MEETING SUCCESS
Miss Alberta Converse Achieving Fame
in the East.

The dramatic news of eastern dailies
contain fattering notices of the sue
cess of young lady of whom all Os-
kaloosa is proud, and who is said to
be doing excellent work in the Robert
Downing Company again this season.
Miss Alberta Converse at the open
ing of the season entered Stock
Company in one of the largest play
houses in San Francisco. A series of
misfortunes seemed to pursue this
company, and with the death of the
manager, the young lady returned to
the east and accepted fiattering
offer from Mr.. Downing with whom
she scored 80 great a success last
season. The company is working to
the west and it is possible that Mr..
Downing, supported by Miss Converse
and Harrison J. Wolfe, will be seen
on the local stage before the close of
the entertainment season. The Col
umbus Evening Press has this para
graph about Miss Converse:
"of the supporting company, Mis-
Alberta Converse, as "Neodamia, -
the daughter of Nero, presented a
strong Interpretation of that sweet
and winsome character. Her intoua-
ton was splendid and she read her
lines admirably. She is strikingly
beautiful woman, as graceful as could
be and captivated her audience"

Monument to MaUry.

\ Paris cablcgram to the New York
Herald says that Thursday night in Il
lecture at the SOrbonne. DR. Bergeret,
professor OF terrestrial Physics" in
that institution, made proposition to
erect an international monument to
Commodore Matthew +. Maury, the
pioneer OF modern meteorology and
hydrography. -
DR.. Bergeret gave excellent reasons for
his proposition lie alluded in enlogistic
terms to the valuable services OfCommo-
dore Matthew +. Maury to science and
especially to navigation. lie was a
pioneer in that field of research and all
his theories worked out in practice TO
the great benefit Of commerce. Nayiga-
ton was made safer and the time re-
qured for crossing the oceans. both the
Atlantic and the Pacific, was reduced one
half The speaker made this significant
statement, that the economy in nayiga-
tion resulting from the use OF Maury's
charts had amounted to a saving ofthree
hundred million francs year. The prop
osition of DR.. Bergeret was received with
enthusiastic appreciation by his audience
of five hundred scientists IL il 10 be
hoped that the matter will not drop
there, but it il "A regrettable TACT that
Maury il honOred more abroad than at
home. There il no monument to his
memory in bis native country, and yet
no scientist oi modern times has confer
red greater benefits on the civilized
world by his scientific achievements.
During his lifetime he received full recog-
milton in Europe, but in his own country
his claims have been neglected. The rea-
son il not far to seek Like General Lee,
he thought it his duty to east in his lot
with his native State and enlist in the
service of the COnfederacy. Some years
ago il was proposed abroad to erect an
International monument to the memory
of this distinguished Virginian, but the
proposition was received in the United
States. not only with cOldness, but with
positive disapproval, and the whole plan
was abandoned. We can but hope that
the present effort will not meet a similar
fate. Time enough has elapsed since
1860 for the passion Of the Civil war
period to cool down and for even Union
veterans to be willing to do justice to
the memory OF one Of the worlds bene-
factors who chose to side with his own
State against the Union. 1t is eminent
ly proper that the civilized world shall
unite in doing honor to one whose Dene-
factions were not confined to his native
land. but the country that gave him
birth should be the first to erect mOnu-
ment to his memory. Some years ago
Congressman Palmer of Massachusetts,
rose above ectional preiudices and pro-
posed the erection OF a national memorial
to Maury at the Rip-Raps, in his native
State. where it would he e-yisible to all in,
coming ships, but the proposition came
to nanght because the North was
not ready to honor one who had
