craft through the difficult Quincy Point
dravbridge which is just below the
Fore River works. Having passed this
Mace the battleship was turned over to
Cant. Francis H. Cleverly Of Hull, who
directed her down the Weymouth Fore
river and out through Hull Gut into
Massachusetts bay. At Boston Light,
CAPT. William Smith of the Boston
TeWboat Co, assumed charge which he
was to retain during the trial cruise.
The battleship, which is the first steel
craft Of its class to be contracted in the
New England yard and which is de-
signel to be the most powerful OF any
thus far completed, carried crew OF
$50 men. For purposes of the test to be
made she carries 1000 tons of hand
picked coal. She sailed, today, with
practically everything ready for going
into commission. In her turrets We're
the big - ana S-inch guns and in their
proper places the 6-inch rapid fire guns

Captain Donaldson Retired.

Capt A. NJ. Donaldson OF the fire depart
ment, who was found guilty on charges Of
lax administration and ordered reduced to
the ranks. will be retired instead. This ac-
ton was taken today by the District Com
missioners upon the recommendation of
Commissioner Macfarland. Captain Dom
aldson has been in the department twenty
years, and as a private rendered good and
faithful service. His career as a captain
has not been successful, however, but In
consideration of his entire service he will
be retired instead of reduced. The pay of
private is $500 year. to which Donald
SON would have been entitled had he ac-
cepted the reduction in rank. As 1t Is he
will sgeta little more than $500 per annum
and Nsntnpt have 70 render any service.

Names for Bridges Wanted.

To the Editor of The Star:
The potent influence Of The Star is sought
In securing the adoption of names for the
two new bridges across the Potomac de-
signed to replace and supplant the Long
bridge. One was built by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company for the use Of It's cars
and the other was built by the government
as a public highway. Neither has a distinc-
tive name, that is, far as the local news
papers are concerned, so it is not strange
that there is confusion among the people
on the subject. Both bridges are indiscrim-
inately called 1.-The Long bridge after the
discarded structure of ancient and I'M
savory memory To distinguish them
apart, The Star in particular calls one the
railroad bridge and the other the high
way bridge" scrupulously avoiding the use
of capital letters in each case. That desig-
nation is sufficiently descriptive of the
bridges, but is certainly not distinctive
There are other railroad and highway
bridges in the District of Columbia, but
each of them has a distinctive name For
instance, there is the Pennsylvania railroad
bridge across the Eastern branch and high
way bridges named follows: The Chain
bridge, the Aqueduct bridge, the Anacostia
o. Navy Yard bridge, the Pennsylvania ave-
bridge, and the Benning bridge, to say
nothing of bridges across Rock creek.
These names are not only distinctive, but
descriptive as we'll of their character in
the case of the Chain and Aqueduct bridges
and of their location In the case of the
others. If the new bridges are to retain
their present indefinite designations of the
railroad bridge and the highway
BRIDGE and / see no good reason why
they should not, why do not the newspa-
pers adopt them their regular names ?
To do so it would be necessary only to
have the intelligent compositors put them
n type as the Railroad bridge" and the
Highway bridge" capitalizing the initial
letters in each case, as Is the invariable
rule 1 believe, with all proper names. At
any rate, give each Of the new bridges a
nome to distinguish 1t from others without
iEtimatng by the absence Of capitals that
there are no other railroad or highway
bridges in the District A. ]. CLARKE.
