LIGHTING OF A CHILD's ROOM

The lighting Of the child's room is a

standpoint and also from one of con

Good Housekeeping. If gas is the illu-
minant 1t should never be left lighted
longer than is absolutely necessary. IL
n night light is required then little
night lamp should be procured but
even then it is a pity that more moth
ers do not train their children to be ac.
customed to sleeping in room with.
out light. 1t is so much more
healthful. Where lamps are in use We
far roo often see children squirting be.
cause the strong lamplight is directly
on line with their faces. Their elders
seldom stop to think of this from their
superior heights. 4 light should never
be placed so that its rays flare into a

Fabulous Prices Offered for Hearses
but Drivers Will Not Yield to
Temptation.

CHICAGO, Dec 19.-The liverymen'
strike continues unabated. Fabulous
prices were offered today for hearSe
by relatives of the late Frederick Otis
the millionaire, and Judge Jones
Hutchinson, one of the most prominent
Illinois jurists. both of whom died two
days ago. In both instances the re-
quest was refused. Arrangements
were made to convey the remains to
the cemetery in dead wagons. the

CURED this morning at the funeral of
Mrs Joseph Vlock, who was murdered
a few days ago. Her body, accom-
panied by her two small children was
hurriedly driven from her late resi-
dence to St. Procopius church. In an
ticipation of trouble a detail of police
had been sent to the church where a
crowd of 800 men and boys had gath
cred. When the dead wagon arrived
curses and catcalls We're hurled at the
driver and the undertaker's assistant.
The police were compelled to charge
the mob with clubs before the body
could be carried into the church. Only
the two children were permitted to
enter the church. They cried and Sob

as the priest conducted the service.
The police meanwhile stood in solid

the police again charged the crowd and
then formed two solid lines between
which four officers carried the coffin to
the hearSe, which was then driven rap
idly away, the driver lashing his horses
forward while the remainder of the
police squad checked the mob. SINH
lar scenes were faced at otter funerals,
but the disorder was not so marked.
In one instance owing to the lack of
a conveyance the priest was compelled
to conduct the service for the dead at
the home before the body was removed
in an express wagon.
Nearly rs funerals were scheduled
for today but they had to be post

Exercises In the CabiIdo.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. 19.-In
the old Cabildo. where one hundred
years ago We're held the ceremonies
that marked the passing OF the great
Louisiana territory from The posses
sion of France to that of the United
States, interesting exercises were held
today in celebration of the centennial
of the transfer. The Cabildo was then
the seat of government for the terri
tory and is now used by the supreme
court.
The ceremonies today followed as
closely as possible the program of one
hundred years ago. AS on that oC-
caSion representatives of France, Spair
and the United States played the lead
ing parts. The speakers included Gov
ernOr Heard of Louisiana. NJ Jusser-

at Washington. A feature of the eel
ebratiOn was the reading of the trans

the Cabildo exactly as one done CEN

the structure is 11S feet, as compared
with IS feet, the width OF the olu
Brooklyn bridge. Its minimum helght
above mean high water at pier hedu
lines is 122 feet and its mlnlinulil
height for 200 feet on either SIDE OF
the centre of the main span is 100
feet. The heights of the cables on the
top of the towers is 333 feet at their
center.
Three thousand and y-eight tons
Of steel have been used in constructing
each Of the towers, while nearly H.
900 tons have been put into the great
approaches. In each of the suspension
cables, which are 1874 inches IN dlam-
eter. there are 1896 separate wires,
these wires being $500 feet long
and three-sixteenths of an inch IN
thickness. Six and One-half million
feet of timber were required 10 con-
struct the bridge and the steel en-
ployed amounted to 10000 tons. 1T was
necessary to excavate 125.OOO cubic
feet of earth ard to tear down sever
al hundred buildings and houses.
= Both of the towers are planted on
solid rock foundations. For the Man

carria ges. four trolley tracks. two ele-
waited tracks. two foOtwalks and two

Authority for constructing the
bridge was contained in a law enacted
by the state Legislature in 1895. In
October of the following year the first
work was begun on the Manhattan
tower foundation. ON April IA 1901,
the first wire for the temporary foot
bridge was strung, While the first wire
Tor the permanent cable was stretched
across the following November. The
cables were finished in August of 1902.
The opening of the new bridge is eX-
pected to relieve somewhat the over
burden of traffic on the Brooklyn
bridge. This measure of relief. how
ever, will not be nearly so great as
might be supposed at Il first glance at
the situation, for the reason that the
gerat bulk of traffic that will use the
new structure have heretofore crossed
the river by ferry and have not used
the Brooklyn bridge to any extent. The
ultimate relief of the Brooklyn bridge
crush lies in the completion of the
third bridge across the East river al
ready under construction at point
about midway between the brooklyn
bridge and the Williamsburg structure
opened today. In addition to these
three bridges a fourth is to connect
Manhattan with the Brooklyn shore by
way of BlOckWell's Island so that New
York in a few years will be able tC
lay claim to the title of the city OF
magnificent bridges.
