nArTLE OF LAkn GEoRGE.
a Memorial to BE Dedicated on the
143d Anniversary.


143d Anniversary.
From the Springfield (NIass.) Republican.
The New York Society of Colonial Wars
now has another monument to erect. Gov.
Black has signed a bill appropriating So
900 to buy for the state the land upon
which the battle of Lake George was
fought, Sept. s, 1855, and there the society
will build a forty-foot memorial and ded-
icate it with patriotic ceremony on Sept.
S, 1898, the 14Sd anniversary of the event.
Massachusetts, Connecticut and New
Hampshire have abundant reason to be in
terested in such a monument. Israel Put
nam, John Stark and Seth Pomeroy were
in that battle, and it was there that Col
Ephraim Williams, the founder of WIZ
liams College, lost his life The troops
under Gen. William Johnson, consisting
of from 5000 to 5000 men, were almost
wholly from Massachusetts, Connecticut
and New Hampshire, although the battle
was on New York soil, and its effect was
to preserve New York for the time to the
British crown and English civilization
johnson, for his victory over Baron Dies
kau, received a baronetcy and $1,000; but
he shirked duty by retiring from the field
with a slight wound early in the engage
ment, while the real organizer of victory
was the Connecticut yankee, Gen. Phineas
Lyman.
In its effects upon the great struggle
between England and France for suprem-
acy in America, the battle of Lake
George was not momentous occasion. 1t
cannot be said to have been a very inn
portant factor in that struggle, when even
| Wolfe's celebrated triumph over Mont
calm at Quebec is no longer regarded by
the best historical cricitism as the most
| powerful and decisive factor in the final
expulsion of the French dominion. For
it is now recognized that the superiority
of English sea power made the new world
English rather than French. The French
| were excellent colonists, intrepid explorers
and brave soldiers. But France across
| the sea gave her sons in the North Ameri-
| can wilderness no adequate support, while
| the English, constantly reinforced by fresh
| armies were the natural and logical VIC
mighty is on the side of the heaviest bat
| talions Our yankee victory at Lake
| George, then, would have awaited nothing
| in the end had 1t not been for the stout
ships Of England that swept the enemy
from the seas.
But viewed in its remoter aspects, the
| battle of Lake George had truly momen-
tous effects. 1t taught the New England
yeomanry their strength in battle, 1t gave
| them confidence in their prowess, and
| helped to develop the leaders who few
years later were to call the same yeo-
| many TO arms against the king. At Lake
| George New England began to learn the
| art of war; it was but the prelude of Ben
nington and Saratoga plains.

Inherited
Blood Taint.

Here is a case of inherited blood faint
which resulted in what threatened to be
a complete wreck of an innocent young
life. The most serious feature of being
afflicted with blood disease is the fact
that innocent posterity must suffer. The
man or woman with the slightest faint
in the blood forces the undesirable leg
acy of impurity upon their children
whose veins flow with the impure inner
itance which handicaps them in the race
of life.
No child who has trace of bad blood
can be healthy or strong, and those pre-
disposed to Scrofula are liable to great
deal of sickness, because their constitu-
tions are weak and cannot withstand the
many dangers which beset the path Of
childhood. Medical statistics show that
a majority of lung troubles result directly
from Scrofula, so that child afflicted
with this disease is likely to fall a vic
tim to dreaded consumption.
Mr.. w. A. Clayton, of Addie, N. c.,
believes SIS. is the only blood remedy
which can have any effect whatever
upon obstinate cases. He says
MY three-year-old boy had the worst
case of Scrofula ever heard of. He

PRESENTS TO THE QUEEN.
Gifts of III Hung Chang and the Inn
periaI Court Sent by Chang Yuen

Gifts of III Hung Chang and the I'M
periaI Court Sent by Chang Yuen
Huan.
VIM L. Curtis, in the Chicago Record.
The Chinese newspapers contain elabo-
rate descriptions of the presents which
were sent by the emperor, the empress
dowager, Ii Hung Chang and other mem
bers of the imperial court to Queen Vic
toria. These were carried by Chang Yuen
Huan, the ambassador, who recently pass
ed through the United States. The en-
press dowagers presents consist of rare
porcelain and jade stone cups or vases of
fine workmanship and great antiquity;
some of the rare and celebrated Thibetan
Joss" or incense sticks (for burning on
the altar of longevity, and a pine tree,
which is the emblem of longevity, made
entirely of variegated candles nodded into
all sorts of shapes and Devices but all
aiming at the one motto Longevity" The
presents are in six square boxes, made of
the beautiful polished wood called tsztan,
resembling mahogany. There are also
two rectangular boxes of the same mate
rial, containing gold and silver worked
embroideries and silk and satin piece
goods, especially woven from the imperial
designs. On top of two boxes is engraved
the legend:
Eternal spring finds its home in the
kingdom of the sea, and Tefulgent light
surrounds the lady of the moon.
on too of the other six boxes is en-
graved the solitary character Shou, or
longevity" The gifts of the emperor
bore a resemblance to those described
above, and were inclosed In eight boxes
made Of the same material. Prince Kung
and Prince Chang, Ii Hung Chang, Weng
Tung IIo formerly imperial tutor and
president Of the board of revenue, and
the other members of the Tsung Ii Ye-
men, sent several valuable presents, in
GLIDING a porcelain stand, feet inches
high, several eight-fod embroidered
screens, the frame being made of the val
liable wood called hung mu," a pair of
jade stone scepters and a pair of ancient
flower vases of porcelain Of very large
size.

A Gold Mine Dedicated to the Lord.
From the Chicago Tribune.

FROM Nne chicago IrlDune.
A mine dedicated to the Lord! Such
was the novel exercise a few days ago in
one of the principal mining camps Of
Colorado, when the prospective returns
from a producing mining property were
formally offered TO the Lord to aid in
charitable and other works Of philanthro-
py, but more especially to the aid and ed
ucation of orphans. The mine Is the Bon
Ton. a gold-producing property, located I'm
Russell Gulch, In Gilpin county. and has
been leased by the Rev. J. II. Weber OF
Preston, o., and Mr.. G. W. Elmer Of Mon
roe, Mich. Mr. Weber Is an evangel-
list, who has Travelled extensively in this
country and abroad and has created a
stir and sensation In religious circles
wherever he has labored.
The ceremony was witnessed by a large
concourse Of people including many
prominent mining men OF the region. II
was held at the shaft house OF the mine,
on the hillside and under tho blue canopy
Of heaven. Most Of the ministers OF the
gospel In the vicinity were present and
the exercises consisted mainly OF prayers,
singing and addresses. The Rev. Mr.. We
Der himself stated that his work as an
evangelist had enabled him 20 extend ed-
vocational advantages to many worthy
young men, especially orphans. and he in
vested his money In this mining venture
with the hope that II would yield good re-
turns. which would be- turned into a good
and worthy cause. and he believed that In
defeating the property IN the name OF the
Lord he was simply carrying out the mas
ter's will. The mine has been worked for
some time, but more especially In the line
OF development rather than production.
The lessoca have already built "a shaft
house, put IN machinery. and have several
shifts Of men at work. Tho new and now
81 proceeding has attracted widespread in

relief, and treated by the best doctors.
He seemed to get worse all the while,
however, and the disease finally resulted
in curvature of the spine, making him
utterly helpless.
"The bad sores ON his neck increased
in size. and were a source of constant
pain. He was in this pitiful condition
for two years, when some one recon

some of the " 6rst cases of blood diseases.
AS soon as his system was under the eI.

s1,ooo,ooo GOLD IMPORTED.

New York, Sept. 23.-La Touraine, of
the French steamship line, which sails
from Havre on Saturday next will bring
to this port $1,000000 in gold consigned
to the Hanover National Bank Of New
York.
w. Halls, Jr., cashier of the bank,
in reply to a question, said that the
gold was imported directly by the Han
over National Bank ON its own account,
and was in adjustment of its foreign bus
mess. In one sense he said it was a
triangular operation; the gold was TAX
en- from France because the exchange
conditions between London and Paris
made it more satisfactory to import the
gold from Paris than from London. The
Hanover National Bank has always been
large purchaser of grain and cotton
bills as it has a great many western and
southwestern correspondents.
