NOTES FROM THE HUB.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS. ]

The two events here since my last
letter have been the formal preSenta-
tion of the famous and priceless Brad.
ford manuscript, now, after its long
wanderings and long disappearance,
in the safe of the State treasurer,
and the dedication of the Shaw me
mortal. This latter was especially
impressive. Shaw, as is well known,
was blueblood of bluebloods. lIar-
Vard graduate, young. rich, cultured,
ne led the first colorCd regiment dur
ing the war. lie was killed i'm
charge and contemptuouSly buried i'm
nameless grave with his niggcrs."
Last week the Governor and his staff,
distinguished soldiers and guests from
widely separated points, the famous
Seventh Regiment of New York. the
most exclusive regiment in the nation,
all united to do the young soldiers
memory honor. The memorial itself
is beautiful thing, by st. Gaudcns,
in granite and bronze. 1t stands on
the Common close up TO Beacon
street, and just opposite the entrance
TO the State House. With the we'll
meant, but horribly ugly. "Crispus
AttuckS" monument. also on the Com
mon, but at the other corner, the col
ored people cannot complain that they
have been forgotten. The "Crispus
Attucks" monument il may be news
to some of our readers, is to the MEM
ory of the men who fell in the "Bos-
ton massacre" in 1913, of which one
tAttucks) was negro. 1t isn't really
known whether that was his name or
not, and he did nothing in particular
except to get killed. and hat accident
ally, but il is the idea that is memo
rialized, and no one bcgrudgcs the
negroes the scant recognition they
have. BY the way, the notorious Isaac
h. Allen of the Governors Council has
had TO make himself or has been made
prominent again. 1t seems that, by
his own or some one elSe'S invitation,
he marched in the parade to the mem
ory of Col. Shaw as the guest of the
cOlorcd peonlc Iow Col HallowCIl.
who commanded the remnant of the
famous 54th and 55th colorcd regi-
ments in the parade. has come out
voluntarily over his own signature
and said that if he had known Mr..
Allen was in the procession he would
not have been allowed to march. 1t is
not Aliens skin, hut his character to
which the people object.

If it were not for our public build
ings and monuments, how the critics
would suffer for a lack of opportuni-
ties. Not content with reasonable
criticism of the Latin inscription on
the Shaw monument, the wise have
suggested that the troops should be
marching the other way and that
canteens and cartridge boxes should
not be worn on the same side. We
are inclined to believe that this
latest triumph of st. Gaudens can
stand such comments if the critics
can.

The Boynton "bicyclc" railroad bill
has been killed in the Senate. An
amusing incident occurred when it
came up for a second reading. The
House sent it along by Il large ma
iority. Mr.. DaIlnger of Cambridge
had evidently been lulled into false
security. He said nothing; nobody
spoke. There was no discussion. A
voice vote showed strong opposition
and the president declared the bill re-
jccted. Mr.. DaIlinger looked thunder
struck. Mr.. Perkins, Moody Boyn-
tons portly counsel, sat in the gallery
and wondered. Mr.. Dalinger called
for the roll call. When the smoke
cleared away the vote stood IA in
favor and Is against ordering the bill
to third reading, and it was there
fore rejected. The project is not
killed, of course--it really is the best
system in existence, only 1t is Saddled
with its inventor-but is only stunned.
1t will live to fight again, and some
day to win.

Much to the surprise of almost
everybody, Clerk Mulrey and Team
ster Finncran, for obtaining money
from the city under false pre-
tenccs, have been convicted, and con-
sternation rcigns at City Hall. Finne-
ran was contractor and Mulrey Il
clerk in the paving division, and
stripped of technicalities, Finneran
was paid enormous sums for work
never performed and for horses and
teams that never had an existence. 1t
was no news. These things have been
going on for years, and by men of both
political parties. That was what
made the conviction surprise. The
penalty for the offence is prison. 1t is
the desire of the defendants lawyers
to defer sentence till after the eXcep-
tions taken are settled by the supreme
court, but this is not agreeable to the
prosecution. The defence offered no
witnesses, prcfcrring to fight the mat
ter ont in a higher court or else feel
ing strong in acquittal. Others will
soon be tried for the same offence
and will not go to the court room
quite so "cocky." The trial lasted six
days and the jury was out five hours.

TNYEST1rENT NOTES.

There was relaxation of the buying power in the stock market yesterday, say Cuthbert & Co.'S dispatches receiv- ed at their branch office in this city. Tn consequence profit taking was indulged in by the leaders and some of the rank and file. The action of the senate in holding up the Anglo American arbi- tration treaty, the speculation in North ern Pacific preferred contained the features of the market London houses turned sellers In the afternoon, and the market prices shaded off d little. Manhattan was a weak feature yes- terday, with renewed liquidation and bear hammering.
 II any reaction comes it will be a good time to buy again, especially into such stocks as St. Paul, Burlington and Quincy, Louisville, Northern Pa- cific preferred, Atchison, Southern Rail- way preferred and Missouri, Kansas and Texas
 Our Liverpool correspondents say that they do not think prices for cot ton at Liverpool will advance much be- fore spring, as their market is over- loaded and bulls realize on every little advance.
 Wheat is quiet and steady at the de- cline. The opening break was Influence ed by the unexpected weakness shown in the Liverpool markets. There was rush to sell at the opening. but the selling pressure has since subsided, having met large buying orders from holders of puts" and support from the large interests. The deliveries of corn are fair, but nothing in wheat and provisions thus far at Chicago. The rank and file of operators are now sup posed to await the announcement of the visible supply statement The gen. eral expectation is that it will show a liberal decrease.

Sales show that this medi- V &8 v M

cine has enjoyed public confidence and patronage to greater extent than accord- ed any other proprietary medicine. This is simply because it possesses greater merit and produces greater cures than any other. It is not what we say, but what Hoods Sarsaparilla does, that tells the story. All advertisements of Hoods Sarsaparills, like Hoods Sarsaparilla it- self, are honest. We have never deceived the public, and this with its superlative medicinal merit, is why the people have abiding confidence in it. and buy

 ment socially, intellectually and finan- cially, Many counties in our state, ac- tuated by a commendable spirit of progress, are rapidly improving the highways, In the near future some of our counties will have complete sys- tenn of free gravel roads. The main thoroughfares in these counties, having
 been gravelled and received by the county commissioners, are kept in re- pair at the. county's expense. The su- pervisor, being thus relieved from care of the main thoroughfares, is enabled to concentrate the labor and tax at his disposal upon the lateral roads; hence all will soon be improved. The econ omy in road improvement will soon be demonstrated by the fact that the coun- ties having the best roads will main
 tain them at less cost than the mud roads, which, with all their inconVen- fences are maintained in wretched con
 dition.
 The work required by law of able bodied men, together with the road tax, gives to the road supervisors of our state the expenditure in money and ia
 bor of a vast sum. Much of this is
 wasted by reason of incompenet man agement The railway tax for road improvement, in some road districts Of our state, is so manipulated by the road supervisor that the money inures
 more to his benefit that the improve ment of the thoroughfares.
 While some of our road laws need reforming, the manner of their execu- tinn naadS rayolution When cOnne- tence Is made the test in selecting su- pervisors and taxpayers see that they discharge their duties, we will find some improvement in our highways without additional tax"

have to wait; but as for waiting till his
savage old uncle chose to say yea or
nay"-why, the idea was simply pre-
posterous, and Dick put it aside at once
as a contingency which could not be
considered for a moment. After all,
his marriage was his business, his and
nobody else's on his side; he meant to
marry to please himself, and his uncle
could go to the deuce If he liked. After
all, If he did marry her or any 9TH
er girl that he chose to marry, and his
uncle cut up rough over 1t, what could
he do? He could, and probably would,
stop his allowance Immediately. But
then he had absolutely no guarantee
that the old savage might not from
mere caprice do that at any moment,
when he would have no other course
open to him but to exchange into a
regiment serving in India, and live on
his pay. So that, after all, what was
the good Of his depending too much
on his uncle, who would If his wife
happened to die, assuredly marry again
on the chance of having an heir who
would cut him out Of his heritage?
All the same Dick Alymer did not
think that there was the remotest
chance of his uncle's wife leaving the
way clear for successor-her ladyship
was at least fifteen years younger than
her lord, and was a woman Of agrees
siYely good health, which she kept in
perfect order by living by line and
rule; and he reminded himself that
beyond stopping his allowance and
possibly having another heir, Lord
Aylmer was absolutely powerless to
leave one stick or stone away from
him-the property must go with the
title to the heir who was to follow
him.
A couple OF days went by, and Dick
Aylmer had almost forgotten his I'M
cle's letter in the pleasure of anticipa-
ton, and by the time he turned out Of
the barrack gates, bound for Grave
leigh Hall to make his formal call up
on Dorothy strode'O aunt, he was in as
gay and lightsome a mood as he had

INTERNATIONAL Mss ASSOCIATION.

Princess Louis Lorinoff! By Jove, 1
don't envy Monsieur lie Prince! Not a
bit Of it-not even for half a million of
money. And I'm to keep out of his
way. Well, I'll obey that command
with all the pleasure in life. And
I'm not to marry before I'm forty
that's what it amounts to practically.
Well, don't know that l mind that
very much-do 1? All! we'll, / don't
so much know about that-I-" and
then he stopped short and fell into
sort of dream, dream of himself
walking along country road and be-
side him-"and, oh! damnation," said
Dick Aylmer aloud, what did the
old brute want to write to me for?"
He struck match and set fire to the
letter; then a sudden thought occurred
to him and he crushed the fame out
and locked the letter carefully away in
his dispatch box. II may find that re-
mark about marrying again useful" he
said to himself. Anyway, best to
keep it."
But though he had locked the letter
away he could not put the thoughts Of
1t away from him as easily. Indeed, 1t
kept coming back to him again and
again, particularly that one unpalatable
sentence about him waiting till he was
forty before he need expect his uncle
to hear of his marrying under GER
tain amount of dover with the bride.
Now, Dick Aylmer was utterly lg
norant of the circumstances in which
the little girl of his dream was placed.
She might have dover, 1t might be
large or small, he did not know; and
on the other hand, it was more than
likely that she had not so much as a
penny in the world. Somehow, al
though he had never been within the
precincts of Graveleigh Hall. he had
an idea that it was place without
much money behind it. True, the beds
in front of the house were gay with
flowers and the house was large and
of certain appearance. But the hedges
which skirted the sloping meadow were
none too we'll kept; the entrance gates
needed a coat Of paint badly, and had
apparently got we'll used to the neces-
sity; the drive was not very we'll kept,
and altogether he fancied that Dorothy
Strode's dover would be but thing Of
small Importance compared with his
uncle's idea of what Dicks wife ought
to be possessed of.
Now, 1 may as well say here that
Dick Alymer had made up his mind to
marry the little girl of his dream. 1t
might be sooner or it might be later,
but he meant to do it all the same. If
he could get her sooner-why, he
would; and if he could not get her as
soon as he wanted her-why, he would

Frederick the Great and His Dogs.

Frederick the Great and His Dogs.
Frederick the Greats fondness for
dogs amounted to a passion. He al
ways had five or six Italian greyhounds
about him, leaping upon chairs and
sleeping on the couches in his room.
During his last illness he used to sit
on the terrace at Sans Souci and al
ways had dog at his side occupying
another chair. He fed them himself,
played with them and permitted them
to tear, to their hearts content, his
damask chairs and otherwise injure
the furniture, saying: my dogs de-
stroy my chairs; If have them mend
ed today, they would be torn again
tomorrow, so suppose must beara
with the inconvenience" One Of
Frederick's dogs, Biche, attained his"
toric celebrity 1t is stated that the
king took Biche with him on the cam
paign of 1745. One day the king, adj
vanclng on reconnaissance, was sur
prised and pursued by the Austrians.
He took refuge under bridge, and,
wrapping Biche in his cloak, held him
to his breast. The sagacious dog
seemed fully conscious of the peril of
his master, and though of a nervous
temperament and disposed to bark at
the slightest disturbance, he remained
perfectly quiet until the Austrlans had
passed. At the battle Of Sohr, Biche
was taken captive with the kings bag
gage. So much joy did the dog mani
fest upon being restored to his master
that the kings eyes were flooded with
tears. Travellers visit the tombs OF
these famous dogs. In front of The
palace at Sans souci al = fat stones,
each having engraved upon it the name
of dog.
