the hand of friendship. {:
Facing east, west. north and south
from the angles of the pedestal are
four sleeping lions in marble of he
roic size, the work of Phlnister Proc
tor, the New York sculptor.
Flanking the sides of the four bas-
es which support the marble lions
are series of fountains, which arc
fed with water from gargoyles To-
Gated close to the four corners OF the
pedestal of the obelisk. Surround
ing the whole is a broad circular
promenade, with mosaic floor and
embelllshed with balustrades and
massive balusters connected with
heavy chains. The approaches are
flights of stone steps, which pierce
the parapet at four points. Beyond
the parapet leading to the street lev
el are concrete walks, between which
are grassy plots and flower beds The
effect of the whole, In the opinion OF
artistic authorities, is the most Deau-
tiful of any similar memorial in
America.
The monument commission In
charge of the erection of the shatt
was composed of Edward II. Butler
and George Il. Matthews of Buffalo;
70. A. Curtis of Fredonia. and John
G. Milburn of New York, in whose
Ruffalo house President Mckinley
died. Mr.. Milburn was president OF
the iLfated Pan-American ENposi4
tion company.
The fund for the erection of the
monument was not given directly by
the New York legislature, but was
saved from the state appropriation
for the Pan-American exposition
through the economical administra-
lion of the late Daniel Newton Lock-
wood. a former law partner OF Gro
ver cleveland. At the close of the
fair the money he had received by
the act of the Legislature, instead OF
being turned back into the state
treasury, was diverted to the cree
tion of the monument which was
dedicated today, the city giving the
site. establishing the surroundings

FOR SELFISH ENDS.
The Efforts Being Made by the Ameri-
can Medical Association.

The Political activity of the Ameri-
can Medical Association has become
so pronounced as to cause comment
in political circles especially as the
the avowed purpose of the Doctors of
the Regular or Allopathic school, Of
which the Association is chiefly COM
posed, is to secure the passage of such
laws as will not only prevent the
sale of so-called Patent" medicines,
but will restrict the practice of medi-
cine and healing to the schools" now
recognized. This in many states would
prevent the growing practice of Os-
teopathy, and in nearly every state
would prevent the healers of the
Christian Science and mental science
belief from practicing those sciences
in which the faith of so many inteln-
gent people is so firmly rooted.
The American Medical Association
has a Committee on Legislation"
and the committee has correspond
ents in practically every township -
some 10000 correspondents in all.
This committee at the last session of
the American Medical Association
held in June Of this year expressed
hope that larger number of physi-
clans than heretofore will offer them
selves as candidates for Congress at
the first opportunity. In it's annual
report this Committee said: ITO meet
the growing demands of the move
ment, however, particularly if the
work of active participation in State
legislation is undertaken. larger
clerical force must be employed"
This is almost the first time in the
history of the United States that any
organized class has frankly avowed
the purpose of capturing legislatures
and dominating legislation in their
own selfish interests.
The American Medical Association
has about $4,000 members of whom
$1,000 are fully constituted mem
bers" and the rest are members be-
cause of their afiliation with state or
local societies. The Association owns
real estate in Chicago valued at SILL :
1871 and it's total assets, are $291,-
567.89. It's liabilities at the time of
the annual report which was made at
the June meeting, amounted to- only
$21,906. The excess of assets over
liabilities is increasing at the rate of
about $4,000 year, and the purpose
of the organization is to dominate
the field of medicine, and by crushing
all competitions by securing the pas
sage of prohibitive legislation, compel
all of the people Of the United States
to pay a doctors fee every time the
most simple remedy is needed.

METHOD IN HIS soLIcIrupE.
WilIle's Deep Interest In PIaymate's
Health Explained.

This story is well in keeping with
the spirit of the age, says the New
York Tribune. A Bronx man tells it
about his little boy. The neighbor's
young hopeful was very i'll, and Willie
and the other youngsters in the block
had been asked not to make any noise
in the streets. The neighbor's bell
rang one day and she opened it to find
Willie standing bashfully on her front
steps.
"How is he to-day?" he inquired in
a shy whisper.
Hes better. thank you, dear, and
what thoughtful child you are to
come and ask"
Willie stood a moment on one foot
and then burst forth again, I'm orful
sorry Jimmy's sick"
The mother was profoundly touched.
She could find no further words to
say, but simply kissed him. Made still
bolder by the caress, Willie began to
back down the steps, repeating at in
tervals his sorrow for his playmate's S
illness. At the bottom step he halted
and looked up. "If Jimmy should die"
he asked, 'kin have his drum?"

PUT 1T IN GOOD LpGHT.l
One Comforting Thought i'm the Death
of the Chickens.

A lady who had recently moved to
the suburbs was very fond of her first
brood of chickens. Going out one af-
ternoon she left the household in
charge of her eight-year-old boy. Be-
fore her return thunderstorm came
up. The youngster forgot the chicks
during the storm, and was dfsmayed
after it passed to find that half of
them had been drowned. Though
fearing the wrath to come, he thought
best to make clean breast of the
calamity, rather than leave it to be
discovered.
Mamma" he said, contrftely, when
his mother had returned, mamma, six
of the chickens are dead"
Dead" cried his mother. "Six!
How did they die?'
The boy saw his chance.
Il think-I think they died happy"
he said.-Harper's Weekly.

Satisfactory Fire.

Durfag the discussion of the Mad
don bill for cheaper gas Congressman
Legare told the following story of a
cook he had once brought from home
with him, says the Pittsburg Press.
She was a splendid servant. but she
didn't know anything about gas to
cook with, so he went to the kitchen
with her to explain about the range.
So that she could see how it operated,
he lit each of the many burners.
While still explaining. a message
called him from the kitchen, and he
left her, saying: Il guess you will
find that it will work all right now,
Martha" He didn't see the cook again
for four or FIVE days, then upon enter
ing the kitchen he said: We'll, Mar
tina, how's that range, doing?"
To his utter CONSERVATION she re-
piled: Deed. sir, that's the best
stove l ever did see. That fire what
you kindled for me four days ago is
still a-burning, and it amt sten low
cred once"
