f MONUMENT BEAUTIFUL
SIGHT AFTER DARK.

Zone of the most artisticallv
decorated points OF interest in the
city during the present reunion has
been the Lee Monument and statue ut
Lee Circle. Capt. I. J. Woodward,
to whose lot az Il member of the
reunion committee fell the work of
| electric illumination of the various
| prominent places Of special interest,
has done his part well particularly in
| the care of Lee Monument
The decorating committee arranged
the bunting and flags about Che base
of the great SHIFT. which is topped
with the figure of the immortal
Commander of the Confederate army,
and right tastefully it has been done,
too. But to Capt Woodward fell the
work of illuminating the shaft and
statue, q task decidedly difficult of
accomplishment, because Of the height
and circumference of the shaft Des-
pitc this fact. the electric decorations.
the artistic illuminations. were
arranged in place, and Tuesday night
and last night the shaft. and statue
attracted many persons to Lee Circle
From base to cap shaft is twined
spirally with alternate and continuous
strings of red and white. .inca,uiesccnt
sixty candle power lights. At the
feet of the heroic image of the great
general is wreath of green lights.
in the center of which is monster
engraving. bust picture Of Gen. Lee
which shows. plainly Ffrom long
distance. Viewed from Union and
st. Charles streets the :, monument
presents II truly beautiful sight. the
lights blending admirably.
II was found when the lights in
the garlands twined around the shaft
were lighted Tuesday night that the
statue of Gen. Lee could not be seen,
the weather beaten bronz being cast
in shadow. Capt Woodward
happened to mention this fact to DR.. |
Charles Il. Mayer, who lives just at !
Lee Circle at 9l9 st. Charles street,
and that gentleman kindly volunteered
to permit Il search light to be turned
on the statue. from the front gallery |
of his residence, which faces the !
statue. Last night the penetrating |
rays Of the powerful search light |
were turned ON the statue, and the
effect was magical. The powerful
light brought out every line and
shadow of the majestic figure of the
South's adorned leader as they have
never before been brought out. The
truly magnificent decoration attracted
crowds which packed the circle and
the sidewalks for many blocks down
the several streets leading to the
circle. The expressions of appre
citation of the splendid illumination
heard on cveryi side were inumcrable.
Lee Monument truly is one of the
(which no visitor to the reunion
should miss, especially at night. The
electric illumination il the work Of
the Commercial Electric Company =
Times Democrat.
The work was done by the CONNER
cial Electric Co., of New Orleans,
of which Mr.. Walter M. Gates,
formerly of our city il the president.

TO HAVE MS NAME IN EvERyBOOyS MOUTH

TO have HIS NAME IN EVERYB0DYS MOUTH
is surely aconsummation devoutly to the
coveted by the ambitions merchant.
How easy of accomplishment, too. For,
cannot the most insignificant firm enjoy
such distinction by merely stamping it's
name on tooth picksp For us, however,
no such course is called for. The fame
of OUR offerings renders such an exped-

The lemming (Myodes lemmus), Of
which pair may now be seen in the
Geological Soclety's small mammal
house, has not been exhibited in the
menagerie for long time. This crea.
ture, which occurs in Norway In far
greater numbers than any other rodent,
is remarkable for its peculiar migra.
tory habits. At certain times vast
swarms of them descend from the
mountains and, overcoming every OBJ.
stacle on land and swimming rivers and
lakes, travel in n straight line for the
sea, into which they plunge and ara
drowned. Closely related to the voles,
the lemming is not unlike a small
marmot in appearance. 1t frequents
swampy ground, but selects the dry
spots to make the shallow burrow it
lives in. 1t Is Il curious fact that, ex.
cept when migrating, 1t shows rather
an aversion TO water. The lemmlng
Is courageous little creature and
evlnces great excitement Mt the sight
OF an intruder. sQueaking and grunting
after the fashion Of the guinea pig. It's
food consists of grass. moss and all
kinds of roots. 1t is probable that tia
extraordinary migrations are brought
about by scarcity of football Mall

The Governor of the Island OF ST
Helena shows in his annual report, just
issued In London, that while the pres
ence of the Boer prisoners improved
the financial status Of the island, It in.
creased the cost of living and the
rate Of wages. The island, too, was
deforested, owing TO the heavy call
made for wood fuei for the prisoners
and troops. Large numbers of the
laboring class. the report continues,
have emigrated to South Africa;
should considerable emigration take
place, 1t would quite paralyze any pro-
gress in public works being made" In

MISERY'S MILLIONS.
Lost Lcgions of "thc Great Abyss" In
London.

Lost Lcgions of "the Great Abyss" In
London.
London's wealth is ever before us.
It takes care that it shall be. But
Lmdon's poverty is hidden away in
vast areas of agony with which rank
and wealth and fashion are as unfa-
miliar as they are with Franz Joseph
Land or Central Africa. The moment
that small contingent from the mean
streets of working-class London reveals
itself to the eyes of the West there is
an cutlery. Fashion turns shhddering
away, and complains of the men with
the begging boxes; wealth buttons it's
pockets, and calls upon the authorities
to withdraw their countenance and
the bodyguard of police from "a pack
Of imposters." And Fashion and
Wealth are perhaps wise in their pro-
test. II these unemployed workers are
allowed to parade in search of SYM
patty, we may one day see all the lost
legions of 'the great abyss" crawling
forth from the alleys and the slums
to give the West an object lesson In the
poverty that the great city hides away
in It's hooks and crannies. The women
and the children. the one-room helots
of unspeakable slums. the diseased and
desperate outcasts of our great guilt
gardens, may form up in one mighty
mass Of misery, and surge into the
crowded thoroughfares and aristo-
cratic streets, which Fashion regards
as its own.
Picture, If You can. London given up
FOR one day, not TO the gay pageants
which on great occasions gladden. our
eyes and make our hearts swell with
pride at the vastness of our empire and
the splendor of our court, but to
dead march OF London's lost ones.
Crowd balcony and windows with rank
and the middle class well-to-do, give
to the fair maidens and matrons who
lead n life of pleasure and of ease the
front places on the line of route. Then
let the millions of Misery Land creep
byl Such spectacle, IL It could be
arranged. would be n revelation which
would shock the national conscience
as It has never been shocked before.
From the windows and the balconies
the women of luxury would shrink
back trembling. white-faced, terrified.
And the men. the busy gatherers of
gold and the idle squanderers of II,
would feel shame that no written
story Of the city's want and woe has
ever made them feel before. Even as
one pictures what such n scene as this
procession would mean, one feels the
horror of it. For the comfort of the
prosperous citizen. that sort Of thing
must be kept within it's own area. to be
looked upon only by those who are of
the company of woe.--Men and Women.
