him and put it into his pocket without
examining it further than to glance at
the judge of probate's certificate Of rec

many matters Of greater Importance, he
did not think Of it again until evening.
when he took II out with some other
papers in the Office OF the Mountain

during the day and wood fire was
blazing in the fireplace. Sharpless
singled the deed out Of the bunch Of
papers and thrust it between the logs,
ignoring the summons TO supper until

of the past. A many-handed demon OF
activity had suddenly invaded the peace

battlefield whercon labor pitted Itself

rumbled back and forth with trains o I
building material. Shouting teamsters
guided the plows whose burrows
marked the lines Of new streets or
loosened the soil in nslyancc OF bntfal-
ions of laborers establishing the grade.
Armies Of workmcn wrought miracles
Of handicraft. turning unsightly heaps
OF brick and stone and lumber into
stately buildings which seemed to
spring up out OF the red soil us II by
magic. And into the midst Of the clam
orous turmoil the daily passenger trains
soon began to pour their crowds Of ad'-

OF all the candidates Of the great par-
lies for the presidency Of the United
States who have died, the only grave
unmarked by monument or headstone
is that Of Gen. John c. Fremont. On
broad plateau in Rockland cemetery,
on the Hudson. directly overlooking the
famous Tappan Zee. his body is buried,
and while there nre hundreds Of monu-
Ecnts within stones throw. there 10
aothing but the records OF the ceme-
cry to show the location Of his grave.
When Gen. Fremont died, about seven
years ago. his body was placed in the re-
sewing vault In ROckland cemetery, and
! movement was started to raise funds
Tor monument. For some reason Il
iailed. and his body remained In the
rault Ave years. About two years ago
lit wns removed, and. with imposing
ceremonies, buried where it now lies.
Many distinguished persons were pres.
ent, and It was definitely decided then
10 erect monument.
Designs were submitted by various
artists, and the one finally selected was
= statue Of Gen. Fremont, Of heroic size,
him dressed in the cos
tune OF scout, and standing upon a
huge rock. The cost was to be $40 600
Mrs. Fremont, the widow. approved Of
the design, but practically forbade any
efforts at raising the money by popular
contributions. She deplored the pub
licity that would necessarily follow. Al
attempt wus made to raise the money
| by private subscriptions, but delays fol
lowed. and the monument is no nearer
!. reality now thnn ever.
Gen. Fremont died very poor. The
women of the west raised enough money
to buy a comfortable home for Mrs
Fremont In Los Angeles. CAL. where she
now lives. Although more than 20 year,
old, she is diligently prosecuting what
she terms her LIES work. This is a
suit for many thousand dollars against
the government.
Gen. Fremont owned tract of land
near San Francisco OF about 40 acres
The government desired the ground 70,
military purposes, but Gen. Fremont
would not accept the price II offered
Finally the government took possession
of the land and Gen. Fremont took the
matter to the court of claims. The mat.
ter was allowed to languish until shor,
time before the generals death Their
the government declined to pay for the
land and put In the defense that the
claim was outlawed.
The expectation Of favorable settle
ment of this suit has caused Mrs. Ere
mont to object to any efforts to erect 4
monument to her husband by popular
subscription. In the last letter received
by her friends here upon this subject
Mrs. Fremont said:
II feel that It is my duty to erect tn.
monument to the memory of my deal
husband. The suit which have pushed
go diligently must with all justice b,
decided in my favor. II it is not | may

why SUNDAY IS CHOSEN.


Most Royal Assaasinations Have Oc-
carried on the sabbath.
Sunday seems to be favorite dny for
political assassinations of Europe. The
death OF Canovas on this day recalls the
long list Of rulers who have either met
death or but narrowly escaped it on the
Sabbath at the hands Of ofanarc6ists, COM
inunists or nihiIists. The fact that il,

and give their subjects an opportunity
to look upon and get near them. is per-
haps sufficient explanation.

A STANDING INVITATION.

Women suffering from any form of fe-
male weakness are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only. A woman can freely talk of her
private Illness to a woman; thus has
been established the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women
of America which has never been
broken. Out of the vast volume of ex-
perience which she has to draw from it
is more than possible that she has
gained the very knowledge that will
help your case She asks nothing in
return except your good will, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Surely
any woman, rich or poor, is very fool
