So why not let Little Duke go to de Row, and learn to sell papers, and make sure dat he'll know how to earn a living, no matter if all your savings are took by Providence?"

 You are a wise mama" says Duchess, but Providence don't count when it comes to getting away de savings dat French born goil has put by.

WONDER what's all dis rough
 house about ditching Broad way? I has known dat lane since I sold papes in Park Row, and it never wasn't walk trough orchard, or a stroll on de beach by moonlight. Oats what makes it Broadway.
 De fois1 t,ple I ever was in de country, when 1 took me job wit Miss Fannie, dere was so much nolse dat it near turned me into a fit. It keep me wake nights; and in de day was lodging fire engines, cars, ambulances and trucks dat wasn't dere, till I near crossed me eyes trying to see bote ways at once. Let me tell you; most of desc mugs dat's making de holler about de Broadway ditch isn't on to de proposition. If New Workers ever struck little old By when 1t wasn't torn up or down, or being sewed or gassed, or wa ter lined, or rooted for wires, or paved or repaved, or retracked, or ditched, dey would run from it like dey was chased by plain close men, and had de goods on em.
 I'm telling you dat what makes de litle old Main street Number One wit all Manufacturers is dat dey gets all de fun and exercise of mountain climbing, mining, Mort Pole finding, and frontier life witout never leaving Broadway.
 Isn't dere plenty of places in New York where de houses is up and de streets is down? Sure. But what do you see dere?-a small lot of belt-liners out for a walk, and cat or two, wit a few nois- sery maids looking for de cop dat never comes.

"Avaunt de day" he says, using forn woids now and den, to keep me guessing, when our prin- cipal avnoo of commerce, trade, bargain counters, first nights, lob sters and cocktails shall be navi- gable witout de aid of guide, Pinkerton man, rope ladder, and package of foist relief for de in- jured; Broadway as it is, is what makes it delight. Otherwise, why not go home by anodder route? When children can play puss-in-de-corner, and bean-bag in Broadway, witout overcrowding

Over to New York City,

New York, Dec. 21.-The new Will
liamsburg bridge, the second and great
er bridge across the East river, connect
ins the boroughhs of Manhattan and
Brooklyn, was turned over to the city
and formally opened Saturday, the ded-
icatory exercises including military pa
rades from both sides of the river and
the meeting in the center of the new
bridge of Mayor Low and the Manhat-
tan borough officials, speeches in the
plaza at the Brooklyn end of the bridge
and a dinner at the Hanover club,

evening by great water demonstration
and naval parade and magnificent dis.
play of fireworks from the bridge.
The new bridge, construction on
which was begun October %, 1896, is
about mile above the Brooklyn bridge,
which it greatly resembles in type and
appearance, though it is much larger.
Its length between terminals is 1900
feet and its width 11S feet, the Brook
Ign bridge being but IS feet wide. The
bridge proper cost about Sill 900 900, and
the condemning of land for approaches
brought the total cost to about s21 ,O0o,-

New York, Dec. 81. -R. G. Dun &

Business is decidedly better than at
any recent date, and the Improvement
is not confined to activity in holiday
goods, although the best reports con-
Germ those lines. Continued lower tenn
perature not only stimulates sales, but
jobbers are receiving supplementary
orders FOR seasonable goods, and COL

Idle machinery. On the other hand,
here is no improvement of the situa-
lion in the cotton industry, and fuel
producers are restricting output. Con-
adence is increasing in the iron and
steel industry and the feeling is becom-
ing more general that prices will not
be materially lower except possibly in
some departments that have not yet
