READY FOR ACTIVE WORK, Delegates and Visitors Ar Numbers—Local Committee Work, The Metnodist conference headquarters bogan to buzz yesterday with delegates ana visitors to {he great gathering which is to convens at Boyd's theater next Mou aay to opea the work of the month. Two special trains loaded with delogates and visitors will arrive over the Burlington this morning. Ono of ving n Great 3 the first to drop in yesterday was Dr. Stowe, of the Cincinnati book con- cern. He is busy getting ready to issue the Daily Advocate. He has opened a headquar: ters in the McCague buildiog a few doors north of the committee headguarters. Crans- ton & Stowe will open a book store there during the conference month. "The commissioners ou cutertainment met the local fizance committes at the Mur- ray hotel and discussed the situa tion thoroughly. The question of whether the confereuce should be held in the Boyd's theater or in Exposition hall was_discussed, and fnally it was decided to hold the first session in the theater and then decide whethor or not to make the change. Tho dificulty with the tueater is that it will be almost impossivle for specta tors to sea the delegates when the ariso to_speak, vecause the delogutes will necessarily have to be seated in the body of the house, and tho constraction of the opera house is such that while the spectator can the stace from any part of the house he caunot see very many of the seats in the parquet or dress circle, where the delegates wilt be. The matter will probably be presented to the conference for final uecision, but some of the commissionors seemed to think that it was practically decided . that tfe conference would meet in the theater Monday morning only and after that the sessions would be held in Exposition hall. That scems to be the prevailing opinion. The local huance committee reported the finances all in good shapo and the cowmis- sioners were seemingly well pleased with the report. The entertainment committee is having some difficulty in finding satisfactory accom- modations for all the delegates, on” account of the fact ihat many who bave been as- signed to private houses preferto stop at notels. ‘Phe contract was that half of the delegates were to be en- tertained at hotels ana half At pri- {ate houses, and the committee will hold rigialy %o this agreement. If the comnitiee permits this rule to ba broken down there will be a grand rush for the hotels, and the expense of entertaining the delegates will be enormously increased over the amount guar- auteed. ‘The delogates are disposed to look at the matter logically, however, and the chunces are thar they will all be provided forin a satisfactory mannor, and at about the sum that has been estimated.

Mrs. Lena Hillman, who disappeared from her home at Oak Park one day last winter, was found—an inmate of the lu- natic_asylum at Dunning, says the Ct cago News, She was discovered by her husband, George Hillman, who had been o ted to the asylum through a mistake. The mistake proved a fortunate one, for it brought about a reunion of a hus- | band and wife who had thought each other dead and whose sufferings due altogether 1o the consequences th proceeded from this belief. Their meet- ing under such strange conditions was touching in the extreme. Three of the county commissionurs who witnessed the pathetic scene suid afterwards that they were never so much moved in all their lives, The story of George and Lena Hill- man is strange as fiction. A wife believes her husband to be in danger of losing his life, wraps a shaswl hastily about her head and goes forth to seck him. Her anxiety proves too much for her brain and she is found on the streets a raving maniae and committed to the asylum without identification. The husband retwrning to his home finds his wife gone. He soarches for her everywhero, but without success. Work ted and the house goes to wreck and ruin. PFinally he is picked up on the street by the police and sent to the al on the suspicion that ho court decides that his mind is not affected and orders hin sent to the poor house instead of the asylum. In the court there is another prisoner who is found to be a lunatic and who is ordered sent to the asylun The bailiffs in some way change both men and the insane patient is taken to the poor house while the pauper is car- ried off to the asylum. This pauper was George Hiliman, and it wus the mistake of the bailiffs t led to his meeting the wife, whom he believed to be dend, face to face in a cottage at Dunning. The long-separated couple net in the cottuge, with the officials looking on us interested spoctators. Mrs, Hillman sat motionless on u chair and betrayed no feeling at first. “Where is your husband, Gretchen?” she was ¢ “*He is dead, dead,” she mournfully “Wher one else is your wife, George?" some ked the husband, who is not cwitted s he was before his Ho replied: the doctor d suddenly. *‘Do you know her?” The woman looked up at these words and the man tixed his eyes ecagerly on her face, She had changed terribly but he saw something that brought his wife to his memory. The pair ap- proached one another, the muscles in the woman’s face working as if she wore endeavoring to recall something she had forgotten. The insane look on her face disappeared. “Are you George?” length. “Yes,” her husband answered. Then the insane look came buck and she sobbed out: **No, no, you are not; be is dead, dead.” A few minutes elap: tors, who were deopl the next question. “You are Lena?’said George ten- derl; “Yes, I'm Lena,” the wife answered. “But you're dexd.’ No, I am not; George left then something happened. “Are you really George?? The woman took the trembling hand of her hushand and looked appenlingly into his There was no answ The teas down the man’s cheeks as he realized the awful condition of his wife. *“Are your really George?” she repeated, drawing nearer. The commissioners turned away, unable 0 witness the touching scene enacting before them Slowly the wasted arm stole around the neck of the man, and his face was drawn down to the face of the woman. I know you now,” she said. *I lost vou once. T have found you again, Do not go aw This conversation was carried on in broken English and was kept up until the strangely rcunited pair had con- vinced themselves of each other’s identity. Commissioner Spofford thought there was no doubt that Mrs. Hillman would be all right in a few weeks, and the committee had decided to keep the husband at the poorhouse, so that he could see and converse with his wife constantly uutil she was well enough to be discharged. The Hillmans are Hollanders and came to America five or six years ago, They have no children, and the little cottage in whicn they lived at Little Hol d—a section of Ouk Park—is described as a moael of neatness. Hill* man is about 40 years of age and his wife is u few years younger. Ho was om- ployed on one of the railroadsand his wife used to care for the garden about the cottage while her husband tended a switch. she asked at d and the specta- moved, waited for me and —_——— HIGHEST IN THE COUNTRY. The Southern Pacific Ratlro; the ¥ Kiver, The great high bridgeof the Southern Pacific railroad over the Pecos river, just west of Shumla, Texs has at- wacted the attention of engineers, be cause it is the third highest bridge in the world and is by several feet the- highest in the United States, being 26 feet higher than the great viaduct on the New York. Luke Eris & Western railway, The Pecos bridge is 2,180 feet in length and 328 feet above the surface of the stream. It has 48 spans, nearly all of whichare iron plate gird- ers, alternately 35 feet and 65 feet in length. Inthe center, directly above the bed of the river, is a cantilever span 185 feet in length, The structure is supported by towers, 35x100 at the base and 10x35 feet at the top, which rest on stone ledges or rock piers. The lightness of the structure gives it a very spider-web appearance, but prac- tical engineers and railroad men say it is one of the most substantial bridges in the country. The flooring is twenty-one feet wide, giving room for a single track and two narrow footways. The bridge was testod as the work progressed, and it is capable of carrying the heaviest freight trains, The girders are of wrought iron and the towers of steal. The structure is nearly completed, the work to be done being the driving of about 2,000 rivets. By the building of the bridge and the new cut-off stretch of tracs, the South- ern Pacific shortens its road from New Orleans to San Francisco fifteen miles and a half. The old line through the canons of the Rio Grande, five miles south of here, is to be abandoned. On the old line are fourteen large iron bridges that are to be used elsewhere. The old road was built at great expense and has always been counsidered the most dangerous stretch of track on the whole line of the Southern Pacific, ow- ing to the threatened landslides and ex- posure to cloudbursts, which are of com- mon oceurrence in locality. At the time of the first building of the road practical engineers asserted that the route then surveyed was the least ex- pensive and in fact the only available route across the range of mountains Bridge Over were | through which the turbulent Pecos river fNows until it. reaches the Rio | Grande, into whichdt empties six miles below Shumla. Instend of going over | the mountains thée ald route winds its tortuous arouhd them and over vay numerous ledges, the highest of which | hns an ation of 850 feet ut the ends and descends to forty feet at the point where the Pecos is/crossed. In 1885 the Southétn Pacific company sent out rps of ‘eAgineers to make surv nd establish, il possible. a shorter route. After several months of work they reported that, owing to the topography of the country, any now route that might be selected would cost | as much to construct as the line. The railrond company, however, continued the search, which resulted in revealing the natural watershed which has been chosen n six months ago the work on | the bridge was begun, and it has pro- sed without a hitch. The construc- has been remarkably free from accident, notwithstanding” the dizzy height of the work.

[ FOIBLES OF FASHION. ‘The cly'ie coiffure, the skye terrier tangie and the classic fileted coiffure are the taree most popular styles in hair dressing. Venetian satin is a fashionable material for wedding gowns, as it has a beautiful sheen and does not crush or wrink!le, The fawous Paris milliner, Worth, has conferred & lasting beoefit on the human race in introducing short skirts to street gowns, The continuous line from the throat to the arni is unbroken by raised trimmings on the shoulder of new gowns. Sleeves stand less high, but are more full in the arm¥oles, The princesse gowns open at ono side to show an underskirt of different color, and the bodice and sleeves are slashed with puffings of the same color, or opemed in some odd fashion and laced across with cord.
