ers, Queen of the Gypsies of the United

cemetery, where she was buried to day,
the lot belonging to the Gypsies is
marked by an exquisite monument of
granite, shipped here from Greece The
crowd of people at the cemetery was
immense. The funeral services were
Christian, being conducted by one of the
leading pastors of this city with the
choir of his church. The grave was
sunk in the ground about ten feet. Tt
was square pit about ten by eight feet
in dimensions. At the bottom was a
box made Of stone slabs, and in this box
the coffin was laid by the side of another,
that of a daughter Of the deceased. She

but the body had been exhumed to be
placed beside the mother. A huge mon
ument will be erected over the grave-a
life-sized statue, of white marble, Of the
dead Gypsv Queen,

Besides there are other large items, such
as the maintenance of the Navigation
Bureau, the Annapolis Naval Academy,
the Naval Asylum, etc., which make up
the balance. These expenditures have
nothing to do with building navy. In
all these twenty years there has been but
one appropriation for building new ships.
This amounted to $3,200,00O, appropri-
ated in 1878 This a complete answer to

Police Notes.

Gilbert Cannon, rough living in the lower part of the city, has for a long time been terror to his parents and people living in the neighborhood. Yesterday his father summoned the police and Officers Reilly and Clancey were sent to arrest the disturber of the peace. He observed their approach up Wallace street and ran out through the rear of his yard on to the railroad track and darted up toward the center of the city. The officers gave chase and overlook him at the Franklin street bridge. He showed fight and attempted to bite and punch the officers Not r1aK1ng saUIsIacuUry PrUgrrss On Hne, ne dropped on his knees, grabbed Officer Reilly by the legs and attempted to throw him. He himself was thrown. With the assistance of Gannon's father he was pulled five steps up the em- bankment toward the street He threw himself free, however, and fell, striking his head against the rail and receiving severe cut. Then he waxed stubborn and refused to leave the track. A train was due at that moment, but he continued to oppose with his great brute strength all efforts to get him from between the rails. Just before the train dashed into the cut the officers succeed ed in getting the nippers on him, and pulled him to one side and thence took him to the precinct.

The Garfield Monument.

Some of the best specimens of ancient art are unquestionably to be found among the monuments and marbles over the graves of
 distinguished men. In modern times the
 memorial artists have signally failed Ger
 tainly this is true of England and America
 We are continually hearing of demolished
 monument in England; and while we have
 not arrived in this country at the heroic pitch
 of deliberately raging an artistic blunder or
 indiscretion, the public are well aware that
 many a bronze and granite structure is toler-
 ated behind an iron railing on account of the l sacredness of the name it is designed to com memorate. Except the tapered shaft like that of Bunker hill, we have borrowed no de-
 sign that we have not misused Canova created what be called an epoch in the de-
 signing of marble tombs, the main idea being
 one or two figures carefully worked out be- side the entrance of simple touch of classic architecture. We do not seem to be able to understand the meaning of such a design, and our tombs are of very primitive nature An Engl1shman writing home some years ago de- scribed Mount Vernon as 8 cross between a carriage house and a dog-kennel He may have been severe, but it is well to admit frank ly that it is not cross between any ideas of high order.
 While marble tomb to a distinguished man may be properly placed in a cemetery a shaft over 100 feet in honor of public man
 and drawing continual stream of people should not be doomed to the surroundings of
 public burial place. Such monument is
 national and does not require the companion
 ship of terraced white tombstones and flower
 beds. Yet this is the mistake now being
 mace at Cleveland with the proposed Garfield
 monument The site is cemetery. It will
 therefore be impossible to secure the grandeur of effect desired and expected in structure of that importance and expense. The design settled upon, moreover, is not tomb but a shaft rivaling the Bunker hill monument in it's proportions. A Cleveland writer hkens it in appearance to lighthouse or shot tow CT, ''the side rooms below being for the keep CT and records instead of the family" It will thus become the favorite resort of people who desire to take a birds eye view of the city of Cleveland It is Q debatable question whether any monument should have such fa- cilities for sightseeing, but there can be no doubt about the impropriety of placing national monument to a great citizen in cemetery, with all these vulgar crowd d-gather- ing features.

 CINCINNATI, O., July 18.-There is great delay by the saloon keepers in paying the Scott law tax. To-day is the last day of grace and but three hundred out of thirty five hundred have paid. Tomorrow the penalty of twenty per cdnt. is attached and if the tax is not soon paid the county treas urer will bring suit against every delinquent It is expected that these suits will be divided up between the various magis- trates all over the city and county. It will be bonanza for the squires, but severe on the saloon keepers. There is little doubt the law will be sustained and that the tax must be paid The delay in the collection of the tax will seriously affect the infirmary and police funds which depend on the liquor tax
