A NEGLECTED MONUMENT.
Visitor to Brandywine Battlefield
Finds Deplorable Conditions.
m the Philadelphia Ledger

A friend lately returned from a tour
around the world. and the only thing he
saw that made him ashamed of his coun-
try was that in one of the Chinese ports he
saw one of our splendid cruisers with an
old, worn out, dirty starry banner, mended
with a new piece of stuff which made the
battleworn flag look still more pitifuI Just
as my friend felt In faraway China I felt
on a visit to the battlefield Of the Brandy
wine. 1t has been the dream of my life to
visit the points of interest Of that glorious
yet unfortunate battle. While visiting
good friends In Downingtown-that nat
ural center of the picturesqueIy beautiful
Chester valley-an ever kind and attentive
friend suggested that we visit the Brandy
wine battlefield. How delightful the trip
was in converse with an old friend. ready
to point out all points of interest and
beauty.
A short, comfortable ride by trolley
brought us to West Chester, which always
reminds me more of Northampton, Mass,
where I spent my school days, than any
there we were on our way by team to
Jenris bridge. where Howe crossed the
Brandywine. seven miles above Chadds
ford. From here every point marked out
kept our attention spellbound and our
hearts sad at the fruitlessness OF the bat
tie. i will not mention them, but say to
every reader, 90 and See.
The object of these lines is not to de-
scribe the charming coup d'oeils and views,
the historical events, but to say that when
We reached the heights where Lafayette
was wounded. and on which a neat but
dreadfully neglected monument stands. high
grass. ETC., within the the little Enclosure,
1t looked as II all Chester county-nay the
whole United States. had forgotten that
Lafayette had ever assisted us In our I'M
equal struggle, and had here, for the first
time. poured out his blood for the patriotic
cause. But this neglect within the in
closure was the least feature of shame, for
who would believe 1t? Where are the sons
and daughters of the third and fourth gen.
erations of the revolution, about whose
social and literary functions we so often
read? There. quite near by. is the most
tumble-down and filthy pigsty within few
feet of the monument. All the odors of
hades concentrated would not drive the ad-
mirers Of Lafayette quicker than the pig
sly and shanty, which seem to be adjuncts
to the monument. The proper and only
thing is for some patriots to buy the little
property, tear 1t down, with the pigsty
and the fence. haul away the manure pile.
just hands breadth from this sacred
spot, fill up the hole occasioned by doing
the same, planting some trees and laying

at little cost by some loving hand who

From the Springfs Id Republican.
The automobile is largely responsible for
several noteworthy disturbances in the
commodity markets. 1t lifted the price OF
rubber to an almost intolerable figure for
the common uses. Gasoline is another COM
modify whose price has scared under the
auto demand. Prices of leather are now
reaching record figures. and the demand
for it in the luxurious upholstering Of
auto carriages is said to be an important
factor. The Shoe and Leather Reporter
notes that the price of 'spready steer
hides" advanced last week to 17H cents.
while during the paper money imitation
period of the civil war the highest price
reached was IA cents. which has stood
as the high record in all the succeeding
years until now. We may have to go
without rubbers or rubber coats and We
may have to go without boots or shoes,
but we must have our automobiles.

of the question has been set forth in a
very spirited correspondence between
the Merchant Tailors' National Pro-
tecti~e Association OF America and the
quartermaster's department.
Meanwhile there seems TO be some
difference of opinion as to the work
the tailor is expected to do. The de-
tenders Of the quartermaster's depart
ment have hastened to announce that
Winter will only have to do with the
uniforms Of the enlisted men, and not
with the officers. 1t is denied that
any changes will be made in the de-
sign of the uniforms themselves, but
that the English taiIors efforts will
merely be directed to cutting the uni
forms more skillfully than they are at

One of the officers declared that the

that the auartermaster merely wants
TO obtain better patterns for the cutters

work. There will be no changes in the
