RATTLE ABBEYIS WASHINGTON


The magnificent offer of Mr.. Charles
Broadway Rouss to the people OF tie South
OF half-mliiion dollars for u Battle Alb
hey of the South, provided the people Of
the Southern States raise an equal amount
and upon the further condition that the
building be located ut the National Cap
ital, will no doubt awaken great enthusi-
asin i'll that section. II is supplementary to,
or a substitute for, Mr.. Rouss' first offer of
100000 for such memorial in some
Southern city. which caused great activity
and competition. Quite encouraging re-
ports were made yesterday on the. subject
to the Confederate Veterans reunion in
Richmond, but the new proposition, OF
course, put new face upon the matter.
The munificeuce of Mr.. Rouss' latest offer
puts the case in an entirely different light.
There are two features OF this proposition
that cannot fail to impress themselves upon
the people of the South. A million dollars
would give them memorial of more tnan
sectional Importance, and its Location at
the National Capital would give it world
wide fame and reputation. IL would be ac-
counted among the great architectural
structures OF tue world, and its historical
value would be vastly enhanced. There
is yet another point To be considered-senti-
mental, perhaps, but yet possibly in Mr..
Rouss' mind IN making tis offer. By pro-
posing TO locate tie Battle Abbey in Wash
iugtun lie seems TO Indicate a desire to ma
tionaiize the heroism of the cause for which
il is To stand-the bravery and fortitude and
self-sacrifIce of the men who fought for
what they deemed right vaior OF Ameri-
can manhood. In Richmond, or New o.
leans or Atlanta it would always remain
a mere sectional feature; in this city 1t
would be national.
Battle Abbey would be desirable add-
tion to the historical! structures of the
capital. Sooner or later something like it
will be erected Here to commemorate the
cause of the Union. There would then be
| Battle Abbey of the North and Battle
Abbey OF the South. and both coming gen.
erati"ns would pay tribute to American
yaIor.

HELP FOR THE PITTSTON UN-

Tie awful mine disaster at Pittston, Pa.

their lives lightly. The miner, especially
the coal miner, faces death almost every
minute. 1t is a blessing that daily habit
it were not SO NO man could work in
those mines and keep his reason.
The Pittston catastrophe is among the
worst of its kind. Equity miners were
engaged making repairs 10 strengthen the
roof of the mine when the very thing
happened against which they were trying
to guard. Not one lived to tell the tale;
what is worst of all, it is almost certain
that the bodies can never be reached.
and tile widows and orphans or parents
of tue unfortunate miners will never iuOS
upon their forms again, nor have the poor
f. consolation of giving them proper burial.
1t is with these near ones and dear ones
OF the perished miners that the public has
ton that the majority OF the entombed
men We're married and had large families.
1t is estimated that the sudden taking off
of these eighty wage earners has left no
less than between three and four hundred
persons without means OF support, and an
appeal for help has been issued to the hu-
name of every section of the country. That
it will be fruitful to the fullest measure
of the necessities of the case is NOT tn he
questioned for a moment. The unspeak-
able grief OF the widows and orphans cannot
be assuaged, but they can at least be pro-
tected against want for some time to come.

LAYS IT TO THE BRITISH.
A Fredericksburg Man Thinks Eng
land RESPONSIBLE for G OldSta udard


Editor Times: As your paper has large
circulation in our city. and as one or more
columns are used daily by the Goldites in
advocacy of their views. stating that there
must be no radical CHANGE would like
for them TO explain through your columns
Why that radical change was made in
1873. when the silver dollar was then the
unit OF value, and was worth a premium,
and why its coinage was dropped and the
gold dollar made the unit? This was done
so ciandestinely, under the head of revising
the coinage laws, that President Grant
himself, though he signed the bill was not
aware of the fact until several months
afterward. when an order was sent to the
mint to resume the coinage of silver dol
lars; then his attention was called to the
fact that the silver dollar for the future
was sdemonetized by this great fraud. which
was said TO have been accomplished by the
use of British gold. Now, as our country
was the first to demOnetiZe silver, which
has led to such disastrous results. and then
only ether countries We're led to follow in
our Footsteps, now let this country fake
the lead in rectifying that great wrong
done the civilized world. then many other
countries that are now becoming rest
less will gladly follow our good example,
and when the uprising of the people be-
gins in other countries. rs it has here. then
England will be forced to succumb and
adopt bimetallism.
I fully agree with the very candid sa ying
OF Mr.. Paris, one OF your prominent
bankers. Lnat Il don't believe the earth
will cease to revolve If silver should he
admitted to free coinage business would
move along in about the same old lines'
There Is no doubt at all but that the
Democrats will declare for free silver, and
that lit will be a square fight In the
language OF Mr.. Edison. and II base my
faith on the good common sense and ability
OF the people to decide the question: ~ as
he does. IENEX

Edward Rice Has Narrow Escape
From Deuth

From Death.
Edward Rice. a well-known resident OF
Capitol Hill. is receiving today the con-
gratulatioDs of his friends On his marvellous
escape from horrible death. Mr.. Rice
resides on street southeast, opposite the
Congressional Library.
Last night, while he and Mrs. Rice were
waiting for a car gong west, at the corner
OF Second street and Pennsylvania avenue
lie stepped into drug store to get cigar,
telling his wife to stop the cable train,
which was in sight, and thathe would catch
it. Mrs. Rice did as directed, and was
on the trailer as the train started. Her hus-
band ran from the store to Join her. He
weighs probably 25O pounds, and conse-
queDtiy cannot run very fast.
The cars were moving swiftly when he
reached them. He grasped side bar with
both hands. but his feet slipped on the
dashboard and he was being dragged. when
he relinquisbed his hold and fell near the
inside track. as another train was passing,
both gripmeD working frantically ON the
brakes to stop the cars.
Although dragged several yards, he re-
tanned his presence OF mind cIinging to the
dashboard, and keeping his body clear of
the cars going east. When the cars were
stopped and conductors and passengers
rushed to his rescue. he was found 10 be
but slightly injured.
1t was terrible time for his wife
She neither screamed nor tainted, but sat
still and implored her husba nd to hold on,
which he did.
Mr. Rice exonerated the conductor from
all blame, saying it was his own fault and
that the next time he caught car 1t
would be from the outside track, when
it was standing still

denly crawled into u hole. pulled in the hole
after them and left Chief of Police Moore
to face the music of fiIecrackers according
TO his best Judgment and in accordance
with ordinances already made and provided.
AS the regulation in question empowers that
official TO issue permits for exploding fire
works on private premises and on public
streets and thoroughfares. and as Major
Moore will hardly care to subject himself
TO the task of issuing something like ii hun

gest that he put an end To Ike agony by

1t is easily possible for a
