RISE OF A NEWSBOY. .STATUE OF STEUBEN
MEMORIAL TO BARON WILL BE
ERECTED IN WASHINGTON
German NobIeman Helped Train ReVo-
lutionary Troops in Fight for
American Liberty-His Body
Rests in New York.

WashingtOn.-A statue of General
Steuben-Jhe Baron Won Stueben who
came 10 America from Prussia to aid
the cause Of the patriots in the revolu-
tionary war-i5 to be erected in La
fayette Square, Washington. A model
Of the statue is on exhibition. II is
the work of Albert Jaegers, Of New
York, a German-American sculptor to
whom the award was given over a
large number of competitors.
It was considered a graceful act to
limit the competitors for the honor OF
doing the work to German Americans,
because of the nationality Of the FevO-
lutiOnary soldier whose fame was to
be commemOrated Every design that
was submitted, it is said. was Of un-
usual excellence, and the task Of de-
gliding among them was difficult.
The statue Of Lafayette, which
stands at one corner of the square
that bears his name, is not an eques-
trian statue, and FOR this reason no
other of the memorials in the same
park, save one, will represent mounted
men. The horse necessarily was elm
mated from the ROchambeau memo
rial because the second Frenchma1 to
be honored with representation in La
fayette Square was a sailor.
At the fourth corner of the park a
statue Of Pulaski VIII be erected in a
year or two, and this will complete the
memorials which it is intended to put
in place, for the park is small one.
An equestrian statue Of General Jack
son occupies the center of the pleas
ure ground.
General Friedrich Wilhelm Heinrich
Ferdinand, Baron Won Steuben. came

to America to aid the cause of the rev.
olutionists, and was Of invaluable serv-
ice in imparting knowledge of Euro
pean tactics to the officers of the
American forces. The discipline of
the colonial army improved 10 such
an extent under his instruction that
the ma-ale and the fighting effective
ness OF the troops was Increased many
fold in a short time.
The services of the German s--dier
were rot confined TO the camp. He
fought well on several fields. and it
finally fell 10 his lot to check the ad-
vance of Te1cdict |rnold and 10 put
an END TO the rei2a OF terror arnold
had created among non-combat ants in
the territory which he had invaded.
After the Revolutionary war 5 euben
went to central New YORK and settled
on a tract granted him by the severn
ment The place OF his settlement
later was called Steuben. 1t IS cow a
thriving town In MS will the general
made the request that he be buried in
the woods which he loved. The re-
quest was complied with and his body
was laid in a beautiful piece Of wood
land not far from his residence.
About 80 years ago, because civiH-
zation had changed the face of the
country, the body of the baron was re-
moved by the state Of New York to a
grove in the township of Steuben, and
the place has been made a state pre-
serve. There was a great military
, demonstration at the time of the re
moval, and a handsome monument
: has been erected to mark the German

Simple Exclamation.

Joseph H Choate, the eminent New
York lawyer, in the course Of his
career has seen defeat fall to many
members of his profession while ex-
amining witnesses. The most utter
rout he ever witnessed was in the case
of a young lawyer defending a man
against a charge of burglary. The
chief witness, married woman, said
the accused came into her room about
2 o'clock in the morning. She saw
the intruder but acknowledged that
she could not see her husband. The
young lawyer shot a side glance at the
jury and then Numbered: Now,
madam, please explain to Us all how
it was that you could see the prisoner
and yet could not see your husband?"

RED TIE sPoILs ELoPEMENT.
Mans Return to Get Lurid Piece of
Neckwear Discloses Plans.

Waterbury, Conn. When Miss
Julia Tonpense crocheted the most
Iurid red necktie that ever graced the
neck of a Waterbury Adonis and
worked IN a number of pretty senti-
mental inscriptions upon its fiery
bozs she little thought that the same
neoktie would shatter her hopes Of an
elopement.
Albert VeTnice, the young womans
fiancee, has neither a red tie nor a
wife to-day and is awaiting some one
to appear in the courthouse to go on
his bond for $500. He is charged with
abduction.
Miss Tonpense's father, fearing an
elopement when she wanted to go to
New York, insisted on accompanying
her to the station. The young couple
had everything arranged, so when
Vernice saw the father with the girl
he hid in a freight car until the New
York train was just starting. Then
he made running jump and landed
on the rear platform.
When the young couple arrived in
New York, the bride-to-be discovered
that Vernice had forgotten his red
necktie. He was sent back post haste
to get it, as Miss TOnpense refused to
be married with him wearing any
other neckwear When Vernice got
back 60 Waterbury Mr.. Tonpense was
at the station and had him arrested.

Kiss Causes Suicide.

Courtship in Spain is regulated by
the strictest etiquette. As is well
known, a young man is never left
alone with his iancee. Near Malaga a
beautiful girl of 20 has just committed
suicide by drinking a cup of coffee in
which phosphorus had been dissolved.
It appears that the girl had been
driven to the deed by the adverse
comments of neighbors, who became
aware that she had given her sweet.
heart a kiss.
