MONUMENT ON A MOUNTAIN
The DiacuIty of Getting Heavy
stones for the Work to Look
out Mounts Crest.

A serious problem confronts the en-
pineers in charge of the erection OF
the great New York peace memorial
ON the summit of Lookout mountain.
The question is how to get the
material for the monument to the
top of the mountain, 1900 feet above
the surrounding country. The rail-
road which has been running to the
top of the mountain as freight line
has been discontinued, and the rails
will be sold for old iron.
It is unsafe even If it were in OPP
Grafton. the trestles and cross-ties be-
ing worn and rotten, says the Phila-
deIphia Record. The track In its
present condition will only safely
stand a load of 10000 pounds, the
engineers say, while one of the stones
to be used in the monument Will
weigh nearly 10000 pounds, and many
of them $4,000 pounds. There is no
roadway near the spot where the
monument is being erected, 1t being
high above all the surrounding coun-
try. In case no other means can be
devised to handle the material and
move II TO the top a road four miles
in length will be constructed especial
ly for the purpose.

WILHELM TO HAVE AUTOS.
The German Emperor Ii Ordering
General Assortment of Horse
less Vehicles.

The Germans were slow in adopt
ing the automobile, but now the EN-
peror has taken it under his pro
tecting wing and it is expected te
become the fad in Berlin. A number
of persons connected with the Ber
lin court are trying to do business
with it, and there is good deal Of
enterprise and readiness to speculate
among the courtiers on the spree
More than year ago the kaiseri
master of the horse inquired OF q
well-known carriage manufacturer IL
the capital if he could supply him
with motor cars for the conveyance
of visitors from the station to hi
maiesty's country seat, at WlldparK
near Potsdam-the new palace. Since
then the imperial post office has Sc
cured some heavy vans propelled or
this principle; and now Kaiser VIII
helm himself is going to try thi'
mode of travelling. In the month OF
August the kaiser visited the military
drill ground at Alten-Grabow, in the
province of Saxony, and Travelled the
distance from Wusterwitz to Zesal
and thence to Nedlitz in a motor car
The carriage-maker above referred t'
has offered his mapesty a present OF
three of such vehicles, which he ha'
gtaciously accepted. The roads in thu
neighborhood were specially put II
order for the convenience OF the I'M
perial party.

WHERE AMERICANS MAY WIN.
Portugal a Grent Field for American
Enterprise, Says Our Min
lister There.

There is a great field in Portugal for
American enterprise, writes John n.
Irwin, United States minister to that
kingdom, in Success. Our manufac-
turers really ought to prospect" in
that little-known country. In the first
place they are made most welcome.
The king and the queen, both young
and truly regal speak English perfect
" and are among our warmest admir-
ers. They reflect the sentiment Of
their people. In the second place,
American goods are needed, and the
progressive part OF the population
would welcome them as a means of adj
vancing the country's prosperity.
English-made machinery now used
there is of old type and not up to date.
In Lisbon the old style of transporta-
ton is being changed to the electric
system. While English capital is con-
Quoting tie enterprise, every bit of ma
terial, from the smallest bolt TO the
modern cars, is Of American make.
Portugal sends us cork, and we send
her petroleum and wheat, but in my
opinin the balance of trade now In our
favor could be materially increased
If our manufacturers were to take
full advantage of their opportunities
in the little kingdom.

MOUNT ARAFAT ASCENDED.
The Task Was Recently Accom-
plished by a Party of Russian
Scientists.

The Ararat mountains in Armenia
comprise two peaks situated seven
miles apart. They are known as
Great and Little Ararat, and are re-
spectively 1890 and 1890 feet above
the plain. They partially belong to
three countries. Russia. Turkey and
Persia. The mountains are covered
on the tops with perpetual snow. Ice
and glaciers. The summit of Great
Ararat was reached in 1929 by Prof.
Parrot, says the Scientific American,
and on September 2. 1900. member
Of the Russian Geographical society
named Peoggenpohl assembled the
peak with a considerable party. The
difficulties of the ascent are very
great, and his successful expedition
will be welcome news in geographical
circles. Ascents are rare, having been
made in 1884, 1S43, 1S45, 1880 and 1885.
Little Ararat is even more difficult
to climb, as its declivities are greater
and sleeper, its form being almost
conical. 1t is believed to be the spot
where the ark rested, but there Is q
tradition that Mount Judi in south
ern Armenia was the spot. The noun
tain is of volcanic origin and was IN
eruption in 1888. and in 1s4O there
was a vast discharge of sulphurous
vapors from its sides. and tremen-
dous earthquake shook the surround
ing country. There is considerable
literature devoted to the mountain.

DOG COULDN'T STAND IT.
The Excitement Was Too Much and
II Expired while Watching
Women in q Fight.

They were only sisters, but the mer
nv way in which they plucked out
each others hair by the roots in thu
vestibule entrance to a Dearborn ave
nue. apartment house indicated long
standing mutual hatred, reports the
Chicago Chronicle. Several hundred
excited spectators gathered from the
street and nearby fats, but among
them all there was none who evinced
any desire to separate the women who
were pounding each other and rolling
on the floor in a confusion and siren
uosity that won the plaudits OF the
crowd.
Choke her, Ida" shouted fat man
who sided with the woman that had
gained the upper hand and was
scratching her opponents face with
fingers that worked like a hay tedder
1t was the landlord who rushed into
the crowd in a laudable effort to part
the combatants. At lis heels and as
much excited as his master came
his pet terrier. Around and around
the little dog whirled, barking loudly
while the landlord exerted his
strength to end the fight. Just as
its owner succeeded IN his errand OF
peace the terrier fell over on its side
dead. The excitement had been toe
much for its weak heart.

OBJECTED TO ANY DICTATION.
Gov. Taylor of Tennessee Enectually
Ended the Interference
of Legislators.

Gov. Bob Taylor, of Tennessee, was
just exactly opposite to Gov. Allen,
with as tender a heart as a woman,
and the way he pardoned out con-
victs was something awful. He was
waited upon by committee Of the
legislature, who very fatty and in
no uncertain way told him that this
wholesale pardoning must stop"
"Gov'ner Bob" looked at the COM
mittee, tapped bell, asked for his
pardon clerk, and when he came, said:
make out pardons for every man
in the penitentiary."
The clerk bowed and withdrew.
Then the governor looked at the COM
mittee, who were staring as il they
thought he was going mad.
Gentlemen" he said, finally, 81 am
governor of Tennessee, and II this
committee or any other ever again
seeks to interfere with my constitu-
tional right to pardon I'll sign every
one of those pardons which the clerk
is making out. Good morning"

A witty Juatice.

One day before the late lord chief
Justice took sick he was sitting in
court when another barrister, leaning
across the benches during the hearing
of a trial for bigamy, whispered: Rus
sell, what's the extreme penalty for
bigamy?" 1.-TWO mothers-in-law," in
stantly replied Russell. On one occa-
sion Lord Russell went to help the
liberals in a certain campaign. He be-
gan his speech with some badly pro-
nounced Scotch. After the confusion
caused by his blunder had subsidized
Sir Charles Russell las he was them
said: Gentlemen, do not speak
Scotch, but 1 vote Scotch" Tremen-
dous applause followed, whereupon Sir
Charles proceeded, land / sometimes

the audience was cured.-London Tit

COURT MOURNING.
Period OF Grief in Various Coun-
tries Depends Entirely on
Rank of Deceased.

Now that so many countries are
plunged into grief over the loss Of King
Humbert of Italy and the duke OF
6axe-Coburg, mourning such as pre-
gcribed by the court is being worn.
In England it is customary to mourn
for our king or queen three months;
for son or daughter of our sovereign,
such as is the case now for the duke OF
Saxe-Coburg, it is to be six weeks;
for brother or a sister OF sovereign,
only three weeks; for an uncle, aunt,
nephew or niece, the court goes into
mourning for two weeks; while from
three to ten days is usual for cousin,
according to the relationship. The
royal regulation for the first period Is
a black dress, white gloves, black OF
white shoes, feather and fans, white
pearls, diamonds or plain gold and sill
yer ornaments may be worn, says the
London Times. For the men, black
court dress with black swords and
buckles.
At the end Of that period, which Is
generally third of the whole, accord
ing to the rank Of royalty being
mourned for, the costume is changed
the ladies then wearing black dresses
with colored ribbons, flowers, feathers,
and ornaments, while the men remain
as before until the court goes out OF
mourning. For the military and other
royal servants black Grape band is
fixed to the left arm for the time speci-
fed, while at night the handle of the
sword is also to be enveloped In Grape.
In different countries different
mourning colors are used, but all over
Europe black is universal.

THE ROCKING CHAIR.

What would they do without it
That creaky old rocking chair,
That stands In the nursery cornerf
It's treasure they couldn't spare.
For, excepting when mamma is rocking
The baby who thinks 1t fun
Why, 1t isn't a chair; it's a dozen
A score of things all in one.
It's a coy family carriage,
With lamps and with trappings brave.
And little Johnny's the driver
And Willy the footman grave.
It's steam-car, going to Boston,
Under management somewhat queer.
FOR WHY'S the small conductor,
And Johnny's the engineer
It's ferry boat crossing the river
On a dreadfully foggy day,
With toOtings through paper trumpets,
And collisions upon the way.
Its a steamer sailing the ocean.
A hundred miles from land.
And Johnnys the mate, with a spyglass,
And Willy is in command.
1t has been big balloon,
A-hoating so lightly and gayly.
Way up to the sun and moon.
And the dreadfully creaky condition
That old rockingham is In.
Is because of the wonderful journeys
And the manifold things it's BEEN

Transvaal Beers, and thought that in
the event of the success of the latter
they would suffer severely at their
hands The Free Staters had had no
controversy with Great Britain. The
Uitlander question was nothing to
them, for there were few foreign set
tiers in their midst, and those who were
settled, were regarded with favorable
eyes. There have been signs that the
Free Staters felt that they were being
made catspaws of by the Transvaal
people All this is going to tell now
that the British arms are becoming
successful.

One often hears statements of this kind.
They are meant for effect. General
Trochu, when the Germans besieged
Paris, announced that he would die in
the last ditch, but he survived the Siege
against one, it is always found better
to give up than to go on losing life
needlessly. The truly brave man knows
when to surrender
The result of the war will be by no
means disastrous to the Beers. They
will not have the right, however, of
preventing others from having a voting
right. Their schools will not be inter-
fered with, but they will not have the
right of insisting that all children
should attend schools taught in Dutch.
In point of fact the Boer idea of liberty
was all for himself, and none for any
one else. 1t will be for the future ad-
vantage of the Boer descendants to
have established a government in con-
sonance with the modern views. No
one impugns the bravery of the Beers,
nor their honesty of purpose, though we
may doubt the honesty Of purpose of
the oligarchy that rules them.
But of this we may be sure, that once
British rule is established there will be
no discrimination against the Beers,
and that in spite of the loss of life and
of treasure which the war has caused,
the Boer as a British subject, will have
the same rights and privileges as any
other British subject.

A GRAND WORK.


The prospect for establishing the hos
pital for incurables upon firm basis
seems likely to be realized. For the
present, until final arrangements are
made, the associated charities will as
sumo the duty of running the institu-
ton. Meantime considerable sums of
money have been promised and Mr..
Young proposes a scheme for raising an
endowment fund of 100000. 1t is to be
hoped that this plan will be effectually
carried out and it will assure the per-
manence of one of the noblest insti-
tutions in Honolulu.
There is one thing that must be care
fully guarded against and that is the
coming to this territory of incurables
from the mainland or elsewhere. This
hospital is for our own people. citizens
or residents of the Islands. Consider
able care will have to be exercised in
drawing up the rules so as to prevent
its being used as a dumping ground for
outside incurables.
The interest in this institution is
rapidly growing, and will continue to
increase as the plans become more
generally known and understood. Net
only is Honolulu interested, but the
whole Islands take an interest AL
ready money has come in from Kauai,
and that is only a beginning. Many
letters upon the subject have been writ
ten from Hawaii, and now that the IN
stitution takes definite shape, money
will come from that Island.
The institution is to he thoroughly
cosmopolitan liz character, and the
make up of it's Board of Directors and
its officers ensures this. The fact that
representatives from various religious
bodies meet here upon one common
plane of. charity and good will is very
significant and will do much to ensure
the success of the undertaking. The
need of such an institution Is now
thoroughly realized. The plague has
done this much good. It has brought
the fact that there is no proper place
for the care of incurables prominently
forward and interested people into
making a united effort
