This morning there will arrive in the city on
its way to Pittsfield Mass, the most remarkable
monolith in the United States, if not in the
world 1t is made of one solid shaft of pure red
granite forty two feet high, and polished to such
n degree of perfection that the eye is first daz-
zled, then charmed by the exquisite beauty and
proportion of the work. This shaft was pro-
duced at the quarries of the SyeniteGraniteCom
pany. of St. Louis and Chicago, in ST. Francois
and Iron counties Missouri about eighty miles
south of st. Louis. Special machinery, special
men and special cars had to be furnished by the
company TO handle this gigantic monument
Measuring at the base four feet six inches
square. it gradually slopes until the summit is
reached where the measurement is two feet
nine inches on each side of the four angles This
is the only polished shaft in the United States
of such magnificent proportions, its weight be-
over forty two tons. Cleopatra's Needle is some
what higher but the surface is not polished. For
nearly one year the combined labor of score of
men has been expended on this mammoth monu-
ment, which will mark the resting place of one
OF st. Louis's most euterprisng and and respect
ed citizens-the Hon. Thomas Allen.

STUART ROBsON's MISTAKE.
Mistaking a Gentlemans Private Country
Residence for the Forrest Home for Actors

Philadelphia Times
While Robson and Crane, the comedians were
playing an engagement in this city recently,
they made up party OF dozen actors among
whom were several stars besides themselves,
who were playing at other theaters, to visit the
Forrest Home for Aged Actors, at Homesburg
Stuart Robson originated the scheme. and acted
as pilot to the party. After he had made some
inquiries to the location OF the home, the
party went to the Broad street station and
boarded train for Holmesburg Junction. On
alighting Robson led the way up the maple grove
lane that leads to the home, but instead OF turn
ing to the left he kept straight ahead. After
the party had walked about three quarters OF a
mile Robson stopped in front of handsome
rough brown stone mansion, with beautifully
appointed grounds supposing 1t to be the For
rest Home.
Are you sure this is the place, Rob-" asked
Crane.

as he pulled the door bell. A colored man

him

the house or the proprietor or whatever you
call him"
The eolored man looked at the dusty actors
SuspiciOusy and said:

the gardeners"
The band of actors were left standing in the
hail. and they remarked to one another that the
hospitality of the home rather freezing.
The colored man had been absent about fifteen
minutes when Robson said:
This is damned awkward, boys; let's stroll
through the home ourselves"
So the party walked about the elegantly fur
nshed parors and reception rooms and then
Robson led the way up stairs. The first room
they came to was magnfcently appointed.
Il suppose this is the superintendent room,
boys said Robson. HE takes good care Of him
self, don't he!"
just then Robson turned around and saw
handsome, elderly gentleman standing with
white face and cenched fists at the head of the
stairway, trembling with rage
How dare you, sirs, began the old gentle
man.
All here's the superintendent boys" said
Robson. Then. addressing the old gentleman,
he said: Were making tour of inspection.
You've beautiful room for yourself"

mansion.
Now, look here, said Robson. 'were the heirs
of the dead man. We've actors-were his fell

The elderly gentleman almost beside himself
with anger cried out
''This is not the Forrest Home This is"
But before he could finish what he was going
to say Robson plunged down stairs, followed 10y
his actor friends, who ran pell nell out of the
house into the road. They did not go the Forrest
Home, and Robson never spoke a work until he
got back in his room in the Continental Hotel

John Sherman's Stage Ride.
Helena Herald.


Senator Sherman enjoyed break meek ride
down SIskiyous mountain on his stage Journey
between Hedding and Rosenberg, Ore. The Ohio
statesman had pre-empted seat with the driver
to get better view of the splendid scenery on
that elevated divide The pace from the sum-
nit tearing one and the steep. narrow
grade made the ride appear particularly hazard
Gus. The Senator suggested that ne could view
things better at slower gait.
Got to make time, replied Jehu, brusouely.
II assure you that am in no hurry at all" ex-
claimed John, casting his eyes down the prccipi-
tous, crooked roadway.

The lively SIX bronco team sped reckessly
ahead. Sherman holding on with might and

Turning sharp curve the swing pole suddenly
snapped, For few moments things looked
squally. A single lurch might send the coach

Keep your seat" cried the Jehu. who with
brake and reins quickly brought his team to
standstiil.
A little later Sherman was holding the lines
his foot braced on the ''hodback" while the
driver was down among the cattle splicing the
broken swing bar
All was in order again presently, and the
Senator treasured as to the entire safety of the
twelve mile hour canter down forty five
pitch grade, kept his place TO the bottom with
out culver.
ThinKing it over now Sherman says it was the
most exhllarating stage ride he ever experienced,
and he wouldn't mind making the trip overland
from California a second time, just to take in
that interesting piece of Star route expediting
down the Siskyous.

Since the First Presbyterian Church has become

lead very busy life. Yesterday he officiated at
two funerals. In many families where death
occurs there is desire to have the Presidents
pastor conduct the ceremonies, and so wide
spread is this feeling regarding funerals. mar

BILE for the Doctor to respond to the calls Then
there is the removed Office holder, the would be
office-holder the tramp, all of whom presume on
a claim to his interest, though never having met
him before, and seek out the parsonage on
G street to deliver their grievances and
suggest that their cases should reach
the Presidents ear. Notwithstanding the Doe
tors willingness TO help all in trouble, it is hard
ly to be expected that his answer is other than
one of coincidence. So frequent are these calls
relative to multitude of matters, that his time
is about as thoroughly occupied as is the Presi
dents His sermons which are delivered on
Sunday are only produced by the aid of mid
night oil, which burns at the Doctors vigil in
the C-street studio, casting on the book. cased
walls strange shadows, which dance about sym

who haunt the place by day; while beneath the
lamp lights flicker the Doctor with busy brain

the shelf, gives sigh of relief when the task is
finished and the Hill of difficulty is passed
