THE TENNYsON BEACON.
BY GEORGE H. PARKER.

From an announcement recently
made in the London Times by the
committee having the matter in
charge. it is pleasant to learn that the
proposed Tennyson Beacon will soon
be an accomplished fact. OF the
$1,000 required f750 have already
been contributed by lovers and ad-
mirers of Tennyson in England and
America, and the remainder will
doubtless soon be in hand. A con-
tract has been entered into for the
execution OF the monument in Cornish
granite, which is to take the shape of
an Iona cross, "a feet in height, on
granite pedestal, s feet in height, the
cross itself to be formed of two i'm
mense blocks of granite, now being
quarried.
: The term "beacon" may be some
what misleading, but as Mr.. Douglas
Freshfield in his letter to the Trus
tees states, this use of the word to
denote sea-mark merely, is strictly
within its technical meaning as given
by Mr.. Robert Louis Stevenson in
his PORTRAIT" of his father, when in
note he says the word beacon does
not imply lantern. SIN its techni-
cal sense" according to Stevenson,
"a beacon may be defined as found
ed artificial sea-mark not lighted"
This meaning, however, does not ac-
cord with the common acceptance,
especially as it does not agree with
Tennyson's own use of the term, as
in this stanza of "In Memoriam:"
"Heneeforth. wherever thou mayestro am.
My blessing like line of light
Is on the waters day and night,
And like beacon guides thee home"
Looked at, however, as respecting
the beautiful and noble life of the
greatest of England's modern poets,
his love of the sea, his beautiful
home life at Farringford, and his love
of the past as shown in "Idyls of the
King" The Iona cross, unlighted, and
standing majestically on the summit
of the high down on which for so
many years he daily walked, may
seem especially appropriate. 1t also
harmonizes with the peaceful and
beautiful aspect of the down, whose
beauty and peace he has thus trans
ferred to the pages of In Memoriam:
Calm and deep peace on this high woId.
And on these dews that drench the furze;

spelling a good missionary document

WASHINGTON, Dec. Precisely at z
o'clock yesterday morning the military re-
lay bicycle ride from this city to New York
was begun, when a message from General
Miles, commanding the army, was given
In charge of two members Of the local ma.
tional guard for delivery to army head
quarters at New York. This is said to be
one of tho longest runs of the kind that
has ever been undertaken. According to
schedule the distance is a4g1S miles, and
twenty-three hours is allowed in which to
cover It, This Is the maximum of time
and allows plenty Of margin for improve
ment. The schedule calls for ten relays
between the two points, the shortest OF
which will be sixteen and one-half miles
and the longest thirty-five miles. Twenty
men will BIO used In the ride.

HARRrsBuRG, Dec. 2.--The returns to tho
department of internal affairs OF the steam
railroads operatingIn Pennsylvania show
that 1888 persons were killed and 10,607
injured by them during the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1895. OF those killed 20
were passengers. AL employees, and ,107
other persons. The passengers injured
numbered 812; employees, s,348; other per-
sons, 1,64a. 1t is shown by the returns
that more employees were killed and in
jured in 1898 than in any other year since
the department has been in existence.
This is accounted for by the fact that the
number of employees for that year was
greater than for any other year, To every
432 employees there Is one killed, and to
every 70 one injured. Among passengers
the ratio Is one killed out Of 4, 1926, 71S, and
one injured out of 204,977.

refused by Judge Arnold In the case Of
Holmes, tho convicted murderer Of Benja-
min y. Pitezel, in the court of oyer and
tnr1niner on Saturday, and the prisoner
was sentenced to DO hanged The scene
was an Intensely impressive one. No per-
son in tho COURT room, however, betrayed
less emotion during Holmes ordeal than
the cool, calculating murderer himself.
He had been duly informed by his counsel
what the result was 10 be, and that an APP
peal from the Judgment of the oyer and
terrniner was undoubtedly to BIO taken to
the supreme court.
After Judge Arnold had finished the
reading of his opinion, denying the appli-
cation for new trial, he arose, and with
him the entire assemblage. District At
torney Graham had moved for sentence,
and the court was ut last ready for the or
deal. Then, addressing the prisoner, the
judge, with impressive solemnity, pro-
nounced the death sentence. Governor
