FriendG' Meeting House. Built 1898.
Relic hunters have hacked off much OF
it in their insatiate desire for souven-
IRIS. But the new monument is tall and
perfect, for an iron fence protects il
from the relic hunters.
On the return to town it is well to
stop and look at the old Wynne house.
1t is OFF Montgomery avenue, down a
grass-grown lane, at Wynneheld. and
was built in 1893, and has been in the
Wynnes' possession ever since. Jona-
than Wynne built II; he was a de-
scendant of DIT. Thomas Wynne. the
friend of William Penn. William
George Wynne. a residen. Of Wynne-
field, was born in the house, which
has fallen somewhat into disrepair.
This is a pity, for the historic build
ing, with its thick stone walls, it's lit
tie windows, its beams Of oak and its
huge freplaces, might be transformed
into a residence quite as picturesque
as Penn cottage.

I have an impression that the larg-
est element in our population is Celt-
io and that much the largest religious
denomination in Boston is Catholic.
The precise facts will never be known,
but we do know that Boston preserves
its ancient character and that the
newer elements-Irish, Italian, Jewish.
Russian-seem as anxious to preserve
the Puritan character Of Boston as the
Winthrops and ~santonstalls and the
few descendants left Of the ancient
founders. A visit at the Eliot school
will settle this point. which sociology
may be able 10 explain.-Mayor Hart

Dynamite for stomach Ache.

OF all the strange methods invented
by man to separate him from his
trouble the strangest is that devised
by n Jose Diaz of the City of Mexico.
Jose had a stomach ache. To cure it
he made a bolus Of dynamite and in
serted it in a decorating cap, to
which was attached a thread Of cop
per wire. He swallowed the bolus,
and with the copper wire hanging
from his lips went out to seek an
electrical connection. He met a police
nan first, and under questioning ex-
planned the situation. After an Off
cial consultation Jose was taken into
the suburbs. He was made to lie
down, and a long rope was fastened
to his feet. Then the copper wire was
made fast to a fence, and three police
men at the other end Of that long rope
drew Jose and the detonator apart.
The dynamite remained in his interior
department, however, and Jose is now
stunned as a dangerous character.

Of the East Asiatic railway. One Of
the most %stupendous undertakings Of
modern times, begun with doubts and
misgivings, and carried on despite op-
position and sacrifices, has at last been
brought to a successful issue, with far
reaching results, which will react most
powerfully upon the civilized globe.
For the first time in history, Russia
and the far east are linked together
with bonds OF steel, and Siberia, which
was heretofore the Achilles heel OF
the colossal Slav empire, a sort Of de-
tendency more Of. less outside the pale
Of civilization, Is now become wholly
assimilated to the Cars dominions.

It is a curious fact, but one by no
e astonishing, that until Of late
days a satisfactory explanation Of
sleep and its |causation was hardly to
be met with within the bounds Of phys
biological science. Anaemia of the brain
was regarded as the origin Of our
slumbers, but it became clear that this
bloodlessness was to be regarded rather
as a result of some other and more
primary process than as itself a true
or direct cause of sleep. The theory
has been revived that sleep is due to
the liberation into the blood of certain
substances which are manufactured by
certain glands-these are not defined,
by the way-with the result that our
brain cells are sent doing. Alongside
this view may be placed hat other
which supposed that a greater amount
of carbonic acid gas being produced as
the result Of bodily work-or want Of
elimination of this product being rep
resented-we went to sleep because our
brain cells were thus numbed by the
gas.

INHABITANTS OF TuruILA.

Commander Tniey reports That They
Have Many Good Traits.
While Commander Benjamin F. Til
ley, commandant of the United States
naval station at Tutuila, Samoa, was
in Washington, he submitted to Sec
rotary Long his annual report. He
says that the Tutuilans are a gentle,
kindly, simple-miraed people, and
that the form of government institute
ed by the United States has proved
popular with them. He -recounts the
numerous improvements in the system
Of self-government suggested by the
people and eagerly aged to by them.
Every once in a while says the re-
port, the whole vilsge would make up
its mind to go on a "melanga," or
visiting party. All work would be
abruptly stepped ana an ages and
sexes would start on 4 wandering holl-
day. The spirit Of ~ospitality is cul-
tiyated 70 ~ ex nIUns the nr
tives. and at every Village visited 81
the rovers the hosts felt It their
bounden duty to entertain lavishly.
The visiting party would stay at one
village just as long as their entertain
ers could provide food for them. When
supplies ran out they babe hasty
adieus and moved on to the next vii
lage to be entertained"
Another custom was the bestowing
Of presents Of great value at weddings
and other ceremonies, a practice
which was carried to such excess that
a single wedding often impoverished
a whole village. But much Of these
practices were stopped upon the sug-
gestion Of Commander Tilley.

BEAUTIFUL WORKS OF ART
Elegant Monuments Erected in
the City Cemetery.

A representative of this paper Wis
tied the City Cemetery this morning
and found Mr.. j. +. Wells, of Wa
co, just completing the erection Of
some elegant monuments to mark
the last resting place of some of our
dead. Mr.. Wells represents the
firm of J. w. Gooeh 81 Co, of
Waco, manufacturers of granite and
marble cemetery work. The monu-
ments just erected by Mr.. Wells are
beautiful works of art. The bases
are made Of the famous Texas gran
ite and came from the quarries at
Llano. For beauty and lasting
qualities this granite cannot be ex-
celled. The die caps are made of
Italian marble. One of the monu-
ments erected by Mr.. Wells was at
the grave Of Mr.. Richard Beall,
father OF Hon. J. A. Beall. The
base is 4x6 feet and the monument
around the top Of which is scroll
OF leaves handsomely carved. The
entire burial lot is enclosed in cop
ing and at the entrance the name
"Beail" is cut in the stone. On the
monument is the following inscrip-
tom "a pioneer settler of Texas;
a soldier Of the Confederaey; and
consistent christian"
AT the grave of Mrs. Willie Get
zendaner another very pretty monu-
ment has been erected by this Waco
firm. The monument is of hand
some design, consisting of three
bases, die, cap, plinth, of Texas
granite, and group of statuary. ON
the third base is the name of Mrs.
Getzendaner ia raised letters. On
the die in beautiful, raised letters is
this inscription; 1.-The eternal God
is thy refuge. Z" The cap has oak
leaves carved on front and back.
The statuary was made in Italy es-
peeially for this monument.
This firm turns out nothing but
first class work as is evidenced I'm
the above monuments. The designs
are unique, yet modest, and the
carving and engraving skillfuIly ex-
ecuted. j, w. Neal represents this
firm at Ennis and G.. NJ. Lavender,
of Waco, has charge of the rest of
the county.
