there are being turned out, under gov
ernment supervision, 300 headstoues Il
week To mark graves OF soldiers, sail
ors marines, scouts, nurses, or Others
who have served regular enlistment
in the military or naval service of the

upon the application or Il relative, a
member OF the Grand army of the Re
public, or citizen of the United
States, who furnishes the name of the
dead soldier or sailor and his regiment
or ship The military secretary's office
then looks UP his record and his bury
ing place and the headstone is ordered.
The government pays all transporm-
tion charges on these stones to the
nearest freight Office. All that then
remains Is for the relative or friend to
have it taken from the freight office To
the cemetery.
More than 100000 of these have al
ready been provided and are marking
the graves of the nations dead through
out the country. All of these marble
slabs have been taken out of quarres
operated at Lee or mt Rutland, Vt
On the grounds at the Lee quarry
the stone is polished, marked, and
Grated Twenty men are employed the
year round in polishing and marking
headstones for the nations dead. Twice
year the government receives bids
from contractors, and the contract il
let 10 the lowest bidder.
The marble is taken out OF the quar-
ry in blocks three feet square. Great
iron saws are then used TO cut the
blocks In two, after which they are
strapped together and cut in two again
The action of the saw is aided by
means of wet sand, ii being allowed tC
drip in ut the sides of the saw.
A government inspector carefully in
spects each stone which is turned out
This inspection is very strict. II there
is blemish In the stone however
slight. II is cast ASIDE, the government
refusing TO accept 1t,
When the finished headstone is ready
for delivery to the government 1t meas
ures three feet and three inches long
one foot wide, and four inches thick
Each stone weighs about $50 pounds
On each is a sunken shield or wreath
and directly under this name the rank
and regiment of the dead soldier.
The hcad,tones are then sent to dis
tributing points, where they remain
until requieition Is made for them by
the War Department. No headstoneS
have been sent to the Philippines M
to this time, but applications for mark
ers TO be sent TO the newly acquired

Conference Refuses TO Listen 90 Criticism
OF the Methodist Book Concern.
New Brunswick, N. j., March 20 -
The printers troubles, which have in
volved for some time the Methodist
book Concern in New York, occupied
a good part OF the session yesterday Of
the Methodist Conference. Only the
Book Concerns side was presented.
Representatives o. Typographical
Uniun No. were there, but they we're
not allowed TO reply to the statements
made by the publisher Of the concern,
Dr.. George. p. Main.
1.-The crux CT the question, said
DR.. Main, els the openshop, not the
eiRht-hour day. We oan do better
with an eiRht-hour day with an oIen
shop than with nine-hour day and a
clused shop. The linotype men are
turning out more and better work now
than under the union regime. We
are lowering no flags in this light.
A resolution was adopted inoorsing
the action of the publishers of the
book Concern. Hardly had this Ieso-
luton been passed when representa-
tives Of Typographical Union No.
appeared. They had communicated
with Bishop Goodsell, the presiding
officer OF the conference. lie refused
to grant them the privilege Of the door
because they we're not Methodists.

The steel hull tugboat Amanoa
Powell, owned by the Philadelphia la
& Reading Railway Co., sank at the
west Hharves Of the Pussy & Jones
Co., shortly after o'clock this morn
ing and Howard Grissom, a fireman,
aud Walter B. Robinson, chief stew ewaTd,
had a narrow escape from going down
with the boat.
The lives of the men we're saved by
William A. Green, who is employed
on the boat as fireman. de arrived
shortly before o'clock, and immedI-
ately noticed that the vessel was
settling in the water. He hurriedly
stepped aboard and going to the bunk
usually occupied by Grissom, the
other fireman, awakened him. The
water was then over the floor OF the
boat. lie next aroused Steward Robin
son, after sumo difficulty, and hurried
the men out on the wharf, where they
dressed in the chilling winds and
then went back on the boat and did
what they could to save some Of the
clothing and other articles. But moth
ing could be done, as the vessel was
slowly settling to the rigsrbed, and
there shs remains, with the water
almost covering her pilot-hcuse. About
the time the men got oil the boat
CAPT Atkins arrived with Engineer
Walter b. Robinson.
From what could be learned il ap-
pears that a sea valve became opened,
IN some mysterious way, during the
night and that the water gradually
filed the vessel. The opening Of the
valve is supposed to have been rurely
accidental. The men employed on the
boat would not make a statement.
The boat was made fast to the wharf
early last night and the tug Vidette,
used IN the government service, was
made fast to the Powell, on the side.
Discovery of the Powell's plight
made it possible to release the Vidette
IN time.
Steps will be taken at once to raiee
the Powell and place her on the marine
railway, whore she will have an over.
hauling. The cause of the accident
may then be established.
The Amanda Powell was built al
Camden, N. j., in 1873, and is 65 feet
6 inches in length, and is considered
one If the most powerful boats on the
Delaware river, for her size.
