PENNY CABLE, PLAN
OF JOHN H. HEATON

LONDON, Nov. John Henri
ker Heaton. the father OF the impe-
rial penny postage idea. addressing a
big audience in the Royal colonial In
stitute last evening advocated the
transmission of cablegrams at one
penny word.
He declared an immediate end
should be put to the present cable
monopoly at any cost, and that the
cable companies should be bought out
at the market price by the civilized
governments Of the world. The first
step to this end would be a confer
ence of the postmasters-general OF
Europe and the establishment Of a
penny-aword rate In this hemisphere,
then there should be a conference
with the postal authorities In America.

NEW YORK, May 26-Twenty-
five years ago yesterday, there occur
red one OF the wonders Of the world.
1t was the opening on May "a, 1888,
with a great demonstration Of tthe
Brooklyn Bridge, in commemoration
OF that event, American flags were
flung to the breeze yesterday from the
top OF the greatest towers for few
years after the opening, wise acres,
looking up from the ferry boats held
many conferences as to how long the
structure would last They never
dreamed that the bridge could posi-
bly, stand the strain put upon it for a
quarter Of a century. In fact, soon
after the opening, there was much dis
cussion over what was termed the
FOLEY" Of permitting heavily laden
wagons on the roadway
While the record Of the number of
persons crossing the bridge is no
longer kept, the number Of trolley
cars alone crossing gives fair idea
of the traffic. Between three and
four thousand cars now cross the
bridge every day and each car seat
sixty persons, therefore, the passen-
gers in the seats, number 100000 a
day or over 7O,0O0,000 a year. In the
first year the cable road operated a
total of 8,528,000 passengers was CON
sidered enormous.
On decoration day, 1888 a woman
stumbling at the foot of flight of
stairs at the New York tower, caused
a panic and crush which resulted in
the death of Y persons. This is the
most appalling Of the accidents in the
long life of the structure. The total
expenditures for maintenance and
operation of the bridge up to the close
Of 1907 was $21, ,343,509 and the total
receipts were $2l ,267,064

MIR. SIMMONS DEAD
HE WAS FOUNDER OF THE CITY or

Aged Bachelor and HOnOred Citizen of Coffee County Passes Away - MasOns Omcfnte at the
 Funeral.

Elba, June -(Special.)--The fu- neral of Hon. John B. simmons took place at Evergreen Cemetery yesterday with Masonic honors. He died Satur- day about 10 ?. m.
 Mir Simmons was the oldest citizen of Elba and probably of this section of Alabama. He was S2 years of age He was the founder of the town of Elba. His admiration for Napolean Bonaparte led to the name. He also organized the Masonic Lodge here.
 He never sought honor of any kind, but through the influence of his friends he was twice elected to the Legisla- ture from Coffee County. His long life was one of unfailing honor.
 During his long life he did a great many deeds of charity, but always tried to keep it away from the public. This together with his fidelity drew about him a host of strong friends.
 The funeral was largely attended by the people of the surrounding country and neighboring towns. Among the relatives from a distance were Mrs. Caldwell and her daughter from west Teyas. Mrs. Caldwell was a niece and adopted daughter of the deceased.
 large number of Masons were present to take part in the beautiful ley acted as Master of Ceremonies.
 Mir Simmons was bachelor and was fam'liarly known by his friends as Uncle John" For a number of years he had been living in the home of pr. W. P. Boyd, Mrs. Boyd was his niece.
 He was considered wealthy. No statement has been made as to what disposition he made of his means in his will-if he made will at all.

 Paris again took all the weekly gold supply available in the London market in spite of volume of gold holdings by the Bank of France at present, which has pass ed all previous records for that institution and which has reached the largest amount of any single accumulation of gold in the world.
