A hinged concrete bridge has been con- structed across the Danube river, connect- ing the village of Inzigkofen with its rail- way staticn on the opposite side of the stream. The bridge is a novelty. It was designed and built under the super- vision of Max Leibbrand, a well-known German engineer. The traffic between the two points to be connected being very small the appropriation had been put at the lowest possible limit, and it was neces- sary to observe the greatest economy in deciding upon the kind of structure and the materials to be used in designing the structure. The condition of the river and river bed was not suitable for the use of intermediate piers, but the presence of solid rock on the right bank of the river and a.hard gravel on the left favored the adoption of an arch. As there were no — quarries in the vicinity, while a factory producing most excellent cement was located within a short distance, it was decided to build the arch of concrete. Comparative estimates showed this to be a cheaper construction than either a Monier arch or one of iron alone, or of cement blocks. An important feature of the design is the placing of open cast iron links or joints at the crown and at the abutments. The arch hinged in this manner fs statically determinate, and may be rationally and economically computed; moreover, any danger through settlement ter the false work has been removed is eliminated, as are also any secondary strains due to changes in temperature or to variations in the vertical loading, to which the arch can freely accommodate itself. ——+o+—___.

Up the Season of Local bios Races, THE ‘GENE ‘FIELD MONUMENT FOND | Meeting of the Basket Ball League Tonight. OFFICIAL BASE BALL SCORES Interest in the record race meet Satur- day at the International Athletic Park is greatly increasing among local racing men. It will virtually be a wheelmen’s field day, and some good racing can be expected. ‘The open events will be competed for with more vim than in previous races, owing to the fact that it is the closing day at the park, and most likely the closing open races of the scason. In the record at- tempts there will be more display than was at first anticipated, as the local men are anxious to secure records, if only to hold them for a short time. The one-mile District championship tan- dem race is also likely to prove a_sur- prise. Paul Von Boeckman and E. A. Pitkin of the Queer Wheelmen and Harry Z. Greer and George E. Smith of the Wash- ington Road Club were looked upon as the closest competitors for the honor. Now it is understood that a change has been ade in the first tandem tea! and that Pitkin will not ride. E. L. W nis said to have taken his place. In this race there will be pacing furnished by George S. Ball and Fred. Schade, the two men who came in second in the race at the na- tional circuit meet, but who are not eli- gible to race for the District champion- ship. Schade has also entered the two open events and will make a lively race. FOR THE FIELD MONUMENT. List of Events for the Bicycle Meet Now Ready. The list of events and the try blanks are now ready for the bicyajgemeet to be heid at Columbia Field Octo! er #1 for the the Eugene Field monument fund. The entries are in charge of Mr. S. W. Stinemetz, who is chairman of the race committee, and entry blanks may be ob- tained on application to him at the Colum- bila Athletic Club. The first thing on the program of the meet will be a bicycle drill, for which sev- eral handsome prizes are offered, and which will be a unique feature of the af- fair. The drill will be for both ladies and en eran and is under the charge of Mr. A. Wilson, who has conducted and wili couaier rehearsals at Columbia Field be- fore the meet comes off. The entries will close Monday, October 26, and the events will most likely enlist the cupidity of nearly all the local racing men for honors and prizes. The list of events should promote some very good racing. It includes a one-mile open, a half-mile handicap, a one-third- mile open, a two-mile handicap, a one-mile run and ride race, a one-mile tandem, and a competition for the fastest unpaced mile, the prize for which ts a handsome cup, given by the Eclipse Cycle Company. The various committees in charge of the races will hold a meeting at the Riggs House tomorrow evening at 7 o'clock to further arrange for the minor detalis of the affair. benefit of Basket Ball ‘Lengue Meeting. The District Basket Ball League will hold its second meeting this evening at 8 o'clock at the Washington Light Infantry armory. The rules will be discussed and aopted. The number of clubs in the league will also be agreed upon, it being under- steod that the Queer Wheelmen will have a@ representation at the meeting. A sch ule committee will also be appointed, and probably a corps of competent umpires se- lected for the season. The most important matter, however, will be the settlement of the question as to whether the league will play all the games in one centrally located hall or in the gymnasiums of the clubs be- Jorging to the organization. Official Scores Almost Ready. President Nick Young ot the Nationai Base Ball League announced last night that he would have the official scores ready for publication within a week. The delay was caused by the delinquency of certain scorers who failed to send in promptly the result of their work. Pillsbury “Had a Bye. The results of the eleventh round of the international chess masters’ tournament, at Buda Pesth ye:terday, are as follows: Charousek beat Winawer in a Ruy Lopez after twenty-nine moves. Tarrasch beat Walbrodt in a Falkber gambit after forty-one moves. Tschigorin beat Albin in a Giuoco piano after forty-one moves. Schlechter beat Janowski in a king’s gam- bit declined after seventy-ore moves. Marocsy and Marco drew a Ruy Lopez after twenty-one moves.

At the regular weckly rehearsal of the Choral Society last evening the proposition to hold a memorial service for the late Dr. H. C. Sherman, one of the former musi- cal directors of the society, took definite form, and the members decided that they would heartily co-operate in such a memor- ial. President Paul stated to the members what plans had been tentatively arranged by the board of managers. The service, he said, would probably be held after the mid- dle of November in the Congregational Church. It was the intention to have the Choral Society render two or three chorus numbers appropriate to ihe occasion, and, in addition, one of the male chorus clubs of which Dr. Sherman was the director would also be invited to participate. Pos- sibiy there would be also a vocal solo and an organ number by associates of the late musician, and some one of Dr. Sherman's close friends would he invited to deliver a eulogy. After the soctety adjourned a s#ectal meeting of the board of managers was held to discuss the arrangements for the memorial, and the committee appointed last week. was continued and given au- thority to have entire charge of the pro- gram and details. It is desired that all former members of the Choral Society who are interested in tho service, and especially those who were members during the years that Dr. Sherman was the society’s musical director, shall join with the organization, for this particular occasion. Two or three of the reguiar rehearsal evenings will be entirely devoted to preparations for the me- morial, and those who desire to co-operate with the society will be welcomei Monday evenings at Sheldon’s Hall, 1004 F street, where the rehearsals are held. ——— 2 Her Seven Soldier Sons. From the London Graphic. When Col. Knox of the Duke of Corn- wall’s Light Infantry, acquainted the queen with the fact inat Mrs. Keveth of Garrow, St. Bernard, Cornwall, was the mother of seven sons, all in the army, her majesty caused the following letter to be written to Col. Knox: “Her majesty considers the fact of seven sons of one family serving in the army, all with exemplary characters, reflects infinite credit on themselves and on the parents who have brought them up. The aueen desires that you congratulate Mrs. Keveth, give her the £10 and framed print of her majesty, which I send here- with, and tell her how glad the queen is to think of this fine example of good and hon- orable service to their sovereign and coun- try from the sons of a single Cornish fami- ly. Her has kept the photograph of Mrs. Keveth which you sent me, and would be glad to have one of the seven brothers In a group, but if this cannot be obtained of each separately.” The photo- graphs have been framed together in an oval frame, that of Mrs. Keveth being in the middle, and sent to the queen. = The Big Parade Arranged for This Evening, —— Divided Into Line of M h and Those in Charge. ag ae Divisions—The The colored wheo}men of the District will hold a parade this evening commencing at 7:30 o'clock, which!

Mr. Arthur Pue Gorman, jr., Senator Gorman’s only son, made his first speech in the campaign before the Laurel Democratic Club here last night. The headquarters of the club, Conway's Hall, were packed to hear him. Young Mr. Gorman is a tall, handsome and athietfe young man of twen- ty-four, with coal biack hair and a face which is almost the counterpart of his father’s. He is an easy, earnest and forci- bie talker, and promises to develop into a great speaker. He is at present practicing law in the office of ex-Attorney General of the State John P. Poe, in Baltimore. He received a portion of’‘his legal education at the Columbian Law School in Washington. The greater portion 8f his speech was de- ‘voted to the silver question. Mr. Gorman was followed by Mr. Charles W. Darr, a member of the Washington bar, who lives here, who made an eloquent ap- peal in behalf of silyer and the men who stand for it—Bryan and Sewall. Mr. Fulton Gordon, a promirent real es- tate dealer of Washington, also delivered an entertaining address. eS Make Your Own Sees From the Atlanta Constitution. An ingenious housekeeper has hit upon a novel way of procuring delicious buttermilk without the labor of churning. The milk is permitted to sour and partially skimmed so as to allow enough cream to render it rich. It can be taken from the ice box, provided you wish it cold, and simply beat it a few moments with an egg beater (one that turns with a handle is preferable), and you have as fine buttermilk as can be made under any process. There are so many invalids who crave it, and yet it is often an impossibility to get it pure and rich. It is usually diluted with water and often there are so many lumps of butter floating through it that It is not very in- viting, but by this mode any one who can get any amount of milk, no matter how small, can manufacture in a few moments a drink fit for the gods. Try it and see how quickly this delightful drink can be had. ———_+ e+ ___ Blind Women Choosing a Dress.

NOTABLE GATHERING OF COLLEGIANS Unique Torchlight Procession To- morrow Night. FORMAL COMMEMORATION PRINCETON, N. J., October 20,—Indica- tons point to the complete success of the Princeton College sesqui-centennial celebra- tion, and certain it is thit the exercises, both on account of the event which they commemorate and their own great merit, will attract special notice and long be re- membered. The religious service in Alexander Hall today will open the three days’ celebration. ‘The sermon will be delivered by President Patten, and Prof. Fisher, dean of the Yale University school; Prof. Warfield of Prince- ton Theological Seminary, the Rev. S. J. McPherson of Chicago and the Rev. W. B. Bodine of Philadelphia will also partici- pate in the service. A choir of alumni, composed of forty or fifty former mem- bers of Princeton glee clubs, will sing an anthem and lead the singing of the con- sregation. Notable Gathering of Collegians. In the afternoon Alexander Hall will hold an assemblage of learned men such as is seldom gathered on one occasion. Ninety-five delegates from as many dif- ferent institutions of learning throughout Europe, Canada and this country will be present, and receive formal welcome to Princeton. Of thes2 ninety-five delegate: forty are college presidents. No college the country of any prominence from Bow- doin to the universities of Texas and Cali- fornia will be unrepresented. The Cana- dian colleges send delegates, while the six noted professors who have lectured at Princeton during the past week, together with several others, will represent the uni- versities of Ingland and the continent. Kobert College of Constantinople sends a3 its delegate Prof. Charles Anderson, while the University of Athens, unable to send a representative, yet unwilling to allow this celebration to go unrecognized, has ap- pointed Dimitrius Botassi, the Greek con- sul general at New York, as its delegate. Congratulntory Letters. One of the features of this reception of delegates will be the acknowledgment of the congratulatory addresses. About fifty of these have @cen received so far from uriversities throughout this country and Europe. Printed and engrossed on vellum with illuminated borders and initial letters, many of these documents are marvels of printing and penmanship. All are in simi- lar strain, and extend greetings and con- gratulations to the new Princeton. Foilow- ing the acknowledgment of these, the ad- dress of welcome will be delivered by the Rev. Howard Duffield of the First Pres- byterian Church of New York city, and responses will be made by President Eliot of Harvard in behalf of the universities ard learned socteties of America, and by Prof. Joseph John Thomson of Cambridg2 University, in behalf of similar European bodies. The presentation of delegates in the Chancellor Green linrary will close the afterroon’s exercices. In the evening a corcert will be given in Alexander Hall by the Damrosch Orchestra. ‘The morning of the second day will be devoted to ihe delivery of the oration by Prof. Woodrow Wilscn, a1.d the ode by the Rev. Henry J. Van Dyke. The foot ball geme in the afterncon will furnish the ath- letic entertainment of the occasion, but the feature of the entire celebration unless all signs fail will be the torchlight procession ard illumination of the campus in the evening. Before the procession many of the classes will hold reunions 2nd banquets. The Torchlight Procession. At 8 p.m. the procession will form back of Nassau Hall, near the old cannon. The parade will start at 8:30, and the route will be through the principal streets of the town, and will end in front of Nassau Hall. Among those who will march are the Mercer Blues, a body of sixty-four Prince- ton students organized especially for this occasion. They will wear the old buff and blue ccntinental uniform, with cocked hats, and will make a very attractive appear- ance. Yale has consented to send a dele- gation of twenty-four men. Several floats will carry along the line of march repre- sentations of the cannon, the tiger and other portions of Princeton history and tradition, while transparencies, large and small, will cause the Procession to fairly bristle with wit and wisdom. Two arches 20 feet high will span Nassau street on the line of march, one at University Place and the other in front of the dean's house. On the Campus. After passing the review, each division will take its assigned position on the cam- pus. The strains of “Old Nassau” will ring forth from the throats of 2,500 of her sons, and 1,500 electric lights covering the front of Nessau Hall will break forth. Later in the evening the students and alumni will gather about the steps of Nas- sau Hall. James W. Alexander of New York will preside, and it is expected that speeches will be made by President Cleve- land, some of the foreign delegates, and well-known alumni of Princeton. Formal Commemoration. Thursday, the anniversary of the sign- ing of the first charter of Princeton, the guests of the college, faculty and alumni will march to Alexander Hall, in.which the fermal commemoration exercises will be held. President Patten will formaily an- nounce the changed name from “The Col- lege of New Jersey” to “Princeton Unt- versity.” The prayer will be offered by the Rev. Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler of Brooklyn. The university title and endowments will be announced and honorary degrees conter- red. Following this there will be an uad- dress by President Cleveland. ‘The benedic- tion will be pronounced by the Rev. Henry ¥. Satterlee, bishop of Washington, D. C. In the evening a banquet will be given to the delegates in the Assembly Hall. —_——__ The Telegraph of the Desert. From the New Orleans Times-Democrat. “Yes,” said Jcseph Donner, suprintend- ent of telegraph for the Southern Pacific railroad, “telegraph poles along the line have a hard time. Particularly is this so out west, where the poles are costly and stations are few and far between. Now, out in the Arizona desert the poles are played the deuce with generally. ‘There is a sort of woodpecker that picks the posts absolutely to pleces, thinking there may be insects inside of the wood. They hear the humming and haven't sense enough to know what causes it. Then near the hills the black bears imagine that each role contains a swarm of bees, and they climb to the top and chew the glass insulators to pieces,but the sandstorms are the things that create the most havoc. When the winds blow strongly the sand is drifted at a rapid ratg and the grains cut away the wood at a fearful rate. It was a common thing to have an oak pole worn to a shav- ing in a day’s time, while I have seen poles just ground to the surface of the earth during a single storm. Things got so bad out there that the company decided to substitute steel poles for the oak and cedar, but that didn’t remedy the evil at all. The sand just wore away the mecal on each s'‘de of the pole until the center was as sharp as a razor, and all the In- dians in the country used to shave them- selves on the edge. We finally managed to fix things. Just painted the poles —_ soft pitch. The pitch caught the sand, an now every pole is about two feet thick ena solid as @ rock.” ‘Where Was Its Uset From Judge.

Their labor has not been Spent in vain. They have made a discovery that Will prove a blesring to mankind. It consists of a cordial that causes immediate relief in cases of indigestion. ‘The in pertance of this discovery will be apparent when we realiz that nearly nine- tenths of our suffering are caused by dyspepsia cr indigestion. Nearly every person you meet has this digestive trot ble in some of its varied forms—sick headache, distress after cating, pain and fullness in the chest after eating, palpitation of the heart, etc. are but symptoms of indigestion. ‘To relieve thcse sufferings has been the study of the Shakers, aad they have succeeded. The reason the Shaker Digestive Cordial has such an immediate and salutary effect is that It causes the food eaten to be digested, for it 1s undigested food that causes the distress. The Cordial causes the food to be digested before there is time for it to ferment and sour on the stomach.

Since Then He Has Lain Awake Nights Thinking of Them. From the Philadelphia Times. ‘The woman’s congress of Philadelphia, held under the auspices of the Temple College, at Broad and Berks streets, be- gan its year’s work yesterday afternvon with the first of the long series of lectures which it will have delivered during the winter. The speaker was the Rev. Dr. Russell H. Conwell, ior of the Grace Baptist Church, and h subject was “Woman and the Wheel.” ‘The pertinency of the title and a hope that Dr. Con-ell would say something about bloomers brought a large number cf women to the hall. There were exactly two in bicycle costume. ‘Tiey looked nervous. Dr. Conwell opened tne meeting with a prayer for its success, cad then gave an outline of the purposes and scope of the society, during which the two women looked ‘relieved. “Friends,” begaa Dr. Coawell, “this bicy- cle question has lept me awake at night. Here at last seems to be the opportunity offered for woman to get that exercise the lack of which hus prevented her trom as yet becoming tae eyual to man. Will she selze that opportunity or will she lose it, as she already as, in my opinion, lest dancing, considered as a nealthful ‘exer- cise? She needs it, as any one can see if he will only iook at the girl students at this college after two months of study. Pale, heavy-eyed, they soon require long vacations and lose valuable time, while their perents imagine that education is not good for them. “Women need more exercise; they can get it on the bicycle. But right here comes in that vexing question of dress. When ladies first used the bicycle they used the same modest dress they :ised for ‘walking. Now, this was found to be un- healthy, and the dress was shortened, the desire being at first to get that dress which should be the most modest and the most convenient. Here a great moral and religious question come up. Woman's vanity, always ready in some mysterious way to combat with her modesty, xrose, and dresses were and are worn the owners of which (I've got to speak with freedom) ought to be arrested by the police and locked up. While looking out of :ay win- dow on Broad street I saw two women on men’s wheels. My heart bled and I could hardly restrain the tears, shocked, as I was, beyond expression.’ The ex- tremes to which you are tending to go seem to us men immodest. “Now, can’t there be a movement among the women to save the bieycle? Other- wise, it will go the way dancing has gone, and a pure-ininded, roble woman will be unable to extract the enjoyment and ercise from it that she ought to. A that reaches to the knee only, and the bicomers which tend to approach a man's cosiume, are sure to destroy the use of the wheel. So also do lout colors and riding with the seat too far back or too low, positions which make the woman look like an umbrella in a cyclone. Again I ask you, ‘Can't you save the wheel? “I would myself suggest a conzvess, with a large prize for the most modest and convenient costume, op2n to women only. Or, if you would wish to open it to men and charge an admission you could pack the Academy. Ard if you let them vote you would, I'm sure, secure a good result, for men want women io keep as modest looking as they have done In the past. Then a noble woman will ride dressed as she knows is right, and the others will be arrested by the police. I look to you to start the movement.” At the close of Dr. Ccnwell’s speech a commiitee of ten was named to confer about the proposed congress. They will report next week. Neither of the two bicyclists present had on bloomers, and since their skirts vent below the knee they marched proudly out and wheeled off. -eee_—— OPIE READ’S DIPLOWACY. He Has a Visitor Who Secks Blood, but Pots Him Of W Corn Juice. From the Chicago Times-Herald. When Opie Read tcok charge of the Lit- tle Rock Gazette many years ego he was bitterly attacked by a rival paper in the neighboring town, Camden, Ark. He bore this abuse in silence for several weeks, but finally printed this paragraph at the head of the “editorial jottings: “When Jim Simmons first settled in Cam- den, years ago, he was Poo:, » truthful and honest. He is still pocr.” The next day a tall, gaunt stranger alighted from the evening train and ac- costed Opie, who chanced to be at the de- pot, “watchin’ of the train get in.” ‘Do you live here?” he queried. ‘I do,” was the answer. “Come and have a drink then; I want to talk to you.” The two men adjourned to a wet goois store near by, and after emptying their tnarked: a few times the visitcr casually re- marked: I've got to shoot a man in this town.” ‘So?" said Read, with an inflection which asked for more. “Yep—got te do it,” continved the man hunter. “Know anything about a paper here called the Gayzette?” “Say, let's have another drink,” hastily interposed Opie. They did, and several ather drinks followed. “Now, where's the Gayzette office?” finally inquired the man from Camden. “I want you to go along and see that I get fair play. All you've got to do is to point out the coyote that edits it, and stand back out of range.” Tcgether they started uptown toward the newspaper office. The visitor never reach- ed it; there were too many saloons along the route. And, strangest of all, Opie sev- eral times lost his bearings and teok his belligerent protege through unnecessary detours and past more grog shops than the Camden editor ever had seen before. An hour later the man who wanted gore was sleeping off an alcoholic trance in a gar- bage box in-an alley. He had lost his gun and the editor of the Gazette had secured a new paper weight. It is unnecessary to acd, perhaps, that Opie was not shot that night. It is no disparagement to him, how- ever, to admit that he was about half shot. Se ae Not Much Consolation.
