ron ANOTHER MONUMENT.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, who made his
millions By manufacturing iron and
steel. and who is giving hundreds OF
: thousand OF dollars in elevatlng and
better eoaipping his iellow-man for
the r,.ce of life, might honor himself
and the great industry he represents
by erecting suitable monument at
Ciermana to those noble German pio-
neers of the iron industry on this
continent. who opened and operated
the first mine on this side of the
broad Atlantic. This mine was opened
ON thelands of Governor Spotswood,
on the Rapidan river, some twenty
miles above fredericksburg, in the
year 1T14.
The impression was made in some
A&y that these Germans landed in
ountry in restitution, and, being
to pay their passage, it was
' seSsSIsi sssisill y = i r
te saRs51ssfanding that they were to
u - Il ont. which made them serv-
ants of the gallant founder OF the
orIero Of Knights OF the Golden Horse
shoe But that this impression is
oronoous il a wellsettled historical
fact. They were not paupers and
did, come to this country as adven-
turers. They were skilled mechanics
and came here at the invitation and
nnder the advice of Baro. de Graffen-
reid. a particular friend of Governor
sDotswood. to open and work mines
on lands Just purchased by the Gov
ernor. They came also with the com
mepdation OF the King to their EN-
ployer. who spoke highly Of their
skill and industry. They came from
the town of Musen, which was then
in the old province OF Nassua-Siegen'
Westphilia, where iron mines we're
opened in the early part OF the four
tenth century and have been oper-
atedcontinuously to the present time.
They were picked men for a special
purpose, to do that which no one
then on this side Of the water could
do-manufacture iron and steel-anu
their labor and their success honored
Governor Spotswood with the proud
title of the Tubal Cain of America.
These Germans did two things,
either one Of which should perpetuate
their memories in this country for all
time TO come. They laid the founda-
ton for the German Reformed Church
in the United States, and also the
iron an5 steel INDUSTRY, which no"
rie1tires hundreds Of millions OF dol
lars to carry on successfully, and the
foundation OF both Of these was laid
at Germana, SpOtsylvanf3 county
Surely the names and memories o.
these noble pioneers of this gigantic
!, industry and God-iearing men should
' : psrpetuated and handed down 70
!, ,,;ture generations, and we know 81
one upon whom this duty and
litigation come with more weight
&c favorable consideration than
cepn Mr.. Carnegie, who has succeeded
= developing the industry into what
Eis at the present day. Awordfroln
Nr. Carnegie and the memorial shalt
appropriately inscribed, will stand
forth as a just and beautiful tribute
to these noble men whose descendants
are yet among us, filing high posi-
tions il the Army and Navy as wei
as in State and Church.

Coming Big Races for Next Tuesday

Coming Big Races for Next Tuesday
 Evening.
 In point of importance, the next race meet to be held at the Coliseum on Tuesday, August 18th, is bound to at- tract a large gathering of cycle fans. Outside of the professional champion ships, the meeting of the best simon pure products of the country is gener- ally looked upon with keen interest. By sanction of the N. c. A.. Manager Fred Voigt has been able to secure the date on which the half and two mile events, which will decide who is the premier pedal pusher in the amateur ranks. A race behind the motor ma- chimes for fifteen miles will give those who follow the "choo-choos'' an oppor- tunity to show their mettle and to the winner of this contest will also go a medal emblematic of the champion ship.
 While the motor paced race will un- doubtedly add novelty to the meeting, it will be in the outcome of the half and two mile scrambles that interest will be the most striking, for among the entries are Marcus Hurley, the present title holder; E. R. Potter, the Yankee" Whirlwind, of Boston: Teddy Billing ton, the Pride of Vailsburg," and Fred Ernst of Rochester. These riders are the cream of the amateur ranks, and while Hurley apparently figures to have a slight margin, it is by no means cer- tain the red-topped New Yorker will score victories in both these events. Ernst has a mighty sprint, so have Bill lington and Potter and it would not be surprising if either of these boys led the champion over the tape at the finish of the races.
 A ten mile open in which all those with championship aspirations will compete is also down on the card.
