A TARDY MEMORIAL.
MONUMENT TO MARY WASHINGTON
TO BE DEDICATED AT LAST.

To the Noble and Patriotic Women of
America We Owe the Completion of the
Work Begun During Jackson's Admins
f~ration-The Approaching Dedication.
The generous women of America have
reason to congratulate themselves on
having settled at last u national indebt-
edness of as great importance in its way
as any of which the payment Is secured
by our government bonds, and one with
al of much longer standing than those
guaranteed by interest bearing securities.
The obligation had long been recog-
nized, but settlement had been deferred,
possibly because it is generally easier to
admit o sentimental liability than it Is
tomeetit, and this indebtedness, it should
be said, was one of pure sentiment. In
brief it was the obligation our nation was
under to prove by some enduring me-
mortal its appreciation of and reverence
for the character and virtues of one Of
our most exalted country women-Mary,
the mother of Washington.
AS long ago as go years back the peo-
pie realized their duty in this matter. and
in response to the sentiment of the time
congress made an appropriation for p
monument to mark the last resting place
of this noble woman. Andrew Jackson,
then president Of the United States, In
1888 laid the cornerstone of what was de-
signed to be a beautiful and lasting tes-

VIII Not Recognize MelIo.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Secretary
Gresham has received a dispatch from
Minister Thompson at Rio Janeiro that
he had received a circular from Admiral
Mello, the insurgent leader, asking that
the United States recognize his rights as
a belligerent. Minister Thompson asked
for instructions. After a conference be-
tween Secretary Gresham and the presi-
dent, our minister was instructed to say
to Admiral Mello that in the opinion of
this government he had not been able to
establish either a political or military or
ganization which entitled him to the
recognition he asked, and that it would
not be granted.

Litigation Growing Out of the Mead Muir
der Cases Settled Out of Court.
WAUPACA, Wis, Nov. ia sur
prise was sprung upon the people of
Waupaca county when w. G.. Williams,
attorney for Edoll E. Gordon, stated in
open court that the defense in the Lea
Gordon suit desired to withdraw their
amended answer charging A. r. Lea
with a guilty knowledge of the Mead
murder; that there had been an agree
ment to settle and drop all proceedings,
provided it met the courts approval.
District Attorney Goldberg stated that
with the consent of the court he desired
to withdraw the criminal case against
A. r. Lea, as well as the civil case that
had grown out of prior litigation In this
court. This was not agreed to by
John l.. Sturtevant, the victim
in the assault and battery case,
but Judge Webb remarked that he
thought it due to public justice that this
case be dismissed with the others and
for the welfare of the people further pro,
ceedings should come to an end. This,
it is understood. wipes everything off the
court calendar that has grown out of the
Mead murder mystery. A great relief
will certainly be felt by the people o.
this community, who have been torn W
so long over the affair that it seemed Sc
happy an ending as that of today could
never be accomplished, and it is due te
the friends of all concerned that it ha.
been brought about.

DAVID PECK TODD. Will locate on the
northeast OF the southwest coast of the
island depends on the general weather
conditions. To ascertain these, some OBJ
servations were begun at two stations
on those coasts last July and continued
through August, and during the same
months of 1894 and 1896 the same plan
will be followed, thus enabling the pro-
fessor to decide which Of the two points
offers the best facilities for observations.
The trip of 1896 will be Professor
Todd's second visit to Japan for the pur-
pose of making observations of an eclipse
and his fifth expedition for astronomical
research. He went to Japan in 1887 to
see the eclipse of the sun and to Africa
in 1889 for the same purpose. He had
charge Of the expedition which the gov
eminent sent to Texas to observe the
eclipse of 1878 and directed the observa-
tons of the transit of Venus at the Lick
observatory in 1882.
Theprofessor expects to take an unusu-
ally great number Of instruments with
him to Japan, among them about 40 tele-
scopes, with object glasses varying in
size from / to 10 inches. He has also an
automatic photographing apparatus, by
which he hopes OBSCURE between 500 and
600 photographs of the suns corona at
different stages of the eclipse. This ap-
paratus makes it possible to employ 16
spectroscopes at once, which will record
the composition of the light of the coro-
ma in as many different regions. 1t is
the professors own invention and was
tried successfully in the African expedi-
ton of 1889.
All of the instruments for the next ex-
petition will be of the finest possible
make. The plans for them are now be-
ing prepared, and it isnone too early, for
they have to be manufactured and care
fully tested before being transported to
their destination, and it will involve no
little labor to set them up and test them
over again after they are got there. There
will be meteorologists, naturalists and
other scientific men in the observation
party, SO that all the scientific research
of the expedition will not be confined to
the astronomical members.

the practical utility. There had been
computing machines before his time, of
which the ancient abacus, which. still
survives among the Chinese, was the
most primitive. There have been add
ing. s~ubtracting, multiplying and divid-
ing machines invented since, and various
others combining the principles of two
or more of these. Then there have been
machines for calculating the tides,
eclipses and other abstruse almanacical
data involving muchlaborious computa-
ton, and even a logical machine, which,
being fed with premises, will grind out
syllogisms.
But these were generally machines of
such a complex character or of such
meager limitations as to be practically
worthless to the commercial world,
which wanted something that would add
up long ledger columns correctly and
set the totals down, thereby saving time,
patience and mental strain. Especially
did the English commercial world cry
out for such a machine, for the labor OF
computing columns of pounds. shillings

on the decimal system.
Well, the Englishmen got their ma

them. It looks something like a type

same principle, but its internal mechan-
ism is more complex. BY pressing down
the keys any amount from 81 ,0O0, 00(

The assessments, for the grading of
