LEANING* TOWER IN RUIN9* For On* Day Title 229* Foot Htocl fth?ft ( I<e*cu?ble<J Pride. Tho last vestl/re of tbo great midwin ter fair at San FfftHcUco was removed recently whou tho talj tewor on which the great searchlight was placed was pulled dowp after sever*! days of hard labor. Pypamlto was trlod on the foundations at flrst without success. Enormous cables wouD^on windlasses were attached to the framework and pulled, while twolvo blii^ts were tired iu tbo foyr ton-foot cufec* of cement that formed tho foundation stones. With all that enorgy the tower only leaned a little to ono sldo, and for thlrty-sl* hours/'Sah Francisco had a ! leaning towor tff Plfta. The number of , blasts was doubled, mora cables wei-o attached, and afr Imt iQ one long, grand pull? aided by twcnty.four thundorlng explosions, tho 226 foot shaft of steel toppled slowly over, twnt and twlsfod Into fantastic shapes. Tho iron was then broken up for Junk. The electric tower was a white ele? phant to the raSn who invested mohoy in it. It did not come anywhere near paying for its construction. The coin* pany became involved in financial diffi culties, it is said, and wh?ta tho mana gers learned that it would cost morn to takft the thing down than it would bring chopped into pieces they decided THE TOWKH THAT WOULDN'T TCMIILE. to allow tho Tark Commissioners to got rid of |t. The tower stood In the ?wny of a grated concourse thnt Is be ing out. Tfcls driveway runs through tho park In which t&o mid winter fair was located.

If; that amendment Is made, It will not onlv' P'ease all tho good p?opl? of tho country,' but will please tho heavens. It was only an oversight or a mental aeoldent that th > tath*' ers who ma le th?? oonslltutlon did not insert i ?divinely worshlpmrHoutence. They all. ?o ! far ns they amounted to apythlng. believed , In "Qorl tho Father Almlahiv, tho Maker of I boaven nnd earto, an.l to -Jesus Christ. His only begotten Hon." The constitution w^nld have boeu a failure hnl it not b?on for the div ne intorfer?neo. Tho membors of tho i Convention could acreo on noth na? unll'. la I response to B mjamlu Franklin's roou!.?9t that ? be meetlnsrs be opened by prayer, tno Lord Oo 1 was cn'^.i on to Intorfero and help, and then the way was o eared, nnd all tho stntos signed the document, a historical faot that all tho rat terriers of mo lorn Infidelity can not lifcrk out of existence. I know that there was nj ) excoptlotj to till fact that tho proml* pent iron 1n those tikes wore good men. Tom Palno, a libertine and n sot. did not believe In nnyihlnsr goo 1 until. he was dylnur, And then ho shrieked out for God's mercy, .An-1 Ethan Allen, from one of 'whose ?^descendants 1 havo receivo'l within a few <*?ya a confirmation of the incidont 1 men* tioned in n recent sormon, as saying to bis dying riAUtrbtor tliat she had bettwtAko her mother's} Christ lanT^ lglon than his own In fidelity. The article sent me savs: 4,The *tory has been denied by some of the Allen family, but tho Bronson fnmily, some of whom were with the dying girl, affirm thnt it Is substantially true. In suoh a matter! one confirmation Is worth more than many denials." 8o says tho article stint me. There Is no doubt that Ethan Allen waa tho vulgarcst sort of nn Inftdol, lor, sitting in a, Presbyterian Chureb, his a>lmirers say h?V struck th? pew In front of him and swore out louit so as to disturb tho meeting, and no gtntlemnn would do that. I do not wonder that soroo of his doscoudants aro ashamed of liim, but of course Ihoy could not help It and are not to b!nme. But all the decent men of the Revolution beliovtd In Q.id, and otir American congress, now assembled, wlllcnly echo the sentiments of the fathers whon they enthrone tho namo of Go I in the consti* tuiion. Wo ha\M now iflore reason lor Jn^ertln^ that ackaowleiigeinvnt of divinity than our fathers had. Sinco then th? con tinent has been peopled anil great cities ffo n the Ai lantic to tho Tacirto built, and all in peace, showing that there must havo boen supernal supervisal.
