ment. 1t is dedicated to the memory OF
Jgesus Christ and is the only one of it's
kind in the United States. The shaft
is constructed of a glossy white
enameled brick, about 10 feet in height
Extending from the center to the top
is a niche with a background of brown
enameled brick and inside this mag
nificent life-size figure of Christ in
marble has been placed. The figure
was cut in Carrara, Italy. Beneath the
figure is an inscription.
Near this statue Mr.. Taylor has COM
pleted the base of a $25,0000 monument
commemorative of Gen. Lafayette, the
French patriot and ally of America il
the revolutionary war;
This monument will be nearly so
feet in height, and will be the finest
Lafayette monument in the world.
Surmounting the shaft will be a figure
of Lafayette in military attire. 1t will
face Osborne's hill, where the British
planted their cannon when the battle
opened. The shaft will be of granite,
$50 tons of which were used in building
the foundations. This morning the
cap to the base, weighing $3.50 pounds,
was formally set in position.
About this cap will be life-size busts
of Count Pulaski, Gen. ST. Simons, Gen.
Rochambeau, and Admiral De Grasse,
all of whom were more or less identi-
fed with the Americans in their strug-
gle for liberty.
Thirty feet distant from the Lafay-
cite monument is the third shaft erect
ed by Mr.. Taylor-one dedicated to the
memory of Col Isaac Taylor, his
great-grandfather, who was an officer
in the Continental army under Gen.
Washington.
A fourth monument is dedicated to
Taylor's deceased wife, Hannah Jane
Parker Taylor, and cost $4,000. It IS
built of highly polished granite, and n
large nicher near the top is life size
marble figure, cut from the photograph
of Mr.. Taylors wife and delineating
the character of Sorrow. The figure,
like that of Christ, was cut in Carrara,

CHINESE HOUSES.

In the four cities which make up the
capital, and particularly in the i'm
perial city, live most of the leading
and opulent class, and therefore the
houses are of more important and
solid appearance than is the rule else
where. High brick walls, with
single stone entrance, surround a
multitude of courts, thanked by the
rooted dwelling rooms. 1t is a curious
and universal custom among the
Chinese to put up Immediately facing
the outer door stone or brick screen,
bearing tablets or painted scrools IN
Scribed with the names Of ancestors
or classical texts. The object, accord
ing to time-honored superstition is to
ward off evil spirits, for the demon on
entering knocks his head against the
obstacle, and being devout to all
sense but an elementary hatred OF
mankind, is repulsed and goes away
sorrowful Why the aforesaid demon
should have the cleverness to turn in
at the gate, yet not sufficient to wheel
round the screen, is difficult for the
uninitiated to understand. There is no
attempt at ostentation, or even OF
decent comfort, about these dwelling
places Within they are mere ram
shackIe bungalows, with stone-fagged
floors and paper windows, Realistically
cut up by wooden partitions and
papered without taste or cleanliness.
The furniture is polished wood made in
the stiff square style that is not I'M
familiar Ornaments are few, and Of
the commonest make, while the bronze
vessels to be seen are all modern and
coarse in workmanship.

OF the E. E. troops are within easy call
of the present scene of trouble
The positions of the foreign nations
in China may be summed up thus:
Russia, Germany, France and Italy in
favor of a partition of China; Great
Britain, the United States and Japan
in favor of keeping the empire to-
gether and sharing in it's trade on
equal terms with other nations. But
if it were agreed to partition the
country, Great Britain and Japan each
would demand a large share.

HIS FORTUNE IN MONUMENTS.

West Chester-Down in historic old
Lafayette cemetery, on the heights of
Brandywine battle field and a short
distance from the spot where Gen. La
fayette fell wounded in battle, John G.
Taylor of this town is industriously
engaged in expanding fortune Of
about 100000 in improving the
grounds and in the erection of monu-
ments. Mr. Taylor's avowed purpose
is to spend his fortune on the grounds
in which the bodies of his father.
mother, sister, wife, and child rest, so
that there may be no quarrel over his
estate after he, too, is numbered among
the dead. One morning last week,
with no ceremony whatever, Mr.. Tay-

MEN IN HARD LUCK.
Back From Quarantine With No
Home or Money.


Seventeen well-dressed, respectable
looking laborers and seamen told a
story OF hard luck to the Board Of
Health yesterday afternoon. They were
dodgers at Russian Franks boarding
house until seventeen days ago, when
his place was quarantined and the IN
mates carted with their effects TO the
camp at Kalihi. Their term OF nfteen
DAYS detention expired, they say, on
Saturday, but for some reason they
were kept until yesterday, when they
were discharged TO make the best OF
their way back to the city.
Archibald Mcintyre. VINO made him
self spokesman for the group, said last
evening, We saw DR.. Wood and asked
him for aid. We are penniless and
few have any place TO 90 until WORK
can be obtained. Besides our effects
are at the camp. We could not carry
them back in our arms and We have
no money to send for them. The BOARD
OF Health took them to kalihi, and
asked DR. Wood TO return them, so thai
we might have them IL employment OF
fered. He replied that he had no au
thority to do this and would not create
La precedent.
