FINAL RESTING PLACE.
Removal of Remains of Capt. Meriwether
Lewis.

Removal of Remains of Capt. Meriwether
Lewis.
1t is understood there will be brought
TO the attention of the legislature by
Senator John Cox communication
which will be OF interest to all Tennes-
scans. The communication is from
Gov. George L Chamberlain, of Ore
gon, ana the purpose is to learn If
there will be any objection to the re-
moval of the remains Of Meriwether
Lewis from their resting place in Ten.
nessee to oregon. The remains of Capt
Lewis were inferred in Lewis county,
Tenn.
The letter was received by Senator
Cox while he was governor, and refers
to the famous exploring expedition OF
Capt. Lewis and Capt William Clark
to the northwest country, aud after un-
dergoing many hardships planted the
stars aud stripes at the mouth of the
Columbia river. The 100th anniversa-
ry Of the arrival of these daring explor-
ers at the head of the Columbia river
was celebrated a few years ago by the
Portland Exposition. THE Exposi-
tion naturally aroused interest in eve-
rything that relates to Lewis and CLARK
and resulted in suggestion which
found warm advocacy in the press Of
Oregon that an effort be made to have
the remains Of Meriwether Lewis re-
moved from their rest ng place in this
state, on the old Natchez Trace, to O
point in the City Park at Portland, Or
egon, " here it is proposed to erect q
monument to his memory and to the
memory of Capt. Clark, says Govern
or Chamberlain. "The location where
it is proposed to erect the monument,
and the foundation thereof, we're dedi-
Gated by President Roosevelt on May
81, 1903."
Gov. Chamberlain states that the
place is picturesque and beautiful, and
overlooks the very spot where Lewis
and Clark camped on their return from
the mouth of the Columbia river 10(
years ago. Gov. Chamberlain states
that it would seem most fitting thai

One of the most famous OF American
shipping lines in the palmy days of our
marine was the Scope Line" which
ran between Philadeldhia and Liver

Randolph, Of Roanoke, determined to
go to Russia, when he had been ap.

president Jackson.
Entering the Office of the company
in Philadelphia, he said to a clerk in

Philanthr0ny,s linnOrlnnity.

OF course it is better that rich man
should give away his money to institu-
tions that do not need it than that he
should not give it away at ell.
We can not quarrel with Mr., Carnegie
for endowing Libraries or with Mr..
Rockefeller for founding a university.
Both benefactions serve purpose, but
the money could be much better dis
pensed so far as concerns actual charity
to humanity.
One hospital IS worth dozen libra
ries People can, if they must, get
along without literature. In the pres
ent state Of literary taste it probably
would be as we'll if they did get aong
without it. But people when they fall
i'll must have shelter and nursing and
medical attention or they will die.
A hospital, therefore, is a necessity,
while library or university is not,
perhaps, superfuity, but certainly a
non essential.
1t is strange thing that philauthro-
py has so neglected this matter of hos
pitals-free hospitals. Men of millions
have lavished money upon all manner
of public aud quasi public institutions,
but none Of them have endowed un-
stintedly the greatest of charities.
Neither in Chicago nor in New York
is there an absolutely free hospital save
the public institutions. There is nc
place where sick man can 60 as
matter of right and be taken care o.
without paying for it or showing tha
he is unable to pay. There are fre'
beds, few of them, in some hospitals
but these are so restricted in their us,
that they might as we'll not exist at all
A man has to confess himself pau
per before he will receive free treat
ment. Most men prefer to suffer else
where or go and die rather than thu
expose their poverty. Chicago Chron

Delmas, Convention Speech,

politics in California and in 1904 he

Large Spot on Old Soils Face.

Pittsburg, Feb. ID Prof. John A.
Brashear, of the Allegheny Observato-
ry, announced through the associated
press discovery of one of the greatest
sun spots ever called to the attention of
astronomy. He says, as q result, cleo
trical disturbances will be experienced
throughout the country about tonight.
These disturbances, he declares, may
take the form of display of aurora
borealis or telegraph and telepone COM
munication will be seriously affected.
The present spot is so large it can be
seen through smoked glass, and, the
scientist adds, is one of the most active
of solar spots.
Ia his statement of the discovery
Prof Brashear says:
"a very large and beautiful sun spot
or solar disturbance is now crossing the
face of the sun and is approaching the
central meridian. This is the largest
spot that has been seen for several
years and its approximate length is
$4,000 miles and 30, 900 wide, covering
an area of about 8, 100, 900 square miles.
There is much activity in the spot and
there may be some electrical disturb
ance on the earth about tonight, but
this is rather difficult to predict on ac-
count of the disturbance in relation to
the earth.
"Besides this great group of spots,
there are three other groups to the west
of it and fourthis Just leaving the
sun on the eastern side. The great
spot can be readily seen by the naked
eye with piece of smoked glass. In
deed, my attention was called to it by
a gentleman who saw it through the
morning fog.
"We have been observing the spot
with great interest all day, measuring
it and estimating its size 1t is q great
spot, stretching an eighth of the way
across the sun.
SIT comes at time when it is not
usual to expect sun spots, and is of
greater interest for that reason Why
