WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
FROM TIIE CORNER STONE IN 1848 TO
THE CAPSTONE IN 1884.
Exceeding Height of the Shnft—Curious
View tram the Summit—Programme ot
Celebration,
[From the New York Herald.]
The work of removing tlie staging,
derricks and nets from the top of the
Washington Monument is completed,
and the memorial shaft can now be seen
in its simplicity of lofty grandeur. The
corner stone was laid by President Polk,
July 4, 1848. The capstone and alum¬
inum tip were set December G, 1884.
Thus far only the monument proper has
been finished. Tho base and surround¬
ings are yet to be completed, while as
yet not even the plans for this last work
have been agreed upon. This monu¬
ment, whose square at the base is only
iifty-three feet, gradually tapering to
forty feet at the beginning of the pyra¬
midal roof, notwithstanding its great
height, does not appear as imposing to
those who live in Washington as to
ithose who visit the city and see it for
the first time. Perhaps familiarity with
its steady rise has diminished interest
in the fact that it is the highest struc¬
ture in the world. For nearly a quarter
of a century it remained at 196 feet. The
weather beaten marble discloses where
Hhe masons stopped work at the close of
the season in 1854. It was in that year
that tho memorial stone presented to
the Washington Monument Society by
Pope Pius IX. was broken into frag¬
ments and the pieces sunk in the middle
of the Potomac. From that time until
Congress assumed the responsibility of
finishing tho shaft the Washington^
.Monument Society found but very little
if any public encouragement for finish¬
ing the design projected by the society.
Tt is a coincidence that while Engineer
(Jasey and his assistants in charge of the
work were setting the capstone on Satur¬
day, December 6. 1884, at two o’clock,
p. m., the third Plenary Council of the
Catholic Church in the United States
hundred were finishing their labors in which a
abbots had archbishops, bishops and mitred
taken part.
The cost of the shaft is, in round
numbers, $1,100,000, of which $200,000
was raised by the society and $900,000
appropriated by the government. It is
remembered by many who were school
children when the corner stone was laid
that an appeal was made throughout
the country to the pupils of the public
schools, each to contribute one cent to
help build a* monument to the memory
of the great Washington. Whether the
ponny so contributed by tho writer is to¬
day a part of the grand contribution out
of which the firs* 1.50 feet was erected
it is impossible to say.
It is a towering pile, visible for many
miles down the Potomac, overtopping
the Capitol and the first object beheld
by travelers approaching Washington
by rail. Unfortunately a site was
selected not many feet above the water
line of the Potomac, so that the extra¬
ordinary height is not so readily ob¬
served as if the pile were on some emi¬
nence, such as Capitol Hill or Meridian
Hill. When Pennsylvania avenue was
flooded a few years ago by the waters of
the Potomac being backed by an ice
blockade the base of the monument was
surrounded by water. The flat ground
in this reservation is unencumbered by
buildings. A little distance to the south
is the Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
which by the measure of the eye looks
like a squatty building compared with
the height of the monument. Its tower,
110 feet high, is as a pipestem alongside
of this massive marble obelisk. The
Smithsonian Institution, on the same
reservation, has its giant towers dwarfed
into Lilliputs as contrasted .with the
grand height of the Washington Monu¬
ment.
If the readers of the Herald care to
make their own contrast let them stand
in front of Trinity Church, on Broadway,
and imagine, if they can, the height of
the steeple just double what it is. Its
height is put down at two hundred and
eighty-four feet. Twice that would be
live hundred and sixty-four feet, or about
thirteen feet higher than the aluminum
apex of the Washington Monument.
By contrast with the surrounding build¬
ings, many of which in the neighbor¬
hood of Trinity are higher than the pub¬
lic buildings in Washington, some idea
may be had of where such a towering
monument carries the e.ye. From the
south front of the State Department or
from tho windows of the President’s
house it does not strike the observer as
being such a wonderful object; but at
its base, looking up at its sides, or on
Pennsylvania avenue, looking down the
Department sloping roadway west of the Treasury
just where the sight undi¬
verted can take in the ground and fol¬
low the sharp lines to the top, then its
proportions and elevation are truly re¬
vealed. Tho Mimo of the Capitol is but
307 feet in Vaught, und the western view
of the obelisk from there impresses one
that its summit is always in the clouds.
The marble quarried for this great
work came from Maryland. It has a
clean, bright look, and is not likely to
become soiled, as the front of the Cap¬
itol perpetually is, with dust and dirt.
If it were a few shades darker it would
add considerably to the effect, for most
of the time the marble tint and cloudy
background arc of the same hue. The
well through which the elevator has car
ried every block to its final resting place
will eventually be walled with an iron
stairway, and another elevator provided
for passengers who are not afraid to risk
their lives in the ten minutes it requires
to reach the upper landing. Just above
the line of the pyramidal roof, at an ele¬
vation of 520 feet, there are small win¬
dows, out of which tho city of Wash¬
ington looks like a toy. town. Long
Bridge becomes as a thread and the me
andering water of the Potomac a ribbon
cf silver. The hills of Virginia and
Maryland are outlined like so many
housetops, and appear as an immense
amphitheatre of woods. The people
beneath walkiug Pennsylvania avenue
look like black dots. Carriages and
horses are but children’s playthings.
The engineering skill required to
strengthen the foundation to bear the
enormous weight which is piled upon it
is one of the wonders of this marvelous
piece of masonry, though now invisible.
It is 23-J feet deep and 80 feet square at
the bottom, and carried up in steps o f
about 3 feet rise and 1$ feet tread, the
top being 58 feet square. Fifty thou¬
sand tons of marble, it is calculated,
rest upon this foundation without caus¬
ing variation in its level.
PROGRAMME OF THE CELEBRATION.
The joint commission appointed by
Congress to report a programme for
the celebration of the completion is still
considering the subject. The 22d of
February, next year, falls on Sunday,
so the preceding day has been agreed
upon for the ceremonial. General
Sheridan has consented to act as chief
marshal, and Mr. Kobert C. Winthrop,
who delivered the address at the laying
of the corner stone in 1848, is announced
to deliver the oration in the hall of the
House on its completion. As yet these
are all the features settled upon. Con¬
gress has appropriated $7,500 to be ex¬
pended in printing cards of invitation,
programmes, etc., and another sum has
been given to carry out the details of
the plan. Preceding, as it will, the in¬
auguration of President Cleveland but
eleven days, it is expected that thou¬
sands of strangers will be attracted to
the Washington ceremonial and remain
until after the other great event.
THOSE UN WHOLESOME SWEETS.
Adulterations of Candy—Chalk and Starcli
Largely FniRloyed.
“Do you believe that much of the
candy sold in this city is deleterious ?”
asked a reporter of a Ban Francisco
candy-maker.
Vi do. There is no disguising the
fact that chalk and starch enter largely
into the composition of candy. I want
you to distinctly understand that I refer
more especially to the small traders,
who cannot possibly afford to make a
wholesome bonbon at the prices at
which they sell. The most deleterious
mixtures are those intended for chew¬
ing. They are made of wax and tallow,
in which starch is largely introduced.
The quality required in this class of
candy is their capability to last. Com¬
mon sense will tell you that they cannot
possibly be made of good material. See
how many of those chewing-sticks can
be bought for five cents, and you can
judge for yourself of their value. Then
those peppermint drops are especially
deleterious, as also are all heavily-col¬
ored candies. The best candy coloring
comes from the town of Stuttgart, in
Germany, and mostly all the principal
manufacturing establishments in the
world purchase their color there. Scien¬
tific men are employed to mix the col¬
ors, and so they are perfectly inocuous.
Now, take for example one of these
petty stores. They have a great pot of
paint, in which they poke a beam of
wood, drag out a lump of paiut and mix
into the mess upon which tliej’ are work¬
ing. This is the style of manufacture
which very generally obtains among a
certain class of dealers. Then I must
class among dangerous candies those
styled ‘cough candies.’ A big refuse
box is kept in these establishments,
into which is thrown broken candy and
all manner of rubbish. I myself have
seen the sweepings of the floor thrown
into tho box. From this conglomeration
of nastiness is manufactured that candy
which is fondly believed to cure a
cough and soothe an irritated throat.”
“What is the percentage sold in this
city of good candy ?”
“I do not think over 50 per cent, is
actually fit to be eaten. But then the
manufacturer is not wholly to blame.
The consumer is always desirous of cut¬
ting down prices, though there is grad¬
ually being introduced into this city a
superior class of candy. It would pay
you were you to stroll through some of
these new establishments and see the
amount of work expended upon some of
the fancy boxes and baskets. To give you
au idea of the value of a confectioner’s
services I will tell you that a prominent
New York firm paid lately a Frenchman
$500 for four days’ work, during which jellies
time he taught how to combine
and fruit juice with candies.”
“Have you any dull season in your
business ?”
“We have. The dull season may be
said to last from June to September.
That is when the schools are closed and
the children have gone into the country.
We look upon these few months as very
bad indeed for business. Now, however,
tho holidays are approaching and the
candv man’s hopes are at their highest. ”
The Terrible Plague.
The plague in the Cumberland Moun¬
tains began when the wells and springs
went dry, and was doubtless the result
of using water that w, s impure. The
few physicians there say that the water
contained mineral poison of some kind,
because only a mineral poison would
have produced the gripings, the burning
fever and thirst, and the bloody evacua¬
tions that marked the disease. They
say that ores of copper and arsenites
abound in the mountains. The scarcity
of educated medical help and the pecu¬
liar habits of the people undoubtedly
made the disease more fatal. When onee
a member of a family was stricken the
rest were pretty sure to follow, and this
was due in many eases to a lack of prop¬
er care for the sick and to a failure to
properly dispose of the excreta. The
people usually increased tried to doctor themselves
and this the fatality. Besides
a great variety of patent, nostrums, the
favorite remedies were liberal doses of
hot mutton tallow, hog’s grease mixed
with burnt (mulled) brandy, decoctions
of tobacco and of blackberry roots, and
all sorts of herb tea*, and at all stages of
the disease whisky, There are not
over fifteen physicians in the eight coun¬
ties, but if there had been a hundred
the people in many sections would not
have hired them. In 1S54 a similar but
less virulent plague raged through t hese
mountains. There were more physi¬
cians tlieu, but they knew less of medi¬
cine than the people they tried to care
for. Q xinine and calomel were the
favorite remedies, and the consequent
deaths created a not unnatural prejudice
in the minds of the people. Many of the
people are absolutely destitute.
Only a Joke. —A very dangerous joke
was played at Sharon. Pa., a few days
a with g°j hy a colored boy, who filled a pipe
powder and gave it to a companion
to smoke, the result being that both of
them were seriously burned about the
eyes.
HER FORTUNE SAVED.
SINGULAR SERIES OP ACCIDENTS
THAT MADE AN INTENDED BRIDE
HAPPY.
How the Misfortunes of a Man Turnecl to
a Benefit in tite End;
A letter from Middletown, Orange
county, N. Y.,says: A man liviLg not
far from this place wrote to a friend
here about four weeks ago, to buy thirty
shares of the stock of the Middletown
National Bank, which has since failed.
The money to be thus invested was
a trust in his hands for a niece, who was
soon to be married. The money had
previously been invested upon bond and
mortgage, which had matured and had
been paid. The Middletown friend did
not know of thirty shares for sale in
a lump, but he knew where about two
thirds of the required amount could be
picked up, and he had no doubt that the
entire number of shares could be pro¬
cured at an early date. The amount of
the trust fund was $3,750—enough to
buy thirty shares at $125, at which the
stock was quoted before the failure.
A- certified check was procured from
the bank where the money had been
deposited for the full amount, and duly
indorsed in a letter directed to the Mid¬
dletown man who was to negotiate the
purchase. On the way to the Post
Office, which was two miles distant
from his house, the writer of the letter
lost it out of his pocket, having pulled
it out with his handkerchief. It fell
into the bottom of the buggy. When
he arrived at the Post-Office it was
closed for the night, and, putting his
gloved hand into his pocket, he drew
out what he supposed was the envelope
containing the check and deposited it in
the outer box. The envelope so de¬
posited was in reality an undirected one
that had been handed to him in the
street in New York only a few days
previous, and contained an advertising
circular. He drove home, put the
buggy away, and went to bed, feeling
that he had done his work well.
He waited a full week, and hearing
nothing in reiation to the transaction,
he wrote a second letter, inquiring of
his friend as to his success in getting all
of the stock, and asking, as a matter of
form, if he had received the certified
check. He was soon informed that no
such check had come to hand. He
went to the Post-office, but there noth¬
ing was known of it.
“Are you sure you mailed it ?” asked
the Postmaster.
He remembered it distinctly, and gave
the night and the time. This called to
the Postmaster’s mind that the morn¬
ing after the supposed mailing of the
letter the drop box on the door con¬
tained only an undirected circular,
which he easily found in the office. The
gentleman guessed out the matter and
drove rapidly home. In the boot of the
buggy he found the missing letter safe
and sound. He put the letter safely in
an inner pocket, and went about doing
his regular chores, intending to write a
second letter and mail it that evening.
Becoming heated by vigorous work, he
took off his coat and hung it up in the
wagon house. Soon afterward some
friends drove up to spend the remainder
of the day with him, and he went to the
house with them, leaving his coat with
the letter in it in the wagon house. He
did not go to the village that night
as he intended, and the coat and its
contents were for a time forgotten. The
next morning he wrote his second letter,
after which he sought the coat contain¬
ing the first letter and the certified
check, which, to his surprise, had dis¬
appeared. A careful search for it proved
fruitless. None of the family or hired
help could throw auy light upon it, and
he was compelled to come to the con¬
clusion that some tramp had stolen it.
As it had not since been heard of, that
was probably its fate.
Steps to stop payment on the check
were successful, and in the course of
a few weeks a duplicate was issued by
the bank. With this in his possession
the gentleman started early one morn¬
ing. a day or two afterward, to drive to
Middletown and deliver the check in
person. When on the way he was taken
suddenly sick, and was obliged to return
home, and for over a week he was con¬
fined to his room. On the day after
Thanksgiving he again started for Mid¬
dletown with the check in his pocket,
intending to secure the stock. His sur
prise’may be'imagined on reaching there
to learn that the bank in which he bad
been about to invest his ward’s little
fortune, which \fras familiarly known as
“old reliable,” and which he believed to
be as solid as the everlasting hills, was
hopelessly bankrupted.
