A telegram from Lexington, Va, SAYS !:
"Valentine, the noted Virginia sculptor,
his masterpiece being the world-tamous
recumbent figure Of General Robert Ed
ward Lee in the mausoleum OF Wash
ington and Lee University at this place,
will be here in few days TO submit
plans to and negotiate with the Jackson
Memorial Association for the erection OF
q bronze statue OF Stonewall Jackson.
The proposed statue will cost something
like 81, eco.
Mr. Valentine has been IN communi-
cation with the Executive Committee of
the jackson Memorial Association for
some days, and in response to their inyi-
tation will on Monday leave the city Tor
Lexington. 1t is understood that the
statue will be colossal, the size OF the
Breckenridge and will be erected upon
an elevated position, though all the de-
tails have not been settled as vet. Ever
since the association was organized 1t
has been quietly but effectively at work
raising the necessary funds for the work.

where they were exhumed, were rein

OF years have rested there.

 Mrs Georgia A. Peck is the managing editor of the Boston Commonwealth and is the only woman in New England holding a similar position. She inherited her liter ary ability from her father, the late Will lard Allen of Worcester. Her paper shows scholarly tastes and she pecks away at all social wrongdoings with great vigor.

Modern System of Advertisine.

The honest system of advertising should be but a small announcement of the offer of goods for the information of those who desire to purchase, in such . manner that those who desire to purchase, may, by seeking, find. But in advertising as it now exists, exaggeration is piled on exaggeration, and falsehood is added to falsehood. The world is filled with monstrous lies, and they are thrust upon attention by every possible means. The mails are filled with them
 When a man opens his mail in the morning, the letter of his friend is buried among these advertising monstrosities. They are thrust under street doors, and they are offered you as you walk the streets. When you read the morning and evening papers, they are spread before you with topographic display, they are placed among the items you desire to read, and they are given false headings, and they begin with decoy headings. They are posted upon walls, and on the fences, and on the sidewalks end cn balle- tin boards, and the barns and housetops and the fences of all the land are covered with them, and they are nailed to the tree and painted on rocks. Thus it is that the whole civilized world is placarded with lies, and the moral atmosphere of the world wreaks with the foul breath of this monster of antagonistic competition.-Maj. J. w. Powell. ,r--.. . -.--s- --- -.. f-. -.. .-t

Here comes striding through the press gaunt, wild looking specter, nude to the waist, his huge bones seeming to start through his brown, leathery skin, and his fierce, black eyes glaring out beneath for est of shaggy hair. There, with the slow step and stately bearing of man who knows his own importance, comes tall form with the shaven crown, long yellow robe, and red fan of Buddhist priest, carrying me back in 8 moment to the barbaric temples and island monasteries of Siam.

Better Cooks Than Women.

Not perhaps for the same reason that great chefs are men, but because one of the most striking phases of the civilization of today develops itself in that direction, men are get ting to be better cooks than women. They have always been better gastronomers. But the man about town, the luxurious idler who breakfasts at Delmonico's, lunches at the Brunswick or at Savarins and dimes at Solari's, actually knows, as a rule, moro about the constituents of the dishes on tho menu, and how they are put together and heated to achieve desirable result, than any woman he is ever likely to meet there or elsewhere. There isn't one woman in g hundred who can go into a restaurant such as those and order what man would call Ia decent meal" Women who have travelled, seen much of life ae their husbands and brothers see it, owe vast deal of their popu- larity to their acquired ability to know just what's what across Q table a deux.-New York Press 'sEvery Day Talk"

A SIGNMAkER'S LAMENT.
Decay of . Branch of the Painting Busi
 ness-WOrks of Art.

Decav of . Branch of the Painting Busi-
 ness-Forlxs of Art.
 Any person anxious to know what has be- come of the majority of the emblematlc signs which ten or fifteen years ago hung half a dozen in every block should visit any large signmakers workshop. The once familiar wineseller's bunch of grapes, the glover's hand, the locksmith's key, the carpenters saw. the blackslnith's mighty arm, the butchers boar's head, the hundred and one figures that formerly stood in front of tobac- conists' shops inviting customers to enter, are all on dusty shelves in the storerooms.
 ssThey are all gone out" said signmaker, ruefuHy looking over his collection. "True, the idea of painting tobacconists' signs white and making them look weird and ghost like revived that particular sign for a time and brought back same of it's old time effective ness, but emblematic signs ill general belong to the past. About all we sell nowadays are mortars, boots and clocks. Singularly enough the demand for them is not from country houses, but from the city. One would think that city people ill the hunt for originality that business competition com pels would reject sooner than countrymen the oldest merchants sign known to man. Emblematic signs need pushing. They ought to be still a good advertisement. Why, some of them, partlcularIy the n1e figures, are works of art. There are wooden and metallic Indians and beasts in stock that pretentious sculptors would not be ashamed of. Look at that bulls head and at that bust of Gambrinus! Look at the care and time it took to carve even so simple a thing as gun and get it true to life. Emblematic signs are carved no more. Those that are built are made of iron, either cast or spun. A use for which some of them yet command good price is as weather vanes and as the tops of fagstaffs. There are numerous men in town who have expensive emblematic vanes on their stables. I heard of one man who took his indoors at night It was so costly he was afraid it would tempt thieves.
 "But business in other kinds of signs is brisk enough" he continued. "We make them of wood, iron, glass, mirrors, porcelain, copper, wire, silk, velvet and plush. The signs in this city, as a whole, are second in artisticness only to those in New York, and that city's signs are second to none. The tendency is all toward display, with as much gold and glitter as possible. Iwouldn't dare guess how many hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gold leaf the signmakers of the country use up in year. Carved signs are the most expensive. It's no uncommon thing for a merchant to plaster S1, 300 to S2,000 worth of signs on tho front of his store. ."-Chicago Times.

journalists at Berlin and, by the way, they
 are nearly all of them higher grade men
 professionally than the others-were treat ed like outcasts. Every effort was made to get our showey delegation to do something for the American representatives, but Tn valn
 The reception was austere, the minister was too important to be seen, and the sec retaries acted and looked like lot of puffed up young counter jumpers. There was a vast amount of trouble, and finally MT. Pendleton made supreme effort to get one or two of the third-rate passes.
 His applications were treated by the Ger man government with contempt They were not even answered It was absolute ly necessary for me to get inside the mlll- tary lines, says MT. Hall, and went to the British embassy, where I had letters of in troduction. I was received with the ut most courtesy; efforts were made at once to arrange matters, and within three hours one of the secretaries called at my hotel with the minister's card, and the whole list of passes and credentials duly made out They were of invaluable service, and could be had by the other ministers for the asking, while the representative of the United States could not get the least i'm portant of them, nor even civil answer to his requests. It's lovely thing to ob- serve the grim, gloomy, and ghastly future of an American who throws himself on the mercy of his country's servants in Europe.

BOB VANCE OBJECTS.
He is the Sponsor of a Bill Concerning
 American Trade Marks.

Congressman Amos J. Cummings fur nished the New York Sunday Sun with a very interesting and graphic account of the deadlock in the house last week in which Connecticut's young Congressman, Robert J. Vance of New Britain, figured among the objectors to the blockading of legislation. -...
 The play was becoming tiresome to even the actors Gen Oates and Tom Reed held consultation. Finally the general asked unanimous consent that the house take a recess until Il 45. 8. m. The speaker thought further proceedings under the call must first be dispensed with The motion of Gen Gates awOke a new member of the house. He stood in the main aisle, his red head shining in the mellow gaslight. He was a member of the committee on patents. Thursday was day set apart for the con- sideration of business from that committee. Gen Oates's motion for a recess, if carried would continue the legislative duty and entirely wipe out Thursday, leaving the committee on patents Robert J. Vance of Connecticut. He again strenuously objected It was 2:15 a. m. The tired legislators gathered around Vance and implored him to withdraw his objections. He replied that he was deeply interested in the vote on bill that was set down for that day It was bill to pro hibit the importation of foreign articles of manufacture bearing American trade marks. Nobody in the house would be opposed to it. All he wanted was time for it's passage. The opportunity had been provided, and now it was to be set aside because of this snarl over the direct tax bill. Young Vance clung to his objection like bulldog. His stubbornness pro hO worn out with the fighting, agreed to coach him on his bill at the proper time, and aid l in it's consideration. He withdrew his | objection.
