Dancing bridge.

lhe story of an Angry Fiddler and
Dancing Bridge.
The old Sixth street bridge was
suspension bridge, and i'll connection
Herewith q story used to be told. Ev-
erybody knows that soldiers in crossing
q suspension bridge must break step
and bands are not allowed to play
marches because of the cumulative
force of the vibrations, which are apt
TO either destroy the bridge completely
or crystalline the iron cables. Now,
sound is vibration, and this explana-
ton, not very scientifically put here, is
the basis of the story, remembering
that every object Is supposed to have q
keynote, which when struck on a mu-
steal instrument evokes responsive VI
brations in the said object.
The story goes that many years ago
an old man carrying a fiddle in q case
once started across the bridge without
paying toll. He was called back by the
tollkeeper, protested his inability to
pay, but was not allowed to cross.
Threatening vengeance the old fiddler
seated himself on the wharf under the
Allegheny end Of the bridge and began
to scrape away on his fiddle for hours,
apparently trying all sorts Of notes,
half notes and combinations of notes
and chords. Suddenly he seemed to
find what he sought for, for his face
lighted up, and he began to scrape
steadily on certain chord. A moan
went through the bridge. Faster play
ed the old man, and the wire cables
fairly sang in response to the wild
notes of the fiddle. Furiously the old
fiddle scraped away, and the cables be-
gan to vibrate. slowly at first, the VI
brations growing stronger and stronger
rs the keynote sounded on the violin.
The bridge began to tremble, then to
sway
BY this time the tollkeepers saw
something was up, for the pedestrians
on the bridge began to run, drivers
whipped up their horses and men and
women With blanched faces declined to
set fo3t on either end of the structure
\ messenger there were no tele-
phones them was dispatched for the
superintendent, and he came running.
The Cid fiddler was pointed out, and
constable was ordered to arrest him;
hut. there being no suspicious person
law then in existence, the officer shook
his head. The bridge was cutting up
all sorts of capers, swaying back and
forth like swing until Mt last the SUI
perintendent in desperation ran to the
fiddler and promised never to demand
toll from him. An agreement was en-
tered into, the fiddler pledging to keep
secret to his dying Gay the keynote, so
that no revengeful musician ever again
could place the structure in jeopardy
without studying out the keynote him.

that Mr.. Beverage was at work upon
the bill for two months prior to its in
PRODUCTION and was one Of the first per-
SON to call the presidents attention
to the alleged abuses in connection
with the meat packing industry.
The most important factor Of all in
bringing the movement for regulation
Of the meat trusts operations to Its
present status was the novel by Upton
Sinclair. entitled The Jungle" Like
Uncle Toms Cabin" which did 20
much to bring about the downfall Of
slavery in this country, and like Down
With Arms which led to the calling
of The Hague peace conference. The
Jungle" was written with the view Of
bringing about a great reform. Its au-
thor was moved to indignation by the
conditions he witnessed In an investiga-
ton of the Pa~ckingtown district of Chi
cago, and under the guise of fiction he
described a state of affairs In the pack
ing industry said by some to be even
worse than Sinclair painted 1t. Prest-
dent Roosevelt was so moved on read
ing the book that he determined his in
fiuence should be used to rectify the
alleged abuses II they existed as de-
scribed. To ascertain this he had sew
eral investigations made. the most i'm
portant Of which was that conducted
by Charles +. Neill. United States la
Dor commissioner. and James Bronson
Reynolds, the settlement worker. Their
report is said to have ~substantiated In
the main the representations made in
Mr.. Sinclair's book.

Workingmen of America" Its hero
passes through some terrible expert
ences as one Of the throng of workers
in Packingtown. The indictment Of
the evils Of the industry was so strong
that Doubleday, Page & Co., before
they agreed to the publication Of Mr..
Sinclair's manuscript, sent a lawyer to
Chicago to investigate the situation de-
scribed. His report substantiated the
authors picture. and the story wa
then given to the world.
