MONUMENT TO FIELD.
Public Sentiment In Favor of a Memorial
 to the Chi1dren's Laureate.

Everybody says, Let the children build monument in memory of their poet, Eugene Field. There is but one opinion. Artists, educators, teachers, men and women of letters and of affairs ill general are unanimous in support of the idea. The children, too, have taken up the project with as much enthusiasm as they would if they had conceived it themselves. Hundreds of little ones whom Eugene Field first introduced to the fairyland of poetry are putting their candy money ill little tin banks, J so that they may have share in the memorial when it is built.
 It is the general opinion that the memorial, whether tablet, statue or monument, should be placed in park, and Lincoln park, Chicago, is favored.
 Harriet Hosmer, the gifted artist whose genius adorned the Illinois state building during the exposition, has sev- eral ideas i'll mind.
 Now If l were to suggest right off, hand, , she said q would say some thing like this: First. nothing i'll mere portraitnre, nothing like bust or ex- act representation. Something ideal is what we want--something poetic. If it is to be a large statue, it would be sym bolic to have child guiding his pen, or if it were to be smaller a child writ ing the name Eugene Field on stone or laying a laurel wreath upon his name think the finest thing would be to have life size figure of the poet sit ting ill a chair--a chair supported by the winged muses. Have him sitting i'll an attitude of deep thought. as if wait ing for all inspiration, and little child at his knee touching his pen. And have it in bronze. = Chicago Recnrd

pacK Dy tno way oT the Santa Fe rail way. My parliamentary duties closed in September, and as the season in Europe had ended l ran over here to see that part of the British dominion which I had not seen before-Canada.
 The first thousand miles westward -I mean that vast tract of woods and rocks and water that seems to feed the great lakes-you found uninteresting? 1 suppose it is of little value. ' Thus spoke the interviewer
 No, indeed" said MT. Stanley, who seems to have been again discoverer in that part of Canada. That rugged woodland country north of the lakes seemed to mo to offer sites for millions of homes. The ideal of busy business man would be to summer in place more congenial than the near neighbor- hood of the city, to live ill a grove be- side lake and to satiate his eyes with beautiful prospect of water, wood and rock. Consider W hat money has been able to make of Monte Carlo. In its neighborhood you may see any number of places that show what it was. Yet it has been made q most complete place. Up there ill Canada man may have a lake of his own. Sir William Van Horne says there are thousands of them not pools, but winding lakes of crys- tai water, swarming with fish, where you may enjoy fishing and hunting amid the most perfect settings of wood and rock. The region is quite accessible to your leading cities From Ohio to New York your people may reach there in ten hours at the latest. Your tired busi- ness. men, rowing and casting their eyes about, could not find q more delightful region on the globe
 What do you find to be our progress in railroading?"
 "There, said MT. Stanley, showing that had opened fruitful topic. AS to your yaunted Pullman carriages, they need further improvement. For one stateroom there are often six applicants, and not being able to secure q stateroom five men are obliged to put up with what is only an improved aecommoda- tion car, where they hear crying babies, are pestered all the time by trainboys and remain dissatisfied because they cannot get what they wanted and have not a moment tc themselves. Then, again, do think that institution, the American conductor, might be replaced by politer kind of man. He need not, when he comes into the door of well furnished Pullman, put on that stern air and forbidding appearance, because 1t is very unlikely that ill such car among we'll dressed passengers there is anybody who will need to be forcibly ejected It is possible that these big railway corporations may find more courtly persons for conductors, but you'll keep begging away. Every ad- yanced nation is stodgy as 8 whole, but there are always individuals rising up who modify that stodginess and improve the country ill spite of everything. noticed the growth of the many cities very steady, the aspiring houses, the architecture. Ah, the architecture-that is what I have been wondering at say that if you go on during the next 100
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1895-11-20

years i'll the same way as in the past 30, constantly improving, wing with one another i'll producing these costly struc- tures and completing your ideas of architectural art, people will be swarm ing over here from Europe to wonder at your buildings in the same manner that you Americans have been swarming over to Europe. Europe is at stand still i'll these things. What surprises you over there are the wonders of the past-the antique and mediaval-but what will surprise Europe will be the audacity of the modern age as exempli- fled ill your grand buildings.
 Aren't you shocked at some of our skyscrapers that look like chimneys, all punctured with holes for windows?"
 'tOh, nop said this broad gauged citizen of the world. ''They don t shock me because I think there is great deal of common sense in the building of tall structures. The great apprehension was that you could not raise these immense buildings without constant danger from fire, but by putting in steel frames and making the rest of the material fire- proof, and with the convenienees of lifts and so on and electric communication, there is no fear that the prodigious height of your buildings will interfere with the safety of their occupants ''- Julian Ralph ill New York Journal

NEW IDEA FOR WOMEN.
Mrs. Cotton Wants Government Recogni
 ton For Her Sex.

Mrs. Cotton Wants Government Recogni-
 tion For Her Sex.
 A new idea was advocated before the Federation of Woman's Clubs at At lanta few days since. Mrs. Sallie Southall Cotton of North Carolin one of the brainiest women ill the congress, put forth the idea and championed it in a strong speech.
 She spoke for the recognition of wom- en by the government in some such sub- stantial way as men are recognized in the schools at West Point and Annapo- lis. Of course she did not want to make soldiers and sailors out of the women, but she wanted to make them relatively as useful to their sex and their country in some capacity suited to their talents, and she wanted the government to pro- vide for them to be trained.
 The idea is one that has not been ad- yocated to any extent, and, put forward in the strong manner i'll which Mrs. Cotton presented it, it created wide in- terest.
 Mrs. Cotton is native of Virginia She moved to North Carolina very early She married Robert R. Cotton of Tar boro, N. Q. She is the mother of six children and was the lady manager of the World s fair for North Carolina. She lives on farm, is devoted to domestic duties and is not all advocate of woman suffrage.

A Baby Crusade.

A novel crusade is proposed by some women ill Brooklyn. It is to be directed against the practice some mothers and nurses have of leaving their babies in baby carriages in the street outside big stores while they are inside shopping. The crusaders are moved to act by sev- eral considerations. First and foremost of these is the fact that the exposure and the neglect are bad for the babies Then the babies interfere with traffic by col lecting crowds. Lastly the reformers think that such treatment of infants has bad effect morally on the children and their mothers.-New York Sun

Consnlatian.

 Oh, don't be discouraged though borne to de- feat
 Upon the cold wave of the desolate tide, It always must happen that some shall be beat While others in grandeur to victory ride. I've been there myself, and know how it feels To sense the cold chill of an awful despair When late in the evening the ballot reveals You're left while your heartless opponent is 'sthere." I know how the morning once dawned on my grief
 To think he should win after all had said. called him liar, rogue and thief, And after election took to my bed. The sun will shine on as it ever has done, The moonbeams disperse the dark shadows of night. Cheer up my good friend. You're not weep ing alone
 Just think of the many who lost in the fight Be glad, if you can, for the fellows who won; Rejoice in the joy of their prosperous trip. You did all you could, made an elegant run, So now in defeat keep stiff upper lip.

BOWLING cRANEs STILL AT IT
Chesterfield Furnishes a Surprise
in the Edinger Tourney
Stevens Wins.

The baseball season in Greenville was
formally opened on Saturday afternoon,
when the grounds of the Puritan Ath-
letic Club were crowded to the utmost to
ser the home team play its first game
against the strong Brooklyn Field Club.
The weather was all that could be de-
sired and fully one-half of the large
crowd that thronged the grounds was
. composed of member of the fair sex.
kThe grand stand was full to overlooking,
ind those who were unable to secure a
feat there formed a wall along the foul
lines. The small boy was there, of course,
and mons enjoyed the sharp plays more
than he.A The Puritans furnished a sur
prise when they put Chesterfield in the

Lefty Hhrhardt would be pitted against
the crack Brooklyn aggregation, but Ehr-

and it was demonstrated later in the
game, when Ehrhardt was put in the
box, that the team is materially weak

behind the bat Ehrhardt could pitch an
A No. L game. For the first six innings,
with Chesterfield in the box, the Puritans
put up a good exhibition of team work.
They played with a snap that meant
victory. In the seventh inning they were
in the lead by a score of 9 to 8, and it
was decided to give Ehrhardt a chance
in the box. 1t was a fatal mistake and
cost the Puritans the game. Ehrhardt
was wild and the pounding he received
rattled the other players. TIL Brooklyn
lads continued to pound the sphere until
seven runs were brought in and the game
was theirs. OF the W teams Brooklyn
played the better. Kelly at second base
was the only weak man. Hangar. the
catcher, put up a game the like of which
is seldom seen in amateur ranks. His
throws to second base were as good as
those of any professional player. Fol-
