be held in our beautiful capital during the
century year.
The suggestion has so impressed me and
all others with whom have spoken, either
| in Washington or at home, that I cannot
repress adding word thereupon.
1T is glorious conception, that each state
OF the Union shall, in 1900, have erected a
permanent building, which shall forever
stand fitting reflection of the dignity and
prosperity of the respective common
wealths, at the same time affording a rally
ing point in the national city for the visit
Ing citizens from each state.
But besides being a mere memorial, such
an editice would find many practical uses.
To mention only few of them:
There could be In each building a dis
tincuvely state library for the numerous
official documents and the other literature
which pertain especially to the respective
states.
This library could, if you will, be an ac-
cessory to the national library, which might
thus be saved the burden of care for much
matter particular in character.
To the reading room of such library
doubtless all the state journals would free
ly and constantly send copies of their pub
locations. Each institution and business in
tereSt would also send such current publ
cations as appertained thereto.
The building could provide halls for the
meetings of state representations, head
quarters for the state press, accommoda-
tons for state exhibits, a women'S section,
OiiNeS iOI the state senators ana repre-
sentatives, and rooms for visitors from the
respective states in which, among Others
those who come to Washington for the day
could find place of rest and personal in
terest.
AS to the buildings, ] would suggest that
they might, as far possible, be built of
materials, in each case from the state rep
resented, and l should further suggest that
the original design be generously conceived
so that in time the structure might be en-
larSed in answer to growing demands.
As to partial support, at least, of such a
building, box for voluntary contributions
would not be fruitleSs.
/ feel confident (and others share the
opiniom that this grand project can be
brought to a brilliant contamination, and
WHO cannot but know that, carried out, it
will form a most excellent object lesson
for fostering both a laudable state and a
patriotic national pride.
All speed to the effort, which must con-
duce to the magnificent solidarity of our
great republic. VIM. p. BAYLOR.

The decision of Judge Showaiter in a re-
cent case that came up before him sus-
tains the claims of the Royal Company to
the exclusive use OF the name Royal as
a trademark for its baking powder. The
special importance of this decision consists
In the protection which it assures to mil

ACCIDENT AT LoCks's MILLS.
ONE HORSE KILLED BY A TRAIN, AND
THE DRIVER INJURED.
JoCKE's Mills Ian. 2.

LOCKE's MILLS, Jan. "a.
When the express came up this fore
noon, John Brown Of East Bethel, who
was unloading poplar in the yard, hear
ing no whistle and not knowing the train
was approaching, started his team over
the crossing. The train struck his team,
ipjuring one Of the horses so he had to
be killed. The sled was demolished and
Mr.. Brown was caught by the foot uu-
der one Of the drive wheels, and drag
ged from the crossing up 10 front Of the
depot. He was taken up and put on
board the train and tsken to Bethel,
where his wounds were dressed, aud it
is reported tonight that there are no
bones broken and the physicians think
there are some hopes Of recovery. A
was sent to East Bethel as
soon as the accident happened, to tell
his wife and mother. One horse escaped
without injury.
