THE WASHINGTON MoNUMENT-Ted day this
imposing looking and rapidly growing structure
reached height of exactly two hundred feet
OF this elevation about thirty feet have been
adoed since work began upon 1t last spring. IL
Is thought that not less than thirty feet and
possibly as much as forty-five feet more will be
winter whit The latter figure can easily be reached
with falr weather and no bad luck, IL the
marble Is furnished rapidly enough That i1
VIII pe is ny no means certain, however, as it is
not always supplied as fast as the workrnen
can handle II, with the new and improved
machinery for hoisting, etc., now in USE Each
course consists OF layer OF stone precisely two
rect thick, which Is to be the thickness OF all
the courses from the foundation to the tor. The
stones are not, however, all CT one length or
breadth. Tney vary In these dimensions In
order to ''break joints" and "bind" the work as
firmly as possible: but they are all as long and
wide as they can be procured, as the more
massive the stone the more secure and lasting
the structure will be. The ultimate height
OF the monument, as most readers OF Tag
STAR know, is to be five hundred aud
fifty feet, which will make 1t considerably
the highest artificial object in the world at the
present time, and the highest. IS is believed
ever constructed by man. 1t is thought that
the whole shaft can be completed in three years
more time.

from Long Branch says: The president
spoke Of the relief that be felt from the
absence Of some Of the doctors at the
morning dressing. He spoke to the al
feet that there seemed to be less ex-
citement at the dressing, that it was
done more quietly. He took into his
hand bird which Mrs. Garfield
brought him this morning, and ate
1t with evident relish. His general
condition is better. Heahas recovered
from the fatigue of the journey entirely,
and his wound looks better. One Of
the openings in the parotid gland has
healed, and the wound is undergoing q
natural process Of repair, and alto
gether the situation is very much more
hopeful this morning. a
A rumor prevailed late tonight that
the president had vomited during the
evening. It Is believed the rumor orig
mated from the fact that the president
ate little hearty and was somewhat
restless. The attending surgeons deny
that vomiting occurred. M W
