THE PERRY MEMORIAL.
Description of Column Erected at Put.
in-Bay Together With Museum
and Colonnade.
Tha.t part of Wednesday's celebra
tion which was held at Put-in-Bay
took place upon the site of the Perry
memorial, which is now in the initial
stages of erection. The central mo
tive of the memorial, as it will be
when completed, is a column 335 feet
in height which stands alone and dom
inates the surrounding waters an
country. It is surmounted by a mas
sive bronze tripod, the bowl of which
is illuminated by means of a cluste
of 100 incandescent lights. Three
hundred feet distant from the column
and slightly elevated on terraces are
a museum and colonnade. The mu
seum is to house a collection of Per
ryana as well as arms, books, paint
ings, engravings and relics,' which are
reminiscent of the war of 1812. The
colonnade, a "pendant" of the mu
seum. incloses on three sides a heroic
bronze statue 15 feet in height typi
fying Peace by arbitration.
The three structures stand in a pla
za 75 0 feet in length and extending
450 feet in width, from the waters of
Lake Erie to those of Put-in-Bay,
From the latter the plaza Is reached
by a 'broad flight of steps, forming
the main approach, at the bottom of
which a landing stage for small boats
is provided. Besides insuring an archi
tecturar base for the general conipo
sition, the plaza is intended to serve
for exercises and ceremonies requiring
the accommodation of large assercv
blages.
The memorial rotunda at the base
of the column is faced with Indiana
limestone and is entered through four
bronze doors facing the cardinal
points of the compass. The floor of
the rotunda is three feet below the
level of the terrace outside and is
reached by four flights of granite
steps. It is composed of Tennessee
marble and in, its center a bronze
statue of Perry will guard the bones
of the battle heroes to be buried in
the rotunda to-day. Their names, as
well as those, of all others who fought
in me Datxje or ijokb xurie are carve a
in stone panels. '
The museum,- 85 feet long and 64
wide, contains an exhibition hall the
height of the building, with a gallery
supported on columns running around
it. At each end space for paintings
illustrating the battle is provided. A
frieze of panels carved in granite and
bearing the shields of the 48 states of
the Union runs around the facade
of the building. The architect of the
memorial is J. H. Freedlander of New
York city. His associate in the work
was A. r. Seymour,- Jr., also of New
York city.

A POPULAR EPISODE IN FICTION
A frequent and notable figure in
modern , fiction is the young woman
who becomes an actress and, without
adequate preparation or experience,
replaces the leading lady at a mo
ment's notice and achieves a sensa
tional success.
It is hard to imagine anything more
preposterous than this episode, oft re
peated and seldom laughed at by. the
average reader of fiction. To ac
cept it is to acknowledge that acting
is not an art but merely an ability
to look nice or scream or perform a
few easily acquired tricks. Transpose
the Incident to some other profession
and we realize its absurdity. "The
conjurer has missed his train and
cannot appear. Who will take his
place?" "I will!" cries the janitor, and
in another moment he is taking rab
bUs out of the ears of .leading citi
zens. "The great surgeon is not here
and delay is fatal. -. Who will perform
the major operation?." "I will!" cries
the piano tuner, as he seizes the carv
ing knife and bares his arm to the
elbow. Fiction of this sort does an
incalculable amount of harm because
it keeps alive in the minds of foolish
young women the idea that success on
the stage is merely a matter of for
tunate opportunity. Acting is an art
that very few can ever hope to master
and then only by the hardest sort of
work ' and sublime patience. New
York Herald.
PEOPLE WHO EAT TOO MUCH.
Jane Addams has perhaps made a
more thorough intelligent and prae
tlcal study of conditions among the
poor of great cities than any other
woman living. She Is the highest
authority oh social settlement work.
And she says that the poor eat too
much . -
She tells of one woman who object
ed to a standard menu urged upon her
saving:
"I don't like to eat what's nutri
tious. I like to eat what I'd ruther."
- Miss Addams tells of families on
meager and uncertain incomes which
spend more money for food for each
member of the family than do families
of immense income.
And strange as it may seem, such
cases are not exceptional. Observa
tion of them is not confined to social
settlement workers. They are not
confined to. Chicago or even to great
cities. Any grocer; can tell you that
his most profitable customers are not
the rich, but the poor. Hartford Post
After Fifty Years
Le grand Jackson, a Norwalk jeweler,
had a novel and profitable experience
recently when Samuel Hitchcock re
turned a loan of $500 which he had
borrowed of Mr. Jackson's brother, Al
fred Jackson, fifty years ago.
