MAJ.-GEN. GEORGE G. MEADE
ment at Gettysburg-Macnificent
Picture of Commander.

The statue of Maj.-Gen. George G.
Meade which adorns the great Penn
| sylvania monument at Gettysburg, is
| strikingly impressive representa-
| ton of the grand old commander of
! the army of the Potomac. 1t has the
pose and look of a soldier of the very
! highest class, such as Gen. Meade was,
says the National Tribune. Every
thing about the statue breathes cour-
| age, invincible determination and sol
dierly feeling 1t looks the man of
blood and iron that Gen Meade was,
and makes magnificent idealization
of the American commander. Gen.
Meade has high claims to being thus
remembered to posterity
Maj.-Gen. George G. Meade was
born at Cadiz, Spain Dec. 81, 1915
His father was then American consul
that that place. He graduated from
West Point in 1885, nineteenth in a
class headed by George w. Morrell,
and in which Gems. Martindale, Rob
erts, Brooks, Stokes, Naglee, Prince,
Haupt, Patrick and Grier. Next to
Gen. Meade in the class was Mont
gomery Blair, who soon resigned, and
was afterwards postmaster-general of
the United States under President Lin
coin. Cadet Meade was assigned to
the artillery, but resigned Oct. &c,
1886. He was reappointed six years
later as a second lieutenant of topo-
graphical engineers, and from that
time until the beginning of the war
was employed in surveying, building
lighthouses, ETC., with the exception
of a years service in the Mexican
war, where he received a brevet for
gallant conduct at Monterey. The
opening of the war found him a cap
tain of engineers. He was appointed
brigadier-general of volunteers Aug.
81, 1861, and assigned to a brigade in
the Pennsylvania reserve corps. He
handled his brigade with skill and
gallantry, was severely wounded at
mand a division of the first corps of
Manassas South Mountain and Antie-
tam. He distinguished himself at
Fredericksburg when his division
broke through the enemys lines. If
it had been properly supported, the
been turned, and the battle of Fred
made brilliant victory in
stead of a disastrous defeat. Dec. 25,
1862, he was promoted to command
the Fifth corps, and June rs, 1868,
succeeded Hooker in command of the
Army of the Potomac. His selection
for that high command was generally
by his brother officers and
the army. During the remaining two
years of the Army OF the Potomac's |
splendid history he was in command, !
and under him the army gained it's |
victory at Gettysburg and ending with !
the capture of the Confederate army |
at AppomattoX. Aug IS, 1864, he was |
a majorgeneral in the
United States army, and at the close !
Of the war was placed in command |
Of the military division of the Allan
lie. The citizens of Philadelphia pre-.
;ented him with a fine residence, and
after his death, Nov. 6, 1872, a fund
and presented to his family.

JOSEPH cHAMRERLAlN.

Though the death of Joseph Cham berlain means no such effect Npon the political conditions in England as it would have some years ago, when he was actively associated with all the legislative work of that nation it new ertheless removes one of the great figures and leaders in British poli- tics. His activities had terminated a number of years ago, but the career of the eminent statesman has not been and cannot be forgotten.
 He had a long and honorable career in parliament and was led by the force of his convictions to espouse and bold ly fight for what he considered the right thing. It was impossible, even for those opposed to him politically not to recognize in him one of the strong men of his day, a debater of great ability and the possessor of the data relative to national conditions which carried great weight during his speech es.
 MT. Chamberlain was not always on the winning side. Rather was some of his most effective work done in opposition to some of the great meas ures, or in support of others which failed. In this relation it is signifi- cant that the assurance of home rule for Ireland should come just previous to his death, this having been one of the big measures to which he gave vigorous opposition. His position upon all questions was such as to command the attention and respect not only of his own country, but of the world. and his eareef as an English statesman is one which will receive it's place in the political history of Great Britain.

THEN andNOW

One hundred and twenty-nin years ago today the decimal sys- tenn of money nov used was adopt ed by the United States congress. It was the first step toward a national currency, but seven years elapsed before the first national mint was established Up to this time the monetary system was in a chaotic condition. The actual mon- ey circulation in this country con sisted of foreign coins distributed in different sections according to the nativity of the settlers, or mon- ey coined by individuals and the colonies. In New England the Eng fish pound and shilling fiourished: in New York there was the Dutch f1ortn and thaler. the latter being, the word from which our 'sdollaro Is derived: in the southern colonies the money of Spain and France were the mediums of exchange, and everywhere the system of barter was in use. Wheat was legally au- thorized as the equivalent of coin in Massachusetts. Tobacco was ac- cepted across the store counter in Virginia and Maryland. This was the condition when congress adopt ed the decimal system and the mint began to issue the first national currency. Paper money took it's place in national curEkncy during the Civil War.

WEAK pIpl oMATIc SYSTEM.

There is nothing surprising in the action of the president in deciding to ask for the resignation of George Fred Williams. United States minister to Greece and Montenegro. His conduct in the office has been such as to call for this action and not to wait for the delivery by mall of the resignation which Is said to be on the way.
 It is one of the numerous incidents which points out the weak and un- satisfactory method now in vogue of making diplomatic appointments. MT Williams, like others, was named to pay political debt He has been a good friend of the secretary of state and some reward was to be expected yet the course which he has followed while representing this government shows him q poor friend of the admin istration- It is an amateurfsh act which a trained diplofnat would moi have done. and adds to the mass of evidence which has aecumulated against the existing method of se- lecting ambassadors.
 While this government is amazed at the bold manner in which MT. vii Hams disregards the position in which he places this country, 1t is but to be expected that foreign countries lool, on with amusement as well as amaze ment It is not understandable how a country which pfefesses to have sucb great regard for efficiency can con- tihue administration after aflnai infxtra- tisH to overlook the faults of such 2 system It is a department where there is a crying need for reform and the quicker fl can he started the bet ter.

HELPINc sAlEM.

The whole country is quick to real ize the seriousness of Salem's need where such a large number of people are homeless and business has suffered through the destruction of factories and therefore a means of wage earn ing It Is calamity for that small section much the same as has been experienced in other parts of the coun- try by different causes and to which the response of the country has been generous
 Thus when appeal Is made to Nthe president for assistance for the strick- en city it is but reasonable to suppose that congress will give heed to his message asking that $2oo,009 be ap- propriated for its relief. and respond with early action. Such with what is coming from other cities and states will go a long way towards helping them through the early part of the reconstruction of the city. Not only at present but for a long time to come Salem faces hard proposition. It is an emergency against which few cities are prepared. and the appeal is only characteristic following such dis astrous events.
 The situation has brought to light the fact that the state of Massachu- setts Is unable by lack of constitu- tionai right to come to the assistance of it's stricken city. Fortunately such fireswept cities are few and far be tween. and such may explain the lack of legislation upon this point, but 1t is only natural that city in such a plight should first turn to the com nonwealth in which 1t is located for assistance, and from it's handicap as now disclosed Massachusetts has the way pointed out for some justifiable changes

PACKING THE VACATION TRUNK,

Pack heavy articles first as shoes, filling them with anything brealzable, previously carefully wrapped in some thing sUFt, as stockings, for instance. If a heavy wrap is taken this goes in next. This is folded like a mans coat laid flat. the outside up. The sleeves are turned back at the elbow, then the front edges of the coat are brought to- gether in the middle of the back and the coat folded over once.
 Lay everything as flat as possible, because it will pack more tightly this way and take up less room than when rolled into small bundles, as some wo- men do when packing.
 The underwear comes next Then press down the contents to see Whefh- CT there are any Jumps that should pc smoothed out or spaces that might be filled in with something.
 Separate waists, also the one piece gowns. carry best when laid on hang CTS the sleeves stuffed with tissue paper and laid one over the other.
 A waist will lie fiat in the trunk front upward. and in the case of a dress this also may lie fiat covered with tissue paper and the skirt turned up. A roll of the paper should be laid in the fold of the dress to prevent crease.
 It goes without saying the heavier dresses ge at the bottom and the light CT ones at the top.
 Hats are easy to pack nowadays, since the sole trimming is apt to be a stick up. This is removed for pack ing and replaced at the end of the journey. Hat trimming and accessor- vii carry in the tray of the trunk.

finances, because of the underlying systems of graft and the methods by which 1t does business, to say nothing of it's being torn and neglected through revolutions, all point out the inevitable situation te which the republic IS drifting.
 Just now the resignation of the col- lector of customs appointed by this country and the calling to Washington of our minister to that country. at tracts fresh attention to that republic and its troubles. The manner in which the customs have been administered has shown the benefit of an honest ad- ministration. but the failure to profit by it and to put 1t into operation in relation to it's government shows 2 weakness upon the part of the Dorni- nicans which it has not been possible to overcome.

When a man grows old and goes toward his last bed he performs .n- tellectually. like dog who goes to lie down; he goes round and round in ever lessening circles.
 We all repeat ourselves. but senility is marked by the increasing freqpent recurrence of the repetition. The themes become fewer and shorter.
 It has been said that nature strikea only those with the disease of old aga who have lived a long while. Many doubt it.
 In truth, there are some minds that are born old, in that they have no f1cundity of invention. no sap of re- sourcefulness. which Is the juice of youth.
 For, have you not noticed even young people who could do nothing but repeat themselYes2 Their gamut of feeling and fancy. speech and deed. Joy and sorrow, is very limited.
 These are already old, though they may be physically vigorous and may live many years.
 Old age is measured, not by years, but by the smallness of life's orbit
