The Sherman Monument.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Apropos of the enforced cessation of the
work of excavation for the foundation of
General Tecumseh Sherman's statue. be-
cause the site is made ground and ooze,
may l not inquire whether it is discretion
airy with the executive to fix the locus for
the said monument? And if so, why a
more salient and suitable site has not been
selected? Surely, it is wholly unsuitable
since the general was never in any wise
identified with the Treasury Department.
a site near that would be more suitable
for Alexander Hamilton, its first illuStrious
Secretary. Were the foundation more firm.
Now, if it was competent to locate La
fayettes statue at the southeast corner of
jackson Square, fortiori would it be fit
ting and meet to locate General Sherman's
at the southwest corner of the said square,
diagonally opposite the War Department.
to which his illustrious name was so close
ly linked? General Shermans statue de-
serves more solid and lasting, a more
salient and suitable foundation than the
ooZe bed south of the Treasury Depart
ment. SINE CERA

ARRIVED EARLY.
Middle-AGed Man Who Had Trouble
With Misunderstanding.

Among the earlier callers al the Police
Court this morning was a middle-aged man
with a terribly disfigured face, who told
a Star reporter that he ought to be acquit-
ted of any charge that his mother-in-iaw
should make against him. He reached the
court long before the opening hour, and
took his station on the witness stand in
Judge SCOTS court room waiting for the
latters arrival. The mans eyes had been
blackened and his nose cut.
"Of course" he said, confidentially, Il
sometimes do things that my mother-in-
law don't like. and we have trouble. but
never was arrested in my life and l think
ought to be acquitted this time"
Have you been arrested?" he was asked
by the reporter
Never in my life" was his answer land
haven't been arrested this time. l
thought the charge might be Withdrawn
and it would be settled"
Whats the trouble, anyhow"
You see, l sometimes take drink he
explained and the last time didn't get
home until late and the door was locked
on me. L tried my way of opening it and
then there was trouble.
But he concluded, I'm a government
clerk and live in Northeast Washington
and if the court wants me at any time
there won't be any trouble in finding me-
Then the man said good morning and
departed

AS usual the Gormully & Jeffery Manu-
featuring Company has treated the bicycle
trade to another surprise in it's annual an
nouncement for the 1899 season. which they
figure as beginning October l, 1888. Said an
nouncement appeared October ]. and was
advertised in all the large cities of the
country on October 2, 1898
Contrary to all precedent. this concern
has quietly gone ahead and perfected its
plans for an unusually early start, and
consequently have at the present time a
large stock of 1899 Ramblers all Grated
and ready for immediate shipment with
carloads of stock at each of their
many branch distributing houses.
List prices have again been reduced. this
time to $4,000 for Ramblers having 2S-inch
wheels, $4,000 for 3O-inch wheels and $1,000
for tandems. This reduction" quoting
from their new catalogue, also ready for
delivery. lis made possible by the fact that
after careful investigation and consideration
by their corps of experts and consultations
with their principal agents and many ex-
pert Wheelmcn. they fail to discover single
particular in which they can improve upon
1s!,S models of Ramblers. which, they are
quite satisfied. are as near perfect as it is
possible to make bicycles.
In consideration, therefore, of the uni
Versal satisfaction which Ramblers gave
to purchasers in 1898, they have decided to
make 10 change whatever, but will again
offer for 1899 the favorite models of
1898 &c"
This decision was the means of effecting
great saving in the cost of new patterns
dies, &c, which Will now be unnecessary
and this saving has been given to the pub
lie in the reduction of the list price
The line Tor 1899 will consist of Ramblers
Nos. "A, % 26. 81, Is, % and 30, the No. %
being the 30-inch wheel. Slight changes
in fittings on some of the models constitute
the only difference between the 1898 and
1899 machines
G. &. J. proudly boast of the fact that
they have operated their factories contin-
ually, without shutdown, during the en-
tire year, as they have always done in tire
past, that this has resulted in the same
men working on the same parts of Ram
berS Tor many years, thus insuring the
highest efficiency and economical organize
ton, and that, notwithstanding the low list
prices the latest HANDLERS are the best
they have ever built.
With the advantage of this surprisingly
carly start and the competitive price and
well tried and satisfactory line announced.
everything points to decidedly pleasant
state of affairs, from the standpoint not
only of the Rambler manufacturers, but
their agents and the general public as well.
