TWO KK.MAIUCAIUilO MEN .
Tlie Jtocbl IIIRS anil thn Bridges They
Have Hunt.
Pitlsbtirg-Post : "I worked with John
A. Roebllng on the Sixth street bridge * in
Pittsburg and on the Cincinnati bridge
over the Ohio river , " said Louis Yeager.
"Mr. Rocbllug was a wonderful man.
How many persons , do you suppose ,
know how the cables of the Sixth street
bridge are anchored. 1 don't suppose
that one man in ten thousand who
crosses the bridge dally could toll.
It is a wlro cable bridge. The
cabins are composed of about live
hundred strands of wlro. In the anchor
every ono of those wires is sonar ately an
chored. An Iron pin was driven Into the
stout ! foundation and the end of the cable
unwrapped and each individual wire
wrapped around one of the pins. Oyor
all of it lead was poured until the whole
was contented into a solid mass. No
matter what strain is put upon the bridge
the cables can never bo pulled from their
anchorage. Over all there rests a solid
wall of stone that fifty heavily-loaded
trains could not lift.
"Tho Cincinnati bridge was a worse
, iob than the Sixth street bridge , " the
speaker wont on. "Tho cribs wuro terri
ble. A man who had to go into them
day after day would have done well to
make Ins will. It was tny duty to super
intend the laying of the piers , and 1 used
to sit in the wire basket , feeling the
rheumatism reach every joint in my
body and wonder if it was really neces
sary that men should kill themselves for
the benefit of humanity. Mr , Roeblmg
was ono of the most considerate men that
J ever know. Once when I had ono of my
lingers crushed in the laying of a stone
ho told mo to take care of my linger and
Jet the work go to the dogs. When ho
would see tno around the work ho would
come up and ask me how I felt , and toll
mo to go homo that I wasn't losing any
money , but that I might lose a finger ,
and ho didn't want it that way. My sal
ary went on all the same , and the sur
geon's bill was paid by Mr. Roebling ,
and I was given extra compensation for
having been hurt. "
" 1 didn't ' work on the great Brooklyn
bridge , which was built by Roebling's
son , but I would like to have been there.
If I had been working there I would have
objected to young Roebling spending so
much time in the pits. He knew as well
as anyone that it was dangerous to his
life , but ho was actuated by professional
pride , and would not trust the personal
supervision of the work to anyone. Ho
and his father wore the greatest bridge
builders in America. Hoth of them lost
their lives in their devotion to their art.
and it is not probable that there will
again bo found in the United States two
men who will bo so , solely given up to a
. "
purpose. *

Deserted Colorada Towns.
New York Tribune : The evidences of
decrease in wealth and population that
one meets with in thn mountains are
striking. In every direction the eye
rests upon abandoned ranches and de
serted towns. The towns have fared worse
than the country from the hegira , which
followed the collapse of the mining
"boom' ' five or six years ago. Gunnison
was then a prosperous mining camp full
of men and money , wliero oven ordinary
laborers received $1 and $5 for a day's
wonc. Now it would servo as a muni
ment to desertion and decay. "This
will bq a good town yet , mark that ;
there is plenty of mineral in these
hills , and somebody will strike it
after a while , " said a shopkeeper to
mo. It was the old story of hope strug
gling against despair which is so charac
teristic of this mining country. I thought
the dairyman I met gave a moro truthful
picture of it when ho said : "Do you see
those fellows going down to the river ?
Well , they support their families by lish-
ing. That's about all there is to do
around Gunnison' now , and when that
source of supply becomes exhausted , as
tt rapidly is , there won't bo much loft. "
Up near Crested Butte , where they mine
the coal Unit is most like the Pennsyl
vania anthracite , an old wood-chopper
said a hundred teams used to pass along
the road daily. Wo camped near his
cabin ono day and counted three teams
passing by , _

"Yes , ruther ; but it isn't just what 1

"Fifteen cents a yard. "
"A'nt that dreadtul high for lawns ? "
"Not for lawns of that quality. Just
sco how line it is. "
"Yes ; but they're selling lawns ev'ry
mite and grain as good as that in the city
at 8 and U cents. "
"Impossible , Mrs II - ! "
"Indeed , they are I And one of my
neighbors got a good piece for 7 cents. "
"They are not such goods as this. "
"It's pretty nigh the very same thing.
I hadn't calculated on giving more than
10 cents. "
"Why , Mrs. H w , this cost more than
.that at wholesale ! "
"Oh , 1 guess not. Anyhow , 1 can't
give but 10 cents a yard. "
" 1 can't take it. "
" 1 ' . "
won't give any moro.
"Well , just examine that lawn closely ,
now. "
"It looks well enough , but I an't at all
sure that it won't fade. "
"I'll warrant it not to fade. It's a
standard and fast colors. "
"Well , how many yards are there in
the piece V"
" 1'hirteon ; just a good lull pattern. "
"Eleven would bo a great plenty for
mo. "
iNow , I'll toll you what I'll do. I'll
let you have the piece tor fourteen cents
a yard , seeing as it's all I've got left. "
"Can't you say an oven twelve cents to
an old customer like mo ? "
"No , really , I couldn't. "
"Fourteen cents is too much for lawn
that's soiling everywhere for ton cents. "
"Oh , I think you are mistaken. "
"Well , see here I'll ' give you twelve and
ono-half cents a yard for it. "
"No , I couldn't go below thirteen cents ,
and wouldn't ' lot anybody hut you have it
for that. "
"Well , I'll give you 13 cents if you'll
call it twelve yards. "
"Hut there's full thirteen yards in the
piece. "
' Well , callit twelve and I'll take it. "
"Can't ' do it. "
"I reckon you'll throw in threads and
buttons and waist linings ? "
"Couldn't do it for that money. "
"Well , say thread and buttons , then ? "
"I'll throw in a spool of thread. "
"And a card of hooks and eyes ? "
"Well , I don't know yes. I will. "
"Now. why can't you say buttons , too ? "
" 1 really cannot ; I'm ' losing now. "
"And you can't make it twelve and

"No. "
' Vell , 1 guess I won't take it. I an't

nine out of ten real estate men would
