Are the works of the best modernlit-
erary artists improved by illustration?
Can an artist with his brush or pen
add anything to the well-developed
characterization Of our successful nov
elists2 In other words, Is not the liter
airy art of master amply sufficient to
portray to the appreciative, intelligent
reader all in his book that Is charm
ing or thrilling or pathetic or humor-
Gus? 1 believe that itis, and also that
it is literary crime for the average
illustrator to inject an unsympathetic
personality into the pages of a great
work Of fiction, Of whose creative forces
he can know no more than the reader.
Some of this sort of Illustration Is
amazingly clever, but most of it Is just
the opposite. To distinguish the pic
torial opportunity In book manu-
script is a work requiring rare discre-
ton, and too many aof our Illustrators
with the approval of the publisher, take
their cue for picture from some such

The Monument for washington's Birth
piace.
Colonel Wilson, of the corps of engi-
neers, who has special charge of the
work at marking the birthplace of
Washington, at Wakefield, Westmore-
land county. Va, has received a letter
from Mr.. William Crawford of Buffalo,
who was awarded the contract for the
erection of a monument, in accordance
with the design approved by the Score
tary Of State, stating that he expects to
complete the work before the close of
the present calendar year. His plan Is
to transport the monolith and the other
stones forming the monument from
Buffalo to Wakefield, on the Potomac,
entirely by water, in time for delivery
about the first of September. The
route will be through the Welland ca
nal, down the st. Lawrence river, by
sea to Chesapeake Bay, thence up the
Potomac river to Pope's Creek, where
the stone will be disembarked and cart
ed to the spot selected as the site of the
monument. This method of transpor-
tation is chosen because of the greater
difficulty of overland transportation Of
the monolith, which is a solid stone,
weighing thirty-five tons. Colonel Will
son says that while the contract does
not require the completion OF the mon
ument until July 1, 1896, he is confident,
barring accidents, that the entire work
will be finished before the first Of Janu-
airy next.--Washington Star.

The Short Changers Set to Work to Cover
Up Their Contracts.


New York, June 1.-THE government
crop report for June was more favora-
Bile than generally expected in view of
the sensational rumors set afloat dur
ing the past few weeks by the bulls on
wheat, and accordingly the shorts in
the grangers set diligently at work
to cover UP contracts put out
on the stories of serious damage to the
crop. This was the main reason for
the strength Of the stock market to-
day, but in addition there were other
factors at work. The advances in wag-
es announced daily by the leading man.
ufacturers Of the country and the steady
rise in the prices for iron and steel pro-
ducts also stimulated purchases of Sc
curities.
The features of speculation, however,
were the grangers, and of these Bur-
