ton and Lafayette Unveiled
in the French City.
The Gift of Joseph Pulitzer In
Honor to France For Revo-
lutionary Help.
Another Bond Cementtng the
Traditional Friendship of
the Two Nations.

PARIS, Dec. 2.-Bright weather shone
upon the ceremony of unwilling the
group of statuary of Washington, and
Lafayette, modelled by the well known
sculptor, Frederick Auguste Bartholdi,
aid presented to the city of Paris by
Joseph Pulitzer, editor of the New
York World.
Mr.. ballard Smith, London CORE
spondent Of the New York World, first
made short speech as Mr.. Pulitzer 8
representative, presenting the group OF
statuary, which was frequently ap-
plauded. Mr.. Smith alluded to the fact
that,it was Mr.. Pulitzer's good fortune
as editor and proprietor of the New
York World to inaugurate the popular
subscription which gave worthy ped
estal to M. Bartholdi's statue Of Liberty
enightening the world in New York
harbor, and. in conclusion, in Mr..
Pulitzer's name, he presented the group
to the city Of Paris
The military band was present and
thereupon played the Marsel1aise.
M. Bombard, vice president Of the
Paris municipal council, in accepting
the gift for the city, briefly reviewed.
the history Of the two men thus repro
duced in bronze and said that
~. Tho Union Of the Flags
under which Washington and Lafayette
stood hand in hand, represented really
the union Of the hearts of the two re-
publics. The band played the American
anthem and Mr. Samuel Morse, United
States consul general, then followed in
an eloquent speech. He briefly touched
upon the events which had enshrined
them in the hearts of Americans till the
two names were alike household words
in every village. g..
even the children" Mr.. Morse con.
'Cinued, "can tell how Lafayette brought
light and hope and help to the strug-
Cling colonists. Republics are some.
times ungrateful but not always"
The speaker dwelt upon Lafayette's
long and finally triumphant battle for
liberty in France and then concluded:
ION behalf of Mr.. Pulitzer and of the
American people, thank Paris for her
gracious welcome to the Offering, whose
purpose is to testify in lasting form to
the homage in which Americans hold
Lafayette and to illustrate again the
grateful affection with which we regard
the people of our sister republic.

IN THE HYaMS MURDER CASE.
Testimony Put In by the rown I'm Relation
e. tbe Elevator Weight

Testimony Put In by the rown In Relation
e. tbe Elevator Weight
Toronto, Nov. 12.-In the Hyams trial
this morning the testimony OF John
Gait. civil and mechanical engineer,
was largely OF a technical nature and
had direct bearing on the crowned
contention as to how Wells was killed.
The defense claims that Wells met
his death by the elevator weight falling
on him while in the act OF looking up
the shaft. TO see what obstruction was
interrupting the working of the weights
The crown is trying to prove by Mr..
Galt's evidence that Wells. IN order 10
look up the shaft, must have been at
least two and half feet from the ele-
vafor casing. where the weight could
not strike him.
The defense scored a victory when
Judge Ferguson ruled out the evidence
which the prosecution tried 20 intro
duce relative to the Hyams brothers IN
surfing the life of Martha Wells for $780,
600. The prisoners were greatly reliev-
ed when the judge ruled In favor OF the
defense
B. b. Osier has asked that IN the event
of the acquittal OF the prisoners he be
granted a reserve case with a view 10
the question can be heard by higher
court The defense objected to this
on account Of the long imprisonment To
which the Hyamses have already been
subjected and also on technical grounds
The judge is considering Osleris re-
quest
Henry Kidd was put on the stand this
afternoon and told about building a
plate for the Hyams warehouse for the
purpose OF changing the elevator
weight He believed the elevator was
safe when he finished this work
Albert Fryer, carpenter, repaired the
elevator and spoke about the projection
IN the shaft. On which the defense
claims the weight caught. These pro-
Jecticns. he said. were nails. number
of which he drew out with a hammer.
The prosecution here ridicuies the idea
that projection which he knocked off
with hammer could interfere with
descending weight OF 200 pounds.
William Roberts swore that he sheet
ed the weight box from the basement
floor to the ceiling and said that no one
could touch the weight without first
tearing off the casing. This casing was
off at the time Wells was killed in the
warehouse, but how IL came of the wit
ness could not understand.

A MINIATURE SEA.
An Artificial Lake with Waves Like the
Ocean.


Out in southwestern Utah there Is an
irrigating reservoir covering SO large
an area in the open sandy desert that
the wind has a sweep sufficient to raise
waves five or six feet high. About
eight miles OF the border of this rsser-
voir is an artificial bank, and unless n
method of keeping the waves of this
bank were adopted the owners of the
property would some day find that
most of the stored water had escaped
through crevasse.
To provide the necessary protection
an inexpensive breakwater was con-
structed, which was recently Described
by ". p. Hardesty in an article on the

banks is one foot rise in a horizontal

Maher Won't Challenge Corbett.

New York, Nov. t2.-J. j. Quinn, the
manager of Peter Maher, who knocked out
O'Donnell so readily last night, made a
statement in behalf Of the fighter. He
said:
''Maher challenges any man in the world
to fight for the championship, and he VIII
not put the stakes so high that no one
except man with 1900 600 acres behind
him can accept Maher viii fight for
$500 a side, in public or private, and he
viii go any place TO do battle, South
Africa, not barred.
Peter claims that he has as much right
to the title of champion as any one man,
and he is particularly anxious to meet
Fftzsimmons.'
Quinn said that Maher would not chal-
ienge Corbett because Corbett had asked
him as a, personal favor not to do SO, as
he had retired.
Maher goes to Philadelphia to visit
friends and will then be ready to meet
adj corners. The Irish champion is but
IS years Of age and weighed 10 pounds on
the night of the fight.
