\ THE BANNEK-WATCHMAN, ATHENS, GEORGIA, APRIL 2, 1889. ! AMERICA’S MONUMENT. INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE GREAT OBELISK AT WASHINGTON. •'We’ll-wait 'for you at 'the ttop, calls-out, and disappears. Vbc First Thine That Strikes Yoar Eye as You Enter the Capital—Ascending the ; Winding Stairs—The Paradise of En raptured Lovers and the Newly Wedded. [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, about tho prospects if . the car should #*« ^ ; i drop. Dignity is foigotten. The mill- Now the car comes down and-so many ionaire’s wife chats with the oyster can- 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 appears to think of George V/ashington! * « * 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.

There are several scores of these and more to be put in. Sauntering up and down are seen loving couples hand in hand. George Washington’s monument is an ideal lovers’ retreat. There are gloomy corners and inscriptions to stop and gaze at while hands are being squeezed and hearts are beating fast. Lovers scorn the elevator. And still up and up.

[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.” Ayer’s'Cherry - Pectoral, PREPARED BY Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass. Sold by all Druggists. Price SI; six bottles, $5.
