STEEL ARRIVING
FOR new BRIDGE
Alexauken Creek Structure Being
Pushed Toward Early
Completion.
ROAD Is MUCH USED BY PUBLIC

The steel work for the new bridge
across the Alexauken Creek at the
Lambertville city limits is arriving,
and most of the floor structure is on
the ground.
Contractor w. R. Moore, of Far
Hills, Somerset county, who is doing
the work for the Dover Boiler Works
is raising and Gaping the abutments
and center pier, and has a temporary
bridge, for the wheeling of concrete,
all the way across the creek.
The horses are CHARTERED in large
tent, and a building has been erected
for the laborers.
AS soon as the abutments are COM
pleted, which will be very shortly.
the erection of the flooring will be-
gin, and this will be filled with con-
crete.
The reopening of this bridge to
travel will be an important event,
as since the destruction of the old
wooden bridge by fire on September
8 the public has had to use the road

through the Barber farm and the
temporary bridge that crosses the
creek directly under the railroad
bridge
Many Delaware Township farmers
who have no other way to reach
Lambertville, except by coming
down the Pennsylvania side and pay
ing double bridge toll, or by going
around via Mount Airy section, have
remained away. One of them who
had visited Lambertville every week
or two for years remained away for
ten weeks.
No one realized the volume of
travel across the Alexauken bridge
until it was destroyed.

New Hope Postoffice.

The coming holiday season, the
first one under the new parcel post
law, will witness the heaviest postal
business that the service has ever
experienced. 1t is the desire of
this office to call to the attention
of the patrons, that Christmas par
cells should be mailed early, wrapped
securely, and addressed plainly to
assure prompt delivery.

"MESSMATES" A
POPULAR PLAY
St. Andrews Dramatic Association
Gives Splendid Treat
on Thanksgiving.
RANKED WITH PROFESSIONALS

Messmates, the three act comedy
drama given by the members of St.
Andrews Dramatic Association in
St. Andrews Hall, Lambertville, on
Thanksgiving Day afternoon and
evening was of a high-class and
should properly be ranked with pro-
fessional work when comparisons are
made.
Arthur VanNatta made dignified
'Alvah Morgan, Spectator, with
his mutton-chop whiskers and other
suitable makeup. He carried out
the part very well, especially where
he thought he saw the ghost of Mar
tin Secor, seaman whom he sup
posed he had killed years before.
H. T. Stockton was Richard Car
fer, owner of the Seabright, the
yacht upon which the scenes were
laid. With fiery red hair and rather
loudly manner he played the part as
it should be played, proposing to all
the available ladies and finally TAX
ing an old-time sweetheart.
NAT Taylor, captain of the Sea-
bright" otherwise R. S. Walker,
looked very we'll in his blue uniform
and snowy moustache, and managed
the heart troubles of his daughter
in an able manner.
Teddy Morgan, runaway, -
tStanley Holcombe) had the cutest
little upturned mustache, and won
the heart of the captains daughter
through his sheer audacity.
Wolf the stowaway," was G. w.
Hartman, and he came back to Sc
cure from Alvah Morgan some re-
pentant expression Of feeling for
Martin Secor, supposed to have
been drowned in the Pacific eighteen
years before. He secured it all
right.
Crumbs, the steward" ct. R.
Hunt was very clever in his coon"
part, and very tickle lin his love af-
fairs, but ended up all right. after
butting i'm many times where he
was not wanted.
Miss Ella Thorne played the part
of Grace Morgan, Alvah's daugh-
ter" and the appeal to her father
to permit her to remain true to her
lover would have been a credit to a
professional star,
Polly Taylor, the captains
daughter, in private life Miss Hazel
Thorne, was an irresistible young
thing who got what she wanted, and
that was Teddy Morgan, the run
away. She wheedled her father, the
Captain, around her finger.

Hamilton, Won Steuben and a few 9th
ers, and all of them appeared on the
balcony. Robert r. Livingston, chan

oath and cried Long live George

a mighty tumult Of cheering, bell-ring-

Jefferson Story False.
II you are a good Democrat, no
doubt you believe that Thomas Jeffer-
son rode unattended to the capitol on
horseback, tied his horse to the
fence, and was inaugurated with less
ceremony than would attend the TAX
ing Of office by a keeper of a dog
pound. Such-ts the old story, but it
is pure myth and is first found in
a book of travels in the United
States written by John Davis, an Eng
lishman. Davis asserted that he was
an eyewitness of the simple ceremony
which he described, but 1t has been
proved that he was not in Wash

BY GEORGE CLINTON.

Washington, March 4.-The "Jeffer-
sonian simplicity" which Woodrow
Wilson requested should be observed
in every detail of his Inauguration as
president did not apply to the inaugu-
raj parade, for 1t was as elaborate as
such an affair usually is. The people
wanted 1t 80, and they showed their
appreciation of the spectacle by turn
ing out by the hundred thousand and
cheering wildly as the marchers pass
ed with bands playing loudly and flags
waving bravely.
The newly inaugurated president re-
viewed the procession and smiled his
approval as he returned the salutes of
the commanding officers, for all the
glittering show had been arranged in
his honor. Pennsylvania avenue, from
the capitol to the White House, was
full Of color, music and movement.
People Enjoy the Sight.
The inhibition of the inaugural ball
and of the planned public reception at
the capitol had no effect as a bar to
the attendance at this ceremony of
changing presidents. Masses were here
to see, and other masses were here to
march. There was a greater demon
stration while the procession was pass
ing than there was four years ago.
Victory had come to party which
had known nothing like victory for a
good many years. The joy of posses
sion found expression in steady and
abundantly noisy acclaim.

From the very beginning of the ma

been a day of display and festivity

When George Washington was in

New York was the temporary capital

and loaded with cheering crowds. The
Spanish man of war Galveston broke
out the colors of all nations, and
fired salute of 10 guns, to which the
American frigate North Carolina re-

Finally, on April 80, all was ready
for the Inauguration. Washington
was escorted to Federal hall, then

SHORT SESSION
 IS STILL OPPOSED

Little Rock, Feb. 18-Just to show that efforts to prevent the legislative session closing at the end of 60 days from the date of converting, a resolu- tion was introduced in the senate Monday afternoon by Senators Jacob son and Hughes, asking that the at torney general be called upon for a decision as to whether the 60 days should start from the date the legis- lature convened or from the time the amendment to the constitution, limit ing the session to 60 days was ratified by the general assembly.
