At a certain Cint along the river a t?mporary idge was urgently nece sary for the transport of materials to be used in the ibuilding of an important neighboring structure, but the only available ma­ terial was a quantity of three-inch planking, about ten feet long and a lit­ tle over three feet wide, ana i ome or­ dinary ro ind timber cut from a neigh­ boring forest. Pontoons were made of two single planks, placed about fifteen feet apart, each plank being held on edge at an angle of about fifty degrees from the vertical, both inclin­ ing up stream, and kept at their prop­ er distance by framing made from the pound timber already mentioned. Eoth pontoons were moored to a chain. The peculiarity of the bridge, of course, was that the water pressure upon the inclined surfaces of the planks, due to & swift current, permitted them to carry a considerable load, and the -structure served its purpose admirably, accommodating a pretty lively traffic & for an unexpectedly long period.

Km Who Did the IV***, - Washington Correspondence: ' rJ : The 4th day of March, 189?, marked an era in American history. Upon that date for the Brat time in the life­ time of a generation the Democratic party returned to the control of every branch of the law-making power of the United States Government. Congress met Aug. 7. Two weeks later the Ways and Means Committee of the House was appointed. lis Chairman was William L. Wilson of West Vir­ ginia. With his colleagues of the ma­ jority party, men of more or le3s expe­ rience in the consideration of economic sub.ects, Mr. Wilson began at once the work of framing, a tariff bill. The labor was one which necessarily required great eare and delibera­ tion, but, notwithstanding this, delay and procrastination seemed to possess the committee. The extra session adjourne J with the bill still in an in­ choate state: it was not ready when the regular session was called togeth­ er, and finally the new year came with the measure still unreported to the House. When it was at last submttted in the month of January it met wit a a storm of disapproval. Coal and iron were on the free list, much to the dis­ pleasure of the Itennsvlvania, Vir­ ginia, and Alabama Democrats; the bjunty on sugar was to be abolished by gradual degrees, while raw i-ugar was continued as a free importation, a con­ dition which ga\e the Louisiana men ground for complaint; the California lruit,growers threatened ho tility be­ cause of the low duty on competing pre ducts coming from abroad, ana, lastly, the Eastern Democrats were wp in arms at the radical cats made in the tariff on near.y all manufactured articles. The extent of this feeling o4 opposition was manifest in the first parlia mentary stage Oi the till. Two weeks were occupied in the delivery of set speeches. It was during the week set apart for the consideration of amendment* that the free-trade ele­ ment scored its victories. It was dur­ ing this time, too, that the parly added to the bill an amendment incor­ porating a tax of 2 per cent, upon in­ comes over $-1,000. There was some little spice of un­ certainty as to the fate of the bill when the final day arrived. The occasion bad be en duly announced, and the pub­ lic response was s inothing .unprece­ dented in the history of the Capitol. People began to arrive at 8 o'clock in the morning, three htvurs before the assembling of the Hou e. By lo o clock the lobbies weimpassable, and the galleries wen# suffocating with the compaginated mass of human beings. Contrary to the roles of the House, the floor was invaded bv the excited ana eager throngs an<i presented a unique and kaleidoscopic spectacle in the rich and brilliant cratumes of the ladies. The orators of the day, in the order of their appearance, were Mr. Reed, Speaker Ori>p and Mr. Wilson. The eSorts of these distinguished leaders were thoroughly in keeping with the spirit and the Importance of the occasion. Mr. Reed was largely didactic and piulosoohio. Mr. Crisp was direct, practical and logical It was reserved for Mr. Wiiaon, however, to be the hero of a reception such as has never bee i witnessed upon the floor. The. appeal was not without its effect. When the roll was called--Mr Wilson had referred to it as a roll of honor--only seventeen Democrats voted against the bill, which >was carried by a vote of 204 to 140. i :f BUI Goes to the Senate, Feb. 2, 1894, tibe bill laid before the Senate. In that body it confronted conditions vartly different from which obtained in the lower branch of Congress. The Democratic strength was exactly forty-Jour, or ono more than the required figure. The Repub­ licans numbered thirty-seven, and the Populist party had four adherents, whose political sympathies inclined to the Republican and Democratic sides in e^uat proportion. Uad^r tnese cir­ cumstances it bteaasae absolutely es­ sential for the Democrats to-command every vote in their own party for any measure which they mi^ht frame. It is true that there was still the possi­ bility of overcoiu.ny any defection hy gaining the votes of the two Populists, who sat on the Democratic side of the cha-iiber. It is e lually true that in due time this support aided la making more secure the narrow, perilous, and oscillating bridge across which the measure was finally conducted to safety. Senator Voorhees still remained Chairman of the 1- inance Committee, but lacking the phyricai strength to assume the gigantic task cf preparing and managing a bill, Mr. Voorhees practically abdicated his position and the labor parsed into the hands of a subcommittee consisting Of Messrs. Jones of Arkansas, Vest of Missouri* and Mills of Texas. The latter was a temporary addition t"> the memoatship of the Finance Committee, takin * the place of Mr. McPherson of New Jersey, whose health was also precarious. When the bill passed into the keeping of this subcommittee two methods of procedure were open to them. They could have framed it according to their individual ideas, reported it to the full committee and to the Senate, and then, careless as to its fate and indifferent to its mutilation, have allowed it to bfe amended by the combined strength of the always hostile Republicans and the conservative Democrats. That such a course would hare eventually resulted in the utter defeat of all tariff legisla­ tion it seems iile to doubt. If, on tha other hand, a bill could be so formulated within ©arty lines as to command a united Democratic support it was rea­ sonable to hope that some legislation at least would be effected. The necessity for party unity became all the more apparent as rumors grew apace that the subcommittee, while re­ modeling the bill, had not departed in any marked degree from the House rates. Threats cf bitter antagonism now began to be heard. The subcom­ mittee paused in its work. A caucus followed. Thr<?e days were they in session. Behind the closed doors of the caucu s chamber the iepresentive3 of special interests made their appeals for consideration. The Louisiana Sena­ tors and sugar; the Maryland and West V irginia Senators and coal: the Alabama Senators a-d iron ore; the New Ycr<£, New Jersey and Ohio aena- tors and manufacturing' interests gen- TO^ Thetnooms tax wti to re­ tained in less cb ectionable form, th® } opponents of radkml reductions were to b > placated by satisfactory duties on j articles in the production or manufac­ ture of which their States were inti­ mately concerned. Remaining for an­ other month in the crucible of recon­ struction the bill was finally reported on the 20t,h of March from the com- i mittee to the Senate. It was no longer the Wilson bill. The principle of free raw material had been in large degree e iminated. Coal and iron ore were made dutiable at the rate of forty cents a ton: a tax of a cent a pound was laid upon raw sugar?, with an inciden­ tal protection of an additional one- fourth of a cent a pound on the refined aaticle the rates in the metal, glass, earthenware, woolen, cotton, and agri­ cultural Echedules had been increased, and the duty on collars and ouffs had been raised very nearly to the McKin- lev rate in order ta make certain the vote of Senato - Mu phy, a resident of Troy, N. Y., where the manufacture of tlite e articles affords a livelihood for thousands of people. Salt lumber and wool still remain d on the free list, The general debate began April 2 and closed April 2', after which the bill w&i considered by paragr - phs until July 3, when the final vo:e was taken. During these three months the battle waged with more or less yigor. As a season of oratory it has already passed from the public mind, idalf a dozen speeches, including the opening argu­ ments of Senator Voorhees and Allison for their respective sides, and the ad­ dresses of Senators Hill and Smith against the income tax, will perhaps be recal ed as rising above the dead level of tb|| commonplace. The Re­ publicans conlented themselves largely with guerrilla warfare, their forces being in charge of Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island. On the eve of the an­ niversary of national independence and after five months' consideration and debate, ia the Senate, the bill was passed by a vote of 3D to 34. The in­ come tax had previously be^p i, corpo- rated by an overwhelming majority. The votes in favor of the bill were cast by thirty-seven Democrats and two Populists, Kyle and Allen: the nega­ tives were thirty-one Republicans, two Populists--Pe.er and Stewart-and one Democrat--Mr. Hill. The bill " went to conference, and a deadlock immediately cccurred. lln- tiec the conditions which had resulted in the passage of the measure through tbe Senate, the conferrees of the lat­ ter body were hampered and re­ strained. The House conferrees. on tUe other hand, contended for their original propositions. Two weeks were •occupied in a vain endeavor to agree. Sugar, eoa!, iron ore ani the woolen and cotton schedules were the main factors in dispute. A disagreement was reported, in tbe House. Mr. Wil­ son, whose appearance with his neu­ ralgia-stricken head wrapped in a hand­ kerchief. excited sympathy, delivered an address cjun?eling the Hou -e t3 'further resistance Mr. Wilson, in concluding his speech, produced a letter trpm President Cleveland in which the Senate bill was denounced as a treacherous de­ parture from Democratic principles: in which Senators were accused of party perfidy and dishonor, in which the free importation of coal and iron ore was contended for as the redemption of a party pledge and a duty on sugar ad­ vocated. When this letter was read to an astonished Hou»e it seemed as if the world, the flesh and the devil had combined against a fated bill. The ef­ fect of the President's open declaration of war upon the Seriate was immediate. Tbe Democrats of the Hon. e arrayed themselves under its banner on the side of the President and against tho Senate. The crisis became more acute. In this juncture Mr. Gorman of Mary­ land stepped into the arena and deliv­ ered one of tho most remarkable speeches ever heard in the Senate of the United States. Bill X) Accepted. The deadlock continued. The Presi­ dent contending through Mr. Wilson for vindication and the Senate stubbornly insistent were the millstones Metween which tariff reform seemed destined to be crushed, i repositions were made and rejected, tentative agreements were reached only to be repudiated. The tension grew daily more unbearable. Bitterness of fe ling between tho con­ ferrees led to more than one open rup­ ture. In the House the impatience of the Democrats who were willing to ac­ cept the Senate bill led to a caucus which accomplished nothing beyond a further respite for the administration Defeat for the latter, however, was at hand, for Mondny. Aug. 13. the House, after a preliminary caucus, with no other alternatue, ended the strugg a by receiving the bill from the hands of Mr. Wilson and accepting tne Senate bill.ia its entirety.

The end came at Dayton, Q., in the Barnum & Bailey circus of which he was a shining light. Chiko was the me at famous member of the simian tribe ever exhibited in New York, and he was said to be tho largest chimpanzee in captivity. He succeeded the lamented Mr. Crowley in the curio sity and esteem of New- Yorkers. He arrived in that city April 19, 18'»3, from Lisbon, Portugal. He was captured seven years ago ia the jungle in Portuguese East Alrica, and hi* captor gave him his ova name. Subsequently he was sold tor a rich Bl( Tariff Btand#*"*. 4 tu addition to the long list of irticr3 found in the Gorman bill, the surprising discove y ha> beail made by the Treasury Department officials that no appropriation has been made for putting into effect tb» income tax pro­ visions. The col octors of internal revenue can do nothing under these circumstances in the direction of pre­ paring to collect the tax. The treas­ ury officials clai'n to be blameless, for they forwai»ded to the Appropriations Committee mofe than a month ago an estimate for art initial appropriation of $500,000 to be used during the current fiscal year in carrying out the income tax provisior s of the tariff bill if it should become a law. The omission cannot be rectified at this session of Cong re s® Scattered over twenty-one diiTeient pages of t*ie newatarilf bill there have teen discovered so far a total of thirty- one errors, the greater part of which have no e.lect on the bill. There are thiee serious errors, though, not counting the section that authorises the payment of a rebate on the tax paid on alcohol used in the arts and sciences. None of the error- can be corrected without a joint resolution of the two houses, for the "law " print of the btti must ba an exact copy, word­ ing end spelling, pu, ctuation, and everything else contained in the en­ rolled bill, which is the copy that be­ comes part of the archives of the gov­ ernment. By the omiss'on of a comma the Senate hafe lifted bodily from the free list the products o.' coal tar, not colors or /lyes. Among the pi oducts of coal tar tho more important are dead oil, pitch, and benzole. These shou d have oome in. free, but by tho omission of the comma they are all t ansferred to tho dutiable list. Another error is one over/ which ^there has been some dis­ pute^ but according to tariff experts it operates tar put diamonds in the free list. The/use of the semicolon in­ stead of/7the colon is used by ex­ pert*. to indicate that diamonds themselves> as a class," not set. in addition to those lor use in certain trades, as was intended, are . admitted free. It is raid that some of the larg­ est importers of precious stones ia New York, aware of this error, have ordered large invoices of diamonds be­ fore the error can I e corrected. Para­ graph 24 of the chemical schodule makes sulphate of magnesia, or epsorn salts, dutiable at 15 of a cent a pound. This was an item add d by tne Senate which omitted to strike from the free li^t paragraph 542. which reads: "Mag­ nesia, sulphate of, or epsom salts." The two paragraphs are in opposition. Cuotly Krror« of tho P»»i. In a communication sent to Congress some years ago it was shown that the insertion of a comma instead of a hyphen in a tariff bill cost the govern­ ment almost $500,0011. The tariff act of ,jur.e i>. 1*72, contained in the free list a paragraph reading: "Fruit, plant , tropical and semi-tropical, for the purpose of propagation or cultiva­ tion." instead of thj comma a£|t?r the word "fruit" there shou d have been a hyphen, the article intended to be ad­ mitted free being iruit-plants. The error was corrected by a joint resolu­ tion on May 9, 18.-s, but uptathat time hundreds of tbcusandsof dollars'worth of tro; ictl fruits were brought in ab­ solutely free of duty. A serious error in the McKinley act was corrected in like manner, the mis­ take being the tnisplaoemeBt o a pa­ renthesis. The paragraph as it ap­ peared in the law read: "Cables, cord­ age, and twine t-e.v eprt binding twine composed in whole or in part of istle, or Tampico fiber, si al grass, or sunnl 1A cents per pound." The only w^rd" that should ha;e been inolosea in pa­ rentheses were "except binding twine," which made a very material chango in tho construction of Tthe paragraph.

A Long Island farmar has been greatly annoyed by tramps, who were apparently fearless of dogs or firearms. So he devised another plan to get rid ol these pest j. He got a pot o; black paint and a b: ard, on which he paint­ ed, in ?arge letters, "Two Thousand Tramps Wanted." He nailed this sign between two trees that stand at the entrance to his place, and that very day four tattered wandereri came along. The sign caught their "at en- tion, and they gave every evidence of pleasure. ' Then they berran to con­ sult, and after sSme time the most stal­ wart of the party started for the house. He advanced very cautiously, sus­ piciously scanning etvery inch of the ground and the building ahead. As he nearqd the house the farmer came out and greetel him with great cordiality,; and bafore he could say a word matched hi n to the rear of the house and snowed him an enormous woodpile. Tbe fellow was so overcome with astonishment that he took the saw and started in. For an hour he kept at it; then the farmer called the man in and gave him his dinner, but would permn him to carry nothing away. The tramp departed in the most sullen manner imaginable, and he and his companions held another council of War. Then cach of the four men set to work inscribing cabalist c signs on the turrounding fences and trees, and that was the last tramp en­ tertained by that farmer. --- , Avoiding Pain and Peril. jjefcnslve measures against the foe are ever adopted by a wise commander.
