About the Interurban.

Capt. Latimer arrived in Palmys
"a yesterday at noon, to look after
the work of building the railroad
bridge over North river which was
started last week. When he was
here last Thursday, the seep water
ran into the excavation for the piers
so rapidly that pump had to be
telegraphed for. which came by ex-
press the next day. Considerable
progress was made with the work
up to Saturday night when the
heavy rain raised the river so that
operations were temporarily sus-
pended. Captain Latimer does not
anticipate much trouble in regard
to the high water, and thinks the
concrete gang can 60 to work again
in short time. The cold weather
will not interfere with the work,
but continued floods would cause
expensive delay. Several workmen
from a distance are boarding near
the bridge, half a dozen more are
expected here today and about as
many more have been employed in
Palmyra.
Mr.. Mum, who has charge of the
surveying. says that work will not
be stopped in his department short
of zero weather and severe storms.
The engineering party now number
six. and they were out yesterday in
in spite of the extreme cold wealth
er. The work has been slow for
the past week but Mr.. Mum says
he expects to change his headquar-
tiers from Palmyra to Philadelphia
today or tomorrow. He, will be in
the latter town for several weeks.

Taft and His Tariff Speeches.

President Taft made 226 speeches

the tariff once and made 225
speeches in which he never men-
toned it. This ought to furnish a

WASTE PAPER ON SIDEWALKS.
Mrs. F. v. Coville Again Complains
to the Commissioners,

Mrs. r. V. Coville of 1885 California
street has written to the District Commits
sioners TO ask that some steps be taken
to keep the parking and sidewalks in the
vicinity of her home free of paper. James
NJ. Wood, superintendent of street clean
ing, has reported to the Commissioners
that they have no authority to compel
the contractor to remove waste paper
from the sidewalks and parking spaces in
that section. which Is machine swept.
The waste paper. he said, Is kept cleaned
up In the hand-swept section Of the city.
Regarding my complaint of some
weeks ago. Mrs. Coville wrote the Com
missioners. Il have still to report that
the flying paper is an unmitigated nui-
sance. When your office courteously re-
ported to me that the policeman on the
street /. for curiosity's sake. went out
and counted the papers, ranging in size
from a cigarette box to a newspaper, ly-
ing between the building lines on this
one block between 18th and 10Th. There
were ninety-one, besides countless smaller
pieces.
THE policeman was here again this
morning and insists that this is clean
street He judges only by the asphalt
and he comes to see me only when there
is a stiff wst wind blowing. which clears
the asphalt here on the top Of the hill.
"A walk around the block this after
noon shows the unual assortment hun
dred feet below us. The terraces on L
street are Mastered with them.
ANY policeman who can pass through
this street eight times every day and still
insist 1t is free from flying papers needs
spectacles pretty badly.

stead Of getting better it getting worse.
The rash ran together and made large blisters.
The little fellow didn't want to do anything but
scratch, and we had to wrap his hands un to
keep him from 1t, as he would tear the flesh
open till the blood would run. The Itching was
intense, causing loss Of appetite and flesh. When
1t seemed to hurt him most the skin on his back
became hard and rough like the bark OF a trct

STATUE OF LoNdFELLow.
Memorial in This City to Be Dedi-
Gated Next Nav.

The next statue to be erected in this
city Is that of the American poet, Henry
w. Longfellow. This statue was made by
William Copper. sculptor Of New York
city, and will be placed In the small tri-
angular park bounded by Connecticut ave-
nue.. 18th and NJ streets. Owing to the
fact that this park is somewhat over
Swallowed by large buildings on the south.
west and north sides. 1t was decided after
thorough consideration of the question to
have the statue face the east at slight
angle with Connecticut avenue.
Funds for this memorial were raised by
an association of which Bishop Mackay-
Smith. Gen. a. w. Greedy and B. III.
Warner are active members and Chief
Justice Fuller and ex-Presidents Cieve-
land and Roosevelt were honorary MEM
bers. The association was organized
about twelve years ago and the fund was
made up of small contributions from the
many admirers Of the life and works OF
the poet. The fund amounted to about
$4,000. Congress appropriated $4,000 for
a pedestal for the statue and authorized
its location in public reservation in
Washington.
Work on the memorial Is nearly COM
pleted. The foundation and pedestal are
practically finished and the statue Is on
the ground. merely awaiting the time for
hosting into place. The pedestal is com.
posed Of large blocks of highly polished
Scotch granite and is undoubtedly one Of
the finest structures of its kind In the
city. The statue is of bronze and repre-.
sents Longfellow in academic robes seated
In an armchair. One hand Is raised to
MS head and the other holds an open
book No date has yet been set for the
public dedication OF the memorial, but it
will probably take place about the middle
