Passing Of q Famous Bridge.

At last the old bridge ever the Golden
Horn at Constantinople Is about to be
done away with and replaced by a new
structure. An amusing tale Is told In
connection with the efforts Of an Amer
lean firm to secure the order. With a
view to impressIng the sultan with the
quality OF its work an elaborate paint
ing was prepared for presentation to
his majesty showing the bridge as it
would appear during a storm which
would have done credit to the Atlantic.
However, the firm was Informed that
the sultan would be so Mortified by
this view that it at once prepared a
picture showing the bridge as It would
appear on q beautiful summers day.
Even this, however. Reuter- says, failed
to effect its purpose.

artist possesses should be especially
designed as regards molding and cary

not only part Of the picture, but also
the thing that shows 1t to best advan-
tage. The movement has caused much
interest and comment In American art
circles. Already John Martin Of New

two Of his pictures will be exhibited in
the coming autumn salon framed in
this way.-Argonaut.

a fight today between the seventy

to order Turner not to marry the
Woman. When Gaines met Turner on

obeying the order of the Bishops and
made some statements about the
woman.
'Ifs a ne!" shouted Bishop Tur-

With that Bishop Gaines made for

Bishop Turner now declares that
the woman he married was never

Gaines is backing it. She admits
Powell got a divorce from her, but
she says she never contested it be-

coLoRED PASSENGERS WRoNeEp
AND ROBBED.

No greater curse blights the South's
escutcheon than the systematic swim.
ding of Colored travellers. by the
railroads of that section. The outrage
has the sanction of law and reflects
the prevailing moral sense of the rul-
ing masses in the South. One-half
Of the ticket tariff levied on Colored
passengers is downright robbery un.
der the lying, makeshift of equal but
separate accommodation, which falls
far short Of one-half the facilities and
comforts accorded white passengers
who pay the same fare paid by Color
ed passengers.
The question of questions is, when
will the South through legislation or
moral evolution remove this carbuncle
from its body, or failing to do so when
viii the leaders OF the race exercise
the sense and manhood necessary to
put the monstrosity out Of business.
The first promising move in this d.
rection has been made by the lonely
woman Of Tennessee, who forced a
decision in favor of decent treatment
for her race on all Jim Crow roads.
When the men Of the race show sim
liar pluck to that displayed by Miss
Georgia Edwards. it will not be long
before complete revolution will
take place in the railway accommoda.
ton of Colored travellers in the South.
As the situation is now, Colored
passengers have the right to report
al complaints against railroads to the
Interstate Railroad Commission al
Washington, D. c. Let this be done
on every road where inferior provis
ion is made for Colored passengers
and the situation viii soon be improv.
