A Waterspout

special from Hot Springs, Ark, says:
To-day is an epoch in the history Of Hot
Springs. The city is gutted: ruin and
wreck meet the vision everywhere, and
nothing like 1t has ever been known to
compare with the results Of last night
storm, which occurred too late to be tele-
grtphed. 1t was waterspout, and the
valley was swept with mighty tidal wave.

sacrifice Of human life is under the circunl-
stances appalling. Without warning the

by the mad waves. Strange to relate few
people were conscious of the horrible dis

olate scenes and drag the drowned from

about IL o'clock ut night from q north
westwardly direction. II was accompanied
by stiff. cool wind, though not strong
enough TO produce damage. The rain fell
IN torrents from ii to l o'clock without
intermission or cessation. Indeed, those
who were up and witnessed the awful
scene describe 1t az one never before seen

The CIeinson Request.

AL citizens of our State doubtless
appreciate tho lofty motives which
prompted the late Mr.. Clemson to
grant o certain bequost to the State for
the purpose Of founding an agrioul.
tnral college. just now there is con.
siderable discussion as to whether 1t
should be accepted by tho peorle, in
view Of the conditions published by
the Will. The approaching Legisla-
ture will have no more important duty
to perform at its session than to do-
eide this vital question which will
undoubtedly materially affect tho pco.
pie of tho entire State. In Wow Of
these facts lot us SEQ what the will of
Mr.. Clemson proposes.
1t donates his Fort Hill plantation
SO long as the State in good faith
dovotes tho property to the purposes
expressed in tho will, and also De-
queaths about eighty thousand dollars
rs an endowment for the institution.
1t proposes perpetual control Of tho
college by men named by him and
thoir Successors.
1t proposes to give the interest on
eighty thousand dollars, cay dvo thou
sand dollars, annually, TO its support,
and the. iEstitution must bc called the
: Clemyon Agricultural College.
This, we believe, Is a fair statement
of what the will proposes to the State.
Now let ns see what, should tho con-
ditions be accepted, Ia expected fro M
tho State.
The buildings Of tho Mississippi
College, we are reliably informed, cost
tho State about one hundred and
seventy thousand dollars. Our State
would certainly want buildings Of o
like character, aud those tho State
must pay for. 1t would take at loast
twenty thousand dollars, annually, to
rum the institution, and of course
throo-fourths Of this must bo appro-
priated by tho State. In short, tho
will asks the State to appropriate two
hundred thousand dollars to pay for
buildings and fifteen thousand dollars,
annually, for tho support Of tho insti-
tuition, while Mr.. Clemson will give
ono hundred thousand dollars and
tlvc thousand dollaSSsSaa M Az annually, for its

FRANCIS SCOTT KEYS MONUMENT

FRANCIS SCOTT KEYS MONUMENT.
Among the requests of James Lick
was one of 500, 900 for the erection of a
monument to the author of the national
hymn, The Star-Spangled Banner"
The contract for construction was
awarded Feb. z, 1885, and the eminent
American sculptor, w. w. Story, was
selected to design and construct the
tribute of honor. Mr.. Story went to
Rome, and for two years tOiled upon his
task in the Barberi palace. The statue
will be set up in the children'S play
ground at the park, south of the con-
level ground, where fine view of it
can be had.
The two main statues and bas-reliefs
are of bronze, while the monument
proper is carved out of travertine, cal
careOuS stone, sometimes known as
TufaccO marble. it is areddish-yellOw,
slightly variegated with dark blue lines,
and its durability is amply attested by
st. Peters cathedral at Rome, portions
of the coliseum and the Porta Civita
Vecchia, all of which are in perfect
state of preservation. Mr.. Story sug-
gested travertine because it's yellowish
tone is more agreeable to the eye, and it
was susceptible of the most delicate
artistic finish.
The monument will be fifty-one feet
from the base to the top of the flag. The
figure of America surmounting the flag
will be eight feet in height and that of
Key will be little larger than life-sZe.
The figure of America stands out in
bold attitude and embodies the spirit of
patriotic freedom. In her right hand
she holds the Star-Spangled Banner, the
folds gently dropping over her back.
The pedestal on which America rests is
a delicately beautiful block of marble,
each corner of which is surmounted by
miniature eagle. The figure of Key is
one of peaceful pensiveness, with very
thoughtful look on his face. The baS-
reliefS on the sides of the monument are
four feet in height and of bronze. The
side presented to view in the cut is
group OF figures singing '"The Star
Spangled Banner" and on the other
side is fac-simile of the verses as
written.
Francis Scott Key was not only poet,
but an eloquent lawyer, and he was
hOnOred by the generation who knew
him as worthy citizen. He died sud-
denly Jan. II, 1913, in the city of Balti-
more, and he was buried in the Mount
Olivet cemetery. Years after,
plain marble slab was placed at the
head OF his grave by George IL. Pendle-
ton, who married the poets daughter.
Some attempts have been made to erect
a more fitting monument to the poet in
Baltimore, but they have been unsuc-
cessful. A bill was introduced in con-
greSs by Congressman Unger. of Mary
land, for this purpose, but nothing
came of it. Afterwards a bill was in
troduced in the Maryland legislature
providing for the donation of 5000 for
a monument, but the measure failed of
passage. 1t is more than likely that the
name of the author of the "Star Span
gled Banner would have gradually
faded from memory but for the thought
full patriotism of James Lick.

THE BABY AND THE SOLDIERS.

Rough and ready the troopers ride,
Great bearded men, with swords by side;
They have ridden long, they have ridden
hard;
They are travel-stained and battle-scarred;
The hard ground shakes with their martial
And coarse is the laugh Of the men of the
camp.
They reach spot where mother stands,
With baby clepping its little hands,
Laughing aloud at the gallant sight
OF the mounted soldiers fresh from the fight,
The captain laughs out I'll give you this,
handful OF gold, your baby to kiss
Smiles the mother, "A kiss cau't be sold,
But gladly he'll kiss soldier bOld.'
he lifts up the babe with manly grace
And covers with kisses its smiling face,
Its rosy cheeks and its dimpled charms,
And 1t crows with delight in the soldiers
arms.
Not all for the aptain," the soldiers call,
The baby. we know, has a kiss for all -
10 the soldiers breasts the baby is pressed
BY the strong, rough men, and by turns
caresSed;
And louder it laughs. and the mother fair
Smiles, with mute joy as the kisses they
share.
Just such kiss" cries one trooper grim,
When left my boy gave to him."
And just such kiss on the parting day
gave to my girl as asleep she lay"
Such were the words of the soldiers brave.
And their eyes were moist as the kiss they
gave. boston Transcript.

jackets are often of red cloth, with
three rows of buttons on the front.
Never before has red cloth been so
much worn for costumes, jackets, Mus
covite mantleS, Hungarian huSSar pc
lisSeS, etc.. but it has to be selected and
worn with prudence, and not for prom
enade purposes. Pinked-out cloth is
very fashionable. The edge of tlounce
or tunic, instead of being hemmed,i is
pinked out at the edge. This edge often
rests on pinked-out band of cloth in
contrasting color with the happiest eff
fects. Cashmere is pinked out similarly.

THE CHILL AT A BALT.
between two persons who had Just

the belle was found sitting in front of a
fireplace, with her slippered feet on
the fender, her cloak thrown around
her shoulders and her hands out
stretched to the fire. 1t was a cold, cold
night outdoors. and the adjoining ball
room was not quite adequately heated.
Still, it was not apparent why the maid
ell should shiver so.
"Why are you so cold?" asked her ex-
partner of the last round dance.
I've been tobogganing," she replied.
'Eh? What?''
"Sliding Oh that smooth, icy plane"
She indicated the expansive, glossy
shirt front of the man, extending from
his chin to his waist, and as wide as his
shirt permitted.
"Ah! yes" he responded. II had
just come in, and the starched linen was
awfully cold, of course-but-.''
"And the next time l combine waltz
and tobOg," and she basked her decol-
lete self in the freight, -'I'll dress for
the t0bog rather than the waltz"
In short, his manly breast had been
chilling, instead of thrilling, to the part
ner, who had danced with her wish-bone
