Watchmakers' Fine Eyes.

With a magnifying glass fixed like a
black spool in his eye, matchmaker
bent over his table, tinkering with the
tiny wheels and springs Of lady's

1T makes me nervous to look at

the eyes"
The man leaned back, inflated his
cramped chest and smiled.
"Quite the contrary, ma'am,' he said.

never suffered from bad eyes myself,

government since 1888.
The court held that the government had
given good title in the first place, and
further, that it was a wrong to attempt to
regain possession after so many years
Because of the location of the islands on
the boundary line and the treaty require
ments that the United States must keep the
line clear. it is understood that interna tionai
complications may arise as result of this
decision.

Honor Due to Great Inventor.
Robert Delafield, president of the Nation
al Park Bank and treasurer of the asso-
citation, in reply to my questions said:
There has been feeling for some time
among the thoughtful men throughout the
country, and particularly in New York,
that America should pay some permanent
homer to the great inventor to whom the
entire world is SO deeply indebted. The
Robert Fulton Monument Association is the
consequence Of that feeling. and surely
every one will agree that the commercial
interests throughout the land, and particu-
great metropolis. has profited by the re-
suits OF his genius, and will be glad to con-
tribute to his honor. After comforting
with many leading citizens of New York.
the association was incorporated under the
laws of this state to pay the iong-postponed
public debt to Robert Fulton. It has no
other object in view. 1t has taken consid-
cradle time to organize but that has been
accomplished: we have elected q young
and progressive inventor, Mr.. Cornelius
Vanderbilt. whose family have been close
ly Identified with land and water trans
portatien from the beginning of our history
as our president, and he Is showing great
energy and ability In the work. He has
appointed committee on site Of forty
members, OF which Gov. Charles e. Hughes
has accepted the craftsmanship. and COM
mfttee on design Of twenty-five members,
of which Col. H. o. g. Heistand o. the
United States army Is chairman.

George w. Melville and others of the proper
sort of people. They will determine upon
location overlooking the Hudson river at
a point where a monument may be dis
tinctly outlined and can be seen by steam
ships at long distance.
"Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler. president
of Columbia University, has suggested a
Water Gate in connection with the monu-
ment and tomb, where foreign and Ameri-
can battleShipS can have a landing place
for their officers and crew, and where the
officials of the national and city government
may receive with ceremony distinguished
visitors who come to this country from over
the sea. At the present time there Is no
landing place suitable for such ceremonies,
and all such people have to disembark in
the busy shipping district of the city, which
is always very much congested and not at
all presentable. Such a water gate would
be in constant demand for ceremonials
and would be a great convenience for yacht
clubs. 1t is thoroughly practical idea,
and while l am not authorized to speak
officially for the association, am confident
that it will be adopted. Everybody to whom
the idea has been suggested seems to regard
1t with approval. Such q plan offers a
very broad opportunity for monumental
design that will be a permanent ornament
and attraction.

MANUFACTURE OF CANNON.
Errors in History Corrected by Mr.
Madison Davis,

Some miSstatements as to the making
of cannon in this locality, and especially
as to the assertions by the historian, Mr.
Scharf, who was followed in this respect
by Mr.. Steiner, were corrected in the
course of paper prepared by Mr.. Madison
Davis, and read at the meeting of the Co
lumbia Historical Society last evening at
the Shoreham.
Mr.. Davis demonstrated that there was
no cannon mandatory in this vicinity in
revolutionary times, but that the coming
of Mr.. Foxall here in the year 1900 and
his purchase of ground near Georgetown
marked the beginning of that industry in
this locality. The site Of this establish
ment, which was known as the Columbian
Foundry, was short distance north of
Georgetown between the canal and the
river. The buildings, In q fair state of
preservation. are still standing After
Mr.. Foxall severed his connection with
the enterprise it passed into the possession
Of John Mason, by whom it was operated
for number Of years.
In addition to pointing out the impor-
lance Of this plant at a period In the his
tory of the country when nothing of the
sort was owned by the public. Mr.. Davis

time a mayor of Georgetown. 1t was
through his liberality that Foundry

This paper. which was the result of
much research on the part Of the writer
covered very completely an important
period In the history Of the city. and also
the beginning of an industry here which
has developed in late years into an estab-
ishment Of much magnitude.

No woman can be healthy and well
If the kidneys are sick. Poisons that
pass off In The urine when the kidneys
are well are retained in the body
when the kidneys are sick. Kidneys
and bladder get infamed and swollen
crowding the delicate female orgaus
and sometimes displacing them.
This is the true cause Of many hearing
down pains, lameness. backache, side
ache, etc. Uric poisoning also causes
headaches. dizzy spells, languor, ner-
yousness and Rheumatic pains.
When suffering so, try Doan's Kid
ney Pills, the remedy that cures sick
kiddeys. You will get better as the
kidneys get better. and health will
return when the kidneys are well.
