The Mcdowell Construction
Company has been awarded the
grading contract for the extern
sive improvements which the
Louisville & Nashville railroad
will make on its roadbed.
The revision begins IN the
HopkiDsville yard and extends
past the southern boundaries of
the city. Under an agreement
with the council, no grade is to
be more than six per cent, and
the present width of Eighteenth,
Campbell and Walnut streets
will be maintained. Modern
steel bridges will be constructed.
Bids for the grading and con-
crete bridge abutments were
opened in Louisville Tuesday.
There were about twenty-five
bidders, but the roal regarded
that of the Mcdowell company
as the most satisfactory. About
100, 1000 yards are embraced in
the contract and the work is to
be completed by December.
The Messrs. Mcdowell will
waste no time IN starting on the
big job, and will in a few days
have large force at work. The
company uses colored labor
largely, finding it superior to
foreigners.
A temporary track will be
constructed at once, to which
the main line of the division
will be transferred while the
work is in progress. The dirt
excavated will be used for fills
near the trestle north of the city.

The wonder Is II the country knows how mucl

There is one White House clerk who has a
most bainstaking Job. Invitations to the semi
public White House receptions of course are en-
graved, but as the name of each person invited
must appear on the engraved ticket of admission
which accompanies the invitation. one line OF
the ticket must be left blank because the engra-
wing of 1000 individual names, one to go on each
card. would be an endless task and a tremendous
expense. 1t is the duty of one OF the clerks to
fill in the names and to do IL so that the writing
shall look as though it were engraved. This he
does in a way that deceives the ordinary eye.

House receptions looks as II 1t were all the work
of the engraver. so fine is the handicraft OF the
man who fills in the vacant line with the tracing
OF his ordinary pen.
About a year and a half ago the clerk who did
this engraving died and It became necessary to
find ONE one to take his place, II was supposed
that this would be a hopeless task, or that at the

To the surprise Of everybody the first cards OF

far as engraving and handwriting were concerned

man who for years had labored at the task and
had arrived at a perfection which it was supposed
no one without months OF practise could reach.

Once married, the death knell of ro-
nance and all else is often sounded
for the Portuguese bride. Married
often when yet a child, she has the
cares of wifehood and motherhood
thrust upon her.
For, unlike her sisters OF France.
marriage does not spell her enamel
patton, her freedom from the cha.
peron. The bride of today has no
more freedom than the maiden of yes.
terday: without husband or chaperon
she may not walk abroad. A jealous
husband will often keep her as closely
guarded as though she had taken the
veil.
The lives, therefore. of the Portu.
guese women are often as barren and
devoid OF interest as those of the
women In the far east. Certainly
among the rising generation there is
q growing unrest, a yearning for cul.
ture, a vague idea that there Is a
world somewhere beyond Portugal,
