of the local confederate camp that there
will be $4,000 confederates in line, and
it is hoped to have as many New York
state troops, detachments from the
army, and distinguished eX-union vet
Grams. 1t is believed that the occasion
will do much to strengthen the bond of
fellowship and good feeling between
the north and the south.
The ceremonies at the cemetery when
the confederate Monument is unveiled
are to be of an elaborate nature. There
are to be speeches by some of the most
prominent orators, which is likely to in
clude both DR.. Depew and Col. Robert G..
Ingersoll, and leading officers of both
armies.
The monument will be the tallest
shaft in any cemetery in the vicinity of
New York. 1t will be nearly 60 feet
high, the shaft alone being AZ feet high,
and cut from one piece ofgranite. The
bottom stone weighs 20 tons, and the
three stones in the monument weigh
100000 pounds. At the base it is IL
feet square. There will be bronze
shield caressed by laurel wreath on
the face of the pedestal. On this shield
will be an appropriate inscription.

The Costliest Bug on Record.

Secretary Morton was showing a re-
porter through the chronological bu-
rcau the other day, and this is part OF
what the reporter says he said: "I'vegot
a bug in there that cost the government
$4,000; he don't look it, but he did.
It's fact. One day an outfit of scien-
lists started in pursuit or this bug.
They ranged all over the hemisphere
and stuck to his trail like bloodhounds;
they ransacked North America all the
way from the isthmus to Alaska. After
the most remarkable adventures by
flood and field, they freed their bug
and took him prisoner He was then
brought captive to Washington, and
he's right there now in that brick
house, the highest-priced bug on earth.
\ roundup of the total expense of that
one bug hunt came to over 100000. But
we got the bug"

The Pennsylvania Senator VIII Not Seek
to BE Reelected.
Senator James Donald Cameron's an
nouncement of his voluntary with
drawal from public life at the close of
his present term was considerable of a
surprise to the country, though, as his
letter to State Senator McCarrell, of
Harrisburg, Pa, indicates, it was not
the result of sudden or newly formed
impulse "You will remember" he
writes to Mr.. McCarrell, that in a
conversation Mt my home in Harris
burg, just after my election TO the sem
ate, told you, as well as many other
friends, that under no circumstances
would / again be candidate for reelec-
ton. Since then nothing has occurred
to change my mind" No doubt these
are the exact facts, and it is reason
ably certain that if he had changed his
mind he would be reelected if his party

cided that Conlin was the senior. He
became chief inspector on the retire
ment Of Inspector Steers October 1,
1902, and held that office until it was
abolished in February, 1893. From that
time until May 81 of this year he had
charge of the third inspection district.
Then he was detailed as acting chief
Of police, succeeding Chief Byrnes, who
was retired. "IIe deserved the promo
tion," observed President Roosevelt, of
the board of police commissioners,
commenting on the event. IL have
watched him carefully for five months
and he has proved himself efficient and
has done his duty we'll" The examina-
ton for the promotion was rigid one,
and though Mr.. Conlin had no compel
itors for the position, he was required
to, establish high standard to succeed.
The subjects of the examination were
police regulations, ordinances of the
city, laws of the state and military
tactics. The questions were presented
in printed form and the answers given
in writing. After the examination,
which occupied five hours, the commits
sioners held a meeting and made up
the rating. 1t was announced that he
attained 93.03 per cent, 60 per cent. Of
which was allowed for record and
seniority and 33.03 per cent. for the
written answers. One of the answers
has excited n deal of comment. Asked
what disposition he would make Of
troops called out to preserve order in
case of n general street car strike, sup
posing the center OF the disturbance
was at stated point, Mr.. Conlin an
swered categorically all the points and
added, "only grape and canister to be
used" This is construed as Indicating
n very severe method of dealing with
strikers and is variously condemned
and approved accordingly as the peo-
pie look upon the subject. Mr.. Conlin
was born in New York in 1871. In 1861
he enlisted in the 18th regiment and
with that command participated in the
battles Of Williamsburg, Fair Oaks,
Gaines Mill, White Oak Sw amp and
Malvern Hill. In that engagement he
was seriously wounded and subse-
Guently honorably discharged. Upon.
recovery from his wounds he recntered
the army as lieutenant in the Goth regi-
ment Of the illustrious Irish brigade,
and served until the close of hostilities.
He is hall brother of the late famous
actor, w. j. Florence, popularity known
among his admirers as BILLY" Florence.

went to Europe, and spent some time in
travel, after which he took law course
at Harvard and was admitted to prac-
tice in 1884. His first active participa-
ton in politics was as a member of the
committee of 100, which led the indie
pendent movement for Cleveland against
Blaine in 1884. In 1885 he was elected
to the lower house of the MaSsachu-
sets Legislature as a democrat and
served for three years, declining the
fourth nomination in order to make an
unsuccessful fight for congress against
Elijah A.. Morse in a strong republican
district. In 1889 he was again sent to
the legislature and was reelected in 1890.
That year he became secretary of the
democratic state committee, the next
year chairman of the executive COM
mittee, and in 1892 he served as chair
man of the full state committee, con-
Quoting a canvass of exceptional
strength. In 1892 he was a delegate to
the democratic national convention, and
was chosen by his colleagues to repre-
sent the state on the national commit
tee. He was subsequently made mem
Der of the executive committee of that
body and chairman of the committee on
campaign literature. After the inaug-
uration of Cleveland in'1S93 Mr.. Quincy
was rendered the position of assistant
secretary of state, which he at first de-
clined, but when it was shown to him
that his acceptance would crafty the
president and serve the party he yielded
so far as to enter the Office temporarily
for the purpose of reorganizing the
consular service on the line of ideas en-
tertained in common by President Cleve-
land and himself. This object having
been achieved at the end of six months,
he resigned and turned his attention to
business and professional interests. He
is largely interested in two important
suburban electric railways.
