pending a hearing in the Federal
Court. This hearing disclosed clearly
the attitude Of the court, which was
against the franchise claims of the
company as to freight service and
probably as to passenger service;
whereupon the company began to
make overtures to the Board looking
toward a compromise before Judgment
was actually rendered. Shortly after
this, the city's commercial and ship
ping interests began an active cam
paign for a settlement in the interest
of the freight service which had been
outlawed for a year or more. This re-
suited in compromise contract
which cut out transfers, but granted
in lieu thereof the sale of tickets on
the city cars. Another public hearing
was held by the board, the whole
council being present, at which it was
unanimously decided to stand by the
contract covering the park route, as
otherwise amended. as above stated.
dence, the board signed up the
amended contract and it was approved
in council by a unanimous vote.
Situation With D. & W.
This was followed by a beginning of
the work of grading for the track
along the Twenty-third street route,
and little later the Dayton & West,

for a franchise, submitting to the
Board copies of the same as desired
by them. This included in addition to
all the provisions of the first fran.

senger service at a straight 5 cent
fare, for the local interurban cars
The Board was willing to permit this
city service by these interurban cars
but contended that local city traffic
must be taken on the same terms as
was given by the city cars, to-wit:
Passengers having the option to pay
cents or a ticket costing 4 10 cents
This stand by the board. which was
insisted on more because of the con
slant friction and annoyance that
must result from having a different
rule apply on this one line of cars
than the difference in the cost of the
fare, was also formally approved
unanimously by the council after being
signed by the Board. This franchise
covered the Twenty-second street
route. The ticket clause was reject

A BRIDGE CURIOSITY.
Odd Structure In Mexico Buflt of
Solid Mahogany.

SOh0 WuhOSuhys
As mahogany Is among the most cost
ly woods in the world, it may well be
inferred that this tropical material Is
not very extensively employed in the
construction Of buildings, etc. A bridge
constructed of solid mahogany is GER
tainly a rarity. a curiosity. There is
one, claimed to be the only one in the
world, built of that material. This
structure is located in the department
of Palenque, state Of Chiapas. republic
of Mexico. This district lies in the ex-
IRENE southwestern part of Mexico.
near the boundary line of Guatemala.
This mahogany bridge is constructed
entirely of that valuable wood except
some iron supports. braces and nails
that are necessary. The bridge spans
the Rio Michol, and its total length. in
Guiding approaches, exceeds $50 feet,
while the width is fifteen feet. 1t is
used by both teams and pedestrians.
and, although somewhat rude and
primitive in construction, 1t Is very
substantial.
None Of the timbers of the flooring
were sawed. for in that region there
are no sawmills. but were hewu and
split.
In that section of old Mexico there
are several very large rubber planta-
tons, and mahogany trees are quite
common. In clearing away the tropical
forests for setting out the young rub
Der trees the mahogany growths are
also cut down and removed. As this
wood is quite abundant, some of it was
used in building the bridge.-American

who positively refused to bulge an

she dolefully followed her companions.
Soon afterward his wife broke in on the
professors now undisturbed studies.
and her first question was, Where are
the children"
He was forced to tell of their de-
pravity. and she ran upstairs.
Presently she returned In great ex-
element and cried out TO her husband:
