AMERICA’S TRIBOTE
TO ROGHAMBEAU
l«3e
V
eneral Who Struck Blow
or American Freedom.
CEREMONY GRANDLY IMPOSING
French Soldiers March on Penn,
sylvania Avenue and Old dlory
Entwined With Tri-Color.
Amid the enthusiastic demonstra
tions of a great concourse of people,
the superb bronze statue of Count de
Rochambeau, who brought the forces
of France across the seas at the hour
of greatest peril in the American revo
lution, was unve.led at the national
capital Saturday. Seldom has an
event presented so many brilliant fea
tures of military pageantry and at the
same time given occasion for the mani
festation of the strong bonds of friend
ship existing between the French re
public and the United States. For the
first - time In Its history Washington
city yitnessed the sight of Tank on
rank of French seamen swinging
through Pennsylvania avenue and
mingling their cheers with those of the
American blue Jackets and soldiers;
while at the same time the French
tri-color was entwined with the stars
and stripes and the sound of the “Mar
seillaise” was beard along with the
“Star Spangled Banner.”
The ceremony of unveiling occurred
at the southwest corner of Lafayette
square, almost directly opposite the
white house, where the massive figure
of the French general has been erect
ed. Surrounding the figure were great
stands to accommodate the many dis-
.tingulshed officials and guests invited
to take part in the exercises. On ev
ery hand the colors of France and
America were blended.
Distinguished Gathering.
Within this amphitheatre were gath
ered representatives of every branch
of the government, Including the pres
ident of the. United States and mem
bers of his cabinet, the chief justice
and associate Justices of the United
States supremo court, the lieutenant
general of the army and the admiral of
the navy, eenatou and representa
tives. Net less distih,. <ilsh d was the
representation of France, designated
by President Loubet, and Including
General Brugere, the highest field offi
cer In the French army! Vice Admi
ral Fournier, inspector general of the
French navy, the venerable General
Count Cha’.endor,. the descendants of
Rochambeau and Lafayette, and oth
ers distinguished : in French military,
official, literary and artistic life. Witt
them were the French ambassador, M.
Gambon, and tbe entire staff of the
French embassey, nil In brilliant dip
lomatic uniform, while the -diplomatic
corps was represented by the German,
Russian, Italian and Mexican ambas
sadors and the ministers from many
foreign countries.
President Roosevelt and the mem
bers of tne cabinet were escorted from
the white house by a file of minute
men, dressed in the uniform of conti
nental days. When the president ar
rived at the presidential stand the en
tire assemblage arose and greeted him
with lusty cheers. After an impres
sive invocation by Rev. Staulord, who
too!-: the p ace of Cardinal Gibbons,
Preside t Roosevelt delivered the ad
dress of welcome. He spoke In strong
voice and with great earnestness,
pausing frequently at the outbursts of
applause. '
Countess Rochambeau Unveils.
As the president concluded his ad
dress tbe Countess Rochambeau
caught up tbo cords to the flags envel
oping the statue and the massive
bronse figure emerged through the
folds of red, white and blue. At the
same time the “boom,” "boom” of an
artillery salute came from a battery
of heavy guns near by, and tbe strains
of the French national hymn, the
"Marseillaise” came from the marine
band. It was an inspiring moment,
and led by President Roosevelt, tbe en
tire assemblage joined in cheering. An-
.other demonstration occurred at tbe
close of General Brugere’s address,
when, with characteristic French ve.
bemence be gave this pledge of undy
ing Franco-Amerlcsn friendship:
"Entre vous, entre nous; a la vie, a
Is mort”
“Between you, between us; in Ufe,
In death.”
The ceremonies were the culmina
tion of the efforts of M. Jules Boeufve,
of the French embassy, extending over
the last two years. He has sought to
strengthen tho bonds of friendship be
tween the two countries, and to this
end has urged to a snccessfnl conclu
sion the legislation by which the
statue was mode possible.
BLACK WALNUT.
Wood That Has Become Too Valuable
to be Used, as Once, for Fence Ralls.
The best black walnut In the United
States Is found In Indiana. Forty
years ago there could be found in this
State a crop of black walnut unequal
led in quantity and quality. Today It
Is not to bo found in such Immense
trees. Neither Is tbe number of trees
by any means so numerous.! a Tears
ago the largest and best treeB were
used for fence rails and such common
purposes. At that time It had no par
ticular commercial value. Betoro wal
nut came idto general use, the most
of domestic furniture was of cherry.
Walnut has now entirely superseded
this and all other woods. Fence rails
can be found today through Indiana
that were split more than half a cen
tury ago, and they are as sound now
as then, save the wear and tear. Of
all hard woods the walnut Is most dur
able, save red cedar, and possibly In
the ground, black locust would equal
It.
Our walnut Is comparatively gone.
In isolated parts of the country, where
this timber grows, there is yet some
of inferior quality, but to p limited ex
tent. But the general black walnut
growing In tbe deep forest, In the rich
lowlands, in Its primitive nature, is a
thing of tbe past. Tbe general sup
ply must now be gathered from the
four quarters of the earth to supply a
demand that requires a century for its
culmination witnesses the astounding
spectacle of the almost entjre extinc
tion of the valuable material.
Kentucky has quite a good stock of
black walnut, and much that is very In
ferior on account of Its grey color and
tough, hard texture. Missouri also
has some of rather an Inferior quality.
Western Ohio and West Virginia Is
poor in quality.
The whole stock of the states is not
equal to a full demand for ten years
to come. Furniture manufacturers
do not now use it as lavishly as they
did five years ago. Other woods atje
substituted when possible, and 1,000
feet of walnut are made to go a’s far
again as It did a few years ago.
Chicago uses annually In her differ
ent branches of manufacture, such as
house, school and office furniture, al$o
In finishing material, doors, mouldings,
counters, &c., 14,600.000 feet. Prob
ably about half of this is bought at
the mills, and does not go into the ac
count of the dealers at all. Many of
the largest manufacturers direct, or
have mills or an Interest In, mills In
the walnut district.—Terre Haute
Gazette.
A FAD OF THE HOUR.
A fad of the hour Is the introduc
tion of the brightly colored hunting
pictures as a decoration for odd pieces
of furniture. Particularly noticeable
Is a hall chair which might find a
place in a household whose members
are given over to the pleasure of the
chase. The chair le ono of those slim,
high-backed affairs, the wood a dull
brown weathered oak. A panel in the
centre of the chair back shows a
huntsman in all the glory of his plnlc
coat, and with a riding whip in hand.
Straps of pigskin extending from tho
panel are buckled together halfway
between it and the chair seat. Tho
latter Is oddly upholstered, a folded
horse blanket overlaid with an Irregu
lar shaped piece of pigskin and jail
strapped together, forming a seat
unique In appearance, hut soft and
comfortable.

jam or preserves; and at the top place
a spoonful of whipped cream.

noise enough In that ,to keep you
awake.”—Washington Star

Enormoni Cost or War*
To successfully defend our eountry dur
ing the past century we spent many millions
of dollars for war purposes. There was also
a large sum of money spent by the people In
a vain search for health until Hostetter s
Stomach Bitters was Introduced fifty years
ago. To-day thousands of peopleiowe their
good health to Its use. It will cure head
ache, belching, Indigestion, dyspepsia end
malaria, fever and ague. A fair trial will
convince you of Its value.
