Odell Growing Wise.
fy The Republican ring in New York an
nounce that there will be neither police
,nor excises legislation this winter at Al
bany. The gang will not try to grab con
trol of the New York force by the device
of a state system. They will not try to
rcb the city any more in the interest of
the rural sections.
. Sillj flu it> -•! -X
Simultaneously, the announcement is
made that Benjahiin Odell is to run for
a third tetm as Governor.
Can it be that Republicans are learning
something about the temper of the people
of New York? £
The Gorman Insult.
While the Telmans of the Southern
states are protesting against Cleveland
and extolling Arthur Pugh Gorman as a
Presidential candidate, the exact amount
of influence which the discredited lobster
of Maryland exercises is being shown by
\ his colleagues iu the United States Sen
Ve. ‘ •
When we recall' Gorman’s betrayal of
his\ party on the tarifl reform issue, we
wonder how any Democrat can dream of
his nomination. Gorman is above all
men living the father of the trusts. They
are living, on his ruin of the Wilson bill.
He would) be their pliant tool in the
White Hoi^se just as he was in the Sen
ate.

The theory that anyone is trying to
down the Pennsylvania will appeal to
those who know the strength of the road
and its controlling element as irresistibly
funny.
AMUSEMENTS.
Mlia Robson in “Merely Mary Ann’’
Mis? Eleanor Robson ha» scored a mark
fed triumph in “Merely Mary Ann” the
dramatic version of Zangwill’s idyllic
novelette. In speaking of the perfor
mance the “Chicago Daily Tribune’” says:
A paly as sweet arid clean and as
Itruly human as the Chicago stage has of
fered in many a day.
Every person whose heart is in the
right spot is in fairly healthy1 condi
tion will find tne organ quickening its
beat a little, the eyes growing a bit
moist and1® suspicious lump interfering
With his throat comfort at frequent in
tervals throughout his watching of
“Merely Mary Ann.”
Miss Robson has in alary Ann a role
that fits her abilities to an absolute nice
ty. That .she is capable of more am
bittious things she proved here last spring
but nothing cotild be more a'dmirable than
her portrayal of the little slavey she now
offers. The sweet, pure innocence of the
character she expresses with a skill that
makes it seem natural itself, and its ap
peal to the spectator is as direct as such
innocence is when actually met with.
Voice manner, movement, all are suited
to the part with a neatness and deftness
jjiat call- xor the sincerest admiration
and praise.
Third A venue Theatre
One of the chief events of the season

Baking Powder
ABSOLUTELY PURE
There is a quality added to the
cake and biscuit by the Royal Baking
Powder which promotes digestion.
This peculiarity of “ Royal” has been
noted by physicians, and they accord^
ingly endorse and recommend it.
Royal Baking Powder is used in
baking by the best people everywhere*
*OYAL BAKING POWDER CO.. NEW VORK
fills all requirements expected in a melo
drama.
It shows various phases of Greater
New York life, especially in the Tender
loin on which “the mirror of nature” is
held before the audiemee.
The memorable Fayne Moore badger
game is vividly reproduced; the Tombs
prison; a section of the new rapid transit
tunnel is shown; a deadly encounter be
tween two men clinging to a window sill
and a dark ravine are a few of the prin
cipal scenes and features.
Various specialties are introduced. The
crowded houses that witness the play are
abundant evidence that it pleases the pub

Wallaok’* Theatre.
Beginning with Thanksgiving week
George Ade’s quaint comedy, “The Coun
ty Chairman.” will be seen at Wallaek's
Theatre, New York, where it is to run
until Henry W. Savage is ready to sub
mit his “Yankee Consul” to the attention
of Broadway. “The County Chairman”
is Mr. Ade’s first experiment in the writ
ing of plays without music, and its re
ception in Chicago, where it enjoyed a
stay of three months at the Studebaker
Theatre, was such as to encourage the
author to further work in this direction.
The comedy tells a stirring love story,
the background of which is a political
campaign in a rural county of the middle
west, and most of the fun—of which
there is an unceasing supply:—comes
from this source. The Company em
braces such widely known players as
Maclyn Arbuckle, Willis P. Sweatnam,
Edward Chapman, Fred Bock, Earle
Browne, Miriam Nesbitt, Grace Fisher,
Anna Buckley and Rose Beaudet.
Savages Opera Company in Chicago
Henry W. Savage’s English Grand
Opera Company began on Monday ev
ening a four weeks engagement at the
Studebaker Theatre, Chioago, having
made th journey from Boston direct by
two special through trains of Pullman
“Sleepers” and baggage and scenery cars
The transportation of this great organiza
tion, with its immense quantity of lug
gage and the complete scenic equipment
of a dozen elaborately staged operas, is
quite the most important task the rail
roads have to shoulder in their relations
with the amusement world. The com
pany has been so very successful that
Mr. Savage finds himself justified in
making additions to it from year to year,
and it is very considerably larger th,is
season than last.

HURT IN COLLISION.
Arthur C-liapman, fifty years, old, of
No. 92 Seaview avenue, and George
Sehro«4er, thirty years, while driving in
a wagbn at Boulevafd ’and Montgomery
street 'late yesterday afternoon, collided
with a west bou|d trolley car. Both
were thrown ont and Chapman was ser
iously injured about the head and body
and taken to the City Hospital. Sehroed
er escaped with a few bruises. The horse
ran away with the damaged vehicle, but
was stopped at Moctpn Place and the
Boulevard. t :'.r- iW,
S LONELY LIFE,
Tender of a Drawbridge
Passes Many Hours in
Meditation.
THEY GET USED TO IT
Their Days AVd Busy Eaoush
But the Nights Are Long
and Uneventiu.
Above the heads of pedestrians and
just over the topsof passing vehicles and
are fhe engine rooms of the county
bridges that span the Passaic river. In
each of them an engineer is always on
duty, and these men pass many a long
and lonely hour in the course of their j
j duty.
In the day time, when they have their
machinery to look after, and when, with- I
in the range of their vision there is al- j
ways something going on, the time passes
very quickly, but at night the hours
often seems endless. It frequently hap
pens that they are not called upon to open
the bridges once in an entire night; there
is little or nothing to be done with the
machinery, and about the only sound tuey
hear is the rumbling of occasional wag
ons as they roll along beneath.
“And yet” said Arthur Baker,'"the Su
perintendent of the Jackson street bridge
when a “Sunday News” reported climbed
up an iron ladder to interview him, “the
time goes by somehow, and we manage to
keep awake. Don’t we sleep t Well, we
are not supposed to, and as a mattter
of fact, we don’t. Of, course, we may ;
i ‘drop off’ for a minute u. two while w4 ;
, are Sitting alone, but these cat naps don’t !
I do a man much good, and we try to stave \
| ’em off. It isn’t hard to do that. , Its
i like everything else. All you have to do
is t o get used to it.”
“Sometimes at night the gatemen—
there are always two on duty-come up
here, and then we play pinochle, or check
ers, and manage to keep awake in that
way. If the gat men don’t come up,, we
play solitaire, or read, or study the stars
or just ,sit here and wonder what we
would do if we had a million dollars. It
isn’t particularly lonesome except in the
early morning—from midnight until
about 4 or 5 o’clock. By midnight the
I last of the home coming boats is usually
in, and none go out as a rule, until after
4 o’clock. After that time, and before
midnight, there is generally something do
ing and we can keep awake without mak
ing pincushions - of ourselves. The rest
of the time—the early morning hours—
might be hard for a fellow who wasn’t
used to it, but we don’t mind it, and. be
sides the gatemen often come up here and
keep us company.
“On a bridge force there are a superin
tendent, two engineers and four gatemen.
two of the gatemen do night duty and
two work during the day. Their duty is
to open and close the safety gates when
the draw is to be swung around. The
engineers work in eighteen hour shifts—
each is on eighteen and off thirty-two.
That gives them a Sunday off in every !
two weeks. The superintendents have !
the^r turn at the engines and work twelve
hours. In this way the job is divided on j
eacli bridge between three men,.,; One, re
lieves the other. The one on duty never
leaves until h& relief comes, and theb he
doesn’t hang around long. He gets down
and out in a hurry, and so, you see, there
, is in each engine room only one man on
duty at a time.
“During the day there is always more
or lees to be done in the way of keeping
, the apparatus in shape and oiling the
[ wheels below the bridge, end often the
(lay is coue before you know it. At night
though things get pretty quiet, but, as I
said before; it’s all right when you get
used to it.” ^
“How long does it take you to open the
draw?” asked the .reporter.
“About a half a minute,” was the
prompt reply. “It takes about that long
to open it, and it is closed about the sarpe
time. This draw is operated, a# you see,
by electricity. The power is supplied by
the electric light company. It give us
500 volts, and that is enough .to do the
necessary work. It can b? done with less,
but in order to have quite enough the
contract was made for 500 volts, and
that’s what we are supposed to get.
“The draw is open from ten to forty
or fifty times a day when the shipping is
brisk and during the excursion season.
The average is about f;000 times a month
As a rule the summer months are the
busiest, afld February is about the slow
est time. That is due to the fact that
there is geuorall.v a lot of ice in the river.
As far as is practicable the boats make
their trips with the tide, and we are bus
iest when the water is high. By travel
ling with the tide the beats don’t require
so much power, and so in this way they
saTe coal, which means good hard cash.
Sometimes they can’t wait for the tide,
and then they get along without it. Tak
ing all in all the river is a pretty busy
one.”
When an hour later the reporter shin
ned up the ladder to the engine room
on the Bridge street bridge, a gale was
blowing. In the centre of the room stand
ing like the monarch of sill he surveyea
was Fncineer Cojilin. Sixty feet below
him was the inky Passaic, sluggishly
moving along on the ebb tide. Above the
water, and thirty-five or forty feet below
the enginroom was the roadway of the
bridge, and moving on it, in opposite di
rections was ttwo seemingly endless lines
f trolley cars and wagons, and more
pedestrians than any one with something
else to do eonld count Unlike the en
gineroom on the Jackson street bridge,
£his one shook perceptibly. The wind
howled and moaned around it, and bang
ed the doors and windows with wild fruy
The gusts rattled against the roof, and as
if in pursuit of some one or something,
swept around the corners.
“Oh, it isn’t bad today,” said the en
gineer with a smile. “It’s often worse
than this. It seems sometimes as if the
wind was going to pick up the whole
business and dump it fifty miles away,
but it hasn’t done so yet. Mind it? Oh,
no. In fact, I rather like it. It’s com
pany. and it never does any harm.
“Yes, this draw' is worked by steam
power. The only county bridge with
electric power is the one at Jackson,
street. That’s a fine bridge. Lonely
here? Well, it gets pretty quiet here
sometimes, but in one way or another
the man on duty manages to keep busy,
and when you get used to it you don’t
mind it. What’s that? Baker says the
• same thing! Well, he ought to know.
How long does it take to open the draw?
Well, it ought not to take longer than a
half a minute, but she isn’t in good
shape and so it takes about a minute
and a half. We can dot it comfortably
in that time wit:, about sixty pounds of
steam. There's the boiier on your right
and heres the machinery that does the
trick.
“How many wagon® and cars cross the
bridge in a day? Well,, now" how many
do you think? If I said 5,000 vehicles a
uay—that is, in twenty-four hours—what
w'ould you think? Oh/ you needn’t be
afraid to express your'opinion. Seems
like a lot eh? Well, it is a lot, but just
the same between 4,500 and 5,000 ve
hicles, and heaven only knows how many
pedestrians cross the bridge every day.
There’s a rush that begins early in the
morning and lasts until late at night; and
all through the night there is more or
less traffic here. Day after day you see
the same wagons and the same faces.
“One of the peculiar things about this
job is that you are always pretty sure
to be cussed. If a boat wants to go
through it bolws three blasts on its
whistle; if we are ready to open the draw
w'e give one bla-:t for an answer, and then
the gates are closed as soon as all the ve
hicles are off the draw. That means
that drivers and pedestrians must wait,
and then we come in for abuse. If we
make the boats wait, then the unlady
like language comes from them. Very
little of it reaches oht ears, however, and
even if it did we should stand it some
how. We do the beet we can for every
one, and that’s all any one can do.
“Some of the boatmen are -queer cus
tomers. They will wait almost any length
of time for one of the railroad Bridges to
open for them, but if we keep ’em wait
ing a minute there’s all kinds of trouble.
They yank their whistles like madmen,
and yell qnd shout and raisethe dickens
generally abut bless -our heart, we don’t
mind that." We never tteep ’em waiting a
second if we- can help it, and when' we
can’t help it it’s no^ opp fault.” t
All the timetne enr,.neer was talking
the wind kept rattling at the door- and
windows, and the whole ' pldfce 'seemed
to be in oenstant vibration from the traf
fic below. The engineer graed reuectively
at the long line of vehicles for a minute
or twm. and then with a sigh turned
again 4o the reporter.
“She ain’t much to look at," he said

“but"I think a lot ot her, just the same.
She’s just like a baby. If you don’t han
dle her just so, you can’t tell what will
happen.”
She was the bridge, or rather the
draw. It was explained-by*the engineer
that great care must be used in its oper
ation to prevent an accident. In its pres
en# condition it is perfectly safe, but if
the man at the engine doesn’t "handle
her just so” at all times, it is likely to
break a pin or do some other mischief
that would temporarily put it out of com
mission.
“One of the advantages of this job,”
said the engineer as he threw some coal
oil the boiler fire, “is tnat t-s room
is always warm in the winter and at
least comfortably cool in the summer. In
the winter we ret the windows and the
door closed tight and the boiler fire keeps
the place cosy. In the summer all the
windows are left open, and if there is a
breeze at all we get. Are you going?
Well, be careful on the ladder.”
“All right!” sang out the reporter, and
slowly and cautiously lie went down the
ladder. At the foot of it was one of the
gatemen.
“No,” he said in answer to a question,
“we don't have mucl^ trouble with people
on the bridge. Once in a while some one
comes along and tries to jump off, but we
generally nail thorn before they get wet.
It's the same way on all the bridges, I
guess. People seem to pick ’em out as
the? bost places for suicide because they
have more Chance of being stopped on
them. than if they went to some lonely
place to die. Yes, I think there have
been one or two persons who have gone
off from this bridge, but they were up
and over before anyone knew what they
were about. I’ll tell you one thing I’ve
discovered, and that is that bridges are
great places for lovers. They are regu
lar promenades. Say, I’d like to have a
dollar for every kiss that I’ve seen given
and taken on this bridge!”
The Fourth avenue bridge and the
Midland bridge of the Erie are the only
ones within city boundaries that are
worked by the old fashioned method, the
use of beef and brawn instead of steam
or electricity. Tln-re, when the draws are
to be opened, an immense key is sunk in
the roadway. Its cross bars give room
for two or three men ott each side, and,
putting their chests against the|e, the
bridgetenders strain and push, moving in
a email circle, until the drawer is opened.
It is a clumsy device, but it proves effec
tive.
