ION F4ME'S ETERNAL CAMPING GROUND"

General Alexander Mcdowell McCook, who
died yesterday. perhaps. as a soldier, the
most prominent of all the members OF the
two Ohio families that gave both fathers and
fourteen sons to the military service Of the ma
ton. The lapse of years has obscured the III
dividual achievements which make up record
astonishing and glorious, If not absolutely un-
precedented under any flag; but the appellation
of the fighting McCooks' is still almost as
familiar as his own name to every American
boy.
1t is title which contains not the fafntest
suggestion of such reckless and violent propen-
sites as would have tainted the honor of wear
ing it. 1t was conferred by popular acclaim on
men of peaceful temper but heroic strain, who
simply could not resist the country's call for
sons who loved her well enough to die proudly
and gratefully in her defence. The mists of
time have enveloped those fields of valor and
sacrifice, but the thought of such a race of pa
triots will always touch the heart and stir the
blood of every one who is fit to be an American
citizen.

SOME BRIDGE INCIDENTS.

The Williamsburg Bridge is nearing compile
tion The Manhattan Bridge is just beginning
and plans are being made to acquire land for
the approaches to it. Some food for thought Is
to be found in incidents connected with these
improvements. On the Williamsburg Bridge a
large amount OF space was provided Tor ele-
waited and trolley car tracks. in the expectation
that the railroads would rent the right to use it
This expectation was natural in view OF the
fact that the elevated railroads in Brooklyn
themselves projected bridge, and for years
promised to build one, but deSisted when they
found that the city would do the work for them.
What is the disappointment, then, when the
CITY authorities find the railroads seemingly in
different TO this chance. They show no disposl-
ton to pay anything like an adequate rental for
the structure though doubtless they would con-
sent to use it if they could secure the privilege
for little or nothing Their attitude has sug-
gested the possibility of making an arrange
ment with the moving platform projectors TO
take reope from Bowling Green to the Brook
lyn end of the bridge, and there are some argu-
nlents to be made in favor of such plan. The
Brooklyn cars could do no more than make
loop in Manhattan, and could not deliver their
Datrons within easy walking distance of down.
town shops and offices. Certainly even If the
Parsons plan for a new tunnel and loops to 1t
from the Williamsburg Bridge is adopted, it
would be well to consider the advisabifty of
giving up a limited space on the bridge TO the
moving platform to supplement the elevated
trains using the bridge, the loop and the tunnel.
Some alternative TO giving up the bridge to the
railroads for practically nothing should be in
reserve.
In view of the unreadiness Of the railroads to
nav literally for bridge privileges, it is inter
estiBc TO note that the latest estimate places
the cost of the land for the Brooklyn terminal
alone Of the Manhattan Bridge at between
S4OOO,OOO and $5.000000. Moreover, that land
is now assessed at S2.5O0,000, and the assess
ment rolls will suffer to that amount from the
condemnation 1t looks as if the whole bridge
might cost S25O00OOO Will the transportation
companies vino will it, and who, as they
must use it TO make it OF service will be in
Dosition to dictate terms ever pay anything like
an ADEQUATE rental for the bridge? Yet if the
Van Wyck administration had not been blindly
opposed to tunnels, equal transit facilities
might have been secured in shorter time by
tunnels at no expense to the city. The Belmont
syndicate has stood ready for a long time 70
build tunnels without asking any loan of the
citv's credit even. and as the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit wanted to build the South Ferry tunnel
it is reasonable to suppose that it would have
bid for franchise for tunnel in the neigh
borhood of the Manhattan Bridge.
II is now too late to change the plans. but the
handling of this feature of the interborough
transit problem is monument to folly and ex-
Tavagance.

GOODBY, DROUTH!
citizen.

Thursday nights rainfall in this vicinity was
the heaviest which has occurred since threaten
ing conditions set in week ago. At the gov
ernment station in New-York City the record
for the few hours preceding 8 a. m. Friday was
1S4 inches. This amount was four times
great as that which fell earlier in the week, and
went far toward offsetting the deficiency from
the recent drouth. At the close of April the
metropolis was behind on its precipitation
count only about an inch and quarter. May
represented a further shortage Of three and
quarter inches. making a total of four and
half inches when June opened. Already, in
single week. more than two and a half inches
has been received, and it is not unreasonable to
expect as much more before the current month
closes
The disproportion between the earlier and
later rainfalls of the week in other places is
not quite great as in NewYork City, perhaps.
but it is apparent that New-Jersey, Eastern
Pennsylvania. Central and Northern New-York
and New-England have been fully as fortunate.
The drouth in the extreme western part of this
State was virtually broken a fortnight ago. The
chief need then existed further east. in the very
region which derived the most benefit from
Thursdays and Fridays downpour. Of course,
belated rain cannot make good the damage al
ready done to crops and forests, but an ample
guarantee is now furnished that trouble is
averted.
Although there has been almost no Interrupt
ton in the prevailing cloudiness for the last
week. New-York City has been under the infu-
ence of three separate storm centres during that
period. One developed in the Ohio Valley on
Saturday, June 6, worked its way slowly north
eastward, and merged in the lake region with
another which had been advancing from the
northwest The latest visitor came up the At
lantic Coast Thursday and Friday, and may
have been identical with an innocent looking
depression that appeared in the Gulf States
Tuesday. Whatever its origin, it was attended
with particularly heavy precipitation, and in
some OF the Atlantic States there was a little
700 much of good thing. A copious and sud-
den rain is far less of blessing than slow and
gentle one.

He responded one night to note left at his door

asked severely
Don't you know that your boy is coming down
with the measles?"
YES" replied the wife. IT knowed it,
'Then what in the world did you mean by saying
he had bad cold?' asked the doctor.
The woman hesitated moment then, looking at
