HarrIman.

His name is in the headlines on the
 front page every day; The magazines are busy telling how he
 won his way; They show us pictures of him as babe
 and as a boy; They are laying bare the methods it has
 pleased him to employ; For the moment he Is casting all the
 others in the shade, And the world is busy gasping at the
 progress he has made. The commissions are beginning to in-
 Vestigate his case; They have shown us how his projects
 windand cross and interlace; He is greater than was Caesar at the
 height of his career; He eclipses Alexander, so at least, it
 would appear; As 8 child may play with puppets, so
 with other men he plays, And each day extends his powers in a
 thousand subtle ways. He juggles millions lightly and bosses
 millionaires As if they were but trifles where they
 touch in his affairs; The Vanderbilts and Morgans finger in
 his vestibule And the Goulds in mild submission
 yield where he Is pleased to rule; When he orders Hills and Ripleys
 meekly. hasten to obey; Looming like new Colossus, he is
 dominant to day. Yes, his name is in the headlines and
 the magazines are filled With the stories of his progress; he is
 praisedNand he is grilled; For the moment he is casting all his
 rivals in the shade And the world Is busy gasping at the
 part which he has played; But tomorrow some new wonder will be mighty for an hour, Leaving Hartman to ponder on the
 brevity of power. -S. E. Riser, In Chicago Record Her aid.

THE 4 UIOM0BILE IN TTALr.

The automobile is making its way in all civilized countries and in some countries that are not civilized. In Italy it is making its way in way that is uncommonly interesting. The talk is that the automobile is going to help Italy solve the transportation problem in the southern part of the country, both as regards passenger and freight traffic. A syndicate has been formed by experienced men with the Idea of organizing automobile lines in various parts of the country as occasion pre- sents itself, taking advantage of the government subsidies which have been allowed, and by means of the fiexibility and economy of the motor car occupy ing territories which are too barren for the support of railroad and street-car lines. There are many railroads and street-car lines in the thickly settled upper part OL lNolys put tISlO dl6 lcN in the south, as there is comparatively little traffic. In order to stimulate the introduction of motor omnibus lines in to the country the Italian government issued in June, 1904, an enactment by which the minister of public works is empowered to grant subsidies. The law fixes these subsidies at maximum of $965O per year per kilometer Ca kilo- meter is about f1ve-eighths of a mile) for service including passenger, freight and mail transportation, at a rate of s77.2O for passenger, bag gage, and mall service, and $3S6O for freight service alone. Numerous conn panies are being formed to exploit such lines in different parts of the country.
 Tn Connecticut, with a trolley line to almost every door, such a scheme as the Italian one wouldn't be attractive or useful but there are parts of this country where unsubsidized automo- bile lines might be popular.

rHE rnIRD-rlRM LEAGuE.

There are many leagues and things in these days, and some of them are quite busy. The Third-Term League, with Mir. Edward A. Horner holding the position of President and director of the Literary Bureau, has been or ganized at Chicago and Is busily en- gagged in the work of promoting the nomination and election of President Roosevelt to third term in the Presi- dency of the United States. In outlin- ing the programme of the league, and responding to an inquiry from tbe cor- respondent of The Kansas City Jour- nal, based on the distinct expression of the views of President Roosevelt on the question and on his probable att titude toward the aims of the lea$ue, Mr. Horner said: q do not care whether President Roosevelt likes it or not. To my mind he has nothing to say about 1t. He is the only man in whom the people have absolute and implicit confidence. We know him to be honest"
 This attitude toward President iRoosevelts declaration that he would not consider the question of third term is mildly interesting, but it is probably not important

JEW1sH INTERESTS IN ENGLAND.

There is said to be a movement among inf lential Jews tn Great Bri- tain for the organization of Jewish members of Parliament into special committee to watch over the interests of their coreligionists. It was first suggested by the operations of the Aliens act. Other measures especially affecting the Jews are the Education bill, the Sunday Closing bill, and the Naturalization laws. The desirability of such a committee was urged at the annual meeting of the Board of Depu- ties by the president, MT David L. AL exander, K. C., and by MT. Albert H. Jessel, K. C., in his presidential address before the Union of Jewish Literary Societies. The idea is that co-opera- ton between the Jewish Parliamentary members would be confined to ques- tions of a non-party character in which Jewish interests were specially con- cerned. The number of Jews in the House of Commons is rather unevenly divided between the two main parties. as there are twelve on the Liberal side and only four on the Conservative. The most eminent of them are Mir Herbert Samuel, the secretary for home affairs, and MT Rufus Isaacs, K. C.; while MT. Stuart M Samuel and MT. B. $. Straus have always been active in the ventilation of Anylo-Jewish g,sev- ances.
 The notion of a committee is not at all welcome, it appears,

The kinematograph has demonstrat- ed it's usefulness to the science of med icine in more ways than one Dr. W. c. Chase, of Edinburgh, used 1t to pro- cure films Illustrating the convulsions accompanying an epileptic fit. The thoroughness with which the subject has been pursued may be judged from the statement that the films exhibiting epileptic seizures measure 1850 feet and contain nearly 23,OOO minute pictures of attitudes assumed during the con vulslons. The value of such records lies mainly in using them to instruct medical students, so that they may recognize the character of a fit when encountered in actual practice. It seen1svery probable that the kinemato- graph will be used extensively in the future to make permanent records, not only of such seizures as those describ- ed. but that difficult and unusual sur gical operations will be thus depicted.

DR.. Waldron went to Hopewell In the

the home of William Scandling, and
had taken the three women, all OF
whom were more than IS years of age,
for an automobile ride. They were
on their way to the Freshour crossing
to meet another friend Of the Scand-

say that as the machine approached
the trolley tracks it was seen by the
motorman. According to them, the
motorman made signal and DR.. Wal
dron slowed up. Then, apparently
car reached him, he started on again.
1t is thought that the automobile did
not respond readily to the levers. It
was caught on the tracks and the oc-
cupants thrown with great force. The
bodies were frightfully crushed.

new bridge FALLS:
SCORES DROWNED
TERRIBLE DISASTER OCCURS ON
THE ST. LAWRENCE NEAR
QUEBEC.
Victims May Number so-Half Of
Structure colIapses. Carrying
Workmen Under the Water Where
the Wreckage Holds Them.

Quebec, Que, Aug. 30.-AN section Of
the new bridge across the ST. Law
renee river, five miles below this city,
collapsed late Thursday, carrying
scores of bridge workers and me-
chanics into the water. 1t is estimated
that the loss of life is at least go and
may exceed that number by 90.
The bridge was about mile and q
half in length and half Of it, from the
south shore to midstream, crumpled
up and dropped into the water.
Ninety men were at work on this Sec
ton of the structure and the whistle
had just blown at $50 for the men
to quit work for the day when there
came grinding sound from the bridge
midstream The men turned to see
what had happened and an instant
later the cry went up "the bridge is
falling"
Few Have Time to Escape.
The men made rush shoreward,
but the distance was too great for
them to escape. The fallen section Of
the bridge dragged others after it, the
swapping Orders and cables booming
like a crash of artillery. Terror lent
feetness to the feet of the frightened
workmen as they sped shoreward, but
only few of them reached safety be-
fore the last piece OF iron work on
the south shore was dragged into the
river.
Near the shore the wreckage Of the
bridge did not go below the surface
of the water and eight workmen who
remained above water were rescued
and taken to the hospital at Lewis.
Held Down by the Wreckage.
The steamer Glenmont had just
cleared the bridge when the first sec
ton fell. The water thrown up by the
debris came clear over the bridge OF,
the steamer. The captain at once.
lowered boats. The small boats piled
backward and forward over the sunk
en- wreckage for half an hour, but
there was no sign of life. The twisted
iron and steel had its victims in ter
rible death grip.
A few floating timbers and the:
broken strands of the bridge toward
the north shore were the only signs
that anything unusual had happened.
There was not a ripple on the smooth
surface of the st. Lawrence rs It
swept along toward the gulf.
All the men drowned were EN-.
ployes of the Phoenix Bridge COM
pany. and subcontractors Of Quebec
and Montreal.
At ten o'clock Thursday night 16
bodies had been picked up. OF the
eight men in the Lewis hospital, two
are not expected to live.

has returned to take up his work in the
Senate Committee On Military Affairs
which is Investigating the Brownsville
shooting, related the progress of the
prohibition movement in his state this
week. Under the laws of Tennessee
the legislature is empowered to force
prohibition upon all cities by providing
a new charter for such cities. Practi-
caily every city and Incorporated town
in Tennessee is dry withsthe:excep-
ton of three of the larger cities, these
having decided by popular vote to adj
here to the license pain. Senator
Frazier would not be surprised if the
legislature took the bit in it's teeth
and enforced prohibition throughout
the length and breadth of the State.
