WITH ELYSIAN PARK
City Council Will Order Expenditure
of $325,oo0 for Improvement.
Great Activity in Real
Estate

The proposition to construct steel
bridge for pedestrians and for driving
and street railway use spanning the
railway tracks and the arroyo, extend
ing from Fremont gate at Elysian park
on Buena Vista street to Avenue Eigh-
teen and Downey avenue, a distance OF
three and a half blocks, will be acted
upon favorably by the city COUNCIL at
the meeting tomorrow The bridge COM
mittee that has had the proposition un-
der consideration for some time will
submit a report recommending that the
bridge be constructed, and 1t is conf
IDENTIFY expected that the report Will be
unanimously adopted
The construction of this bridge means
the expenditure of 1926, 200, of which
amount the Southern Pacific Railroad
company will pay 100000. The liberality
Of the railroad company largely influ-
enced the bridge committee in coming
to speedy decision to make favora-
BILE report, and as a consequence good
feeling has existed among the MEM
bers of the city council for several
days
This improvement is one that the
people of the First ward have been
striving to have made for several
years, and Councilmen Blanchard and
Ford have been active in working for
the construction of the bridge. The
improvement means big boom for real
estate and other property in the First
ward. especially along Downey avenue,
and since it is as good as assured that
the bridge will be built it is given out
that the council will at once order that
Downey avenue be paved with asphalt
east to Pritchard street.

Physical Indications That You May
study For Yourself.
Every person carries about with him
the physical indications Of his longevi-
~. 4 long lived person may be dis
tinguished from short lived person
at sight. In many instances a physi-
clan may look at the hand of q patient
and tell whether he will live or die.
The primary conditions Of longevity
are that the heart, lungs and digestive
organs as well as the brain should be
large. II these organs are large the
trunk will be long and the limbs com
paratlvely short. The person will ap-
pear tall in sitting and short in stand
ing. The hand will have long and
somewhat heavy palm and short fin
gers. The brain will be deeply seated,
as shown by the orifice Of the ear be-
ing low The blue hazel or brown ha-
gel eye, as showing an intermission OF
temperament, Is favorable indica-
ton. The nostrils being large. open
and free indicates large lungs, 4
pinched and half closed nostril indl-
Gates small or weak lungs
These are general points Of diStinc-
ton from those Of short lived tenden-
Giles. but of course subject to the usual
individual exceptions. Still. it is well
acknowledged that the characteristics
noted are expressions OF inherent po~
tentiality, which have been proved on

ance was started by him in 1868, and
there has since been no break in the
yearly Thanksgiving proclamations
since that date.
The first Lincoln proclamation ap-
pointing a day for divine supplication
was dated Aug. II. 1861. 1t desig-
mated the last Thursday in September
AS "a day of humiliation, prayer and
fasting" Things did not look especial
ly bright for the northern arms just
then. The memory Of Bull Run was
still fresh. Perhaps to this fact may
be ascribed the pathetic wording of
the document:
Whereas, When our own beloved coun-
Try, once, by the blessing OF God, united
prosperous and happy, is now afflicted
with faction and civil war, 1t Is peculiar
ly fit for to recognize the hand of God
In this terrible visitation and in sorrowfuI
crimes as a nation and as individuals to
humble ourselves before him and to pray
for his mercy.
Thousands of individuals through
out the land refrained from food and
regular Thanksgiving in November.
1861, was a rather subdued occasion
and there was no presidential procla-
nation. By the following spring, how
ever, the clouds had begun to lift.

captured aud Shiloh had been fought

Quested that the people give thanks

The momentous year of 1868 saw
three such proclamations, however.
The first was dated March 30 and
designated April 30 as day of fasting

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS:
Assaulted by a Neqro.

Miss Mamie Marsh, a respectable
and well connected young lady Of
Jackson, was assaulted and outraged
in the very heart of that city a few
nights ago, by a negro. A negro
named Stewart Johnson was cap
tured and identified as the guilty
wretch by a negro boy who claimed
to have witnessed the assault. The
people were in a great state of ex-
element, and doubts were enter
tanned as to the truth of the boys
statements, and the negro was spir-
tied away to prevent a ~lynching.
Later another negro has been ar
rested upon strong circumstantial
evidence. Gov. Vardaman has a
Pinkerton detective from Chicago at
work on the case, and every effort is
being put forth to ferret out the
guilty scoundrel who perpetrated
the deed.

The trial and Impeachment of Judge
Charles Swayne were the result Of
statutory allegations. There were IL
in all.
1t was alleged that Judge Swayne APP
pointed improper persons to be COM
missioners of his court, that he showed
gross partiality to friends-one lawyer
being ver particularly favored. He
was further charged with oppression
and tyranny in imprisoning two men
on what was claimed as fictitious
charges~of contempt. The suicide Of
one man was attributed to this alleged
oppression.
Other counts in the charges against
Swayne were that he maladministered
bankruptcy cases, dissipated estates in
fees to favoriues, that he eXOnerated
guilty criminals and was ignorant and
incompetent.
Miner charges, completing the IN
dictment, were hat Swayne made false
expense accounts to the government,
borrowed money on notes Endorsed by
iitigants and attorneys and went on q
long iunket as the guest of a railroad
receiver, who was a litigant in his
court.
