England Grown More Sober.

Henry Watterson.
 In nothing have the habits of gen. tlemen more changed than in the use of wine Time was when each plate and table was enfiladed almost sur rounded, by an escort of wine glasses, ranging from sherry to champagne. and tapering thence to Mlderia and brandy port, claret. Burgundy, the red alter hating with the white-and he was no good man and true who did not go through the list and survive 1t. To- day at the great houses you may have what you want. but rarely more than three glasses are visible, for white wine, for red wine and for champagne. Apoliinaris is largely in evidence. The fine old English gentleman who made it a merit to get drunk on port and to sober up on claret has disappeared.

 don't like the sound of that. Never ciS. It sounds like a death knell. As if no dog ever had but one day. To one who has had a day 1t is very sad, for perhaps that day was early in life and it gives the prospect of so many after years without day--a day ones very own. There are many days Of many kinds. that are due in the life of every dog. and each as important as the other and as full of joy, if he will bave 1t so. The trouble with he human dog-I mean this in the most complimentary sense--is that the little child is trying to have the day of the half grown youngster, the school girl. not satisfied with the day due her. strives to have that of the young wo- man, the young woman that of the young matron; the mother that of--no the welcome days stop here and from then on to the end the joys of the glori- ous days of the summer, fall and au- tumn of life are spent in signing for the past ones of spring.
 Every dog has his days. just one day of a kind. But each is beautiful If they are only valued. lived according to the fitness thereof, and enjoyed.
 The first sign of a turning back to other days, in a woman, is a growing vanity. It comes as she hears forty. She begins to try to persuade herself and her friends that the day that was hers is not gone. but that by some special dispensation 1t has stayed with her. she recounts to her friends the compliments received on her extreme iy youthful appearance and retained beauty. She shows how the lines are not coming and the weight not in-

She counts her friends by the hundred, not only in Selma. but in many cities, especially in Demopolis, where she has successfully taught in the public schools for several years A pretty tribute to her worth was the lovely gift sent by her Sunday school class in Demopolfs Immediately after the ceremony, MT. and Mrs. Fuller left for an extended trip to New York and other cities via Norfolk.

MARRIAGE OF MISS PEGUEs

MARRIAGE OF MISS PEGUEs
 AND MIR. FULLER.
 The following account of a wedding fin Selma will be of interest here, where the bride and groom have many friends;
 MT. John Albert Fuller was united in marriage to Miss Henrietta Pegues Wednesday afternoon in St. Paufs Episcopal Church, Rev. E. W. Gamble officiating. The ushers were Messrs L. E. Jeffries, R. P. Anderson, E. C. Melvin, Robert Coleman. Daniel Par fridge, Jr., and Harry Pegues.

 A New Broom Sweeps Clean!
 It does nothing of the kind
 There Is nothing more stubborn and less satisfactory than a bran new broom. It leaves streaks of dust on a polished floor and won't go in the cor ners. Turn 1t which ever way you will,
 1t seems awkward. It is only after
 broom has acquired adaptability that
 it is joy-when the straws lose some of the stiffness and all bend in grace full curve the same way, forming point in one side to get into the cor ners.
 It Is all a bluff--a mistake--this rep
 utation of the new broom. and the idea causes many mistakes in the human family. Stick to the things that have
 been tried and not found wanting some of the things. or find more plausible reason for not doing so than
 that A New Broom Sweeps Clean, for 1t does not.
 One place 1t applies-to a new ten ant. He sweeps cash from a landlord s
 pocket. One of the puzzling things Is why does a landlord do so much more for a prospective, new, untried tenant than for one who has paid him good
 rent for years? One smart woman played new broom and did do up an in considerate landlord from whom she had rented a residence three years. She found 1t impossible to persuade him to do some necessary repairing, and SO gave up the place. She got another female clever villain to be her accom- plice and rent the house, saying that some friends of hers who were to move to the city in the fall had left the se- 1 lecting of a home to her and stipulat- ing certain conveniences that had been unknown quantities in said house up
 to date. She assured the landlord that l her friends were good tenants and prompt pay. The happy landlord at once went about arrangements for three times the Improvements request ed by the tried and not found wanting tenant. who reluctantly consented. for { a consideration. to allow the repairing
 to be done in her summer absence, | It is going on now-the landlord ! is oblivious, but when October comes he will be little puzzled when he notes
 the extreme likeness of the old tenant | to the new.
 Now all landlords look over your list
 and try to find if you are he. You | won't discover, for two very clever Wo-
 men are into this scheme.

PROGRESS ON NEW BRIDGE.
Steel Work en- Highway Draw in Posi-
tion-The Remaining Structure.


All the steel work on the draw Of tho
river highway bridge Is In position and
workmen ore now employed In boiling and
rivetlng the parts OF the massive structure
together In q complete whole. While the
steel men have been employed on the draw
large force has been engaged in build
Ing the sidewalks on brackets on each side
the bridge IN laying the grauolithic paw
ing and concrete roadway and In finishing
the work of the steel structure.
1t Ia stated the work of installing the
electric and hand power machinery that
VIII operate the draw will be started within
the next few days, and as soon possible
the draw will be swung open at right angles
to the bridge. In order to open the river
channel TO navigation. The construction OF
the remaining span on the Washington side
OF the draw Will then be started. This Ia
the last span to be built but IL is eN-
pected IT will be several weeks before the
work on the draw will be far enough ad-
vanced TO allow It to be swung open.
On the District end Of the bridge a large
force OF men Is engaged in building new
beds for the electric railways that will run
over the new bridge and are widening and
improving the approaches. on the Virginia
side the work on the approach is progress
sing slowly and less than a quarter OF the
material that will be needed to make the
high embankment from the Columbia pike
to the bridge is In position.
1t is stated, however, that the approach
will be finished and ready for use by the
! time the bridge is completed and open to
| public travel. Two trains of six or eight
| dummy cars are kept In service ON the work

will follow Wednesday morning. The Fed

Inscriptions Criticised.

The trusees of the institution have never
discussed these questions formally. They
have not yet formed a plan or even an
opinion, although they have doubtless re-
ceived many suggestions and have given
the matter much thought. 1t would be i'm
possible for them TO have escaped the COM
ments of visitors or those of the students
upon the personal character of some of the
exhibits of the museum, for example, or
the Inscriptions that detace certain portions
of the building. | counted the name of
Jane Leland Stanford in thirtyfive different
places and the name of Leland Stanford In
tifty-seven; and while one must admit that
both of them had the right to inScribe
their names upon their own property wher-
ever they pleased, they should be protected
from the criticisms that are always dl-
rected at the display of such taste. The
Memorial Chapel, for example, which is,
with possibly one or two exceptions, the
finest piece of ecclesiastical architecture in
the United States, has been debaSed by the
introduction Of personal inscriptions and
paintings and marbles which Mrs Stan
ford was induced to buy from spectators
in Europe. A magnificent arch, which fur
nishes an entrance to the most stately
quadrangle of modern scholastic architec-
tuEe has beneath it a bronze group of the
Stanford family.
