sARrHoLpi's BIG GIRL.
The Preludlces Met By n Canyasser for In
Pedestal Fund.

The Bartholdi pedestal fund Is nearly
complete. The statue has arrived and
soon New York harbor will be Traced
by the most magnificent colossal
statue the world has ever seen.
Liberty Enlightening the World y
What a priceless blessing personal liberty
is. IL is the shrine at which people, ground
under the heel OF tyranny In the older
worlds, worship with a flrvancy that
Americans can scarcely realize; it Is n
principle for which Nihnists willingly die
the death Of dogs; and ft and proper IL Is
that at the very entrance Of the Bay OF
New York this 'emblematic statue should
flash n welcome 70 the world.
The press Is entitled TO the credit OF this
achievement Mr.. Philip Beers, who has
been making circuit Of the country on
bel ,lf of tho Pedestal fund, says that the
fu4d will certainly be raised, as the World
does not know the word Jdii.
Mr.. Beers says that he has found the
most pronounced generosity among those
of foreign birth. They seem more appreci-
ative Of liberty than do our native born.
Moreover, among some strange prejudice
seems 30 exist.

Mr.. Becrs's experience and the recent
uehth OF iIesluenJ hutteft OF tue Centfal-

no real power over such diseases, and in

headache, sickness OF the stomach, dropsl-
cal swellings, back ache, dark and offensive
huids, prematurely impaired eyesight, loss
