rible disaster of December 30,
1876, when the Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern railroad bridge, just east OF
the station in Ashtabula, sank be-
meath heavily-laden passenger
train and carried hundreds of persons
to death in the abyss, 81 feet below the
track level. The idea of erecting a
monument to the memory of those
who died on that awful night origin
ated in the Knights of Pythias lodge,
and committee of the members
brought it out before the people. 1t
took three years to raise the amount of
money needed. The Lake Shore road
gave 5000. The monument is of New
Hampshire granite and built in obelisk
style. 1t is 80 feet in height and occu-
pies conspicuous location in the GEM
etery, where it can be seen miles away.
On one side of the base appear the
names of twenty-five persons who were
known to have persisted in the wreck,
and whose remains were presumably
picked up, but could not possibly be
identified. They are as follows: P. P.
Bliss and wife, Mrs. Unworthy, Mrs
W. L. Moore, Clara Thayer, Martha
Smith, Charlotte Smith, Emma Coffin
Matte Drummer, Mary Burchard, Louise
Brainard, Lottie Drummer, Mary Pack.
ard, Jonathan Rice, G. B. Stone, ID. NJ
Holbridge, Harry M. Drummer, A. Fl.
Stoclwell, John R. Campbell, Harry
Wagner, j. Fl. Aldrich, S. ii. Merrill,
Charles E. Drummer, Phillip McNeal
and G. w. Kepler. The last named
was a resident of Ashtabula, and all
that was ever found of him was his
watch. His widow still lives in that
city. On another side appear the
names of the members of the commit
tee. The front inscription reads: "To
the memory of the unrecognized dead
of the Ashtabula bridge disaster,
whose remains are buried here" On
the fourth side are the dates of the dis
aster and theunveiling.

money. The rules of the game were
all right, because those were works of
genius and are as elastic as the atmos-
phere, but the hitch came right in the
pack, because Pharaoh l., of course,
didn't know anything about poker, and
he is believed to have been the first
man who ever correctly called turn.
Some benefcent spirit has improved
the pack of tifty-two cards, which made
it rather difficult sometimes for six men
to play. He has dilated it into pack
OF sixty cards, SO that eight good poker
players and true may indulge in their
bent to the destruction of their for
tunes or the repletion of their stock of
good temper.

GETTING A NAVY CHEAPlY.
Cash and Certain Monopolies offered by
Portugal to shipbuilders.

Portugal to Shipbuilders.
OF all strange proposals made lately
to the builders of ships the strangest is
that of Portugal, which desires TO have
a modern navy, but desires to get it on
the lowest possible terms, says the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat. The govern
ment intends to ask shipbuilders how
many vessels of a stated type they will
supply annually for tw enty years or
less for an annual payment of about
five hundred and ffty-fve thousand
dollars, plus certain advantages in the
way of monopolies. American, Brit
ish, French and German builders of
the first class are to be asked to bid,
and the successful tenderer will be
that firm giving the most in the least
time and for the shortest period OF
monopoly. First, yard is to be built
at Lisbon and the government ship
building plant closed. The new firm
will get the machinery and also the
staff and operatives. Nothing is said
about foreign workmen, but, since the
government hopes to educate the peo-
pie in shipbuilding, it expects native
labor to be employed. Machinery, ma
terial and fuel will be admitted to the
establishment free of duty.
The new plant will have a monopoly
of repairing work, not only in Portugal,
but also in her colonies, Azores, Cape
de Verde and Angola, no other new
establishments being permitted, al
though existing small works will con-
tinue. The new vessels which it is
hoped to get for the annual payment of
five hundred and fifty-fve thousand
dollars are all of rather unusual con-
struction. The cruisers are 70 be of
wood and copper sheathed, of forty-two
hundred tons displacement, twenty
three knots speed, with protective
deck and steaming radius of ten thou
sand miles at ten knots. The now
famous japanese cruiser Yoshino is re-
garded as pattern of the desired type.
Then there are to be ten torpedo boat
destroyers of the type of the speedy
Havock, which are to be able to make
twenty-eight knots, and steam four
thousand miles at ten knots; ten first
class torpedo boats of seventy tons and
OF the greatest speed possible; several
colonial gunboats of two hundred and
tons and river gunboats of
forty tons. This seems a pretty good
navy for about eleven million two hun
dred thousand dollars, but perhaps
some of the companies will End that
the twenty-year use of well-located
shipyard with modern tools is an in
ducement worth considering

an eleven, has an additional spot IN the
center, and TO become twelve spot
there is given the card three parallel
rows of four spots. 1t is a novelty of
the newest kind, and now there will be
no longer any unsociableness about
the game.
Just think that under this improved
condition of things eight of you may
have your cards dealt you, and there are
twenty still in the pack to choose from.

AN INDEPENDENT WOMAN.

She Belongs to an Old Family and the
"Smart Set Doesn't Trouble Her.
Perhaps, from social point of view,
one of the most comfortably self-satis-
fed persons in the world is the New

erently called one of the 'frumps" by
the smart Set" says the New York
Tribune.
The members of this smart set well
come new people without hesitation,
always providing that the newcomers
are rich, up-to-date, and have the neces-
sary tact and savoir faire to adopt the
shibboleths of the set. The genuine
old New Yorker is, however, very con-
sentative, and the opinions of the afore-
said set trouble her but little, for her
position, she feels, is founded on rock,
and though storms may beat and waves
break against the structure, il is, she
believes, as secure as anything can be
IN this mortal life. She is also apt to
be very independent, and if her income
is small has no fear of public opinion
in carrying out her economies. She will

Gave the Wrong Prizes.

One day last week Patrick O'Fin-
nerty, an itinerant cigar vender, was
arrested and brought before Commits
sioner Shields for selling his wares from
a box that did not bear revenue stahp.
When the revenue officer had finished
his testimony O'F'innerty cross-ex-
amined him.
Can you swear that those were
cigars that 1 was selling"" he asked.
Certainly" was the reply.
What is a cigar?" asked O'Finnerty.
"Why, tobacco, of course, done into a
roll for smoking purposes"
well, then, you've made out mighty
weak case against me-" exclaimed 0Fin-
nerty, ''for the rolls that l was selling
We're made of cabbage leaves"
One of the alleged cigars was there
upon cut open and an expert who was
called in to examine it declared that,
while he was not sure that it was made
of cabage, he felt justified in swearing
that it was not tobacco. O'Finnerty
had given away small picture with
each cigar. In discharging him from
custody, Commissioner Shields said:
You are a bright young fellow
O'Finnerty, but think you are not con-
sistent in) throwing in a picture with
each cigar. Corned beef would be more
appropriate. Tobacco.
