a FREEDOM'S PERCH. How the Big Bronze Statue Was Placed in Position. The Figure That Crow: Salated by Salvos of Artillery When Hotsted to Its Place. And how got Freedom there? High on the @cme, supported only from below, with nothing to hold to, in mid air, with the sky ‘and an infinity of space around and above, her head in the clouds, their damp kisses on her brow, in sunshine and storm, in bleak winter and torrid summer, she stands firmly and boldly on the topmost height of the great Capitol, the figure of courage, freedom and inlependence. It was almost as difficult to raise this statue to its place as it has been to plant the standard of freedom on the rugged Hed g i & fF If Hg l In his report Thomas U. Walter, then architect of the Capitol, says of this event: “Precisely at 12 m., on the aforesaid 2d day of December, 1563. the crowning feature of the statue was started from the ground im front of the Capitol. by means of a steam hotsting apparatus, which has been success- in the construction of the entire dome, and in twenty minutes ft reached the height of 300 feet. when it was moved to its place, and firmly attached to the remaining Dortion of the figure; as soon as it was Property adjusted, the American flag was unfurled over How It Was Accomplished. ‘This raising of the statue to its place on tt » dome was accomplished without acci- dent of any sort. It occurred just in the midst of war times, when patriotic feeling was aroused to the point of great excite- ment, which added to the impressiveness of the occasion. ‘The figure was placed with face toward me tgif H i Hi ; : a it J Ba § § ‘ & iy 8 Hy neg E i a i g Hi g 5 & 8 Hy a g e ern 4 most of the inhabitants had a back view of : the city ts built up in all rections and the peculiarity of the situa- tion of the building is not as conspicuous. Moreover, the west front has been beauti- fied by the construction of the new terrace, which is a striking feature of the building. taking away from that part of the building the idea of being a back door.

On the inside from the head to the foot there is a perfect mass of bolts and fron bars and braces extending down into the dome and bolted fast. Nothing can shake the figure. Many a mighty gale has howied about her. Her head has been in the thunder clouds, and the lightning’s shafts have shattered on her brow with a crash sounding through every arch and echoing wall of the vast building. —_— Young Men on the Supreme Bench. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I noticed in the sketch of the life of Mr. Hornblower, the nominee for the vacancy in the United States Supreme Court, con- tained in one of the morning papers yes- terday it was stated that he is the young- est man ever nominated for a position on that bench, except Story. Mr. Hornblow- er’s age was given as forty-two years. If So there were five others who when ap- jointed were under forty-two, vig: James ell. appol February 10, 1790, was thirty-eicht, HAsiizod Washington, appoint- ed September 29, 1793, was thirty-six: Will. fam Johnson, appointed March 26, 184, was thirty-two; Benjamin R. Curtis, appointed September 2. 1351, was forty-one, and John A. Campbell, appointed March 22, 1%3, was forty-one, and one other, Thomas Todd, appointed March 3, 18%, was forty-two. IRWIN B. LINTON. ——- —__ Senator Hoar and the Apples. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: Happening in the Senate gallery yester- ay, the writer noticed a singular lapse on the part of Senator Hoar for a classical scholar. He accused Senator Voorhees of “cramming apples of discord down the mouths” of Senators on the minozity side. Your classical editor will remember that the “apple of discord” (a golden one, by the way) was not proposed to the three beautl. ful goddesses on Mg. Ida for internal admin- istration, but inscribed “to the most beautiful” was probably placed in a coi spicuous place among the bric-a-brac of the successful lady, as a token of her triumph over the other “queen of beauty” aspirants.

A nine-year-old girl named Cooper, @aughter of an employe of the Hum- meistown Brown Stone Company, who lives about two miles from Hummels- town, Pa. went to school Tuesday morning.

MERIT. ‘The Effect of the Two Systems in the ‘Ratlway Mail Service. From Good Government. Postmaster General Wissell has had) prepared a table showing what pro- gress has been made in the rail- way mail service during the last nine years. In the first column ts noted the fiscal year in which the recori was kept. The second column shows the number of pieces of mail matter correctly distributed { to every piece erroneously placed by a clerk: Sssessss lettetetetete efficiency of the railway mail service has increased or diminished in precive ratio to the extent in which the merit system. as distinguished from the patronage system, has been applied to it. in 1s the service was in comparatively ood condjtion, hav- ing been for a number of years under con- trol of one party, and thersfore suf.ering little from needless removals and appoint- ments. By 188 the changes incident to the incoming of @ new party hud begun to re- flect themselves by a slecrease of nearly 1,350 in the ratio. As the changes increase, We find in 1887 a still further decline. Mean- while, a good many of the new men had been broken in and become of some value to the service. The year 188, therefore, witnessed a alight increase, and 18% anoth- er nearly equal to it. By the time 18 closed the effect of Mr. Wanamaxer's wholesale assault upon the service for partisan rea- sons had made itself felt, and the lowest Proportion of all. 2,84, had been reached. Then Mr. Cleveland's classijcation order maker was compelled to reinstate 4 iarge number of became operative, and Mr. Wi the old and skilled clerks, through competi- tive examination, to replace those who were too utterly inefficient to be longer retained; hence, in 1891 we find the ratio at one jump nearly doubling itself, an steady progress through 1992 and 1893 has brought It up to 7,14, the highest record of efficiency ever made in the service. —__ +o+____ BROOKLAND.

The Anacostia Citizens’ Association will meet this evening for the election of offi- cers. This ceremony was to have been gone through with one week ago, but be- cause of bad weather and slim attendance it was postponed. A number of the friends of President W. Marden King are urging him for re-election, and it ts thought that if he wants the place he may have it. He is now serving his second term as president of the organization. The partisans of Mr. R. B. Buckley feel that he is entitled to some recognition for the services which he has performed. It has been said in some quarters that Col. John N. Minnix, the first President of the association, was an app! cant for the honor, but he emphatically de- nies this. Streets, roads, bridges, flats, sewers and public parks will be discussed after the election is over. The post office fight seems to have been further complicated by the appearance of another candidate, J. E. Minnix. Friends of that gentleman are making a strenuous contest to have him win. The anti-Tolson- ites profess to think that this is only an- other move in the combination against their favorite. Business men report that things are dull. Real estate men speak encouragingly of the future. Mrs. David O’Brien of the county is visit- ing friends at Baltimore. ‘| > East Capitol Street Poorly Lighted. To the Editor of The Evening Star: East Capitol street is one of the poorest lighted streets in Washington. This is due to the fact that the lampposts insead of be- ing placed near the curbs are set way back on the pavements, consequently whatever light there would otherwise be, it is pre- vented from reaching the street at all on account of the trees in front. This makes travel very dangerous, especially on a dark night, and when it {s taken into considera- tion that a street car line occupies the cen- ter of the street. It is true no serious colli- sions have yet occurred, but at the same time “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” East Capitol street is one of the principal thoroughfares of East Washington, and in justice to those who reside thereon, or who are obliged to pass through the street, the matter should be remedied at once. The District Commis- sioners, Congress, or whoever has the au- thority should see that the pipes are taken up and relaid so as to bring the posts near the curbs, and that the street 1 property lighted. ——_—_ A Substitute for Street Blockading. To the Editor of The Evening Star It is not my purpose to defend Chief Par- ris from the criticism made by a corre- spondent in yesterday's Star, of the chief's act in cutting a rope that had been stretch- ed across the street by permission of the health office to prevent travel past a house where some one was dangerously ill. I would like to suggest that there might be some better means adopted to protect the nervous sick from the irritating noises of wheels rumbling over the pavements than that of blockading streets, often to the great inconvenience of many people.

When the announcement of the forma- tion of the brotherhood was made in the parliament yesterday considerable enthu- siasm was manifested, and Col. Thomas Wentworth Higginson made a short ad- dress on the subject of unity. He pleaded for Christian charity and toleration, and said that it was time to lay aside the idea that a man must belong to some particular denomination to be regarded as a good man. The best of men, he said, had little to boast of, and it was time to judge men by their work instead of by their faith. ——__+e+___. Saved by Its Song. From the Lewiston Evening Journal. A little thistle bird in Monmouth owes tts life to its perseverance and habit of singing while in trouble. A man tn that village had heard the small songster’s persistent notes near his window for nearly a month, and at last called the attention of a friend who makes q study of birds and their ways to {ts song. This friend soon made the discov- ery that the bird was a prisoner to its nest. A ladder was brought and the bird and nest were taken down and examined. One leg of the little sufferer had become ensnarled in the wool with which the nest was lined, and tt only after twenty minutes of pat taking efforts with sharp instruments tha’ the limb was loosed from the snarl. This done the spectators were surprised to see birdie fly away, apparently as well as though never tied to a near-by apple tree. The bird's parents or some other of his feathered friends had kept It supplied with food during its imprisonment. alle tow ck ‘Trauster Checks. From the Buffalo Courier.
