The statue of Gen. Custer which was
erected at West Point a year or two
ago has been taken down and consign-
ed to a rubbish heap. This action has
been brought about by the solicitation
of Mrs Custer, who was disguised from
the first with the statue, consideringit
an outrage on her husbands memory.
The artist had evolved both the like
ness and the dress and arms of the gen.
'ral mainly from his inner conscious
ness. The statue represented Gen.
Custer in long-tailed coat and troop
er's boots, with a saber in one hand
and a horse-pistol in the other, with
the attitude and air of a dime-novel
hero engaged in the impossible feat OF
exterminating, single-handed, a whole
tribe of savages, while all the real char
acteristics of the general had been ig-
nored or missed. Notwithstanding
Mrs. Custer had furnished the artist
photographs OF the general, together
with the uniform and arms worn by
him in the West, with various informa,
ton as to the generals appearance
habits, ETC., such as would aid the ar
fist in his work. He will probably
never again be seen by the public.

The Chico (Cal.) Chronicle contains
the following account of a great meteor
that recently fell in that vincinity. 1t
was many times larger and heavier than
the meteor that fell in northern Iowa
some years ago, which was considered
a remarkable thing of the kind. The
Chronicle says:
The fiery meteor that fell just east
of our city, lighting up the country for
miles around, came with the noise of
many thunders, and our citizens were
startled with the dread thought that it
was the crack of doom. A party
of our citizens went out to search
for the heavenly visitor, accom-
panied by the geologist of the
Chronicle staff. In the party were c. L.
Woods, O. Harshbarger, Steve Magee,
E. B. Johnston, George. Newell, Jack
Terrill, Herman Greenland, E. E. Can
field, Joe Sproul, H. c. Mansfield,
Bert Mason. They struck bee line for
the foothills, nearly due east of town,
and came to halt at a farm house SIX
miles from here. The party scattered
and instituted search. They walk d
over rocks, through canons, and ,x-
amined the bed of creek for some signs
ofthe stone from the clouds. Woods a. d
Mansfield were absent from the search
ers nearly an hour, when they were
finally seen running towards the wagon
waving their hands and yelling. They
came up almost breathless, but managed
to tell that the object of their tramp
had been found. A rush was made by
the explorers to the spot that had been
designated, nearly mile away and
little higher on the foothills. Arriving
there they were certainly well reward
ed for their pains. The ''aerolite'
was lying alongside a pile of rocks,
and in appearance somewhat re-
sembled a pyramid. In length it was
few inches over thirty feet and
in diameter over two feet. Its weight

II, reading a paper before the Char
ity Conference in Washington the 9TH
or day Charles Dudley Warner re-
marked that the average penitentiary
is ve.y much like modern hotel,
whore persons are lodged and fed for q
time, with the exception that there is
no bin to pay at the end of the term.
Under the sway of the sentimentalists
prisons have lost nearly all the feat
ures of place of punishment. Yet
the cost of sustaining convicts in this
way reaches enormous figures, and is
estimated as equal to the interest on
the public debt at it's highest point.
Putting these two facts together, it is
apparent that prison reform of some
kind must soon become q pressing
question.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin
publishes list of fourteen articles of
prime commercial Importance, show
ing the comparative values of such ar
cleS in 1925, 1S45, 1886, 1875 and
1885. In order to arrive at general
average, the writer takes the value of a
ton OF pig iron, in 1925, $50 per ton,
as a unit, assuming such quantities
OF the other articles as, at the prices
of S25, would amount to a ton of pig
iron. The result is to indicate that 81
will buy as large quantity of such ar
ticles as 81 80 in 1875, 81 80 in 1855,
81 cents in 1915 and S1.19 in 1925
Iron is lower than at any previous
date OF the comparison, corn is lower,
and 50 are coal, salt, pork and cheese.

A Wonderful Surgical Feat.

Chicago Special: A surgical operation
without q parallel in the history OF med.ca
science was successfully accomplished here

ventured out in rain storm and caught
cold. The child was never born, but tor
nation, supposed to be tumor, began ir
the abdominal region. In 1881 she com
menced having spasms which physicians pro
nounced to beepileptic fits. Nopain accom-
panied the spasms, and they always
came on without the slightest warning.
During all these years she has been
under constant treatment from the
best physicians in Chicago. At a
consultation between a number OF prom
inent physicians it was decided that
the tumor could not be removed without
proving fatal. The patient decided to al
low the operation to be performed at all
hazards. This was done by DR.. McF atrich,
assisted by Doctors Milton Jay and A. l..
Clark, the lady being under the influence oil
ether. An incision was made in the alb
domen, and the supposed tumor was re-
moved, when, instead OF a tumor, the sur
geon drew out a fully formed and well de.
veloped child. The incision was carefully
stitched, and the patient survived the opera
ton. No such case is mentioned in any
medical work extant.

OF the affair. 1t was IL very grievous error
for the government to release Geronimo al
ter he was captured and put in irons in 1877,
at Oso Calente Mexico, by the San Carlos,
Indian police.
After he was put on the San Carlos rcser-
walton he only remained few months, and
went off to his old murderous business.
When first captured he was worthy ofdeath,
for his hands were dripping with the blood
of his victims. So certain was he OF lenient

by reclamation. j. A. Kohler OF Summit

ierring to Grant was cheered enthusiastically

the second reading OF the revenue bill, thu

creased burden OF taxation upon beer and

was 265 to 252. A dispatch says
When the result was announced Lord
Randolph Churchill and Mr.. Parnell jumped
upon their bepches and enthusiastically
waved their hats and the cheering was re-
neWed. The parnellites and all the Conser-
natives voted with the majority, The
majority included Sir Micheal Brewer and
several Irish Liberals. Although strong
whips had been issued, many government
supporters were absent. When the result
of the division was announced Gladstone

and cynically smiling, started, turned pale
and clutched his hands nervously togeth

The resignation OF the cabinet in the pres

ment. We do not suppose that even con
sentative leaders will seek to undo what
