GRAND ARMY MEN OBJECT

WASHINGTON, Oct. l2.-Members Of the

Of Alabama proposes to place a statue Of

a statue OF Gen Robert +. Lee In the hall

Confederate.
The complaints reached such a pitch
at the time that the captain Of the Capitol
police, himself a Union veteran, declared
that he feared that Union soldiers might do
violence to the Lee statue il it was placed
in the hall, il he were to Judge from the
threats that had been uttered.

temperate criticism is making the

that they gain in creature comfort by
wearing the light and airy creations
above quoted. Up in this region
which go by the suggestive name
where it is not necessary to wear
garments with ventilators to escape
sweltering to death, people think
there is a great deal of unnecessary
pother over the "peek-a-boo,' and il
asked for an opinion they would be
inclined to say that the censure di
rected against it is about as rationa

hExIco's VAST SODA LAKES.
rhe Government VIII Not Dispose Of
Them to Anyone.

Mexico is the possessor OF such
vast and valuable soda lakes that the
government refuses to dispose of them
IN anyone or at any price. President
Diaz believing that they are yet to be-
rome sources of enormous income to
the country, just as the nitrate of soda
beds are to Chini.
At only one other place in the world
Is natural soda found under conditions
which admit of industrial develop
ment. and even there it must be
sbipped hundreds of miles by rail and
MANY tons of water must be evapo-
rated by coal, to obtain a ton of the
product.
But at the Bay of Adair, only a mile
from the coast of Lower California
under the blazing sun of the desert, lie
vast lakes Of crystals of carbonate OF
soda. with the appearance of masses
of snow and ice, but from which will
be made millions of tons of soap and
other millions of tons of glass.
The worlds consumption amounts
TO hundreds of thousands of tons annu
ally, and nearly all of it is manufac'
tured from common salt with the use
of expensive machinery, while at
Adair bay nature does all the work in
producing an article worth SIS per
ton. It is estimated that there il
enough soda on top of the ground to
nroduce 100 tons a day for rs years.

Lincoln as a LAWYER.

A leader of the Lincoln party told
the other day in Philadelphia story
of the astuteness of Lincoln as a
lawyer.
when Lincoln was practising law"
he said, "he had case involving a
disputed will. The opposition claimed
the will was genuine and for several
hours adduced proof Of this. For
Lincoln, who had to prove the will a
forgery, things looked black.
Lincoln, however, only called one
witness, a retired paper manufactur-
er, renowned the country over for
his wealth and probity.
"Mr. Dash Lincoln said to this
witness, handing him the disputed
will, please hold that paper up to
the light and tell us what is the water
mark on it,
1.-The water mark Of my own firm,
Blank & Co. the witness answered.
when did your firm begin to
manufacture paper?'
"Tn 1S41.'
"And what's the date Of the docu.
ment in your hands?'

THAT is enough. Gentlemen Of

The dry dock Dewey has arrived
safely in the Philippines after voy
age of more than six months, naving
been towed within that time more
than $4,000 miles. The skill, the
sound judgment the resourcefulness
in meeting absolutely unprecedented
conditions in officers and men merit
the very highest praise. Probably
those persons who think it would have
cost less money to send out the ma
terials and build the dock there may
be right, but this ignores the uplifting
stimulus for our navy in having

equaled. The value Of prestige is not

Swords Into a PIoW.

During the centennial celebration in
philadelphia in 1876 the members OF
the Universal Peace union assembled
to celebrate the tenth anniversary OF
the foundation of the order.
A number of officers and descend
ants of officers gave their swords to
be made into a plow as a symbol OF
peace. The weapons we're afterward
fashioned into a homely agricultural
implement, which, however, instead OF
being a plow, took the shape OF the
ordinary field cultivator.
This cultivator may now be seen IN
the hall at Geneva, Switzerland. Over
1t is an inscription giving the history
Of the implement.

LEFT THE BABY BEHIND.
The Nurse Had the Carriage, But the
"Baby" Was Missing.

Mrs. Maud Miller Nipple, whose
advocacy of a course in motherhood

"And no young mother" she said
mo matter how many her millions
nor how high her station, should trust
her little one entirely to a nurses
care. A nurse may be the most intel

a baby properly is difficult task, and
only one person is sufficiently inter
ested in this task to perform it well
That person is the babys mother"
Mrs. Nipple smiled.

A Law to Protect Birds.

The threatened determination OF all
beautiful birds in this country in order
to satisfy the demands for ornamental
millinery has led to the enactment IN
several states of greatly needed laws
for the protection of wild birds. CON-
missioner Whipple, of the New YORK
state forest, fish and game depart
ment, has recently served notice
through the press to the williners OF
the state, retail and wholesale, that
his department intends to use every
legitimate means to enforce the law
prohibiting the possession or sale Oh
the bodies or feathers Of wild birds,
whether taken in this state or else
where. The penalty for each violation
of the law is $50 fine, and an addition
al $25 for each bird, or part thereon,
sold, offered for sale, or possessed.
This law seems to be sweeping enough
to constitute an efiicaciOus remedy so
far as the state of New York is con-
cerned. All the added beauty that can
be given to the creations Of milliners
for the adornment Of ladies is not
enough, remarks the Case and Com
ment, to compensate civilized people
for the infinite loss to the everyday
life of many millions Of people, il the
beautiful plumage and graceful flight
of the birds should disappear, and
their twitter and song be silenced.
States which have no such laws may
well adopt them, and all that have
them should secure their enforcement

Something of the Importance OF the
American tourist trade may be gath
cred from the statement sent out
from London that the steamship fares
paid by Americans landing in Eng
land In one week amounted to $5,,
100000. And that is but one item OF
expenditure. Americans are liberal
spenders, and the amount paid out
for hotel bills, transportation and in
a multitude of other ways, to say
nothing of the inescapable tip, car
riss the total far up into the mil
lions. 1t is easily believable that
there are sections of Europe where
the residents practically live on
American tourists. And the foreign
owned steamship lines get their rich
est patronage from the same source
The money taken abroad in these
ways goes far toward offsetting the
big balance of trade in our favor
which represents the excess OF our
exports over imports.
