FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 3, 1893;

. Bridging North River;
- The great success of the bridge
across the East river, connecting New
York and Brooklyn, has suggested to
the business interests of New York the
desirability of a similar structure across
themuch wider Hudson. The North
river bridge plan has materialized into
a proposed act of Congress, which has
already passed the House and is likely
to pass the Senate. ’ -
As to a bridge’that will afford in-
gress to Manhattan Island on the part
of the railway lines that. at present find
a terminus on the New Jersey side of
the Hudson there can be no two
opinions. Ferryboat transportation is
only to be endured when it must be.‘
The ability to enter and leave trains in
the heart of New York would add
greatly to the comfort, convenience
and profit of the patrons of the roads
which now find the Hudson an im-
passable barrier. It is however, very
much easier to get a bridge bill through
Congress, than to build a bridge across
the North river.
Girl Cyclists.
Girl cyclists who are fond of riding
the silent steed, the roadster who re-
quires neither oats, blanket nor curry-
comb, and who fears neither elephant
nor road-roller, may be interested to
know that Dr. Oscar Jennings of Paris
has unlimited confidence in the bicycle
as a therapeutic agent. The doctor
is an enthusiast who claims that not
only is cycling a form of exercise er.-
tirely free from objection, but that is
curative of some disorders to which
flesh is heir. He has brought together
a considerable mass of evidence from
medical authorities and from periodi-
cals devoted to cycling mattars and
undertakes to prove that the exercise
is very useful in correcting ailments
brought on by sedentary occupations
and of value in the treatment of con-
sumption in its early stages. ‘
It is not now correct style to be deli-
cate, feeble and languishing. The
- modern heroine, says an exchange, cov.
«.ts physical soundness and grace, and
sets herself attaining them. She aflirms
that “health is the vital principle of
bliss, and exercise of health,” and
is willing to endure hardness if so shed
may win the blessing. The cycle girl,
with Dr. Jennings’ approbation, may
enjoy the long exhilerating “spin”
more than ever, knowing that she is
warding Off the demon of ill-health,
.with its attendant spirits, melancholy
and fretfulness. . , >
The cycle girl is no longer consider-
ed ahoyden; if she is stared at it
is not because'she is thought of as “a
spectacle,” those long looks being gen-
erally of honest admiration or honest
envy. The neat, inconspicuous dress,
the trim figure, the firm hand, the
glowing cheek, are pleasant things to
note as she flits noiselessly by. The
tennis girl gets a “tennis shoulder,”
and the horsewoman is harmed by, one-
sided development, but the cycle girl,
according to Dr. Jennings, has select-
ed a mode of exercise “entirely free
from objection”—as long as she keeps
her seat.
A writer in the Detroit Free Press
has some enthusiastic words for the
girl athlete, and our cyclists may apply
them to themselves. She uses, how-
ever. the word “tomboy,” a word now
almost obsolete, but once a term of
reproach and derision. She declared
that the tomboy becomes the woman
whose presence is adelight; whose
joyous health and bubbing"'spirits§§ and
unconquerable cheerfulness brighten
her world to the farthest horizon. '1 ‘She
is not only an inspiring companion, but
a living, breathing, glorious incarna-
tion of health,—~a most beneficent ton-
in. To look upon her is to feel the
highest beauty of living, and to be
much in her society is to yield unto
her the approval and admiration that
is so dear to the average woman.
When sensible men meet a grown up
tomboy and take involuntary note of
her royal mein, her elastic tread, her
lithe movements, her relish of free air
and beefstéak, they lay at her feet
their loyal admiration.
This seems to mean that perfect
healthvof body ensures mental vigor
and a cheerful, kindly spirit. With all
these what might not a woman accom-
plish for the temporal and spiritual
welfare of those with whom she comes
in contact.
If such beneficial resultsare to be.
brought about by exercise, and if
bicycling is the most healtful mode of
exercise. let all those who are not too
aged or infirm to attempt it mount the
invigorating wheel and whirl them-
selves away to happy healthfulness of
mind and body.
There is one lady’s wheel club in
Washington 'composed Of over two
hundred refined and genteel girls,
while it is estimated that over one
thousand .women in the Nation’s Capi-
tal own and ride a wheel.
This Giddy Girl Got Spanked.
A number of girls donned boys’
clothes Tuesday night, at Newton,Mass.
and started out to celebrate Hallowe’en.
They fired cabbages at a good old far-
mer’s door and he came out and gave
chase. Catching one Of the bogus bo s
he chastised him in a manner usual y
associated with mother’s slipper. The
girl now threatens to have him arrested
for assault. '

City of ’ Alexandria Burned
Off Cuban -Coast._-
"First Reports Placed the Loss of Life
at Sixty, But. This Proved an Ex-
aggeration—The Fire Followed an
Explosion in the Hold. I I
HAVANA, Nov. 3. —Yesterday a small
boat in whch were the second officer and
eleven other persons from the City of
Alexandria entered the harbor here and re«
ported the loss of the steamer. They say
that an ”explosion occurred Wednesday
afternoon on board the steamer and that
shortly afterward she was-burning fiercely.
The cause of the explosion is unknown.
Orders to Abandon the Vessel. .
The fire gained such headway that Capv
tain Hofman, seeing it was impossible to
save the vessel, gave orders to abandon
the ship. '
The steamer had 400 hogsh'eads of rum
aboard, and this, when it caught fire,
caused immense masses of flame to ascend
from the hatchways, the hatchways having
been blown off. ,
There was great excitement aboard, but
the ofiicers soon succeeded in restoring
order. -
As soon as the fire alarm was sounded
the crew went to their fire stations and the
stewards began to carry provisions to the
boats.
The Sea Was Calm,
There was comparatively little sea. run-
ning, and but little difficulty was experi-
enced in lowering away the boats, when
the bell forward tolled the signal, “Aban-
don the ship. ” The scene of the. burning.
of the steamer was only 25 miles from
Havana, and the officers in command of
the several boats, the captain, first officer,
purser and chief engineer, had little fear
of not reaching that port or some other
place along the coast.
First Reports Exaggerated.
.In the first moment of terror several
men are said to have jumped into the sea.
Those who arrived in the small boat said
that 60 had been drowed, many of them
through the upsetting of a boat Later
reports, however, show that none of the
small boats upset and that many of those
at first reported as lost reached Bacuranac
in safety. .
About Thirty-five Drowned.
The number of persons drowned is now
believed to be 34 or 35. Among them
Were Herr Loibinger, a cabin passenger,
whose home is in Germany, and several
Cubanstevedores. ‘
When the news of the. disaster reached
here a number of tugs were, sent to the
burning steamer to render whatever as-.
sistance they could. Two of these tugs
returned, bringing '19 shrvivors from the
vessel.
