DICK PADDEN
COMING HERE

The directors of the baseball club
have Just heard from "DiclSn Pad
den and Brock Brown, two gem
tlemen who are well known in the
baseball world. Dick Padden made
his debut in professional bali on
the Richmond team of the Southern
league, and later played on the st.
Louis Brown nine. This season he
is the manager of the st. Paul league
team. At one time Padden worked
for Mr.. Camden Sommers. president
of the Clarksburg team and he is
heartily endorsed BY Mr.. Sommers.
Messrs. Padden and Brown had
intended conducting team at
Marietta this season. and had al
ready contracted with several star
players, but for some reason the
deal was not consummated. They
will be in the city in the next few
days TO confer with the board Of di-
rectors, in regard to getting an in
terest in this team. They would, it
is understood, like 10 transfer their
PLAYERS whom they, llaye under con-
tract, here also.
just what will be the outcome of
their visit it is impossible to state,
but having two such experienced
men as Messrs. Padden and Brown
associated with the team would tend
to strengthen it immensely.

GOOD HABITS
1 ARE REWARDED

J. t. Boggess has returned from a
business trip to Cameron. He tells
the story that as he was sitting at a
hotel there a young man Just reach
ing his majority was pointed out to
his as the recipient of $21 900 from
his father in fulfillment OF a prom
ise made to the young man, when a
boy, that if he would refrain from
using tobacco and intoxicants until
twenty-one years of age, he would
present him $1,000 for each year of
his life up to that age. This ought

amount of money need not necessar-
ily be SO large, however, if it can not
be afforded.

Highest Railway Bridge

notable engineering work is now being
executed in France, and involves the con-
struction of a viaduct crossing the Sioule
valley near Vauriat. This structure, known
as the Fades viaduct. when completed will
be the highest railway bridge in the world,
the level OF the rails being 434 feet 7 inches
above the bed of the stream. There are
two granite masonary tower piers which
are founded on solid rock and rise to a
height OF 800 feet. These piers standing
alone have the appearance of large chin
neys, but their function is to support the
three steel spans, which have the unusual
lengths OF Az feet inches for the center
span and SIS feet for each of the thanking
spans. The latter connect with masonry
approach spans formed by circular arches.
This bridge differs from other structures In
the use OF masonry instead OF steel for the
center towers and the use OF lattice girder-
deck spans instead OF the arch construction
