[Special Correspondence.]
Washington. March 21.—Everybody
goes to see the monument. Of the many
thousands of patriots who came here
during the inauguration jubilee, it is es
timated one-quarter made the ascent of
the great white shaft. Train conductors
say the monument is the first thing in
coming passengers begin to talk about.
There is a rush to the car windows and a
PACKING THIS ELEVATOR CAR.
flood of inquiries. Once within the city, it
is impossible to escape the fascination of
this huge obelisk. It can be seen, tower
ing to the clouds, from all parts of .the
District of Columbia. Wherever one
goes its beautiful proportions and bright
apex are in view, stimulating sentiment
and exciting curiosity. The visitor may
be a veritable aborigine, a stoic, in his
indifference to those thnlgs which attract*
the common eye, but there is a fascina
tion about this overshadowing structure
which in the end conquers all comers.
“Oh, I don't want to see the monu
ment,” says the indifferent visitor to the
capital; “1 have read all about it.
Wouldn’t walk across the street to see it.”
This is on the day of his arrival.
Hourly thereafter his vision falls upon
the shaft. The farther he goes from it
the ialler it seems to him. The nearer
his view the vaster it appears. Those
little dark spots away up near the top,
which he knows to be windows, attract
bis attention. Qe wonders what can be
seen from them, how it feels to be up so
high and what sort of a view it is the
bird gets of a great city. This goes on
for a day or two, and then he says to his
friends:
“Suppose we make up a party and go
over to the monument this afternoon.
*
« •
It is one of the days of tlje inaugu
ration period. There are so many people
awaiting a chance to ride up the eleva
tor that a line has formed outside the
base of the shaft. The people huddle to
gether close to the great stones in order
to find protection from the wind. They
find themselves standing on top of a hill
fifty feet above the surrounding land. It
is an artificial hill, built up out of a
swamp. They amuse themselves looking
up with cheek resting against the wall.
The monument appears as if it were
about to topple over upon them. It is a
startling illusion. Here two men observe
that some of the stones have cracks in
them, that pieces of granite liave peeled
off and fallen. One says the monument
will collapse in a hundred years. An
other thinks it will be a thousand. A
civil engineer, a man who seems to know
he nearer heaven than they had ever hoped,

passengers alight that the hopes of the ner; the governor tickles the freedman’s
waiting ones, who have feared they, ribs and they laugh together. Strange
would be compelled to wait till another element of human nature, that nobody
trip, are revived.- As soon as all have
passed out the loading begins.
“Now, take*it easy, ladies' and gentle
men," cries the attendant, as the crowd
begins to push and surge. “One at a
time now; don’t push.”
At the door of the car stands the con
ductor, who is also the loader. He is a
skillful man. Probably ho could beat
the average woman packing a trunk. At
any rate he beats all records in packing :
elevator cars. He makes the people sit
just 60, and stand just so. He cords his
passengers up, haying an eye to their
thickness and thinness. A fat man he
stands in the middle with a lean man on
either side. In the next layer are three
men of average size. Children are used
to fill in the interstices. There are some
strange juxtapositions in this human sar
dine box. The wife of a New York mill
ionaire and a Baltimore oyster canner
are standing closer than sisters. The
governor of a western state has been
crowded into such a position that he has
his arms almost around an ex-slave from
Virginia.'
When the packing is completed the
conductor shuts the door. A man is beg
ging to be taken aboard. He repeats the
stale joke, “There’s always room for one
more,’’ but the conductor sadly shakes
his head. He pulls the wire rope and the
ascent is begun. The conductor becomes
communicative, too.
•
• •
“That joke about always room for one
more makes me very tired,” he says. “I
hear it about four times out of five when
I get my load on, and you can imagine
that it has become a little monotonous.
I know when the car is fulL We carry
just thirty-five persons, not counting
babies in arms, and I count the people as
they come through the door. I don’t
vary the number except on rare occa
sions. People average up to a nicety in
weight and size. Still Qiere are excep
tions. Once I struck a party of young
people from New England. I was able

« *
Now the car stops. _ The top has been
reached at last. Ah 'out. Everybody is
surprised at the roominess of this ob
servatory, 500 feet above the ground.
There is more room here than at the bot
tom. That is because the walls are thin
ner. Here they are but eighteen inches
thick; at the base they are fifteen feet.
A hundred people can* stand here 'in
comfort. There are eight windows, and
“WE’LL WAIT FOR YOU AT THE TOP.”
what he is talking about, calmly says
that the shaft will stand a million years,
unless sooner thrown down by an earth
quake.
The Inaugural visitors are numerous.
In one day 10,500 persons make the as
cent. There 4s a closely packed crowd
inside, gathered round the elevator in
closure and huddled under the iron
6tairs. As there is but one door to the
shaft the attendants require visitors to
walk around the elevator before enter
ing the car, leaving an open passage for
the exit of those coming down. The car
is on its way up now, and the crowd
impatiently awaits its descent. A turn
ing of the face upward shows a gloomy
well, a mass of iron beams, a few dim
Incandescent lamps, a* study in aerial
perspective, and away up, just discerni
ble, a bit of daylight. The visitors think
they are crowded here. White and black,
silks and rags, are 'jostling together. But
let. them wait till they get into the car
before talking of a crush. Some have
not tho patience to wait. The attendant
tells them the ascent of the car requires
ten minutes, and the descent ten or
twelve more. So they start up the
stairs. It is a gentle acclivity, a good,
broad iron step, and the journey is begun
with nimble feet. A smooth faced, jolly
man, accompanied by two ladies some
what his junior, starts off at a great rate,
gayly waving his handkerchief to his
DK>re patient friends below.
WHERE HE WAITED,
to get in forty-one of ’em, and the closer
I crowded them the better they liked it.
Once we had a party of brewers here,
and I was astonished to find {he car full
at twenty-nine.
“Are the women afraid the elevator
will break down? Not many. Never had
a woman faint on my hands yet. Several
men-have asked me to 6top and let them
off, and my experience is that the men
are more timid about this thing than the
women. About two weeks ago an odd
incident occurred here. You see that the
car jolts a little on the up trip. It doesn’t
do that coming down. Well, we were on
our way up and had reached the 850 foot
level, when a woman was taken seasick,
and we had to stop and let her off. She
was very sick, and an awkward place
this is for trouble of that sort.
“We played a joke on a man here one
day that I thought was pretty clever.
He was intoxicated, and made a nuisance
of himself. I stopped the car, opened
the door and sung out: ‘Top of the mon
ument. All out; but this gentleman out
first.’ As soon as the drunken passenger
had stepped out I closed the door and
pulled the string. We let that man out
at the forty foot level.”
*
Up and up goes the car. Soon the air
begins to feel damp and cool, like that
of a cavern or cellar. There are queer
echoes. The whistle of a boy sounds
like a steamboat’s blast at a landing,
Some youngsters, running on ‘the iron
steps, produce a racket which makes a
timid little man think the monument is
falling down. Two or three workmen,
riding on top of the car, halloo to the
''conductor to 6top, and their voices
sound strange and uncanny. And still
up and up. After what seems to be a
journey of a quarter hour the 800 feet
mark is seen. And here tho passengers
break into a titter, for the smooth faced,
jolly man, who.left his friends so gayly
at the foot of the shaft, w beheld reclin
ing on tho stairs, his hat beside, him,
.wearily wiping his rainy face.
500 FEET ABOVE THE EARTH,
though from the ground they appear
mere 6pecks of black, here they are seen
to be large enough for a man to jump
out through. Strange that nobody has
yet availed himself of the opportunity.
There is no glass in these windows, but
they can be closed with slabs of stone
swung in iron frames.
Of course it is a marvelous view from
this observatory. Tho Potomac looks
like a trout brook. The Virginia hills,
are at r your feet. The city spreads out
like a figure in the carpet of your parlor.
On a clear day the blue hills of Virginia
can be seen. With a good glass the bat
tle field of Manassas, twenty-five miles
away, can be discerned. BOys playing
baseball on the sandy shores of the river
resemble the ants you sepat your feet
when strolling on terra firma.
•
* *
Only those who walk up or down the
stairs realize the immensity of the struc
ture. This makes one think of the Father
of his Country, too, for the tablets breathe
adoration and love of him. Some of these
monuments within the monument tell,
too, of the unworthiness of hi3 children.
There are scapegraces in all families,
and George Washington has not escaped.
The vandal has been here. He has
scribbled his name everywhere, even on
the carved open Bible. “John Smith”
is scrawled across the granite offering
of Egypt, which is older than history.
Sculptured figures in bas relief have lost
arms, heads, legs. A locomotive, carved
in stone by workmen of Philadelphia!!,
has had its piston rod broken off ami car
ried away, and half the spokes of its
driving wheel. So many of the bronze
letters screwed upon one of the tablets
have been removed that one can only
guess what the original inscription was.
Shameful vandalism in a sacred spot.

[Special Correspondence.]
Ampala, Honduras, Feb. 2G.—Look in
your geography and you will find Hon
duras to be a fair strip of land nearly .as
large as New England, located in Span
ish America, and stretching from the
Caribbean sea to the Pacific ocean. It is
wholly within the torrid zone. They
call it the New El Dorado, perhaps just
ly.- From what I have seen of it the
country is certainly beautiful, the laud
most fruitful.
Centuries ago, when the Spaniard was
lord of this realm, Honduras paid vast
tribute to the mother country, and gold
was as plentiful as any of the baser
metals. In fact it is more a statement
of historic truth than a romantic legend
that the Spaniards in Honduras, 800
years ago, shod their horses with golden
6hoes, iron being more difficult to obtain
than the yellow stuff. So rich was the
country that Spain built a massive for
tress on the Caribbean sea to hold tlio
royal treasure. The “king’s fifth,”
which was demanded from Honduras of
all the bullion gathered, was a mighty
sum, and the ruins of the okl fort show
today the great vaults where tho gold
bricks were piled. Spain built her pal
aces, cathedrals and ships with the
money from her distant possessions, and
when Honduras aided in driving her
from the field the loss to the Castilian
was inestimable.
***
I suppose Honduras now is* ns rich in
bidden treasure as she was then. The
entire country is filled with half worked
mines, and to the superficial looker on
the new El Dorado is really located in
the slow, easy going and tropical repub
lic. But, if so, it will never be developed
by native energy, for of that there is
none. A Honduras native, or half breed,
toils not, neither does he spin. A little
ccffee, a few bananas, a bunch or two of
peppers, and a dash of maize supply his
physical wants. -^§ese the soil gives
him without cultivation, and he is con
tent to doze his life away. He may
work occasionally in the mines, where
bis pay is fifty cents a day, in debased
coin; but he is not a steady toiler,
and he has no idea of progression
or advancement. One cannot blame
him. The climate may be saiubrious,
but it is hot and enervating. When the
American comes here, as he does occa
sionally, with his dash and hurry—for
fifteen millions of American money is
already invested in the Honduras mines
—he soon loses his activity and settles
down into a thin, slow moving south
erner, with a well developed liver. He
and whila he talks loudly for Honduras, I
in his heart he knows there is no piace
like home. Still, I cannot decry this
interesting republic, for much of it is
fairy Lind, and its volcani^ hills are
magnificent as well as productive. As
compared with people I have seen in
Costa Rica and Colombia, the inhabi
tants of Honduras are really Christian
ized and civilized, but their industrial
developments arc a hundred years or
more behind those of the United States.
In agriculture, still more. A wooden
plow, drawn, by a yoke of oxen, is a fa
miliar sight ; and corn is ground in about
the same manner that the Egyptians
ground it 8,000 years ago. -
In planting grain a long sharp stick
is used, with which a hole is made in the
ground, the grain, dropped in and left to
nature and the rich soil without any
further attention from the husbandman
till harvest time. And yet good crops
are raised. ,
The-business habits of the people are
simple, and judging by the ease with
which every matter of business is char
acterized it would lead to the assump
tion that they were not accustomed to
trade, yet such is far from the truth.
They bargain well, whether the amount
be for a dollar's worth or a dime’s. The
store is generally in one corner of a front
room, opening on the 6treet and resem
bling an old fashioned corner cupboam.
Here are stowed laces, muslins, prints,
groceries and other commodities. The
retail price of an article is less than the
quantity price. By the quantity it is
more than likely to be double in price,
for the simple reason that you want
them and therefore must pay. In the
two cities, however, are found large
stores, the proprietors of which do busi
ness on a more modern method.
In many of the large towns are * mar
ket places, where the country people go
to 6ell their marketing—corn, beans,
oranges, lemons, pineapples, melons,
coffee, tobacco, sugar, cheese—in fine,
everything from the haciendas to tempt
the appetite and apiiease it. The sen-
orita, with her dark olive skin well
washed for the occasion, in her nice
camisa not reaching to her waist, and
with a skirt independent of any contact
above, smokes her cigarit* and laughs
with the bargainer, while h6r sparkling
eye's entice the unwary foreigner to pur
chase at an exorbitant rate.
Outside the minps and the two big cit
ies there is practically no labor. Farm
ing is little known. The pineapple, the
banana, thejime, the orange, the cocoa-
nut, the coffee bean and the pepper grow
in wild luxuriance. They furnisl food
and drink. As for raiment, that Is sim
ply ornamental—not necessary. In the
country they wear next to nothing, and
the people are so densely ignorant that
they know of no outside world and have
no ambition beyond the animal needs of
the day. The government is modeled
after the United States, but the voting is
confined to the cities. Away from them
people scarcely take advantage of the
suffrage.
The president of the republic is, as a
matter of fact, an absolute despot. The
one now in power happens to be an intel
ligent, earnest and ediltatcd man, Louis
Bogran by name. He is a half breed,
who was sent abroad and educated in
Germany. His predecessor stole a few
millions and now affects New York. Bo
gran is doing what he can to develop
- the country and is prodigal in his land
gifts to foreigners. I was talking yester
day with Mr. J. B. Daniels, principal
owner of the Potosi mines, in the Depart
ment of Chouluteca. He is a Philadel
phian, who three years ago came to Hon
duras. From the coast he worked his
way to the capital on the only two modes
of conveyance, the back of a native and
the back of a mule. He saw Bogran
told him ho was looking for a tract of
land rich in mineral, which, if he found
he would try to develop. Bogran sent
him down toward tho Nicaragua line,
where Mr. Daniels found what he wanted.
Then Bogran presented him with one
hundred miles of rich territory, an abso
lute legal gift, and told him to do what
he could with it. Mr. Daniels did so, and
is today the owner of a mine which
yields him a couple of thgysand dollars
worth of gold a week. “If our people
will not develop our mines some one
must,” says Bogran, so lie gives away
miles of territory to any foreigner who
wants it.
Rich as Honduras is, it is not a pleas
ant place to live in. The hot season lasts
from January to December, aud for six
months of that time -rain is added to
heat and life is a burden. What com-
passeth a man if he gain the’gckl of the
earth and loses the joys of existence?
True it i3 that when the pres ident gives
a grand ball at the capital suj ierb appear
ing women robo themselves in imported
dresses, diamonds flash, and the scene is
gay and brilliant as a famous dance at
Delmonico’s or a diplomatic fete at Paris
or Berlin. But the cultured and the rich
are very few in number. The people, as
a rule, are strangely simple, ignorant and
dull. They live in an atmosphere of the
past, and, while a grade above the Costa
Ricans, they have no knowledge, and.
consequently no yearning for our modem
civilization. Frederick W. White.
To Assist Nature
In restoring diseased or wasted tissue is
all that any medicine can. do. In pul
monary affections, such as Colds, Bron
chitis, and .Consumption, the mucous
membrane first becomes inflamed, then
accumulations form in the air-cells of
the lungs, followed by tubercles, and,
iiually, destruction of the tissue. It is
plain, therefore, that, until the hacking
cough is relieved, the bronchial tubes
can have no opportunity to hedl.
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral
Soothes and Heals
the inflamed membrane, arrests the
wasting process, and lesfves no injurious
results. This is why it is more highly
estemeed than any other pulmonary
specific. _
L. D. Bixby, of Bartonsville, Vt.,
writes: “Four years ago I took a se
vere cold, which was followed by a
terjihle cough. I was very sick, and
confined to my bed about four mouths.
My physician finally said I was in con
sumption, and that' lie could not help
me. One of my neighbors advised me
to try Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. I did so,
aud before I had taken half a bottle was
able to go out. By the. time I had
finished the bottle I was well, and have
remained soever since.”
Alonzo P. Daggett, of Smyrna Mills,
Me., writes: “ Six years ago, I was a trav
eling salesman, and at that time was
suffering with
Lung Trouble.
For months I was unable to rest nights.
I could seldom lie down, had frequent
choking spells, and was often com
pelled to seek the open air for relief.
I. was induced to try Ayer’s Cherry
Pectoral, which helped me. Its con
tinued use has entirely cured me, and, I
believe, saved iny life.”

Poor Americans.
An American man-of-war’s man was
once in a Washington church on an
Easter Sunday. Seeing an American
flag laid down in tho aisle, he indignantly
asked what it was placed there for. He
was told that it was to save the carpet.
Thereupon Sailor Jack picked up the
