HALLS
Vegetable SiGilian
HAIR REVIEWER -:

B,ooE1vn, N Y, after a seveEe attack of Fry
sipelas in the head, found her hair-alrcady
gray-falling off 80 rapidly that she soon became
quite bald. One bottle of Halls HAIR RE-
NEWER brought it back as soft brown and
thick as when she was girl.
re- Mr.. KEsLING, an old farmer, near Var
sac, Ind, had scarcely any hair left, and what
little there was of 1t had become nearly white.
One bottle of HALLS HAIR REVIEWER stopped
its falling out, and gave him a thick, luxuriant
head of hair, as brown and fresh as he ever had.
H- Mrs. A. T. WALL, Greenfield, Cheshire,
Eng, writes: 81 have found the greatest ben
eft from the use of HALLS HAIR REVIEWER, It
having restored my hair, which was rapily fall
ing off, and returned its original color"
So DIR. EMIL SEP, Detroit, Mich, eertiies
that "HALL's HAIR REVIEWER is excellent for
hair growing, and gives back the natural color
to faded and gray hair
RF MRS. 8. E. ELLIOTT, Chenille, ". Va.,
says: "One bottle of HALLS HAIR REVIEWER
restored my hair to its natural, youthful color"
No injurious substances enter into the
composition of HALLS HAIR REVIEWER,
and it is not dye. Its vegetable ingre-
dents render it in the highest degree bene-
fetal to the scalp as a preventive of dis
ease. Its effects are natural and lasting,
and it does not make the hair dry and
brashy, like the so-called restoratives COM
pounded with alcohol. .

WHAT REMAINS TO BE DONE.

Matters Which Will occupy the Next Two
Years.
The cap-stone of the obslisk is set, but the
monument is not by any means completed,
and the werk yet to be done will occupy at
least two years The removal Of the plat
forms and outside rigging will commence
tomorrow, and after all the timbers and
iron work have been taken in the holes
through which they passed will be closed
with exactly fitting stones. When that is
completed the work of fitting up the interior
will commence. To prevent moisture from
collecting in the seams of the interior stones
the walls will be covered with Portland ce-
ment.
The memorial stones, which are at pres
ent living in shed at the foot of the mon
ument, will be cut down to a thickness Of
a few inches and then inserted in the struc-
ture. The present wooden stairway will be
removed entirely and substituted by ore of
iron with turned balustrsdes, and the inte-
rior is to be lighted with electricity The
elevator, which is at present nothing more
than a plain, movable platform, will be fitted
up nicely with cushioned seats and sur
rounded with padded sides.
The most important matter, however,
and one that is not even decided upon, is
the design for the base of the monument.
Two of the numerous designs offered ap-
pear to be the tavorites. One is to make
gradual terrace from the present level OF the
monument floor to thelevel OF the surround
ing part The other is to have marble
wall built around the present terrace, with a
balustrade and grand approaches on each
side and fine statuary on the steps and at the
corners of the terrace. Nothing definite,
however, has yet been determined upon.
OF course, oil the present unsightly work
shops will be removed, and it is proposed to
shift the engine which runs the elevator,
and which is now close to the monument
and dis6gures it, to a distance and convey
the motive power by tunnel to the monu-
ment

AFTER THE CEREMONY.

Scenes In and On the Top of the Monu-
ment--Incidents of the Occasion.
This resolution had Just been adopted
when Col. Casey, smiling and happy, de-
scended the ladder from the top and stood
upon the elevator platform. He was greeted
with cheers and applause. A few moments
were spent in congratulations and then the
elevator descended, carrying quite a
number to the bottom As it began its
descent some one started The Star
Spangled Banner" and the chorus
was sung with spirit. A few of those re-
naming took the opportunity to again touch
the cap-stone and its metal summit for the
last time, and then they, too descended.
The superintendent and his men re,
msined and psrtook of collation. provided
by Col. Casey in honor OF the event Iheyy
we're all as happy as one could wish, and
their songs formed pleasing contrast to
the usual sounds of hammer aud chlsel. AT
last they crowded upon the elevator and,
reaching the ground left the top OF the
monument in its solitary glory.
On the four faces of the metal point the
following inscriptions are engraved: .Chiet

States Infantry; Bernard r. Green, civil en-
gineer; master mechanic, L. ii. McLaugn-

". W. Corcoran chairman, IN. f. Bell,
Edward Clark, John Newton, act of August

1t was estimated by Col Casey that at
the moment OF setting the cap-stone the
wind was blowing at the rate OF htty miles
an hour at the top of the shaft, and ther-
mometer on the top Of the platform stood at
SO degrees
Gen. Dunn ventured out upon the plat
form once, but was rudely handled by the
gale. 1t lifted of his hat and whirled 1t to
the ground below. He speedily retired to
the interior of the monument.
The Gag over the monument Aosted from
a flagstaff the top OF which is exactly 600
feet from the ground-thus displaying the
American colors at the greatest height OF
construction ever vet known in the world.
The monument itself, with Its total height
of $50 feet, far overtops every other struct-
ure of human hands.
Various articles of jewelry have been
manufactured from the chips of the stone,
which are quite pretty and greatly sought
after as souvenirs.

FROM BEGINNING TO FINISH.
The History of the Monument, Extending
Over n Century, Briefly Given.

The History of the Monument, Extending
Over n Century, Briefly Given.
The history of the monument begins over
a century ago. On August I, 1888, the
Continental Congress passed resolution
providing for the erection of an equestrian
statute of George Washington at the place
where the Congress Of the United States
should be established Subsequently, De-
cember "a, 100, Congress resolved that
marble monument should be erected at
Washington, and the family of the dead
pstrio! was requested to permit his remains
to be deposited under the shaft
A select Congressional Committee,
with Mr.. Lee as Chairman, in May 1900,
submitted a series Of resolutions proposing
an appropriation of 100000 to begin the
work on the monument; but the Senate did
not concur in the suggestion, which, how
ever, went through the House OF Repre-
sentatives.
Citizens of Washington took charge of
the matter in 1888, and formed an asso-
citation for the erection Of great National
monument to the memory of Washington,
and the aid was invoked Of the people OF
the United States to raise the sum required
to complete the monument, no one to con-
tribute more than one dollar. Chief Justice
Marshall was the first President of the
association, aud he was succeeded BY ex-
President Madison.
Very little progress was made, and IN
| lS47 the collections footed up only So 900.
| With this amount, however, it was deter
mined to initiate the work, and January
| 81. lS4S, Congress passed resolution au.
tborizing the Washington Monument So
ciety to erect the monument to Washington
upon any portion of the public grounds IN
the District of Columbia not otherwise oc'
cupied.
The site selected was that where the tiu'
ished monument now stands, and the 4th
of July, 1918, the corner stone was laid 10
the presence of an immense concourse oi
I spectators. The site is historic, tor 1t IS the
same as that chosen BY Maj. l. Entant and
approyed by Gen. Washington for the pro
posed statue in honor of the American Rev
olution. Between 1913 and 1854 the Mon'
ument Society expended $3.50, 900 on the
obelisk. and a height of 10 feet was at
tanned. which was increased to la feet
| where it remained till about six years ago
when Congress assumed charge Of the work
On August %, 1875, Cougressed passed an
act creating joint commission for the con
tinuance and completion OF the monument
and made the necessary appropriation
which has been continued annually. Befor'
resumins work on the old shalt, it wa
deemed best to strengthen the foundation D.
placing under it an additional mass OF ca
ment concrete to depth oftwelye feet foa
inches. This mass was extended twenty
three feet three inches beyond the old foun
;. dation, or one hundred and twenty-si'

Forty years have passed since the
corner stone of Washington monument was
laid at the national capitol. On Saturday
last this lofiest work of human hands was
"capstoned and apexed' during a heavy
gale of wind and rain. The stars and
stripes were unfurled from the dizzy height
above the heads of the workmeu as signal
the work was finished, while the battery Of
guns on the earth below responded in thun-
dering tones to the flag above. Five hur-
dred and fifty feet this marble shaft towers
above the ground. Certainly the average
American ought now to feel satisfied Of the
greaint IS of his country.

DETAILS OF THE CEREMONY.

WASHINGTON, December begun In
lS4s, and allowed by an Indifferent nation
to stand an unfinished mockery for many
years, the Washington Monument was yes
terday completed. Nature did not smile on
the event, but wept and stormed. The
rain-laden clouds, scudding before driving
east wind, sank occasionally toward the
earth and hid the pointed peak from sight.
All the morning, as interested eyes were
turned toward the top, the scafolding stood
bare and damp and the upward arms OF the
heavy timbers seemed to be raised in mute
appeal to heaven. 1t was perhaps indica-
tive of the pluck which has met and con-
quered the problems of the monuments
construction that Col Casey gave orders to
carry out the programme despite the StorW
Nature, admiring this independence, ceased
the rain during the ceremony, but as if still
to assert her authority, caused the wind to
blow a veritable gale.
Ten thousand telescopes, it is estimated,
we're lcyeled at the summit at 2 oclock yes
terday afternoon as those who were to take
part IN the ceremonies Of laying the cap
stone made their appearance upon the top
most platform, $50 feet from the ground.
There were Col. I. l.. Casey, the engineer
officer in charge; Capt. Davis and Mr.. Ber
nard R. Green, his assistants; P. Il. Nc
Laughlin, the superintendent of the work OF
constructing the monument; Dennis Lea
ry. the principal mason; James Hogan, the
rigger; Edward Wayson, the elevator con-
ductor, and Louis o Brien, the colored man
who has mixed all the cement used in set
ting the stones.
EVERYTHING being prepared, each person
on the capstone platform spread some
cement upon the bed of the stone, Colonel
Casey being the last to handle the trowel.
An order to lower away" caused the 3,3OO-
pound pyramid to sink slowly into position.
1t fitted exactly, not a chip being taken
from it. Cement was then placed upon the
shoulder upon which the aluminium point
was to rest. In this coins were placed, from
s. gold pieces to pennies, each person on
the platform contributing something. Su-
perintendent Mclaughlin placed the point
upon the top, Col Casey set it, shout

Captured by the London Police with his
Pocket FUN of Diamonds.
IoxBoy December During the past
week several jewellers in this city have sent
information to the police authorities that
precious stones of fine quality were being
hawked about under suspicious clrcum-
stances. Some Of these complaints were
Wild and sensational. The drift of most OF
them was that some large robbery OF jewels
must recently have occurred. and that the
thieves were making desperate attempts to
dispose of their booty in London. Iester
day a man of fine manners and elegant
dress evidently an American, entered an
establishment of a reputable dealer. The
diamonds he offered for sale were OF un-
doubted value and the prices ware so low as
70 arouse the dealers suspicion. OBTAINING
the man under pretense Of examining the
stones he sent for policeman and the man
VAS arrested. On being searched Ia
diamonds of different karats, 7S saphires
and a number of fine rubies and pearls
were found on his person. All the stones
were unset Those Of each class were care
iuIly wrapped in groups. A number OF mag
ni6cent ieweled rings, brooches, bracelets,
and six fine soltaires were also found. Hls
Wallet contained large sum of money IN
American currency and E2OO in Bank OF
Fnoland notes. The police infer from this
fact that it was TIE receipts of sale during
The day. The man refused to make known
his identity As there was nothing found
on bis person to Indicate who ne was OF
where be lived he was locked up. be gave
Miller as his name and America as his place
Of residence. The police are at loss what
todo with him or how to begin the work oi
sscertaining his identity. They have, how
1 ever. adopted theory as to the csse.i IAc,
cording TO this Miller belongs to gang oi
American thieves and crooks who finding
/ tbe 'fenee" business pretty well broken NJ
in the United States, sent him to Europe a

ployed in the Postofice Department. re-
call, however, the fact that it was fair day
and that listened to the splendid Grafton
delivered on the occasion by Mr.. Winthrop.
The National Intelligencer said at the
time" continued Mr.. King, taking
down scrap book, "that it was
an grafton which. for eminent pro-
priety and appropriateness to the oeca-
sion, for classic purity Of diction, ease and
grace in the delivery, manly, heartfelt, Thrift
ling eloauence and patriotic fire, has per.
haps never been surpassed. The course OF
the breeze was favorable in waiting the rich
sonorous tones Of his voice toward the au-
dience before him, and they responded to it
pulse to pulse, by oftrepeated bursts OF ap-
plause. Of the speech there is, so far as
we know, but one finer. Mr.. Winthrop was
fully up to the occasion, and has erected
for himself, if he had no other, an unPer-
ishable monument Of renown. As Web
ster's speech is associated with the
thought of the monument of Bunker Hill,
so will that of Winthrop be coupled with
the, recollection of Washington's monu-
ment at the seat of government"

The twenty-four hours rain just passed is
ablessing only to be excellcd BY a longer rain.
1t was hardly enough to let out the float,
ing coal mines which are pooled above US
and impatiently awaiting the volume of va.
ter necessary to speed them safely to the
needy thousands at Cincinnati and below,
and yet it was sufficient to relieve the parch-
ed up earth and fsmished springs and wells
roundabout Very few of US with our
splendid supply Of water, have realized how
the country people have suffered for the
want of water. A. Wilson, Esq, who
lives at the mouth of Short Creek, relates
that even at his place so near the river, with
'neyer.failing" wells, the inconvenience from
the long drouth has been very serious,
while on the hills back of him water was
one of the scarcest necessities on the farm.
Stock had to be driven several miles in
many places for drink. Il was the same
way down the river so soon as one got OF
the river bottom. Mrs. julius WEHRNAS,
OF Buck Hill Bottom, says it was only re-
Gently that Captain WEHRNAN and herself
were driving upon the back hills when their
horses wanted watering. 1t was impossible
to find a spring or well that was not dry.
Truly, this downfall is olinestimable benefit.
