A STATUE OF LONGFELLOW.
An Association Purposes tn Erect q
Suitable Memorial I'm the
National Capital.

The executive committee of the Long
fellow National Memorial association,
formed for the purpose of erecting a
statue of the poet in Washington, has
issued an appeal to the public for sub
scriptlons to accomplish this purpose.
The committee estimates that S35.-
900 will be needed 10 procure statue
worthy of the poet and the site. The
smallest contributions will be wei
coined. As almost every American
home where the inmates love good lit
srature, says the appeal, coutains a
copy of Longfellow's poems it is hoped
that the response may be both prompt
and generous.
The Riggs national bank of Washing
ton has consented TO act as financial
agent of the memorial association, aud
checks may be made payable to it.
President Mckinley is an honorary
regent Of the association, Chief Justice
Fuller is president, while Secretary
Hay, Senators Hoar and Wolcott,
Speaker Reed and many other prom
inent men are associated with the
movement.

New York, Jan. 30.-Ever since the
expose of the remarkable manner in
which the late John w. Keely secretly
applied power TO his mysterious motor
in his. Philadelphia laboratory efforts
have been made TO obtain a statement
from some of those interested. 1t was
learned Saturday that Charles j. Hill,
attorney for Mrs. Keely, has made a
statement concerning Mr.. Keely and
his motor for the New York Journal,
which was copyrighted by w. r. Hearst.
Mr.. Hill declares that the power TO OPP
crate Keely's machine was supplied by
water motor. and was transmitted by
secret pulleys hidden in hollow shafts.
When investors wanted to see the new
force" at work, Keely turned on the
water by pressing on n rubber bulb.
The motor would stop when pressure
