Baltimore's Columbus Monument.

Baltimore is the possessor OF the
only monument in this country to the
memory of the discoverer of America.
Strange to say, it was set up by
foreigner, the first French Consul to the
port of Baltimore. He was an eccen-
trio man, possessed of great wealth and
an ardent admiration of Columbus,

a BABOON'S SUICIDE.
Inconsolable at Her Or$prings Death, s. 3
swallows Matches.

Here is a queer story vouched 'vr
by the staid and sober Philadelphia
Inquirer: The crew of the bark Ed
ward May, which arrived YESTERDAY
from the Philippine Islands, are dis"
consulate. Not even the fact that the
vessel on board of which they had
sailed so many thousand miles was
safely moored in the placid waters OF
the Delaware could assuage the grief
of the jack tars. The pet of all on
board, beautiful baboon OF very
rare species, had committed suicide
when within few days sail of port.
There were several monkeys on
board when the vessel left lloilo, but
they all died except the big haboon,
which shortly after coming on board
gave birth to baby baboon, of which
she seemed very fond. This is the
first known instance of such an ioter-
c,ting event occurring on shipbcard.
All went well uatil the cooler atmos-
phere of more northern climes was
reached, when the little one sickeped
and finally paid the debt of nature.
The mother was frantic, refused all
nourishment, flew at every one who
approached her, and finally succeeded
in getting hold of box of lucifer
matches. These matches the creature
swallowed, the result being that she
died in great agony the following
evening. Had she and her offspring
survived it was the intention of Cap
tain Mehaney to present them to the
Geological Society's gardens.
The bark had passage of 129 days,
and met with some curious phenomcna
when in the neighborhood of the eqGa'
tor Gains, heavy rains, water spouts,
thunder and rain storms were expert
enced to an unprecedented extent.
During one heavy thunderstorm She
lightning played up and down th,
shrouds, while on each yardarm wer,

One OF the Greatest Pieces of Ina gnative
HOetrY.

Poetry.
The one thing which seems approXi-
mately certain about the chief author
of the Had is that he was Greek of
Western Asia Minor. The weight OF
evidence appeared to the ancients to
point toward Smyrna as his native
city, and modern students generally
agree in this opinion. Yet the poems
themselves give no hint of any Greek
cities existing in Asia at all. On the
contrary, the poet apparently assumes
that his tale belongs to period before
the emigration of the Hellenes, from
their peninsular home, eastward across
the Egean; that is, before the gray
dawn OF Hellenic history! 1t is not
unlikely that the siege of holy 1lios is
in truth a far-otf echo of that eastward
colonizing movement itself.
But the more completely the Tale OF
Troy eludes the grasp of historian and
ethnologist. so much the loftier is the
position which it assumes in its true
character, as masterpiece of imagi-
native poetry. The Ilad satisfies
most happily the three demands which
we may make upon every artistic ere
alton. First, the plot is eminently
simple and complete in ITSELF The
subject announced in the opening
line
Sing, goddess, the wrath of Achilles, the OF
spring Of Peleus-
is steadily worked out to It's final re-
suits. Even the death of Achilles
himself and the fall OF the guilty city
are foreshadowed in so distinct and
impressive a manner that all our
reasonable curiosity is satisfied. Sec
ondly, the warriors and matrons
whom we see acting and suffering,
whether they are real Greek men or
not, are at any rate pre-eminently hui
man. We do not demand that the con-
ditions of their life shall be such as
ever existed, or could have existed, on
our earth. Nay, we welcome romantic
and Imaginative surroundings for the
poets scenes. We only insist that
within their environment the creatures
OF the artist shall act as real men and
women would act under such circum-
stances. But thirdly and chiefly.
Homer's characters are heroic. They
tower high above the commonplace
levels OF humanity. They seem not
so much like ourselves as what we
would wish to be. Perhaps 1t is well
to say. as frankly and as plainly as
possible, that this is the final and in
dispensable test OF the artists right to
be. We ourselves know the pettiness,
the limitations. the disenchantments Of
human life only to well. The preacher,
the teacher, the political and social
reformer. may, perhaps, accomplish
some good by merciless analysis and
satiric caricature OF our failings. Tho
artist is the creator OF the beautiful.
He must inspire and upliit us by set
ting before us something wrought In
our likeness. indeed, but nobler than
our ordinary selves, William Gran

HIDDEN TREASURE
round in Housekeeper's Old
Trunk in the Garret.
i"elVe Thousand Dollars Hoarded In
Thirty Years on u Salary of Five
Dollars n Week.

NINoNA, Mimi, Oct. 2l.-Lena Wein-
DeIg, housekeeper OF the Huff House for
many years, was burned to death last
May. 1t was not known at the time
that she was possessed of more than a
lew dollars. She left four trunks, which
appeared to contain nothing more than
good supply of womans wearing an.
parel. These trunks stood in room oc-
cupied by Miss Weinberg for two or
three months, and then were removed to
a storage garret. Yesterday a cousin
OF the woman turned up at Winona
and told story of having heard
MISS Weinberg state that she had plenty
OF money Inquiry was made at the
banks and in other quarters where funds
were likely to be placed, but no evil
dence was found which would indicate
that she had left money. Tho cousin
suggested that the trunks be looked
through for notes or other securities.
The trunks were brought out of their
dark recess and opened. The clothing
was carefully lifted out and searched,
but no writing was found, except about
dozen old letters, none of which con-
tanned any reference to money. The
searching party was about giving up in
despair when one of them raised the
corner of one Of the trunks and let it
drop. There was sound of money
rattling together. A hatcnet was
brought and a hole made, from which
gold ten-dollar and twenty-dollar gold
pieces poured in a stream. The
other trunks were also found tc
contain false bottoms and deal
of money, Besides the gold
there were bills Of the denomination OF
Sl00,S50 $50, otc., and at least S25in the old
fashioned fractional paper currency. Or
being counted the hoard footed up $40, 800
in gold, and over Fl 800 in bills. Where
the money came from is a deep mystery
Colonel CoclSerel, for whom she worked
thirty years, says he has not the slight
est idea where she got it. Her salary
was never more than s. a week.

Thirst satisfied by Sucking the BLOOD Of
IA Sea-Bat.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 22.--The seven
survivors of the steamer Earnmoor,
which foundered in cyclone September
> while en- route from Baltimore to Rio
Janeiro, arrived here yesterday, having
been picked up by the steamer Santi-
ago, of Nassau, after drifting several
days, suffering indescribable tortures
from hunger and thirst. "The horrors
of hunger on the second day became
awful" said one of the survivors "and
it increased as the time wore on. We
managed to pick up sea-weed in the Gulf
Stream, which gave us a little nutri-
ment, and on the third day flying
fish was caught. This was Immediately
cut up into a portion for each man and
devoured. We also captured a sea bat
and sucked its blood and then ate its
flesh after it had dried in the sun.
The first man to die was seaman
named VIM. Robinson, of Baltimore,
and the second was the third engineer,
Thos. Hunt, of Philadelphia. One night
while we were all asleep except Ger
man fireman named Plagg, who was on
watch, he suddenly became insane
and jumped overheard We were too
weak to save him. We were without a
compass, and steered by the sun by day
and the stars by night. Eleven vessels
passed us-onc, a British bark, we are
certain, saw us, and deliberately left us
to our fate. When 300 miles off lIattcras
we were picked up. | can not describe
in words our JOY at the sight of this de-
liVerance. We were so weak that we
had to be lifted upon the vessels deck,
and one of our men-Ed johnson, a
Norwegian-fell overheard and was
drowned" The Earnmoor was largely
owned in Philadelphia.

papers state that complete returns from
the one prefecture of Aichi show that
6S5 people were drowned and III in

and that over a thousand houses
were swept away and thousands
of acres of crops destroyed. In re-

prefectures have been devastated; 2,410
people killed; l55 wounded and over
80, 900 people deprived of means of sub
sistence. More than so. 900 houses have
been swept away or submerged; $50, 900
acres of crops destroyed; about 5000
bridges washed away, and some hun
dreds of miles of road broken up.
