President O’Reill¥ of the Board of | Public Improvements, author of the Free Bridge plans which the Government en- gimeers are reported to have disap- : * Proved, said Wednesday that the bridge ‘would suffer little if any delay as the 4 result of this action. “There is no such thing as an ad- Verse Beport on the entire plans,” said Mr. O'Reilly to a Post-Dispatch re- : “If the Government requires any change, it wil: be in i.e height of the piers and the width of the spans, and this can all be altered in the trac- ings. This work need take only a day or two,” ‘Reports from the engineers’ division of the War Department, where Col. W. H. Bixby’s report on the bridge plans is on file, state that Col. Bixby’'s @dverse findings in the matter of the bridge plans have béen sustained by “= ## Gen. William Marshall, Chief of Engt- ‘Meers, U, S. A.

/ Convinced that she was not the daugh- ter of Mrs. William J. Hirth, but to satisfy Mrs. Hirth and allay doubt Mrs. Aletha Givens traveled with her hus- band .from Mascoutah, Ill., and rang the doorbel] of the Hirth home at 10 o'clock ‘Tuesday night. The Hirths had retired, but William Hirth got up and when he opened the door and saw the young couple stand- ing in the hall he cried out to his wife, *O, it is Gillie!’’ Mrs. Hirth rushed out and gazed earnestly and long at the pretty young woman who stood smilingly before her. Then she placed her hands on Mrs. Givens’ shoulders and looked and looked again. Slowly she backed away, her eyes filled with tears, shaking her head sadly. “No, you are not my little girl,’’ she said. “‘You have her forehead and there is a resemblance about the eyes, but you are a blonde and none of my family is light.” To Quiet Aching Heart. “TI knew I was not your daughter,”’ said Mrs. Givens, ‘‘but I felt so sorry for you that I thought I would come and satisfy you and quiet the aching mother heart. When I read in the Post- Dispatch the story of how your daugh- ter was taken from you I knew that I Was not yours. “Tl was left with a Dr. Brun, and I understand you did not visit Dr. Brun.” ‘That is right.: I did not go to Mas- coutah,”’ said Mrs. Hirth, “but when I saw your advertisement I thought you might be my little girl.” Both women were weeping softly now, and when Mrs. Hirth told Mrs. Givens that ghe would adept her as her daugh- ter if she so desired both were sobbing, in the heart of one the longing for her lost child and in the other hunger for the love of her mother.- But nothing could come of the meet- ing except the parting again, for both realized that they were not of the same blood. Doctor Remembers Baby. A dispatch to the Post-Dispatch from Pittsburg, Pa., Wednesday says that Dr. Oscar Brun is practicing medicine in that city and well remembers the child left in his temporary custody at Mascoutah in 1886. The girl, he says, was. adopted by a family named Benedict ahd took the name Adelia Benedict. She was the daughter of a wealthy Chicago man, who is still living. She was born out of wedlock and her mother was known to Dr. Brun as Mrs. Ida Gilbert. Mrs, Gilbert went to Mascoutah ac- companied by the. Chicago man and sought the doctor’s services, then she left, roast the child with him.

2 yhadeoaas. : Socrety aie, a HE marriage of Miss Ethel Gamble, daughter of Mrs. Gamble and the late Dr. D. C. Gamble, to Mr. Sam Kennard Jr. was very quietly cele- brated at the home of the bride’s moth- er, 37 Portland place, at 11 o’clock ‘Wednesday morning. The service was read. by the Rev. Dr. Harris Gregg of the Washington and oe Avenue } Presbyterian Church. White chrysan- themums and smilax decorated the house and the ceremony was followed by a wedding breakfast. Mr. and Mrs. Kennard departed later for the South, where they will spend the early days of their honeymoon. Mrs. Lilly Lam- bert was matron of honor and Miss Gamble’s only attendant. The bride- groom was unattended. Owing to the recent death of Dr, Gamble and the death of Mrs. Fidelio Sharp, Mr. Ken- nard’s aunt, the wedding appointments were very simple and quiet, and no guests but the immediate relatives of the bride and bridegroom witnessed the ceremony. Mr. Kennard is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel M. Kennard of 4 Portiand place. Miss Grace Masrey was married at noon Wednesday to Mr. George L. Ball at the home of Dr: and Mrs. Willard Bartlett on Washington avenue, the ceremony being performed by Rev. Dr. W. J. McKittrick, after which a wed- ding breakfast was served and Mr. and Mrs. Ball left for a trip ssa the South. Mrs, Ola W. Bell was hostess Wednes- day at the first of a series of entertain- ments she will give for her guest, Miss Eligabeth Coffin of Philadelphia.
