COLONEL GORDON.
He's a Senator, Soldier, a Poet, a Hunter, and His Wife Says He's Pretty.

Not since Davy Crockett came to congress in 1927 to represent a dis trice in west Tennessee and astonished all the cave dwellers-for they had them in the national capital then just the same as now-with his buckslcin clothes, his picturesque manners and his homely drolleries, has more uniquely interesting character come to town than the newly appointed sena- tor from Mississippi. Col. James Cor don, of OESolona.
 Colonel Gordon is tall, slender, 76 years old and loose jointed. and is hunter, local politician and confederate cavalry veteran
 ''They tell me-" he says, "that look like Abraham Lincoln-from the rear" is nothing of the severe melancholy in his countenance, for his eyes are twin kling when his lips aren't smiling.
 A group of newspaper men went to new senator, having heard somewhere or other that he was a little bit differ ent from other folk.
 My appointment? said Colonel Gordon. Why, sir, they just forced it on me. I was down at home when got wire from my friend Governor Noel asking me to come to Jackson. took the first train and went to the governors office. He told me what he wanted and made out the papers, and here they lie"

I will stay. If they don't, why will just go back home and be happy like was before Gov. Noel appointed me"
 Then somebody asked the colonel his age.
 "Seventy-six. sir" he replied, 'cbut still a boy. I haven't been sick, sir, in 51 years. Tn 1858 I got malariaI fever at the time of the big overflow from padding around in the waters saving my niggers and stock

 After the newspaper men had heard the colonel tell some of his war stories and no thrillers ever written can come up to his-they scattered, one of them lingering behind to ask for a fu- ture engagement for a talk with the colonel
 "AIl right" said the new senator ''you can come around almost any time What did you say your name was?'

The Bridge at New London.


 It has for some time been known that the necessities of it's growing traffic required the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad to build a new bridge across the Thames river at New London. There have been all sorts of rumors as to what the railroad would do. among them the wild one that it would bridge the river near wider than at the present bridge, and thus .straighten it's tracks at that point Along with this arose the hard ly more probable dream of New Lon don taking the old bridge for highway bridge. and knocking the stuffing out of the valuable ferry franchise.
 Exact statement of what the plans for the new bridge are is lacking, but it is understood that the railroad pur- poses to build a roller lift draw, with foundations for four tracks and two tracks immediately constructed, no feet north of the present bridge. What will happen to the present bridge is question for the future to answer. Probably the railroad would like to make New London believe it could use 1t for Q highway bridge, for that would be less expensive than taking 1t down. Perhaps New London wants it, but it is difficult to discern much advantage to the city in taking on its hands the burden of maintenance of long and not too well preserved bridge which is well out of the center of the city. even if the war department should be willing to permit two draws to remain so close together.
 The passing Of the old bridge has a sentimental interest for many New Haveners. From that point of vantage a generation of supporters of Yale has seen the oarsmen of the Blue seiZs vic tory or trail out defeat. That spot a. little to the north of the bridge-about where, in fact. the new one may be Iocated-is a historic spot of fate. The change which is planned on the Thames will necessitate moving all the stakes of the great race course, from Gales Ferry down.-New Haven Register .ss -es-sf ssra-a-s ..ls

Fighting Bob Says Our
Powder Supply Too Small
RearAdmraI Evans, in Sensational Magazine Article, Pro-

such a role, without the assistance OF
some first-class naval power, they are
sadly mistaken.
NO matter how many or how good

the average reader. and give rude
shock to our dream Of security.
The Atlantic fleet, in an engage

might use 100000 pounds of powder.
This is the expenditure for sixteen
battleships only: no account Is taken
of the other battleships that would be
in commission in time of threatened
trouble, or of the many cruisers and
torpedoboats. II to this amount we
add the powder that will be burned
by the six-inch, five-inch and three
inch guns. We find that the fleet. as at
present constituted, would fire In one
hour 6,243.000 pounds OF powder.
I'VE must certainly have enough
powder on hand to allow the fleet to
fight for three hours, and this would
amount to 1879 900 pounds. II we al
low an equal amount for the fleet in
