THE STATUE.
"THE SrATuE.-As far as can be detected
or seen ia in perfect condition, except the
discoloration due TO the action of the rain.
snow, and atmospheric air upon tho
bronze. Tho material Of which the statue
IL made consists of mixture Of copper.
tin, and few other ingredients. When
first cast this metal has bright,
metallic look. yellowish in color and
exceedingly offensive to the artistic
sight. The. methods employed to do
away with this metallic lustre are various.
but the one most used is to wash the
statue with some, preparation. There are
a great many of these. one called the
antique" which IS considered very
beautiful. but which only retains its char
acteTistic shade when protected from the
weather.
CAUSE OF DIscoLoRATroS.
IL is the washing of of the material,
combined with the action of rain, snow,
air, etc. on the metal which has created
this variation in color.
Further. at the Joints of the legs the
pins which fastened the joints have taken
ON color quite in contrast with the
rest. These variations and sharp con-
trasts IN color at present create an in-
artistic appearance. but do not indi-
cate any deterioration or defect of struc-
ture. ] have consulted with MANY persons
upon this subject notably the Threbaut
freres. the founders who cast the statue
originally IN Paris; the BonQard Bronze
Company, of New York; Professor Moyni-
han, now aresident of Richmond, formerly
a member of the Royal Academy Of Lon
don. and tho universal recommendation il
70 let the statue alone and time will slowly
adjust the colors.
SUGGESTION.
Il would suggest that those interested
who NAV visit Washington examine the
Lafayette Monument there. where they
can observe the same thing gong on with
that statue.
" | have always taken the greatest in

pedestals to have statues Of heroic size of
six OF the most famous generals OF the Con-
federacy. IL ~ worthy of great credit how

TO0MANY TRANSFERS
PROPOSED CAR CHANGES MANcHEs-
TER PEOPLE 90 NOT LIKE.
A Number of Deaths and Funerals -
Church, Personal, aud Other
Items OF Interest.

Several weeks ago, when the DISPATCH an
nounced the fact that the Richmond and
Manchester Railway Company would
change hands and would likely be abb
sorbed by the Richmond Railway and
Electric Company. it was the occasion OF
considerable comment. IL was thought
by some that the service would be i'm
proved. while others were of the opinion
that the company thus acquiring q mono
poly would treat the people just as they
felt disposed.
When the deal was made last Monday
President George L. Fisher told DISPATCH
reporter that the service would certainly
be greatly improved. aud that the people
OF Manchester would have no reason on
earth to complain.
One of the first things done by the new
management in the way OF Improvement
was to take O car of tho Hull-Street line
and establish system of transfers st Nor
rissette's store. in Swansboro'. The line
mad been running titteen-minute
schedule. The transfer-car between Nor
rlssette's and the park makes two trips an
hour. and the same fifteen minute schedule
IS run over the rest of the line. Swans
boro' people are complaining about this.
1t was reported yesterday that, beginning
with To-Day. two more cars would be taken
from Hull street and that another transfer
station would DO established at Perry
street. Superintendent Seldcn said last
night that the change would be made
during the present week. but said he did
not know the date.
The Perry-Street line will run through
from the park to Richmond. A twenty
minutes schedule Is now IN effect on this
line. The above change will virtually put
twenty minutes schedule in effect over
the entire system, except through Swans
boro' and on Hull street. When the new
arrangement goes into effect a Swansboro'
passenger will have to make two transfers
IN order TO get TO Richmond.
The franchise OF the company says q
reasonable schedule must DO run. IL is
rumored that the Council at Its next meet
ing will consider whether or not three cars
an hour Is q reasonable schedule.
The conductor was taken off the Swans
boro' car yesterday afternoon. Whether
this IL permanent move in the line of
economy could not be learned last night.
ms Mr.. Craigle. the only officer of the road
that the DISPATCH reporter succeeded in
seeing, knew nothing about the arrange
ment. All of these transfers and changes
will cause confusion on the part OK the
travelling public at first. but If they re-
suit IN improving the street-car service in
Manchester as that in Richmond has been
improved in the last few years. everybody
Will be pleased. And this Is the expressed
purpose of the management.

ITYMS OF INTERFsr.

Swansboro' people are very anxious that
the county should take steps to have sew
eral water-plugs put up III the most thick
ly-populated sections. The fire at Mr..
Jones's place clearly demonstrated the
necessity of at least few hre-pugs and a
good supply of hose. The Manchester
Water Company's Hull-street main ex-
tends to Clopton street. but there IS no
fire-plug beyond the corporate limits.
There will DO q meeting of the Vest End
Building Fund Association this evening at
$3.50 o'clockat West-End Methodist Episco-
pal church. An interesting programme OF
exercises has been arranged and addresses
