To unyeil Valley Forge Monument

Mrs. Mary A. Kent, of Clifton
Heights, Pa, histOrian-general and
Press Committee of the General Society,
Daughters of the Revolution, mas writ
ten the following for the Evening Jour
nal:
An occasion Of patriotic and ma
tional interest Will be the dedication
of the first monument erected to the
heroic dead of Valley Forge by the
General Society, Daughters of the
Revolution.
The unveiling will take place on Oc-
tOber 10, at o'clock p. m, in the pres
ence of a large number of Daughters Of
the Revolution from many States The
President and members of the Cabinet
have been invited, also the governors
of the thirteen original States, the Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, and many dis
tinguished representatives of patriotic
societies. A special train, with re-
duced rates. on the Pennsylvania rail-
road will leave Philadelphia for Betz-
wood at 1890 p. m, and coaches will
be in waiting to convey guests to the
site of the monument. The public is
cordially invited, and those going on
the special train can procure reduced
rates of fare.
This memorial is a handsome obelisk
Of granite, fifty feet high, and at its
base appear two bronze panels, one con-
tanning tine seal of the society, and the
other representing a scene of camp
life at Valley Forge. Above these. the
Original colonial flag, with thirteen
stars, has been carved in the shaft.
The inscription win read "To the sol
diers of Washingtn's Army, who sleep
in Valley Forge, 1777-7S."-
The chairman of the Committee Of
Arrangements is Mrs. Nathaniel
.Seaver Keay, first vice-president Of the
General Society, and State regent of the
Pennsylvania State Society. Miss Ada
line w. Sterling, president general, and
Mrs. Alexander NJ. Ferris, of Massa-
chusetts, chairman of the Valley Forge
fund, will take part in the exercises.
The program will include fine music
and speeches by men Of national re-
pute.
This great work has been achieved
by the society in two years time,
and it is hoped that it may be an in
itial step toward a more fitting COM
memOratiOn and preservation of this
spot, whose historic and national sig
nificance is unique. The beautiful
country chosen by Washington for his
famous encampment lies today in all
most the same primitive condition as
in the winter of '77-'7S, and it seems
the duty of the nation to thus preserve
it, To this end, a bill was presented
to Congress in December last by the
Daughters of the Revolution, asking
for the preservation of Valley Forge
as a national park, and it is hoped
that this worthy project may be real
lied in the near future.
President Mckinley was heartily in
favor Of this work of the Daughters of
the Revolution, and had signified his
Intention of being present at the dedi-
catory ceremonies. He also had prom
ised to sign the bill when passed by
F, Congress.

Clever people the world over are al
ways devising some little thing to add
to womans charms, and here follow a
number of them, gathered from here
and there:
One of the latest is the perfumed
powder for the hair It is imported
from France and comes in small boxes,
and is sold at a rather high price III
is made in different shades TO match the
color of the hair Another prepara-
ton for the benefit of the hair is al
scented water which contains no chem
icals whatever. 1t is said to be dis
titled by Cuban women, from natural
blossoms. In Cuba it may be pur-
chased for a mere song but in the
United States it is found a trihe more
expensive.
The woman who finds her brows
and eyelashes not quite to her liking
can darken them with little perfumed
pencils These come in little silver
holders and are shaded to match the
complexion of the brunette and the
blonde.
When eyes are weary and dim from
gazing too long on the world and it's
vanities. woman fair can refresh them
by bathing with the tiniest and softest
of velvet sponges. With these come
small bottles of rosewater and plain
tain. which is said to have wonderful
properties for making eyes bright.
A good complexion is the first and
chief ambition of every woman who
would be beautiful. The little camels
hair face brush has become therefore
a necessity on every well-regulated
toilet table. They are used for the re
moving of blackheads and other un-
slightly defects. They are made in diff
ferent degrees of finene IS, some being
soft and silky for the very fine skin,
Others being very coarse for the face
which requires a muscular scrubbing
in order to remove the accumulated
dust in the pores.
For the complexion there is no cos
metic to equal rainwater, and the
daily tepid bath should not be for
gotten.
The powder puff as an article Of
MOHluA . AQAaEAlN 10 do dtlEltMl do AAr-
tory. 1t is. however. coming to the
twentieth century maiden in new guise
In its place is now used a velvet pad
or little square of chamois skin. With
this. it is said. she can apply the pow
der more evenly and artistically.
For an oily complexion. orange
flower lotion is a first-rate remedy, and
one that could not harm any skin.
The foundation of this lotion is the
imported orange-fower water. in one
pint of which tablespoonful of epson
salts should be dissolved Add to this
mixture one tablespoonful of witch
hazel. and shake until weJl blended.
Apply this with a piece of soft linen
On a warm day the lotion is extremely
refreshing to the skin.
This is a good tooth powder: Sift
together seven ounces of precspitated
chalk. four ounces of Florentino orris,
three ounces Of bicarbonate Of soda,
two ounces of powdered white CASTLE
soap. and thirty drops each of sassa-
fras and oil of wintergreen. Keep
the powder carefully shut up from the
air in a jar or bottle. It has the de-
sirable effect of hardening the teeth.

REGULAR MEETING
OF COUNCIL
Congregation of Christian Charity Exempt
From Taxation.

The borough council held a regular
meeting Friday eve with President kem-
mer in the chair. The roll was called
when the following members responded:
Kimmer, Dougherty, Goldsmith, Jones,
NJ. D. l.. Sechler, George Sechler, Fet-
terman and Vastine.
James Scarlet appeared before Coun-
Gil in behalf of the Congregation of Sis
tiers of Christian Charity, asking that it
be exonerated from two years tax held
against it, amounting to $l6S. He ex-
planned that the society, whose object
is to establish schools, orphanages, hos
pitfalls and the like, is charitable in
sttution pure and simple and as such
should be exempt from taxation. Even
the Orphanage connected with the
Home, he said is supported by charity,
as the total sum contributed by those
interested in children cared for, repre-
sents only mite from here and there
and on the average does not amount to
more than 90 per month.
On motion of Mr.. Dous usherty, second
ed by Mr. Fetteruian, it was ordered
that the Congregation of Christian
Charity be exempted from taxation.
The fact was reported that par
ties interested hal planted trees in the
road along the Presbyterian cemetery
leading to the Episcopal burying ground,
diverting travel through the common.
On motion of Mr.. Vastine the street
commissioner was ordered to cut down
the trees and otherwise repair the road.
On motion of Mr.. Vastine the cross
ing on East Mahoning street opposite
ST. Paul's M. Z. church was ordered rails
ed and repaired.
The following bills were approved for
payment.

ances and all who could possibly ar.
