 From where I stand I can see farms once almost depleted of their virgin fer tility by the wasteful methods of slave cultivation, rich with promise of an abundant yield due not only to seasonable rains but to a system of farming which is gradually improving on those old and imperfect methods.

But rather in the clear, strong, hopeful, independent look in your eyes, I gather more certainly than from any other source the glorious fact that the door of opportunity Is wide open to all, and through its portals I behold lofty pillars of enduring marble raised to illustrate and perpetuate the fame and glory of men who have risen to the highest peak of eminence from the poorest and humb1est ranks in life.

WILL PAY FOR TWO BRIDGE PLANS

$4,000 One Will Be.

1t was learned yesterday that the change of
architects for the Manhattan Bridge has al
ready cost the city $4,000, and may run up $3.50
more. Originally Henry F. Hornbostle was en-
ployed by Commissioner Lindenthal. His contract
called for S26,5O0 He has already received $4,000
and has claim pending in the Controllers office
for the balance.
All that has been used of his plans was for the
piers which completed. The rest of the plans
have not been officially discarded but, as Carrere

they will utilize the work of their predecessor.
This means that the city has paid twice, practt-
cally, for plans one set which 1t will have no use
for and the set which Carrere & Hastings have
about completed and which Commissioner Best said
Yesterday he would submit the Municipal Art
Commission in week ten days.
