Great Olympic Stadium.

London.-The last girder for the
steel structure of the great stadium at
Shepherd's Bush, London, In which the
Olympic games will be contested this
year, was placed in position last week,
and some idea can now be obtained of
the magnitude of the British Olympic
Associations undertaking.
This stadium has been designed to
accommodate 10000 spectators, and be-
sides will contain rooms for the COM
petitors, officials and general public
and lot of floor space for exhibits of
sporting Implements. The center is a
turf arena 700 feet in length by 300
feet in width, around which has been
laid running track having three laps
to the mile and outside this again a
cycling track having two and three
quarter laps to the mile.
The turf and tracks were laid last
fall and are already in splendid condi-
tion and have been declared the best
in England. Alongside the arena is a
swimming pond 100 metres In length,
with q deep space in the middle for
high diving and water polo, events
which the committee believe will be
among the most interesting Of the
meeting.
The games to be contested in the sta
dunn will be divided into two parts,
the main Olympic games, opening on
July 18th, will include athletics, cy-
cling. fencing, gymnastics, archery.
swimming and wrestling, and the win
ter games, beginning on October 10Th.
and including football, both Rugby and
Association, hockey and lacrosse. For
the games which can not be played in
the stadium the association has made
arrangements with the clubs In and
around London for the use OF their
grounds.

fresh air, proper food. and such medi-
cineS as are essential.

on.-Representative Hughes
of New Jersey has introduced an
amendment to the Sherman antitrust
act designed to meet the objection
raised by the Supreme Court of the

Denver.-Mrs. ]. B. F. Reynolds died

neuralgia oi the heart.
By the death of Mrs. REYNOLDS the
friendless child, the prisoner unjustly
accused, ard the woman suffering the
pangs of poverty have each lost sym

striking characteristic was her bound

pathy and aid to those in distress. The
most notable example of her interest
in those overtaken by adversely was
the fight she made in behalf OF Antoine
Wood, the youthful murderer. 1t was
through her efforts that the boy got
parole and was given an opportunity to
show that he could make good man
of himself if given the chance.

Riot in PhiIadel phia.

Philadelphia-The marching OF
nearly 1000 foreigners upon city hall,
where they said they intended to make
demands upon Mayor Hepburn, pre-
cipitated a riot in Broad street late

persons were injured before the police
dispersed the marchers and arrested
fourteen of them. The men, most of
whom were Italians and Poles,
marched from the foreign settlement
in the lower section of the city. The
leaders and score of others carried
red flags having black border. Sew

No State INSPECTION,

Denver.-State Dairy Commissioner
Bishopp desires to correct an impress
sion thot appears to be general among
writers for the rural press that there
is state law providing for the testing
of dairy herds suspected Of being
tubercular Lately number of the
country papers have been printing ed-
torials suggesting that the law ought
to be repealed AS matter of fact
there is no such law among the Colo
.rado statutes, although several muni-
cipal councils have enacted ordinances
providing for such tests in the case of
herds supplying milk for those par
ticular communities.

American Tars In Peru.

Lima-Sunday was a day of sight
seeing for the American battleship fleet
lying in the harbor of Callao. More
than 5000 of them came ashore during
the day, the majority of whom spent
that time in Lima amusing themselves
in visiting places of amusement and
buying souvenirs in the shops kept
open for their benefit. Others took
short excursions on the railroads to
nearby points of interest, while many
stayed close around the Bay of Callao
The conduct Of the thousands Of blue
jackets and marines was admirable,
as they all seemed bent on getting as
much pleasure as possible On their
shore leave.

San Francisco.-William P. Hatch,
who is delivering series of free lee
lures on health throughout the state,
contending that the use of medicine is
necessary, has announced that he will
allow himself to be inoculated with the
germs of any disease and will agree to
work such germs out OF his system

IRVING MEMORIAL.

Discussion proceeds in London. to whether the
statue Of Henry Irving,-a memorial that is to be
erected in Cnarins Cross Road.-should present
that great actor in the character Of Hamlet or
should present him in modern dress Objection has
been made the former choice, because q
memorial of Irving Is desired and intended, and
not image of Shakespeare Prince OF Denmark
To the latter choice objection has been made on
the ground that modern dress is ugly. There are
varieties of everyday attire that were not ugly
when Henry Irving wore them. The objection to
statue Of Irving Hamlet is reasonable and. in
deed decisive 1t is the man, more than the actor
who ought 10 be commernorated, and he will not be
suitably commemorated by the statue Of fictitious
character.
Why not represent Irving in court dress? That
is picturesque costume: it is frequently worn: It
was. occasion. by him. and one ever
ii with grace. Those who saw VIII not
forget the magnificent. the illustrious figure OF
at the celebration OF Queen Victora's Jubilee.
Furthermore Ir'riEg the first actor to be
created knight in recognition OF his services to
the community actor Sir William Dave
nant was invested with that distinction because.
his biography states. ''n his military capacity
he behaved well; and At the siege Of Gloucester,
in September 1643. he received the honor OF knight
hood from the King-Charles las acknowi-
edgrnent Of his bravery and signal services"
Though the title Of knight is insignificant in the
United States. it means much in England. and It
meant much when given to Irving, for it
recognition which had been long withheld, OF the
social equality OF The Actor.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK.
Industrial Progress In Alabama and
 Georgia.

Columbus. Ga, January A.-(Special)- The Georgia and Alabama Industrial h. deX will say tomorrow in its regular weekly issue:
 Reports to the Index for the past seven days reflect prosperous and promising industrial conditions in Georgia and Ala bama. Comparatively few manufaetur- ing plants in these two states suspended operations because of the recent financial stringency, but those which did are re- suming operations, and, in some in- stances, with larger forces than before. Many industrial plants announce that orders are beginning to be received in increasing volume. It is stated semi-of- ficially that the United States Steel Cor poraton is planning even more extensive investments in the Birmingham district. Banks have been declaring dividends of from to 20 per cent. In the cities of Georgia and Alabama, clearing house as- sociations are rapidly retiring the certih- cates which they issued, and in some of these cities all of the certificates have been recalled Confidence has been re- stored. The outlook is not only bright, but there are substantial prom ises of even greater prosperity upon d substantial basis than that which preyi- ously prevailed. These facts are shown in the news which the Index publishes this week and the showing is a most grat= flying one.
 Among industrial plants to be estab- lished are: Bottling plants Slocomb, Ala, and Montezuma, Ga; brick plant, Rossville, Ga, and brick plant enlarge ment, Gadsden, Ala; cement plant to cost $s50,OO0, near Birmingham, Ala; cof- fin factory, Vidalia, Ga.; gist mill, Fair burn, Ga; lighting plant, Lafayette, Ga. ; oil mill, Tuskegee, Ala; wood pulp plant Waycross, Ga.
 Tn addition to numerous residences an1 business buildings, the Index reports the following to be constructed;
 Bridge, EtoWah county, Alabama; churches Augusta, Ga. and Vinegar Bend, Ala; library, Union Springs. Ala; Masonic temple to cost S15,OO0 Brewton. Ala; paving in two cities; four school buildings; sewers. Dublin. Ga; water works system, Lafayette, Ga. and water works system extension, Dublin, Ga.
 "A bank with capital stock e S50.0o0 has been organized at Prattville, Ala.
 '"rwenty-four new corporations with total minimum capital stock of $i6o 900 are reported.
 'LaF ayette, Ga. voted an issue of S40, 0O0 of bonds to be used in making munici pal Improvements. An election has been ordered at Dublin, Ga, upon the issuance of $65,O00 of municipal improvement bonds.
 illustrating the prices of lands, 1000 acres of farm land in Montgomery coun- ty, Alabama, was sold for $25000 cash. Parties of German settlers arrived in two sections of southern Alabama during the week."
