in this way was G. j. D. D'Albani,
who jumped over the high bridge on
Monday, Nov. %. 1897. Like all the
rest of the victims of the fascination
for the high bridge route" D'Albani
accomplished his purpose and was not
found until several days later. No one
saw him make the terrible leap and
the only motive for his rash act was
explained in a letter found in his coat
pocket addressed to the public, in
which he stated that he had tried to
live but simply couldn't.
The last successful victim of the
high bridge mania" was Warren j.
Woodbury. the well known printer who
deliberately took his own life by
jumping over the bridge about 2 o'clock
Thursday afternoon, July IS, 1901. FL
nancial reverses are thought to have
upset Mr.. Woodbury. so that he de-
cided to end his life, by what he con-
sidered the surest and best route.
AS was stated in t he G o b at
the time, Mr.. Woodbury. was seen to
walk on the bridge by a number of the
gas company workmen who were lay
ing pipe. He very deliberately walked
to the rail and hurled himself into the
river without uttering cry. He was
seen to come to the surface of the wa
ter and make a few struggles after
which he disappeared from sight of the
aWed crowd who saw the terrible deed
committed.
The body was discovered several
days later and the sixth and last of
the victims of this bridge that has be-
come notorious for its numerous sui
cides, was laid to rest in a grave.
In addition to the above it may be

Even though it were lined with how
els Summit avenue would be beauti-
full street in itself. The commanding
sweep of the avenue, the beautiful
view its height commands and the
spreading trees that shelter it's pave
ments, make the avenue admired for
itself alone. However, the fact that
brown stone Observation-Disclosures and
mposing-instead of novels, face this
broad street, naturally enhances the
charm of that street. st. Paul is to be
congratulated that those of her citizens
who have been able to erect residences
on her most beautiful avenue have been
men of taste as well as of wealth.
There are no architectural monstrosi-
ties to blot the beauty of the avenue
Each residence is distinct and individ-
aul, but none offends the taste nor is
an eye sore to the visitor Each one,
too, is set in the center of well kept
lawn, with stone walks and stone steps
leading down to the street The house
line has been kept remarkably even
along Summit avenue-a detail that
adds considerably to the beauty Of the
street.

Stuart Rogers, president of the North

so a member of the Crane Ordway
company, and one of the leading citi-
zens in the social and financial circles
of St. Paul.
1t was on Friday afternoon, May 10,
1898. that Mr.. Rogers leaped to his
death and his rash act shocked his
many friends. His business affairs
were n excellent condition, his home
life was very happy and no reason is
known for his surprising resolve to
quit this world.
Miss Lamb Jumps Over.
For the next two years and a half
there was no one who sought death by
this route, until in January, 1896, when
Miss Dottie Lamb, a beautiful young
woman, who lived at 270 West Seventh
street, sought death by jumping over
the side of the bridge to the snowy
white ground $50 feet below. Miss
Lamb was the only woman to end her

cupied by the residence of Dr. Appleby,
at the corner of Selby and Summit av-
enues. While the lawn is even with
Summit avenue, the steep incline of
Selby avenue has necessitated the ter
racing of the grounds in the rear.
Pefched on an eminence, the house
commands a splendid view, not only of
the city, but of the river and country
beyond. The house is distinctly mod
ern.
Mansions Near Top Of Hill.
Contrary to the usual custom the
porte cochere is directly in front, af-
fording an entrance to the big reception
hall, off of which the other rooms open.
Next to DR.. Applebys residence is the
Foley mansion, and next to that the
imposing brown stone pile erected by
James j. Hill. These homes face 9TH

Across the street, at the corner of Sell

home. Although frame structure
there is a substantial dignity about this
home that makes 1t worthy neighbor

sickening splash within a few seconds
and before the spectators realized what
had happened, two lives had been hurI-
ed into eternity under tragic circum-
stances.
The tremendous jump, the evident
cool purpose and desperate determine
ton, together with the rash, yet calm
execution of what was doubtless an
agreement between the two men to
seek death together, Mortified hewitt
nesses. Men ran to the spot where the
suicides had plunged to the water, and
grew faint with dread. But all
were helpless to render any assistance
after the fearful leap. Taken as a
whole the suicide of these two men
had undoubtedly been deliberate and
well planned and by those who saw
the tragedy, it will not soon be forgot

stated that no one knows how many
persons may have sought death by
jumping over this bridge that the facts
have not been brought to light.
Many Infants Thrown Over.
Coroner A. W. Miller in speaking of
the suicides that have occurred from
this bridge added that it is hard telling
how many infants are given a watery
grave every year by being thrown over
the railing of the high bridge during
the night. The fact that the bridge
is practically deserted at night, said
the coroner, gives all the more ground
for this assertion as it Is an easy mat
ter for a woman Or man, to wrap
an infant in piece of newspaper and
walk with the bundle to the high
bridge under cover OF darkness and
throw it into the river.
Such is the history Of this haidge

industry the branch that has helped as
much as any other to make this country
a commercial world power, thus exceeds
the poultry industry in money equivalent
by only about is per cent
Still more striking, practically the en-
tire output of eggs and much of the pouI-
try is consumed at home.
Here are some of the interesting figures
furnished by the department
The value of poultry on hand June 1,
1900, was $S5, 794, 1885, This included $780,
59S,0S5 chickens and guinea fowls, $685.

ducks.
In ratio of production there are about

two dozen eggs marketed for every bushel
of wheat.
But even these figures cannot give a full
idea of the country's egg production. The
consumption Of eggs by people keeping
their own poultry must be enormous and
necessarily no statistics can be obtained OF
this production In the yards and orch
ards of thousand villages from the At
provide the family wants. Moreover, the
estimate is OF hens eggs only, while there
is very large consumption of the eggs
of ducks, geese, guinea fowls and even
turkeys.

treatment. Charles Schuneman's
house, $50 Summit avenue, is also OF
wood, but like Mr.. Deans residence,
is imposing because of it's handsome
lines, its size and the well kept grounds
that surround it.
Good Buildings Far Out.
When Summit avenue first became
popular as a home for fine residences,
the majority of these were erected as
near the top of the hill as possible. In
deed, the first beginnings of the ave-
nue's grandeur were made below the
hill, and it was only by degrees that
the big residences climbed up. Now
they are moving further and further
out, and it is only a question of time
when the avenue will be lined solidly
with handsome residences from the top
of the hill to the very end of the street
out beyond the speedway. AmeSg the
handsome residences that have already
found their way far out on Summit are
those of Joseph Elsinger, Michael Fo-
ley, Pierce Butler, H. w. Topping, Hon.

The great State of California offers
more delightful attractions for the av-
erage winter tourist than any other
section of the United States. At
time when the North and East Is
garbed in its usual winter mantle.
Southern California is clothed in sun
shine, fruit and flowers. The new
coast line of the Southern Pacific
Sunset route, extending from Los An
geles to San Francisco, offers one OF
the most alluring opportunities for a
Journey possible, even in Golden Cali
fornia. Los Angeles and vicinity con-
tain many of the most attractive feat
ures of California which. with a su-
perb climate, to be appreciated must
be experienced. Surf bathing in the
Pacific ocean. golfing at Monterey,
deep sea fishing at Catalina and
score of other attractions provide a
most pleasant method of enjoyment.
