FEAR FOR OLD BRIDGE.
Heavy Teaming Is Barred From Aged
Brooklyn Structure.

New York. May 15.-That some fears
are felt for the safety of the old Brook
lyn bridge, which still carries a con-
siderable share of the traffic between
Manhattan and Brooklyn, is indicated
by orders issued by the city bridge de-
apartment prohibiting heavy teams from
using the roadways and directing the
elevated railways to curtail their traf-
fic during the rush hours Extensive
repairs are being made to the sstruc-
ture-
A statement given out by the secre-
tary of the public service board says:
THE bridge is rather old, and its
construction is not the most modern.
by any means, but with the repairs
that are continually being made, it is
safe to believe that it will be many
years before it will be necessary to con-
denim it. Preventive measures are
ALWAYS best.
THE strain on the bridge when heav-
lily laden with cars. trains and trucks
is naturally very great, and for this
reason it has been deemed wise to re-
strict traffic thereon.

Miss Vera Curtis, Dramatic Soprano,
With Russian Symphony Orchestra.

The average person enjoys certain
amount of music, but to sit through a
performance of a symphony orchestra
might be tiresome to one who is not
particularly inclined in a musical way.
The tendency today is to offer an
entertainment that will please the pub
lie in general, thus giving the people
the opportunity to become interested
in classical music.
The press notices of the entertain
ments given by the company are favor
able. One Arkansas paper says:
Modest Altschuler who conducts
the orchestra. is thoroughly satisfac-
tory in that role. There is an absolute
absence Of all that is spectacular, and
not gesture is made by the leader
that is not intended to bring specific
response from the orchestra. No wild
arm swinging or self parading de-
tracts from the exquisite orchestral
effects. With the ease and grace of
perfect knowledge of the sym phony he
leads his splendid organization through
the musical maze with an art that
brings out the greatest excellence in
the performer and the highest appre-
citation in the listener. 1t is the acme
of musical direction.

This Improvement.

THINKS LIGHTS WOULD PAY

In connection with the opening OF
Garfield park, which takes place next
Tuesday, May p. this morning consld-
cradle sentiment was expressed in IA
| vor of a lighted white way on North
| Kansas avenue. J. r. Spetter who
owns his cigar factory at S24 North
Kansas avenue, is heartily IN favor OF
| the Improvement. He says that he
| would be willing to sign a petition and
| pay the extra taxes for the installa-
/ ton. He is willing from a matter of
| civic pride and because he thinks the
| extra business the improvement would
| bring would pay in the long run. He
| has also taken up the proposition with
| other property owners. However he
I says that two of them tUld him that
| if they did anything about they would
sign a petition to keep the lights off,
| but would not give him reasons
T. D. Joseph, when seen this morn
! ing, was not very enthusiastic about
| the matter, either. He said that he
! thought it might be a good thing but
didn't feel sure about the idea.
The greatest difficulty seems to be
that the majority of the business
houses on North Kansas avenue, in
GLIDING the several Haywood buildings
are owned by South side people. They
naturally are not as much in favor OF
improvements on their blocks as they
might be.
Mr.. Spetter said this afternoon:
II am certainly in favor of a lighted
white way on North Kansas avenue,
especially since Garfield park is to be
turned into an amusement place.
firmly believe that the good impress
sion which would be created by the
Improvement and the additional bus
mess the Improvement would bring
would pay for the extra exI ense in the
long run.
However,, 1 have not had time to
talk with many of the North Kansas
avenue property owners. Two L did
ask about the proposition were OPP
posed. One of them said he would
sign a petition to keep the lights off
but he didn't give me any reason.

Danger to Surgeons.

Two notable cases of infection re-
ceived by surgeons of Chicago while
performing operations and a number
of similar infections in other parts of
the state and nation are matters OF
more than passing interest. These in.
fections occurred through the hands,
which had been slightly, perhaps in
some cases im~perceptibly, lacerated.
The problem OF disinfection of the
hands by means of alcohol vas re-

envy Of Medicine. Adjudication of

utes. This use Of alcohol may be
made without that of soap or previous
washing.
Pierre Delbet, a noted French sur
geon, is of the opinion that when the
hands are soiled with cultures of
microbes with resistant spores one
can never be sur of sterilization. He
says that his confidence in the posi-.
bility Of asepsis Of the hands has been
so shaken that he no longer dares to
operate without gloves.
