THE SIMPLE LIFE.

II Thomas Jefferson had known what
fame the years were to bring to him
az an exponent Of the simple life, II Is
probable that he would have left for
guidance Of Euture generations the
expression Of opinion as to the true
value OF simple dinner. AS It is
he has left to his decpels simply a
bone Of contention for every annual
recurrence OF his birthday. In New
York this year they may sit down to
any one OF three feasts spread In hon
or OF the event. Each at different
price and each guaranteed to serve
the only unadulterated brand Of Jeffer-
sonianism. It seems to have been
unanimously agreed however, that

the place Of honor is an Indispensable
adjunct to the real thing. At the Ma
tional Democratic Clubs ten-dollar-a a

SUDDEN DEATH.
Miss L. M. Bassett of Derby Expired on
 Saturday Morning.

Miss Lillian M. Bassett of Derby, died very suddenly Saturday morning at her home on Elizabeth street of a spasrn of the glottis. She had been i'll with a grip cold for about two weeks but no serious change In her condition was anticipated, although it was known that her heart was weak. On Friday evening she had a sinking spell which lasted for some time, but which she rallied from and at g o'clock when the attending physician saw her her condition seemed not to indicate any serious change. Saturday morn ing shortly before 6:30 o'clock she had coughing spell and the spasm which caused her death followed that. Her death was great shock to her imme- diate family and friends.
 Miss Bassett was born in Derby, be- ing daughter of the late Dickerman and Mary Bassett, and a grand daughter of sharon Bassett. She was born in the Bassett homestead at the corner of Minerva and Third streets and has lived all her life in Derby. She was a member of the Second Con- gregational church. She leaves rela- tives in this city.

 A man competent to talk for the Standard Oil company voiced the views of the oil trust to-day when he said to an Evening Mail reporter:
 'It will probably be an indefinite number of years before all the uues- tions opened up by the action of Judge Landis are thrashed out In the courts and settled. The Standard Oil will fight the matter to the end.
 Probably it will be two years, or not until after the next presidential cleo tion before the United States Supreme Court will give its decision on the $29,- 245.000 fine"
 Standard Oil stock, which closed at $500 a share in the Broad street curb market last Saturday, before the news of the stupendous fine of $29,240, 0G0 levied by Judge Landis at Chicago was made public, failed to break materially in price to-day.
 The first sale was at $4s9A, with sub sequent sales at S501, $499, S499%, S499 and $500. At noon the quotation was $499, $500 asked. with the total sales up to that time ninetytwo shares. It was evident that the stock had been supported in the market.

LYME BRIDGE NOW OPEN AN ENGINEERING FEAT After Careful Inspection Steam Traffic is Turned
 to New Bridge.


 A great engineering feat was re- corded in the placing of the final span of the new bridge at Lyme on Sunday afternoon. The huge span, weighing $50 tons, was put in position in forty five minutes. Early in the. morn ing the span of the old bridge opposite the draw of the new bridge was re- moved and there was no obstruction tothe passage through the two bridges. The United States law regarding the construction or removal of bridges across navigable rivers requires that any part of an old bridge which ob- Istructs passage must be removed with in twenty-four hours, and the engin- eers had compiled with the law.
 About 25O men were employed in putting the span in position at flood tide at o'clock in the afternoon. The new bridge, which has been under construction about two years, has piers built wide enough for four tracks but with the exception of the draw, only the spans for the two tracks have been built, and one of these spans the one put in position Sunday after moon, rested on two piers east of the space it was to cover, alongside the completed portion of the bridge. Measurements were adjusted to the fraction of an inch, allowing even for expansion and contraction, and from an engineering point of view, the job of putting that span in position was determined, barring acidents or the unexpected, against which every pre- caution had been taken.
 Two big scows were filled with wa ter to a sufficient depth to bring them under the span and were pumped out with steam pumps until in rising they lifted the span from it's bearings. Two powerful tugs then pulled the scows with their load of steel up the river and free from the piers and the other spans, and then as the tide lreceded the tugs slowly eased the lscows with their great steel load be- tween the two piers that the span was to rest on.
 The roller lift or draw of the new bridge has been in position for some time, and it's operation tested so that l 1t is ready for use It is 1545 feet long and weighs 1,S00 tons. It is operated by an S0-horsepower gaso- line engine, and there is an auxiliary engine which can be used in case of an emergency It can be raised or lowered in two and half minutes, and is the longest roller lift in exist ience The bridge is the last bridge of those ordered built by President Nell en of the road Sundays work was under the direction of Vice President McHenry, head of that department of the road, and the active superinten- dence of the work was conducted by Edward Gagel, chief engineer of the road the work being directed by E, P Bowling, engineer of construction, who had general charge under w. H. Moore, engineer of bridges.
