GIANT RIVER TUNNELS.

NEW YORK.

Completion of Borings Under Hudson
River-One of Greatest OF Engineer
ing Feats-
After half a century of speculation
on the practicability of tunneling the
Hudson river from New Jersey to the
island of Manhattan, it is now posi-
BILE to walk dry-shod from Jersey to
New York. The twin bores have been
completed; that is, they have been cut
through and cased in, though of course
some finishing touches are yet to be
put upon them. 1t was a few days
ago that in the presence of the engi-
neers, the directors and a dozen re-
porters, w. G. Oakman, president of
the Hudson Companies, split an old
brick bulkhead with a hydraulic jack
and completed the first Manhattan
Jersey tunnel system. There was a
six-inch gap in the wall. A gang of
ground hogs" rammed the breach a
little wider, and the party crawled
through into New York city.
The old wall that was cut through
was seven feet thick. 1t is the relic
of a former failure to tunnel the
Hudson. Twenty-three years ago the
engineers of the old Hudson Company,
after cutting a considerable distance
under the river, abandoned the enter
prise and walled in the unfinished
work with this brick bulkhead.
Two tube-tunnels run parallel be-
meath the Hudson river, the work of
boring them being done under direc-
tion Of the New York and New Jer-
sey Railroad Company, but this COM
pany entrusted the actual performance
of the work to the Hudson Companies.
The present tube has been two
years in the course of construction.
Tho tubes will cost when completed
about s13,000,000, and the entire work
will cost about s30,000,000.
Fifteen Feet in Diameter.
The tubes are 500 feet long, 15A
feet in diameter and are intended for
one track each, with a sidewalk for
workmen. Two tubes have been start
ed on the New Jersey shore, to run
under the river to Cortlandt and
Church streets. These tubes will be
16A feet in diameter. The tubes just
completed will connect on the New
Jersey shore with the Pennsylvania
and the Lackawanna terminals. In
Manhattan one branch will connect
with the subway under Fourth ave-
nue. at Astor Place. Another branch
will run to Sixth avenue and Thirty
third street. A trip through the entire
length of the tunnel from the subway
to Hobollen will cost only five cents.
About six hundred men have been en-
ployed in the tunnels.
Cars will be running through these
tube-tunnels in eighteen months. The
safety of transportation in the tunnel
needs no demonstration, for trains will
run in a steel tube the strength of
which to resist pressure has been care
fully worked out. Being laid from
fifteen to fifty feet below the river
bed, it cannot be affected by the ac-
ton of tidewater. The tube is a steel
lined hole in the earth. and except for

Grown at Gardiner Hubbard Mansion
1t was originated by Peter Bissett
and will be put on the market by
Florist f. II. Kramer, of Washington.
Bissett is the head gardener of Mrs.
Gardiner Hubbard, the widow of the
late Gardiner Hubbard, at one time
president of the National Geographic
Society. She is the mother-in-law of
Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor
of the telephone. The new rose was
produced at her beautiful suburban
residence, Twin Oaks, just outside of
the national capital.
The leading florists Of the country
have known of the existence Of this
rose for year and have made various
tempting offers for it, but it remained
for Florist Kramer to offer $4,000
and finally secure the beauty.
Such a fabulous sum for rose
seems insignificant, however, when it
is remembered that but a few years
ago Thomas Lawson of "Frenzied FL
nance" fame paid $4,000 for a mere
carnation, while the greater amount
of $125,O00 was expended for the "Fi-
ancee" carnation. 1t is hinted that
Mr.. Lawson cleaned up over 100000
out of the Lawson pink and the buy
ers of the "Fiancee" carna ton easily
doubled the amount expended.

Origin of the American Beauty.

And yet the American Beauty" or
whom every flower lover is fond has
a very, very sad history. A number
of years ago a Washington gardener
who made only a speciality Of garden
roses, received from abroad a ship
ment of plants. among which was a
"mongrel." This, with out-of-door cul-
ture produced very large and fragrant
blooms. 1t attracted the attention Of
Thomas Fields, Washington florist.
Nothing was known by him of the
forcing qualities of this rose in the
greenhouse, but as he rather liked its
color and general appearance. one af-
ternoon while her husband was alb
sent. he purchased the single plant
from Mrs. Ready for five dollars.
Ready, when he retured and was told
of the sale, believed that his wife had
asked too much for the flower. Fields

that it exceeded even his fondest
hopes. He named II the "Amorican
Beauty" and probably cleared $25,000
on this one deal. To-day Ready is

AN UGLY THREAT
A TINsMITH ALARMED BY THE
TREMBLING OF HIS LIMBS.
Finds Out How TO Regain Control OF
His Nerves and Is Freed From
the Greatest Anxiety.

It is a much easier task TO meet the
attack of an open enemy that to dwell
in constant dread Of an assault in the
dark that is vaguely limited at and
may come at the first unguarded mo-
ment. Hints of possible nervous break
down may well terrify any workingman
for his command over his nerves is
large part Of his capital. Mr.. William
Browne, Of No. 1919 Lincoln street,
st. Joseph, No., is an expert timer in
the employ Of the National Biscuit
Co. He tells the following story of
a trying experience:
"In the spring Of 1892" he says,
"while was regularly working at my
trade, grew somewhat careless in my
habits Of eating and drinking, and
finally found that my appetite was
tickle, a bad taste fingered in my
mouth, my nerves twitched and were
beyond my control, my kidneys were
out of order, and cold sweats would
break over my body at odd times Per
haps, while 1 stood talking with some
one, this trembling Of the limbs, and
profuse sweating, severe chill would
seize me. / became alarmed at my
condition and, having read an adver.
tisement of DIR. williams Pink Pills,
7 got box and began using them.
They helped me at once. After l had
used one box the twitching Of the
nerves, the trouble with the stomach
and the cold sweats stopped and have
not reappnred, and my appetite is
good. / have told several friends that
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are all right
and 1 recommend them to every
body"
Much has been said and written re-
Gently about medicines that contain
alcohol, and, while most Of the criti-
cism has been unnecessarily alarming,
it is evident that a remedy in pill form
is certain to free from objection on
this score. Furthermore, DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People are abso-
lutely guaranteed to be entirely harm,
less to the most delicate constitution
and may be taken without fear. They
have cured thousands Of cases and il
you will writo to DIR. Williams Medi-
cine Co., Schenectady, N. Y, stating
your trouble, you will receive frank
reply. If the pills will cure you, proof
will be furnishedj If they are not suit
ed for your trouble, you will be hon
estly told so.

South
City ManWh for CeenHd

The thoughts Of the most dyed in the
wool coclCney turn TO the country in these
days Of sprngtime. The trees and the sun
shine may call him no further than Central
Park, but be wanders there. Those who
love nature more deeply 60 farther afeld,
and some would like TO remain nearer
natures heart than New York.
New Workers are buying country homes
in Vermont, in Virginia and on the Eastern
Shore Of Maryland They 60 there for the
riding and hunting OF for the farming and
fishing. The country homes Of Virginia
have in particular grown valuable since
the men Of the North have begun TO buy
them. Yet one need only intimate a de-
sire TO buy q home in any part Of the coun-
try to receive convincing evidence that
there are still many 10 be had.
Take the weary city man with little
money but longing for country life that
is stronger than ever in spite Of his con-
viction that he could not afford a country
home. What must he think Of one that
costs only s2Oo7 Yet such place exists
and awaits a buyer:

but great big value for the money! worth the

fall. lock up and put the key In your pocket
TIL the next season-the place will not run
away. neither will thieves break In.
There IL a farm TO be bought In Virginia,
and the 800 acres are held at only 5000.

ohusetts bargain for $500. Only part Of
these payments need be made in cash. and

situations. Both kinds Of sites are TO be

ginia summer resort and sportsmen's para

best. All the smaller game are found In
abundance which makes this small farm an
ideal place for a clubhouse. Price $500.
These are the cheapest among a num-
Der Of places in various parts Of the country
offered for sale. But there are others that
offer ample variety, without the necessity Of
paying city prices. One reveals fidelity

Making New York fats a standard, there
are homes that don't cost any more than
q nat would for a year. OF course there
would not be 50 much steam beat, nor any
shiny entrances; but one would own them
and there would be no rent to pay at the be-
ginning Of each rapidly returning month.
Here is a typical one In a village not far

Il Is not only the window boxes that
testify to New York's growing love Of
flowers. You see flowers and decorative
plants everywhere about houses where
they can be displayed TO advantage. What

April found most window boxes filed
with little dead trees which II was natural
10 replace with seasonable flowers. The
many charming effects that florists and
private taste gave 10 these window gardens
started the vogue, and people who had not
had window boxes ordered them. that they
too might give their homes the pretty air
that bloomladen sills lend 70 houses.
Pansies, b yacinths, geTaniums and English

All window boxes. They lend themselves

OF the dignity Of the house shall be lost.
Too much care cannot be taken TO pre-
serve formality OF appearance. A city
house IL not like a country house In this re-
spect and does not admit Of the spont aneity
Of floral decoration that suits the country
house. To preserve this dignity Of ap-
pesrance, flowers harmonizing with the
color and architecture Of the house should
DO chosen.
