MONUMENT DEDICATED.
Iown Women Remember Jennie
Wade, the Only Woman Killed
in the battle of Gettysburg.

The Iowa members of the Woman's
Relief Corps, Grand Army of the Re-
public, have dedicated monument at
Gettysburg, Pa, erected to the mem
DRY of Jennie Wade, the only woman
killed in the battle of Gettysburg. The
little heroine, who was but 20 years
old at the time of her death, lived with
her mother in a small brick house in
the village of Gettysburg, and she with
her mother and sister were alone In
the house when the battle broke all
around thin. During the first day OF
the fight Jennie spent the whole day
drawing water from we'll with wind
lass and carrying it to the union lines
but short distance from their home,
where she filled the canteens of fight
ing, wounded and dying soldiers. On
the second day she was killed by a
confederate mimic ball. The soldiers
gave her soldiers burial during
lull in the battle, but the grave never
had a suitable monument until the
women of Iowa-at the suggestion of
Georgia Wade Mcclellan, Of Denison,
the sister of Jennie Wade-took up the
matter. The monument unveiled is
figure in white marble representing
Jennie Wade holding cup in her right
hand while from her left arm hang
two army canteens. On the base of the
monument, massive piece of granite,
appears the following:

says Santa Barbara (Cal.) special to
the San Francisco Chronicle, which

that wholesale smuggling of Chinese
from British Columbia into the United
States through Santa Barbara has
been carried on. The revenue officials
were notified several weeks ago and
for three weeks the revenue cutter
McCulloch has been cruising in the
waters OF Santa Barbara channel in
search of evidence. The smuggling
scheme is outlined as follows:
Lumber-laden vessels leave Puget
Sound for southern California points,
and. after getting well out to sea. run
over to Vancouver, b. c., and pick up
Chinese, which are ostensibly shipped
as part of the crew. Some of these
vessels put in to Port Hartford, San
Pedro and other ports with crews
more than twice as large as necessary.
When sailing for the north the crews
consist almost exclusively of white
sailors.
Another method adopted is the land.

NEW DOCKS FOR LONDON.
Ten Million Dollars to be spent in
Providing Adequate Facilities
for Shipping.

In an interview with Journal of
Commerce reporter President Baker,
OF the Atlantic Transport line, an
nounced that plans have been com.
pleted for providing new docking
facilities In London at cost of $10,-
100000 President Baker says in part:
England is far behind America in
its facilities for handling freight,
particularly grain. AT present the
freight is unloaded into barges, then
taken to place where 1t is weighed;
there unloaded, weighed and loaded
on another barge for delivery. The
wharyes are poorly arranged for the
storage of merchandise, and the
warehouses are 40 or so feet from the
edge of the wharf. England's cap
ital is tied up, and is being pressed
by the Americans and Germans. Ow-
ing to the old-fashioned methods it
costs about three shillings per ton to
handle the freight after it arrives in
London, while it only costs one shil-
ling per ton here. The Leyland COM
pany and the Atlantic Transport
company will carry to London $4,000
tons of freight every week, or about
100000 tons a year, and it will be
readily seen that the saving by the
use Of American methods winch we

BIRDS AT WASHINGTON.
Many Varieties Are Found in Numer.
Gus Parks There and Are Studied
by, the Scientists.

Washington doubtless has moro
separate parks than has any other
city of the same area in the world,
and in none of those of the Capital
City is such variety of birds to be
found as in the grounds about the
department of agriculture, the Smith
sonian, and National museum. A
great cherry tree in the grounds
back of the agricultural, when in
fruitage, was visited by hundreds OF
birds from all over the city.
The birds grew SO tame that they
wholly ignored not only the bird-lov-
ing scientists, who stood for hours
during the day watching their fight
back and forth, but also the clerks
who gathered under the outspreading
branches at noontime to enjoy their
basket lunches.
Robins of several varieties hop
close to pedestrians feet, and the
beautiful Baltimore orioles fly almost
upon the heads of the gardeners in
their efforts to pick the seeds from
stray clump of gorgeous sunfow-
ers that stole it's way in among more
cultivated plants Many varieties of
humming birds fit from flower to
flower, while at least 80 other varie-
ties of bird life, including the his
toric old owl of the Smithsonian
tower keep the place lively.
But perhaps the greatest nuisance
that exists from the many birds is
the house-cleaning occasioned by the
pesky little English sparrow. AS one
of the scientists sat underneath a
tree with his face upturned to bird
nest above to which young mother
was making trips every few moments
in her effort to keep four gaping
mouths filed, he Remarked:
'These impertinent little sparrows
are not content with littering up
every nook and corner of the fine old
building (the Smithsonian, but they
must needs bulla their nests In the
electric lights and cause no end of
trouble in cleaning them out every
day or So"

she circulated false and malicious re-

of these accusations he declares that
his wife left him, but after an inves-

false. Still he declares his mother
in-law insisted that his wife should
not live with him, and finally her eff
forts resulted in their separat ton.
For this he demands $1,000 damages.
