DICKENS GRAVE is UNMARKED.
No Monument Rises Over the Remains
of the Great Novelist.

No Monument Rises Over the Remains
of the Great Novelist.
The suggestion has been made that
monument to Charles Dickens should
be erected in one Of the public places
of this city. 1t is not at all likely that
the proposal, however warmly it might
be supported by the English people,
will ever be carried into effect, for any
such scheme Of perpetuation would be
in direct opposition to the expressed
wish Of the great novelist, who desired
by his work alone to live in the hearts
of his countrymen. The will of Charles
Dickens, from which the following lines
are taken, very clearly expresses the
masters wishes:
81 conjure my friends on NO account
to make me the subject of any monu-
ment, memorial or testimonial what
ever. / rest my claims to the remem-
brance of my country upon my pub
hshed works and to the remem brance
of my friends upon their experience of
me in addition thereto"
To this wish the members of the fam
lily have always given the strongest adj
herence and have already discounte-
nanced, and will continue to discour-
age, any attempt to set the provision
of the will at naught.
Some few years ago Edwin ElweIl.
a gifted American sculptor, completed
in marble full length portrait figure
of the novelist, with little Nell looking
upward to the face of her creator. This
charming group the sculptor offered to
the London county council for erection
in some suitable place in London, but
owing to the attitude of the family.
who out of respect to the wishes of the
novelist refused to countenance the
movement, the offer was declined.
In these circumstances it Is hardly
probable that any memorial, at least

penditure of $4,000 by the members OF
the Wilder brigade, and it is the most
imposing and massive monument on the
national battlefield. At the Wilder shaft
Mai. James A. Connolly of Springfield,
H.: Gen. Smith D. Atkins of Freeport,
ILL.,, and others spoke. The speech or
Col Tomlinson Fort of Chattanooga was
the first ever delivered by Confederate
veteran on Chickamauga battlefield at
the dedication Of a monument to Union
soldiers of the civil war; n. 3. Forrest
Camp, Confederate veterans, was pres
ent clad in uniforms of gray.
The monument is constructed of lime
stone quarried from the hills in the Vi
cinity of the park. 1t is seyenty-hve feet
high and is an embattled circular tower
resting on a square base tWenty-feet IN
dimension A spiral stairway on the in
side leads to the top, from which view
of the entire park is obtained. The cost
of the monument completed was about
$4,000, the entire amount having been
contributed by the members of the brig
AIDE, Gen. Wilder himself being the most
liberal contributor.

She touched the spring and raised it.
Oh, heaven! that the sight did not strike

A short, stern letter, such as she had
never in all her life received from him
before.
ooh, Glade, I am so sorry that I
wrote!" she cried. "You see that he is
angry with me-he is vexed and annoyed,
he will never forgive me-"
HE is vexed that you have found out
his secret said Miss Beaton, ga secret
that he has evidently intended to keep
from you. Why should it be secret?
He evidently has something he does not
wish you to know. Why should any man
have a secret of such nature from his
wife? I cannot understand it,
''He is innocent" said the hapless lady.
'Then you may laugh at the whole
world; but in the meantime, advise you
strongly, make yourself mistress of your
husbands secret, and then you can fight

CHAPTER XVIII.

In that one moment the silence deep
ened. The awful pallor that come over
her face was terrible to see, while the
dark eyes looking at her cleaned With
fire.
One moment the wind whispered and
the leaves rustled-only one moment;
then a cry that might have frozen ones
heart rose from those white lips-a cry
Of unutterable horror, of unutterable an
guish-a cry that must have pierced the
heavens. Then the lid of the cabinet
FELL and the. white hands fell powerless,
motioniess be her side.
"Oh, heaven! oh, heaven! be pitiful!''
she prayed, as she knelt and buried her
face in her hands. "Oh, heaven, spare
me, for can bear no morer'
what have you found there?' asked
Glade.
II cannot tell you," gasped the hapless
lady
rs it anything that could bring dan
ger toto Sir Cyril?' asked Glade. ''If
it be so, tell me quickly."g
A sudden shock seemed to pass over
the stately figure at those words, a sud
den thrill Of pain, sudden and keen
chain Of reasoning; she looked up into
the false face of her false friend.
Danger to my husband! What should
be dangerous to him?" she asked.
II cannot tell; but you seemed so
strangely affected, that was all. Let me
go and bring you some wine, Lenore; you
tremble so that you can hardly stand.
Then, when / come back again, l shall
make you show me what is in the cabi-
metz
eyes, co." said Lady Lenore; Il shall
be glad of something-I feel very ill.
''You must not mind if am more than
FIVE minutes, shall have to get the
keys"
One more prone to suspicion than Lady
Vernon might have fancied that she was
purposely absenting herself, and wished
her victim to know for how long.
She forced Lady Vernon into the easy
chair she had just quilted.
Crest there until I return" she said.
And the beautiful blonde head fell
back into a worn, tired attitude; and as
Glade quilted the room she heard the
low, whispered words:
ooh, heaven! be pitiful, and let me
diev'
But no sooner had the door closed be
hind Glade Beaton than Lady Vernon
sprang from her seat and locked the
door; then she stood trembling, with
parted lips, almost painting for breath
II must touch them,' she said; II
must take them away-I must hide them.
Yet would rather touch my dead hus-
bands heart"
She unlocked the cabinet and took
from it the pocket pistol that she laid on
the table; then, with hands that trem-
bled still more, she drew from the little
velvet inclosure small parcel that she
laid on the table.
ooh, that l should see them again, and
thus!' she cried.

ASKS QUEEN TO INTERVENE.
President Kruger Appeals to Victoria
To Prevent k,nndslled.

President Kruger Appeals to Victoria
to Prevent B;oodshed.
London advices say that President
Kruger's cablegram to the Queen, asking
for peace will likely prolong the delay and
possibly result in conference. The pres
ident of the Transvaal assumes high NOR
al grounds and argues with great earnest
ness. It is difficult to see how the Queen
can ignore the appeal. There are con-
siderations that will modify the effect of
the petition-its hardness and the fact
that the Transyaal Government had ap-
pealed to the continental powers previ-
ously.
Meanwhile the preparations for war
continue with every evidence of bellicose
industry on both sides. Double forces are
working at the royal arsenal and dock
yards to equip and transport troops to
the cape. All factories making the par
aphernalia of war are working overtime
on large orders.
The reply Of President Steyn Of the
Orange Free State to the note of Sir AL
fred Miner is far more diplomatic than
pacific. 1t is thought that the Free
State raad will plunge into war at it's
first opportunity. The Boer activity in
preparing for hostilities is not less than
the British. The distribution of rifles
goes on with increased rapidity and the
massing On the frontier is nearing COM
pletion.
The Uitlander council, as the result Of
meetings held at Pietermaritzburg and
johannesburg, decided to address a com
munication to the British high commits
sioner, Sir Alfred Miner, urging the i'm
perlal Government to break off negotia-
lions with the Transvaal The reasons
for this action are that "the severe dis
tress prevailing may compel the remain
ing Uitlanders to accept any compromise
offered, that loyal British subjects are
becoming discontented and that great I'M
rest exists among the natiyes.'

Uncle sam Will Not Now Take Gold in

1t may be an astonishing statement +o

refuses to accept gold of its own coinage

is what at least one sub-treasurer is ac-
tually doing. The complaint comes from
st. Louis, where the sub-treasurer do
cilnes to exchange silver dollars excent
for silver certificates Neither GOLD nor
bank notes will tempt the white coins
from his vaults. 1t is quite possible for
the United States treasury to reach q

Disappointed Mexican Spectators BE.

Failure on the part of the manager Of
Campeche, Mexico, bull fight to fulfill
his promises resulted in a general riot,
during which many persons were badly
injured. The manager had advertised
fights with six fierce bulls and Spanish
picadors were billed to perform the high
est feats Of the profession, including
somersaults over the backs Of the most
savage animals that could be procured.
Instead Of the ferocious beasts, six tame
bulls were introduced, and the animals
ran away from the center Of the ring
when the fighters approached them. This
enraged the spectators to degree Of
frenzy. They tore down the seats and
the very ring itself, assaulting the per-
formers and the manager, who, it is
claimed, was seeking fight with the pro-
ceeds of the tickets sold.
