Beos in Church,

Three years ago swarm of bees en-
tered the spire Of the Congregational
church at Magnolia, La. They have
passed three winters there and appear
to be doing well. The church stands
where 1t is exposed to our severe storms
from all directions. The spire is covered
with inch lumber, which is mostly cov-
cred with tin. The cavity occupied
equals ten ordinary hives. The large
cavity does not prevent swarming, as
quite a number of svar1ns have been So
cured by persons living near. Cor.

An Apoie.t Im.x. pisoov,rod,


A valuable archaeological find was
made recently by poor woman, by uame
Jane Honeylow, living . Short distapoe
down the coast from Tuxpan, Mexco.
She was engaged in enlarging her little
garden spot, and with q grubbing hoe was
digging up growth Of weeds and vines,
when coming In contact with something
hard, which she found impossible 10 re-
move, she dug around 1t and found that
object to be an iron boiler suoh as Is used
in ships. It was filled up with earth to
the depth Of foot and more, and this
being taken out large stone was found
tightly wedged in, forming sort Of lid
or stopper.
This was removed with great difficulty,
but beneath was found what was evi-
dently once q book, as heavy leather
covers, fixed with q rusty gold clasp,
showed, though the contents had been
reduced to a mere pulpy mass, which
fell to pieces when taken out. There
were also nearly $500 In Spanish doub-
looms Of the date Of 1897, but tho great
est archaeological treasure was = small
image of the virgin and child In solid
silver, which, when cleaned Of the mold
and tarnish Of time and soil, was found
to be inscribed with Latin dedication
to ono Pietro, with the brotherly love Of
Benvenuto.
That 1t was the work of the great
italian can well be believed, for the
statue is one Of extraordinary besuty. Il
is about nine inches in height and repre-
sents the mother bending over the child
in an attitude Of prayer. How II came
to be hidden here on the Mexican coast
is not easily solved, implying variety
Of adventures, but 1t Is probable that II
was buried there by some Of the Spanish
marauders who visited the coast fro
quently during the Eighteenth century.
and who had probably stolen It from
some church or museum in Europe The
woman who found 1t has already been
offered 81 900 for the image.-Cor. Phil

THE LAFAYETTE MONUMENT.
To Be Shipped Here In About Three
Weeks-The Question of Site.

Secretary Proctor is IN receipt of advices
from the United States legation at Paris to the
effect that the Lafayette monument has been
inspected by Mr.. Franklin Simmons. an Ameri-
can sculptor Of note residing in Rome, and also
by NJ. Henri Taine, the celebrated art critic,
both Of whom are very enthusiastic in their
praises. The statue was to be shipped in
about three weeks from the date Of the letter.
PREPARING THE SITE.
The work on the foundation on the south
side of the square is progressing rather slowly,
owing to difficulties that have been encountered
In the way of soft soil and sewer and gas pipes
that will have to be DETECTED. There is no
doubt. however, that the place will be all ready
for the statue by the time Of its arrival here
IN REGARD TO THE CRITICISMS
that have been made upon the commission for
its selection Of site, Secretary Proctor said
this morning that he was triie surprised that
nothing was said against the site when the COM
mittee made their preliminary announcement
OF the decision, which was printed in The STAR
some weeks before the commission finally
agreed to call the matter decided. This final
decision was partly based on the
seeming public acquiescence in the selection
The Secretary did not favor the southern edge
site unless the Jackson statue could be removed
either to some more suitable place in the square
or else out of it entirely. He says that moth
ing can be done in the way of removal of the
jackson statue without the authority of an act
Of Congress, but he does not think that it lies
within the province Of the commission to ask
for such legislation and he looks to Senator
Evarts, the congressional member of the COM
mission, to see to taking the proper steps for
the passage Of bill to this effect.

THE OPENING STATEMENT FOR THE GOVERNMENT.
The witnesses were excluded from the court
room and Asst. District Attorney Armes made
the opening statement for the government.
He said they expected to show that Cross came
home and said he was going to a theatrical
performance and she objected and followed
him out 1t was said that he was to meet
some other woman and she was jealous. that
she followed him after he had threat
ened if she did SO he would take her
life, and as they walked he continued his
threats and when near the railroad tracks two
trains passed and 1t was then the fatal shot was
fired. He did not know what the defense
would be, but he understood it was to be that

THE JACKSON STATUE.
The Record Shows That the Govern.
ment Paid for It,

Among the objections that have been sug-
gested against the locating of the Lafayette
statue on the southern edge of Lafayette
Square there is one that it necessitates the re-
moval of the statue of Jackson from its present
conspicuous place in the center of the square,
Protests against such action have been made
by Jackson democrats, who claim that the
jackson Association evolved the jackson
Monument Society, and that through the efforts
and financial endeavor of this society the statue
was made and located To remove it would be
arbitrary and wrong; unjust to the original
Jacksonians who invested cash in the artistic
enterprise.
STAR reporter looked for the respective
legal rights of the society and the government
At the first session of the Thirty-second Con-
gress the following was enacted in an appro-
priation act:
For the purpose Of erecting a pedestal in
Lafayette Square for the equestrian statue Of
Andrew Jackson on such plan as may be APP
proved by the artist for that work, $4,000"
AT the second session Of the same Congress
more money was appropriated, as follows: For
the purpose Of completing the pedestal Of the
equestrian statue of Andrew jackson in Lafay-
cite Square and the erection Of a suitable iron
railing around the same, $1,000"
The pedestal being about paid for the gov
eminent then took charge OF the statue and be-
work the following legislation took effect:
That there be placed at the disposal of the
President Of the United States the sum of
S20,0 600, to enable him to compensate Clark
Mills for the erection of an equestrian statue of
Andrew Jackson recently placed upon the
public square in the city of
Washington north Of the Executive
Mansion and to make the same the property
of the United States, and that the said sum be
paid. under the direction Of the President out
Of any money in the Treasury not otherwise
appropriated. when a clear and satisfactory
title shall be vested in the United States; pro-
vided, that the sum Of $l0, 600 thereof be in
vested for the family of said Mills and after his
death be given to such children Of said Mills a.
may survive him."
As that money has been paid over long ago
the presumption is that the government has q

the House on the 18th instant requiring the

after ninety days from the date Of beginning

occupation or purpose, except the minister at
Washington and the consuls at San Francisco
and New York, who were not within its limits
when the census enumeration WAS taken.
