LAFAYETTS is EULOGIzED
M. Pinchon, on Behalf Of the Govern
ment, Accepts Bronze Copy
of the Statue.

Paris, France.-"The grandest name
in all the history of America is that
of George Washington, and the his.
tory of all the nations give us none
that is grander,' said James Mann,
chairman of the Virginia commission,
in the course of his address at Yer.
sailles in presenting to the people of
France on behalf of the people of Vir-
ginia a bronze copy of Houdon's
statue of Washington. The original
of the statue stands in the state CAPT.
toll at Richmond
Mr.. Mann recOunted the splendid
deeds of "the father of his country"
both in war and in peace, and paid fit
ting tribute to the illustrious French
men who aided America in its struggle
for liberty. 1--WE remember always
he said, that but for the aid of France
success could not have crowned the
efforts of Washington in our revolu-
tionary war 1t is because Virginians
remember these things and, remem-
bering them, love the people of
France, that we have come in their
name as the bearers of this token of
their affection"
The statue was accepted in behalf
of the French government by M. Pin
chon, secretary of foreign affairs.
"The graciousness with which the
gift of this statue has been received"
said Mr.. Mann, "has added to the
pleasure Virginia has felt in sending
her best loved son to stand on the soil
Of France, amid the only allies, often
sive and defensive America has ever
had. 1t was beautiful thought that
prompted the people of France to
place in the right side of this statue of
Washington the bust of Lafayette, his
most trusted lieutenant and dearest
friend, and on his left Suffren, the gal
liant commander of the redoubtable
Fantasque, who dealt such telling
blows to the British ships upon our
coast, and later, by his bravery, won
for himself the high honor of being
the admiral of France. 1t is indeed
fitting that there should be placed
within the pedestal as a part of his
support the names and records of the
47,o8o brave French soldiers who
made possible the successful ter1nina-
ton of the war and thereby entitled
Washington to stand upon that high
pinnacle of fame which history &C
cords only to the victorious. His
spirit, as it hovers here above his
statue, must indeed feel that he stands
in the midst of his friends"
Mr.. Mann referred to the fact that
it was within the very walls within
which he stood and where the statue
had been placed that on September 8
1888, was signed the treaty of peace
between Great Britain and the United
States. "This is indeed the birthplace
of our nation" he said.
"And we have come in grateful rec
ognition of the splendid part that
France took in the accomplishment al
our freedom. to place within these
walls the statue of the Father of His
Country"

HORRIBLE DEATH OF
MILL SUPERINTENDENT.

Lancaster. Pa.-Scott Hammaker,
superintendent of the pipe mill of the
Susquehanna Iron and Steel Compa-
ny, met a horrible death in the mill
at Columbia. The protruding key of
knuckle on a belt caught the tail OF
his coat, and he was drawn into tae
belt and whirled around shaft which
was making 1900 revolutions min
ute. Three feet away was an iron
trough, and with every revolution his
legs struck it, both members being
hammered off piece by piece. Below
was another shaft, against which his
arms and thighs hit with each revolu-
ton. Every bone in his body was
broken.

WHEN WERE TRUST
BOOKS BURNED Z.
II On Thursday Ais Well, But
Friday Somebody
Goes to Jail
MUCH EPENDs UPON A GIRL
She Is Miss Maud Dimmock. Conf
Dental Stenographer of the Beef
Trust General Manager.

Chicago-Certain note books con-
tanning stenographic notes for letters
regarding, beef prices were burned in
the Armour offices in Packingtown.
If they were burned on Thursday
it was very ordinary bonfire of little
or no significance.
But if they were burned on Friday
it was very momentous and signitl-
cant bonfire indeed For if it can be
shown that they were burned on FRI
day. certain people must needs go to
jail for contempt of court, to-wit:
Alfred r. Urion, general counsel for
Armour & Co., and president of the
Chicago school board; George M. Will
lets, assistant office manager for Ar
mour & Co; w. w. Shaw, head
stenographer for Armour & Co.; and
w. A. Helander, clerk in the sta.ions-
ry department of Armour. & Co.
The books in question were de-
manded by the federal grand jury
working on the beef trust probe. 1t
was believed that they were filled with
discriminating dictation regarding beef
prices. But the grand jury was told
that the books had just been burned.
Now. before Judge Kenesaw Noun
tain Lands is being thrashed out the
question, "When were the books
burned"
If they were burned on Thursday
they were burned before the grand
jury made its demand for them; if
on Friday, it was after the demand
had been made.
Various Armour employees who have
been examined during the hearing ex-
hibit a curious consistency in the mat
ter of lapses of memory. For the
lives of them they can't remember
whether the books were burned on
Thursday or on Friday.
Among these witnesses Miss Maud
Dimmock, for seven years conhden-
tial secretary of the general manager
of the Armour company, shines with
peculiar brilliancy She is clearly a
woman among women, for she can
keep a secret, inspite of some of the
brightest legal lights on Uncle Sans
payroll

CURE FOR collie IN HORSES
Two Excellent Remedies Prescribed
That Are Safe--Keep Animal
Well BIanketed.
(By H. A. COOLEY

Procure Some gunpowuer contain
ing saltpetre, which acts on the kid
neys; also some charcoal and soda,
which act upon the stomach and in
testines. and drench the horse with
this. Another way is to take salt
petre. alum, charcoal. and laudanum,
equal parts, and drench the horse with
the mixture. They are all perfectly
safe except the laudanum, so be care
full not to give over an ounce of the
drug. Keep the horse well blanketed
and In warm place. Also see that
he has plenty Of water, but not too
much, and feed. Driving the horse
too hard or getting him overheated

Balsams show to best advantage
when they are pruned to one straight
stem. Pinch off every side branch
and the single stalk left will be com.
pletely covered with mass of bloom.
All flowers keep In bloom much
longer, and the flowers are larger, If
not allowed to form seeds. Pinch on
every flower as soon as 1t begins
to fade. This is especially true OF
sweet peas and pansies.

Nicholas May Cut Out Tobacco

The tobacco situation in Nicholas
county seems again 1.-The chief topic
among the grocers there who are now
bending their efforts to get through
stripping the 1910 crop. They are very
much behind with their work owing to
the two or three months of exceeding
ly dry weather. and are now unable to
get an adequate supply of hands at
fabulous prices to strip out the crop
quickly.
From the amount of the stripping
thus far one thing has been learned
and that is that the crop'is of inferior
quality, generally speaking, and the
weight will be lighter than usual.
One thing that looks good through
this section is the determination of
many of the farmers to cut out the TO-
bactO crop and turn tnier attention to
the live stock or poultry business. 1t
is being freely predicted here that
with crop of tobacco next year the
acreage will not be near so large as
heretofore
