x0O I0De Resting E1oco q - 080o0
American Pulpit Orator.
Many strangers from . distance.
representing all nationalties. visit Mr..
Beecher's grave at Greenwood Gene
terry even in the cold wintry days. A
Sunday or two ago a large number OF
the great preachers admirers were
present and examined the plain but
solidly-built New Hampshire granite
tombstone which marks the last rest
ing place OF the great American pulpit
orator. A keeper is present every
afternoon and several Of them on Sum
days to prevent people from coming
down the cmbankment which leads to
the grave, in order that the grass may
not be trodden. Visitors come In car
riages and on foot and many beautiful,
fragrant flowers are deposited
ON the still green mound un-
der which Brooklyn's loved citt-
zen SO peacefully sleeps. Some OF the
women shed tears as they leave the
plot and many endearing words are ut
tered. such a. a gentleman remarked
the other day to his wife while placing
some red roses and violets on the
grave: MY dear, here rests one OF the
intellectual giants OF tho nineteenth
century," Another udmirer-a woman
-exclaims: God be praised for Mr.
Beecher's teachings" Remarks re-
garding his goodness to. all races may
frequently be heard by those who
linger at this now sacred shrine. On
the tombstone is chiseled:

In . long article on the reorganizar
tion OF the German artillery the
Deutsche Heeres Zeitung makes an
interesting comparison. The French
artillery" il says. ''has ten thousand
more horses than the German artillery
in time of peace. Its officers aro
numerically superior. A longer time
OF active service enables the French
artillerymen to acquire q more COM
plete instruction. The French possess
a shrapnel similar to that of the Ger.
mans. and they have q powder that ex-
plodes almost without noise and with
out smoke. The secret Of this powder
is dificult to get at, because it rests in
the method Of its manufacture and not
In the composition Of its substance.
Finally. the ballistic qualities Of the
French cannon render 1t superior to
the German cannon. The French mate
rial is heavier than the German, and,
although the horses are more numer-
Gus. the German horses are more
vigorous"

HENRY WARD BEECHER
Born June 81, 1873.
Died March 9, 1881.
s.He thinketh no evil"

The last line was suggested to MrA
Beecher by Miss Francis f. Willard.
the famous reformer and temperance
orator, while in the White mountains
a few summers ago. as an inscription
to he placed on his tombstone. and
Mrs. Beccher complied with Miss Will
lard's request. The grave OF Mr..
Beccher Is to the left of the monu-
ment, leaving room tor Mrs. Beecher
10 be placed along side Of her devoted
companion. The plot is neatly kept,
but no trees are on it. and substan.
tial fence, with granite side posts, sur
rounds it, and a zinc bench stands di-
rectly in front of the gate on the path
for visitors. The grave is never with
out flowers. and the keeper states that
no grave is more sought for than Mr..
Beecher's, and that people at the en-
trance of the cemetery never complain
that they are compelled to walk
through the entire cemetery to
reach it. The Bcecher plot is
on an elevation, and overlOoky
the quaint Dutch village Of Flatbush.
and the plot wherein repose the re-
mains of the first wife and eldest son
and namesake of DR.. T. Dewitt Tall
mage is close by it. only few rods
away. Thus the two famous preachers
Of Brooklyn will rest near each other
in Greenwood until the dawning of tho
resurrection morning. People natur.
ally drift from Mr.. Beccher's grave
over to the Talmage plot The ground
surrounding Mr.. Bee hers grave has
become exceedingly valuable now. and
commands an enormous price. and
leading members of Plymouth Church
have secured every inch Of it for their
last resting places. DR.. David Abecl.
the eminent missionary to China, lies
close BY to Mr. Beecher. and so do DR..

railways or telegraphy. Of course what
ever was to be done In the way Of

done BY the means OF horse-Aesh. II
must also be borne In mind that Glas-

report OF the meeting held in Glasgow
on Friday night, was in that town BY
six o'clock on the Monday morning
following, thus accomplishing eight
hundred miles In little over dfty hours.

composing six columns Of matter.
Here was an apparent impossibility;
