CABIN JOHN BRIDGE
AN OLD WASHINGTONIAN TELLS
OF A VISIT THERE.
Romance Of the Queer Old Hunter
From Whom the Massive Arch
Got It's Name.

Il was at Cabin John bridge, which is
seven miles out on the Conduit road, So called
because along 1t is conducted the city water
supply from the Great Falls" said an old
Washingtonian. ut is the greatest and no.
blest stone arch in the world. Few visitors
to the national capital think of going away
until they have seen this monster span of
220 feet Of masonry. To the late Gen.
Montgomery c. Meigs of the United States
Engineer Corps belongs the honor of the
work. Franklin Pierce was President of
the United States at the time of its con-
struction. with Cameron In the cabinet and
Jefferson Davis also as Secretary Of War.
The names of the cabinet were all carved
on a conspicuous tablet on the right hand
side of the bridge near the top. The name
of Davis was 'pati1lessly chopped out by or
der of Caleb B. Smith, Secretary OF the In
terror during ,theneiyil, war. Congress has
since demanded an investigation and or
dered Davis name to be restored.
But to my story. I took the Metropoh-
tan cars to the end of the Georgetown route
in Prospect street. From there alongside
the canal and river on strip of ground be-
tween them we sped on our way. A more
delightful and picturesque ride could hardly
be selected, looking over the wide, placid
depths and shady pools Of the Potomac,
viewing the lofty and precipitouS Virginia
shore of gray rock and the ever changing
panorama of rural scenery. Truly this is
grand medicine for the denizens Of the
crowded city-a paradise in miniature.
Cabin John bridge derives it's world
famous name from an eccentric, poor white
squatter, settler and hunter, upon the
banks Of the runlet. a small tributary to
the Potomac. His advent was a short time
prior to the revolutionary war. Whence he
came he would never tell, and nobody, in
view Of his evident dis Inclination to talk
on the subject, ventured to press imperti-
nent inquiry.
Call me John, he said curtly to few
bold inquirers. and he became gradually
known as John, and the shack or cabin he
had built to shelter him. became known far
and wide as Cabin John. There for many
years he lived, and moved and had his
being. He lived mainly on the small game
and fish that fell to his gun or was cap
tured by his rod and line. AS such charac-
ters usually are, he was genial, generous
and harmless to his own kind the pro-
verbal dove. The records of his life would
make romance well worth the reading.
John always had enough to eat. drink
and smoke and sufficient ammunition for
his CUR. He had miscellaneous collec-
tion Of dogs that enjoyed hunting with h-m,

Iowa's "Old Topper" Cure.
from the Chicago Record Herald

From the Chicago Record Herald.
Iowa has law which provides for the
confining of habitual drunkards in insane
asylums. 1t is popularity known as 1.-The old
topper law" and its enforcement is reported
to be having wonderful effect. Many men
who for years clung to the habit of getting
drunk regularly have reformed and become
more or less useful as citizens. II such a
law has the desired effect In Iowa 1t might
well be tried in other states. The insane
asylum Is the proper place anyway for
people who are habituai drunkards. Surely
no sane man ever Is an habitual drunkard
though drunkards. like all other insane
people. always get very indignant when
they are accused Of being mentally unbal-
anced. II sojourn of few months in an
insane asylum will cure a drunkard 1t will
be well to enlarge the asylums at once and
have "old topper" laws adopted everywhere

are several So-Caled REFORM cafes In which
fresh and canned fruits, jellies, etc, are
served in the American way as a tempting
substitute for the drinks and forms of food
ordinarily provided at such establishments
Until within recent years, fresh fruits, wher
eaten at most German tables, were served
as dessert-rarely or never at breakfast the
first meal Of the day. Now many leading
physicians prescribe fruits at breakfast
and the spread Of this so-called American
practice Is one Of the main reasons for the
general and largely increased importation
and consumption which have become so no.
ticeabie
Along with this has come a vastly in
creased use Of canned, dried and otherwise
preserved fruits, of which the imported sup
ply comes In steadily increasing volume
from the United States. Within the ma ST
year these goods have been put on sale in
immense quantities by the two leading de-
partment stores of Berlin which by means
Of special direct importations, have been
able to offer canned peaches, apricots, pears
and cherries, and dried prunes, evaporated
apples, ETC., from the Pacific and other
American states at prices so far below those
grocers as to open these imported luxuries
to large class of working people with
small incomes to whom they were previous
ly forbldden-because a too castly-luxurv
There Is hardly any reasonable limit to
which the dried and preserved fruit export
trade to Germany may not be in time de-
veloped, provided the business is conducted
skillfully, with intelligent enterprise and in
good faith. "1o* t-ot
Greater Gaze in Packing.
"And il 80 trite and threadbare a warning
may be once more repea ted, whatever fresh
apples are exported,.to Germany this fall
should be specially selected and packed
for the purpose as they are in France.
Italy and the oTyrof. 1t is not necessary
that American apples. the superior tender
ness and favar Of which are now well
known In this country. should be sold here
as cheaply asstheyl have been offered in
former years, rbut itis necessary that they
should be picked, wrapped and packed in
ventilated barrels far more carefully than
which Europesf coi7sumers have been long
accustomed to spay rwhat seem to us high
prices. The best american fruit is up to
the highest standard in all respects except
the methods by which 1t is put up and
handled, and these have been in MANY
cases so rude and careless that losses have
occurred on some shipments Of apples
which have made importers somewhat
afraid Of them. On arrival in this country
they have to compete in the markets and
fruit stores with French, Italian and Ty-
rolese apples, which have been carefully
picked by hand. wiped with dry cloths
each apple wrapped IN soft, porous paper
and snugly laid iayerwise in casks lined
with paper and having open ngs cut In
their ends and heads to secure adequate
ventilation. Such packing win increase the
ordinary cost of the fruit, but need be no
obstacle. The question is not so much one
OF price as quality and condition, and
European methods of packing are necessary
in order to give the American apple q fair
chance in the German market"

NUNS AND DIXON FIGHT
TEN ROUNDS TO DRAW

Hayes Muhs and Tommy Dixon
fought 10 rounds To draw last night
AT Claus Groth hall. Davenport. in the
presence of over thousand persons.
many more than attended the Muhs-
Nerthmann go early last month. Gen
trail satisfaction was expressed over
the decision of Dick Rowland. the
referee. who declared that honors
were even in the contest between the
two clever lightweights.
The bout was an interesting one ON
account of the fact that the two men.
apparently well matched. used very
different styles of work, and were
kept busy with defensive tactics. the
fact of the two men being both clever
and the further fact that the rule as
to breakaways was that they should
be clean, and not with only one arm
free, as is sometimes the case. If
allowed to have one arm free the
fight would have been much fiercer.
or would have seemed so to those
looking on. As it was. the two men
kept about as busy with offensive and
defensive work as they could posi-
bly, be.

INVITATIONS ISSUED FOR
OPENING OF HIGH SCHOOL

Invitations were issued yesterday
for the formal opening of the high
school Friday afternoon and evening,
at which time Il program Will be given
and the building will be thrown open
for the inspection of the public.
Jan. 20 the first classes to advance
in the middle of the school year I'M
der the new plan of semi-annual pro-
motions adopted last winter at the
behest of Supt. Hayden will move for
ward To the ones above them. In the
grammar schools the two divisions
in the same grades are about equally
divided in number, but in the eighth
grade about one-third of the present
class, or something over fifty pupils,
will begin the high school work. This,
it is believed, will tend to increase the
proportion of the eighth grade grad
yates who will take up high school
work. for there will be no interrupt
ton of holiday to enable the pupils
to become engaged in outside occupa-
tions.

Attorney Connen disclosed a romance
in the life of Allie Dool which may
strengthen the defense in its effort
to awaken a belief that the young
woman might have taken her own
life. Mrs. Dool admitted that her
daughter and Frank Owens were en-
gagged to be married for six or seven
years before the compact was brok-
en-. They had corresponded after the
breaking of the engagement.
John {. Dool followed his wife on
the witness stand and corroborated
her testimony in every essential de-
tail.
The entire afternoon session was
taken up with the testimony of b. f.
Felix, the proprietor of the store in
which Allie DooI was employed at the
time of her death; Leonard Marquis
Il clerk in the store, who was also
present, and DIR. \. q. Reynolds, the
physician who attended Miss Dool.
Mr.. Felix and Mr.. Marquis told prac-
tically the same story, describing the
actions of Miss DooI when she was
first seized with the symptoms of
strychnine poisoning. and until she
died. Both agreed that Miss Dool
said she had partaken of chocolate
candy given her by Miss Dunlap and
that one piece was bitter.
\ tilt between Attorneys Searle and
Scott was one of the exciting Incl
dents of the day
