Who Are They ?

From the Newton Republican.
From remarks that were heard at the
Republican league and from the tone of
the press of the Republican party it is
the time now for that party to present
sponge and some soap to several men
who have made themselves conspicuous
at all times in the party's congregations,
and to say a long farewell to them.

A TINY ELEPHANT.

Lili Is Three Feet High and Weighs Only
 Seventy Pounds.
 There is a man in Berlin who has an elephant on his hands. This state ment would generally convey the idea of the possession of an undisposable burden the care of which brings the owner to his wits end. In the case of the Berlin gentleman, however, who is the proprietor of what is known as the Castan panopticon, it implies no such thing He has indeed literally an elephant on his hands, but it is in the shape of phenomenally small specimen of the elephas indicus.
 The general conception of the h. dian mammoth is one of bulky, pom derous hugeness, but the attraction in the panopticon of Germany's capital is distinguished by his, or rather her, ex- traordinary dwarfish dimensions. Lili, as the dainty little beast is called, is the smallest full-grown elephant in the world. Her height does not ex-

MARY WASHINGTON.
Ladies About to Erect Monu-
 ment Over Her Grave.
Model of the Dignified Design Placed on Exhibition at the Columbian Expo sition - A Severely Classic
 Memorial.

The ladies of the National Mary Washington Memorial association have an abiding faith in the country and sincerely believe that the women of America will provide sufficient funds to meet the cost of the monument which is shortly to be erected over the long-neglected grave of George Wash ington's mother at Fredericksburg, Va.
 In view of this, says the New York Herald, they have awarded contract for beautiful memorial to the firm of John Crawford & Son, of Buffalo, who have prepared model, which is now on exhibition in the Woman's building of the Worlds Columbian exposition in Chicago.
 The memorial is simple, dignified and severely classic in design. It is mon- olith, the most ancient form of mon- ument, and undoubtedly the most ap- propriate for the character of the woman oyer whom it is to be reared. It will be constructed of Vermont granite, the shaft forty feet in height, supported by a base ten feet in height, giving an extreme elevation of fifty feet. As it will rest upon the rising ground it is destined to be the most conspicuous object in the landscape in and about Fredericksburg.
 In selecting the memorial the ladies of the association have not been un- mindful of the character of Mary Washington. To many of the ladies of the association the severe simplicity of the shaft has been disappointment. Their fancy and taste had suggested an exquisite structure of pure Italian marble, enriched by elaborate carving of the master sculptors of the country.
 Reflection, however, will convince the friends of the association of the wisdom of the selection. A marble monument, with symbolic carving and delicate tracery, was projected for the grave a half century ago. A portion of it was erected, and this is now mass of clipped and disintegrated stones. Fine works of art in stone re- quire large sums of money, not only for their creation but for their preser- vation.
 As Mrs. Roger A. Pryor, the inde- fatigable vice president of the associa-
Arizona republican., 1893-07-26

PROPOSED MONUMENT AT MARY WASH
 IyGToN's GRAVE. tion, has pointed out, Mary Washing ton was a simple Virginia housewife of sterling character. She was con spicuous for simplicity and had an aversion for anything smacking of eulogy, adulation or extravaganza. She was plain woman of the people, strong in her faith and her integrity. These qualities appealed to Lafayette, who said: "In her only of all women lives the Roman matron of modern days"
 Respect for her character and opin- ions influenced the association in se- lecting the simple form of memorial upon which the Messrs. Crawford are now engaged.
 The path of the association has not been one strewn with roses. Unfriend- ly critics have censured the work; some the simplicity of the memorial, others its cost, while others still have complained of the delay and 'desul- tory fashion" in which they claim the work has been carried forward.
 To all such the association returns but one reply, embodying these points: That the fund has been slow of ac- emulation, and that the simple shaft over the ashes of the mother of Wash ington is in accordance with her char acter and the ability of the associa- ton. If there has been delay in erect .- IL. all delay in building the great Washing ton monument, delay over Gen. Grants tomb, and scores of others?
 No cause is dearer to the ladies of the association than the completion of the work in hand. To that end they are devoting whatever they can com mand of time, thought, energy and pa tience. They now believe that the eX- hibition of the model at the worlds fair will result in crowning the efforts of years and succeed in securing ample funds for all needs.
 Among the methods which the ladies will pursue to secure money will be the establishment of life memberships. The payment of S25 will entitle per son to life membership privileges and a silver medal, while for $35 the associ- ation will provide gold medal. The medal is five-pointed star with bas- relief of the head of Mary Washington in the middle, the initials of the asso- citation in blue and white enamel on the points of the obverse side, and the Washington coat-of-arms on the re- verse.

ceed three feet and her miniature pro- plants are noted for their enormous weight. In the marshy region of h. dia their trail is easily followed on ac- count of the large, deep tracks they leave behind them, and their strongest weapons of defense are their immense feet, with which they destroy their enemies by treading upon them and crushing them. But Lii weighs only seventy pounds and her tread would not affect a corn as much as that of the dudish strap-hang- CT whose equilibrium has been dis turbed by the sudden jerk of green gripman. Recently Karl Hagenbeck brought this geological curiosity from Sumatra, and since its arrival in Der lin it has been honored by thousands of visitors and has become the es- pecial pet of ladies and children. The average elephant devours when in good health more than one hundred pounds of food day. Lili's three meals daily, which consist mainly of boiled rice and carrots, weigh alto gether four pounds. She is docile and much attached to her keeper, acts in all respects like other elephants, and in her pranks and intimacies with the patrons of the institution where she is on exhibition she displays the charac- teristic sagacity of her species. Judg- ing from the way Lii has helped to 41 f.. I. f late it is evident that the latter is not anxious to be without an elephant or his hands.
