Interesting Stories Revived.

Several interesting old stories were
revived today in connection with the
Monument as the result of Yesterdays
annual meeting. When the Monument
was being built and the stones were
being received from the states they
were placed as received. in a long
shed near the Monument, known then
as the 'lapidarium. Tourists and SOU
venir hunters haunted this place and
when they were not carefully watched
they chopped off pieces Of the stones
stone with carved figures Of per-
sonages In the medical world and the
souvenir hunters chopped off the hands
of some Of the figures. Michigan's
stone bore coat of arms in silver.
Vandals took a letter or two of silver
out of the motto of the coat of arms.
although these We're replaced
There is to this day some little un-
certainty that the stone representing
Texas is actually the stone sent by
that state. Old records dated 1850,
show resolution of thanks to Texas
onlclals Tor stone, so It is certain
that a stone was sent, but the stone in
the Monument is badly defaced and de-
teriorated. and it is intended to urge
Texas to replace it. 1t is defaced so
badly that the carvings cannot be iden-
titled as the carvings of the Texas
stone.
One interesting thing about the
Monument is the aluminium cap on the
topmost point. This is about twelve
by nine inches, and years ago, when
it was brought to Washington, it was
a great curiosity, as it>was said to be
the first piece of aluminium of any size
ever made. IT cost the government $500.
1t was exhibited for some time at Il
Washington jewelry store. The light
ming rod which protects the Monument
goes up through and around 1t.

May Publish Another History.


The society appointed a committee
consisting of Charles C. Glover, Henry
3. F. Macfarland, Mr.. Noyes and Mr..
Harvey 10 consider the possibility of
bringing out another history of the
Monument, possibly to republsh one of
the two whose editions have been ex-
hausted or to revise one of the old ones
and bring out new edition. The So
Fciets privately published a small his
tory some time ago, and in 1903, dur
ing the Fffty-eighth Congress, larger
history of the Monument was published
las a public document From time to
time Libraries, as well as individuals,
ask the society for these histories and
authentic information as to the Monu-
ment.
The four states which have not so
far placed stones in the Monument are
Idaho. Arizona, New Mexico and Okla
homa. 1t has been inadvertently
stated that New Jersey has not placed
a stone in the Monument and that that
stone is momentarily expected. Idaho
was meant. Some time ago the latter
state authorized the governor, the sec
retary OF state and the attorney gen.
eral to negotiate for stone to be
placed in the Monument as represent
ing Idaho A contract was made with
Boise architects. who prepared a de-
sign and sent to the society a blue
print of the full sized stone, with the
state seal carved on one side of it.
The stone should be here soon, Mr..
Harvey stated today.
Years ago, when Arizona was a terri
tory, her officials sent to Washington
a silver brick to be placed in the Mon
ument as representative of Arizona 1t
was placed on exhibition at the old
Kirkwood house. now the site of the
Raleigh Hotel. but it disappeared and
never was traced.
The society is waiting for stones
from Arizona. New Mexico and okla
homa, but as their legislatures meet
every two years, and this is not the
year, it may be some time before these
stones are received in Washington The
Governor Of New Mexico has twice
recommended to the Legislature that
that state send stone. The present
governors term expires next year, so
it is believed that the next governor
of that state must take renewed action.

The grounds surrounding the base of

out there of a screen of evergreens ana
other shrubbery, 1t was learned today
as the result of the eighty second an
nual meeting Of the Washington Ma
tional Monument Society at the resi-
dence of Theodore w. Noyes, 1870 New
Hampshire avenue, yesterday after
noon. Also. another history of the
Monument may be published shortly,
as the result of the meeting, to meet
a demand of libraries all over the
country, the editions of two previous
histories of the Monument having been
exhausted
After the close of the report of The
Star yesterday of the meeting and the
reception held by Mr.. Noyes in honor of
the members of the society, which
brought together until 6 o'clock in the
evening large and representative
gathering of official and unofficial
Washingtonians, announcement was
made that DIR. Charles D. Walcott. sec
retary of the Smithsonian Institution,
a member of the society, proposed dur
ing the meeting that conference be
held by members of the society with
Col. W. w. Harts, L. S. A.. in charge of
public buildings and grounds. to see
whether he can have placed a screen
of shrubbery outside of the driveway
around the base of the Monument.
The argument was advanced that the
groups of tourists and other persons
who frequently stand around the base
-of the Monument appear from the dis
tance to be blots on the landscape, and
that the immediate surroundings of the
Monument would be beautified and the
the Monument harmoniously tied" as
shrubbery.

One fact has come to the front, and
been uncovered, rs the result Of the
talk about preparedness, declares the
Knoxville Journal and Tribune. II
has come through the rejection of a
large per cent Of the applicants for
enlistment in the army and navy, on
account Of the physical disability OF
the rejected applicants.
Every man and every woman Is re.
sponsiblc for himself or herself in

Some there may be who assume We
have reached a point in the matter OF
parental government, where belief
prevails that it is the duty of tho
state or the nation to look to the
physical health of the citizen.
These may do something, may do
much; but nothing that can be done
for the Individual, unless the indi-
vidual does for himself that which
common sense teaches him. Most
men assume that the government has
nothing to do with what he eats or
drinks; nothing to do with his bodily
cleanliness. There is much in such a
claim, but it is n part Of the duty OF
every individual to pay his individual

Kinds of Banks.

the bank is sound and worthy of con-
tidence. 1t is we'll however. to un-
derstand that there are different
kinds Of banks. and to know the dis
tinGuishing characteristics Of each.
We have in this country four kinds
OF banking Institutions: az National
banks; o. State banks; (c) Trust
companies; tdl Savings banks. All
the foregoing receive money on de-
post and pay 1t back again. as a rule.
on demand; but the rules under
which deposits are received differ.
All the foregoing nut the savings
banks have capital stock and are
owned and controlled by stockhold-
ers. Savings BANKS are of two
kinds stock savings banks and mu-
tual savings banks. The difference
between these will be noted later,
the present talk will treat Of national
banks only.
National banks are under the di-
rect supervision Of the comptroller
Of the currency and are not subject
TO state laws except in the matter Of
taxes. In country districts they can
not organize with capital of less
than $4,000, while IN larger places
the capital requirements are greater
National banks do a general bank
ing business, which consists Of re
ceiyinP deposits. paying checks anc
making loans. The one feature which
distinguishes national banks from al
others is the issue of national banl
notes, which form large part Of the
circulating currency OF the country
These notes are secured by govern
ment bonds deposited with the treas
urer at Washington, and every ma
tional bank note is In reality par

argument for their acquisition, writ
ten by Senator Lodge, now ranking
Republican member:
THE arguments in favor OF the pos
session Of these islands can be briefly
stated. and appear to the undersigned
to be unanswerablc So long as these
islands are in the market there is al
WAYS the danger that some European
power may purchase or try to pur-
chase them. This would be an in
fraction Of the Monroe doctrine and
would at once involve the United
States in avery serious difficulty with
the European power which Ought pos
session OF the islands. In the interest
Of peace it is OF great Importance tha'
these islands should pass into the
hands Of the United States and cease
to he source Of possible foreign COM
plications. which might easily lead to
war"
The acquisition Of the islands by the
United States has been the subject Of
unsuccessful diplomatic negotiations
since the Civil war. Secretary Seward
began negotiations for their purchase
in 1865 because the naval operations
OF the war had shown the necessity Of
base in the West Indies. A treaty
was made and ratified by Denmark but
the United States failed to act on it
in proper time and it lapsed Presi-
dent Wilson in his volume on Con
gressional Government written about
1888 referred to the incident as the
treaty marring power Of the Senate
Intellectual efforts were made to re-
omen the negotiations during Presi-
dent Grants administration and in
1902 after President Roosevelt came
into office Secretary Hay took up the
subject and Denmark offered the is
lands for $4,000 900. The United States
Senate this time ratified the treaty but
the Danish Senate defeated it. 1t was
said at the time that German opposi-
ton influential in the Danish parIia-
