Proposed Indian Monument to be Erected
IN New York Harbor.

A bill introduced into both houses
OF Congress providing for colossal
statue OF the North American Indian
to be placed in New York Harbor was
reported In the House on March /.
This measure was INTRODUCED by Repre-
sentative Joseph A. Goulder and
Senator Chauncey NJ Depew, Of New
York, and provides that there shall
be erected without expense to the
United States Government, by Rodman
Wanamaker, of New York City, and
others, on a United States reservation
In the Harbor Of New York, memorial
to the memory OF the North American
Indian
The bill Is the result OF suggestion
made by Rodman Wanamaker, at a
celebrated dinner given last NAV at
Sherrys New York, In honor OF Col.
Cody, The famous Indian scout. The
idea OF erecting statue OF on Indian,
with arms outstretched In welcome at
the gateway Uf the New World met
with such instant enthusiasm, that
there Is little doubt, but that the
measure will meet with unanimous
support.
While the ways and means OF pro.
vidibg money to finance the enterprise
has not yet been decided upon, IL is
expected that the statue will be a
national monument TO perpetuate the
memory OF the first American and an
opportunity will BE- given 10 every one
who desires to contributes; 1t IL esti.
mated that one penny from every man,
woman and child Ia the United States
will furnish ample means for It's
erection.
Already various tribes of the Order
OF Red Men throughout the United
States have taken steps TO contribute
their share to the general fund II Is
planned that each Of the Fl We hundred
thousand members Of the Order of Red
Men represented In the four thousand
tribes In the United States shall con
tribute two cents each, which would
amount to $4,000. A pile OF copper
cents amounting to $4,000 is far more
imposing than single check for that
amount donated by some one Individual
to whom it would mean so little.

A Curious Trap.

A curious labyrinth in which ele-
plants are captured alive Is to be seen
near Ayuthia, formerly the capital Of
Siam. The labyrinth is formed of a
double row of immense tree trunks
set firmly in the ground, the space be-
tween them gradually narrowing.
Where 1t begins, at the edge Of the
forest, the opening of the labyrinth Is
more than a mile wide, but as 1t ap-
proaches Ayuthia 1t becomes so mar
now that the elephants cannot turn
around. Suspecting no danger, the
wild elephant enters the broad open
ing at the forest end, lured on by n
tame elephant. The gradual narrow
ing of the boundaries is not observed
until the elephant finds himself in
close quarters. Having reached the
end Of the labyrinth, the tame elephant
is allowed to pass through a gate.
while men lying in wait slip shackles
over the feet Of the captives. The
sport is dangerous one, for the en-
ragged elephants sometimes crush the
hunters under their feet.

BEANS IN BOSTON.
The Millions Of Quarts That Are An
nually Baked and Eaten.

Boston baked beans are known
around the globe. In the city Of Bos-
ton alone about 32,O00000 quarts of
baked beans are devoured annually, to
say nothing Of the pork that goes with
them and the brown bread that Is also
served. There are factoitgs or baler-
les which handle nothing hut baked
beans from one years emf to the other.
One Of the largest Of these. which sup
piles restaurants wholly, baIes 1900
qu' rts of beans week. Other baker
Hes also furnish brown bread, while
nearly every bakeshOp that makes
bread, pastry and pies also bakes
beans several times n week. There
are bakeries with ovens that will hold
2,0O0 quarts each
The preparation and baking of beans
are interesting operations. In estab-
lishments where beans only are baked
1t Is done on huge scale. There are
great kettles that hold two or three
bushels Of beans and into these the
beans are put to soak aud parboil
Then the pets of earthenware, varying
In size from one quart to two gallons,
are ranged around on tables and filled
from the big kettles. Every quart of
beans Is carefully picked over and
sorted and cleaned of all dirt and dead
beans before being put into the kettles.
The ovens are huge brick affairs, glow.
ing red with heat. Experts consider
that beans cannot be properly cooked
except in II brick oven. Some of the
ovens hold 1000 quarts each. Filled
with the loaded pots, they present
sight worth beholding. So hot are the
ovens that long handled fiat shovels
are used to push the pots in and take
them out.--New York Tribune.

Miss May Bailey of Danbury Visits New York and is
 Mrs. Patrick O'COnnOr

Danbury, Oct. Miss May Bailey, daughter of Mrs. Festus c. Bailey, of this city, heiress to a large fortune and one of the leaders among the younger set in Danbury society, was married in New York city on August 30, last to Patrick O'Connor, coa achman and overseer of the Bailey place here, and the news has caused a sensation here. MT. and Mrs. O'Connor left Danbury yesterday afternoon on a be- lated wedding trip and are said to be in Providence
 Since Miss Bailey was graduated a year ago from well known private school in New England she practically had control of the large house here, where she lives with her mother and many servants No one attached to the household staff had any suspicion that Miss Bailey and the coachman, O'Connor, who is a young man who came here from Ireland four years ago, were infatuated although one of the servants last night said that for several months OConnor has been ab- sent from his post for several days at a time
 It is recalled that it was during one of these short vacations Miss Bailey announced her determination to make a trip to New York to look after 30 last
 Miss Bailey returned to her home here late on the same evening and O'Connor appeared the following morning. offering no explanation for his absence nor was he questioned. It is now learned here that the couple met in New Fork by arrangement and after obtaining a license were married in St. PauPs Chapel, No. 15 East 117th street, New York
 When Mrs Bailey, mother of the bride, learned the facts yesterday she was overcome with grief. After haSty goodby, MT. and Mrs. O'Connor left the house by automobile and ar rived at the station here in time to catch the train for Providence. It is likely that they will not return here but will go to farm the bride owns near Brewster, N. Y.

COLLECTOR OWES TOWN YET SAYS
 EXPERT S0ULE.
Especial to the Farmer.)

Bedding, Oct 5.@The large crowd in the town house Monday afternoon lis tened with the perfect silence which goes with tense attention while Expert Accountant Frank T. Soule read the report ennbodyfng the results of his town accounts Investigation. Al. though he gave only a summary of much of the figures and other details of the report, the reading occupied up- wards of half an hour and produced the impression that MT. Soule had done his work thoroughly and well. He showed what each tax collector had collected for the last fifteen years, how sums credited on the town treasurer'S books, how much of the sums still un- collected were secured by liens, the in terest on these liens and how much, if anything, each collector still owed the town.
 Considerable of this was new infor- nation although the more important features have already been made known in these columns. The most sensational phase of the new matter was his finding that some alterations had been made in the original entries representing credits written in the rate books of former Collector E. I. Cor ham by Town Treasurer Hill. se- quence of this finding was Mp lessen the town treasurer's shortage by be- tween $20O and $500. The apparent alterations referred to consisted of the placing of the figure '1" before some of the amounts as written down by the collector. MT. Soule did not go so far as to express an opinion as to who was the author of these alterations.
 He first reviewed the accounts of Henry s. Osborn during the seven successive years the latter held the office, beginning with the year 1895. and found that he was still indebted to the town in the sum of $40. This discrepancy was doubtless due to cler- teal errors. Next MT. Soule took up the accounts of John M. Sullivan. who was collector in 1902, and found that MT. Sullivan had. turned over to the treasurer $1.27 more than he collected. There appeared on Nr. Sullivan's book, however, entries showing $SS in abate- nents, and as no other record of these could be found this amount was charg- ed against the former collector. The abatements in question were ordered by the selectmen and made known to MT. Sullivan verbally, and as the se- 1ectmen then kept no minutes of their general proceedings the collectors memorandum furnishes the only rec ord on the subject. Should an at tempt be made to secure payment from him he can probably supply an adequate defence by proving from the former se1ectrnen that they authorized these abaternents and also that his
