(its Owner Stands in Marble on the Front Steps in Life Size.) 120,000 bricks. Its dimensions are 18 by feet, and it is 20 feet high. Each block of granite weighs from 3 to 6 tons. The exterior decorations are Greek foliage with laurel frieze. Within the portal is closed by a gran- ite door of one marble slab weighing 6,500 pounds. But the conspicuous and gruesome feature of this mausoleum is the life- sized statue of Mr. Bowman himself, standing hat in hand, with one foot upon the step, about to enter tomb! He holds a wreath of marble immortelles, and a huge key with which to unlock the chamber of death. Within, upon pedestals, are busts of himself, his wife, his beautiful daugh- ter, and in the center, his baby, its} plump limbs sinking into a cushion, its chubby arms extended to its mother, cold and rigid in unresponsive marble. These were wrought in Italy from finest Parian marble (as was his own figure) and are of immense value. Two long mirrors give the illusion of vast corridors filled with busts and statues of dazzling whiteness. By this optical illusion 30 halls may be seen. Rich sculptures, bronze traceries and ornaments fill the sepulchre. A nightly illumination is produced by six bronze candelabra, bearing py ramids of wax candles, which shed Since to the financial side of railr lic attention has been somewhat di-} verted from the other phase of his management. curved recently, however, shows that} Mr. Hill is as practical asever.

THE AMERICAN NAVY. ~ Secretary Long Talks to a Newspa<« per Reporter About Its Person- mel and Efficiency. The enlisted men are very much ime proved. Drinking habits are not tol- { erated, and liquors are no longer al- lowed on the ships. I issued an order to that effect some two or three years ago, and have found that the results are good. The old sailor has in one sense passed away. There are no longer sails for him to manage and man. Our navy to-day is as good as any in the world. Not only ‘that, but it is rapidly increasing, both in size and in strength. It is better to-day than any SECRETARY OF NAVY LONG. (He Declares Our Navy to Be the Equal of Any in the World.) other as far as it goes. I say this while admitting that the British and French navies are larger. Our relations with foreign officers are very cordial, and the very strength of our navy will insure us a long period of peace. While I have great pride in our navy, I am confident that the in- terests of the world in the future lie | | in the direction of peace. Not only does Christian civilization shudder at | war, but as a financial question it is The cost of preparation to-day is more than any nation can bear. When to this you add the still greater cost resulting from loss of business, destruction of com- merce, and the general upsetting of all industries, the total reaches an in- | ealeulable figure. It will be a disgrace to civilization and a discredit to human ingenuity and judgment if after solv- ; ing all other great problems it cannot solve the problem of international dis- putes in some way less clumsy, brutal and costly way than by killing and bloodshed and the destruction of life and property. Enslaves the Kaiser's Son, Miss Parker Deacon, who went to Berlin recently with the duchess of Marlborough, cfeated a furore in Ger- man court circles. The crown prince, who will be kaiser if he outlives his fa- ther, was her devoted slave. In addi- tion to being one of the most perfect- ly beautiful girls imaginable, che is ‘an excellent linguist and uncommonly clever. Therefore it is no wonder that she causes a sensation wherever she goes. The duchess of Marlborough is devoted to her. Miss Deacon has every prospect of mak@g a brilliant mar- riage. Miss Secor, andther American girl, has made a sensational social suc- cess as well as Miss Deacon under the chaperonage of Lady Decies. Poetry and Labor Mix, A blending of poetry with the stern reality of manual work in applied sci- ence offered a departure in education- al methods at the Armour institute at Chicago the other day. President Gun- saulus, determined that labor ip greasy shops clad in overalls and jump- ers should not rob the students of an appreciation of the delicate flights of poetry. introduced a new feature by giving over an hour to a lecture on one of the later English poets. The pur- pose of the lecture to the freshmen, as announced by President Gunsaulus, was to give to the students a broader view of the education that might be iseful in engineering branches. em ee CARPEIS MADE, LAID, AND LINED FREE SIDE BOARDS:..
