Relic Hunters.

Relic Hunters
GATHERING CHIPS OF MARBLE FROM THE WASHING
TON MONUMENT.
An elderly gentleman and lady were picking
their way through the piles Of marble chips that
lie about the stone-cutters' shed in the monument
grounds to-day and now and then stopped to pick
up small piece, which was safely slowed away In
the lady'S reticule.
"What are they doing?" said one Of the stone
cutters to STAR reporter. s'Why they are spous
fendan
'Sporls flends?" repeated THE STAR reporter.
''That Is what we call them-SpoiiS hendS," said
the artisan. "They are increasing In numbers
now that the work IS nearly completed. That is a
very modest couple. Most OF them come into the
sheds and get pieces from the stones that the men
are cutting. They are taken away as relics Of the
monument Some people have a little picture Of
the monument or OF Mount Vernon painted on
them, and see some OF these are offered for sale
now IN the stores.
= "YeS. we have about hundred or more every
day come to ask for pieces OF stone. Before the
last course OF the Shart was finished the spoils
hunters were always anxious to know at what
height the stone was placed that the chip came
from, and have marked the height on hundreds
All kinds OF people come. Sometimes ladies richly
and fashionably dressed come in to get relic, and
again you can see people come down here with
market baskets and NIL them up with chips l
suppose these people with baskets propose TO col
lect them for SALE"
The key stone, which is to be placed inside the
pyramid OF the monument little below the apex
have already bespoken chips from the capstone
when that is finished. The clippings from the
stones are turned over to the District government
and will be used in making road beds.
