just now, and hardly day passes that a
gathering of some sort does not take place
at the grounds. Among the visitors are
those coming from all parts of Connecticut
who are interested in the historic features
of the place. One visitor the other day re-
marked:"1 hardly expected 10 find the place
in such fine shape. L looked for a rough,
rocky and Withholding camp, but instead
find handsome memorial park, with all of
the historic features carefully preserved"
And such is the fact, for the commissions
appointed by the governor from time to
time to have charge of the camp have in
turn done their duty in trying to improve
the place and at the same time not rob II
of any of its historic features These COM
missions have spent the moneys well that
have been entrusted to them in the various
appropriations made by the general assem-
bly,. The grounds were never in prettier
shape than they were when the present
camp commission visited the place recently.
The flowers and foliage looked fresh ard
bright. and the walks and rives were in
good condition. for the keeper and his as
sistants have been busy all the spring.

GEORGE HIS CANNON.
Used as Tools by a Pittsburg Bridge
Company.

From the Pittsburg Leader
From deadly implements of war turned
by the enemy against the sons of the land
in which they have for more than century
reposed to instruments useful in the fur
therance of peaceful pursuits in that same
country is the remarkable transition
through which two large cannon now in
the works of the keystone Bridge Com
pany have passed. Captured, 1t is supposed
by General Gates at the battle of Saratoga.
one Of the most important engagements of
the revolution, the cannon were placed In
the Pttsburg arsenal early in the last CEN
fury and remained there as souvenirs until
1873, when they We're bought by the old
Shiffier Bridge Company and placed In the
mill to be used as compressors There for
almost twenty nine years the old guns have
done service, and no better tools of their
kind could be found.
In a dark corner of the dingy plant hid
den from sight the greater part of the time
by the great weights surrounding them
and smeared with grease and CRIME the old
cannon still retain THEN usefulness and be-
meath all the grease the royal coat of arms
of the proud King George III stand out
the sole reminders of the days in which
they doomed in the service of the king
The royal crest is close to the old touch
holes OF the guns Instead Of powder there
is now inserted in the touchholes Of both
pieces prosaic water pipe that IN no way
seems to belong there.
before DelnS ENLISTED IN the Industrial
service Of the Keystone Bridge Company
the heads of both the cannon were re-
moved, so that they are now open at both
ends. Through the great 16-inch bore
water is pumped and is forced out by long
cylinders that are burdened by 5000 pounds
of steel. This tremendous weight Is re-
leased and, settling the cylinders, forces
them through the bore of the cannon. Be
fore them goes the water that is thrown
through the pipes aginst a machine known
as an upsetter." At the other end of this
machine the IT. bars used in bridge con-
struction are placed and the ends, heated
to white heat, are locked into the ''up-
setter" The force of the water from the
cannon pushes the machine against the end
of the bar and starts the head, that is later
finished In the big 5-ton hammer. Day after
day these huge guns have performed this
humble work, and when one looks at the
proud crest OF the King of England he won
ders if, were they possessed of life, they
would not feel hum Hated at this sad fall
from their former caliing-that of battling
for glory and victory and empire.

SIXTEENTH CENTURY MORGAN.
One of the Greatest Traders That Ever
Lived

From the New York Mail and Express.
The American citizen most talked about
in the world is a phrase that must be rec
ognized instantly as pertinent to j. Pierpont
Morgan. The vogue of that financier has
become International His name has even
been made to contribute verb to the En-
glish vocabulary, since Ito Morganize" has
become in financial vernacular the SYNONYM
OF vast combinations of capital for the con-
troll of transportation by land and by sea-
This American financier presents costly
tapestries to adorn the coronation of Ed
ward VII in Westminster Abbey; and on
another day he hobnobs with Emperor Will
liam of Germany on the imperial yacht in
the harbor of Kiel. During his summer
cruise in the Mediterranean his Corsair may
make able capture as his guests of
many another crowned head But after all
there is nothing new about this.
Antonius Fugger was the plebeian name
that became ennobled because of this sin
gular union of industry, economy, liberaiity
and breadth of view. Antonius and his
brother Raimond extended their commercial
relations far beyond Germany. even it is
recorded, ito all parts Of the civilized
world 1t was in 1880 when the great
monarch Charles V was splendidiy enter
tanned at the house of Antonius Fugger in
Weinmarkt of Augsburg. Tradition says
that the hospitable financier astonished the
emperor Dy using an imperial bond due to
him, as taper for lighting a fire of CHINA
men. 1t may be conjectured that the fam
ing parchment gave forth incense even more
agreeable to the imperial nostrils than the
perfume Of the fragrant wood that it served
to kindle
Another financial anecdote relating to
this medieval financier is that Charles "
when the accounts of the treasury Of France
were exhibited to him. remarked There is
a linen weaver in Augsburg who could pay
all Of this Whether that be true or not
II Is recorded history that Charles V made
over to these brothers the mortgaged es-
tates Of kirchberg and Weissenhorn, Gre
ated them counts and invested them with
the privileges of princely rank. They
loaned the emperor money to defray the
cost of an expedition against the pirates of
Algiers in 1885; and in return he granted
them the privilege Of issuing a gold and sill
yer coinage of their own. 1t does not ap-
pear what ratio these private financiers
| maintained in regulating their bimetallic
exercise of a great public franchise usu-
| ally regarded as an exclusive right Of SOW
| ereignty. But the brothers must literally
| have coined money" for the estate Of An
| tonius, when he died. in 1850, included six
| millions OF geld crowns, besides a vast
| amount OF property of various kinds in
| Europe. Asia and America.

VACATION AUTOMOBILE.
How the Machine Can Be Turned From
a Terror to Usefulness.

from the Brooklyn fAele-
While the rich people keep on using auto
mobiles to run down bicyclists and carriage
drivers, it has remained for a band of gyp-
sizes In Mount Vernon to put the new car
rage to a really sensible service A band
of these nomads is reported to be travelling
in a slow going machine wagon divided into
three compartments, a kitchen, dining room
and sleeping rooma With this vehicle the
owner says he can makeafi fifty miles day.
when he needs to go SO far.
What an impetus that model is bound to
give to summer vacation travel when the
idea becomes better known. The house
boat is the most desirable vehicle so far
devised for an ambt1latory vacation But
the automobile must be much cheaper than
the houseboat, and it will enable its own
ers to move through mountain regions that
they can traverse in no other way SO COM
fortably and so cheaply.,t Driving through
the mountains has long Been held to be an
ideal way to enjoy a vacation. But for a
party of four, which might easily travel in
machine wagon, q driving trip involves
the hire of two horses and the feeding Of
the horses and the party at the wayside
hotels The cost is at least CONNIE nsura te
with the enjoyment and puts driving par
ties out of the reach OF people of moderate
means. But after the first cost of an auto
mobile the expenses of the migratory camp
ing party on 1t would be comparatively
slight; less than board in even a mountafn
farm house, where one is tied down to a
repetition not only Of the same things for
dinner and breakfast, but the same views
at night and morning.
The vacation automobile promises to fill
a long-felt want. II the gypsies hasten it's
coming they will have done at least one
good deed in a naughty world. They need
the credit for that as badly as vacation
seekers need the house automobile.
