A VERY FINE JOB.

Eugene Sullivan has just completed
what is undoubtedly one of the best
Jobs of fine stone carving that was
ever sent from Barre. 1t is the floral
Celtic cross that will top monument
be has just cut for the O'Sullivan
Brothers OF Providence, R. l.
The cross stands six feet high with
the side arms in proportion. The
chief feature of the cross is the flow
erS that are strewn over the face of
the cross as if thrown upon it. At the
centre of the cross with the "H' a
the intersection Of the arms are the
three letters, 81. Fl. S." The flowers
represented are roses, plnS.es morn
ing glories, get-me-nots, marguer
ties and lilies. The tl)werS are as real
as life, and if they could only be paint
I'd il would not be imagining anything
say they were real and had just been
placed there.
This cross will stand on plinth on
which is cut the harp and shamrocks
so dear to every true Irish heart. II
will be twenty-five feet above the
ground.
The cross is cut from the very best
light Barre granite from Mari & Cor.
don's quarry. There will be only one
dark stone in the entire monument. a
stone from MARI s. Gordon's dark
quarry.
The monument will be erected in a
cemetery at Providence, r. l., where
it will be surrounded with work cut
at Westerly, r. l., but the people
purchasing it need have no cause IT,
feel ashamed Of it as it will more thar
compare favorable with any monu
ment now cut.
Mr.. Sullivan may not be the manu-
acturer who cuts the largest jobs,
out certainly none cut any tiner work
than he. Thus when he says that thi.
monument is the BEST ever sent out
from this city, it is pretty safe to say
ne knows what he is talking about.
IL will be photographed at once and
will be shipped neat week.

OF the many protests that have been

scheme for giving a bounty TO the

out how the bill eyades its ostensible

The first general order issued by
the War Department in execution
Of the provisions Of the army re-
organization act directs the dis.
continuance OF the sale Of beer,
wine and Intoxicating liquors on
all military reservations and army
transports, The order was issued
Monday and is very terse and con-
else in its terms.
Section 38 of the act is repeated
in the order as follows:
THE sale Of or dealing IN, beer, wine
or Intoxicating liquors, by any person in
any post exchange or canteen or army
transport or upon any premises used
for military purposes by the United
States, is hereby prohibited. The
Secretary OF War is hereby directed to
carry the provisions OF this section into
full force and effect
he order then proceeds as fol-
lows:
Commanding officers will immed.
lately carry the provisions of this law
INTO full force ard effect and will be
held strictly responsible that no excep-
tions or evasIons are permitted within
their respective jurisdictions"
All the existing regulations Tor
the government of post exchanges
are incorporated in the order, but
are amended in each instance so
as to meet the statutory prohibit
ton against beer. wine and in
toXicating liquor"
Although the order makes no
special reference to the military
reservations at Fort Monroe, Va,
and w st Point, N. Y, it is stated
at the War Department that under
the terms OF the law it will be
necessary to discontinue the sale
OF all Intoxicating liquors on those
reservations as we'll as on other
"premises used for military Pur-
Doses," and that the bars in the
Chamberlin and Hygeia hotels at
Fort Monroe and in the hotel at
West Point will have to be closed
at once.

Expansion In Expenses.

Since Mr.. McKinley's Admins
tration began the annual army ap.
preparation has increasedover four
fold. 1t was Ss3, 900 900 for the
year in which he was inaugurated.
For the current year it exceeds
SII4,ooo 900. The passage Of the
pending Army bill will make this
fourfold increase OF military ex-
penditure permanent.
The naval appropriation for the
year 1897, when Mr.. McKinley's
term began, was $50, 500. 900, using
round figures. For the current
year it Is over sos 600, 900, so that
our naval expenditures are over
twice as large now as when Nc
Kinley was inaugurated. And
that increase is also permanent.
The river and harbor approprla-
ton for the last year before Me-
KinleY became President was a
little less than $4,000, 900. The
river and harbor appropriation
now pending in the Senate and al
ready passed by the House is
nearly 500, ,ooo, 900 almost four
times as large.
All along the line there has been
an increase in the cost oil govern

relation to US that the TransVaal

foreigners, and their property is
taxed for the support Of the Gov
ernment, some of whose officials

principally because the facts are not
