The Washington Monument.
Washington Star.

The Washington monument has now
reached height Of 40 feet, AID the custo
mary shift is being made to continue the
structure twenty feet higher, at which point
another and last change will be made, rs
only five courses will then remain to raise
the structure to height Of 500 feet. From
this point the pyramidal roof, ffty-6 feet,
will begin. All the stones which have thus
far been laid have smooth finish on the in
side, but the stones Of the next course will
jut little on the inside, and the next ones
little further, and so on, these corbels
forming the support for the interior arch,
which will be the base OF the pyramidal roof,
1t Is expected that the monument will reach
a height OF 800 feet In less than two month =
time. Steps will then be taken to com
mence the work upon the roof; and while
that work itself will not take more than
three weeks, the preparation for 1t will be
so delicate and Of different character from
any heretofore made that It will be some
time before the laying OF stone Is begun.
BY the LIST Of November It Is confidently
expected that the structure will be under
cover and practically completed. There will
be some finishing touches to be made, per-
haps, but these can wait till next year, II
necessary.

Vest Shore.


From April till August the Columbia river,
below Astoria, Is dotted with the white sails
of fishing boats constantly passing between
the fishing grounds and the net racks and
docks ut the canneries. At all times Of the
cay these boats may be seen beating out TO
the bar or coming In before the wind with o
load Of fish, though they appear In the great
est numbers Just before and after the change
Of the tide. During the fishing season As
toria Is O busy place. At least 5000 men
are added to Its population, whose wages,
spent with liberality and even recklessness,
swell the volume of retail trade, and con-
tribute to the support Of many institutions
which, II not morally or commercially bens-
fetal TO the city, at least do their share TO.
ward making things lively.
Salmon fishing Is q business requiring both
skill and courage. Nearly every year some
luckless ones are carried out to sea and lost,
and yet their comrades continue to fish on
the bar with as much recklessness and as
needless Of danger as before. Boats fire..
quently remain out twenty.four hours.
Many 60 out in the night and fish on the In.
coming tide, returning with their catch when
the tide Gibbs.
This industry has developed TO enormous
proportions since Its inception In 1896. Two
boats then represented the fishing feet, while
now there are 100 of them on the river;
1000 cases were packed in that year, as
against 100000 put up in 'S3. To accom-
plish the result required 3s canneries, 100
boats, 3 400 fishermen and as many hands In
the canneres. There are 81 ,0OO, 900 invested
In buildings, machinery, boats, nets, etc.
During 1888 fishermen alone were paid
sl,5j0,000, aud 1,es0,000 fish were caught,
averaging 20 pounds each. The total value
of the seasons pack was over 5000, 900,
nearly all Of which was paid for labor In one
form or another (sincs the fish represent
labor only, the wages being paid in Astoria
and chiefly expended there.
The long racks of nets; the process of
spreading net upon them or loading 1t into
the boat; the unloading of the fish at the
dock; the Interior Of the factory, with Its
many curious machines aud busy operatives,
and the feet on the river, are all interesting
and curious scenes.

A Chicago Castle.
Nelu York Grdphtc.

Potter Palmer, the proprietor Of the
Palmer House at Chicago, is building resi-
dence on the shores of Lake Michigan in a
style Of architecture rarely seen In America,
and sufficiently extraordinary TO confer noto-
riety upon him similar to that enjoyed by
Mr.. Vanderbilt and other owners of excep-
tional houses. 1t Is on the new Lake Shore
drive leading out to Lincoln Park, and some
what resembles the old Edwin Forrest man.
sion on the Hudson, now owned by the
Mount St. Vincent Society, being q close
copy of an ancient baronial castle in Alsace,
so close, indeed, that comfort has In some
cases been sacrificed for sentiment. The
stone used Is Of light brown color, with
trimmings of a darker shade. The front of
the house consists of an enormous round
tower, with occasional tall, narrow windows
In 1t TO admit the light, which rises perhaps
forty feet from the ground, and Is embel-
lishsd with battlements, gurgoils, little tur-
rets jutting out here and there, and all the
paraphernalia Of q medieval fort. On the
left Of the tower is the main body of the
house, likewise in the correct feudal style,
which descends behind a story at time IN
til the whole slopes off to the dog kennels
In the back yard, which also resemble those
supposed to have been In vogue In the mid
die ages. A conservatory Is attached, and
the grounds are being laid out on an extern
sivs and attractive plan. The great round
tower In front has q sort of spiral twist of
light stone circulating to the top and giving
q sort Of gingerbread appearance to 1t. The
tower Is surmountsd with Gag staff to carry
q flag when the lord of the manor is at home.
Strangers In Chicago often mistake M.
Palmer's house for the North Side Water
Works, which 1t somewhat resembles, and
which are in that part Of the city. Mr.. Pal
mer's wife, formerly Miss Honore, is sister
of the wife of Col. Fred Grant, and Is much
younger than her husband, being but thirty
two, while he is past sixty. 1t is thought
that some day she will be a rich widow.
Potter Palmer, whose whole idea seems TO
be TO make money, is said to derive an in
come of $1,000 a day the year round from
the Palmer House.

WHAT ELEPHANTS EAT.
DmIutIes that Please the PaIates Of Fore
paugh's Proboscidians.

at costs on an average 81 day TO supply
a healthy elephant with hay and fresh bread,
which are his staple articles of diet. OF
course" continued the agent Of the Fore
paugh show, "a big beast like Bolivar will
eat twice as much as q small one. Then,
again, some Of them are what In circus par
lance are known as good show feeders
That Is, their mouths are open all day taking
IN peanuts, candy, cakes aud fruits. An AMI
NAL of that kind will eat but little Of the
food provided for him by his keeper. Some
elephants never become fond Of nuts or
swcetmeats. Others will gorge themselves
on daintiss by the hour.
81 have known an elephant 10 break loose
during the night aud raid the candy and
lemonade stand, and, although standing
knee deep In peanuts aud candy, prefer to
make meal of of q half dozen willow
baskets and the gunny bags In which nuts
are kept. No, diet of that kind never ap-
pears TO hurt them. Their digestive appara-
tus is as healthy as the boosted internal ma
chnery Of an ostrich. Light Of Asia, Fore
paugh's sacred white elephant, is the dsintest
beast ever knew with q trunk. His daily
food costs about ten dollars, and II must be
just so or he will not touch it. In the MORN
ing, after being sponged with tepld sweet
nilk, he is given dozen or 80 peeled
oranges. lie eats the sliced oranges with
great daintiness, lifting each slice separately
and placing IL on the end Of his tongue, from
where II lie passed into his throat. As each
-norsel slides down he closes his eyes like
:;iLaLsx,r grants with satisfaction, and joy
vssly saps bis hams with his faint brush tail.
An hour later he is given two or three gal
Ions Of sweet milk and five loaves Of fresh
bread, and at noon he feeds royalty on two
dozen bananas. In the evening he has more
fruit and between meals he lunches on clo-
yer hay, sprinkled with sugar and water"
"Is he fond of peanuts ?" inquired the re-
porter.
"Peanutsw repeated the agent, sghast;
"why, we wouldn't give him a peanut for
$4,000"

They Compromised
Detroit Free Press.

A man about thirty-five years Of age gal
loped down the stone steps leading to the
Western Union Telegraph Office yesterday
and rushed at the receiving clerk with the
inquiry:
"Can / express my feelings in tele'
gram?''
ado you mean that you want to use pro.
fame language"
~ do! | want to use some Of the tslest
kind Of III"
ave can't send anything of that sort.
There are 10 letters In the Morse alphabet
TO stand for swear words"
"Well, then, I'll have 10 let II 60, but
wanted TO telegraph to my brother that I'd
been robbed. / put my satchel down to fight
with hickman, and some one stole It."
He went away growing and mutteriDg,
but In about an hour he returned In still het-
ter haste and exclaimed:
SNOW I've been robbed of my coat and $40
In cash, and I've got TO swear by telegraph
or bust! Hung my coat on telegraph pole
while was trying TO outjump fellow, and
some one gobbled it!"
GAS told you before, we don't transmit
any profane language" replied the clerk;
you can notify your brother that you have
had bad luck"
Sand not express my feelings! Never !!
He wouldn't believe 1t was me. Make an
exception In my case, can't youa"
The clerk couldn't, and the man said he
would do his swearing by letter, and make 1t
heavy enough for double postage. 1t wasn't
half an hour, however, before he reappeared,
and this time he couldn't stand still as he
shouted out:
ave got to do II! Hadn't been out Of
here ten minutes when chap In shooting
gallery mopped me all over the floor! Rob-
bed-licked-mopped! Say! lemme swear
by telegraph! I've got dollar left, and I'll
give 1t to you TO send ten words to Bay
Clty!"
"You might get around the rule by send
Ing CIPHER Dispatch" suggested the clerk.
"Bully! / tumble! I'll fix II In just q
minutew
And he wrote and handed in:
"Robbed! Licked!l!! - Il! - IT.
Send me $40 -. Hip
"There she is" he said, as he paid for II.
"Theres robbery, meanness, arson, stealing,
pounding, sentiment, profanity, and BROTH
erly love all crowded into the one thing, and
you bet your life Ben will catch on. I'll 90
out and get In jail aud walt for his answer"

The Grant-ward Failure.
Pioneer Press.

The last developments In the Grant and
Ward business detract nothing from the ro-
mantle and monumental character Of that H.
lustiious swindle. The assignee's report
foots up nominal assets Of over twenty seven
millions Of dsllars--s27, 1876, o9s, ITO be eI-
act"-as Mr.. Skimpole would say--as against
which he has been able, by close hunt, TO
find 7,l74 OF real assets The liabilities
border on Sl7000,O00. This exhibit CON-
pletely dwarfs all prior financial operations
of the brilliant galaxy several of whom the
State Of New Jersey keeps on exhibition In
Its penitentiary at TreHton-though certain
other members are still at large upon their
native heath, devoting themselves TO lamb
shearing and orphan and woman plundering
In the vicinity Of Wall stre.t. The country
has passed by the whole MATERIAL these
matters, In fact--as episodes and ancient his.
tory. But there must be many individual
fortunes, beside those Of the Grants, that
will never reappear In the lists Of capital.
Somewhere the loss Of as vast sum Of money
must rest very heavily; Sl7,0o0, 900 on paper
even must represent very big deficit In hard
money. There Is no particular moral to be
drawn at this time that has not been pro-
duced 90 often Is 10 be considerably atten-
uated by exercise. But the condition Of If
fairs under which Mr.. Ferdinand Ward
operated, It Is pretty safe to say, will not
very soon repeat itself. Ifthe elastic laws
Of the State Of New York can only find q
rule whereby that young gentlemans opera
tlons may be curtailsd In the future by the
sure and simple device Of securing his valu-
able person, the investing public will every
where breathe more freely. II Is the Wards
more than the Kesnes and Goulds who bring
crystallized misery TO the doors Of those who
can least afford, and who certainly least de-
serve, II; the honest accnmulators Of capital
by hard work, and the trustees Of those too
Immature 10 care for themselves.

Madison times. (Tallulah, Madison Parish, La.) 1884-1???, 1884-11-22

On the subject of visitors who admin
lister consultations of the highest kind to
invalids, it is not our intention to en-
large here; but critical patients might
have much to say about it. People vary
greatly as to their ideas of the proper
time at which to see their clergy in i'll
ness. We have known some who have
not considered themselves i'll enough to
see their clergyman, and others who
have thought themselves much too ill to
see them.
But there are plenty ofzealous laymen
and laywomen who are always ready to
minister to the spiritual wants of the in
valid. Against such we have nothing to
say, but it may be worth while to warn
them that il is dangerous to arouse in a
patient the spirit of theological repartse.
We would also suggest, that it is well to
avoid repeating religious Consolati ms
that have already been administered by
Others. A seIIous-minded person lately
quoted passage of scripture to an in
valid, who promptly replied, Il was
waiting for that. Yes, it is consoling
text; but you are the twenty-seventb
person who has reminded me of it,"
