 WASHINGTON, June 19.-Comment having been made on the refusal of M. Roustau, the French minister, to attend the formal recep- tion of the Bartholdi statue to-day, that gentleman in an interview said: It Is true that have declined these invitations, al- though I have felt highly honored at receiv- ing the invitation. My only reason for de- clination is that am too busily occupied here in Washington to be able to make the journey to New York" a- A collation. in City Hall concluded the days festivities. Tonight the French naval officers attended private entertainment at the Star Theater by the Mexican band recent ly at the New Orleans exhibition and Niagara Falls. Tomorrow night they will go to Wal lacks Theater. On Tuesday Admiral La combie and his officers will be taken on an excursion around the bay and on Wednesday night they will be banquetted at Delmonico's. Both eourtesies will be under the direction of the chamber of commerce.
 The History of The Enterprise.
 The idea of liberty goes back more than decade and is all M. Bartholdi's own. He is 8 Frenchman who has won fame in the exc cution of colossal statuary, the bronze Liber- ty being his greatest, and the largest single figure in the world, ancient or modern. It is twenty years since Bartholdi, in listening to M. Laboulaye, the French political writer and the Unions firm friend during the greatness and the love she bore to France, conceived the idea of executing something symbolic of these qualities. After the Franco-Prussian war he visited the United States. On his first glimpse of New York harbor M. Bartholdi says he thought that was the place for his emblem. In 1874 Bartholdi, Laboulaye, Lafayette aud others set the pro ject fairly afoot in France. The design of Liberty was decided upon and the Franco American union was formed to raise funds for it's construction. The means used were much the same as afterward obtained in the United States when the pedestal was to '|be paid for.
 apart Bed1oe's Island for it's abiding place. M. Bartholdi executed the right hand of the statue for the centennial at Philadelphia in 1876 and it's head for the Paris exposition in 1878. On October 28, 1881, the centenary of the battle of Yorktown, the pieces of the framework and of the base were put in place. The work was shipped from Rouen 29 days outlay of $200,000, and the pedestal will cost a still larger sum. The following dimensions are given: From bottom of p1inth to top of torch, 151.44 feet; height of bottom foundation of pedestal above low water mark, 13 feet; height of foundation mass, 52 10 feet; height of pedestal proper s9 feet total height to top of torch above mean low water mark, 305.11 feet. Forty persons stood inside the head at the Exposi- tion universelle.
 M Bartholdi has said: '"The statue was born for the place which inspired it's concep- tion." Victor Hugo's last epigram con cerned this gift ssThe form of the statue, is everything, and it is nothing. It is nothing without the spirit, it is everything with the idea"

CLUVERIUS MUST DIE
Though He Declares Himself Innocent
 of Murder.


 of Murder.
 RICHMOND, Va, June 19.-The Hastings court room this morning was crowded, while hundreds of people filled the corridors and the streets in the immediate vicinity The cause of this gathering was the expectation that the death sentence would be pro- nounced on T. J. Cluverius, and it had been intimated that he would make some state ment The prisoner was brought into court and occupied seat with his counsel. He appeared calm and self-possessed. Judge Crump stated to the court that the prepara- tion of bills of exceptions had not yet been completed, and asked that 8 fur ther postponement be ordered until torney. MT. Meredith, opposed delay inasmuch as the matter of preparing the bill Of exceptions would not be interfered with. Judge Atkins concurred with Mir Meredith and decided to proceed. The clerk then told the prisoner to stand up, and pro- pounded the usual question as to whether he had anything to say why death should not be pronounced against him. The prisoner in low and rather husky voice, addressing the court, said: 'I will say, sir, that oa are pronouncing sentence on an innocent man. That is all I have to say, sir." Judge Atkins proceeded then to pass sentence briefly but impressively, fixing the tineof the execution on November 20th next.
 The prisoner stood without manifesting the least emotion, and when the judge had concluded took his seat quietly. The court was then adjourned and the condemned man taken back to jail where he was locked in the murderer's cell there to remain until the day of execution or until granted new trial by the Supreme court, which will meet in this city on the 2d of November.

The course was from Lafayette Station to Shawmount, one and a half miles straight away. The University crew took the water first at the start and led before the first hun dred yards when they were overhauled and passed by their competitors. At the mile post Cornell led by two lengths, when the University crew spurted and gained slightly, but were unable to entirely close the daylight between the shells. The cup was won by the Columbia crew in 1880, the Princeton in 1881, the University in 1882, 1883 and 1884. To-day's race attracted a great crowd and considerable disappointment was manifested over the failure of the Philadelphia crew to retain the trophy

UNCLE TOM AND HIS DOG. The Dumb Friend of am Unfortu-
 nate Actor.

The Dumb Friend of am Unfortu-
 nate Actor.
 BOSTON, June 19.-In the dock of the municipal court this morning sat middle aged man whose scanty and ill-conditioned attire, unkempt hair and beard and dejected face sufficiently showed that his fate had been hard one. By his side sat a sleek and pretty little black -and-tan whose nickel plated collar bore the words 'tJames Fanning-Uncle Tom," the name and fame of the dogs master. Twenty years ago ev erybody knew that James Tanning was the Uncle Tom of the stage par excellence. Up to to-day no better impersonator of the char acter has been seen. When at his best he took to drink and his path, therefore, was downward one. One by one his friends turned away from him, until only the dog was left. He has begged for himself and his dog, and when there was food for only the one, the man went hurry. For three months their only home at night has been a bench on Boston Common. When, often the case, Fan ming was urged to seek the shelter of some alnshouse, he replied that his dog must be left outside and that neither of them could bear. But starvation at last conquered him and to-day he asked friendly policeman t2 complain of him as common vagabond. When arraigned he pleaded guilty. ''The court sentences you to six months in the house of industry" said the clerk. The grant turned to the judge: Might I take the dogs" said he. 'You may" said his honor and the next case was called.

MT. Hurd's appointment on the table until the whole Board could make further inquiries regarding that gentleman "Not that have any en-nity against MT. Hurd, but should like to know the gentleman better, as have never heard of him before tonight. It ia easy enough to obtain recommendations, i" said MT. O'Brien, land I think there are many who could obtain good recommendations as Mir. Hurds and still would not be recog- nized by the Board. We all have acquaint- ances in Bridgeport and can easily find out about MT. Hurd." given salary of $1 TOO, he was now getting about $1 ,500.
 MT. Strong hoped that the salary of classi- cal teacher in the High school would be ma tsrially reduced. It should be much less than has been paid to past teachers.
 Mir Dutton stated that if smaller salary was paid the classical teacher in High school, less interest in the work would be manifested by the scholars and the result would be that a number of scholars who now pay tuition would leave.
 Mir. Plunkett thought that Mir. Hurd should be appointed by the meeting.
 MT. Bennett thought that they should vote MT. Hurd and MT. Thomas in as they had been recommended.
 MT. Strong thought that MT. O'Brien was right in his ideas of MT. Hurd and agreed with him in regard to the matter.
 MT. O'Brle2 said: Although l have prop CT respect for the Committee on Schools, yet I don't think it is right for them to appoint any principal without the Board being made thoroughly acquainted with him.
 The Board then voted that MT. Thomas be appointed classical teacher at High school on a salary of $1 800 year.
 The Board voted to lay the matter of MT. Hurd's appointment to the Winchester school over to the next meeting.
 comm uDicatiOp was read from Professor Bail stating that he would give free instruc tions in mechanical drawing to the pupils of rooms il and 12 in the public schools to-day at the High school from 9 to il a. m.
 It was voted to accept the three text books previously reported for the High school
 The janitors of the schools were all reap pointed, and all at their old salaries with the exception of the janitor of the Hamilton school, who had his salary increased $25. He now gets $650.

GENERAL GRANT
Doing Well in His Mountain Retreat Carrying On His Talks With Pen. ell and Paner.


 cil and Paper.
 MT. McGREGoR, June 19.-When the af- ternoon train had returned to Saratoga, bringing the last of the excursionists, Gen. eral Grant came out on the porch for few minutes. He appeared again about o'clock and sat out until quite dark. The opinion of his family and attendants after he had retired at nine o'clock was that the day had brought no change in his physi- cal condition or in the state of the disease, but that he suffered less from depression of spirits. Dr. Douglass thought the day had brought an improvement in almost every re- spect, the neck swelling having subsided some what and the threatening appearance of the throat having been slightly allayed. There was little diminution of the choking cough, which in itself is facilitating and calls for most watchful care. On that account Dr. Doug lass was with him constantly this evening. until the throat having been cleansed and the morphine injected the general was prepared for rest. Dr. Douglass said that he thought the conditions were fa- vorable for quiet night, He remains in the eottag so as to be in close call should alarm ing symptoms recur.
