HEROINEs OF CIVIL WAR.
Movement for the Erection OF n
Fitting Testimonial.


BalunOro american.
Erecting monuments to the dead is the
accepted way of honoring a beloved men,
DRY and perpetuating It for the tender
esteem of future generations. Every crisis
has it's hero, and many have there been
whom the nation has found 1t a delight to
honor. Thus we have monuments to men
of war and men of peace--soldiers, states
men, men of letters and leaders OF learn
ing, with here and there a recognition OF
some woman's work. The civil war, as
natural with so great conflict. was es-
peclally rich in heroes and the number OF
commemorative marbles erected in token
of some man or event in connection there
with is large; and not a one is undeserved.
But, with all our amassing OF monuments,
1t seems somewhat strange that not until
the present time has there been conceived
the idea OF erecting some fitting testl-
monlal to the heroines OF the war-those
wives and mothers who gave UP loved ones
at the countrys call and endured in tears
the misery and despair of four years of
carnage.
This project Is to come before the en-
campment OF the Grand Army OF the Re-
public at Atlantic City and there is no
body of men who can approach 1t with the
enthusiasm and reverence as these whose
hearts are SCARED forever with the pangs
of parting at the call for volunteers. Al
ready the idea has received the commenda-
ton of men prominent in civil and mill
tary life and the Grand Army of the Re-
public can be relied upon to give the sug-
gestion the consideration 1t merits and to
resolve 1t into practical form for the ap-
prevail and support Of the nation at large
Certainly, there was quite as much hero
ism displayed in a quiet way by the walt
ing and weeping women as by the men Of
their hearts on the battlefield. Their cour-
age and their support, and in many and
many Instances their practical help, were
not without influence in deciding battles
for men were fighting for their homes as
we'll as country It is one thing to be
courageous in the excitement Of contest
with the blood at fever heat; it is quite
another thing to resign a loved one to pos
sible death and to be brave in the dark
ness OF uncertainty. 1t is impossible to
know in these later days what the women
of the civil war-on both sides-went
through. In number of cases they were
left to support the family, to battle aloug
alone as best they could and their Victory
and their sacrifice of self on the nations
altar is not unworthy OF commemoratIon in
enduring marble.
Some there are who disbelieve In nionu-
ments. Often. 1t is true, there is an ex-
cess OF zeal and tributes are rendered that
could well be left undone. In this case the
plea is purely one of sentiment, but the
sentiment is a noble one and full OF appeal.
Surely there could be 70 finer thing than
for a nation to thus honor womanhood.

Distinct Advances in the Art OF
Aviation.

Distinct Advances I'm the Art OF
Aviation.
Philadelphia Ledger.
The successful flight at QUAIL France. Of
a biplane carrying four people marks a
distinct advance in the rapidly developing
art of aviation, When four people may
be carried it IS not presumptuous to regard
the carrying of a greater number as a
matter for the near future to see accom-
plished. Aviators are gaining in confidence
as experience brings them knowledge. They
strove from the beginning to conquer GER
tain principles, and one by one have made
themselves masters OF these. There is
much to be done yet, but each new feat
demonstrates that something has been
gained. The great problems are to achieve
strength without adding too much weight
and to perfect an automatic balance. With
these problems inventive minds are busy,
and definite results within a reasonable
time viii in all likelihood be the outcome.
The carrying of four people through the
air for short distance is not expected long
to constitute record"

A Few Remarks ON ''EIindisg Your

Chicago Post.
The four Christian Endeavor societies of
Fairbury, Neb., have voted that "a public
request be sent to Mrs. Nicholas Long
worth asking her to give up the cigarette
habit" We would like to take these good
young people aside and ask them II they
know just what they are doing Have they
any flrst-hand knowledge of any kind that
Mrs. Longworth has "the cigarette habit?'
II they have not-as seems probable at ODDS
OF 1000 10 1-are they not running rough
shod over the decent American principle
that every person shall have a fair trial
before being declared guilty OF an offense ?
And are they not also forgetting utterly
what the Bible says about thinking no
evil?" We might add as a closing consider
alton for the older leaders OF the Fairbury
Eudeavorers that while the good book says
nothing about cigarettes IT censures busy

nine years, is considered to have been q
wise one. his tact rather than his force
fulness being the prominent feature of
MS career. In the main his rule was
characterized by strong common sense
and prudence, and his reputation for
being an accomplished diplomat was
well recognized. Born in 184I, the
long tutelage under his most wise
mother, Victoria, gave him an insight
into Continental politics that served him
well.
George V, his son, has taken I'D the
reins of government, and the belief ia
expressed that he will be conservative
ruler, although it is said that he has not
the tact, and of course lacks the ex-
perience of his father.
A change of rulers in England. a
country of many conservative checks

that such change might be among less
staid and established people. While the
king is power, felt and known, still the
cabinet is so largely the ruling power
