OPPOSED TO LEES
STATUE IN CAPITOL
CONGRESSMAN LACEY OF IOWA
WRITES TO @. A. R. CAMP CIV.
ING HIS VIEWS ON THE PRoPos-
Ed GIFT.

Washington, March 2--(speciai)- Repre-
sentative Lacey of Iowa has written q
letter to Capt W. H. H. Asbury OF the
Grand Army of the Republic camp of
that state. protesting against the erection
of a statue of Robert E. Lee In Statuary
hall In the capitol. for which bill is now
pending in the Virginia legislature.
1T do not believe that congress will
ever accept this statue for it ought not
to go in the capitol" says Mr.. Lacey
in the course of his letter. There are
already statues of jefferson, in the capi-
toll, though not placed there by Vir-
ginia, There is none of Madison or Mon
roe. 1 said to one of my Virginia friends
in the house If this statute is erected
that there ought to be inscribed on the
PEDESTAL, as showing the net result
General Lees life, the following DEL
items:
First, one lost cause; second, one great
paternal Lee estate at Arlington turned
into a cemetery and filled with 1900
union dead; third, one grand old state OF
Virginia divided, with her coal and tim
Der land transferred to new state, and
the debts of the Old Dominion still re-
naming.
AS recognition of these results this
monument is erected to the pure-minded
soldier and general, Robert E. Lee. Mr..
Lacey says there must be distinction in
our national capitol between those who
fought for the union anG those who have
fought to destroy it. hope writes he,
that Virginia will recognize the impro-
priety of clarifying the confederacy in
the national capitol"

Helen Gould on Woman's Rights.


A new way of regarding the question of
''woman's rights" so far, at least. as this
country is concerned. and as sensible as
new, was that expressed by Helen Gould
in an address before the National Wo-
mems Auxiliary of the Young Mems
Christian Association, at its recent Wash
ington meeting. I'm the United States"
said Miss Could women are accorded
privileges and opportunities they ars
given nowhere else in the world. They
have greater protection before the law,
and many of them beautiful leisure,
which they highly prize. All these things
have come through the chivalry and the
ardent self-sacriicing labor of our men,
and it seems peculiarly appropriate to me
that we should show our appreciation of
all we have received by devoting some OF
our time and thought to movements that
benefit the men of the country" This is
not a plea, as will be SEEM for the extern
sion of more rights" to women, but a
plea for the women themselves to make
the most and the best of the many priv

try and which women nowhere else enjoy

Dog Pumps His Own Drinking Water.

FROM the PnllaQelpnla RECORD.
A dog that pumps his own drinking
water is one> of the curiosities of Frank
fort. This dog is a Newfoundland and
his name is Jack From the beginning
of his career, water was always given to
Jack in one way-from a basin set under
a pump in his masters yard He was
little more than puppy when his mind
grasped the fact that. the movement of
the pump handle meant water for him.
Accordingly, whenever he was thirsty, he
would take the handle in his teeth and
shake it, barking vigorously. This gave
his master an ingenious idea. The young
man rugged to the handle a kind of pull
ley, with cord hanging from it, and a
piece of broom handle about six inches
long, fastened to the end. To take hold
of this piece of broom handle and shake
1t vigorously caused the rigging to move
the handle up and down and a little
water to flow The first time the dog
saw the dangling wood of a size so at
tractive and so suited to his mouth, he
seized it, and he shook it up and down
and from side to side. About pint of
water flowed into his basin and he took a
drink Ever since, whenever he has been
thirsty, Jack has pumped for himself

600 VACANCIES AT ANNAPOLIS.
Secretary Moody Fears the Academy
Cannot Accommooa e the Number.

Washington, March 2.-Secretary
Moody has discovered that as a result
of new legislation allowing for the re-
tirement of the outgoing class at Annap-
oils there will be 900 vacancies at the
naval academy. 1t is manifestly impos-
sible to provide accommodations for this
number and Captain Brownson, the SUI
perintendent, has been requested to state
the extent of his resources for the com
ing year in the matter of accommoda-
tions.
Meantime Secretary Moody Is working
out scheme whereby representatives
will be able to nominate a candidate each

Clue In Burdick Murder.

Buffalo, N. Y, March 2.-After four
days spent in the investigation of the
Burdick Murder mystery the police
believe they have a tangible theory, in
substantiation of which they are seek
ing evidence. The theory, in brief, Is
that Burdick was killed in the smok-
ing den by a man who appeared sud
denly while Burdick was partaking of
a luncheon with woman in whom the
man was interested. The woman in
the case is believed to have been a
witness to the killing or Burdick by
some man who was jealous of her.

Grounds Bill Cannot Get Together.

Washington, March 2.-(Special)-T
conferees on the part of the senate and
house on the public building and grounds
bill have held several meetings today
without being able to reach an agree
ment The last meeting was held shortly
before midnight, and another effort Is
now being made to get the conferees to-
gether. The main points of difference
is the insistenee of the house that the
senate allow its amendment providing for
original sites to remain In the bill. While
there Is an apparent deadlock on the
committee the managers on both sides
peheve compromise will be reached and
the bill passed before adjournment.
The debate in the senate tonight on
the Aldrich bill seems to foreshadow the
defeat of that measure through n fill
buster on the part of the bills oppon-
ents, who viii evidently not allow a vote
to be reached.

The senate recedes from this amend
ment, leaving the amount as fixed by

the free registration of government
publications also was stricken out. The
amendment permitting the payment OF

eliminated.

city has advanced and a sure founda-
ton has been laid for further advance
ment.
AS for the city itself, great changes
are noted. New buildings have been
erected OF are being constructed ex-
elusive of the many private dwellings.
Among them are the public library,
school No. 6, st. Mary's Roman Gath
Ollie church, home for the Perth Am
boy Trust Company, the magnificent
Hebrew synagogue. The most notable
event in the industrial line has been
the location of the big Cheeseborough

the Roessler & Hasslacher chemical
Works, and the operation of the Bar
bel Asphalt Works. Tho port has
been buster than ever, adding to the
Importance of the place. Perth Am

Tonight the present Board of Alder
men will convene for the last time.
With til. dawning of a new year an
Mother board takes it's seat and will
conduct the city affairs for the next
twelve months. During the year now
closing Perth Amboy has enjoyed
much prosperity and the city has
shown signs of awakening for NUM-
cipal Improvement. The citizens have
been thoroughly aroused for better
paved streets and cleaner thorough
fares. Mass meetings have been held
to consider these matters and the
aldermen have expressed their willing
ness to cooperate, in every way posi-
BILE, to accomplish things. III the
spring Washington street will be paved
from end to end and q sewer will be
laid in Smith street which is simply
the preliminary step for having that
thoroughfare together with State
street, paved. The good work thus
started is bound to go on.
In the water department the strides
have been ever greater. $50, 900 worth
of bonds have been issued and a sec
ond pipe line las been built from the
standpipo at Runyon to the south
shore of the Raritan river. This will
be extended to this city in the spring.
Additional artesiap wells nave been
driven so Mat now eighty per cent of
the wafer used comes from that
source. 1t is probable that before an
other year passes, all the water will
be thus supplied.
The fire department, while as yet
showing no outward signs OF improve
ment, has received attention. Con-
tracts nave been given for new appar-
atus and bonds issued for the erection
of new fire houses. 1t is expected
that these will all be accomplished
before another year closes. The big
relief wer in North Amboy is now
practically completed. This is one Of
the most important works in the city
and means an improvement to an i'm
portant section of the city.
These things have been accomplish
ed during the administration of the
retiring Board of Aldermen. While
the members may not have done as
much as was expected of them and
they may fall short in the expectations
of some, yet it is evident that
