There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion the country than all other di
seases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable, tor a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local di
sease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pro
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitution
al disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F.
J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. It is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon
f ul. It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for
any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials.

Like Andrew Carnegie, John G. Tay
lr, of Went Chester, Pa., intends to
dispose of a large ahare of his wealth
while he is yet alive; but instead of
investing it in libraries or schools he
is building monuments on the ISrandy
wine battleneld. He refused to tell
how much he has tpent in this wuy,
but eoniM-teut judges say the statues
aud shafts which he has erected have
cost fully $50,000. He has just com
pleted his most elaborate monument,
a memorial to lieu. Lafuyette, built of
granite at a cost of $$,000. Already he
is planning other designs to honor
the various commanders who partici
pated in the buttle.
Mr. Taylor, who is about 70 years
old, according to the Philadelphia
Times, was formerly a broker and pri
vate banker in West Chester, and when
he retired from business several years
ago, his fortune, while not counted by
millions, was more than ample fur his
needs. His wife and child and several
relatives were buriedi in the cemetery
ut the ltirmingliam meeting house, on
the picturesque hills along the lira ndy
wine, several miles south of West Ches
ter, and at this spot Mr. Taylor spent
most of his leisure moments. He en
deavored to interest others in the proj
ect of preserving the historic remains
at Birmingham, but the staid Quaker
community was slow to become en
thusiastic over a matter so purely sen
timental. It is true that in IStlSthe schoolchil
dren of Chester county collected about
with which the Historical society
of the county was commissioned to
erect a marker at the spot where La
fayette was shot. For this sum a
monument was secured that was rather
LAFAYETTE MKMOIUAU
(Krt'Ctcd Itvrently on the Fam.jua llat
Ik'fU'ld of Ilrundy wine.)
imposing in design, but it was con
structed of terracotta. Dedication ex
ercises were held on September 11,
1S1IS, the anniversary of the battle. Not
long afterward, under the influence
of the storms that swept the exposed
hillside, the terracotta monument be
gan to crumble, and it is now in ruins.
When Mr. Taylor began his work
of Imlfding monuments he first pro
vided suitable memorials fortius wife
aud child. Three Mat lies, made in
Italy, of the best white marble of that
country, were erected on the Taylor
plot, one being a life size figure of
his wife, another representing Jesm
Christ, and the third being a group
consisting of the Virgin Mary and two
cherubim. These statues were incased
in glass and placed ou massive pedes
tals of glazed brick.
Last year Mr. Taylor endeavored to
enlist the cooperation of the state
legislature in'erect ing a monument to
Lafayette en the battlefield. He of
fered to bear most of the expense,
merely asking the state to give a share
so that the project might not appear
to be entirely an individual enterprise.
The appropriation, however, was not
granted. Cndismayed, Mr. Taylor pro.
ceeded with his plans, and under his
supervision the monument has nov
been completed. It consists of a col
umn of granite cubes, reaching the
height of 25 feet. The granite was
quarried at St. Peter's, in the north
western part of Chester county. The
monument is no arranged that if desira
ble a statue of Lafayette muy be placed
,m the top. On the sides are inscribed
two extracts from au address delivered
by Lafayette at West Chester on the
occasion of his visit in ISL'3. One is the
following toast:
"Maythe blood spilled by thousands
with equal merit in the cause of inde
pendence and freedom be to ensuing
generations an eternal pledge of un
alloyed republicanism, federal unity,
public prosperity and domestic happi
ness." The otherquotation is as follows:
"The honor to have mingled my
blood with that of many other Ameri
can soldiers on the heights of Brandy
wine has been to me a source of pride
and delight."
Mr. Taylor's monuments, remarkable
in themselves, are the more conspicu
ous because they stand In a Quaker
cemetery. OiigJhally the Friends' dor
trine of extreme simplicity permitted
the erection of no mnrkers whatever
at the graves of their dead. 1 n modern
times, however, they have tolerated
the low headstones now common in
their graveyards. At Birmingham, in
addition to this, a tract is set apart
for those who do not choose to ad
here rigidly to Quaker methods of
.burial, and it is in this section that
Mr. Taylor's monuments are placed.
