Before this was done, however, a number Of
other locations were considered and each in
turn rejected. 1t was proposed to remove the
Peace monument and place the new conner
there, but this did not satisfy. The White
House grounds, the location to the south
OF the White House, the big ellipse, the
corner In front Of the War, State and
Navy Department, q corner Of the Lafay-
cite Park and the central part Of the west side
were all discussed and all rejected in favor Of
the center of the south side Of the park. As
soon 40 this location was fixed upon work was
begun and the appropriation for the purpose
was soon nearly exhausted in the erection Of q
suitable pedestal. But the pedestal will never
have an occupant. in its present location at any
rate. There it stands, though, In full view Of
the passing multitude, seeming to offer q mute
appeal for some one to do something with it.
Something will be done with it in all proba-
bility, and that right soon. It will be moved
Before the statue could be placed upon it
Senator Bate introduced resolution that was
agreed to by Congress calling q halt in the
proceedings and the commission accepted the
suggestion. They regarded it as mandatory
upon them. and at once the necessity Of look
ing for o new site arose.

The king pin of thieves is the bank burglar.
Out Of the ranks of general and special thieves
there will blossom forth one who is better than
his fellows in intelligence, courage and mechan-
ical skill. and a number Of these congenial

ways depending on the surroundings II there
is a Waterman, he is either bribed, drugged,
killed or got out OF the way by strategy Rooms
are often hired adjoining the bank, and q
restaurant or shoe store opened. This gives
chance to dig through the walls without sus-
picion. The habits of all connected with the
bank are carefully studied, and friendly inter-
course established, if possible. The site
of the vault, the safe maker, the
kind of lock and the manner OF getting
into the safe are all known beforehand, 30
that when the thief gets into bank with his
s'kit' there il no delay. The time selected to
''crnck" a safe is generally between Saturday
night and Monday morning

soUARE-ADvANTAaEs OF THE SITE SOUTH OF
THE TREAsURY-A PROMINENT POSITION ron
THE ARTISTIC GROUP.
1t begins to look as il the bronze counterpart
Of Lafayette and his statuesque attendants
would find a resting place at last and would
have "A chance to show themselves in all their
glory to attract the attention and admiration Of
the passerby. Ever since their rather inglorious
arrival in this city, unlike the various arrivals
of the eminent marquis himself in the different
cities OF this country when he took his historic
trip some years ago, the bronze parts which
wien pieced and joined will make the long ex-
pected and much talked about Lafayette statue
have remained in their original packages stored
away some where around the Senate
stables. They have been here some time.
but there has been no place to erect
the group. At length, however, the
commission having in charge the selection of a
site have fixed their minds upon one that they
Whether 1t will or not is a matter that remains
to be seen. At any rate IL is not tho first site
they selected. That was in Lafayette Square
At the first thought IL would seem that
Lafayette's statue ought to be placed in
the beautiful park that has so long
uoeH huoWu Wy nia uouc' Sus uuiot tuhatciy LUZ
that plan the first choice OF locations in the
park had already been pre-empted by an earlier
applicant for monumental honors and host at
once appeared who insisted upon it that an
American statue of such good American gen-
eral as jackson should never be removed to
make room for Erenchman's statue of q
French officer, even though that officer was a
true and tried friend to this country In the
hour of her most pressing need. Not that they
loved Lafayette the less, perhaps, but that they
loved Jackson more, or else were believers in
the American rule of first come first served.
And so the commission, which is composed OF
Secretary Window, Senator Evarts and Mr..
Clark the architect OF the Capitol, decided to
erect the new statue az o sort OF side show to
the old one, and site was chosen directly TO
the south OF Clark Mills big man on horse

seen him in THE STAR Office, and was sure that
the man whom she saw in Berlin was Harry
Adams. :
With this exception no information wa ever
leaned that would In the slightest degree assist
in revealing his whereabouts.
BELLE pRowS's CASE.
The case Of Belle Brown was entirely differ
ent from the cases stated.
This young girl, it will be remembered, left
her home one morning and started, al her
parents thought. TO attend school, but instead
OF doing SO she wrote q note and mailed il to
her parents telling them that whom they re-
ceived II her body would be stiff and cold In
the river" For some days her parents would
believe nothing but that the girl was dead
that SHE had committed suicide--but so many
persons said they had seen a girl answering
her description that her father, after
searching the river shores, started cut of the
city to search for her. Private Detective Nc
Dewitt also made an investigation. but the
whereabouts of the girl was not discovered for
some days. The stewardess on one of the Nor
folk steamers gave u minute description of 4
girl who went on the steamer to Norfolk, and
II was so good description of the missing girl
that her father went to Norfolk to look for her.
Not long after that the girl was found in
Now York and returned home.
A CASE IN WHICH MURDER WAS COMMITTED.
The Carpenter case ives another one which
remained mystery for many weeks. Carpenter
was colored man who lived with his wife In
East Washington. He was employed at busi-
ness house down town, and his employer
received what purported to be note in Car
penter's handwriting, and the writing was an
excellent imitation. The note was to tho effect
that the purported writer had gone and would
not return for months. Time wore on and the
house in which the woman lived was sold. The
wife had an interest in the property and prob
ably got her part of the money out Of the SALE
The house after the sale underwent repairs and
sickening stencil attracted the workmen's
attention, and to their horror they discovered
that the stencil came from the dead body of
the w0mans husband. Thus the mystery was
cleared away and it turned out that she muir
dered her husband.

How to preserve the voice and
keep it presumably fresh is almost
like asking how to keep from grow
ing old. Some people grow faster
than others because they are impru-
dent and do not take care of them
selves. The voice should not be
imposed upon, and instead of grow
ing husky IN a decade it should re-
main comparatively fresh for two
and even four decades. PATHS
voice is a fine example of one that
has never been imposed upon,
never been forced to sing six nights
in a week, and once at a matinee.
A grand opera singer should sing
only twice week, perhaps three
times if his or her physical condition
warrants it. Singers should have
plenty of sleep, good appetites,
nothing to make them nervous,
and, if possible, a more or less
phlegmatic disposition. The latter
they rarely possess to any degree.
Over work is death to the voice.
A singer will not notice at first
the inroads that gradually undetar.
niue voice and leave it in an echo
of its former sweetness.-Uampan,
lni, in Ladies' Home Journal.

THE ENEMY In CAMP

The Enemy is in Camp as Tues
DAYS Election showed The Re-
publican party must do its duty
or else the "Ship of State" will
float to Obstruction. There are
all kinds of coujectures why the
democratic party was so victorious
on Tuesday. The people are an
CRY; they want the negro protected
Ia the south; they wanted a feder-
al election bill passed; they wanted
the Blair educational bill passed;
instead of the people getting pro-
tecnon they got rebuke; instead
of getting an educational bill they
got a rebuke. In return for the
tardiness of a Republican House
and Senate the people gave "meas-
ure for measure" Senator Quays
opposition to the Federal Election
Bill was one of the causes for re-
publican disafection. Some men
may think that they know it all
and by some of their uuwise acts
defeat good purpose. The south
comes up with a solid democratic
delegation, with a good represen-
tation from the the North, East
and West. Last Tuesdays cleo
tion has completely demoralized
tee party leaders. McKinleys de-
feat will deprive the House Of an

A NOBLE REVENGE.

The very clever operetta enti-
tied GA Noble Revenge" written
by Miss Anna M. Savoy, was re-
peated in st. Augustine church
hall last Wednesday and Thurs
day evenings to a large and appre-
ciative audience. The partici-
pants were young Misses and
Masters who acquitted themselves
we'll. The leading character was
Miss Sarah Green, as Annie; a
nobIeman's daughter; Miss Green
has very soft and sweet voice
and she sang well. Miss Thad-
dems Grimes, as Tizipgui, a gyp-
sy prophecies; was one of the
principal features of the operetta.
She is a beautiful young miss
about IA summers old. She
knew her business aud played her
part well. Miss Eve Cornell and
Gertrude Stanton in the duett
as mattresses was highly applaud
ed also was the singing of Miss
Bertie Cornell.
The expression of the audience
or those who witnt ssed the first
performance Of this operetta did
not seem to appreciate the change
in the operetta, but on a whole It
was we'll received.
