HERo's UNMARKED GRAVE


| SO Monument on the Spot WhereJohn
c. Fremont's Body u Buried.
Of all the candidates of the great par
les 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 are hundreds of monu-
Eents within a stones throw, there is
nothing 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-
.eiving vault in Rockland cemetery, and
/ movement was started to raise funds
| FOR a monument. For some reason il
failed. and his body remained in the
vault five years. About two years ago
| it was removed, and. with imposing
ceremonies, buried where it now lies.
Many distinguished persons were pres
emit, and it was definitely decided then
10 erect a monument.
Designs were submitted by various
artists, and the one finally selected was
statue of Gen. Fremont, of heroic size,
representing him dressed in the cos
tune of scout, and standing upon a
huge rock The cost was to be SIC. 900.
Mrs. Fremont, the widow, approved of
the design, but practically forbade any
efforts at raising the money by popular
contributions. She deplored the pub
lefty that would necessarily follow. An
attempt was made to raise the money
by private subscriptions. but delays fol-
lowed. and the monument is no nearer
reality now than ever.
Gen. Fremont died very poor. The
" omen 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 years
Did. she is diligently prosecuting what
she terms her life's 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 for
military purposes. but Gen. Fremont
would not accept the price it 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 a short
time before the generals death Then
the government declined to pay for the
land and put in the defense that the
claim was outlawed.
The expectation of a favorable settle
ment of this suit has caused Mrs. Ere
mont to object to any efforts to erect Il
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 the
monument to the memory of my dear
husband. The suit which | have pushed
so diligently must with all justice be
decided in my favor. If it is not | may
rciinquish the task of erecting the mon
umcnt to others."-N. V Herald.

FRENCH MENUS.
They Are q Thing of the Past, and
English IL Now Used.

A gentleman who had noted the ten.
dency upon the part of the restaurateurs
of late to have their menu entirely in Eng
lish, asked one of them what brought about
the change from the old way, when French
was the popular form for every menu in
first-class establishments. He said:
"A change of time and a change of taste.
There was a time when restaurants could
charge very big prices. 1t was in good times,
and people didn't care much what they paid
SO that the service was up to the very best.
Then we put the bill of fare in French as a
gentle deception. Few could read French,
and when they ordered pommes de terre
they were under the impression they were
getting French dish when, in fact, they
were getting plain everyday murphies with
the jackets on.
II remember many funny cases. At one
table and at the close of the meal they or
dered cafe au lait. just because it brought up
the close of the menu. When they were
served with coffee and cream they were
surprised, and the waiter said the girl said
to her beau: We'll, l know enough French
now to know that KAT aw layit is coffee. 1t
won't take me long to learn French, Willie,
if you keep coming here.
Another thing. In the old days the
French was a gentle deception. A man who
ordered pommes de terre, say, was willing
to pay a quarter for them, but he would have
kicked like mule to be called upon to pay
that much for potatoes. People are eating
roast beef and beefsteak now, and French
dishes don't go. l guess the nation is get
ting more and more to have pride in Amer
lea and all things that are American. Gin

WHY SUNDAY is CHOSEN.
Most Royal demonstrations Have Oc-
Cured on the Sabbath.

Most Royal AssnssinationsH Have Oc-
Cured on the Sabbath.
Sunday seems to be favorite day 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 al the hands of anarchists, COM
munists or nihilists. The fact that in
t;val day, when the rulers go around
and give their subjects an opportunity
TO look upon and get near them, is per-
haps sufficient explanation.
Alexander H.. the Russian ear, was
returning to his palace on the after
noon of Sunday, March 13, 1881. when
a dynamite bomb was thrown at his
carriage. The carriage was blown TIC
pieces and Alexander died within n few
hours.
President Carnot. of France. was at
Lyons. attending an industrial and art
exhibition on Sunday. June "a. 1894.
That night as he drove to theater.
Sesare Giovanni Sarilo. a young Italian
anarchist. sprang upon the step of the
presidents carriage and plunged a knife
into his abdomen. Carnot died within
n few hours.
President Faure narrowly escaped
death on Sunday. June Is last. He was
driving on the Bots de Boulogue to wit
LESS the Grand PriN at the Longchamps
race course. when Il bomb was exploded
near his carriage. 1t was of faulty con
struction and hurt no one.
Two attempts have been made on the
life of King Humhert of Italy on Sun
day. March II. 1878. Giovanni Pasa-
mantle climbed into the kings carriage
in the streets CT Naples and stabbed him
in the thigh with sword. The king

lice took charge of him. On Sunday

A HOMEGROWN Experience.

A man went into an iccbouse to cool off.
An abrupt and impetuous hired man closed
and locked the door and went away. The
next day was Sunday and the hired man did
not come back. While the man who yearned
to cool off waited for the return of the hired
man his object was accomplished in a very
thorough manner. He cooled off. The
muffled door gave back but echoes to his
blows, and his voice could find no place to
escape and sound the alarm. When he grew
tired of walking and swinging his arms to
keep warm the chunks of ice that were piled
around him did not offer a tempting he'd
Hunger gnawed at his vitals and refused to
be satisfied with diet of raw air. Darkness
settled down like a six months Arctic night,
and the only sound which broke the pro-
found stiffness was the man who wanted to
cool off trying to swear. The hired man
opened the door on Monday morning, and
the man who wanted to cool off crawled out
more dead than alive. When his tongue had
thawed out he began to abuse the hired
man. ''Fool!' retorted the hired man.
Fool. you are lucky dog and do not know
it. Don't waste time in abusing me, your
benefactor, but 60 and write book of i'm

Cost and Profits of Sugar Making.

[ have recently received number
of letters asking for estimates OF the
cost of machinery and the expense
of operating small sugar mills to care
for crops of from ten to one hundred
acres. The great waste and compar-
ative expense of such small plants has
caused me to discourage the building
of them. However, as the general de-
mand is for such apparatus, and be-
lieving that they will soon grow into
large central mills, with all modern
economical methods, I will endeavor
to approximate the cost OF such a
plant and it's expense of operating.

First, good six-roller horizontal
mill, giving the cane four separate
pressing, should be provided. Such
a mill will extract 70 per cent of the
weight of the cane in juice, and yield
tWenty-four gallons of syrup per ton
of cane. The ordinary two-roller mill,
with wooden frame, and with but one
pressure, extracts but about SO per
cent of juice, and yields only seven
teen gallons of syrup per ton of cane.
This difference alone of seven gallons

or $40 per acre.
Again, the 'bagasse" from such a
mill (siX rolls) can be used direct in
the furnace for fuel, and save at least
two cords of wood, Or SIS per acre in
fuel, or $3.50 per day. Such a double
mill, rigid and we'll built, can be had
with it's necessary engine and boiler
for approximately $4,000 (twenty-
horsepower engine, fifty-horsepower
boiler). For the necessary CHARTERS,
steam-heated, estimate $3.50 to $500. A
pper-bottomed, fire-heated evapora-
tor to burn bagasse will cost, erected,
$1,000. A steam "strike" pan or finish
ing pan will cost $500. The necessary
pumps, tanks, pipes and fittings, with
fret ghts, will cost $500, making the
cost of machinery approximately
$4,000. The building is not necessar-
lily a costly one. Hence $500 would be
ample allowance for the building and
for assembling the apparatus. Total
$4,000.
