Londoners Opposed BRIDGE.

When the population OF London was
vel over million and its houses lay
for miles on each side OF the river n
was apparently well content with one
London bridge. At length. in 1874,
Westminster was seized with the de
sire to have bridge of its own. APP
plication was made to parliament for
powers. only to encounter the fiercest
opposition from the city. the 10000
watermen, the inhabitants of South
wark. and the west country bargemen.
all of whom implored the commons to
protect them against this new enemy.
The result was that the bridge was not
built till 1850 BIaekfriars. at first
called Pitts bridge. was finished In
1860. at cost Of 100000, betrayed
by tolls. Waterloo was opened on the
second anniversary Of the great battle.
with great pomp by the prince regent
in person. accompanied by his royal
brother. the duke Of York, the duke Of
Wellington and many other distin-
gulshed persons.

In the Balkan war; Epirus again
was bone Of contention, and, with
the defeat of Turkey, a part was re-

Again. in ne world war, it came
into prominence, and il is considered
probable that the Greek claim to
northern Epirlis will be allowed. OF
The same race anC the same tradi-

concession on the part OF other ma

part of Greece.

QUAINT OLD CORNISH TOWN
Picturesque ST. Ives Graphically De.
scribed by Writer in a Chi
cago Newspaper.

Built close by the side of its tiny
bay the little fishing town of Saint
Ives huddles over the water, blend.
ing into the rough gray Cornish land
scape. The tiny cottages jumbled
along the narrow, crooked streets are
built of rough stone hewn from ma
tive rocks. The quaint old streets
themselves are paved with huge ir.
regular slabs of the same stone.
In the tiny, crescent-shaped harbor
the fishing boats rest at anchor dur
ing the day. their tall bare masts,
tipped of canvas, reaching upward
to the sky. Huge white gulls, Saint
Ives own birds, hover and flutter
among the boats and over the water
the murmur of their hundreds of
wings like the voice of the sleepy old
town.
BY the side of their cottage doors or
down by the piers the gruff, brown
fishermen sit and smoke, mending
their nets and telling tales of the old
days when the pirates of Saint Ives
were the terror of the seas; old yarns
that their grandfathers told them, the
grandchildren will tell again. They
themselves are bits Of the scenery and
quaint Cornish atmosphere, gruff and
weather beaten, but kindly and gener-
Gus. At night their tiny boats put out
to sea like flock Of birds. and the
fisherman's working day begins.
The little town smells of the snlt
sea and Of the fish drying in each
spOtless kitchen. Above each do.r
hang wet oilskins and huge sea boots
the fisherman uniform. The ihr,
often heavy with mists and fog, is new
ertheless sweet and clean.
Above the old town built on orderly
.fodern terraces, the new St Ives
perches in arrogant disdain Of its hum
bic sister at its feet. But the little
town itself. supremely unconscious OF
disdain or interest. works on and COS
sips as II has done for centuries.-NIk.
