the crowd passing along it would
 make shops on either side of the road
 way very desirable. These shops restaurants and other buildings would be small and on given scale. They would not be continuous, but leave spaces from time to time whence pedestrians could look down on the city and waterways In these spaces the sites for monuments and statues could be left for a future time when establishment is possible. Elevators in the tower and at other points near the four banks of the two arms of the East river could give foot passenger access to the bridge. The island itself would accommodate great crowds and some of the costly buildings already there could be turned to account as musueums and galleries, as restaurants, and other places for the use of the public There are no engineering difficulties to over- come In carrying out plan thus rude ly sketched. The advantages that would accrue to real estate on Manhat- tan and Long Island within a certain radius from the approaches to such a bridge can be easily foreseen. In sum- mer such bridge would be a godsend to the millions. It could be made a | beautiful thing in itself with no extra | expense, and the income from it's various parts would tighten the city's | budget.-Municipal Journal and Engi- | neer
