YACHTS IN MARBLE.
UNIQUE MEMORIAL TO THE LATE VICE
COMMODORE COLT.
A Building of Stone Mont Elaborately
Carved lu Designs Keprenenting Various
Outdoor Sports—Erected at Hartford by
TWrs. Elisabeth Colt.
Hartford possesses one of the most
unique memorial buildings in the coun
try. It was recently dedicated and
thrown open for inspection. The struc
ture was erected by Mrs. Elizabeth Hart
Jarvis Colt, widow of the inventor of
the Colt revolver, to the memory of her
deceased son, the late Vice Commodore
Colt of the New York Yacht club.
Work on the memorial was begun in
1894 and has been completed under the
supervision of ex-Senator John R. Hills
of Hartford, the design being-furnished
by Mr. E. T. Potter of New York.
The late Vice Commodore Colt was a
man devoted almost exclusively to out
door sports, and he was especially fond
of yachting. All summer long he was
to be found on board his yacht, and it
was only during the winter that he re
turned to his Hartford home. He took
an interest also in all kinds of field
sports as well.
The memorial building is solidly con
structed of stone, most elaborately carv
ed in designs representing the various
pastimes in which he took pleasure.
The most striking feature in the embod
iment of this idea is that the building
is studded on all sides with the prows
of ships, Amt from solid stone. These
prows represent those of warships,
yachts and sailing vessels of almost ev
ery kind. A representation of the yacht
Dauntless, which was owned by Mr.
Colt, is carved from a huge block of
Ohio freestone, forming a part of the
balcony on the north side.
Many of the other carvings are from
designs suggested by Mrs. Colt, who
took great interest and pleasure in

COLT MEMORIAL BUILDING,
preparing them and giving instructions
to the artists. . The two main entrances
are each supported by imposing columns
of Scotch granite. There are four of
these, 10 feet in height and 2 feet in
diameter, and they support stone lintels
which bear the insciiptions, “Erected
A. D. MDCCCXCV, ” “In Memory of, ”
“Caldwell Hart Colt,” “By His Moth
er.” The carvings on these capitals are
to represent animate and inanimate na
ture as seen on land and sea. On the
east side are carved shells, the compass,-
blocks and other shipping tackle; on the
west the heads of bullocks, buffaloes, deer
and lambs, while oak leaves and pine
needles are most artistically grouped
beneath.
Over the main doors is carved the
hospitable inscription, “Welcome.” At
the east main doors are two columns of
Quincy granite, on the capitals of which
are carved representations of agriculture
and physical science. The granite col
umns of the west door are surmounted
with capitals carved with representa
tions of literature and the drama. The
antes are also carved to represent land
and sea. On the east side ’of the main
entrance are two large windows with
Milford granite columns, surmounted
by carvings representing spring and
summer, the two seasons denoted by
budding flowers and flowers in full
bloom respectively.
The chief feature of the interior is an
audience hall in which 400 persons may
be seated. The stairway leading from
the main entrance to this hall is of cut
Portland and Ohio stone. There are
eight small lancet windows on a line
with the steps, and above these are
24 small windows, of the same
size, with tiny panes of leaded glass set
into the stonework. On the platform
landing is a balcony carved out of a
single solid stone which weighed 20
tons when it was put in position. On
the south side of the landing is a win
dow looking into the assembly room.
This window is flanked on either side
by a green spar column. These columns
are something unique and are unlike
anything of the kind in the country.
They are of a most exquisite green color
and were secured especially for the
memorial.
©d.the south side of the hall is the
tribune, or raised platform. On the
wall back of it is hung the portrait of
the late Mr. Colt which was painted by
Eastman Johnson, the celebrated por
trait painter. Beside it is a beautiful
window of stained glass. The eight cor
bels supporting the roof are the carved
prdws of ships, and on each prow is a
shield on which is carved a yacht sig
nal. On either side of the tribune is
carved a ship under full sail. The floor
of the tribune is of marble, raised six
inches above the hall floor, the latter
being of maple. The four windows of
the tribune are filled with marble pan
els, on which Inscriptions are cut, and
there are other carvings designed to per
petuate the memory of the late Mr. Colt.
In the basement of the memorial is a
gymnasium 86 by 68 feet, in which there
is a full equipment of athletic apparatus
as well as bowling alleys, pool and bil
liard tables. There is a clubroom for la
dies in the east wing and one for gen
tlemen in the west wing. This part of
the memorial is omy a suggestion ot The
fine gymnasium with which Mr. Colt,
if he had lived, would probably have
enriched Hartford. C. J. Bowden.

The Ideal Panacea.
James L. Francis, Aiderman, Chi
cago, s iys: “I regard Dr. King's New
Discovery as an Ideal Panacea for
Coughs, Colds and Lung Complaints,
having used it in my family for the
last five years, to the exclusion of phy
sician’s prescriptions or other prepara
tions.”
Rev. John Burgus, Keokuk, lowa,
writes: “I have been a Minister of the
Methodist Episcopal church for 50
years or more, and have never found
anything so beneficial or that gave me
such speedy relief as Dr. King's New
Discovery.” Try this Ideal Cough
Remedy now. Trial Bottles Free at

Ingenious Peruvian Potteries.
A long, slim neck is a distinguishing
feature cf much of the Peruvian pot
teiy, and nearly every vessel is orna
ment! d with a figure of some sort, hav
ing holes to represent eyes and other
openings. These afford a passage for the
air forced out by the liquid when pour
ed into the vessel. By an ingenious con
trivance the air in escaping produces a
sound similar to the cry of the creature
represented. Thus a utensil decorated
with two monkeys embracing each oth
er, on having water poured into or from
it, would give a sound like the screech
ing of those animals. One decorated
with a bird would emit birdlike notes,
while a mountain cat on one jar would
mew; snakes coiled around another
would hiss. The most curious that we
have seen was the figure of an aged
woman. When the jar was in use, her
sobs became audible, and tears trickled
down her cheeks. The manufacturers
seemed to have known all about atmos
pheric pressure. Dr. Le Piongeon had
in his own collection a piece that, dem
onstrated this. It represented a dou
ble headed bird. The vessel had to be
filled through a hole in the bottom, and
yet in turning it over not a drop would
spill, but the liquid would readily flo»v
cut when"the jar was simply inclined.

Cautious Prophet.
In these days, when people are wont
to complain of any mistake made in the
prognostications sent out from the
weather bureau, it is amusing to read
of the complaisant manner in which
Clough, in his “New England Alma
nack” for the year 1702 and later, pre
dicted the weather.
“Perhaps,” he says, from the 15th
to the 23d of January, “it will be very
cold weather if it frese by the fireside
or on the sunny side of a fence at noon. ”
In April he says: “Perhaps wet
weather if it rains.” “Now fair weath
er if the sun shines. ” “Windy or calm. ”
And in July he writes pleasantly,
“If now the weather do prove fair, peo
ple to Cambridge do repair. ”
It appears that Mr. Samuel Clough
knew how to secure himself against
criticism.

Considerable quantities are made to

IN THE TRIBUNE’S TRADE EDITION
Wi’l Will Be Issued K -rly in Octcbdr
and Eclipse All Previous Efforts
In This Line.
Readers of The Tribune have
learned to look forward to each new
and successful achievment of Rome’s
great daily. We have issued several
special editions since the present
management has been in charge and
we are happy to say that each and
every one has been an improvement
on its predecessor as has been evinced
by the popular public favor with
which they have been received.
Early in October we intend to issue
a special edition which will eclipse
our previous efforts. Rome is steadily
growing and there is healthy and sub
stantial improvement going ou all
over the section of country tributary
to the North Georgia metropolis. Now
is the time to keep our advantages
before the people.
In no other way can this be done
quite so successfully as through the
medium of a widely circulated news
paper like The Tribune. Every edi
tion of a special character that we
have gotten out has gone abroad on
its mission of progress and the results
have been made apparent by the at
tention attracted to this section of
country.
We have endeavorad to make every
edition as full and complete as possi
ble, but in this one we want to cover
the whole ground. All that we ask is
the liberal co-operation of the people
for whom we have labored so earnestly
and for whom we expect to continue
to work as long as we control the des
tinies of The Tribune
It will be to the interest of every
business or professional man in North
Georgia and North and East Alabama,
to secure space in this great issue
The merchant, the manufacturer, the
land owner, the mine operator, the
professional man and all who are in
terested in educational, industrial
work, or emigration work, will he
benefitted by represention in its col
umns.
Not less than ten thousand readers,
in every part of the country, and
especially in the West and Northwest,
will read this great edition and profit
by the information gained from its
columns. Our solicitors are already
out and will make a thorough canvass
of the country contiguous to Rome
and we bespeak for them the consider
ation which they are entitled to in
promoting this laudable enterprise in
the interest of our city and sectio.n.
A Valuab’e Prescription.
Editor Morrison of Worthington,
Ind,, “Sun,” writes: You have a val
uable prescription in Electric Bitters,
and I can cheerfully recommend it for
Constipation and Sick Headache, and
as a general system tonic it has no
equal. ” Mrs. Annie Stehle. 2625 Cot
tage Grove Ave., Chicago, was all run
down, could not eat nor digest food,
had a backache which never left her
and felt tired and weary, but six bot
tles of Electric Bitters restored her
health and renewed her strength.
