LINCOLN MEMORIAL BRIDGE Proposed Structure Over Potomac estimated to Cost Two Mil lion Dollars. Over the graves of 4h rheroes -of the North and the South the hands of their descendants have been joined in harmony and reverence and peace, and it la now proposed to ereot a lasting memorial to that reunion at a great people, once di vided, by linking tha north' and the south with a memorial bridge across the Poto mac, joining the Old Dominion with the District of Columbia, on a direct axis between Arlington and tha capital, a structure the beauty . and durability of which shall prove a lasting . tribute to the lives which were sacrificed In the preservation of . the union and to the peace and harmony which have ensued. Tha last congress created a commission composed of President Taft, Epeaker Clark, ex-Bpeaker Cannon, Senators Cullom, Wetmore and Money and Representative McCall, to select both place and design for a suitable memorial to Abraham Lin coln, to be erected in Washington, the limit of cost being placed at $2,000,000. Senators Martin and Cullom, with a large number of others Interested In the beau tlflcatlon of the national capital, as well s in the memory of President Lincoln, have urged the Fine Arts commission' and the Lincoln Memorial commission to select the plan for the erection of the memorial bridge to span the Potomao as the most appropriate monument to the martyred president whose benign and charitable policies laid the foundation for the har mony since achieved. While none of the many designs for such a bridge have been accepted finally, the plan most favored calja for a bridge of stone, elaborate in design, with two towers In the middle. The bridge -win, as has been said, provide a direct route from the national capital to Arlington National cemetery and Fort Myer. Within view of the site proposed for 'the Wash ington terminus ot the bridge has been erected a grandstand tor the Marine band, which, at Mrs. Tafts direction, gives concerts every Wednesday and Pnturday. To mark the approaches to the bridge it Is purposed to erect heavy Doric columns In two quarter circles, flanking each side of the bridge proper and inclosing a half circular plus. A corresponding archi tectural feature Is to balance it at the opposite end of the bridge. The Fine Arts communion appointed by President Roonevelt ' favored the erection, as a memorial to Llnooln. of a portico ot Doric columns arising form an un broken stylobate:on the, axis between the Washington monument and the proposed memorial bridge, the hrldgo to be, of course,, symbolic of the Union of the north and south. The portico proposed eonalsUng of columns 40 feet Jn height, would ooeupy a space 250 feet in length and tt feet in' width, approached by flights of stairs on ths cASt and west. embellished with appropriate groups of soulpture and surrounded by a oentral, crowning group of statuary. At the head Of the canal, at the eastern approach to the memorial. It waa proposed to place a statue of Lincoln, while surrounding the memorial and framing It linden trees would be plantsd four rows deep, to form a peristyle of green, from which would radiate various avonuos entering upon the memorial itself. Bcntlmen" Is growing In favor of the erection yt the memorial bridge. In the event the Lincoln Memorial commission and tha Fin Arts commission decide on the erection of the portion of Dorto col umns In addition ,to the memorial bridge, the Dorlo columns wltb" which It is now proposed to mark the brtrtpe approaches will be eliminated. -New York Tribune.

Wa could heartily wish that some war correspondents with a dryasdust regard for facta would refrain from meddling with tha work of their more Imaginative col leagues. Take tha case of Senora Tala mantes, for Ins tan oe. It Is beyond all question tha one really dramatic Inoldent that has come over the wires from the dis turbed Mexican provinces; the rest is not exactly leather and prunella, but It amounts to little mora than a commonplace chronicle of alarms and excursions, prin cipally excursions. To tell the plain truth tha Mexican war was uncommonly dull until the senora burst upon the scene with her terribly picturesque vengeance tor the killing of her husband and sons. The senora la one of the fifty-seven Joans of Aro belonging to tha revolu tionists. There appears to be a Joan of Aro In Mexico wherever there Is a good live correspondent, but the Senora Tala mantes gets' more publicity than the other Joans because she has the better press, agent. To get down to our story, the senora is a widow. A certain Colonel Chia pas Of the federal army captured her husband and shot him along with their two sons. The senora vowed to be re van Red and took the field herself at the head of a band of insurrectos recruited on the Talamantes plantations. She trailed Colonel Chiapas over many weary miles, and at last, so the story went, ambushed his force and took him prisoner. Tht colonel was wounded and deserted by hla men upon the field of his defeat. But his life was very precious to the Benora Tala mantes. She had a terrible object In pre serving It from the perils of battle. Hor order to her men had been. "Do not kill Colonel Chiapas; his life belongs to met" Bo they only winged the colonel, and as he lay helpless on the bloody sand the senora bent over him and looked Into hla eyes. Ah, such a look I Neither said a word, but the colonel winced perceptibly. He was a brave man, a valiant soldier of Dias, this Colonel Chiapas; but he read his doom In the glittering eyes of the Benora Talamantes, and he winced, as any gentlemen would to round out, a corre spondent's tale. But why . prolong , th agony 7 The last dread act In this drama of a' woman's revenge was performed at sunrise the following morning, when the colonel was shot prisoners are always shoi by, Intelligent correspondents at sunrise beside a newly dug grave. ' Our readers will oheerfully admit that this was a most vivid and interesting story. It is altogether too bad that Colonel Chiapas should reappear in the news thu very next day, as well as could.be ex pected, and marching merrily along with his men to the relief of some beleaguered garrison. It was a bit inconsiderate ot the colonel to come back so soon. Having been killed in the most approved stylo ht should have known enough to have stayed dead until his return would not have at tracted any particular attention Brooklyn Eagle.

I east, as a whole, is tha great manufactur ing center, yet for moor years past there has been a pronounced tendency on the part of manufacturers to get as near as possible to the sources of their raw ma terial, or to seek those localities whore motive power can be obtained at a mini mum of cost. Illinois and lows have always been agricultural states. The farmers, of that part of ths country have become ' exceedingly prosperous, and now It looks as though there' would be a rapid Industrial development throughout that section. Hence it Is by no means neooi sary to regard the market for the power developed on the Mississippi as limited to Industries already existing In the- market territory. It Is a safe assumption that a region with this great reserve of hydro electric power win gradually evolve new industries. It Is understood that the power gener ated will be supplied to existing Central stations in different towns and cities In the territory that can be served In much the same manner as natural . gas is sup plied to local gas companies - In the gas belts. The power will be supplied under contract to the central stations, and the stations will use It Instead of generating current The present equipment of the stations need not be dismantled, but may be held in readiness for emergencies. The project Involves the building of a solid concrete dam across the river, a power house, and a new lock and dry dock for the accommodation of river traffic. FItiKerald Is Chairman. ROf HEBTKK, N.

Be calm, madam I It's about your feetl They are growing blggert Almost as there lines growl Fact. Several shoe men said so, and they ought to know, f any one does. They didn't mince words about telling it, either. Thoir explanation is even more horrible than the fact itself. They say it is because women are doing more walking now than they ever did since they were in bondage and had to work in the fields and carry large loads of garden vegetables to mar ket on their heads and return with the money so that their agricultural husband's could Invest it In corn and rye. This doesn't mean, according to the shoe men, that the feet of New York women only are growing larger. It applies to women everywhere. 80 It would appear that at last womankind la now paying the penalty of getting into business just like a man, instead of staying home to teach the baby to say ' "papa" or dress the table prettily for dinner. She goes Oat and tramps around the city for the greater part of tha day trying to sell something or sits at a desk all day and "-shuffles her feet about, and In either case her feet ro bound to grow larger, not only In length, but in width also, say the shoe men. "Woman's invasion of the commercial world," said one of these qualified experts, "undoubtedly resulted in bar feet growing larger. That Is the generally accepted ex planation of the fact among shoe men. It is entirely logical. It is not so long aga that women went about with mincing steps and walked as If on air. Their feet were small and pretty when In a good shoe. "Things are different now. Listen to some of the women walk along the street. Their heels hit the ground solidly, like those of a man, and if you did not look you could not tell whether the footfall were those of a man or a woi.-an. Having gone Into business on a large scale, women must have business shoes. The dainty things they used to wear wouldn't last a week now. The day of Ihe 1A or 1AA shoe Is gone. Lots of women oould wear them a few years ago. Some can do It yet, but they are comparatively few. - "You may remember there was a time when every woman's she was honestly marked with its slse. That is not so long ago. Then women's feet began to get larger. A woman who used to wear a No. 2 shoo wouldn't take a No. I, no matter how comfortably It might fit. That drove us to marking the shoes with a secret code. We had to do that to sell a Shoe that fitted and not the slse that was wanted." New York Herald. , Committee Will Investigate. WASHINGTON.
