WANTS A SOUVENIR.
Col. Dyer Of New York Asks for Frag-
ment Of Long Bridge.

Col. George r. Dyer, commander OF the
18th Regiment of Infantry Of the New
York National Guard, has written to the
Commissioners Of the District for piece
of the old Long bridge, which is now. be-
ing demolished. Col. Dyer in his COM
munication said his regiment was the first
to cross this historic bridge In 1861, dur
ing the retreat from Bull Run, and he is
anxious to obtain a portion Of the original
structure as a memento of that occasion
He stated that he preferred to have one
of the beams about fifteen feet long.
The Long bridge is being demolished by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and
Commissioner Biddle, to whom this request
was referred, has communicated with Rob-
ert Farnham, assistant engineer of the
work, and the piece of the bridge will be
sent to the regiments armory in New York
city within a few days.
Although the work of tearing down this
famous old bridge has been going on for
several weeks, this is the first request that
has been made to the Commissioners for
a piece Of it as souvenir or memento, and
the Commissioners are Of the opinion that
now that the ball has been started rolling
many similar requests will follow, espe-
cially from military organizations which
had occasion to use the bridge because OF
the various operations around the Potomac
during the civil war.
One official Of the District building said
today, when the request of the 18th Regi-
ment was being talked about, that the
members of that command must have been
pretty good sprinters to have been the
first to cross the Long bridge.

NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE.
Excel Magazines In Character Of
Short Stories.

There are few men, fewer women, who
do not enjoy a thoroughly good short story.
To crafty this almost universal taste ar
engagements have been made by The Star
to secure for its readers a series of original
stories Of character superior to any that
have hitherto appeared in any newspaper,
and that the highest class magazine cannot
hope to surpass. This is an idea that is
sure to prove to readers as pleasing as it is
new.
The stories will be published weekly, and
each will BE complete.
They will be illustrated with pictures OF
a class it has always been deemed imposSi-
BILE for newspapers to attempt to present
first, because of the great expense Of OBJ
tanning original illustrations from artists
Of the highest rank; and, next, because OF
the mechanical difficulties that prevented
the proper presentation of such illustra-
tons in the pages of a newspaper.
Both those obstacles have been over
come, and thus this new newspaper idea
has been made possible.
This series will be made up of contribu-
tons from the pens Of the men and women
who have won foremost place among the
writer's of the short story-a department OF
literary art In which America has always
held enviable prominence. They are. the
writer's whose names hold leading place on
the contents lists of the leading maya
zines Of the country, the writer's who are
breathing fresh life and vigor into the
national literature and whose combined
efforts are raising it to higher and higher
levels, both in conception and In technical
perfection Of execution. They are the
young writer's, the writer's of the day who
portray the life Of the day, and whose lines
of interesting. absorbing fiction are hewn
closer to the truth than are the drier lines
Of those who profess to write only OF
facts.
Leo Crane, with his knowledge gained
by stern experience Of the wild, frozen
gonauts of today and of the tragic Incl
dents into which they are led in their
search for gold and tells a story. Played

to be published in The Sunday Star.
