COLOSSAL
Figure of Vulcan WIN Stand Guard at
the Great Mineral Exhibit of the South
at the St. Louis Worlds Fair.

A. colossal figure of Vulcan viii stand
in the Palace of Mines and Metalurgy
at the Worlds Fair at st, Louis. 1t i.
to typify the iron industry of AIabama
and win be made of Alabama iron. The
statue is so feet nigh and was modelled
By G. Moretti, of New York. The model
in plaster, full size, from which the
cast viii be made, is now nearly ready
having been built in church building
at Passaie, n. Y. The plaster model
which is nearly solid plaster, weighs
nearly 100000 pounds. The finished
iron statue carved out, will weigh near
ly 100000 pounds, or fifty tons. The
cost is $4,000. The fund was raised by
popular subscription. Alabama VII,
make an exhibit in connection with this
which viii show all the minerals of the
state and products manufactured from
the minerals. The space in the Palace
of Mines and Metallurgy occupied by
Alabama is 80 by 90 feet, with aisle all
around and is Immediately in front OF
the main entrance.
Some idea of the difficulty OF produc.
ing such gigantic figure in cast iron
may be gained when it is stated that
the different pieces will weigh several
tons each. Nothing so difficult was ever
undertaken so far as known. The sta.
tue of Liberty in New York Harbor is
made of sheet metal on an iron frame.
Any one of the sheets could be handled
by one man, while every piece of the
Alabama yuncan win require a derrick
to lift it whenever moved. The feet
are five feet sM inshes in length. The
arms are ten feet long. The face is
seven feet six inches long. The
breadth across the shoulders is ten feet
The anvil will weigh ten tons and the
hammer three tons. The spearhead
which Vulcan holds aloft in his right
hand will weigh $50 pounds.

MODEST GIRLS.

There is a girl at Warrington who is
50 bashful that she cannot see a sleep
ing car. without blusaing and she faints
at the sight of undressed lumber. But
she is hardly as foolish as an old maid
at Fairmont. who covers the face of the
clock in her bed room every night be-
fore undressing for bed and even has
lingerie on the legs of her bedstead.
However, There is a sweet young tning
at Grafton, who will not look at tree
in the winter time for fear she will see
naked limb, she will not express an
opinoin fearing to unbosom her mind.
But the Clarksbarg girl, who is so mod
est that she prefers falsehood to the
naked truth, rather takes the bake
shop-kingwood Argus.

Four persons were found on the city's

tiness of their minds in the cages pro-
vided for that purpose at police head
quarters by the members of the city
police force. At the regular session of

THE Republican township tykct has
been placed I'm nomination, and the men
selected are now before the people for
support. They do not claim perfection,
but they average highly, and rank we'll
up to the standard of township tickets
nominated and elected in the past.
\ careful and more conscientious man
could not have been found to represent
the township on the board of supervisors
than {. J.. Delayau. whose wide expert
ence and conservative methods have put
him in the front ranks of that body.
For clerk the convention should be con-
graduated in selecting young man so
widely known and thoroughly familiar
with the work in the person of Carts
Brown. Mr.. Brown is personally ac-
quainted with every citizen of the town
ship and they are assured of always re-
ceiving courteous treatment at his hands.
IA. Baker the stalwart and steadfast
Republican, who stood nobly by his party
during the silver craze, was nominated for
township treasurer.
The justice courts will be ably looked
after by +. y. Chadwick for full term
am J. D. Spinney to fiji vacancy.
The balance of the ticket was an ably
selected one and will no doubt be sup
ported by majority of the tax PAYERS of
