IRISH MONUMENTS

just now there is a movement bOtL
in this country and in Ireland for the
erection of monument in Dublin te
tied in this country to five cents for each
person and in Ireland to penny It is
thought that the monument can be
erected next year, when Irishmen the
world over are expected to visit the old
land in celebration of '98.
In connection with this coming ceie-
bration, writer in the Belfast North
ern Patriot, among other things, says:

Of his last utterance?

LEATHER STOCKINGS CAVE.
such May he the Cavern Found Near
Otsego Lake.

Such May be the Cavern Found Near
OtsegO Lake.
The recent discovery of a new cave
on the east side of Otsego lake, near
Point Judith, or Kingfsher's tower, in
the third ledge of rocks, will prove of
much interest to readers of Cooper's
tales. Just where the Leather Stocking
cave, spoken of by Cooper, is located
has ever been a matter of dispute. 1t
is probable that the new cave practical
ly settles this beyond question. By
close reading of Cooper's books it is
apparent that the described location
tallies exactly with the newly-found
cave. The cave previously known as
Leather Stockings is probably not the
one the writer had in mind. Cooper is
said to have known of the existence of
several caves, and so far only two OF
them have been found, although close
explorations have been made.
The new cave was discovered by Mr..
Salisbury, of Hartwick, while he was
hunting 'coons on the east side of the
lake. One of the animals disappeared
in the rocks and was closely pursued by
the hunters dog. Salisbury carried
hook, which he frequently used when
hunting, and attempted to poke the
coon from the crevice he was supposed
to be in. The loose material covering
the hole gave way, and the dog followed
the animal into the rocks. Salisbury
continued to work at the spot, and soon
succeeded in making a hole large
enough to admit his body. He crawled
into the hole and found himself in
cave large enough for him to stand erect
in. The cave extends into the rock
about 30 feet, and grows larger as it
goes deeper into the rocks. For long
time Mr.. Salisbury kept the discovery a
secret. Finally the knowledge of the
find reached the Fernleigh farm, the
summer residence of the Clarks, and
Mrs. Clark has directed that the stones
and loose earth that block the entrance
be cleared away. This will be done.
The stones that block the entrance to
the cave are so placed as to indicate
that they were laid by human hands.
The discovery has caused much specula-
ton, and is considered of much value
by those interested in Cooper's works
1t adds another place of interest to the
many that already surround the little
village on the shores of the haunted
lake, where even to-day there fingers
the same ghostlike inspirations that
gave the novelist material for his not
faultless but none the less interesting
tales.-N. Y. Times.
