Club Rooms for Wjlliston.

The writer has wondered many times
why town the size of Williston has no
club or reading rooms in which the bust
ness men could pass their leisure time
or spend their evenings i'll pleasant
and profitable manner. While in Lako-
ia, in this state, few weeks since, a
visit was made to the club rooms in that
town and the writer was so impressed
with the excellent manner in which they
were conducted and the practicability
and utility of the idea, as we'll as the
advantages to be derived, that he deter
mined to call the attention OF the readers
of the Graphic to the subject. In about
Ten minutes list of 100 names was made
out, of which three fourths would Do apt
to join such club, provided suitable
rooms could be secured. Reading rooms,
card and billiard rooms, gymnasium
and bath rooms could all be had at a
very moderate cost to each member, an d
the advantage to many of Wil(iston's
young men, as we'll as to railroad men
who spend much of their time here,
would be great. the plan could easily
be successful, and in case it IS attempted,
local prejudices should be laid aside and
everything done to make the club Il
permanent one. More will be said on
the subject later. a.

Missouri River on Friday afternoon.
When they were thus located it was
found that the refreshment committee
had been strangely negligent, and that
no eatables had been provided; neither
did it make any difference what the
governors of various states said to each
other-the time kept getting longer.
Enforced religion prevented them from
eating meat on Friday, but all agreed
that it could not be wrong to eat fish, so
bent pins and thread were used. With
the strength thus gained, George Brueg-

ONCE OWNED MARTINIQUE
Georgia Woman's Grandmother Sold
II For Fear OF Eruptions.

Georgia WOn1arn's GRANDMOTHER Sold
1t For Fear OF Eruptions.
A most interesting story was recently
told an Athens (Ga) Banner reporter
concerning the original possession Of
the island of Martinique. The story
concerns Mrs. S. G. Reese Of Athens,
whose grandmother once owned a
greater part Of the volcanic isle.
Mrs. Reese's grandmother was Nine.
Gouvain, who was closely related In
marriage to Count de Trobriand of
France. She was an intimate friend Of
Josephine de Beauharnais, who after
ward became the wife of the great Ma
poleon, and she left France on the
night on which Napoleon married the
Austrian princess, Marie Louise, and
came to America.
Not satisfied with her possessions in
the French West Indies after her COM
ing to America, she traded her land on
the island of Martinique to Count
d'Estaing, the gallant French officer to
whom were given valuable lands in
America for his services to The colonies
during the Revolution. Most Of these
lands were in the southern states, and
10000 acres were situated in Georgia,
some of which embraced the present
site of Athens and others of which lay
near Tallulah Falls.
Mime. Gouvain was advised by her
agent to sell her possessions in Marh-
nique on account of the volcanic condi-
ton Of the country, and time has
proved the wisdom Of her choice. She
was a very wealthy woman and in
close confidence with the powers OF the
monarchy of France.
Mrs. Reese has now in her possession
a most gorgeous dress Of her grand
mother which was worn at the mar
rage of Napoleon to Josephine Beau
harnais and which is priceless relic. i
The story Of the division of the Gou-
vain estate, formerly belonging to
D'Estaing, is one Of piecemeal separa-
ton and division until it became pos
sessed by hundreds Of relatives OF the
noted Frenchwoman. Mrs. Reese pos
sesses much information in the shape
Of papers, maps, etc., concerning the
island Of Martinique which descended
from its original owner.

CORONATION DRESSES.
What Peeresses VIII Wear When
Edward VII. Is Crowned.

What Peeresses VIII Wear When
Edward VII. Is Crowned.
1t now seems definitely settled that
the robes Of peeresses are to be Of red
velvet and miniver or ermine, accord
ing to correspondent Of the June Wo-
mans Home Companion. Beneath a
low bodice will extend a stomacher Of
this white fur. A short cape of the
same material will fall over the back,
fastened at either shoulder with gold
cord. On this cape alone must the
black spots of ermine be evident These
spots are numbered according to the
wearer's rank. A red velvet train will
be de risdeur, its length also deter
mined by the wearer's rank.
Each highborn dame will wear a
white panel from the waist to the knee,
probably bordered with old lace, and
consisting of soft, rich white satin.
The coronet which she will wear will
be just half the size Of the one worn
by her husband. 1t Is anticipated that
heraldic embroideries will not be We
toed, though their place on the attire Is
not yet specified. Necklaces will be
permitted. PROFESSIONALLY the dim old
abbey will blaze with many magnifa-
cent Jewels.

RECREATION FOR SOLDIERS.
Movement Started by the French
Minister of War.

WOVGINeAG SIAEIGO by tine pT6nCA
Minister of War.
The military authorities in France
are beginning to realize that much re-
mains to be done In the matter Of pro-
viding men serving under the colors
with healthy recreation, says the Paris
Messenger. AS a matter of fact in al
most every regiment at the present
time soldiers have little choice to make
as to how to spend their spare time.
They can either stay in barracks and
be called upon for extra fatigue duties
or go out to wander ailnlessly about the
streets Of the garrison town or spend
three or four hours in the taverns.
General Andre, minister Of war, has
now sent circular letter to the gener-
ais commanding the twenty army corps
asking them to consider the question
Of the organization Of recreation and
reading rooms in barracks in order to
provide the men with "moralizing at
mosphere." Private initiative had al
ready taken q step in this direction and
had provided certain number Of
games Of draughts, chess, etc., together
with outdoor games, for the use Of sol
diers In barracks, and in one or two
towns soldiers clubs have been opened.
Now that the authorities are taking the
matter In hand much good may be eff
| fected in this direction.

GREAT ENGINEERING FEAT.
Railroad Bridge Shifted Fourteen
Feet I'm Less Than Two Minutes.

Railroad Bridge Shifted Fourteen
Feet I'm Less Than Two Minutes.
In a minute and forty-fiye seconds
the long six span, double track bridge
Of the Pennsylvania railroad over the
Raritan river at New Brunswick was
moved distance of fourteen and a
half feet upon the stone piers the other
day at noon, says the Philadelphia
Press In ten and a half minutes the
rails were all connected so that trains
could be run over the bridge again. In
this remarkably short space Of time
was performed the greatest engineer
Ing feat in bridge moving that has ever
been undertaken by any railroad in the
world To George w. Mershon, master
mechanic of the railroad, is due the
credit for the feat
The Raritan river bridge is 900 feet
long, one of the six spans being the
draw over the Delaware and Raritan
canal The draw and trestlework are
of steel, and the entire bridge which
was moved weighs 4,114,O0O pounds.
The structure was divided into seven
sections, with an engine on each OF the
piers. All the sections slid easily along
on the iron rollers, and the work was
accomplished without q hitch.
The preliminary work took nearly
two months. In order to elevate their
line through New Brunswick the COM
pany had to lay two more tracks owes
the river This necessitated the NOV
ing of the old double track trestleworl
from the center to one side Of the
piers
