time, but the dying woman evidently
knew that she had won her consent to
the marriage. She sent for her hus-
band. He went to her bedside and she
expressed to him the same sentiments
that she had uttered to her nurse.
Eismann promised as she wished. He
said there was only one condition at
tached to his promise, and that was
that the wedding would take place pro-
vided the proposed bride acquiesced.
Mrs. Eismann said she felt certain Miss
Schmidt would consent to marry her
husband after her death, and she add
ed that she felt happy. She died some
two months ago.
Consequently, George Eismann and
Lizzie Schmidt are now preparing their
wedding plans, and everybody in ia
maica is talking about the forthcoming
event and the odd request on the part
of dying woman that led up to it.
Both the prospective bride and BRIDE
groom admit that their coming mar
riage is the direct result of the promise
exacted from each by Mrs. Eismann as
she lay on her deathbed. Eismann ad-
mits that he loves the young woman
whom he is about to make his wife, but
regards it as highly improbable that
their wedding would ever have come
about had not his late wife insisted
upon it before she died.

The general government, having
withdrawn from the field of road con-
struction in 1892 has since done little
in that line until very recently. Eight
years ago congress appropriated a
small sum of money for the purpose
of instituting a sort of inquiry into
the prevailing condition of things per-
tanning to road matters. This appro-
priation has been continued from year
to year and increased during the last
two years with view of cooperating
to a limited extent with other efforts
in road construction.
The general government can per-
form certain duties pertaining to sci
entific road improvement better than
any other agency. Scientific facts as
certained at one time by the general
government will serve for the enlight--
eminent of the people of all the states,
and with no more cost than would be
required for each single state to make
the investigation and ascertain the
facts for itself
With a view to securing scientific
facts in reference to the value: OF. road
building materials, the secretary of ag-
riculture has established at Washing
ton. D. c., a mechanical and chemical
laboratory for testing such material
from all parts of the country. Prof.
L. w. Page, late of Harvard university,
is in charge of this laboratory, and has
tested many samples of rock without
charge to those having the test made.
There is, however, no test equal to the
actual application of the material to
the road itself.

e No problem of more general impor-
tance has ever confronted the people
than the problem of good roads. 1t is
a problem concerning which all per-
sons are agreed, but the working out
of it practically has been fraught with
great difficulty and the progress made
thus far has not been great, although
it is encouraging. Minnesota has al
ways taken an active part in the good
roads agitation. The state association
is one of the most enthusiastic in the
country. Much good work has already
been accomplished in this state, but
there remains a a great deal still I'M
accomplished. Before snow flies, how
ever, the state will have received a
greater impetus in this direction than
it ever had before. 1t is to be toured
shortly by a government good roads
train, owing to the kindness of J. j.
Hill, who has donated a special train
for that purpose which will make a
hundred days journey, giving at diff
ferent points practical object lessons
in good road making. This practical
demonstration is one of the most i'm
portant public events announced in
this state for many years.
Good Roads Train Idea.
More was accomplished for the cause
of good roads in this country last
year than had been accomplished in
the ten years preceding. This was due
to the efforts of Hon. Martin Dodge,
director of the public roads inquiry de-
partment of the national department
OF agriculture; w. H. Moore, presi-
dent of the National Good Roads asso-
citation, and Col. E. w. Richardson,
government engineer.
The famous Southern Good Roads
Train" which is to be duplicated in
Minnesota and the Northwest during
September and October of this year,
gave advanced road making the great
est impetus it has ever received.
These same gentlemen will have
charge of the Good Roads Train to be
operated in this state. 1t will consist
of ten special cars equipped with all
the necessary machinery for the con-

&c. Wi1led Her Husband TO Another.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. Be
hind the announcement of the forth
coming marriage of George Eismann,
q young farmer of Jamaica, L. l., to
Miss Lizzie Schmidt, of the same place,
lies a problem that for centuries has
ba1led students of human nature who
have sought to solve the mysterious in
fluences that dominate a woman's
heart.
The person who arranged the mar
rage, who made the MATCH" as the
neighbors of the prospective BRIDE
groom say, is dead. She was Mr.. Els
mann's wife and on her deathbed she
made her husband promise that after
she had been laid at rest he would
adopt as her successor in his affections
the woman friend whom, next to her
husband, she loved more than any
one else.
Mrs. Eismann was dying and knew
1t. She had made all her preparations
for leaving the world. She had seen
her shroud made ready. She had set
tied her affairs-settled all but one
question, and that was one, apparently.
that had been preying upon her mind
for some time. In her illness she had
sent for her friend, Miss Schmidt, to
nurse her. The young woman had
been her companion in all her waking
hours when her husband was not at
her bedside. 1t was to Miss Schmidt
she confided the last secret of her
heart. A very brief time before she
died she said to her:
When 1 go my husband will marry.
L cannot bear to think of his being the
! husband Of strange woman. I want
him to be the mate of woman I know
love him dearly, and 1 hope the wom
an he marries will care for him as well
as would have done if 1 had lived. 1t
is my dying wish that you, my dearest
and best friend, shall take my place."
Miss Schmidt gazed at her friend and
patient in establishment.

connected with the road question as
possible. The local community having
the road built is most largely interest
ed; and is expected to furnish the COM
mon labor and domestic material The
railroad companies generally cooper
ate, because they are interested in hav-
Ing better roads to ands from their
railroad stations. They therefore,
contribute by transporting free or at
very low rates the machinery and such
foreign material as is needed in the
construction of the road. The manu-
facturers of earth handling and road
building machinery cooperate by fur
nlshing all needed machinery for the
most economical construction of the
road, and in many cases prison labor
is used in preparing material which
finally goes into the completed roadbed
The contribution which the general
government makes in this scheme of
Co operation is both actually and rela-
! lively small, but it is by means of this
I limited cooperation that 1t has been
possible to produce a large number of
\ object-lesson roads in different states.
These have proved very beneficial, not
I only in showing the scientific side of
the question, but the economical side
as well.
Road Commissioner Budd, of New
Jersey, an acknowledged expert, says:
State Aid an Essential Feature.
In all great systems of road build
ing the states have been the foster

Persian. empire, connected the eastern
and western frontiers of his empire,
2,700 miles apart, with such a splendid
system of military roads that couriers
could make the whole distance in ten
days when common roads would re-
qu1re many months. The great en-
pire of Alexander was made possible
through these roads, which he care
fully managed to keep in the samN
condition. The great highways of the
Romans, numbering many thousands
of miles, many of which have endured
| for ages, were the strongest bonds in
the development and maintenance of
their empire The improved roads of

ton of their respective governments,
