But It never occurred to me tnat he
had any idea of putting that thought
into execution; for Booth was always
a wild, impetuous talker."
Gave Up the Stage.
Mr.. Emerson. who is the last sur
viving member of the troupe that
held the boards on that fateful night,
was born in Alexandria, Va, seventy
three years ago. He was taken to
St. Louis, Mo-, by his parents at an
ealy age, but in youth returned to the
East and went on the stage, playing
with the Booths, Charlotte Cushman
and other celebrities of that long
ago day. He was for several years
before the war and during that con-
fiict in the companies of the famous
manager, Ford, of Baltimore, and
also played in the companies of the
elder Wallack.
After the tragedy of that night in
April, 1863 he gave up the stage, 60
ing into the bookselling business in
Lynchburg, Va, for many years.
More than half a score of years
ago he returned to Washington,
where he founded stained glass
works, of which thriving concern he
is the head. Despite his years he is
in as full possession of all his powers
as he was thirty years ago. He dis
courses on the events of that terrible
night with a huency and correctness
that show not only a memory unlm-
paired but also the indellible impress
sion that was made upon him. On
not one single point was his memory
at fault.
1T all seems to ME as though it
was last night" he said.
Looks StrikinSly Like Il ''Swell."
Despite the change that half CEN
tury must work in a man-and it is
nearly that since Mr. Emerson played
Lord Dundreary-he still looks stril-
ingly like that English "swell' whom
a much younger generation saw in
the two Southerns who later played
the famous role. With distinguished
looking "burnsides' adorning his
cheeks and his hair swept back in
somewhat foreign style-for thus is
he accustomed to wear these orna-
ments-he might to-day step upon
the stage without further make
up" and take up his part SO tragically
interrupted nearly fifty years ago.

THE CONFEDERATE MONUMENT

Report has been received by The
Recorder that the Confederate
monument here is not accorded the
attention that should be given it by the
people of Americas. 1t is claimed that
the monument here has been placed
at the corner of Lee and Forsyth
streets and practically left to itself
without further care.
This complaint coming as it does
from those who are interested in pre-
serving the monument as an emblem
of the patriotic loyalty of the people
of the city and county to the Confed-
crate cause, is worthy of considera-
ton. The constant traffic that passes
along the streets at the junction at
which the monument is placed is Il
menace to its preservation now We
are told, unless something is done to
give the memorial better care.
The specific complaints made are
that the monument should have a
railing that will protect it from We
hicles that may otherwise soon batter
down the sodded mound upon which it
is placed, not only robbing the monu-
ment of part of its beauty but also
endangering the stability of it's base.
These matters are worthy of an IL
quiry at the hands of those here who
feel an interest in the work
If the people of the city are not Civ
ing to the monument the attention
which it formerly had and which *
certainly deserves, it is time for the
people to be aroused to sense Of
their duty in this particular. If the
reports are true, then it cannot be be-
cause of lack of loyalty and patrio-
tism to the cause which the monument
commentaries but to the spirit of in
difference which has sprung up rela-
tive to these things

the income alone is to be employed

body college. People of the various
states are now engaged in raising The
sum of $4,000 by subscription to be
used in the construction of the neces-
sary buildings and for the equipment

This will be a splendid memorial to
the great educator Dr. Seaman A.
Knapp, the founder of the farm dem
onstration work in the South, of boys
corn clubs, who died April l, 1871.
1t is peculiarly appropriate that such
school should be established and
dedicated to the memory of such a
public benefactor as DR.. Knapp prov
ed himself to be in his life's work
But more than ALL this school and
demonstration farm will benefit to a
marked degree all the people, in that
it will teach the best and most ad-
vanced modes of farming, the great,
est industry we have 1t will advance
and improve an interest we are all vi
tally concerned in. 1t will upbuil'l
and make greater Tennessee as an
educational and farming center.
We trust, therefore. that the Leg
islature will find it the part of wis
dom and of expediency to convert the
land of Tennessee's great soldier and
statesman, Andrew Jackson, into an
institution that will be of greater pub
lie benefit than anything it could lie
devoted to. This would be consistent
with the views and sentiments OF
Jackson, as in life it was his ambi-
ton to render the greatest service
possible to the greatest number o;
people, and in retaining this proper
ty and making it of inestimable public
service the legislature will perform
we'll and faithfully great public duty

KNAPP DEMONSTRATION FARM.
NASHVILLE Tennessean.D

Nashville Tennessean)
A bill has been introduced in the
legislature to sell in behalf of the state
of Tennessee 500 acres of the Her
mitage farm on which is now located
the Confederate Soldiers Home, %
George Peabody College for Teachers
for the annual rental of 50, 500 for ten
years, the condition being that the
farm be used for the George Peabody
College for Teachers for demonstra-
ton of imroyed methods of agricul-
ture.
This bill contemplates the establish
n,ent and equipment of an experiment
and demonstration farm convenient
to the Peabody college. where i'm
proved methods of farming may be
taught in practical way.
If the plan embraced in the provis-
ions of the bill are carried out and
they will be if the bin is passed, l
valuable tract of deteriorating land
belonging to the state will be reclaim
ed and made to be of great service not

The soldiers home proper, with
about seventy-five acres. will be re-

the Confederate soldiers for ten vars.
or as long as their survival and needs
shall require this to be done.
The sale and employment of the
property have been agreed upon BY
the trustees of the soldiers home and
those representing Peabody college,
and it seems that there is practically
no objection to the passage of the bill
and the consummation of this wisely
designed plan.
