MEMORIAL TO JEFFERSON
APPEAL FOR FUNDS ISSUED BY THE
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION.
Admiral Dewey, President of the As
ISOLATION, Outlines Its Plans-Sen-
atOr Fairbanks N Vice President.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The Thomas
Jefferson Memorial Association, organized
for the purpose of erecting at the ma
tional capital an appropriate and truly
national memorial to the author of the
Declaration of Independence" through its
president. Admiral George Dewey, has is
sued an appeal to the American people for
funds to carry out the object of the asso-
citation. The text of the appeal is as
follows:
ITO the American People: The Thomas
Jefferson Memorial Association has been
organized to take up the long neglected
duty of erecting a fitting memorial to the
memory or the man who wrote the Dec
laration of Independence.
I'VE have here beautiful and costly trib-
utes TO the memory OF American soldiers,
sailors. statesmen. physicians. inventors
and philanthropists; and the soldiers and
sailors of France are honored; but there
IS not one tablet TO the memory or that
great American. Thomas jefferson.
I'VE ask the people to contribute accord
ing to their ability TO this memorial
Congress will not be asked for money, as
We rely solely upon the people, the young
and the old, the children and their par
ents. for the success of the movement.
1.-THE character and cost of the proposed
memorial cannot now be stated, but 1t
will be appropriate to the greatness OF the
man and the importance of the document
from which his name Is inseparable. Rigid
economy will be observed in the expenses
of carrying on the work.
Every contributor will receive GER
tificate acknowledging the subscription
and carrying with 1t membership in the
association. In time to come these certiti-
Gates will be badges of honor.
Contributions, checks, money orders or
drafts should be made payable to the order
of the treasurer of the association, Mr..
Jesse b. Wilson, president of the Lincoln
National Bank. The people will be kept
informed of all important actions of the
association. Communications addressed to
the secretary. w. S. Mexican, will receive
prompt and respectful attention.
GEORGE DEWEY,
Admiral of the Navy, President"
The association is now complete in it's
list of officers, every State being represent
ed by vice president and in some cases
by representative on the board of gov
errors, the controlling body. No great
movement of a similar character in this
country, it is claimed, had as it's officers
more men of national character and inf1u-
ence than this organization. Prominent
men from all sections of the country have
become interested in the movement and
have written to the officers Of the associa-
ton expressions of approval. This asso-
citation, 1t is stated, is thoroughly non
partisan, the design being merely to raise
a memorial to Mr.. Jefferson as writer of
the Declaration of Independence. Senator
Charles w. Fairbanks is the Indiana vice
president

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Feb. 1.-The ne
gotiations for a new franchise for the
street-railway company, which were sprung
on the public three days ago with the start
ling offer of the company based on an
alleged cloud in it's franchise of 1883, to
which public question attention had not be-
fore been called, are being carried along in
such swift and smooth manner that few per-
sons now doubt that it had been rehearsed.
Behind the offer of $4,000 to remove the
cloud the company offered $4,000 for
an extension of the franchise from 1888 to
1852, which was readily understood to be
the real occasion for opening the negotia-
tions. Citizens of all classes are asking If
il is possible that the deal is to be rushed
through in less than week of discussion.
On every hand the people are asking if
the city has finally been syndicated in all
things, and many grimly humorous de-
scriptions are made in conversation of the
farce as publicly presented. Two of the
daily newspapers have refrained from ex
pressing an opinion on the situation. The
day following the company's offer the Ga
zette, speaking for the Democratic Board
of Public Works, said the offer should
and will receive the earnest consideration
of the Board of Public Works." but at
the time this was written the board had
made a counter proposition, which APP
peared in another part of the paper. This
proposition for S92. goo in all. most of
1t cash, and payments covering the alleged
cloudy years. This was submitted to the
company within twenty-four hours after the
opening of the subject.
The Express next morning said of its re-
ception by the company that lit will be
considered thoroughly before any further
action Is TAKEN" but the morning paper
was hardly on the street before the COM
pany made a counter-propostion of a to-
tai payment of $4,000. This was yesterday
morning. The guess around town is that
this is the amount that was destined to be
agreed upon, as several expressions in
the beginning indicated.
Everywhere there is decided opposition to
the city selling franchise to begin thirty
five years from now.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Indiana con-
gressmen are ready TO throw up their hands
on the question of supplying their con-
stituents with reports of the Smithsonian
Institution for 1901. a Chicago newspaper
has precipitated regular avalanche of re-
quests on the Indiana representatives. This
newspaper some time ago printed a de-
scription Of these reports and lauded them
highly. 1t was announced that these re-
ports were everybody's book, and that any
one who would write to a congressman
could get one. The truth is that each con-
gresham is allowed but five copies of these
reports and each mans quota has long
since been exhausted. 1t is further an
nounced that these particular reports are
no more thorough than the Smithsonian
reports usually are, and that there is moth
ing extraordinary about them.

MOON MEASUREMENTS WRONG.



BOSTON, Mass, Feb. L-Prof. William
Henry Pickering, assistant professor of
astronomy at Harvard, has made dis
covery of great importance to astrono-
mers. DIR. Franz, the German astronomer,
published two years ago an exhaustive
treatise on the mountains and craters of
the MOON" In this work the latitude and
longitude of each mountain and crater was
carefully worked out, and since that time
his book has been used in all the observ-
atories of the world as the standard.
Professor Pickering has been at work
recently on a new atlas of the moon, and
discovered in the course of his researches
that no account has been taken hereto
fore of the altitude of the craters, and
has discovered that the latitude and longi-
tude measurements of each are greatly
affected by the height. All previous meas
urements used in the study of the moon
by astronomers will have to be corrected
by the new series of tables upon which
Professor Pickering is still at work. Pro-
fessor Pickering is the brother Of Professor
Edward Pickering, director of the observ-
atory, and is well known both in this coun-
try and in Europe for his research work.

named Reed were driving away from the

quarts OF nitroglycerin. When within
sight of their destination, and going at a
rapid rate, an axle broke. The sudden jar
failed to set off the nitroglycerin. The
shooter and tool dresser regarded each 9TH
er few seconds in silent establishment
and then carried the explosive glycerin back
to the magazine, over a mile away.
