YANkToN TO BRIDGE
STREAM OR DITCH 1T

Yankton. s. D., May 16.--This city
has been compelled at great expense to
maintain for years a number of bridges
over a creek that runs through the
city and has been paying attention OF
late to concrete construction. This
materia: appears to come too high for
the council as two bids submitted
were for $4,000 and both were rejected.
Now an old plan is being. favored, to
dig q ditch west of town and pass the
creek through this directly to the Mis-
souri, river, thus reclaiming Il lot of
valuable property in the city. 1t is
estimated this plan could be carried
out for $40, 900.

The Knife for Lilley.

Gum and Futile! The Times sug- gests these two names as the head of the state ticket to be nominated by the democrats next week. This hint Is made for the very good req son that during the few hours which have passed since the republican ma chine forced it's will upon the party of Connecticut, this general request comes to the Times from a number of different sources: Nominate a strong man: what do you think of George Gunn?" Let us tell right here straw" story. On one oi the morning trains entering Hartford to-day there was party of six republicans. each one from a differ ent town. One. a chairman of a republican town committee, smiled as he said: well, fellows, how art you going to vote on the state tick et?" Each of the other five looked at the others for second or two, and then each took from his pocket a knife, and held 1t up to the admir- ing gaze of the town chairman Hartford Times.

SCHOOL FOR POOR BOYS.
B. II. Hartman Expected to Endow
 One on Large Scale.


 New York, Sept. 11.-If a project contemplated by E. H. Hartman is carried out worthy young men who are destitute of means to secure an education will be enabled to equip themselves for occupations in life through the generosity of the railroad man. It is stated by friends of Mir. Hartman here that previous to his de- parture for the west on his present trip he signified the desire to build a school for the free education of boys. With this object in view he consulted some we'll known educators.
 As yet DO definite plans have been decided upon regarding the kind of school to be built or its location, but there is little doubt that it will be To- cated in Orange county, probably at Arden, where the Hartman estates comprise many thousand acres. A plan to combine trade school, with an academy course, has been suggest ed.
 For the past two years Mfr. Harri- man has manifested great interest in the boys of Orange county, especially in those youths who are not favored with means to secure an education, and the announcement of his intention to build and endow such school does not surprise those near to him. It is said to have been the original inten- ton of Mir. Hartman that the school should accommodate 100 boys, but 1t is now thought probable that 1t may be built on much larger scale.

Telephone lss-s.

EllastOn, the Village Made Famous
 by George Eliot.
 An interesting account is given in the Mitigate Monthly of visit to Ellaston, the little village on the bor- ders of Staffordshire and Derbyshire immortalized by the pen of George Eliot
 The Hayslope of Adam Bede, " Henry Walker writes, iS but lit tie changed since that memorable evening when Dinah Morris preach ed in front of the Donnithorne Arms, much to the consternation of MT Casson and Joshua Ram. The old hostelry, now the Bromley Arms. stands at theS entrance to the village, but the literary pilgrim will look in vain for the village green (now in closed), and the matched cottages which continued in line to the churchyard gate. Adam Bede was married in the parish church at Hay slope, and commenced business as ' carpenter in the village. The house in which he lived Is somewhat mod ernized, and is now the residence of the village doctor. At the western end of the village a matched farm- house is pointed out as the abode of the redoubtable Mrs Poyser. It is now known as the Wootton Hall farm, and although it's present ap, pearance has nothing in common with the description given by George Eliot, local tradition Is strong in supporting its claim to be the orig inal of the Hall farm.
 Wootton hall stands amid the woodlands further westward, its tow CTS being visible from the Hall farm. It was the Donnithorne Chase of the novel, and was for some years the residence of Jean Jacques Rousseau, whose Confessions" were begun there:
 Lo, where these oaks encircling meet, There genius formed his rural seat.
 Notwithstanding the bad weather which greeted Rousseau at the out set of his residence at Wootton hall, he wrote: "In spite of all, l would rather live in hole of one of the rabbits of this warren than in the finest rooms in London"
 As the pilgrim walks about the lanes at Hayslope he will realize that George Eliot's Adam Bede." while purporting to be a romance, is in reality the life story of the former residents of that charming village and neighborhood. Thias and Lis beth Bede lived at Boston, on the Derbyshire side of the Dove. They were the grandparents of George Eliots (Mary Ann Evans). Adam Bede (Robert Evans) was the ia ther of George Eliot, Seth Bede Samuel Evans) was her brother, and Mrs Poyser was her mother. Bartle Massey was the real name of a schoolmaster well known in the locality. Dinah Morris was Eliza beth Tomlinson, the aunt of the tal- ented author, and noted Metho- dist preacher in the eighteenth and centuries. Hetty Sorrel had her counterpart in Mary Voce, a girl of 19 years, who was tried foi child murder at Nottingham in 1902, Dinah Morris did actually visit her in jail, spending two nights with the unhappy girl, and accompanied her in an open cart to the place of exc cution. Seth Bede heard Dinah Morris preach at Ashbourne for the first time, and fell in love with her, being ultimately married at St Mary's church, Nottingham.-Pall Mall Gazette.
