GOVERNOR RECEIVES
PRINCE HENRY'S PHOTO
Emperor's Brother Has Evidently Not
Forgotten His Meeting With
Van SAINT.

1t was a trif1e late in coming, but
yesterday Gov. Van SAINT received a
photograph Of Prince Henry of Prus-
STA.
At the time the chief executive of
Minnesota. visited Chicago to meet the
Prussian prince he Jared society by
punching the royal visitor playfully in
the ribs and greeting him with, Hello,
Mr.. Prince; come this way and meet
my staff
While decorations of one kind and
another were forwarded to other Off
Gals who participated in the welcome
given to Prince Henry, Gov. Van SAINT
had seemingly been forgotten.
There was some discussion over the
failure to decorate the governor of
Minnesota, and a number Of our best
citizens who did not have the oppor-
tunity of meeting the royal guest shook
their heads and remarked that Prince
Henry had not forgotten the rough
and-ready welcome extended him by
the chief executive of Minnesota, and
the chances were that his name had
been scratched from the list of those to
be remembered.
These prophecies were not correct,
for yesterday there arrived from the
German consulate at Chicago a photo
graph Of Prince Henry, addressed to
Gov. Van SAINT, and the photo was &C
companied by the following letter:
Il have the honor to inform you that
have been ordered by my government
to hand you a photograph Of his royal
highness, Prince Henry of Prussia, as
a personal gift in recognition of the
share which you had in the reception
and entertainment of his royal high
ness while in this country.
-"Zaepffely,
Acting Imperial German Consul"
The photograph, which shows the
prince in the uniform of a general, is
mounted in a handsome buff leather
frame, and on the top of the frame, Just
over the picture, is crown and the
letter "H' in gold.
1T looks exactly like the prince did
when l met him." said Gov. Van SAINT,
"and it is certainly very pleasing re-
membrance of our meeting"

sd. Paul a CITY of bridges.

: St Paul city of bridges.
Sixty span the depressions that ma
ture and man have so literally sprin-
killed. over it's fifty-five square miles of
area, and the number is being yearly
added to.
If placed in a continuous line their
length would be nearly five miles
Their cost to date, including main
tenance, is not far short of $3,000,000.
To speak of St. Paul as city of
bridges is applying a term that will
hardly be appreciated by some, but to
those who daily traverse their airy
heights, and Engineer G. S. Edmon-
stone, of the city bridge department, in
particular, st. Paul as city of bridges
is a stern reality.
The first bridge of any consequence
that the Sanity City has any record
OF is what was known as the ST. Paul
bridge, now rebuilt and called the

venience to the residents of the imme-
date locality in which they lie.
Latest Type of Bridge.
The newest steel bridge in st. Paul
is that over the Great Northern tracks
on Raymond avenue. 1t is one of the
latest types of bridge construction and
is considered among the best in the
city. 1t was built in 1900 at a cost of
over $4S, 900.
While steel structures are in the
majority, st. Paul owns no less than
twenty-three wooden affairs and five
stone bridges. The latter as a rule are
In as good condition as when first
built, but the wooden structures are
being replaced with steel as fast as
possible. Next year, if the sanction of
the council can be obtained, five wood
en- bridges will be torn out and steel
substituted
This is to be done in the case of the
Mendoza bridge, one Of the four which
the city erected at points outside the
city for the convenience of the farm
ers, whose trade Minneapolis was talk
ing away from ST. Paul. This bridge
will be almost wholly rebuilt from the
old spans of the Wabasha street bridge.
which now lie rusting on the West
Side.
Art in Bridge Building.
One style of bridge which Bridge En-
glneer5 Edmonstone hopes to see adopt
ed in St. Paul for small structures is
the concrete steel bridge, now in sue
cessful use in many cities In this
ease concrete is used in covering the
framework of steel, the whole being
worked out in designs that give it an
artistic effect. One of this style Of
bridges is talked Of for Lexington ave-
nue., which the park board is prepar-
ing to convert into a parkway.
Last year the city invested $158,00
IN new bridges and repairs to the old
ones, and the coming year it is expect
cd fully as large a sum will be invest
ed. This, in many instances, will be
Tor the replacing of wooden structures

and most substantial steel bridges
owned by the city.
Spanning the Mississippi.
Of st. Paul's sixty bridges those that
span the Mississippi river are the larg
est and costliest. There are five of
them, including the Fort Smelling
bridge, and they are a never ending
source of wonder and admiration to the
tourist.
Of the five, the Smith avenue or
High bridge represents the highest
attainment of engineering skill and
until a few years ago had not a SUI
perior in height or length of span.
Towering 1872 feet above the water
level it is magnificent structure. COW
ering a distance that the pioneers of
st. Paul little expected would ever be
spanned. Its cost to the city was lit
tie short of 100000 sum which when

Says That the Society Has Not Been Ac-

East Thirteenth street, whose death a
Few days ago was supposed to be due to
the effects of vaccine poisoning.
Those people never knew there was
such a society in the city," said Mr.
Grfggs. II, as president of the society,
never visited them. The belief that the
child's death was due to vaccination came
through the ordinary channels, and 1 re-
ported it. I never held any communica-
ton with the family.
The publicity the case has received
has caused many ridiculous statements.
perhaps none more so than that made by
the attending physician, who could see
no connection between the scratch made
on the childS left arm and the swelling
that afterwards resulted in the neck. The
physician says he does not see how the
two could be reconciled. 1t is such an
absurdity that am loath to believe he
