HONOR FRENCH
GENERAL

Newport, r. l., Oct. 5.-lneidents Of
Newport in the days of the struggle
for independence will be recalled by
tablet in memory of Count de Ro-
chambeau, who commanded the French
allies, which is to be placed soon on
the house which was his headquarters.
The memorial has been completed by
Pierre Feitu. well known sculptor.
It is to be dedicated through the joint
efforts of the Sons of the Revolution,
the Society of the Cincinnati and the
Alliance Franchise.
The design consists of a medallion
portrait of the general in bronze( be-
meath which is ia tablet cast in the
same piece which bears the inscrip-
ton "eadquarters of General Count
de Rochambeau, Commanding the
French Allies" The general is repre-
scented at the age of So years, when
he was in Newport, in 1780-1781. The
likeness is the result of much research
and study on the part OF the sculptor
who was guided principally by an en-
craving of the general preserved in an
official document which he had the
opportunity of sketching in the Nation
al Library in Paris. Count de Rocham-
beaus face, with its firm chin and
strong features. impresses the observ-
er with his soldierly qualities. The
uniform is that of a French General
of that period. Beneath the medallion
is a garland composed of oak and
laurel. The corners of the tablet are
marked with fleur fe lis. while the bor-
der is ornamented with stars.

BRYAN AND
TAFT meet

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 5.-Arrange-
ments are practically complete for the
big banquet to be given Wednesday
night by the Chicago Association of
Commerce, at which w. ] Bryan and
William II. Taft, Democratic and Re
publican presidential candidates, will
be the guests of honor. The scramble
for seat privileges has already begun.
The banquet will be held in the Great
Northern theater, and seats have been
provided for 1.433 persons. There are
5000 members of the association, so
that it will be impossible to provide
all with places at the banquet tables
The seat sale which began last week,
is now practically over, and still there
are applications. At the banquet, both
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Bryan will deliver
address, carefully sidestepping politi-
cal issues, and devoting their attention
to general civic topics. Theodore
Shonts, who is also to be guest of
honor, will discuss transportation. The
committee on arrangements, because
of the excessive demand for table ac-
commodations, has hit upon the plan
of awarding the choice of seats to
those first applying therefor

In Wisconsin the new eight hour teleg-
raphers' law in that state has put their
roads to an expense of over $2OO,O0O
year in salaries for additional men.
If the railroads were furnishing the
same service at stations doing COM
mercial telegraph business, the outlay
necessary to meet the new conditions
would be many times that sum. The
close as many offices at the smaller
towns as possible.
Since January 1, when the law went
into effect, 143 offices in Wisconsin do
ing commercial telegraphing have been
altogether discontinued. A number OF
others doing railroad telegraphing only
have been closed. At many other places
the hours during which commercial or
other kilograms may be sent have been
reduced from 10 or IL to g.
Operators have been taken from the
smaller offices and placed where 1t is
necessary to keep offices open more
than eight hours.--At every station
where were formerly two operators a
third is now necessary.
1t is not definitely known how many
new operators have been employed
since January 1, but the number is con
siderably over 200. The Chicago, Mil

I come out all right I will at once go
after Mcfarland I can make 1870

I may be a little conceited in that re-

to make. I will also take on George

Nelson to all of them, however. and
later on I will not be averse to meeting
