REPAIRS COST ABOUT $2,500 Appropriation Has Been Exceeded, But Committee Regarded Expendi? ture as Absolutely Necessary for Safety of Public. Street enr traffic over the Twenty-' fifth street bridge, which bus been cloned several weeks for repairs, was resumed yesterday and the regular sehedulo of the lines Is now In effect. Tomorrow the bridge will ho closed again, but it is probable that the re? pairs will have been completed lato tomorrow evening. About $2,500 has been spent in re? pairing and strengthening the viaduct ami It Is now In belter condition than It has been in years. About $500 In excess of the appropriation for steel and Iron work has been spent, but tlio highways and sowers committee and Superintendent of Streets Harwood deemed this absolutely necessary in order to malt?! the structure safe. Tho steel girders under the flooring wore found to be In worse shape than any one suspected and the men who aro doing the repair work declare It is wonderful thnt something did not give way before the brldgo wits closed. Tho steel and Iron work cost some? thing over $1,400 and tho new flooring and painting cost about $1,000. It Is believed that the bridge Is now strong I or limn It was when first completed.

Tempi,- Chamber? ?<> Which Oliver (idldnmlth A iinmoil lllmuelf. Few buildings link the London of tho present day with so many of the liter? ary characters of tho London of tho past as docs the house at 2 Brick court, Middle Temple. The dominant memory which clings around It Is thut perpetuated by a handsome tablet ou Its front elevation bearing the words: In tlie;io chambers died Oliver Goldsmith On tlio nh o( Apt., 1774. and u medallion of the poet. Goldsmith's, however, was seldom a lonely figure, and ho gathered arouud him at Brick court nil tho wit of tho metropolis of his day. In 1705, on tho strength of the success of "Tho Good Natured Man" and the fact thnt he was making some ?.100 a year, "Goldle" expended ?100 on chambers "up two pair right" and Utted them with showy carpets, gilt mirrors and furniture ex? travagantly upholstered In blue velvet. Thus equipped, ho embarked ou a course of expenditure In which line clothes for himself, grand dinners to n literary coterie and pretty trlUes for venal beauties all bore costly parts. Johnson, Dr. Arne, Percy Reynolds, Francis and Bickcrstnff wore among the frequent visitors at 2 Brick court, but their arrival was not the cause of so much concern to (ioldsmtth's cotcu nnts as that of some other of the poet's guests. It was the little supper parties to Goldsmith's young friends of both sexes that drew from tho studious Blackstone, hard at work on his famous "Commentaries" In the rooms below "Goldle's," bitter protests against tho racket of his "reveling neighbor." Both "The Traveler" and "The Vicar of Wakencld" wero published soon aft , or Goldsmith moved Into Brick court, but the Income they brought him was Insufficient to withstand tho drain made on his resources by his extravagance, his generosity nnd his taste for gam? bling. Owing ?2.000, unable to obtain further advances from his booksellers and seeing no way out of his embar? rassments, Goldsmith broke down In spirits nnd health. He had to lonye those windows from which he used to watch the rooks In the grove, which once stood where now Is Elm court, nnd, ns be wrote, "often amused my? self with observing their plan of policy." Goldsmith returned thither, nevertheless, to die, nnd though he was carried to his last resting place through rows of weeping women the benches of the Temple appear to have valued him so little that the very place of bis burial became forgotten. For that neglect the tablet came ns tardy but welcome reparation.?London Tribune. Mrs. Hetty Green might perform a valuable public service by concentrat? ing her efforts on tho humnn-meanncss trust.
