Good Prospects of Erecting One at Cum
berland Gap.
MIDDLEsBoRo, KY, March 4.-The
prospect of erecting the monument on
the pinnacle of Cumberland Gap seems
quite good. Work will begin in the
early spring. A park will be made on
the summit Of this noted moutain, and
in this park will be erected the monu-
ment which is to look down ON the three
great states of Kentucky, Tennessee and
Virginia, and commemorate the peace
long since made between the sections
north and south. Through the influence
of the Sixteenth Ohio volunteer in
fantry, the Ohio legislature has appro-
priated 81 800 to this enterprise. Sena-
tors Brice and Sherman are working in
the interest of the movement. This
scheme originated during the soldiers
reunion held in Middlesboro last Sep
tember. At that meeting it was decided
to raise $40, 900 for this work, and trus-
tees and committees were appointed to
carry out the plans. Elk. .Confederates
and federals are working earnestly to-
gether to carry forward this great move
ment. These who are in a position to
know say that it will be great success.

NEW York, March S.--Darwin J.
Meserole was received into membership
in Plymouth church, Brooklyn, Sunday,
upon the usual profession of faith, with
score Of other persons. Some severe
criticism of the Rev. Dr. Lyman Abb
bolts position in regard to Meserole was
published in a newspaper Sunday.
DR.. Abbott read the criticism Sunday
night and then made this reply:
'sWhat have said is that in the evi-
dence in the case and oninquiry made of
some disinterested parties who were
present at the trial I believe that Mr..
Meserole's shooting was not only excus-
able, but was by every consideration OF
manhood demanded.
sThat statement was based ON the
fact that the undisputed evidence in the
case showed that a woman was beii.g
beaten to death before Meserole's eyes;
that Meseroles remonstrances We're lln-
availing, and when he shot it was only
to defend the woman who had fed to
s-nrotection.

Rumor That He viii Soon Withdraw

NEW YORK, March A Washing
ton special says:
William G.. Whitney put in an ap-
pearance at the Capitol Wednesday
afternoon. He did not make himself
unduly conspicuous, but before he had
been on the ground ten minutes, he was
in consultation with Senator Carlisle.
A few minutes later Senator Hill was
called into the conference. A note was
then sent over to the house, and in
another fifteen minutes the three
politicians were vending their way, at
the invitation of Speaker Crisp, to the
speakers room, where Tom Murray had
been directed to serve one of his most
delectable lunches.
Messrs. Whitney, Hill, Carlisle and
Crisp remained in the speakers room
for an hour in strictly executive session,
and at the close of the conference the
ex-secretary departed from the Capitol
as unobtrusively as he came. Demo-
cratic leaders were left to conjecture
the significance OF the conference.

the throne, that we are going to have

to patch up truce if possible"
Mr.. Whitney is understood to have
been the bearer Of a message from Mr..
Cleveland with reference to the ex-
presidents intentions, and there was an
apparent inspired report at the Capitol
Wednesday afternoon that in a short
time Mr.. Cleveland will publicly an
nounce his withdrawal from the race,
at the same time issuing a manifesto do
fning his attitude on the silver and
tariff. Mr.. Cleveland is also expected
to repudiate the MAY convention.

THE czAR AND THE KAISER.


The Two Hot Headed Ionarchs Want to
Pnlverize Each other.
LONDON. March 9.-The st. Peters
burg correspondent of The Standard re-
counts, under reserve, a startling story
in connection with the surprising speech
made by the Emperor of Germany at the
banquet at Brandenburg, which caused
SO much adverse criticism, not only in
Germany, where certain editions of sew
eral newspapers containing unfavorable
comments were seized on the charge of
lese majestic, but throughout the whole
of Europe.
The Standards correspondent, in his
dispatch to the paper, says the agent
Loman, who was present at the Bran
denburg banquet when Emperor Will
lam. made his memorable speech, re-
marked to the emperor:
Your majesty should not forget Rus
sia.
TO this remark Emperor William is
said to have retorted:
II will pulyerize Russia"
The correspondent adds that when
General Count Won Schuvaloff, the Rus
this remarkable utterance, and upon in
heard was true, he Immediately ac-
quainted NJ. DeGiers, the Russian min
lister of foreign affairs, with the facts in
in the case, who repeated the remarks
of Emperor William to the czar. The
czar then summoned to his presence
General Won Schweintz. the German
ambassador at st. Petersburg, and after
recounting to him the statement made
| by M. DeGiers, said:
"Tell your emperor that when he
wants to begin pulyerizing will throw
half million men across the frontier
with the greatest of pleasure"
The rumors of the kaiser's sympathy
with the Poles has rendered the czar
especially bitter against him of late.

War ON sparrows.

CHICAGO, March Last fall coun-
ty two-cent bounty law for English
sparrow heads was passed by the Illinois
legislature. 1t provided for the pay
ment by county clerks of two cents per
head during the months of December,
January and February Of each year.
The returns are just in for the last
term, and with the county reports
comes the naive information that EN-
glish sparrows are as plenty as ever"
The law cost the state ST., 1854 for its 101
counties, which meant that 642, 200
sparroWs were killed.

The first thing that a Caucasus
baby is given for a plaything is a
dagger. This is presented to him
as soon as he can walk. For an
hour or two, each day, his mother
spends her time teaching him how
to use the weapon, so that he will
some day become an expert. He
is taught to stab water, SO that it
makes no splash, and made to hurl
his dagger at a mark, again and
again, until be cannot miss his
aim.,
And all this is done during the
time that other boys are spinning
tops and Studying a spelling book.
When the Caucasian boy grows
up, he knows just one thing-:--how
to use a dagger; while civilized
boys know Well, sometimes they

Ingredients Of a Cigarette.

Professor ]. M. Latin, the athlete

ssThink for a moment. There are
five ingredients in every cigarette,
each one of which is calculated to
destroy human life. First, there is
the nicotine or the oil of tobacco
next, the oil in imported paper,
which is nearly as destructive;
third, the arsenic introduced to
make the paper burn white and
add peculiar flavor; fourth, the
saltpetre put in the tobacco to
prevent it from moulding, and
finally the opium that is sprayed
on tobacco to give it that insidious
influence with it possesses over the
brain. Can you wonder that the
animal life of a young man is
killed by such a mixture? In the
