way, living up to the last cent of
my income, but l don't see any
way around it. l can't wrok any

the cost of living, we can hardly
get along at the same cost. 1t has
been necessary to cut out some
things from the table that we used
to have. This summer we have
sidestepped most of the fruits and
fresh vegetables. We have bought
to preserve, but fruits and melons
have been too high.
So that's what good times mean
for a telegraph operator. They
mean scrimping the table-some-
thing we never have been in the
habit of doing-spending almost ev-
cry dollar earned for the items of
food, rent and clothes. working
days and nights to the limit of ones
strength, taking no vacations or d.
versions, and having no money left
over for sickness or a rainy day.
Now you can't make me believe
that it is necessary for rich cor
poration like the telegraph COM
pany to treat its men that way.
When they raised wages 10 per
cent they raised rates to the pub
lie all the way from 20 to 40 per
cent And l understand the COM

Mr.. Greene, when in attendance

czAR's HEIR A HANDSOME CHILD

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. s.
Here is the latest picture IL little
Czarovitch Alexis Nicolaievitch.
heir apparent to the Russian
throne, universally admitted to be
the handsomest royal child in Eu-
Irope, and in the whole world, for
that matter, as he appears in his
first pantaloons at the age of 3
years.
| A husky little fellow is the Gar
tovitch Alexis-the pride. the joy,
1.-THE one living hope of his father,
1.-THE Gear Nicholas.
A glorious day it was for the
ear and the Russian people when
the heir presumptive was born,
July 80, 1904 The country was then
in the throes of war with Japan.
Only two days before that time M.
Flehve, minister of the interior,
had been assassinated by means of
a bomb in ST. Petersburg. Only six
weeks before his birth Gen. Bob
rikoff, governor general of Finland,
had been slain by malcontents.
Everywhere murder and riot were
rampant.
But the coming of the little car
ovitch changed all this for time.
The whole country paused in the
midst of carnage to celebrate the
birth of the heir of the throne, and
even the soldiers fought harder
when this event came to weaken the
power of the crafty Grand Duke
Vladimir, who was waiting an op-
portunity to seize the throne.
For Nicholas himself the occa-
sion was one of almost deliriOus
joy. Four daughters in succession
| had been born to the czarina, but
the countryv demanded a son, and
When this son came the pleasure of
| the car and his subjects knew no
bounds.
| The mother of the little car
ovitch is now 35 years of age. She
was the favorite niece of Queen
| Victoria, and at the time of her
marriage to Nicholas, Nov. 25, 1891,
she was the Princess Alix Victoria
Helene Louis Beatrix. Her mother
was the Princess Alice. sister Of
King Edward VII, and her father
was the grand duke of Hesse.
All of the cars children are
beautiful. The Grand Duchess Olga
was born Nov. Is, 1895 the Grand
Duchess Tatiana June 10. 1897;
the Grand Duchess Marie June 26,
$780, the Grand Duchess Anastasie
June IS, 1901.
1t is safe to say that privately
there is no happier royal family in
the world than that of the car of
Russia.

HAS
NOT FIXED It

Editor, Press-It seems plain
that the Monroe st. bridge is re-
ceiving much less attention now
than before election. Why this is
so, am somewhat In doubt, but It
seems there is a well laid plan to
defer the construction of a new
bridge at Monroe st. indefinitely
It is possible that some of our pub
lie servants feel assured that the
people of the Fourth ward spent all
their enthusiasm before election.
Now such is not the case. We
are no more willing to ride over a
shakey old bridge now than we
were previous to election. The
lives of our citizens are Just as
valuable now as they were before
the campaign commenced.
What we want and what we shall
demand is a new, modern bridge at
Monroe st. Why should we be
asked to be content with anything
less? The people of the Third and
Fourth wards are entitled to It,.
Besides, the same amount of
money spent anywhere else would
not enhance the property values OF
the whole city as it would on Mon
roe st., 1 of the principal arteries.
Still it is plugged and bids fair to
remain plugged until the citizens
get busy.
The Monroe st. bridge was upper
most in the minds of 80 per cent of
those who voted the 100000 bond
issue for bridges. Why should it be
the last to receive consideration
now? Why not follow the express
ed wishes Of the public?
1t has been suggested that the
small bridges be built first, after

There are countless children in
New York who have far greater
need of a piece of bread or a
chunk Of ice to soothe their
parched throats than any dog,
however high bred, has for a
standing collar and a bunch of
diamonds, but Mrs. Burke-Batonyi's
vanity had to be gratified; and
surely it was, for her dog with
the be-diamonded choXer certainly
made a hit with the assembled
inane of Newport.
Such being the case. how could
she possibly have time 20 think of
the poor little ice beggars of New
