unvoiIing OF the monument to the signers
of the Mecklenburg declaration of indie
pendence.
The uuveillng ceremonies will take place
tomorrow and win be completed on that
day.
The original programme extended over
several days, but on account Of the war
it has been brought within the compass Of
one.
Miss Ella NJ Powell will act as sponsor
for Georgia. and the honor conferred upon
her is emphasized by the circumstances at
tending her selection by the Governor
When the monument 70 the heroes Of the
battle of Cowpens was proposed. Gov. Col
quite. in the name of this state, pledged
Georgia TO pay her share of the expenses
which was $3.50. This amount had never
been paid by the state. Several years ago
when the matter was brought to the at
tention. of Miss Powell, she undertook 10
raise by subscription the money necessary
TO pay the debt of honor for the state, and,
failing in that paid the $3.50 out of her
own money. trusting the state 10 refund
the money.
Gov. Atnlnson called attention to the
matter in his last annual message and
urged the legislators to refund the money
to Miss Powell but the appropriation was
NOT made.
The people of North Carolina were much
impressed by the action of Miss Powell
and when the Governor was asked to name
a sponsor for this state, the Mecklenburg
Association suggested the propriety Of
IGNORING her.
The following young ladies are maids Of
honor from Georgia Miss Kate Johnson Of
Wdycross, Miss Caiharine Tiff OF Triton,

PATRIOTISM IN GERMANY.
How the Sentiment Is Taught the
Youth in School.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
In Germany they teach patriotism in the
popular schools; in England we do not-at
any rate. not officially. In Germany the
Kaiser's birthday, the anniversary of Sc
dan, and other national landmarks are eel
ebrated in the national schools They have
feasts and music and excursions; but the
children have kept clearly before their eyes
the reason for their rejoicings. Indeed, the
law impresses upon parents and children
that all voluntary absence from these
school feasts is an offense. There were
parents who kept their children back, es-
pecially from the Sedan commemoration,
and this on conscientious grounds. But
now no longer; for" says the magistrate,
"any unexcused absence from patriotic fes-
rivals established by the school shall be
considered as voluntary non-attendance,
and inspectors, teachers, and the author
tiles concerned are hereby instructed to
this effect"
Patriotism a la pedagogue, perhaps, but
patriotism none the less; and the children
of a great empire might perhaps do well
to take leaf out of a book made in Ger
many Let us imagine the establishment of
the English child if he were told that he
was to have holiday and a fete for the
sake of some great event in our own his
tory. But Germany has these patriotic
school-feasts, and France the emblem of
the republic in every school room, because
they actually imagine the patriot is made
as well as born.

H. c. PoLLoCK,s NEW POST.
Made an Attache of the United States
 Legation at Rio Janeiro.

Mir. H. c. Pollock, deputy collector of internal revenue for Arizona, yes terday received notice of his appoint ment as stenographer to Charles Page Bryan, United States minister to Brazil. He will at once tender his resignation of the office of deputy col lector and request the immediate ap- pointment of his successor. In the meantime he will close up as far as possible the business of his office. He hopes to be able to leave for Chicago about June 15 and he will start from there at once for Rio Janeiro.
 MT. Pollock is an old acquaintance of Minister Bryan. They served to- gether on the staff of the governor of Illinois during the worlds fair and were detailed to receive foreign army officers. It will be remembered that Mir. Bryan was first appointed minis ter to China. MT. Pollock at that time applied to him for the position of stenographer, but MT. Bryan failed of confirmation for the reason that the senate believed that on account Of the strained situation in the east. the minister to Pekin should be a man of extensive diplomatic experience MT. Bryan was then named for the Brazilian post and readily confirmed Then the correspondence regarding the position of stenographer was reopened resulting in the appointment of MT Pollock. This office pays s1,SO0 a year beside certain perquisites and the gaiety of residence in a South American capital. During the brief time MT. Pollock has held the office of deputy collector he has performed h1s duties carefully and expeditiously. His departure from Phoenix will be regretted by wide circle of friends.

SHERIDAN'S COWBOYS.
Ten Applicants for Service Enrolled
 Yesterday.

When County Recorder F. W. Sher- idan went to his office yesterday morn ing he found a procession of cowboys and ether persons proficient in horse manship awaiting his arrival and wanting to enlist in his cowboy regi- ment for the Philippines. Others kept dropping in during the day until all together thirty applicants had ap- peared- Many were genuine cowboys, others were good horsemen, some were militiamen and some had no other qualification than an ambition to serve their country and avenge the Maine.
 Among the latter was a young man who had evidently never had a formal introduction to a horse.
 In reply to the first and most inn portant question, Can you ride?" he replied, I've never ridden much, but I can soon learn" "But," said MT. Sheridan, "this isn't going to be a riding school" Another applicant was a young militiaman- He was hardly up to the standing of weight, but he said he was a good rider. Be side that he was trumpeter and de- sired to perform that service Can you sound the report?" The militia man said he could Well" said MT. Sheridan eff you should be accepted as trumpeter. I would ask you to sound that call just to prove your pro- ficiency, but you should never under any circumstances sound it again."

ANOTHER HoLD-UP.
A F'renchman Made a Successful Talk
 to a RObber.

As might have b5en expected, there was another hold-up last night. A Frenchman, who did not give his name, reported it to the police half hour afterward. He was on his way to the depot to meet his wife and
 child who were coming in from the
 north. At the crossing of the street car and the s. F. P. & P. tracks he was met by man whose face was cbscured by handkerchief The highwayman presented a gun and or dered the victim to hold up his hands. He did so, saying, Search me. I have nothing" The statement was borne out by his general appearance, for he was clad in a rough blouse and a pair of overalls. His poverty fooled the robber, who said, "Well get out of this. Go on." The Frenchman went, taking with him S70 which he had hardly hoped to have the pleas ure of fondling again. 4

BURIAL OF GOVERNOR FRANKLl
A Sincere Expression of Public an
 Private Woe.

The funeral of ex-Governor B. J. Franklin occurred yesterday afternoon from the family residence on North Seventh street The closing details of the obsequies were arranged yester- day morning. The flags on the public
 buildings and on many residences were lowered to half mast, so that Phoenix had seldom presented so
 many emblems of grief
 The reading of the Episcopal burial service by Rev. Dr. E. A. Penick of Trinity church took place at the house at 3 o'clock. There were large number of people present, including Governor McCord and his staff, all the territorial and many of the federal officials. At o'clock the cortege left the house for Rosedale cemetery. It turned into Washington street off Center headed by A and B companies of the national guard, keeping step to muff1ed drum. The hearse was pre- ceded and followed by members of the Improved Order of Red Men Next came relatives and friends, then Gov ernor McCord and his staff, and then long line of carriages. There were other services, though brief, at the cemetery, and good and lovable man
 was laid to rest.
 His death had been so sudden and
 had occurred so late in the afternoon
 that many had not heard of it until they read the accounts of it in yes terday mornings papers. It seemed difficult to realize, for the figure of the
 ex-governr had been such familiar one on the streets, and to the careless observer he had been in robust health. Expressions of the sincerese regret were heard on all sides and there was a unanimcus verdict that an honest
 man had gone.
