The new Williamsburg bridge, across
the East River, New York, is nearing
completion. 1t will be one of the most
marvellous structures of it's kind in the
world and one of the handsomest.
When it was begun it was estimated
the cost would be about $4,000 OO0.
One of the commissioners said a day
or two ago that there had already
been expended on the work $21, 600, 900
and that $4,OOO,OOO more would be
necessarily spent before the bridge
could be opened for traffic, making the
cost &C per cent. above the original
estimate. The cost of the next bridge
TO be constructed, the Manhattan, is
estimated at s16OOO,OOO. though like the
other the final figures will doubtless
ha a great deal larger.

A RANKER,s WARNING.

At the convention of the Minnesota
Bankers Association in ST. Paul this
week, John w. Lusk, president of the
German American National Bank of
that city, uttered some words of warm
ing that are being commented on very
generally. He pointed out that the
banks were banking too much on pros
perity-that is, they were taking too
great risks-thinking probably there
was no end to the present period of
prosperity. He said he was in Chicago
a short time ago and learned that the
country bank balances at that point
had decreased $4,000, 900. 1t seems that
the country banks were using their
money in various kinds of enterprises
which promised good returns. Presi-
dent Lusk, speaking of the banks of
Iowa, the country banks, said they were
treading on dangerous ground, and
that the majority of the country banks
of Minnesota were tied up for money
and that their balances were lower
than for a long time. II hard times
come before these banks get themselves
in condition to withstand the strain
upon them the probability is that a
great many of them win yield to
the pressure and close their doors. Mr..
Lusk said there was hardly a day now
in St. Paul that they did not hear of
some country bank in trouble.
OF course Mr.. Lusk did not wish to
be understood as saying that there
was reason for apprehending troublous
financial times. He simply wanted to
say that there were signs that the
banks would likely be subjected to
considerable pressure in the near fu-
ture, and that it would be advisable to
be prepared for it. In the course of
his address he said: There never
was a better time to put a bank in
good order than in good times, because
you can't do it in bad times. 1t is
| just like putting a roof on a house in
pleasant weather, because you can't
do it in bad weather"
Mr.. Lusk endeavored to impress upon
the Minnesota bankers the Importance
of putting their banks in order now,
! because, as he said, good times will not
last forever. The inference to be drawn
from his remarks was that while he
did not look for a period of business
and financial depression just yet it was
bound to come. and 1t might come
sooner than expected. Therefore the
wise banker would put his bank in a
condition to meet it when It came.

We learn from the Boston Globe that
at harrington. r. L., the other day
there was dedicated to the black
slaves of that town and their descend
ants an unhewn quartz boulder bear
ing the inscription: I'm Memory of Ne
gro Slaves and their Descendants,
who Faithfully Served Darlington
Families. Erected, 1902 The Globe
recalls that Rhode Island was one of
the last states of the North to abolish
slavery, which she did in 1884, at a
time when slaves were worth $15 to
5000 each. Newport and Bristol were
once the principal ports of slave entry.
and naturally many slaves were held
in the state. But Rhode Island did not
abandon the institution until she had
sold her stock on hand down to about
5000 head, of very poor quality, to
judge from the Globes quotations.
When she had unloaded on the South.
Rhode Island joined the righteous New
England sisterhood.

nothing so sensational in the items

labor in the harvest fields. Bidding
was lively, too, and some husky col

Minneapolis Strong in Base Run.
ming and Sacrifice Hitting
Fast Fielding Plays.

The Minneapolis baseball team opened
the season auspiciously by defeating the
ST. Joseph Western league team at LeaV-
enworth yesterday by q score Of II to 8.
AS usual in ante season games, the. nit
ting was heavy on both sides. The mill
ers. however. got seventeen runs off sew
enteen hits and six errors by the Western
Leaguers. while ST. Joe could only make
eight off sixteen hits and two errors sby
the n1illers, although Belvin raped out a
homer off Sporer in the third with three
men on bases. ~ ,--..a
Wilmot was not in the game electtng
to give Flavin, the Chicago league out
fielder, a chance to show his ability in
right garden. A casual glance at the
score indicates that the millers will, as
usual with Wilnot's teams, be strong in
base running and sacrifice hitting. Four
acts Of martyrdom were recorded IN yes
terday's game. .- - .-..- -,
The big total Of hits secured by st. Joe
does not mean that the local pitchers were
weak, for Wilnlot declined to put: in any
iof his "big four,"t katoll,, Stimmel, ST.
iVrain and Vasbinder. Sporer, Martin and
Thomas off1ciated on the slab Thomas
pitched only the last inning, but he re.
tired the opposing batsmen one, two
three.
Features of the game were a difficult
one handed catch of a fly in deep center
by Lippert: a sensational stop of a line
drive by Bolin, and Yeager's capture of 9
short infield fly, doubling a runner a.
third. ,*... =:
