Nnt So Very old After All.

In a little village churchyard at
Bickenhill. in Warwickshire, is q
tombstone upon which is inscribed the
age of dear old maiden lady who de-
parted this life in the year 1701. Her
age, as testified by the engraver's art,
was 70S. Born before the Conquest
and dying under Queen Anne. Again
at Chave PriOry. Worcestershire, the
age of rude forefather" is similarly
inscribed as 300. Not to harrow the read
er. we may say that these portentous
figures are strictly the product of the
engraver's art The monumental ma
son of those days was nothing if not
ignorant, ana his idea of writing IS or
80 was to write 20 or 80 first and OF
0 afterward, meaning 10 plus s or 80
plus ., etc. rs the case might be.

Perhaps as costly n commodity as
any that is carried in considerable
quantities in truckloads is Sumatra to-
bacco, such as is used for cigar wrap
pers. Sumatra wrappers cost from
81 to 50 a pound, and the import duty
on them is $1.S5 pound. This tobacco
is imported in small. compact bales
weighing 170 or 1S0 pounds each. Duty
paid Sumatra would be worth about
$500 bale. and there can be carried on
a truck fifty bales or more; SO that a
so bale truckload of such tobacco
would be worth about $3O,0OO.-New

WILL BE MARKED.
Spot Where Declaration Of
independence Was
Read.

The matter of locating the spot over
which Isaiah Thomas stood when he
read the Declaration of Independence
has been settled by the committee tc
whom the matter was referred some
time ago, and bronze tablet suitably
inscribed is to be placed in the near
future, marking the location.
There was a meeting yesterday af-
ternoon in the mayors office of Mayor
Dodge, City Solicitor Arthur P. Rugg
City Engineer F. A. Mcclure and w
H. Bartlett, who have the matter in
charge. Plans which have been pre-
pared by the city engineer were shown
and after adjourning to the outside OF
the building the exact spot over which
Isaiah Thomas stood when the con-
tents of this famous document was first
communicated to the people of Wor-
cester was determined and marked
with a blue cross.
1t has been the intention to mark the
spot with a metal star set in the stone
step, and to erect a tablet somewhere
near by but on looking over the stu
alton, yesterday it was decided thai
a tablet set on the outside of the build
ing would mar the appearance of the
structure.
The spot which is to be marked is
midway in the upper stone step in the
plaza, and nearly opposite the NORTH
side Of the entrance to the ground fiool
of the city hall. The final decision or
the matter was to have a bronze table,
suitably inscribed, placed on the face
of the rise of the top step, the inscrip-
ton to be drafted by Mr.. Bartlett ant
design prepared by the city engineer
Mr.. Bartlett has given considerable
time to looking the matter up and from
what he can learn, Isaiah Thomas
stood on the roof of the porch on the
west side of the Old South meeting
house, when the document was read
The first occasion was on July IA, 1875
which date, according to the almanac
was on Sunday On July "a, of the
same year the document was read be
fore vast gathering made up of PEG
pie from surrounding towns as well as
residents of this city.
The roof of the west porch of the
church must have proved rother slip
perry a foothold and may have occa-
stoned some change in position while
the document was being read, but the
spot over which the porch stood has
been ascertained and the location
which by a singular coincidence is 81
fitting at the present time, will be suit
ably marked.
