ST. PATRICK'S GRAVE.
The Saints Resting Place Said to
Have Been Discovered at
Last.

After ages of neglect, says the Lon
don Daily Graphic, the traditional
rest ing place of the remains of Ire
lands patron saint in the cathedral
grave yard at Downpatrick have been
covered with a memorial stone. The
stone is rough, weather beaten bowl
der of granite, weighing about seven
tons, from the mountain side of Sieve
na-Largie, where it rested at height
of 600 feet. Upon the upper surface of
the bowlder is incised an Irish cross,
faithfully reproduced from one cut on
an equally rough, unhewn stone found
on the island of Inisclothran, one of the
islands of Tough Rec, where St. Diar-
mid founded his famous ecclesiastical
settlement in the middle of the sixth
century. Under the cross the name
"Patric" is cut in Irish characters
copied from the earliest known Celtic
manuscripts. The simple treatment is
considered to be the nearest approach
to the form of monument which would
have been constructed about the year
469, the supposed date of the saints
death.
The movement was initiated by F. !.
Bigger, of Belfast who was warmly
supported by all classes and creeds. The
supervision of the work was intrusted
to W. j. Fennell, architect of Belfast.

THE NEW INDIAN.
Statistics Show That He Is Fast En-
tering the Paths of Civ
iIiZatiOn.

That the Indian is leaving his native
trail for the white mans path" is
well evidenced by statistics gathered
from the annual reports of the United
States Indian agents, says Youths
Companion. A greatly increasing
number of Indians on the reservations,
or what have lately been reservations,
can read. Nearly hundred thousand
of them have completely adopted the
white mems dress. Almost all of them
have discarded the original dress of the
people of their tribes.
Eleven hundred dwelling houses
were built by Indians last year, and
the Indians on the reservations now
possess more than $4,000 dwelling
houses. They are, as rule, no longer
nomadic, no longer jewellers in wig
vans. Externally, at least, they are
rapidly adopting the ways of civiliza
ton.
Are they at the same time becoming
civilized" in the true sense? 1t is not
possible to answer yes with confidence.
They are learning to read, to live in
houses, and to wear white mems
clothes; yet unfortunately, in some
cases at least, the vices of civilization
seem likely to overpower some of the
native virtues of the race. On some
reservations intemperance has in
creased almost exactly in proportion
to the disappearance of the character
istics of the aboriginal red man.
To civilize means to endow with the
proper qualities of a citizen; and so
far as the reading and house-dwelling
Indian lacks these qualities, his trans
formation into the outward sembIance
of a white man fails in its chief pur-
pose. The duty of the white people
toward the Indian is far from being
ended with imposing upon him the
superficial marks of their civilizatio

STAIR CLIMBING,
A Physician Tells the Proper Way
to Do It-Reprehensible Habit
of Bending.

If one would avoid fatigue in climb
ing stairs, necessary act in a city
Ike Chicago, where many buildings
have no elevators, he must learn how
to do it properly, says the Record of
that city. A physician of repute tells
how this should be done.
Usually" he said, "a person will
tread on the ball of the foot in TAX
ing each step. This is very tiresome
and wearing on the muscles of the
legs and feet. You should in walk
ing or climbing stairs seek for the
most equal distribution of the bodys
weight possible. In walking upstairs
your feet should be placed squarely
down on the step, heel and all, and
then the work should be performed
slowly and deliberately. IN this way
there is no strain upon any particu-
lar muscle, te%t each one is doinguns
duty in a natural manner. The WON
an who goes upstairs with a spring
is no philosopher, or, at least, she is
not making proper use of reasoning
faculties. The habit, too, of bending
over half double when ascending a
flight of stairs is exceedingly repre-
hensible. In any exertion of the kind,
when the heart is naturally excited to
a more rapid action, it is desirable
that the lungs should have full play.
The crouching position interferes
with their action, the blood is imper-
fectly aerated, and there is trouble
at once. Give the lungs a chance to
do their work everywhere and at all
fimeSD

PHOTOGRAPHIC ON MARBLE.
Process, Recently Perfected, Which
Is Said to Give Fine
Results.

The following process for making
Photographic impressions upon marble
has recently appeared and is said to
give very fine results, says the Scien-
titic American. The surface of the
marble is well smoothed but not pol
ished. Upon this is spread a layer of
the following mixture: Benzine, 500
grammes; turpentine, 500 grammes;
bitumen, so grammes; beeswax, 5
grammes. This layer is allowed to
dry, and the gelatine surface of the
Photographic plate is then applied and
an exposure of 20 minutes made by
sunlight. After removing the plate,
wash with gasoline, which takes off
that part of the varnish which has not
been acted upon by the light. and the
image gradually appears. The action
of the gasoline is stopped at the desired
point by washing in a stream of wa
ter. The surface thus prepared is
plunged into an alcoholic solution of
Prussian blue, eosine red. etc. When
the color has penetrated by capillary
action. the layer of varnish is taken off
and the surface of the marble finely
polished. In this way a permanent
image of fine color and great depth is
obtained.

warned by a Mocking Bird.

A mocking-bird with military tastes
is described by correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle, London, writing from
Ladysmith during the siege. He says:
"While Putting Billy was firing tried
to get sight of small mocking-bird,
which has learned to initiate the warn
ing whistle of the sentries. In the Cor
dons the Hindu Purriboo-Singh, from
Benares, stands on a huge heap of
sacks under an umbrella all day and
screams when he sees the big gun fash.
But in the other camps, as have men
toned. a sentry gives warning by blow
ing a whistle. The mocking-bird now
sounds that whistle at all times of the
day, and, what is even more perplexing,
he is learning to initiate the scream
and buzzing of the shell through the
air."

TAMALES AND BUZZARDS.
Aew, According to Belief, One Pro-
tects the Mexican from the
Other.

"Down in my section of the United
States there is much to interest an
observing man. said Alfred j. Smith,
Of Nogales, Ariz., to a Washington
Star man, "but there are two things
which you don't have here which play
an important part in the everyday
life of a portion of the inhabitants,
and for the sake of brief description
I will designate them as buzzards and
tamaleS.
"The Mexicans are inordinately
fond of red peppers. They grow to
enormous size, compared to those you
see here, and in the houses and to
the caves of the porches of every Mex
lean habitation, be it ever so humble
in MEXICO, Arizona and California, one
will observe strings of this brilliant
red continent hanging with the ends
of the sta4K twisted into braids.

pers with his food with a LAWS mess
indicating his extreme fondness for
its hot, burning flavor, and in a man

Now for the buzzards. These just

AMERICAN SOLDIERS WIVES.
They Must Wait Long, Weary Weeks
for Letters from Their
Loved Ones.

Yet, terrible as war is, with it's
weary marches, battles, sickness,
wounds, slaughter, death, and know

all, yet, l repeat, my heart sheds not
its keenest blood of sympathy for
him, writes Mrs. U. S. Grant, in Har-

he leaves behind-the woman whose
province it is to wait, and who, in
lures of a lost soul-to whom my
keenest sympathy cries out. There
are no drawer women in the world to-
day than the wives of our army Off

wooden jacket can ache as piercingly

for them, no loved one too dear to

Six seemingly interminable weeks
must elapse before letter from the

NOT Their FAULT.
Street Inspector Boyle Tells
Why the Thoroughfares
Are Dirty.
DEPARTMENT HAS NO FUNDS
Doing the Best Possible on an
Almost Exhausted
Appropriation.

Andrew ]. Boyle, Street Inspector, has a
reasonable excuse for the deplorable cons
dition Of Jersey City's streets as set forth
in The Jersey City News" last evening.
He admits that some Of the streets are in
the condition complained OF and says that
/ 1T is due to the fact that the appropria-
tion for street cleaning is almost exhaust
ed The street cleaning department, he
said, is doing the best that could be possi-
bly, done under the circumstances.
The fact is the appropriation is nearly
exhausted" said Mr.. Boyle this morning;
and there has been no real cleaning to
amount to anything in the past two
weeks. We have hardly enough money
left to remove the garbage until the CON
tract expires December l. We are trying
to keep clean Newark avenue from Bruns-
wick to Warren streets, and Montgomery
street from Warren street to Exchange
place; Exchange Place and Hudson,
| Green and Washington, from Grand street
| to the Pennsylvania Railroad 1t was IN
possible to keep the east side of Warren
| street clean because it had been torn up
| to lay water pipes. The west side, how
ever. was kept clean.
Montgomery street, from Henderson to
Warren, has been kept clean, and so has
| Grove street, from Grand street to the
Erie Railroad. Pavonia avenue should be
cleaned every night between Erie and
kelso streets, but owing to lack of funds
| we have only been able to clean 1t four
! times In two weeks. With the asphalt
streets we have done the best we could un-
der the circumstances. On account of the
falling leaves at this time of the year,
those. streets should be cleaned every
day, but owing to lack of funds we
have been able to clean them only about
| twice week. On the down town asphalt
! streets we have men all the time. The
practice of putting paper in ash barrels, of
which the Womans Club complained to
| Chief Murphy the other day, greatly re-
tards us in our work. The paper blows
out OF the barrels and litters the streets,
and it is so bulky that it fills our carts
more than ashes do and delays us in COL
| lecting the garbage

UNSANHARY BUILDINGS.
Grand Jury Will Advise New
Freeholders to Attend
to County Struc-
lures.

The September term Grand Jury before
its discharge by Judge Blair yesterday
afternoon, listened to remarks by Fore
man George F. Smith in relation to the
unsanitary condition of the different
county institutions under control of the
Board of Freeholders and the danger to-
the inmates in the event of a fever at
the Snake Hill asylum.
Director Frank McNally, who was at the
Freeholders office, was sent for and ques-
toned as to the reasons for the objections
able conditions which the members of the
Grand Jury had discovered on the occas-
ion of their recent visit to the Jail and
Snake Hill institutions. He admitted the
existence of the evils complained of and
CLAIMED the only reason that they had not
been remeded was the insufficienty of the
funds available for the purpose.
Foreman Smith then called attention to
the fact that there was only one physician
the Superintendent, DR.. George w. King,
to attend nearly 800 patients at the county
insane asylum. He asked Director Nc
Nally if he did not believe that at least
one additional physician should be en-
ployed. Mr.. McNally acknowledged the
nedd, but said that the present condition
of the appropriation would not warrant
the employment of another physician.
Foreman Smith said that the Grand
Jury's investigation of the Jail had re-
vealed condition highly COMPLIMENTARY
to the management of that institution by
Sheriff Ruempler and Warden Sullivan,
but that the sanitary condition of that in
stitution was a disgrace to the Board of
Freeholders. The same. he said, was true
of the Almshouse and Penitentiary.
At the Asylum, he said, there was great
danger to the inmates in the event of a
fire breaking out.
AT the conclusion of the informal talk
Foreman Smith was requested by his as
Sociates to prepare a communication to
the Board of Freeholders calling attention
to the condition complained of and recon-
mending that the new Board take i'm
mediate action to remedy the same.
Indictments were found against John
Dunn, Patrick Mannix and John Callahan
who were arrested in Bayonne last spring
charged with the larceny of junk from
the Central Railroad Company.
This is the case which led to the rup-
ture between the last Grand Jury and the
late Supreme Court Justice Lippincott.
The failure to find an Indictment by that
body resulted in a vigorous charge by the
Court and sensational Developments were
threatened when the Grand Jury came
into court and asked to be discharged.
Justice Lippincott's sudden death put an
end to the incident.
The case against the Arlington Repub-
lican primary election officers charged
with criminal conspiracy in refusing to en-
roll certain persons who presented them
selves, was thrown out for lack of suff1-
cient evidence.

MISS BROWNS LECTURE.
Oxford Past and Present Des-

Yesterday.

Miss Helen Dawes Brown gave a very
interesting lecture before the College
colored buildings in preference to the more
day afternoon in the Bergen School for
Girls, No. 107 Belmont avenue, on "Ox-
ford, Past and Present"
Miss Brown spent come time at Oxford
studying and gave many interesting per-
sonal "reminiscences. She drew the COM
parison between the original Oxford, with
its one or two buildings. and the Oxford
of today, with it's myriad edifices She
said she liked the old white stone, ivy
colored building in preference to the more
modern red brick edifces.
The Oxford past" said she, islands
there still, loved by all, admired for its
architecture, its drives and the grouping
of its colleges. as beautiful and natural
as the trees of nature
She dwelt for few moments on the
situation and its beauty of green fields,
trees and flowers, back in the mediaeval
days when it was considered healthful
enough.
But now, continued she, ''at the end
of the nineteenth century one manages to
i've IN oxford only by going away from
1t every one in a while The climate is
trying, but the middle ages were superior
to these surroundings
Among the new innovations mentioned
was the Don spinning along on a
Wheel" and the young women in pink
blouses and sailor hats who do not com
bine with the antiquity of the place. .
and the "up-to-dateness with which every
subject is treated
Miss Brown traced the history of the
college through its various changes. Its
original founder was not known 1t
probably began informally with a number
OF students who did not wish to link
themselves with a monastery and since
mostly by rich clergymen without heirs
Thus it had lost its democracy and free
dom OF early years. 1t was most pros
porous in the fifteenth and sixteenth cen
tury, in the Elizabethan days. The bells
OF Oxford, (which make music on every
day but Sunday, when they all clash and
clang at once,' were described as we'll a
number of other points of interest in
and about Oxford
The white stone, the speaker thought,
gave to Oxford rather a more picturesque
appearance than 1t deserved. The stone
is poor and makes the college look older
than 1t really is. The gardens of New
College were beautifully described with
the comment, And yet New College new
er had poet"
This lecture was given by the club in
order to raise funds for the college course
OF young lady whom the club is send
ing to Barnard. 1t is probable that sew
eral entertainments or lectures of a like
nature will be given during the social
season, that the club may not only send
one, but two or more girls to college.
