AMERICAN SILvERSMlTHS
Are Preparing TO Invade the English
Market with Their Artistic Wares.

American manufacturers of silver
ware are preparing to invade the En-
glish markets. The originality and
artistic finish of the American prod
uct has been recognized in the Brit
ish Isles as elsewhere, but without
the English hall mark as n guarantee
of the purity of the silver it was i'm.
possible to make any headway. One
difficulty in the way was that the
hall mark could not be affixed after
the goods were finished, as the tests
for purity would disfigure them.
TO obviate this the manufacturers
made arrangements to ship the sill
yerware to England in a partly fin
ished condition, have the hall mark
affixed and sent back to the United
States for the final stages of manu-
facture, after which it is to be
shipped to England for sale.
Inquiry was made at the treasury
department whether or not duty
would be assessed on the goods when
brought back from England, and the
department has ruled that no duty
will be levied, as the silverware
would not be considered as having
been advanced in manufacture within
the meaning of the law by the af
fixing of the hall mark.

LAUDS WASHINGTON.
Prof. TriGGs Says That as Writer He
Ranks Above stevenson.

If University of Chicago students
act upon the advice given them the
other day by Prof. Oscar L. Triggs,
they will put aside their books on
fiction and history, such as those
written by Stevenson and Macaulay,
and when they want prose works of
the highest literary type they will
turn to the writings of George WASH
ington. In n lecture to one of his
classes Prof. Triggs declared that
thought and not rhetoric gave the
value to a literary production. He
said:
''In my opinion, the value and the
effectiveness of prose, like that of
poetry, depends upon the contents
and not upon the form in which the
matter appears. l believe that action
and experience would give writer's
work a higher place that rhetoric
and expression. On these grounds /
would place Washington and Benja-
min Franklin upon n higher literary
plane than Stevenson or Macaulay.
Washington wrote but little, but
what he did write is based upon
knowledge gained by actual expert
ence. Therefore, it has practical
qualities such as the works of Steven
son and Macaulay wholly lack. Stew
enson was mere rhetorician, and his
writings lack the force which is con-
tanned in the works of Washington" :"
Prof. William d. MacClintock, of
the department of English, attacked
the practice of theater going when
INDUCED in as a pastime. He de-
clared that the theater goer should
expect to be benefited by patronizing
the theater, and should choose those
operas and dramas which will be of
didactic value. In referring to the
stage of the time of Shakespeare he
said it filed the place occupied by
yellow" journalism to-day by at
tempting to satisfy the more de-
praved tastes of man.

Good Roads Promote Trade.

The countries of Europe were for

j. w. Welpton Of Ogalalla, an cntcrpris-
ing Nebraska banker, is now located in
new banking rooms, which have been re-
painted, paporcd and furnished in elegant
style. II is said to be one Of the coolest
little banking rooms in the west end Of
the state.
The new building was formally opened
November 1 by serving coffee and waters
in the bank parlor, which was nicely

decorated for the occasion. Among the
out-of-town visitors were James Ware of
Blair, John NJ. Daughcrty and II. Hitch
cock of Omaha and J. p. Adams OF Denver.
The Exchange bank was established by
J. w. Wclpton in 1897, organized as a
state bank in 1900. The business has been
steadily increasing from year to year. MIR.
Wclpton is n shrcwd, careful banker, a
member of the American Bankers assn-
citation and an active member Of the Ne
braska Bankers association, and is worthy
the confidence of all. We predict that
the business OF the Exchange bank will
continue to prosper under his management.
The bank funds are protected by one Of

architecturally as the old? The old
one has beautiful granite towers and
the new one will lack the grandeur
that they gave. But the new one will
be the more graceful, owing to the
open steelwork that is used through
out.
In relative strength the new one will
not Guido the old. But its actual
strength will be far greater. Where
the old bridge has only 85 feet width
of roadway, the new one will have 118
feet. The old one carries only two rail-
road tracks that were built for it, al
though two additional tracks have
been laid, one on each carriage way.
The new bridge will have two lines of
track for regular railroad traffic and
four tracks for trolley service In
stead of one sidewalk, it will have two.
In addition, it will have two bicycle
paths.
In general construction and design it
| does not differ materially in most re-
| spects from the present bridge. It's
span is 1000 feet between towers, and
| its approaches will make its total
| length between terminals 1900 feet, zoo
feet more than the old bridge. The
| height of the roadway over the river
| will be the same as that of the old
134 feet at the center of the span. Bu'
| the towers of the old bridge are only
27S feet high, against the 332 feet OF
the new bridge. j. w. Muller.

leaving the Brooklyn navy yard that
lies just below. Other warships, ~one
of them a mighty battleship, lie in
berths there. While we are looking,
the engineer raises his hand to warn
us of a dangerous spot in the path
And instantaneously all the picture is
gone. So high are we that his hand
suffices to blot out a navy yard and
all its ships!
A ferryboat passes under US. Beau
tifully distinct, like the image in the
camera obscura, are its passengers,
with the hats of the women making
gaudy patches of color in it. We count
ninety-four persons on the forward
deck and four big, two-horse teams
and trucks. But I hold out my OUT,
spread hand over the gulf, and, 10! my
thumb alone serves to hide them all.
Over the River.
Now we are descending the foot
bridge toward the center of the span,
over the middle of the river. We have
to grip the guy rope with power and
lean backward as if we were trying to
haul something up the incline. Be sure
that none of US has the least desire to
let his momentum start him to hurry
ing down that swinging aerial way.
Tugboats and side wheelers, lines of
| lows, ocean steamers, pass below
of
them cough spitefully, trying to puff
their black smoke at US. But it dissi-
pates miles and miles below. Miles
and miles below floats a triple row of
excursion barges, dashed together and
| crowded with people from stem to
stern. We see a f1uttering of white.
| 1t is as if one saw the wind stir daisy
studded field far away. Those are hun
| dreds of handkerchiefs that are being
waved at US black specks that crawl
on the cobweb filament far above them.
In the center of the span the wind
catches us. Back and forth, up and
down, rolling like ship in a gentle
seaway, sways the footbridge. The ems
gineer cheerfully and apropos of moth
ing that we care about at the time,
mentions that the men are so proud Of
having completed the work of cable
| spinning that they have begun already
to take the iron trusses off our meager
roadway. That, he explains with the
satisfaction of science, is what makes
the footbridge swing so. He stops quite
unnecessarily to explain it.
Then we begin the ascent toward the
New York or rather Manhattan tower,
though nobody ever calls it that, even
by accident. If the climb from the
Brooklyn anchorage to the tower was
hard, now, in the light of present trou-
BILE. it seems as if it had been pleas

under us, tells us suddenly that there
is such a thing as dizziness. If we
thought that we had experienced it be-
fore this, we learn now that we did not
know what the real thing was. In
spots here the spaces between the
planks of the footbridge are wide
enough so that ones whole leg would
go through if there were a slip. 1t
WouldDbe entirely impossible for ones
body to follow, but-every man holds
his breath as he steps over the terri
BILE yawning chasm of seven inches.
When we arrive at the top Of the
tower at last we find that there is a
gap over which one must take a long
half step, half jump. And to make
matters more delightful, wire is be-
ing paid out with alarming velocity
right through that gap, level with our
feet. Standing at the brink, we can
see little bugs scurrying around on the
street Or are they men? Nobody looks
long enough to ascertain. They are
too far away to be worth while. Every
man, as he finally launches himself
across, has a vivid realization of what
would happen if his foot slipped and
that demoniac wire caught him. What
a bolt he would make for that cata-
pult!
Looking downward from the summit
| here a wonderful, sight is unrolled. To
accommodate the long approach to the
bridge a mighty cash has been torn in
the city. Right through what was,
only a short time ago, the most crowd
J ed part of the world, more crowded
even than the most populous part of
Canton in China, the bridge builders
have cut. What they have left looks
actually vast, bleeding wound. More
| than thirteen solidly built-up blocks
have been RACED. They held enough
| population to make a town of impor-
lance. But the mere destruction of a
town seems only a little thing to us,
standing. on the monstrous thing that
has been reared in it's place.
Win the new bridge be as imposing
