TO HONOR wHITNEY's WORE.
A Proposition to Erect a Monument t
 Great Inventors Memory.

A Proposition to Erect Monument to
 Great Inventors Memory.
 An organization originating in Geor- gia proposes to 'perpetuate the men- ory of Eli Whitney by converting into an elegant country club the scene of his fruitful labors." This scene, says the Chicago Chronicle, Is said to be on Rocky Creek. some four miles from Au- gusta, Ga.
 An, article from the Augusta Her aid, which is sent out by the club as a circular. remarks that it is a source of great pride to the people of Augusta 1 that the memorial to one of the great est benefactors of mankind is to be To- cated here'' Whitney was, indeed, one of the greatest benefactors of man. | kind.
 l Robert Fulton declared that Ark wright, Watt and Whitney were the l three men who did most for mankind of any of their contemporaries, and Lord Macauley said: What Peter the l Great did to make Russia dominant Eli Whtney's invention of the cotton gin has more than equalled in its re- 1 lation to the power and progress of the United States.
 The invention, in fact, did more than | all others combined to place cotton 1 fabrics within reach of the poorest the | world over. It made the work Of one person equal to that of 200 before the i invention in separating the fiber of the great American textile staple from the l seed.
 It is all very we'll for Georgia peo- ple to recognize the great services of Whitney to mankind, and especially to our cotton states. But it is proper to say that they will not perpetuate his memory by building a club house on the spot where he labored and where l the fruit of his labors were stolen, 1 South Carolina voted Whitney $5o,oOO | and paid it after much litigation | North Carolina voted him percentage l for the use of each saw for five years, and honorably collected and paid over tho money. Tennessee made a simi- lar promise, which it did not perform. If does not appear that Georgia ever did a thing to be proud of for the in- ventor.
 Whitney spent all he got from the carolinas in a fruitless effort to secure his just dues under the patent laws and finally abandoned the effort as fu- tile. His labors were wonderfully fruit full. but he did not enjoy any of the 1 fruit except fame His memory VIII he nerpetuated when the club house is reduced to mold While it lasts 1t will serve to perpetuate some memories which do not minister to pride.

Great Labor Trouble Will be Felt in
 New Britain.
 New Britain. July 4.-Fhe strike among the steel workers is perhaps looked upon with more concern by the local manufacturers than the machin- ists' strike at home. If the steel plants should be seriously tied up it will great ly affect the calrmanufacturers. The Stanley works does an immense busl- ness in cold rolled steel. Hot rolled steel is brought here by the trainloads and made into cold rolled. In the last six months this concern has sold to other concerns 500,000 pounds, besides using about two thirds as much in its own manufacture. There is also a large amount of waste.
 Among the local customers of the concern are Russell & Erwin, P. x F. Corbin, Traut &, Hine, North x Judd and National Spring Bed companies. These and others secure more or less of their supply of steel from the stan ley works,

BENEDICT ARNOLD RELICS.

Diver Secures Cannon Balls in Lake
 Champlain.
 J. G. Falcon, Chicago diver, has just made the greatest find of relics ever known on Lake Champlain. He visited the spot where the schooner Royal Savage, commanded by General Benedict Arnold, was sunk in 1776 by the British. He secured three gun car riages and about thirty cannon balls and shot. Two of the former will be sent to the Smithsonian Institute at Washington, D. C., and the other has been given to the city of Burlington The relics were discovered in thirty feet of water and the diver spent about two hours on the spot. The carriages are made of oak and iron, the former material now being petrified. The ironwork is covered with punches of rust some of them being as large as a mans fist. MT Falcon intends to make further investigations, and hopes to discover some of the cannon and treasure that were supposed to have been on the ship. The discovery is valuable from an historical standpoint. At the time the schooner was sunk, Arnold's private papers were lost. and it is hoped that they may be found.

sCOvILL COMPANY SUED.

Damages of S5,000 Are Asked for the
 Drowning of Three-Year- Old Gather
 inc Norton
 Waterbury July 4.-Suit was brought yesterday by Thomas Norton, adminls- trator on the estate of Catherine Nor ton, vs. the Scovill Manufacturing com pany to recover $5,000 damages for the death of the plaintiffs intestate
 The suit is an interesting one. Cath erine Norton, for whose death the plain- tiff sues, was a little girl three years old and together with some other chll- dren three years ago last May climbed through the fence about the Scovlll Manufacturing company's property and going several hundred feet fell into the company's mill race and was drowned. It is claimed by Attorney ONeill, who brings suit for the plaintiff. that the company was negligent In not su1l- ciently guarding the ditch so that the accident could not have occurred on the ground that the law compels owners or property to take necessary precautions to protect dangerous pitfalls on their premises.
 It is the further contention of the plaintiff that the child herself was not negligent, her tender years being sutfi- cient to excuse her from that proper care which is expected of adults and Of all fault which would be imputed to an older person thus trespassing on the property of another.
 The suit is returnable to the Septem- Der term of the superior court in this rity
