MAY YET GET NEW BRIDGE
CITY ENGINEER THINKS WAR
DEPARTMENT WON'T BLOCK
WORK AT THIRTY SECOND
AVENUE N.

Andrew Rinker, city engineer, is
collecting a lot of information con-
corning the Thirty-second avenue N
bridge, which he will submit to Major
Derby, Of the war department en-
gineers, who is in charge of the work
on the upper Mississippi. The gov
eminent wishes to see the detailed
plans for the substructure and super
structure, and asks for data regarding
stages of water, distance of the bridge
from other bridges, and many other
things.
While T h e J o u ais dispatch
from Washington yesterday indicates
that the war department will not APP
prove the bridge until it has been au-
thorized by congress, it is believed
that when the matter is properly pre-
sented to the chief, his consent to con-
tinuing the work will be obtained.
The new bridge is to be located
between the Northern Pacific railway
bridge at Twenty-fifth avenue N, and
the 500 railway bridge at Camden
Place, neither of which is supplied
with draw for passage of river
boats. Hence the Mississippi is not
navigable at Thirty-second avenue N
and the bridge will not interfere in
the least in any matter in which the
government is interested.

SOMEBODY TELL THIS
TO ANDREW CARNEGIE

F. ,f. i :
Another Minneapolis candidate is
mentioned for a portion Of the Car
negie hero fund. Denny SewelPs
name was the first presented. Denny
rescued children from the nav of the
Mississippi and lost his own life. John
Adams rescued a Scotch collie yester-
day from the same Mississippi and
lives to enjoy the distinction.
Both risked all they had to save
life. That's what the friends of the
special officer Of the Humane society
are asking this morning.
And the collie was brave too. 1t Is
learned to-day that it belongs to Mr.
Blackenhore, proprietor of the White
meat market at $50 Fifth street NE
Tuesday night he was following his
master from Minnetonka. It is sup
posed the dog dropped thru the oper
sidewalk where the steel arch bridge

on the boom from Tuesday night
until Thursday noon.

der of the order. He outlined at some
length the proposed change in the in
surance assessments, by which the
older members Of the order will pay
more than they have been paying. He
urged the organization of a great
camp for Minnesota, even tho the
plan had been defeated.

KEPT HIS PROMISE
Jester Had to Take Bath to Make His
Word Good.

.- . y e. g. n =
Wednesday evening the serene quiet Of
Excelsior harbor was disturbed when a
man was seen rushing down the steam
boat dock and taking a desperate plunge
into the lake. Wild excitement followed.
Cottages rushed to the shore, there was a
frantic search for life preservers, and
life lines were thrown out, but the man
was forty yards offshore by that time
and waved a cheerful greeting to the peo-
pie behind.
It was G. w. Hamilton, summer guest
at the Bayview cottage, Excelsior, pay
ing wager. Some time ago Mr.. Hamil-
ton made an agreement with H. F. Helm,
who is also summering at the cottage.
Mrs. Helm had been promised launch by
her husband, but as the promise was not
followed by the deed Mr.. Hamilton
doubted the sincerity of it, and boldly
made the assertion that eff the launch
ever steams into Excelsior harbor I shall
jump off the big dock" Mr.. Helm came
up to the hotel Wednesday evening in
viting his wife and II friends to take a
ride on the new launch. Mr.. Hamilton,
like man Of his word did not shrink
when his hour came, but plunged into

LEAN FORWARD WHEN DRIVING

It is no longer considered smart for car
rage folk who drive OH Fifth avenue or
in the park in New York to lean back in
their victorias in the attitude that would
suggest they were enjoying their drive at
ease. The latest form seems to make it
imperative that the occupant of an open
vehicle, be it victoria, or hanson, shall
lean forward in an attitude of expectancy,
with one foot extended as tho the person
was about to alight at the next moment.
This rule seems only to apply to women,
for the men lean back as Of yore.

than the cork, how much did the cork

Almost instantly one of the ladies
was ready with the answer:
"Why, the cork cost 5 cents and the
bottle $105. That's too easy"

When Lord Roberts was out in India

meat went, the officers We're practical

the evening on which the commander
in chief arrived he was asked what
he would like for breakfast. What is
there?v asked the visitor. well" was
the answer, I'VE have ortolans." "That
will do" replied Lord Roberts. .Let
me have some ortolans." Now, the of,

morning and shooting his own ortolans

with common hedge sparrows There
was nothing for it but to serve them
up, and when the cover was removed
