EIGHTY YKAHS OLD. Kiss Susan B. Anthony Has Reached the Four-Score Mark. NITnitlili Will OhrrT Ftbrnarr IB, 1H, iti n lmr on Which to Pay Tribute to Their Dlntlng-nUlied Lratlpr's Work. The Xntionnl American Womnn Suf frage association will celebrate the eightieth birthday of their great lend r. Strsnn B. Anthony, in a manner Befitting her grand work for human Ity. 'A committee appointed for this purpose i making- preparations for a public meeting1 In honor of the event, which will take place on February 15, tn Lafayette opera house, Washington, IX C. Id the evening of the same day there Will be a card reception for Miss An thony, at which she will receive with BKmbiri of the birthday committee. The occasion will be one of interest in any way. Those having the ar rangements In charge ore: Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, chair nan; Rachel Foster Avery, secretary; Harriet Taylor Upton, Ohio; May Wright Sewnll, Indiana; Mary B. Clay, Kentucky; Kmily M. fiross, Illinois; Mrs. Senator Burrows, Michigan; Mrs. Senator Warren, Wyoming; Lucy E. Anthony, Pennsylvania, and Harriet Stnnton Blatch, of England. Prominent women representing all phases of woman's work and experi ence will present to Miss Anthony their greetings, and express their sense of recognition of what her lu fcors have meant to their respective efforts. There is not a woman to-day, no matter what her position, who has touched any of the really vital issues f life, who has not been helped to some degree by the efforts of Miss An thony and her compeers. This celebration will follow the close of the National Woman Suffrage con vention, which will be in session in Washington from February 8-15. When Miss Anthony began her work woman was a chattel in the eye of the law; shut out from all advantages of SUSAN B. ANTHONY. (For Fifty Tears Leader of the Woman's i Suffrage Movement.) higher education and opportunities in the industrial world; an utter de pendent on man; occupying a subordi nate position in the church; restrained to the narrowest, limits along sociui lines; an absolute nonenity in politbs. To-dny American women are envied by those of other nations, aoid stand comparatively free individuals, with the exception of political disabilities. During the 50 years which have wrought this revolution. Miss Anthony is the one woman in all the world who has given every day of her time, every dollar of her money, every power ot her bciiig, to secure these results. She was impelled to this work from no per sonal grievance, but solely through a deep Bfnso of the injustice which, on every side, she saw perpetrated against her sex, and which sho determined to combat. Never for one short hour has the cause of woman been forgotten or put aside for any other object Never a single tie has been formed, either of affection or business, which would interfere with this supreme pur pose. Never a speech has been given, av trip taken, a visit made, a letter written in all this half century of her efforts that has not been done direct ly in the interest of this one object. There has been no thought of personal comfort, advancement or gloryf the self-abi.egation, the self-sacrifice have been uhwolute ihey have been unpar alleled. Future generations will wonder what manner of people thn&c were who not only permitted this woman to labor for humanity for 50 years almost unaided, but also compelled her to beg or earn the money with which to carrv on her work. Too often these facts are forgotten or ignored by those who have been most benefited by her la bors. They see glory in the fact that mone5' is entirely their own now to do with as they ydease, but do not know, or will not ndmit, that the statutes which guarantee this independence were passed by the efforts of Miss An thony ond her compeers. That they may express in some small degree their appreciation of Miss An thony's life of BelNsaeriflcing labor, in (heir behalf, the women have arranged this celebration to take plate upon her aightfrth birthday.

First Memorlnl to (irnrue WnliliiB ton, t.nentcd nt tinonaboro, Md In Itnlna Aa-nln. For the second time since its erec tion in 1SC7 the first monument ever Taised to the memory of (leorge Wash ington is in ruins. It was originally bnilt by the united efforts of the peo ple of Hoonslioro, Md., on the top of South mountain, a lofty cliff, com manding a wide view of the surround ing country. On July 4, 18?7, almost nil the adult population of the vil lage, headed by a band, marched up the steep path to the top of the nioun- BOONSROP.O MONUMENT. (First Memorial Ever Raised In Honor ol Washington.) tain and there went to work. 1 There were stonemasi ns ond builders among them, nnd every man did his best, to help. The foundation had been laid previously, but on that one day the en tire superstructure of the inonumnt was built, Jt was 54 feet in circum ference at the base and 15 feet high, composed of a wall made up of large stones, the interior being tilled with the same material. In the? center a stairway led up to the top of the pile. Twelve feet from the base, on the side fronting lioonsboro, a white marble ti.blet was inserted bearing a fitting inscription. Many soldiers who fought in the revolutionary war took part in the erection of the monument, and the oration was delivered by a clergy man who had served as chaplain in the continental armies. In IS72 nothing was left of the oris- inal monument but the foundation and a few crumbling fragments. At that time a movement was started to re store the monument, and in 1SS3 it was rededicoted, having been raised to a height of 50 feet and surrounded by an iron framework and balcony. The site of the monument is so ex posed, however, that even the restored structure has fallen a prey to the ele ments, so that now it is again in a condition of ruin. Historical investi gation has shown that this was the first monument ever raised in honor of the Father of His Country, and a movement is again on foot to restore it to its original condition. MAIL COLLECTION. Indiana Man Invents an Arrangement Designed to Make It Eair and Expeditions, Patents relating to improvements in postal facilities are one of the most prolific classes. These relate to im provements in the mail boxes and mail pouches, proposed methods of picking up and delivering mail from flying railroad trains, etc. Andrew L. Henry, of Ladoga, Ind., has hit upon a start ling! y novel arrangement in this al ready overworked field, but, like many A RECENT INVENTION. (Device to Make the Collection of Mall Matter Easy.) of such inventions, it Is probably im practical. It is a system of receiving and delivering for use in towns in con junction with horse and wagon collec tions, and is designed to enable the post inn n to make his rounds,' accom plished by attaching the muil boxes tc their supports with u yielding fu toning of some, kind, such as a chain and weight. The box is shown in the illustration, attached to a post by means of chains, and is provided with a counter weight, and a handle fox greater convenience. The postman, it is supposed, drives up, reaches out hU hand, grasps the handle and lifts the mail box. into the wagon, where it contents are removed.

THE COLUMBIAN, PROGRESS OF GUAM, One of Our Island Possessions Al ready Half Civilized. Wonderful Work Apeomplluhe d hr Capt. I.earr nnd Ilia AiNorlates ('onrablnasre and Shivery r.ntlrrljr Afaollahed. The new year dawns auspiciously Upon our far-away possession, the Island of (iuam. Copt, I.eary is not only an ideol governor but an ideal reformer. Everything he attempt j Succeeds and every act of his thus far i i - mm umi on me lines oi good govern ment, morality, progress and civlll r.ution, His colonial subjects have proved opt scholars, and although his administration has Involved the com plete reversal of century-old practices they have taken to it kindly and even with n certain sort of enthusiasm. Capt. Leary, says the Chicago Trib une, hns been naval governor of Guam ior barely a year, but he wos no soon er in his gubernatorial chair than he entered upon his work of reform. His first step was to cure his subject of laziness, nnd this he did by notify ing them thnt thpy must raise vege tables enough for their own consump tion and to supply the tables of the governor and hia garrison also. Not withstanding they had been lotus eat ers all their lives and had lived upon what nature so lavishly provided, they took to truck farming with such a will that now every Cuamlte can have n New England boiled dinner when ever he wishes it. The Guamitcs had a way of not paying their debts. He im pressed them with the sanctity of 'inonciol obligation. They had never known the monning of the word 'taxes," but th-?y soon learned it and i "nave manifested no opposition to pay ing them. They have never known the value of domestic animals. He stimulated their Interest in natural , history by Intimating that every head of a family must have a cow, a donkey i and seme hens. As to the last administrative net Copt. Leary found a dilliculty in. executing CAPT. RICHARD P. LEARY. (Naval Governor of the Island of Guam In the Ladrones.) it. It was simple enough to ascertain who was the head of the family, but it was not so easy to identify the family, for marital relutions hod been assumed and abandoned at will. The most ex pert genealogist would have had diffi culty in fixing Up the family tree of any Guamite, so extraordinary were its ramifications. Capt. Leary solved the problem by cutting the knot. He issued a peremptory order that every adult male must pick out one woman, take out a license, marry her on n given day, love, honor and protect, if not obey her, nnd settle down to housekeeping. The Guamites made no objection even to this extraordinary proposition. On the day appointed every mother's son of them appeared with the woman he had selected nnd was legally married to her and concubinage was at an end in Guam. To crown his reforms Capt. Leary on New Year's day issued his decree that slavery was abolished in Guam. The islanders offered no opposition. They are now launched on the full tide of civilization and they are making Biich satisfactory progress on their new lines that it may be confidently antici pated by the time the last year of the century closes Guam will be the most advanced of all our new possessions. At the pace Capt. Leary is going the first day of the twentieth century may dawn upon nn island with oil the es sentials nnd some of the luxuries of modern civilization. It may not be too much to assume that on January 1, 1901, Guam will have its primaries and conventions, its policemen and firemen, Its mayors and aldermen, its corpora tions and tax dodgers, its newspapers, football tenuis and automobiles, and thnt the one-year-old brides will be en rolled in women's clubs, studying the question whether Kipling is a second or first class writer and working for dear life to solve the meaning of Brown ing. As eompnred with Cuba, Puerto Blco nnd the Philippines, Guam hns lalrly plunged head foremost into civil ization. Cros to Mark Century. During the current year the close of he century will be marked by the erection on the tops of the tallest moun tain peaks in Italy of 19 enormous stone crosses, one of each of the Chris tian centuries. The crosses are to be erected by the international commit tee of the Work of Solemn Homage to Jesus the Redeemer. Two of the moun' tains near Rome are already marked by huge crosses, one of which has a pious soclpty for its protection. The 19 mountain peaks on which the new crosses are to be built have already been selected. On each cross will be carved theilnseription; JesuvChristus, Dcus, Homo, Vlvet, Regnet, Iniperat."

The farmers of the United States have long needed a good work on Swine, a practi cal, concise nnd common-sense bo.k with out any padding or humbug about it.
