WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
The History of This Wonderful and
Imposing Structure.

Washington monument is Won
derful structure and very imposing.
Built of white marble, absolutely
without ornamentation and capped
by an aluminium pyramid, this inn
mense needle rises to a height OF
over 555 feet.
1t took thirty-six years to build,
cost $1,250,000 and weighs close
upon 100000 tons. There is room
enough in the interior Of the mon
ument to house an army of $4,000
men, for the landings will accom-
modate 7,675, the stairs 3,845, the
upper and lower platforms 45O and
the elevator 80. There are 900
steps. The weight of the capstone
is $500 pounds, while the number
of blocks of marble used in its con-
struction reached $4,000.
The cornerstone of this gigantic
monument was laid on July 4, 1848,
and on the 9th of December, 1884,
the topmost stone of the pyramid
was set. Two months later the
great shaft was dedicated. The
Immense structure rests on foun-
dation bed of fine sand two feet
thick, which is laid on stratum of
powders and gravel, and its stabll-
ity is assured against all natural
causes except earthquakes and the
washing out of the sand beds be-
meath the monument.
The Washington monument stands
on site selected by George Wash
ington in the year 1888. 1t is close
by the banks of the Potomac, sur
rounded by forty acres of sloping
mounds and terraces, and but frac-
tional distance from the Jefferso-
nian meridian, which passes due
north and south through the center
of the White House and due east
and west through the center of the
capitol.
The monument has thirty-one
landings, the first one being 80
feet from the base and the last 800
feet. On the walls of each landing
are various memorial inscriptions
and tablets presented by different
societies, persons and countries.
The thirteenth platform is at a
height of 150 feet, and it is here
where the government began its
work of finishing the monument in
1873. Altogether the monument
contains 176 memorial tablets.
There is one tablet which is totally
decayed and illegible, so that no
one knows where it came from or
who gave it.
Many Of the blocks Of marble were
sent by foreign countries as a trib-
ute of admiration for the Father
of His Country. All of these now
form part of the monument with
one exception. This was a block
of African marble from The temple
of Concord, Rome, sent as a gift
from the pope. 1t bore the inscrip-
ton, "Rome to America" In
March, 1854, however, the lapidari-
1m, where the memorial blocks
were kept, was forcibly entered, and
this stone was taken and, it is sup
posed, was thrown into the Poto-
mac. A reward for its return was
offered, but the stone was never re-
covered, and it's hiding place re-
mains a secret to this day.

Where will you spend eternity

Realizing the necessity of
N oerance in my business,
nd for the security of myself

helping me, to abstain from all
Intoxicating liquors as a bever-
age, and to influence others to do
the same"
The three vestibule coaches
passing through this city on the
A. B. & A. cost $4,000.
C. H. Putnam, chief car in
spector for the A. B. & A., was
down from Waycross yesterday.
"That looks mighty hard"
The above fell upon our ears IN
a crowd on the A. B. & A. depot
platform and we looked up into
the sweet but sad face of wom-
an whose locks are prematurely
gray and whose lips tremulously
repeated the above remark-add-
ing-"It hurts to see my son
start off on the train not knowing
but he may be killed before he
travels another mile" Her eyes
filed with tears as she strained
her gaze to get one more look at
the manly conductor who had
Just bidden her an affectlonate
goodbye as he started on his
run. The mother with the visit
full expression went to tell of her
son-her baby--Who was brought
back to her, mangled and dying
within forty-fve minutes after
he kissed her goodbye as he
started to his train whose heavy
cars crushed the life out of him
like flash.
HE only lived forty-fve min
utes after they brough him bone
and only forty-fve minutes be-
fore that he left me rejoicing in
his kingly young manhood,
and now l live in dread when the
other son steps on the train"
A quick throb of sympathy
beat ia our own mother heart
as her pathetic story brought be-
fore us the image of our own
engineer son whose pail bearers
met us on the train giving us the
first intimation of his death.
Talk about heroes. They do not
all die on the battlefield; some of
the bravest are the mothers and
wives of those railroad men
whose trustworthies and faithful
ness guard the lives of thousands
who travel to and fro.

Charles i. Hatfield. Of the Baltimore
it's operation at q chemical factory at
Hawkins Point, Md, and prevailed
upon the company to allow the various
health authorities mentioned to test it
out.
. The officers Of the company are not
as sanguine as DR.. Hatfield AS to the
result, but are willing to do their share
toward the experiment of demonstrat-
ing whether the doctor is right. As
for the latter, he says he found the
stuff was thrown into the swamps
around Hawkins Point, and that the
man connected with the chemical works
noticed shortly after the first lot was
thrown in that the swamp vegetation
died and the mosquitoes were fewer.
Also that as the waste was distributed
over wider area the singing pests en-
tirely disappeared.
This was quite remarkable, for the
mosquitoes at Hawkins Point were 80
numerous that a man could catch a
handful at one sweep Of his hat. But
at the present time mosquitoes are un-
known there and malarial fever, for
merly prevalent, has almost disap-
peared In speaking Of the proposed
mosquito cure, DR.. hatfield said:
"It is superior to petroleum in every
way. In the first place it is cheaper,
as it can be delivered at any point in
the state Of manufacture for SIS ton.

A heavy rain or freshet will wash all
the oil out of q swamp, and it has to
be renewed quite frequently. This
stuff resembles white stone. Drop It
into a swamp. pond or cesspool and the
action will continue for months.
Rain will not wash 1t away, for it lie
heavy and will remain on the bottom.
All obnoxious vegetation is killed by It.
It will also kill the odors in cess
pool. There is no action until it comes
into contact with water, and it is per-
fectly harmless to human beings. I
expect great things from it,"
One Of the officers Of the chemical
company, says the company
has no opinion in the matter
as no experiments have been made for
the purpose Of ascertaining the value
Of the waste as a mosquito extermi-
nator, but that the mosquitoes have
certainly disappeared from Hawkins
Point, fact which is apparently due
to the waste deposited in the swamps
surrounding that hitherto feverish To-
cality. The Dawson company, at that
place, will furnish the material free to
any health board desiring to investi-
gate and experiment with the waste,
