The monuments which the author of the bill has in mind are soldiers' monuments In a dou ble sense. They are monuments to soldiers by soldiers. They are rather crudely constructed of rich reddish brown Manassas sandstone, and were built in 1Cj by Federal troops marching eastward and homeward over the W'arrenton pike, that warworn highway between the ftappabannock and Potomac over which the Federal and Confederate armies moved to and fro for four yea,rs. Thru' monuiiif-nls were not built by subscription, but were actually reared by men who had founht on tho-e fields. One of the monuments btunds on tin- Henry hill, the main fi'shting ground of the first battle, and is directly behind or n t he east side of the Henry house. In this house Judith Henry was killed by a bhell. and the house was destroyed during the balib's progress. It was rebuilt after the war. This monument is not in danger of destruction by vandals, as the Henry house is still ten anted by members of that family, but the monument shows marked signs if decay. The second monument stands in a lonely place surrounded by cedars that have grown up since the war, and far from any dwelling. It was built on a stony slope leading lip to the southeast side of the railroad cut where the Pope-Jackson fighting was bloodiest, on the Peachtree farm or the Dogan place, perhaps I.5u0 yards northwest of Groveton, a hamlet of three or four frame buildings at the point where one of the roads from Sudley eiiiers the Warrenton pike. This monument is at the mercy of vandals, and no one in particular being responsible for its welfare, it is decaying. In the liitie cemetery east of Groveton, where many of the Confeder ate soldiers whose bones were taken from trenches in the field, were later buried, there is a simple stone shaft built through the efforts of the Daugh ters of Hie Confederacy. It is coinp;) at ively new, having been put up with in tho last live years. The old brownstone monument among the cedars, that stands close to the graded way of the railroad which was building from the Manassas Gap railroad at Gainesville to Leesburg in 1M1. but which never was completed, and which marked Jackson's line during t he heavy fighting of August n and "o, is especially in need of care. These monuments, built on the fields while the signs of battle were fresh upon them, by the men who fought there, and in memory of comrades who died there, ought never to be allowed to disappear. Washington Star. SEMI-CENTENNIAL OF BOSTON "TECH." (American News Service) ItoHton, Mass., April 10. A notable Congress of Technology was opened at the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology today In connection with the celebration of the institute's semi centennial.

" 'Yes I told him. getting a little bit peeved, 'but 1 don't see what business It Is of yours what I intend to do with the ring after I've pnld for it out of my own prlva'e funds.' "'Don't be offended.' says the clerk In a conciliatory tone. 'I was Just go ing to suggest that if it was simply a present, with no engagement going with It, you go in for size rather than for quality, and when the girl comes In to Inquire about its value we'll lie $50 or $75 worth for you. Dut if it's iin engagement ring I would advise you to get the best quality you can find, even if It does mean a smaller "tone.

Woolson Spice Company Toledo Ohio Largest Importers of Coffee and Spices in the World Some Gossip Gathered From The Gay A merican Metropolis railadtum spefiai t New York, April 10. When Oscar I Hammerstein, the theatrical and op- jeratic manager a few months ago not J only abandoned his operatic venture t in New York but also w ithdrew from j Philadelphia, w here he had built an j opera house, there were many rumors ;in circulation that Mr. Hammerstein j had had a sudden attack of "cold feet" and had given up his operatic ven tures because he was afraid he would . lose money by them. Others were in- j lined to attribute his action to the difficulty of obtaining first class sing ers in competition with the Metropoli-' i tan opera managers, while still others i suspected that Mr. Hammersteiu's j withdrawal from the operatic field1 was the result of an agreement be tween him and the Metropolitan op- era managers, arranged with a view J of eliminating competition. At last the great secret has leaked out and it seems that the agreement theory was j correct. According to the story pub lished in a certain publication devoted to musical trade matters and advertis- i ing, an agreement was made between ' the Metropolitan opera interests and Mr. Hammerstein in April of last year j unuer w men .vir. Hammerstein was paid $1,200,000 for withdrawing from the operatic field in New York and Philadelphia. What a snap if this ac- count is true. Who wouldn't aree willingly not to give any operatic per formances in New York, Philadelphia or any w here else for a consideration of $1,200,000? It is safe to say that a great many persons would gladly sign such an agreement for a great deal less than $1,200,000. It is a rather odd coincidence that two days before the disastrous fire in the state capitol at Albany the state architect submitted his annual report to the legislature, calling attention to the fact that nearly all the state buildings are inadequately protected against (ire .and advocating sufficient appropriations to remedy the danger ous conditions existing in these build ings. The fact that the criticism by the state architect was aimed princi pally at the charitable, reformatory and penal institutions of the state and only incidentally to the condition of the state capitol, does not diminsh the significance of the report. The fire at the state capitol demonstrated the danger from Sre in a building fair ly well protected against such an emergency and pointed a lesson which the legislature of the state of New York should heed. The Sugar Trust surely has its trou bles. Not so very long ago an investi gation by the federal authorities es tablished the fact that the trust with the help of certain unscrupulous offi cials and employes had for years been defrauding the government in the pay ment of sugar taxes.

There are millions of people Five Flavors when the municipal government of New York put in a claim of more than $500,000 against the American Sugar i Refineries company for back water rents. Upon investigation it was found that for many years the trust hud been appropriating city water without laying for it. The trust refused to pay and when the city threatened to shut off the water supply of the trust's refineries the trust asked the courts for an injunction against the city. Now, however, the trust has been de nied the right to ask for an injunc tion, upon the ground that "under equity rules clean hands are neces sary to procure the interference of a court of equity between contesting parties, and that the company's ac tions debarred it from seeking re lief." It is expected that the investigation of the police department of New York by th grand jury will lead to interest ing and rather startling disclosures. Crime has never been more rampant in this city than at tne present time. while the lolice authorities seem to be unable to locate and arrest the per - petrators of the crimes. During the past nine months more than forty safes in New York and Brooklyn were "ripped" by yeggmen and robbed of their contents, amounting to many thousand dollars. The boldness of the j cracksmen in some of the cases was almost incredible, yet not a single ar rest was made and not a trace of the plunder was found by the police. There is evidence that all these rob beries were committed by the same gang, as the method of "ripping" the safes was the same in every instance. Only in one single case was an explos ive used to open the safe attacked. That was when the safe of the Savoy theater in Thirty-fourth street near Broadway was robbed a few months ago. Every year several thousand per sons are reported "missing" in New York City and the number often reaches from four to five thousand.

Of course, in many cases the persons reported missing merely left the city without taking the trouble to inform their friends of their change of location. In all these ! cases the disappearance is sooner or j later explained. But there are also ' many other cases in which the person j reported missing undoubtedly met j with foul r'aj- These cases are quite ; baffling to the police authorities and only in rare cases are the bodies of the victims found and the murderers arrested and convicted. It is safe to assume that about five hundred men ynd women are murdered every year in New York and their bodies buried or disposed of iu some other way, and only once in a great while are the po lice authorities able to find a trace of the victims or of the murderers. From time, immemorial schoolboys have been in the habit of playing all kinds of j ranks, many of which could by no means be classed among the in nocuous variety.
