WASHINGTON LETTER
Especial Correspondence.l


Colonel G. S. Bromwell, United States
engineer corps, superintendent of pub
lie buildings and grounds, speaking of
the stained appearance of most of the
bronze statues in the public parks, said:
1.-The green deposit which you see
upon nearly all of the statues in Wash
Ington is a verdigris that comes from
the bronze itself. Many artists and
sculptors consider it beautifer of
their work, in that it gives the figure
a more antique appearance. Isuppose
the foundation Of their opinion is quite
similar to the idea nowadays that an
tique furniture is more desirable and
more valuable than the modern. When
a statue is completely covered by the
verdigris 1t is, believe, considered at
it's best. This takes long time.
About Bronze Statues.
"On the other hand, we wash the
statues occasionally. Some may have
been given bath few months ago,
and others, I dare say, have not been
washed for several years. In washing
the bronzes we use acetic acid or or
binary table vinegar. Either one of
these cleansers will remove q greater
part of the green verdigris, but it is an
almost hopeless task to remove 1t from
the pedestal of the statue, for the
stone is porous, and the verdigris,
which is washed down by the rain,
soaks into the stone and is absorbed
by it. 1t certainly disfigures the base
of statue. The deposit of verdigris
is not injurious to the bronze, / under
stand. Bronzes In certain climates
other than Washington are very quick
ly covered with it."
The Grizzly at the Zoo.
"There are many interesting facts
about q number of animals here" said
w. Fl. Blackburn, the head keeper at
the Rock Greek park zoo, the other
day.
"Take old Lucifer, the big grizzly
bear, for example. Watch him as he
rolls about in his bath or shifts quietly
around his cage. Huge as mountain
though he IS, he appears quite peace
able to the average visitor. Not so
very long ago Lucifer was the cause
of grave concern in the Yellowstone
park. At least once a week old Luci-
fer used to break into the corral and
steal a choice pig. He would kill the
juicy porker carry it off, devour what
he wanted Of the carcass and bury the
rest. Then after day or SO he would
come back and unearth his provender
that he had placed in cold storage, so
to speak, in the ground. It got so that
Lucifer's weekly raids on the corral
became sure thing, OF course as
you probably know, no one can shoot
an animal in the Yellowstone. Finally
the authorities became tired of Lucf-
fers free lunch habits and decided to
tran him

children, is a sufficient appeal to every
heart.
Some years ago it was suggested by
Rev. Howard Crumley Of Atlanta,
Ca, that on the first Saturday and
Sabbath of October, all those who
love children set apart those days for
gathering funds to relieve the needs
or the fatherless. On that Saturday,
let everybody old and young, rich and
poor, devote the day to the Orphan
ages, each man sending his gift to the
Orphanage he loves the best or that
lies nearest his heart. The Georgia
scheme worked we'll. For several
years an effort has been made to
rouse an equal interest in South Car
"llna, and Alabama and Florida have
also taken it up. In every commun-
itv some Jealous brother might take
up the matter and push it and the
day : work from everybody would go
t" the orphans. This proposition is
not IN the interest of any one orph-
ana@c: it is intended for each one TO
give to the orphanagc nearest his
heart Give Saturdays wages to the
orphans. Gather the proceeds on the
! Sabbath and forward to the institu-
lions above named. 1t will be sure to
reach the right spot. if drafts and
checks are made out to the name of
the institution itself and provisions
shipped to the same We have no
doubt that when an individual com
munity makes special request of the
railway authorities. flour and rice
and molaSscs or any other products
would find them willing to deliver
without charge.
Notice that this is simply state
mcnt. Urgent appeals are not nee
| eSSary. The orphans need help. The
institutions are unable TO give it,
without the backing Of thc people, At
this season all their treasures are
greatly depleted. DO not overlook the
day.

Scnator-clcct f.. ID. Smith in a
speech I" the farmers at Spartanburg
on Saturday said he would, if if could
be done. have thc government report
the cotton in the warehouses SO that
the farmers could know. The govern
mcnt has paid agents in each county
t" report the cotton that is ginncd
and the condition Of the crops so
that the spcculator may know just
what the farmer has but the infor-
nation to the farmer as To the
amount Of cotton in warehouses and
in the hands Of the manufacturers is
never given. 1t keeps the farmer in
ignorance. Mr.. Smith is right. II is

Judge Hinkle's personal check
for $570.20 was filed with the city
treasurer last evening, this being
the amount of the shortages
against the police court during
Hinkle's term as justice. found by

The total shortage reported was

was shortage which had not
been turned in to Judge Hinkle by
Ed Fisher, the police court clerk
who committed suicide following
the discovery. Judge Hinkle's
check was turned in by Justice

ASK COUNTY AID FOR
SPOKANE APPLE SHOW

The directors of the apple show
that is to be held in this city De-
cember to IL, appeared in person
before the board Of county commits
sioners this morning and invoked
the assistance of the county to the
extent of $4,000. Their argument
was that the show bids fair to be
one of the greatest enterprises for
the public veal in both city and
county; the directors are handi-
capped for the lack of money and
show space to carry the exhibition
to successful contamination, a
grand finish that will mark Spo-
kane as the national center for the
apple. industry. After few words
relative to the Importance of the
show by each member of the dele
cation, the commissioners took the
matter under advisement.
President Il. G. Van Dissel stated
that apple producers from all over
the United States have taken the
matter In earnest, and already
there is consigned to this city large
shipments of exhibit apples. The
directors will have to provide ac-
commodations for greater exhibits
than was at first expected.

enormous proportions" he said.

JONES
ENDS LIFE

Reed Jones, age so, collector for
A. G. Edwards, the real estate and
insurance man, and democratic
candidate for lieutenant governor,
committed suicide sometime dur.
ing the night in his room in the
Stratford hotel by taking arsenic,
His dead body was found this
morning.
Jones had been missing from his
home, SIG Fourth avenue, since
yesterday. He leaves a wife and
four children. A note to his wife,
written on a card which had
been torn up, read:
Mary, I love you yet"
There was also another torn
card on which a request was writ
ten that the remains be inferred
by Buchanan & Co., undertakers.
Smith & Co. had been notified pre-

note and the body is there.
No reason can be assigned for
the deed. Jones at one time was
