A NATIONAL MONUMENT AT VALLEY FORGE

An ASSOCIATION exists in Pennsy lvania, for
the purpose of securing the erection Of a suit
able monument, on the conspicuous grounds
at Valley Forge, where the entertainments
thrown up by Washiugtons army, during the
terrible Winter of l777.-7S are still as plainly
visible as though constructed during the last
war AT n recent meeting of the associa-
ton, which now owns the building, which
was WashinGtons headquarters, though it
has not been able TO fully pay for it, and the
grounds about il, steps we're taken to devise
ways and means for inducing Congress tn
enact general law providing for the condi-
,ional appropriation Of mon.ys to assist such
organizations us theirs TO erect monuments or
other memorials upon the more important
spots of revolutionary history which are as
yet unhonorcd in this way.
1t was thought that in view of what Con-
gress had done a. Newburg and other places
toward aiding in erecting revolutionary mon
umcnts it would not turn deaf car to the
claims Of Valley Forge, and that it could not
do less than duplicate whatever the Valley
Forge association ha. done and shall have
done to keep intact the headquarters of
Washington there, and also, on the same
principle, duplicate whatever is raised for q
monument by them or others.

with the unnecessary and cumbrous dstinc-
tons now Of necessity employed in every

pier and more satisfactory it would be to all
concerned, If train which started at 2
o'clock a. M. were set down in the time table
simply as leaving at IA o'clock. This would
obvate all the fuss and red tape Of the
double columns and involved figuring which
now puzzles aud disgusts the weary and
hurried traveller. And in other practical
ways the change would he desirable. 1t

daily" or course, there will BE-
the usual opposition to this new
method of reckoning time. Even SHOULD
1t be generally adopted, it will at first, nc
doubt, occasion considerable confusion ant
embarrassment. But nevertheless it look
like good idea, and we do not see why 1

WOMAN Suffrage IN WYOMING.

Mrs. Lille DevcreauX Blake writes TO the
New York Times, as follows, in reply to re
cent statements in that paper, in reference ia
the working OF the extension of the franchise
10 women in Wyoming:
During trip in Nebraska last Fall | con-
stantly met persons who resided in Wyoming
aud from them l invariably heard testimony
in favor Of the effects of enfranchising the
women. Many of those with whom talked
had been opposed to the measure before
moving to that Territory, but had become
converts TO it by their own observations of
its workings. While the overwhelming tes-
timony of high officials is that Impartial
suffrage Is complete succ S." the writer
of the letter lin the Times seem to attribute
to women extraordinary and abnormal now
ers, as he thinks that the small minority of
them in Wyoming might, by their efforts,
rectify any social and political abuse to be
found there. The advocates of woman suf-
frage have claimed it as an act of justice ;
they have never held that it would bring
about the millennium. Women are not really
angels; they are liable both to weakness and
to error. Sure they were made to match
the men,"
Or inions are thus conflicting, as regards
the actual working of woman suffrage in
Wyoming and it will probably take more
extended trial 10 settle the question, mean
time this paper holds to its oft-stated ground
that the position of woman is that OF prac-
tical supremacy, in this as in most other
matters in which they feel q decided interest
in this country. They do not have the suf-
frage, generally, because they do not want
it. When they really desire 1t, as II class,
they will &c. it.

POSTAL TELEGRAPnY, AGAIN.

In view of the approach of session O
Congress in which the question of govern
mental telegraphy is pretty sure 10 come W
and 10 lead TO general discussion, Mr.. Gar
diner G. Hubbard's article on tho subject il
the current North american is of timely in
terest. MIR, Hubbard is strong advocat,
OF government control of the telegraph, ant
he not only puts the argument on that side
very forcibly, but also outlines a practicable
scheme. lie takes note, at the outset. o,
the enormous increase of the use of the tcle
graph In late years. The Western Union
company has increased its wires from rs, DOC
to 4}2 900 miles since 1866, and the number
oil kilograms has increased in the same pc.
Rod from 5000, 900 to Al 900, 900 year. The
volume OF dispatches has doubled every six
years, and the number of kilograms now
equals the NUN Der of letters transmitted by
the postoflice forty years ago, when Congress
made an appropriation for the construction
OF the first telegraph line in 1S43 Notwith-
standing this growth, however, the use of
the telegraph in this country falls much below
the rule in England, Holland, Bulgium and
switzerland, aud the only reason is the ex.
cessive cost. The average rate for ,cn.word
messages in the United States is 80 cents,
while the rate in England is but rs cents,
Tor twenty words, and in the continental
countries mentioned only about 10 cents per
message. The consequence is that the use
OF The telegraph in this country is Chiefly
restricted to business messages, which consti.
tute 80 per cent of all, with only 10 per cent
on social matters. and per cent press des-
patches, while in Europe more than two.
thirds OF the kilograms are on social mat.
tsrs' Thus while the telegraph abroad is
used principally by the people for social cor
respondence here it is chiefly used by bust
ness men Tor business purposes. The West
ern Union accounts for its high rates on the
ground that the average distance of trans
mission is $50 miles, or about three times ms
much as the average in England. But Mr..
Hubbard very soundly insists that distance
is only minor factor in telegraphing, since
inc cost OF Transmission docs not increase
with the greater number of
miles. This is shown by the fact that de-
spatches from New York can be sent to
Chicago nearly thousand miles away, for
less than 1t costs to send them to places with.
IN fiily miles of the metropolis.
But the real reason why the Western Union
charges excessive rates is that II 10 taxing the

MURDER CONFESSED.
The Mystery of the KIttery Tragedy
Cleared Up.

The mystery OF the Barrows murder at Kit
results in the arrest Of Oscar E. Blaney and
Mrs Mary L. Barrows, both OF Kittery, for
the murder Of Thomas Barrows on Novem-
Der IA. Barey confessed TO the deliberate
shooting OF Barrows with intent to kill, and
Mrs. Barows to being an accessory before
and after the fact. For hcartessness and
cold-blooded cussedness nothing in the annals
OF human butchery has surpassed the revela-
| tons of the Barrows case. The victim,
a farmer, residing in the town Of
Kittery, and man whose character, so far
as appears was good, was brutally shot
down in the dark by his son-n.law Blauey.
The cries of the old man caused the would
| be murderer 10 beat hasty retreat for his
own home an also brought Mrs Barrows to
his aid. She, with a pretence of horror and
sympathy helped the wounded man into the
house where he fell upon a bed, moaning
piteously, wounded, bleeding and in great
agony. The wife, disappointed at the in
completeness Of the job, Immediately started
for her son-in-law's house, and, doubtless,
informed him that Mr. Barrows was yet
alive. The guilty pair Immediately got into
a carriage and drove rapidly back to the
house. Arrived there, the inhuman wife said
to the son-in-law. NOV you must go in and
| finish him." The former then went
toward the barn while the latter entered
the house. AS he approached the poor
old man the letter, in tones hardly above a
whisper, said, oscar, l guess l must so
soon" With Undesirable GOODNESS and
brutality the spnin-law looked at the dying
man and SAID, Eyes, your time has come
now" whereupon he fired another shot at
his helpless victim, SCATTERING the bones OF
one hip and causing him to fairly howl, so
great was his agony. The bloody work not
being complete, another shot was sent crash
ing through the victims brain, who then fell
over dead The murderer then ran from the
house, and, in company with the old mans
wife, went about among the neighbors to
arouse them and inform them that somebody
had murdered Mr.. Barrows. Such are in
brief the revelations made by the murderers
themselves.

murdered. All had been shot through the
head behind the ear. 1t is supposed they
were chloroformed first as no signs OF

An odor OF chloroform was noticeable

White was also shot through the left arm.

$50, 900 from Texas in payment OF sales
made on the ranch. Bankers nero

Crouch's hands. Policy was stopping at
Crouch's having just come from Texas With
a large amount Of money. The theory 10
that Policy was followed from Texas by the
murderer or murdercrs for the purpose OF
robbery. The house was thoroughly ran
sacked and everything of value carried away.

negro says he heard humping noise about
the middle OF the night and thought it WAS
caused by the fierce wind which was blowing.

element and hundreds of people have flock

"TWENTN-FOuR O'CLOCK"

Somebody has said that the chief charac.
teristic of modern civilization is the evolution
of convcnicnces. Certain it is that most of
the inventions, both mechanical and theoret.
ical, which have been produced within the
last fifty or seventy-fve years, are inventions
of convenience. One reason for this is the
fact that the public demands this kind Of
productive ingenuity. The times are notori.
ously utilitarian. If the ordinary affairs of
business and social life can be facilitated
by the inventors genius, that is all that is re.
quircd. Leave to theorists and students the
great laws Of universal force, the planetary
discoveries, the latent principles of biology,
and give us something practical for our
money, is the cry OF the age. So we have
our Edisons and Bells; we have our tele.
phones, our pneumatic tubes, our cable cars
and elevated railways, our electric lights, our
steam-heating apparatuses, and thousand
other things which increase the value and ef-
fectiyeness, as well as the convenience, of our
practical modern life. 1t is no disparage-
ment to call the present fast" age. Its
achievements keep pace with its methods.
Along with the many invaluable mechani-
cial conveniences which the inventive genius
of the day has produced we have some
theoretical inventions which are likely to be
of value sometime, although the judgment
of the present hour seems reluctant to pro.
in their favor. Among these are,
In this country, the theory Of spelling reform,
and the recently proposed change Of time
standard. The former has been effec,ually
laid on the table for some time 10 come, but
he latter is just now attracting good deal
If favorable attention. 1t is proposed by
he orignators Of the scheme to substitute
'idereal time for the present IA. m" and "p |
NJ" division Of the day-that is, 10 reckon
be hours from 10 "a instead |
Il from ] to IL and ! to 10 again.
The practical advantage Of this change
