BuNcoED ON "A MONUMENT.
Lincoln Memorial Made of Brick With
u Granite Veneer.
Na,y York Press.

New York Press.
That splendid looking structure in Spring
field, ILL.,, the Lincoln monument, whose
classic outlines are familiar to almost every
patriotic American, because nearly every
American home has picture Of 1T, mue
be torn down. That is the simplest way
out of what appears to have been nasty
bunco game that was played on the
trustees of the Lincoln monument in 1874.
The monument was completed in October
of that year, having cost in the neighbor-
hood of $20s,00O, raised by popular
subscription all over the country. 1t
was supposed to be, of course, of solid
granite, but it proved to be OF brick with
a three-Inch veneer of granite, and decay
rapidly set in. For more than fifteen
years the trustees have been kept busy
patching up the cracks as fast as they
appeared.
At the last session of the legislature
$4,000 was appropriated for repairing
the monument, but the trustees agree
with a commission of interested persons,
who advise tearing it down and building
new one In its place. This viii probably
be done at a cost of $4,000. That por-
tion OF the monument designed for
memorial hall probably will not be rebuilt.
The new monument will be a simple gram
lite obelisk. The members of the old monu-
ment association are all dead. What re-
mains of the work is in Oak Ridge eem-
etery.

FOR THE PACIFIC CABLE
Strong Efforts to Be Made to Push
the Measure.
Project Is an Unpopular One, How
ever, and May Have Con-
siderable Difficulty.

A strong effort viii be made during the
present session of Congress to secure some
favorable legislation looking to the con-
structioo OF cable across the Pacific
Ocean.
1t is not only proposed to bring the
Hawaiian Islands into direct ielegraphic
communication with the United States,
but also Japan. China and the other coun-
tries OF eastern Asia Measures of such
character as would he necessary iu this
instance have sccome very unpopular. and
1t will require a vast amount OF edueaiionai
work TO push legislation of this kind
through both branches OF Congress.
The experience OF tine government in its
partnership with the Pacific railroads,
however, has had the effect OF creating
strong feeling against any more "busi-
ness arrangements" of this SORT Ill Is al
once appa rent, however, that, without
aid from the government such scheme
could not be successfully carried out.
Capitalists could never be induced TO put
their money into IN investment which, at
most. could promise no return for nearly
quarter OF 4 century, and. for long time,
would scarcely pay running expenses.
1 Senator Carter has introduced in the Sen
ate a bill which seems 10 obviate the OBJ
jections against the proposed construction
of a Pacific cable. and which probably
stands a better chance of passage than
any measure of the kind previously intro
duced. Senator Carriers bill proposes to
incorporate the Pacific Cable Company.
which is a corporation OF New York capi-
talists. organized for the purpose OF con-
structing u cable under the Pacific ocean.
The capital stock OF the company is $1,000
900, al paid up, and among the stockholders
are such men as Abram S. Hewitt, Fred
erick Grant, Gen. Swain. of New York, and
James j. Hill. of st. Paul. No money is
asked of the government by this corporation
until the cable is actually In operation,
which must be within period of two years
after the passage of the act. Then small
subsidy is asked for period of twenty
years. The cable would be approximately
2, $50 miles in length and the subsidy
asked is S25 mile. This would amount to
$751; $50 year.

CAT PLAYS WITH a RAT.
Pussy Is Black ard Her Companion
an Albipo.
New York World.

New York World.
In the show window OF a saloon called
the Defender, On the north side of Green
wich street, between Verscy and Fulton
streets, a very interesting performance
tlkes place every day, which is free Of
charge 10 all such as can elbow their
way into the curious crowd that gathers
III the pavement. The performers are
big black cat, with round, yellow eyes, and
q tail like a piece of whipcord.
A white rat is q curiosity enough In itself,
bat when seen in pia yful association with
Il black cat it offers an unusually entertain
ing spectacle. The cat has a very good time,
bIt the rat, it is quite apparent, would
rather be somewhere else.
The performance consists of n series of
graceful gainbo!s, in which the cat pats the
rat with its soft paw, chases 1t about the
window, catches it gently in its mouth, and
otherwise disports itself. The rat being
unable to defend itself, is Obliged to SUBJ
nit, though with a very bad grace. 1t is
plain that il suffers more from terror than
from physical pain, for the cat works
with sheathed claws and is very gentle.
The rat knows by instinct that pussy has
something dangerous hidden away inNtlose
padded paws, and that one crunch with
his-teetb woald make one white rat less.
At times-when tormented to the very limit
Of desperat ton the rat does the only thing
that a defenseless creature can do under
the. circumstances. 1t turns sulleniy at
bay, sits up on its hind legs, and makes a
show Of fighting. There are some who
say they have seen the rat chase the cat
around the window, but this Is not very
likely, H'nless-- indeed. the cat permitted it
in a spirit Of fun.
It is said that a cat will never harm q
white. oE--albino,- rat. and will never go
further than to play with it. Two different
cats have been placed in the window on
Grssi vieh- street. and neither of them has
done the rat any injury.
