The Spanish War, and After.

A Spanish diplomat, described as "thinly
yelled" contributes to the Independence
Beige at Brussels an article giving the
credit to Russia for defeating Spain's ef-
fort to secure European concert against
the United States at the time the war over
Cuba was threatening. This should but

Is really entitled to 1t. For we may be

The Memorial Bridge.

| There is SO much to admire and indorse
in the park commissions plans for the i'm

particular feature or recommendation. The
| commissions views upon the Memorial
| bridge are, however, SO much at variance
with the public ideals for that structure
| and also with the official record as far as
1t has been made up that 1t is impossible to
ignore the subject. The commission de-
clares In favor Of plain steel bridge struc-
ture as being more suitable, more architec-
turally frank, than an ornamental masonry
creation, this judgment being based solely
on the ground that the navigation OF the
river and the height at which the bridge
will be constructed will require a draw at
the channel point.
Heretofore in the preparation Of plans for
the Memorial bridge the fact Of the draw
has not prevented the elaboration Of the
designs in what has seemed to the public
mind wholly feasible and artistic man
ner. In most of the designs which have
been submitted the point of the draw has
been treated with special consideration,
with a high degree Of ornamentation. In
deed the draw piers Of the Burr plan.
which stands as the accepted model for the
bridge. constitute the chief feature Of the
structure apart from the monumental ap-
proaches.
The most serious factor which has oper-
ated against the starting Of work on the
Memorial bridge, aside from the economical
tendencies Of the House, is the plea Of an
architect who believes his plan to be better
than that accepted by the War Department
commission organized by order Of Congress-
This rival plan is even more elaborate
than the favored one, and involves higher
cost. 1t Is curious now to find the park
commission reverting to the project Of an
entirely plain bridge structure, elaborated
only in the approaches.
For many years the District has worked
to secure this bridge. for practical as well
as historical and sentimental reasons. The
plan has had the Endorsement Of the varI-
Gus patriotic organizations of the country.
and since the death of Mr.. Mckinley 1t
has been regarded as in a marked degree
associated with his name and work. He
hoped for its erection as a memorial to
American yalor, and its creation in the
highest type of the architects art would
be tribute to him as well as to his COM
rades in arms In whose name it was origi-
| nally planned.
To reduce the Memorial bridge, which
stands for such a pronounced American
sentiment today. to the level of q steel
truss. however it might be provided with
| ornamental approaches, would be to COM
nit a form of sacrilege. The people will
| willingly endure a little architectural pre-
tense in order to provide both a monu-
| mental bridge design and free navigation
| of the river. They would never pardon the
| reduction of the bridge to the simple terms
| of the park commissions suggestion merely
| because of some fancied conflict between
| the two elements of masonry arches and a
| draw span.

b. II. LIE Claire Enlightens Former

B. T. LIE Claire, formerly of Minneap-

Mr.. LIE Claire is permanently located in
Boston, and has learned to call for his
beans regularly on Wednesdays and Sun
II never knew until I learned the true
inwardness Of Boston," said he, chat this
rule about serving beans in the Hub
was strictly observed. Monday, Tuesday,
Thursday, Friday or Saturday you may
call in vain for beans in either Beacon
street or In the district which boasts the
birthplace OF John L. Sullivan There is
an unwritten law which makes five days
Of the week immune from beans, and you
simply can't get 'em for love or money.
But every chef in the town makes up on
the other two days. I never saw beans
served UP In so many different styles in
my life before. BY Wednesday and Sun
day everyone gets bean hungry; the old
craving comes back and the true Bos-
tonian gives, way to his appetite for the
succulent vegetable.
"A Bostonian gravely informed me that
the restaurants and hotels had long since
formed a combine to serve, beans only on
the days specified because the Boston dis
position to subsist on beans alone had
gradually knocked the profits out OF the
business. II the average citizen Of Bos-
ton can get beans for breakfast, dinner
or. supper he wants little else"

The Journal band Is making careful
preparations for the big concert to be
given at the Lyceum theater March 5, for
its own benefit. . The band has given
many concerts in the past, open air and
otherwise, for the benefit of other organi-
cations, and, in fact, has contributed it's
services free OF charge at many events of
public character.
This is the first occasion in the history
of the band, which has now been in ex-

the band has solicited public patronage
on its own account at a benefit concert.
