But Sherman's men were entering the
city. The gallant confederates were re-
treating. Confusion reigned supreme.
In the general stampede which followed
lesser sensations we're forgotten. When
at last the smoke of battle had cleared
away and people returned to rebuild
their fortunes the fate Of the murdered
woman was recalled and three theories
were maintained
One was that during the ball shrap-
mel shell had penetrated the retreat,
and, exploding, killed Miss Emma. The
second was that on her way home she
had been outraged and murdered by her
escort. The third was that she was a
federal spy: that she was tasked with her
identity, and that she had all along been
furnishing Sherman with important in
formation. Enraged by her treachery
the men sentenced her to death and exc
cuted the sentence. Her body was then
hurriedly returned to the room from
which she had emerged the evening be-

But il was too late to investigate.
After awhile the whole matter was for

Bartholdps colossal statue Of "Liber-
ty Enlightening the World is to be re-
garded not merely as personal gift Of
French citizens or the outcome Of indi.
vidual impulse, but as a popular token
Of the unbroken friendship Of the French
nation for the United States during the
latter's first century Of existence, and an
earnest of the continuance Of that
friendship in the future. France is the
only nation to which the United States
owes a distinct debt Of gratitude, and
the graceful sentiment Of fraternity

carry out the idea of commemorative

Of Its ommandor-in-chicf, Gen. Booth OF
London, England, who is now making a
tour of the United States. holdings series
of GLORIOUS heaven-on-earth meetings"
William Booth was born at Noting
ham, England, in 1929, and when 10
years of age was converted. He was
brought up in attendance on the services
Of the church of England, but at 10 went
over to the Wesleyan methodists because
their meetings interested him; when II
he was licensed as local preacher, and
when "a he entered the ministry Of the
methodist new connection, and quickly
became noted for his success as an

pressed it, his work has been ito save
souls on rough and-ready lines" and the
success Of the salvation army Is due TO
his efforts.

without consulting the lord Of the man

what she wants and sends the bill to her
husband to storm over at his leisure.
And. Belle, do you know | believe Eve

she liked 1t Just as well AS Adam did,

there will be no effort in that line needed

The pedestal is shell of smoothly
hewn granite, held in place by several
thousand barrels of cement. Its entire
cost was $250,0OO, of which 100000
was raised by popular subscription to
the pedestal fund of the New York
World. The remainder was appropri-
ated by congress. Ground was broken
for the foundation in April. 1888, and
1t was completed in April, 1885. The
pedestal was completed late in the

of more than 900, 900 francs. IL is
made Of sheets of beaten copper fixed on
a pylonic iron trusswork, which serves
as support for the shell-like covering.
The copper plates are kept in shape by
iron bands, and supported by iron
braces, which are clamped on the CEN
trail core. They do not bear in the least
on the lower plates, and their weight is
always independent of all that is above
and below. Exhaustive mathematical
calculations were made upon the resist
ing power of the iron pieces, upon the
center Of gravity, and upon the actions
of high winds. The calculations were
made by taking as base the most pow
erful hurricanes which have been re-
corded in America or Europe. The cop
per plates are two and one-half milli-
meters in thickness. The copper plat
ing of the statue of St. Charles Borro-
meo is only one millimeter thick, and it
has stood for two centuries.
