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.
