Longest Stone arch.

Up 70 a year ago the Cabin John
squeduct bridge, near this city, says the
Washington Star, was the longest clear
span masonry bridge in the world, with
a length of arch of 900 feet, but since
then two German bridges have been
built which surpass it in length. The
first one was built at Luxembourg, Ger
many over the River Petruss-. and its
arch span surpasses that of the Cabin
John span by 55t5 feet. This summer
a bridge at Ptauen, Saxony, will be COM
pieted, which has the remarkable span
of 1852 feet, thus taking rank as the
largest olear-span masonry bridge in the
world, a title which the Cabin JohH
bridge held for many years.

GIRLS BODY FOUND.
Discovery of Lost Josie McCahin In
"a Chimney.

"a Chimney.
NEW YORK, May 13.-Wrapped in
rags, the body of Josephine McCahill,
six years old, who disappeared from
her home on May 2 and who, it has
been thought, was kidnapped, was
found last night in the chimney of the
building where her mother lives at
1889 Third avenue
The disappearance had created great
excitement in the neighborhood of her
home, and many have been the ru-
mors concerning the cause
So general has been the interest that
various well known men had offered
$3.50 as a reward or as u ransom If it
should be discovered that she was kid
napcd.
Plans had been made to hold a mass
meeting in Terrace hall at 30 East
One Hundred and Fourth street to urge
the necessity for more satisfactory ar
rangements to prosecute the search for
the missing girl.
The body was lodged near the top
of the chimneys and it was necessary
to tear away part of the masonry to
release it. 1t is thought hat the body,
which was terribly cut up and mutt
lated, was placed there within a day or
two. 1t is thought by some that the
child fell from the roof down the
chimney while playing.
SO great was the crowd that gather
ed about the house when the news of
the grewsome find spread hat reserves
from the East One Hundred and
Fourth street station were hurried to
the scene in a patrol wagon to preserve
order.

Windle of Chicago. The Rev. Sam
Small advised against voting for Par
ker if he We're nominated.
Tho convention instructed the thirty
delegates to the national convention to
vote as Il unit for Judge Parker Of New
York for president and Endorsed Thorn
as Taggart for national committee
man and recommended him TO the ma
tional committee as it's chairman.
The first test vote on the o%rganl2a-
ton of the convention showed the
Parker forces to number 1904 and the
Hearst following 4GS. The vote on in
struction for Parker was 954 to $50,
many delegates being in sympathy
with the plea of the Twelfth district
that its two delegates be allowed to
vote their sentiments for Hearst, the
plea being that otherwise it might en-
danger the state of Representative
Robinson. Democratic congressman
from that district. This was the only
district Of tie thirteen carried by the
Hearst following.
A feature of the convention was the
demonstration that followed the men
ton of the name Of Mayor George B.
Mcclellan of New York. The cheer
ing lasted for several, minutes, several
hundl ed delegates and spectators ris-
ing and waving hats and handker-
chiefs.

PEACOCK PLUMES POPULAR.
Once Thought TIC Be Unlucky, but
now Appear in Up-to-Date
characterization.

For centuries many people have had
a dread of peacock feathers, fearing that
the wearing of them would bring evil
fortune. The superstition has nothing
to warrant it's existence save its age,
for there seems to be little foundation
in history for it. Recently the publish
ers Of a well-known English magazine
were forcibly reminded of this when
they issued their holiday number with
an elaborate peacock design on the
cover.
The magazine found no sale on the
new stands and the publishers were
actually obliged to recall the issue and
provide a new decoration.
Whether it would be possible to make
IS popular is hare to tell. Perhaps il
might be done il fashion should take
it in hand as she has the peacock feather
design. The colorings are rich and dark
toned and are used for hats, gowns and
ribbons in every variety Of style.
Lady Curzon, vscereine of India, is
surely o prejudiced against the pea
Z cock feather, for she has an entire gown
\ made of the applied peacock eyes. 1t is
like a magnidcently embroidered velvet
and marvellous in coIoring.
" Stunning buttons are seen made to imi-
tate the peacock eye. They seem to have
been designed %purrosely for the green
and blue changeable taffcta walking
suits.
The peacock design appears also In
belt buckles. hatDins, brooches and sci
in long chains, with Il charm of a single
eye inclosed il glass, supposed to be as
lucky as the forT-leaf clover. One
unique design seen at the opera YVES a
comb for the back Lair of French gray
silver. A peacock feather, exquisitely
carved. trr9ed over the top, and the
l''eye" was A.. ccmbination of oriental
stones in richest greens and blues.
A few unusual ornaments like this in
a woman's jewel tox add a charming
touch to the tireso,ne sameness of fash
ion.

falling into the enemy's hands, the
Russian government has requested the
United States to change the route Of
all mails sent from or through this
country for Manchuria and Siberia.
Until now the mails for Siberia and
Manchuria have been sent over the ST.

Flight of Big Birds.

Of birds now in existence, probably
the one with the greatest expanse OF
wing in proportion to the body and
with the greatest power of flight is the
frigate or m~an-o'-war bird. This bird
apparently flies more by skill than by
strength, for it has not great carrying
powers. The wandering %albatross, the
largest of all ~seabirds, is also II of
our strongest flyers One bird was
known TO fly at least $3.50 miles in Il

handle last Friday night and
| Judging from reports it was gen
eral in its scope west to the
Texas and New Mexico line,
south as far as Plainview and
north good distance from ANA
rillo. This was without doubt
the best rain that has fallen in
this immediate locality for over
a year.
1t is thought by some that in
this county good acreage of
wheat will yet be redeemed
from what was considered a total
failure before the rain. Almost
all the farmers had more or less
seed in the ground of different
field crops common to this coun-
try and those who were not so
fortunate in having planted be-
fore this will now begin the
work in earnest.
Later. And still another fine
rain, almost as good as that of last
Friday night, fell in this and sur
rounding counties last Monday
evening. 1t is quite apparent that
the rainy season for the Plains
country has begun in earnest. e.,

MastOdOn At Newlin.

The remains of huge masto
don, EN- bedded in a bank, have
been found.in a draw near New
lin, Hall county. Attorney J.
Z. Wiley, who was in Newlin
Sunday, was shown a huge
tooth, fourteen inches long and
weighing ten pounds, that had
been brought from the scene of
discovery. AS further evidence
he was shown several mammoth
bones, and the ball from the hip
Joint of the thigh bone, which
was about eight inches in di.
ameter.
The skeleton is well exposed
to view and is bout fifteen feet
long. A party Of men from
Newlin were to have finished
uncovering the remains Sunday
but the sand storm prevented
the excursion.
Some of the bones are petritied,
others seemingly in natural
state while still others crumble
with handling. The tusks were
in the last named condition.
Quanah Observer.
The fossil remains of this
specie of the elephant life is
furnishing a profitable industry
to miners in the Klondyke. 1t
is the theory Of scientific men
that some time during the long
drift period the mastodons were
overcome by some sudden catas
trophe, probably by some sub
sidence of the land and an inva-
sion by the sea, and all killed.
The tusks of this animal range
in length from 10 to Is feet and
10 to II inches in diameter.

From the best information that
the News has been able to secure
concerning the rains of last week
and that of Tuesday, it seems that
these, as have been all of those
that have fallen this spring, have
been spotted. However, it is a
safe assertion, based on creditable
reports, that within the last four
weeks the entire Panhandle coun-
try has been visited with good
rains. There is not q question of a
doubt but that such favorable con.
ditions will stiffen the price of steer

There have been few if any cat
tie driven to shipping points on the
PecoS Valley road this season for
sale in the open market, the ex-
perience of shippers in this respect
last spring having been sufficient
to satisfy the producer that he was
in this manner placing himself
completely at the mercy of the
buyer. The thinning out process
will not necessarily have to be re-
peated this year for the range is
not Overstocked and conditions
were never more favorable for the
Stockman to hold his stuff until he
can set price at which they are to
be sold with some degree of indie
pendence. If it is to be a game of
"fllnch" the producer will not have
TO do the flinching this year.
