FULTON MEMORIAL.
Special Da3 to be Set Aside at James
town Exposition in Honor of the
Inventor of the Steamboat.
Norfolk, Va., Oct. 10.-Believ
ing that it is especially appropriato
that the name of Robert Fulton
should be honored at the James
town Ter-Oenitennial Exposition to
be held at Hampton Roads near
Norfolk in 1907, the authorities of
that great celebration have decided
to Set aside a day to be known as
Robert Fulton Day. The New
York state commissioners have ap
pointed Hugh Gordon Miller, now
of New York, but formerly of this
state, a representative to arrange
with the authorities for the special
honors which will be paid to the
memory of Robert Fulton at the
Exposition. He will appoint such
committees as may be necessary.
A movement is now on foot in
New York city to have a gigantic
monument erected in some part of
tho city commemmorating Fulton's
name. It is proposed to build this
memorial at a cost of more than
$600,000. It will serve not only
as a monument to the man who in
taoduced steam navigation but also
a s a tomb. Cornelius Vanderbilt
is the president and Mark Twain
the first vice-president of the asso
ciation which has been organized
to erect the monument.
Those at the head of the move.
mnuet desire to raise the money
necessary to erect the monument
by public subscription anid are
making vigorous efforts to popu
larise the movement. The official
name of the organization is the
Fulton Monument Association and
it has its headquarters in Park
Row, New York. A number of
designis-bave been submitted to the
association for its approval. The
one which has so far secured most
approval from the committee was
submitted by the sculptor, Leopold
Bracony, and shows on its base in
bass relief the industries that have
developed through the help of
steam navigation. It further syni
bolizes tl manner in which the
s teamboat has brough t togethem
the tour corners of the earth. Thi
monumnent is surmounted by
statute of Robert Fulton contem
plating a model of his first steam
boat, the Clermont-~ It is prOooe
to mount the statute ou a hollov
shaft, Inside of which will be:
winding stair.
Among the famous porsons asse
cinated in the project to honor Ful]
ton are the following pooph: Joh
Jacob Astor, Andrew Carnegu

it siould be overliowing with fruits I
and flowers, which overflow upon the j
table. It may be made of wire at a I
florist's for a dollar and covered with j
vines or leaves or tissue paper, says i
the Chicago Tribune, or It may be 9
covered with nougat or white candy I
and in that case would be filled with I
candy fruit, candy oranges and grapes. I
marrows and other nuts.
A pumpkin in the middle of the ta
ble is another favorite centerpiece and
can look most attractive if scooped and
filled with all the fruits of the season,
well combinod as to color, the grapes
drooping gracefully over the sides and
a few lying on the tablo. Gold and
red and brown chrysanthemums are
handsome in a pumpkin.
If the dinner be given at night the
candle shades may be homemade out
of ordinary paper and trimmed with
flowers and vines, or they may be
made of wail paper and trimmed with
a gilt band. If neither candles nor
table lamps are possible, either bring
the chandelier down over the table so
that Its softly shaded light may be
evenly distributed or hang a lamp in
Sthe same way from the toiling.
A table may be decorated with chrys
anthemunis, and in the center may be
the ship Mayflower. The cards may
.bear sketches of Puritan maidens or
pilgrim fathers or colonial scones.

first move of tihe carver is to insert the
fork astrido tihe breastbone at the
point, plunginlg it deep enough to se
cure a firmz hold. Then remove the
drumstick with one etrokeo of the knife,
first cutting through the skin down
to tile joint, hitting it sqJuarely. It is a
little diflicuit to locate tis joint, but
by pressing the leg away from the side
of tho turkey it is readily found. It is
claimed that the turkey carver does
not remove the fork from the breast
iutil he has ciuite finished. Be that as
it may, it is qiuito necessary to use the
fork ini separatinig the thigh from the
drumstick, and the hip ia a favorite
p~art withl manlhy. To accomplish this
make a V shaped cut toward the joint,
holding the thigh against the side o't
the turkey with the fork. The drum
stick drops off neatly into the platter.
The next stroke removes the wing. A
deep cut through the bail and socket
joint severs tis with a part of the
breast meat. If tile knife does not
strike the joint at first, move it back
and forth, pressing the wing away
from the bodly, disclosin~g tihe ball of
